"Brother Si Qi, what's wrong with you?"
"Come and play with Jira~"
The little girl blinked her bright eyes and pulled Si Qi's sleeve affectionately.
Si Qi gently stroked the children's heads, with a cold look brewing in his dark eyes.
A handsome teenager with a fair face noticed Si Qi's subtle changes. He walked up with a warm smile and said, "Okay, kids, the young master is not in good health. It's time to rest after playing with you for so long."
The children were very sensible. They looked up at Si Qi's pale face, and obediently let go of Si Qi's clothes and said to him, "Brother, you should have a good rest and take care of yourself!"
Si Qi smiled and waved goodbye to the children. Accompanied by the boy, he left the green lawn and returned to the dark place where the building blocked the sunlight.
The two looked at the children running and laughing in the sun. The boy said to Si Qi, "My lord, what happened?"
The boy was a useful person selected by Si Qi's men from the welfare home. His name was Igor. He has his merits in wisdom, character, and courage. He is also one of the few people who are allowed to know Si Qi's true identity and protect him closely.
Si Qi: "I was attacked."
Igor's face changed, and he said nervously: "Are you okay? I didn't notice it at all!"
Si Qi frowned: "No, I didn't either..." This is what bothered him the most.
The astonishment on Igor's face became more and more obvious.
It was already surprising that Si Qi was attacked in private life. This suggested that the enemy might have noticed Si Qi's true identity and even found Si Qi himself.
But what made Igor feel even more incomprehensible was that such a powerful person, so powerful that people could only look up to him, could not detect the source of the attack. This was simply incredible.
Si Qi asked Igor to leave and go look after the children in the orphanage. He put on a mask and changed his clothes. He called two men to accompany him and walked from the orphanage to the nearby chapel. With the gentle and loving smile of the priest in the church, he opened the secret door in the church and walked all the way to the winding dark passage.
The dark passage was so dark that not even a trace of light could be seen, but the three people walked without any obstacles. They passed through countless levels with hidden murderous intentions quietly, and used dozens of methods to open the secret doors one after another. Finally, they came to a place where various items were sealed with various doors, boxes or water bottles.
This place is as wide and huge as a large shopping mall, divided into several floors. No matter who comes to see it, the decoration and furnishings will only feel extremely weird. Because some places here are covered with layers of black cloth, not daring to let in a single ray of light; some places use lights to illuminate 360 degrees 24 hours a day, absolutely not daring to leave the slightest shadow; and some places do not have any items related to the concept of "doors". They are stored in a completely closed room with a length, width and height of 6.66 meters, and not even a wisp of dust can float in.
This place is like the world in a madman's mind, full of weirdness, absurdity, and incomprehensibility.
The two men following behind Si Qi became more serious and alert since they approached this place, their eyes were full of tension and even fear.
However, despite their extreme fear, they also guarded closely beside Si Qi, not daring to be more than one meter away from him. The three of them walked all the way to a place on the third underground floor. The fear on the faces of the other two men became more and more obvious. They followed Si Qi closely, as if the air outside was filled with invisible poisonous gas, and they would die without a burial place if they got even a little closer.
The three of them formed an equilateral triangle and walked step by step to a dark mirror somewhere. Si Qi's expressionless face looked sharp and dangerous, and there was no trace of the gentleness he had when he played with the children in the sun before.
He spread his fingertips and smeared blood on the mirror. The dark in the mirror was stirred by the blood like a rolling quagmire, and finally a scene that made the two men behind him tremble with fear emerged.
In front of them, where their legion leader should have been standing, there stood a dangerous and strange monster like a demon. This monster exuded a dark aura all over his body, and his blood-red pupils were like the crystallization of a nightmare. What his body looked like, the two people did not have the courage to see clearly, they only knew that this was definitely the most terrifying existence that humans could imagine. Just one look at it made them feel indescribable terror sweeping over their bodies, making their bodies tremble and shake uncontrollably, almost fainting.
Instinct told them to run away quickly, but reason made them keep their legs firmly fixed on the spot, not daring to move away.
Because the rule of this mirror is that any living creatures that are illuminated by it must be three in number and the distance must not exceed one meter. If there are more than three, the mirror will randomly kill the extra living creatures; if the distance exceeds one meter, all living creatures will die.
This is also the reason why Si Qi brought them here, Si Qi alone cannot awaken this seal.
Si Qi said to the sealed object named "Mirror of Truth": "I was attacked just now and something changed."
He did not use the word "hurt" to describe what he had just experienced, but used "changed" because the sealed object in front of him would be very cunning and deliberately ignore the troubles such as "surveillance" and "curse of bad luck" and answer him "nothing."
How to trade with the intelligent sealed object, Si Qi already has enough experience in this.
The mirror moved, and used Si Qi's blood to form a line of words on the mirror: "No attack."
Si Qi frowned slightly, cut a new wound, and smeared a layer of blood on it: "What is the source of the voice I heard?"
Mirror: "No sound."
Si Qi's expression became very ugly.
Seals have their own rules, and as long as they comply with the rules they set, then the seals will not lie.
Si Qi was sure that he could not have heard wrongly, so the power of the rules of the attack just now was far above that of the S-level seals, and even the Mirror of Truth could not see through it.
Knowing that he could not get the answer he wanted from the Mirror of Truth, Si Qi turned around and left ruthlessly, and his men followed closely.
The mirror absorbed this rare blood with regret. Since he was sealed by the human just now, he has not been able to enjoy the taste of death and blood for a long time.
Fortunately, the cost of answering his questions was not high, so compared to the group of unlucky seals around him, this human would still come to use him every now and then and let him taste the deliciousness.
The door was closed, blocking the instant killing intent, and the two men's tense muscles slowly relaxed, and they quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
They subconsciously did not dare to recall the "true face" of their own army commander. Although they knew that the army commander who could easily use the major seals must be extremely powerful, they would still feel creepy and fearful if they looked at him directly.
Of course, there was more enthusiasm and admiration than fear.
They did not ask Si Qi about the "voice" just now, knowing that if their own army commander could not solve the problem, it would be even more impossible for them to solve it.
He turned to Si Qi and said, "The man you asked us to pay attention to will arrive in the imperial capital at 7 o'clock tonight."
Si Qi said "hmm" with an unrecognizable tone, "Protect him."
"Yes." The person standing on Si Qi's left responded, turned around and saw Si Qi's pale and indifferent profile, was silent for a few seconds, and suddenly laughed neurotically: "Why is the army commander so concerned about this guy? I went to see him before, and found that apart from his okay looks, he is just an ordinary person."
The person standing on Si Qi's right knew that this guy had just been under pressure and couldn't control his emotions and started to go crazy again, and couldn't help frowning: "Wake up."
The man laughed twice and said, "What's the matter, I'm just curious~"
The members who come into contact with taboo objects every day and have to bear invisible pressure all the time, are basically in an abnormal mental state.
Some of them were deeply shocked because they witnessed the forbidden objects killing their relatives and friends. They lived in the shadow all the time and could not get out of it for the rest of their lives.
Some of them barely got out of it. After confirming that they were useful, they were absorbed into the army and became a member of Si Qi's men. Then they were constantly sent out to seal the forbidden objects, taking the risk of being killed by the rules of death at any time and anywhere, to bring the forbidden objects that randomly appeared all over the world back to the underground to seal them.
Almost every time the members went on a mission, they might see all kinds of bizarre and strange death scenes, either the death of their teammates or themselves. If
this kind of life continued for a long time, even normal people would have gone crazy.
This subordinate of Si Qi is like this. When he was young, he witnessed an entire city of people being bewitched by taboos, and tens of thousands of people frantically devouring, biting and killing their former relatives and friends. He barely survived in such a city for half a month. After being rescued by Si Qi from such a hellish world, he joined the army at the invitation of Si Qi's subordinates.
Wanting to join the army to help more poor people like him is one thing, and never being able to return to the peaceful world that once was, hoping to find more companions with the same experience is another.
At first, he just wanted to get a redemption, but after years of witnessing countless teammates die one after another, he gradually became a little insane. Occasionally, he would do some crazy and unacceptable things in the eyes of ordinary people, including but not limited to investigating the family information of a passerby who accidentally stepped on his foot, tying him up from the bed in the middle of the night and throwing him onto the street where he stepped on his foot before, and asking him to apologize; or suddenly going crazy when seeing the flowing water, recklessly lighting torches to burn all the houses around, and determined that only in this way would they not be sucked dry by the water.
All of these are sequelae of the strong psychological shadow left by witnessing all kinds of weird death rules when sealing the taboo.
Si Qi had always been very tolerant of this group of crazy subordinates. He ignored this subordinate who suddenly went crazy and showed a strong interest in Chu Feng, and said lightly: "This is not something you should know. Protect him at any cost, understand?"
The subordinate's eyes rolled around, nodded and said, "I know."
Then, this subordinate who was full of loyalty to Si Qi and said seriously that he knew, when Si Qi saw him next time, only an incomplete corpse was left.
It was already late at night. Si Qi changed into pajamas under the instructions of his parents and lay obediently on the soft bed. In the glass wall lamp surrounded by black iron bars, the fire was extinguished, and the moonlight fell into the room from the window. A black shadow fell on the carpet along with the moonlight.
Si Qi heard a dull plop and saw that it was the severed arm.
The severed arm struggled to crawl to Si Qi, and sniffed Si Qi's scent with his fingers as if it were the tip of his nose. After confirming that he had found the right person, he stopped, raised his palm, and a mouth opened in the palm of his hand, saying to Si Qi: "Captain."
Si Qi got up and changed his clothes, and asked him: "What happened?"
"The mission failed, everyone died, and the taboo was taken away. You need to take action."
Si Qi said nothing, raised his arm, turned over the balcony and left the villa.
A moment later, a boy with the same figure and voice as Si Qi came out from the compartment of the room, used the seal to temporarily change his appearance, and replaced Si Qi and returned to the bed.
In the perception of the members of the Legion, wild objects with strange powers but whose rules of power have not been fully understood are all called taboo objects, and those that have been taken in by humans and mastered the rules of death are called sealed objects.
If someone who knows what's going on takes a look at Si Qi at this moment, he will find that this boy who smiled and looked extremely well-behaved and docile during the day is now covered with traces of sealed objects from head to toe. It is already very difficult for a normal person to control even one sealed object, but Si Qi perfectly controls more than 20 sealed objects that can be replaced at any time, which will definitely shock all those who know about it.
Si Qi picked up a mask to cover his face, and put on a cloak that can hide most of the traces of existence. His aura instantly became eerie and cold, like a blade unsheathed.
No one could connect him with the gentle and amiable sickly boy during the day. At this moment, he was the leader of the Temple Knights familiar to all those who knew him, the cold-blooded, cruel, and fierce god of death who was enough to scare all enemies.
Following the severed arm of this subordinate and leaving the villa, the two merged into the shadows of the night without making any sound.
The subordinate said to Si Qi, "We have a total of forty-six members this time. After paying the price of twenty-four people, we have initially mastered the rules of this taboo." He pointed to the two bloody holes on the mouth in the palm of his hand, "This time, the taboo does not allow looking at each other, listening, or sensing. After we tried to dig out their eyes, the dozen or so people closest to them still died directly because they heard the sound. Four people were deafened and were about to get closer, but were ambushed by a group of people when they were about to be taken in. There were at least fifteen people on the other side, and all the members except me were killed. They should have used the forbidden object A-68. I smell the scent of blue wind chimes."
Si Qi said in a cold tone: "The Church of Omniscience."
"It's them." The subordinate agreed with Si Qi's inference.
In a conflict a few years ago, a folk cult organization that called itself the Church of Omniscience used the forbidden item A-68 to clash with the Knights of the Temple. At that time, a forbidden item that left the scent of blue wind bells appeared in the records, killing at least 20 members of the Knights of the Temple. At this time, Si Qi and his men quickly associated it.
The men took Si Qi to the place where the conflict occurred. Corpses with deep sunken eyes fell to the ground powerlessly, and blood flowed all over the ground.
Si Qi has a good memory. He can remember the name of each member, their origins, and even the smiles they showed when they saw him and every word they said to him.
But at this moment, he just looked at everyone quietly, turned his eyes away after a moment, and used the seal to follow the direction the crowd left.
Broken Arm crawled to the road, joined a young man who had lost his arms and eyes, and then stood up and followed Si Qi.
In Si Qi's vision, the footprints of the enemies running hurriedly were clearly visible, all leaving in the same direction. The intervals between the footsteps were very large and irregular, indicating that they were all running in a hurry when they left, and they were always alert to the situation behind them.
Si Qi grabbed the subordinate who followed him with one hand, and the cloak behind him moved automatically without wind, directly sending Si Qi and his subordinates into the air and landing on the eaves. The figure ran like a cheetah in the city at night. His breath, smell, and the sound of his footsteps on the roof were all absorbed and covered by the cloak. In the blink of an eye, he approached the team of more than ten people who had escaped for several minutes. In the eyes of their eyes, he landed in front of them and blocked their way.
The team that was originally running fast split into four groups without hesitation when Si Qi appeared. No one would be stupid enough to choose to fight Si Qi. Each team carried something wrapped in black cloth, making it difficult to tell who was the one who stole the taboo.
But it didn't matter.
Si Qi didn't even look at the group of guys who reacted very quickly. The moment his men rushed to his back and pressed tightly against his back, a cold light flashed in the night sky, instantly cutting through all living things within a radius of ten meters, including the four packages in their hands.
The bodies were all broken into two pieces at the same time. Three of the packages were cut by the silver light and fell to the ground, turning into two halves with extremely smooth cross-sections. The last one was about to fall to the ground with a slight "clang" sound. The men who lost their sight were completely unaware that death was about to come. Si Qi flicked the silent bell hanging on his waist, and the space within one meter around him instantly lost all sound, and returned to the world of sound again after a moment.
After landing, the subordinate was very alert and hid behind Si Qi. It took only two seconds before he heard a series of "thumps". He waited for another second and confirmed that all the enemies were dead. He walked out from behind Si Qi with no surprise on his face.
He knew that the enemy that could wipe out their team could not even last three seconds under the hands of the legion commander.
Si Qi picked up the thing wrapped in black cloth and was about to send it to the basement where many taboos were sealed to record the complete content of this action and the rules of death. Suddenly, a familiar breath burst out in the distance. It was the breath of the seal, and the one who possessed this powerful seal was the subordinate he sent to protect "that person"!
Si Qi put away the newly acquired seal, leaving behind his innocent-looking subordinate standing there at a loss, and quickly rushed to the place where the seal's aura was emitting.
He crossed half of the city in a dozen seconds, from the quiet residential area to the brightly lit commercial area at night, and saw with his own eyes the scene of the monster swallowing half of his subordinate's body in one bite, and his breathing stopped for a moment.
He cut off the monster's head with a sword, and his light body and the monster's falling body touched the ground almost at the same time. Si Qi stretched out his hand and grabbed the subordinate's remains from the monster's mouth.
After the subordinate opened his eyes and confirmed Si Qi's identity, his first reaction was to stuff the seals on his body into Si Qi's arms, and then tried his best to report his last mission in this life: "Area A Margaret..."
He couldn't even finish the sentence, and his crazy and lively eyes fell into a dark state, and his face still remained loyal and enthusiastic.
Si Qi gently put him back in a secret corner, waiting for other subordinates to come and collect the body, and put away the two seals with a cold face.
The subordinates will tell him everything about Chu Feng in detail, and Si Qi only needs to think about it for a moment to know Chu Feng's whereabouts - that is Room 1127 of Margaret Hotel in Area A.
He flew directly to the eleventh floor of the hotel and forcibly broke the window outside the high-rise room. He saw that the room was in a mess due to a strange force. Blood and feathers from the pillow filled the room, but there was no sign of Chu Feng.
Si Qi's expression became more gloomy. He picked up the communicator and notified his men lurking in various parts of the city, telling them to find Chu Feng's whereabouts as soon as possible.
A minute later, a team found that Chu Feng was being chased by a strange taboo. Si Qi quickly rushed to that place. His men who had already investigated the preliminary situation said to Si Qi: "The forbidden object this time is very strange. It will split into monsters to attack anyone who tries to approach it, and it will not stop until the death. However, it shows an unusual interest in the young man in front and keeps chasing him, but it does not really harm him. We have not yet mastered its specific rules."
If messing up a person's room, chasing a person all the way through several streets and almost killing him several times is not considered harm, then this forbidden object is indeed showing unusual friendliness to Chu Feng.
The men that Si Qi sent to protect Chu Feng were probably accidentally injured by this forbidden object... In order not to implicate Chu Feng, the men tried their best to run to a place far away from the hotel and used the seal to fight the monster, but they still died after a short time.
Si Qi considered the strength of the men who were sent to protect Chu Feng, as well as the strength of the ordinary members in the surrounding area, and determined that these people would only die in vain even if they came, so he ordered: "Let the people nearby keep a safe distance and wait for my order."
"Yes!"
Hearing the order, the men acted quickly. Si Qi flew to Chu Feng who was escaping from the wolf. This young man who had lived in peace and prosperity for most of his life probably encountered such a weird and terrifying thing for the first time. When he first saw the black-robed figure falling from the sky, he almost thought it was another scary thing.
As a result, this slender figure, probably a man, suddenly collided head-on with the monster. Chu Feng watched the scene in front of him with a very fast heartbeat. Later he realized that the other party was probably coming to save him.
He was hesitating whether to take the opportunity to escape and seek help from the nearby sheriff; or stay and help this lifesaver. The figure that was blocking him was suddenly smashed by the monster and flew behind him. Under Chu Feng's dumbfounded gaze, the street lamp on the side of the road, which was as thick as his thigh, was bent at 90 degrees and fell to the ground.
——This man might have been smashed to death!
Chu Feng rushed over and wanted to help his savior up. Then he saw a masked head raised up, stretched out his hand and grabbed him behind him, and then the two of them were smashed into the air by a huge force. Chu Feng was completely stunned.
Things happened too fast, and he, an ordinary big businessman, couldn't react at all. He seemed to smell the smell of blood on the other person, but he couldn't tell where the man was injured because of his dark clothes. All he heard was the other party's low, hoarse voice, which was full of anger, and he shouted at him: "Get away!"
Then he was sent back to the ground by the other party with a gentle force that was completely inconsistent with the tone of the other party's voice. He watched helplessly as the other party once again fought with the terrifying monster.
The subordinates hiding hundreds of meters away looked apprehensive.
"The commander of the legion could have just dodged it, why did he protect this guy so much? He even blocked all the damage for him!"
"That monster is so powerful! It can even knock the army commander away!"
"Wait, the army commander asked us to block all five senses!!"
Noticing Si Qi's gesture, even though they were in a dangerous battlefield, everyone closed their eyes and blocked their ears without hesitation to block their breathing, and buried their heads in their thighs.
Si Qi looked at the idiot who refused to leave and rushed to Chu Xun, blocking his vision with his cloak, throwing out the invisible and inaudible containment that he had just contained, and throwing him in front of the monster.
As a result, the moment he turned around, he clearly caught a glimpse of the moment when the black cloth was about to fall apart, and the monster rushed straight towards the seal without stopping, not caring about the threat of the seal at all!
What? How could there be an existence with a higher rule level than "S-level invisible"!
Si Qi shook the mute bell and saw the sealed object dissipate into ashes after falling to the ground, completely becoming a dead object, and his lips were slightly pursed.
He turned his head to look at Chu Feng, who was at a loss as to what had happened. He didn't understand what kind of terrifying existence this guy had attracted. But no matter how dangerous this taboo was, he would never let Chu Feng die. He could only draw out the sealed sword at his waist and rush up to fight the monster again.
When the deputy army commander and others arrived, they saw their army commander fighting the taboo so fiercely. Seeing the army commander becoming more and more bloodthirsty and crazy, even the deputy army commander did not dare to approach Si Qi at this time - let alone go up to help, they might even be killed by Si Qi as enemies!
This is the price that must be paid for using a large number of sealed objects for a long time, losing rationality and becoming a slave driven by taboo objects.
It was the young man who had been hiding behind the electric pole and cautiously poking his head out to observe the situation...
The deputy army commander recognized Chu Feng's appearance and said in surprise: "Why is he here?"
His subordinates quickly told him the whole story. The deputy army commander had a strange expression on his face and thought to himself: "The commander likes this good-looking but useless pretty boy so much that he believes he is the son of the world?"
