After leaving Mumu to bandage Si Xiaonan's wound, Lin Qiye walked straight out of the room, closed the door, and leaned against the wall. After a long time, he sighed helplessly.

Si Xiaonan’s actions just now appeared in his mind, and he was a little dazed for a moment.

Lin Qiye had only seen that level of stress response in frightened stray cats. The more insecure and vulnerable a cat is, the stronger its reaction will be when exposed to external stimuli. At the moment when Si Xiaonan stabbed his neck with a knife, he saw helplessness and stubbornness in Si Xiaonan's eyes.

Si Xiaonan, who is well-behaved and obedient in Cangnan City, and silently supports everyone; Si Xiaonan, who uses tricks to deceive everyone in the fog, and is ruthless and decisive; and Si Xiaonan, who seems strong but is fragile at heart... Which one is the real her?

Or maybe, neither?

Lin Qiye couldn't tell the difference anymore.

Lin Qiye remembered that the last time they met was in the Alchemy Palace of Kunlun Xu.

If Si Xiaonan's words about the green red spider lily had not brought back his memories, he would not have let Si Xiaonan leave. After all, even if Si Xiaonan had become the agent of the God of Trickery standing on the opposite side of Da Xia, deep down in his heart, Lin Qiye still didn't want to believe that the well-behaved and lovely Si Xiaonan from Team 136 was a traitor.

The existence of the memorial further confirms this.

Just when Lin Qiye was daydreaming, the door behind him opened, and a round, bandaged head poked out from the crack of the door, babbling something to Lin Qiye.

"Thank you for your hard work, Mumu." Lin Qiye touched its head, turned around and walked into the house.

Si Xiaonan had already put on his clothes and was sitting by the window. His pale face finally regained some color.

"Thank you." Si Xiaonan said sincerely.

"We are all family. What's there to thank me for?" Lin Qiye waved his hand and sat down opposite her.

Hearing this, Si Xiaonan was startled, and a long-lost look of gratitude and tenderness appeared in her eyes. She pushed her hair back and spoke seriously:

"I know you have a lot of things you want to ask me...just ask."

"Then, let's start from the beginning." Lin Qiye looked into Si Xiaonan's eyes, "Start from Cangnan."

Si Xiaonan was silent for a moment, staring at the bright sunshine outside the window, and slowly spoke:

"As early as when I was ten years old, I was chosen by Loki to become his agent..."

Si Xiaonan's voice echoed slowly in the room, calmly narrating everything that happened in the past. The huge tree outside the window swayed in the wind, and the fragmented light between the leaves fell into her eyes, sparkling.

Similar to Lin Qiye's guess, Si Xiaonan became Loki's agent before becoming a Night Watchman, and was buried deep in Daxia as a hidden pawn. When she got the news that [Shiva's Grudge] was transferred to Chen Muye, she was also ordered by Loki to be transferred to Team 136. Her only purpose of staying there was to find a suitable opportunity to seize [Shiva's Grudge].

After the Cangnan catastrophe, Si Xiaonan had been active in the mist and Asgard until Loki announced that he would soon attack the Supreme, and left her alone in the temple, disappearing without a trace.

“…So, all the injuries on your body were caused by Thor?” Lin Qiye glanced at the charred electric marks and frowned slightly.

"Part of it, and the other part was left by the agents who had a bad relationship with me before." Si Xiaonan said slowly, "After all, the existence of the God of Trickery is easy to be annoying. There are too many agents in Asgard who want to kill me, but they have not taken action because of Loki's existence.

This time Loki abandoned me and let me be tortured by Thor. In their eyes, it was a sign... a sign that Loki had given up on me."

Lin Qiye recalled the people he had killed before, including Phil, and nodded thoughtfully.

"You just said that there are only three days left before Loki breaks through to the Supreme God Realm?" Lin Qiye asked puzzledly, "Why did he set such a specific time? According to his personality, shouldn't he find a place to break through secretly and then come out in one go to clear all obstacles? Why is he so high-profile this time?

Is there anything special about this time?"

"...I don't know, he didn't tell me anything." Si Xiaonan smiled bitterly.

Lin Qiye thought for a moment and said, "It's okay. In any case, knowing the time is a good thing. At least I can prepare in advance."

"By the way, where is Leng Xuan? Isn't he with you?"

"He is in the 'human circle'..." Halfway through his speech, Si Xiaonan seemed to remember something and slowly stood up.

"What's wrong?"

"It's almost time. I need to go out for a while."

"Where are you going?"

"Just follow me and you'll find out."

Si Xiaonan put on a black hood to cover his entire face, and walked straight out of the room with Lin Qiye, heading along the avenue towards the southern edge of Asgard.

After crossing several streets and climbing over two mountains, they came to a green lake.

"What are you doing here?"

Lin Qiye's eyes swept across the emerald-like lake in front of him and asked with some confusion.

Although the scenery of this lake is nice, Lin Qiye's spiritual power has explored every place and found nothing unusual. Si Xiaonan came here with such great trouble while injured, it is impossible that he just came here to take a look at the lake.

Si Xiaonan did not answer, but squinted at the surface of the lake. In the reflection of the lake, a few bright red petals swayed gently like red ink on green stone.

"Flowers?" Lin Qiye also saw these petals. He glanced at the bare ground around him and frowned, "No... Where do the flowers come from around here?"

"These petals are not on the lake, but in the reflection." Si Xiaonan walked slowly along the edge of the lake. "This lake is like a thick mirror. The other side of the mirror is Asgard's 'Human Circle'. These petals are reflected from the lake on the 'Human Circle' side."

"Is this the passage connecting the 'Human Circle' and Asgard?"

"No, this cannot be considered a passage, because only light can pass through the lake, not people or other objects."

Si Xiaonan walked to a corner by the lake, and as if he had noticed something, he quickly leaned over, his eyes fixed on the marks on the stone reflected in the lake.

After a long time, she slowly stood up, thinking about something.

"So, these are the messages Leng Xuan carved for you in the 'Human Circle'? And then they appeared here through reflection?" Lin Qiye guessed the principle behind all this and couldn't help but sigh, "What a wonderful way to transmit information."

"What did he say?"

Si Xiaonan took a deep breath, his expression becoming serious again, "Something is going to happen to the 'Human Circle' again."
