Chapter 169 Farewell Letter
It was a peaceful month.
Life goes on as usual, and one day a surprise drops. The government did not wait until daylight, but only received information from the patients whose emotions had finally calmed down.
Perhaps it is because they know that the terrible torture is far away from them and they no longer need to tremble and fight against fear, the patients' conditions are effectively controlled and their mental states are getting better and better.
They said: They were usually deceived by people they knew, and were abducted to become successful experimental subjects in the dark nest. They had no idea where they had been, and only overheard the conversations between the researchers and the cultists during the brief moments of peace. For example, the location of the secret nest seems to be in a remote and uninhabited place, with vines surrounding it blocking the entrance, plants growing well, and birds singing.
It sounds like a forest.
Based on the degree of coma recalled by each person, the government determined the basic direction, drew the most likely location on the map, and sent out powerful psychics to investigate.
Several undercover agents hiding in the guild were also successfully caught.
After a while, the sent-out psychic did discover an abnormality at the destination. Birds singing among the plants and bones under the soil are the same scenes as described by the patient, with the key point being the passage covered by vines.
The thick and dense vines were cut cleanly in one go, and some residual supernatural powers still remained on the cut, falling to the ground in pieces, as if someone had broken in without any scruples.
"I guess it was Bai Day who did it." The psychic reported, "After all, the power was very pure. Even if the energy was weak, I could sense the power of the main messenger."
"Where is the Dark Nest?" asked the senior executive.
"As for the Dark Nest, I also walked into that passage and took a look. It was a very narrow passage, like a rat hole." The psychic scratched his head and counted the small passages inside with a frown. "But the door was open. I searched for a long time but didn't see anyone. The Dark Nest might have moved away a long time ago."
"But that's normal. After all, there was no obstacle for me to enter. If it was still there, how could there not be a protective formation set up?"
That is indeed the truth.
But... is it really so open and aboveboard? Bai Zhou hasn't appeared for such a long time, could it be that he is seriously injured and hiding to recuperate? Everyone was thinking and guessing.
"I think Bai Zhou should be fine. He is not as bad as he seems." The lady with glasses pushed up her glasses frame, her eyes sharp. "Even if he is seriously injured, he can fight against the Dark Nest in half? Although it sounds outrageous, he can make the Dark Nest give up its base for so long, so this is not impossible."
He is such a powerful guy that he is lawless.
The government feels that the facts have been sorted out. Bai Zhou should not have rushed directly into the depths to fight with the leader of the Dark Nest. It is a good thing that the Dark Nest was severely damaged and moved away. At least it means that they have more time to strengthen themselves.
Besides this, there is another thing.
The government received an invitation to the ceremony from the White Night Guild.
This is really unexpected. Although in the end times, there are often corresponding activities and ceremonial arrangements to use excitement to dispel the gloom in people's hearts, the government and guilds will also work together, such as the Battle of Zhuolu and the last welfare activity within the government. But when this invitation comes from Bai Ye, it has other meanings.
As the most remote high-level guild in the safe zone, Bai Ye actually has abundant resources of superpowers and a powerful intelligence network. The president, Lin Du, is an ordinary person with a kind and gentle temperament, who protects the people in the area very closely. Therefore, Bai Ye has a very good reputation.
But due to its remoteness and other reasons, Bai Ye does not have a close relationship with the government and has little contact with other guilds. Only large celebrations will be attended.
The control was not enough, and the suspicion grew as the opponent became stronger. In addition, there was a new incident of predators, one of which happened to be relatively close to Bai Ye, but Lin Du, who always loved the people, did not notice it at all. This was really weird.
Thinking in this way, this invitation letter makes sense.
To clear suspicion or to surrender? Either way, it's a positive development.
"Which other guilds received the invitation?" The old man looked at the envelope.
"Lingyao, Poxiao, Shuguang..." the employees said one by one, most of them were old friends, "and Lingyun."
"The date on the invitation is seven days from now. If we want to leave, we have to do it within these few days."
In fact, idle psychics from all over the place were also invited. A special space was made on the commission column to post Bai Ye's invitation letter, sincerely inviting all the tired people to stay there and enjoy this rare feast. Even people nearby could go.
"That's natural, and it's in line with Bai Ye's style." The old man nodded.
"It just so happens that good things have happened these days, and the Dark Nest has been hiding and not daring to act rashly. It's enough to squeeze out some free time to attend the banquet, and I can also go and see how Bai Ye has developed in the past six months."
The officer rubbed his temple, took the envelope from the old man and examined it carefully: "Have you decided who to take with you?"
"Don't bring too many. The speed of dropping copies has increased, and the psychics still need to wait for the government to fight." The old man thought about it and quickly made a decision, "Just take the children who have just finished their missions. They have been tired for so long, and it's time to take a break. It's also good to go somewhere far away."
"That's it." The officer nodded with a smile.
——
After returning from the dungeon, the trio was exhausted. This time they were going to clean up an S-level copy, which was a high-difficulty copy for them and was the first time.
Fortunately, the crazy training over the past thirty days has given them corresponding strength. Although they wanted to lie down on the ground and take a nap after coming out of the copy, the three of them were in good health and had no other serious injuries except for excessive physical exertion.
After I returned to the dormitory, washed up and lay down on the bed, perhaps because I was too tired, it was a rare dreamless night. I slept soundly for ten hours, from late at night to noon.
After opening my eyes, my brain was still a little hazy. The sleep that had not been awakened by the nightmare really replenished my physical strength. Plus, as a superpower, my waist and legs didn't hurt, so I could even go to the training ground and run ten laps.
The bad news is that the coaches couldn't stand the three people's desperate training any more, so they threw out a request form and gave a decisive order, forbidding the three people to set foot in the training ground within two days after the copy was over, and told them to get back and have a good rest.
After all, even if the body doesn't collapse, the spirit is one of the key points that needs to be taken care of. If one collapses on the court, how should the coach explain to the newcomers that the government is not that competitive?
There was no other way, the three of them could only lie in their own beds and spend this forced vacation. They were so lazy that they only spoke by typing in the group, chatting with each other casually and then suddenly disappearing.
Ye Yunhe put down his phone and sighed. He never expected that he would become the person he used to find most terrifying—he actually wanted to get up and find something to do.
A month of high-intensity training has indeed affected my brain. Recalling the sad expressions of the instructors, she decided to just wander around and kill some time.
I won’t tell those two people. Even good teammates need private time.
Ye Yunhe slowly got out of bed and put on her clothes. She tied her ponytail, then slowly opened the door and walked into the corridor, holding a cell phone in her hand.
This month has passed quickly. When immersed in sweat, negative emotions are always thrown down together. The pain turns into motivation and then into strength.
After seeing the dormitory door that had not been opened for half a month, Ye Yunhe felt unexpectedly calm, like the calm sea after the storm subsided, with the remaining icebergs buried under the sea.
I still feel disappointed. She turned the handle silently and stepped into the familiar dormitory.
The furniture was spotlessly clean and it looked like the cleaning staff had been coming all the time. Its popularity, which was already limited, has been eroded to almost nothing after being uninhabited for a long time.
Qi Heng had very few things. On the table were only the novelty gadgets they had given him and a standing calendar that was no longer in use. There are basically no items that can represent the teenager's identity.
Ye Yunhe just opened the window to ventilate the air, but it was cloudy outside and it looked like it was going to rain. The wind was unusually strong, and she was so frightened that she leaned back to avoid the attack on her hair, but accidentally bumped into the bookshelf beside her.
She barely held onto the shaking bookshelf and closed the window silently.
After a glance, his eyes paused suddenly.
The book that was shaking due to the shaking of the bookshelf had its pages opened, but when it was closed, a white corner was revealed inside, as if something was clamped inside. Ye Yunhe frowned, his heart subconsciously trembling.
She gently pinched the white spot and pulled it out along with the book.
It was a theoretical book that explained supernatural powers in detail. It was so boring that it made people sleepy. Only Lin Muyu could calmly finish reading the entire book. She remembered that Si Yu'an asked the boy curiously, and got the answer that he "didn't like to watch it".
Therefore they never touched the book in the corner.
The white was pulled out by a force, revealing its original appearance.
Ye Yunhe took a deep breath, and his fingertips became a little stiff.
It was a letter with the words "Qi Heng" written on it, wrapped in a simple white envelope, indicating that it was indeed an unknown letter left by the dead boy.
Without having time to call the other two over, Ye Yunhe decisively opened the letter and checked it. He used intentionally gentle force so as not to leave a single wrinkle on the letter. Her breathing was a little rapid and her eyes were fixed on the envelope.
She spread out the folded letter paper, and the dense ink marks were enough to understand the writer's mood at the time. The boy's familiar handwriting was fixed on the horizontal lines in a standard format, with the occasional sentence crossed out with a black pen so that it was unclear.
Qi Heng's tone was light, so light that it didn't sound like a farewell letter.
"Zhan Xinjia:"
"Hello, Xiaoye. This is a letter to you. I wrote it a week after I woke up, and it was the night after I distributed the amulets to you. Well, when you see this letter, I may be dead."
"But I didn't expect you to actually find it. On which day was it? I hid it very well... Never mind, it doesn't matter what day it is. I just guessed that you could find the letter. Since you're a girl, it's not convenient for me to sneak into your dormitory to hide the letter, so I had to resort to this last resort."
"I've said so much, but I still haven't gotten to the point. What I want to tell you is - I'm sorry, I lied to you. I've lied to you more than you can imagine, but I have to do this. I'm sorry."
sorry.
The boy's mouth shape before his death suddenly appeared in her mind. Ye Yunhe lowered her head, her fingertips trembling. She gritted her teeth and endured it, and read the words on the paper again.
"Bai Zhou told me everything. He told me my true origins. Those memories that I feared were actually controlled by him. Even our meeting was just a step in his plan. Despite this, I am still very happy to be your teammate."
"I wrote this letter to tell you that I don't regret the decision I made. Whether it was saving the lives of those eight people with special abilities or saving more lives, in the end, what I wanted to save the most was your life. In my dreams, you always died in front of me. In fact, I also want to stand in front of you once."
"So, be stronger. I know you won't stop because of my death. I'm very happy now. Since you read this letter, it means I succeeded, right?"
"Of course, I'm not telling you this just for you. In fact, I once buried three memories in my hometown. I buried them when I was young out of curiosity. Who knew there would be no chance to dig them out again?"
"I wrote the approximate location on the back. I hope that if you have the opportunity to go there, you can help me dig out the three things and bury them in my grave?"
"I'm a little homesick."
"as well as."
"Please don't hate me."
