Si Qi didn't know why Chu Feng was suddenly nervous.
Thirteen years ago, Si Qi suddenly traveled to this body. At that time, he didn't know his past identity or why he came here. The only thing he clearly understood was that he was here to save the world.
Along with his recovery, he also awakened the memories left by this body, from the birth of the original owner to the death of the original owner at the age of eighteen.
Five years old happened to be a very important node in the original owner's life. On this day, he, who had been weak and sick since childhood, pestered his parents and brother and asked them to take him out to play. His family loved him and didn't want him to be wronged, so they put down their work and went to the suburban manor with him.
Unexpectedly, the happy family encountered a wild forbidden creature in the manor. The parents and brother all died in the most terrible way in front of the original owner. Only the original owner, who was protected by everyone, fulfilled the rules set by the forbidden creature and trampled on the bodies of his loved ones to contain the forbidden creature with difficulty. Fortunately, he kept his life.
The forbidden creature is a product derived from the evil god to pollute the world. Anyone who contains the forbidden creature will be tempted by chaos and madness all the time, lose his mind, become radical, and finally go completely crazy.
The child who had just suffered a huge blow from the death of his relatives could not bear such spiritual inducement at all. And countless people coveted the huge industry of the Marquis's Mansion, trying to form a group to annex and seize the wealth of the sick and orphan, and plundered the last treasure left to him by his relatives.
The five-year-old original owner felt the great malice of the world against him. He was full of hatred for this world, and his heart was full of desires to destroy everything. The anger in his heart could no longer be restrained. He completely became a slave of the taboo object, devouring and killing all the enemies who offended him.
At that time, few people knew that there were such things as forbidden objects in the world, so for a long time, no one cast a suspicious eye on the five-year-old child who was sick all day and couldn't even run freely.
The original owner kept feeding the forbidden objects in his hand, and he became more and more adept at killing people. He used the forbidden objects to control more forbidden objects, and threw himself into the arms of evil, becoming the spokesperson of death and chaos.
The peaceful world quickly fell apart because of his appearance, and everywhere he passed was a doomsday scene.
When he was eighteen years old, only one in a hundred people in the empire remained alive. A strange guy suddenly found him. This person covered his face and did not reveal any information that would expose his identity. He attacked him without warning.
The original owner had experienced countless crusades like this in recent years. At first, he didn't care at all and didn't take it to heart. It was not until after the fight that he found that the opponent's ability was very strange, and it was a completely different power system from the forbidden objects, which caused him to be at a disadvantage throughout the whole process and his ability was suppressed to the limit.
Knowing that he could not defeat his opponent, he decisively chose to self-destruct. The huge evil power gathered in his body swept across the earth and the sky. Countless forbidden objects that could cause death flew to all parts of the world, bringing despair and disaster to people in more places.
The guy with strange powers was alone in the face of such a scene, and could only watch the world fall into a more tragic situation until it was completely swallowed by the evil god.
It can be said that the world will eventually go to destruction, and the original owner accounts for a large part of the "credit".
So after Si Qi suddenly traveled to this world, when his parents and brother took the original owner to the manor to play, he chose to pretend to be sick as soon as he arrived at the manor. Dad and Mom felt very guilty about this, and blamed themselves for taking their little son on such a long journey, causing their son to feel so uncomfortable.
The parents stayed by Si Qi's side all day, carefully watching over him, and did not go to the place where the taboo existed to play.
Until late at night, his "condition" finally stabilized. The two adults and his brother were so tired that they went back to the room to sleep. Si Qi walked out of the room and went all the way to the place where the taboo existed in his memory. He used means to forcibly contain it and threatened it to obey his command.
Taboo objects are all intelligent beings, and they know how to bully the weak and fear the strong. Seeing that the person in front of him knew him so well, even his rules and weaknesses, and that he was so determined that he could not be tempted, he chose to surrender without any backbone.
Then, one man and one object began their road of conquest, killing gods and killing Buddhas. In just a few years, they successively took in dozens of taboo objects that were destined to appear in the future and cause chaos in the world, and saved countless poor people who should have died in those disasters.
However, as time went by, the frequency of taboo objects appeared more and more frequently, and Si Qi alone was no longer able to deal with so many troubles. He began to consciously look for available people, handing them some of the sealed objects that had been contained, and letting them act separately from him to solve problems around the world.
More and more people joined his team and learned the truth about the world being invaded by the evil god. They gradually became a regiment that obeyed orders.
At the same time, more and more people suffered tragedies that they could not let go of in their lives, becoming orphans and vagrants.
After knowing the existence of the regiment, most people joined without hesitation, even though they knew that they could not control the sealed objects with their own strength and could only become an outsider who was not told anything. Even though they knew better than anyone that containing taboo objects often required human lives, and they would face death at all times after joining.
But they didn't care at all.
They simply thought that if they could use their own lives as a price to fight against those things that killed their loved ones, and let these things be imprisoned in a basement without seeing the sun for their entire lives, and never be able to hurt any human beings again, they would be willing to risk their lives to fight those damned things. The adults
joined the legion after screening, and the children with more futures were sent to the welfare homes established by Si Qi, so that they could have a childhood as happy as possible after encountering misfortune.
Those welfare homes that look peaceful and inconspicuous are actually the direct reserve forces of the Temple Legion. The children will not be told the truth. Only a few people with sufficient abilities will be selected. After being assessed, they will be allowed to have a seal and become a member of Si Qi's men, fighting for peace all their lives.
It can be said that this is an organization that does not have any conflicts of interest and exists purely for the purpose of saving the world.
The members of the organization are all over the world, in any field and any class. Perhaps the roadside cleaner and the princess in the palace are all members of the legion, but except for Si Qi and a small number of related people, no one knows their true identities, nor does anyone know that these people with different personalities and seemingly no connection can all sacrifice their lives without hesitation at Si Qi's command, just to create a future for mankind before the end of the world.
Therefore, on Si Qi's eighteenth birthday, the empire that should have been destroyed long ago still existed peacefully. Although the world's population was decreasing rapidly, it was not as devastating as he remembered. It was hard to find a living person.
This was all thanks to Si Qi and the efforts of every member of the Temple Legion.
When Si Qi learned the title of "Son of the World" from the Mirror of Truth, he immediately thought of the guy who killed the original owner. Later, in order to find the whereabouts of the Son of the World, Si Qi searched the entire world, and finally focused on a person he accidentally saw when he was eight years old. At
that time, he was full of vigilance, and every time he was a little free in the dead of night, he would involuntarily think of Chu Feng's appearance. This made him very angry, thinking that Chu Feng was too hateful, but he could not catch Chu Feng using the handle of the taboo.
It was not until later that Si Qi realized that Chu Feng might be the Son of the World. He belatedly speculated that perhaps it was because he had met Chu Feng once in his memory and knew that he was the one who saved the world and ended the life of the original owner, that he was so obsessed with him.
Therefore, until now, Si Qi did not know what his special obsession with Chu Feng was. However, because of the ability that Chu Feng suddenly gained, when he saw that the monster behind Si Qi did not flash when he said "I like him very much", he knew it by surprise.
Of course, even if he knew, he didn't have the courage to say it out loud now...
After he realized that the army commander liked him, Chu Feng's body tensed up, thinking that this was "that" emotion that every "executor" would have towards him, and he didn't welcome the army commander to do this and that to him and then tear him apart and swallow him up.
So he looked at Chu Feng and said nothing.
Si Qi glanced at Chu Feng and was sure that Chu Feng would not leave the welfare home casually in order to build a good relationship with him, the son of the marquis, so he felt at ease leaving Chu Feng here to take care of the children, and called Igor to accompany him to continue to handle the work.
Igor is one of the few people who has known him for a long time and knows his true identity. Si Qi has entrusted many things that are inconvenient for others to solve to Igor. He is a subordinate that Si Qi trusts very much.
"Senator Will's recent actions are very unusual." Igor said to Si Qi: "He secretly sent people to search for homeless people and orphans everywhere, and everyone who was sent to his backyard eventually disappeared."
Si Qi: "What is your guess?"
Igor: "If it is torture or other fetishes, there will at least be corpses, but there are no traces left in the backyard."
Si Qi nodded: "Send someone to contact him. If it is a taboo, take it in directly. If not, throw it away. Leave it to Congress and let them handle it themselves - tell this to my eldest brother, he just wants to kick this guy out of office."
Igor knew how much Si Qi cared about his family, and was happy to handle this matter personally, because this might make Si Qi like him more: "Okay, young master, I will handle this matter myself."
Si Qi really glanced at Igor, and his tone softened from the usual cold and businesslike tone. He smiled lightly and said, "You are always so worry-free."
"It is my honor to serve you," Igor looked at Si Qi tenderly, and said softly, "Your will is the direction of all of us."
...
As a genuine orphan who walked out of the orphanage, Igor had a little contact with the people there and soon became their target. He was knocked unconscious and kidnapped and sent to a villa in the suburbs at night.
After arriving at the villa after falling into a coma, he suddenly jumped up and knocked out the kidnappers. After searching the backyard where innocent homeless people and orphans were imprisoned, he did not find many clues, so he sneaked into the bedroom of the councillor in the main building.
The councillor, who was awakened from his sleep, was quickly exposed when he saw the figure suddenly appearing beside his bed. He took out a cigarette lighter from under his pillow and tried to put it into his mouth, but was kicked away by Igor. His fat body hit the wall heavily, making a loud noise, but it did not alarm the guards in the villa at all.
The congressman groaned in pain and roared angrily: "Who are you!"
Igor grabbed the smoke wrench in mid-air, played with it in his palm, and said slowly: "Temple Knights."
The congressman opposite had obviously heard of this prestigious organization. His face was full of fear and his voice trembled: "I, I didn't..."
Igor interrupted him, "Tell me how to use this forbidden object. I don't think you want to know what the price of lying to me will be..."
"I don't know what taboo is, ah ah ah--!!!"
The congressman's pupils shrank as he looked at the broken fingers that suddenly fell off his palm, howling heartbreakingly.
Even though he had personally witnessed many times that forbidden objects devoured people and displayed mysterious powers, he always collapsed when similar things happened to him.
Igor smiled and looked as gentle and friendly as ever, as if he was talking to a good friend. He leaned back on the sofa and said to the councillor, "Where did you get this forbidden object?"
"I, I..." Beads of sweat slid down his round, fat face. The councillor looked at the young man with fear on his face. He habitually tried to cunningly argue, but was afraid of the power of the other party's "rules", so he cunningly chose to remain silent.
Seeing this, Igor was not in a hurry at all. He knew that the power of the seal in his heart could make anyone open their mouths and answer questions involuntarily after hearing the question.
Soon, the congressman's face, which originally concealed a cunning look, slowly changed. He felt the urge to confess in disbelief and covered his mouth in horror and said quickly: "It's the Church of Omniscience! They gave me this holy object!"
"Mr. Congressman, is this how you repay our kindness? It's really disappointing." A voice suddenly rang out in the house, startling the two people present.
Without saying a word, Igor took out the sealed object and attacked back, but his body fell into a state of stiffness first. He watched the figure in the black robe approaching step by step, and sighed to him with a relieved tone: "I never thought that a mere congressman could catch such a big fish. I know you, 'Mr. Honesty'. The holy object in your hand made countless of our believers betray the faith of God and leak the intelligence of the church. I never thought that I could meet you on such a beautiful night. This must be the guidance given to us by the great gods."
Igor's face was tense and his heart sank slowly.
The man did the most cruel thing with the most compassionate tone. He took out a knife and used the sharp blade to casually pick open the cigarette that Igor was holding tightly in his palm. Blood and minced meat fell to the ground, and the official opposite felt indescribably happy.
He reached out his hand and searched Igor's body repeatedly, and finally found something that looked like a taboo.
This was a very common gavel in the court. It was small and looked particularly majestic and solemn. After staring at it for a long time, people would involuntarily feel heavy and start to repeatedly recall the various mistakes they had made in their lives.
The man touched the sealed object with cherishment and desire, as if he was touching the delicate skin of a beauty, and said to Igor: "Okay, Mr. Honesty. Next, it's time to accept the trial. Please maintain your good habit of honesty and tell me who is the commander of the Temple Knights..."
Igor had no expression on his face.
He knew the effect of the gavel better than anyone else. It could force people to tell the answer in their hearts within fourteen seconds when facing questions.
If one wanted to avoid the problem, there were undoubtedly only two solutions. One was to fall into a state of death in advance, and the other was to lie.
The man opposite him would obviously not be so kind as to let him die easily. Even if he only had one breath left, the other party would find ways to keep him alive until all the useful information in his brain was squeezed out.
So, Igor took a deep breath and said, "I don't know."
Plop, lightly, so light that it seemed like just the sound of an egg accidentally falling to the ground.
The official stood aside, covering his heart-wrenching broken finger with a pale face. Seeing the young man's finger suddenly fall without blinking, he was filled with anger.
The calmer Igor was, the angrier he became. He wanted to see the guy who had humiliated him so much wail miserably and let him suffer the most painful torture in the world. He said quickly, "Who ordered you to come and trouble me!"
Igor: "I don't know."
The official was about to ask again, but the man saw that something was wrong and said angrily, "Shut up! Do you want to die?"
Igor smiled brilliantly, and this bright and sunny smile made the official feel cold and unspeakably scared.
Igor said happily, "I didn't."
The price of lying is cumulative. Those who offend the majesty of the court will be charged with multiple crimes and punished more and more severely because of the number of lies they tell.
The first lie was about one finger, the second lie was about two fingers, and the third lie was about a whole arm.
A slender arm fell from the air and hit the ground. The blood that should have gushed out wildly was sealed at the broken arm by a strange force, without a trace of leakage.
The court will only punish the prisoners, but will not let the prisoners die on the spot, so no matter how much torture they suffer, death will only come after the trial is over.
But if he lost his tongue, his throat, and all the organs that could leak information, Igor would no longer have to worry about betraying the god in his heart.
The man saw what Igor was planning, and he was so angry that he didn't even dare to ask Igor any more questions, which would only make the other party succeed.
The officials who hated Igor didn't think as much as he did.
He hated and feared this young man. Just seeing the smile on Igor's face made him feel indescribable fear. He roared in a panic: "Do you think you will be fine if you die? I will find the person you care about the most, torture him, kill him, and make you unable to rest in peace even in hell!"
Igor chuckled, laughing very happily: "I don't have anyone I care about the most."
The official looked at Igor with fear as he suddenly lost all his skin and stood there like a demon. This look made people dare not look directly at him. He said with a trembling voice: "You are lying!"
Damn, doesn't this guy feel any pain? He was almost going crazy because he just lost a finger!
Igor seemed to have found a shortcut because of this sentence, and said quickly: "I am not lying, I am cruel, I am barbaric, I hate this world, I hate everything beautiful, I have abandoned my faith, I don't like-"
Before he could finish the last sentence, the man looked at Igor who was suddenly decomposed by the invisible force with a sullen face, and was so angry that his whole body was shaking.
The congressman stood there in a daze, with an indescribable emotion filling his heart. But he didn't dare to look at it. Instead, he forced himself to laugh out loud and said excitedly: "Great! I'll feed his flesh and blood to the dogs and throw his head into the church of the Knights Templar, so that everyone will know the consequences of offending us!"
"Shut up!" The man glared at the councillor. The holy object in his palm was shaking constantly because of the boy's experience. He showed obvious resistance to him, which made him very angry.
"The commander of the temple army is vindictive. Do you want him to massacre the whole city because of this man?" The man said angrily, "Pick up his body and send it back. This will at least quench his anger."
The councillor was incredulous, "You are so cowardly!"
The man sneered and looked at the councillor as if he was looking at a dead person. He said sympathetically, "You will soon know why I did this."
The councillor shuddered.
Si Qi received a bloody corpse.
It was called a bloody corpse, but in fact, the other party only had a skinny skeleton and muscles that barely maintained a human form. The empty abdomen was sunken, and the dirty organs, skin, and limbs were all neatly placed aside. Even the executor who had seen many horror scenes couldn't help but feel his stomach churning when he saw this scene. It was unbearable, and he turned his head away and dared not look any more.
Si Qi recognized who the other person was at a glance.
Memories of the other person kept flooding into his mind. Si Qi walked step by step to the table full of blood, stretched out his hand to touch the arm that fell first and whose skin was still intact, and held it tightly.
He didn't dare to imagine how much pain the other person had endured.
What is even more difficult to accept is that the executor said to Si Qi: "...He is still alive."
Although he has lost all his organs and blood, and there is no condition to support a person to continue living, he is still alive, enduring immense pain and living in an inhuman form.
Si Qi's tone was devoid of emotion: "Where is the seal on him?"
The executor: "It's gone."
Si Qi's eyes were cold. He understood why Igor had fallen into this situation, and why Igor was still alive.
Because the trial was not over yet.
"Use Sealing Object B-31 to stop his time and preserve his body."
"Yes, sir."
"Notify the Congress that all members must arrive on time at 7 o'clock tonight. I have something to show them." Si Qi said calmly: "Two more people come over here and move the body for me."
The executor understood.
Chu Feng saw Si Qi again in the evening of the second day after leaving the welfare home.
The calm boy looked no different from usual, but the bloody smell that filled his body made Chu Feng couldn't help but think about what he had done not long ago and why he had so much lingering blood on his body.
What made Chu Feng even more uneasy was that the monster, which had been so quiet as a sleeping dragon, was now emitting a dark aura. Its bloodthirsty and violent appearance made it easy for anyone who saw it to sense its anger. It kept roaring and screaming, and its roars were mixed with invisible sorrow, which made people feel uncomfortable.
Chu Feng saw that this monster could express such rich emotions, and he suddenly realized that perhaps the things floating behind each person were the embodiment of their souls. Ordinary people are originally light white, polluters are polluted and turbid light black, executors who have mastered the seals and whose souls are almost integrated with the seals are condensed darkness, and the man in front of him...
He seems to be too deeply involved in the realm over there, and has turned himself into a demon, silently guarding this world that has long been incompatible with him.
At this moment, the demon is roaring in anger. What unbearable things have he encountered, so he has become like this?
Chu Xun stared at the boy, and the boy smiled at him: "Brother Chu, it's so late and you haven't rested yet."
Chu Xun carefully distinguished the boy's expression. There was not a trace of flaw in his expression. The mask on his face had long been integrated into his bones and blood, making it impossible for him to show his true self. Only the depths of his pupils were numb and deep, which made Chu Feng, who knew the truth, feel very distressed.
For a moment, an indescribable impulse rose in Chu Feng's chest. He walked to the boy and hugged him gently, trying to comfort him through his actions, and said to him: "Are you okay? You look in pain."
The boy rarely showed a stunned expression, and quietly leaned in Chu Feng's arms, indulging himself in a brief escape. After a moment, he chuckled and said, "Brother, what are you talking about? I'm fine!"
Chu Feng didn't know how to explain: "But..."
"What are you doing?!" An angry voice exploded from above the stairs, and Si Qi's eldest brother roared, "Let go of my brother!"
Chu Feng could only let go of his hand and explained hastily, "I..."
"I was a little dizzy just now, and brother Chu supported me." Si Qi raised his head and said to his eldest brother, "Brother, where are you going?"
After hearing the explanation, the eldest brother couldn't help showing a hint of joy, and smiled, "Something happened in Congress, and brother has to go deal with it."
"Brother, you have worked hard, be careful on the road." Si Qi said sensibly.
"Good boy." The young man couldn't help but caress the boy's head lovingly, and looked at Chu Feng warily, without any apology in his tone: "I'm sorry for what happened just now, Mr. Chu."
Chu Feng: "...It's okay."
Thinking carefully, his behavior just now was indeed abrupt.
It's easy to reveal something. The monster behind the boy not only didn't get comforted at this moment, but stared at him with a more terrifying look. The feeling of being noticed by the beast made Chu Feng's pressure doubled, and he didn't have time to care about the threat of this powerful young man.
He didn't think of this incident until late at night. At this time, the young man came back in a car, and his men followed behind him. The group was extremely excited.
Chu Feng had good hearing, and he could hear their conversation in the study downstairs even if he didn't want to listen.
"Haha, Will died tragically. It is said that his hollow skeleton was hung in the Capitol Hall for everyone to see! Did anyone notice the expression on his head? Tsk tsk tsk... I really don't know what kind of horrible thing he encountered before he died!"
"Who is so powerful that he can summon all the congressmen at such a late time? Well, no matter who it is, we have to thank him!"
"After Will's death, Mr. Si will be able to take office smoothly!"
A group of people talked about it. Chu Feng turned over in bed, wondering if the eldest son of the Marquis's family was promoted so quickly because of the help of the legionnaires. Could it be that the legionnaires were responsible for this terrorist incident?
Then a familiar bloody smell followed the night wind outside the window and attacked his back. His body tensed up, and just as he was about to speak, his eyes and body were tightly covered by a pair of hands, and a hoarse and low voice sounded: "Don't move."
It was Si Qi.
Chu Feng's originally tense mood relaxed instantly, and he whispered: "...Is it the person who saved me last time?"
The person behind him didn't say anything.
Chu Feng: "I remember your voice."
The person behind him slowly hummed.
Chu Feng asked in a tone as relaxed as possible: "What happened?"
"..."
Deathly silent.
The other person just hugged him tightly and buried his head in his shoulder. After a long time, he said, "What kind of power do you have?"
Why did he feel at ease? Just seeing it made him relax uncontrollably and subconsciously want to rely on it.
This power was too terrifying. Si Qi, who always habitually detached every emotion from himself, analyzed it carefully, thought rationally, and was afraid of being plotted against with taboo objects, was very uneasy about this.
He didn't want to indulge his feelings, but he longed for touch from the bottom of his heart.
Especially when he almost lost an important partner just now.
Chu Xun hesitated: "I don't know what power I have..." It seems that his vision and hearing have just become better than before.
This explanation was too pale. Fortunately, the person behind him didn't seem to mind his little thoughts. He just hugged him quietly, not letting him move or open his eyes. He controlled everything domineeringly and powerfully, as if only in this way could he get a sense of security.
Chu Feng thought for a while and said, "But I want to help you."
Si Qi moved slightly.
When Chu Feng said this, he didn't think he could help much. He thought he was just an insignificant little character and could only do so much.
However, Si Qi didn't think so. He remembered the intelligence he had interrogated from the councillor and knew that the person who almost killed his friend was the Omniscient Church. He also remembered the extraordinary interest that the Omniscient Church had shown in Chu Feng a few days ago, as well as Chu Feng's identity as the "Son of the World."
Therefore, this cold-blooded army commander said, "Stay by my side from tomorrow on."
Chu Feng's heart first tensed up, and then slowly relaxed. The heavy feeling suddenly disappeared, as if he had completely let go of something that had been blocking his heart for a long time.
After a moment, he pursed his lips and said a little embarrassedly, "Then... can you let me go? I won't run away."
Being hugged tightly from behind by a man on the bed is really not a particularly pleasant experience for another man.
Si Qi tightened his hands and said coldly, "You are not qualified to negotiate with me."
"...Okay then."
Chu Feng said dryly.
As he spoke, he looked at the boy's soul showing a comfortable and enjoyable expression, and wrapped him in his arms with his wings, like a dragon holding a precious treasure. He was not ferocious at all, but a little cute, which made him almost not afraid.
Until the next morning, the cold and domineering army commander did not let Chu Feng go, and borrowed him as a pillow for a whole night.
After dawn, the door of the guest room was knocked. The army commander stood in the blind spot of the room. The boy with a sweet smile stood at the door of the room and said to Chu Feng who opened the door: "Brother Chu, it's time to have breakfast."
Chu Feng looked at this face and was confused for a moment. He smiled and said yes. After closing the door, he said to the army commander who was standing beside him with his hands on his shoulders: "This is the young master who took me in. His name is Si Qi."
Si Qi did not respond coldly.
Seeing the attitude of the army commander, Chu Feng remembered the revenge of sleeping with him last night and said: "He is very cute, isn't he?"
