Chapter 521 Li Chengtian
Li Muhan didn't even choose to take the elevator. He climbed to the top of the headquarters building at an extremely fast speed.
Because this place is underground, it is always night, but recently the Science Council and Engineering Department of the Tianhai City Special Management Bureau jointly developed a simulated sky system.
That is to say, projection technology is used to allow the underground special management bureau to see the sunlight.
Although this is a bit like drawing a fire to keep warm, being able to see the bright sky still has a great impact on people's hearts.
But unfortunately, this technology has not been widely adopted. After all, not all special management bureaus are buried deep underground like the Tianhai City Special Management Bureau.
Most of the special management bureaus are built on the ground.
At this moment, pushing open the door to the rooftop of the headquarters building, Li Muhan faced the setting sun above his head and saw a thin figure lying on the railing at the edge of the roof smoking a cigarette.
Every time he sees Lin Ze, Li Muhan feels at ease.
He didn't even realize that Lin Ze was actually very thin. How could such a small body handle so many things?
As if she noticed someone coming up, Lin Ze slowly turned around, and when she saw that it was Li Muhan, her usual gentle smile appeared on her face.
"What do you want to talk to me about?"
Facing Lin Ze's question, Li Muhan did not answer. Instead, he walked up to her and said solemnly: "Thank you today, Director Lin, thank you for speaking for me."
"I tricked you into the Special Management Bureau, so of course I have to be responsible for you."
Lin Ze said half-jokingly.
But Li Muhan knew that she never broke her promise.
Xia Yue said that after the battle with Prometheus, she had already lost consciousness and was almost swept into the bottomless trench.
It was Lin Ze who saved him at that time.
I don’t know when it started, but Li Muhan has developed a sense of dependence on this mysterious sister.
"Anyway, Director Lin, thank you so much for taking care of me."
"...Okay, stop saying these cheesy things. Aren't you here to bring me food?"
Lin Ze had already seen the take-out lunch box in Li Muhan's hand.
Li Muhan nodded quickly.
But Lin Ze didn't answer. Instead, she asked Li Muhan a question: "Li Muhan, if one day you discovered that the world is not what you thought it was, and even everything you knew about yourself was fake, what would you do? Would you want to destroy the world?"
Faced with Lin Ze's question, Li Muhan was stunned for a moment.
Lately, people have been asking him some rather profound questions, but he doesn't really like to think about these things.
"To be honest, I don't remember much about the past, but I'm glad I trusted you and joined the Special Management Bureau."
Li Muhan walked to Lin Ze and leaned against the railing.
"Actually, I had another thought at the time, which was to let Baal control my body. No matter what, at least I could live a happy life that way. I could kill whoever I wanted and do whatever I wanted. How wonderful it would be."
"So, you were willing to compromise at that time because you were afraid of me?"
Li Muhan shook his head and continued, "It's not because I'm afraid of you, but because I've thought about it carefully. I really don't have anything in particular I want to do, or anyone I particularly want to kill. If there is one thing, it's that I hope to find my biological parents."
Having said that, Li Muhan turned to look at Lin Ze and asked the question he had always wanted to ask.
"Director Lin, are my parents Li Chengtian and Lu Xue?"
"Lu Xue?"
Lin Ze was a little surprised when he heard the name, while Li Muhan was a little disappointed.
Because he could see that Lin Ze really didn't know this woman named Lu Xue, so she naturally had no idea who her biological parents were.
"Although I don't know who this Lu Xue is, but Li Chengtian... I think he should be your father. Do you want to hear about your father?"
Lin Ze noticed Li Muhan's disappointment, and then he moved closer to him and nudged him with his elbow: "Go to the cafeteria and buy me a pack of cigarettes, then come to my office. I can tell you about what I know about Li Chengtian."
Li Muhan's eyes lit up, and without any hesitation, he jumped over the railing like lightning and jumped up.
"You kid...opened a boundary within the Special Management Bureau, remember to go to the enforcement department to receive your punishment!"
Lin Ze looked at the flash of lightning that rushed into the cafeteria and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
She took a slow puff of cigarette and then blew out smoke rings. Chang Yue had come to her side without her knowing when.
"Are you going to tell him about Li Chengtian?"
Chang Yue asked with a smile.
"What does it matter? I don't know much anyway. It shouldn't involve any core secrets."
"well."
Chang Yue held the railing for a long time before saying, "I'm sorry, Lin Ze, I should have been the one to tell the child these things."
"Don't worry about it."
Lin Ze waved his hand and walked towards the rooftop exit: "You have your own stance, and in this regard, I am more free than you."
Five minutes later, Lin Ze just walked into the office, and Li Muhan followed him after buying two packs of cigarettes.
"Be good and close the door."
Lin Ze said to Li Muhan with a smile.
Li Muhan quickly turned around and closed the door, locking it.
"We sat on the high sofa and listened to Director Lin tell stories from those days."
Li Muhan sat on the sofa while singing. It can be seen that he seemed very happy. After all, what Lin Ze wanted to say was about his father. He never thought that he would be able to hear words about the old man in this life.
Then Lin Ze made a cup of tea for Li Muhan, sat beside him, and talked about the Li Chengtian he knew.
Li Chengtian, how should I put it, this man is also an outlier among outliers.
He was born into a farming family during the war-torn Ming Dynasty. He was the same age as Wang Yao and Chang Yue.
On the day of his birth, three stars set the sun and polar night enveloped the earth, lasting for three full days.
He was also considered by the villagers to be the incarnation of an evil star, and was almost drowned when he was born.
Fortunately, his mother tried her best to protect him, but when he was eight years old, a fortune teller came and said that Li Chengtian was doomed to die and would not live beyond the age of eight.
Otherwise, it will bring fatal disaster to the village.
It happened that the war had subsided in those two years, and Li Chengtian was very sensible. Although he was only eight years old, he often helped the villagers with their work, so everyone liked the child and did not take the fortune teller's words seriously.
Unexpectedly, at the beginning of winter that year, a group of soldiers and bandits looted the village. Among the 120 people in the village, only Li Chengtian escaped because he was hidden in a well by his mother.
Since then, Li Chengtian began to wander alone. He firmly believed that he was doomed, so he never contacted anyone and only dared to hide in the mountains and forests.
Four years passed in the blink of an eye.
Because he was isolated from the ordinary world, Li Chengtian could hardly speak human language. He often wandered in the mountains and forests and was called a savage by the nearby villagers.
That year, some strange things happened in several nearby villages. At first, the villagers found that their chickens were always being stolen.
People suspected that it was done by a weasel or a wild dog.
But later, a hunter returned home to find his house in a mess and his wife missing.
He immediately rushed into the woods with his bow and arrow. Relying on his years of hunting skills, he followed footprints and a little blood. He saw a short boy with messy hair. The boy was about twelve or thirteen years old. He was holding an unconscious person in his arms.
And that person was the hunter's wife.
The hunter was furious and drew his bow and shot an arrow, which hit the boy's left shoulder.
The boy felt pain, left the woman behind and ran away.
The hunter wanted to chase after him, but he was worried about his wife, so he secretly left a mark, observed the direction of the blood trail, and then took the woman back to the village.
When he told others that there were wild men in the mountains and that they had stolen his wife, people became very frightened.
But also very angry.
It's bad enough that you steal chickens and dogs, but how dare you steal people now?
The hunter's wife seemed frightened but not seriously injured and remained in a coma.
So at the call of the village chief, they organized people to go into the mountains to search for people. The mountains and forests were brightly lit for several consecutive nights, but no trace of any wild men was found.
Finally, someone said, could this be a mandrill? If it really was a mandrill, then they would definitely not be able to find it, and they would have to be careful of its revenge.
So the village chief thought about it and decided to seek help.
At that time, there happened to be a knight in the next town. It was said that the knight was dedicated to slaying demons and eliminating evil spirits. The village chief quickly asked someone to invite the knight to the village.
A boy in his teens also came with them.
After hearing what the villagers had to say, the knight decided to take his apprentice into the mountains to check it out.
After entering the mountain, he immediately felt something was wrong.
There are two different auras in this forest. One of them is human-like, while the other is obviously the realm of monsters.
After using a trick to enter the realm, the knight discovered many signs of fighting in the forest.
Following these traces, the knight and his apprentice came to a cave and found a hundred-year-old black bear demon in the cave.
The black bear demon was already dying, but after seeing the knight, it actually spoke human language.
"Hurry...kill me, don't let that little bastard come after me again."
