"Qingyu?" Lin Qiye was stunned. "What happened to him?"
"The King from the future has traveled through time back to the present. You should know this."
Lin Qiye nodded, "Well...what does this have to do with him?"
“Before coming to this point in time, he had traveled to the more distant past, found Yuanshi Tianzun, and passed on a warning to him... Let us be careful of a person in the Nightfall team. In the future, he will become a nightmare to this world.
That person is An Qingyu."
Hearing this answer, Lin Qiye’s brows furrowed more and more.
In his mind, there suddenly emerged a scene where the old man Wang appeared in a small boat on the foggy sea and blocked the way of the "Nightfall" team... It was also at that time that the "Nightfall" team was broken up by him and drifted into the Japanese "human circle".
Could it be that his target at that time was An Qingyu?
"Impossible." Lin Qiye shook his head. "He is my deputy captain. I know him. How could he be that kind of person?"
"I didn't believe it at first, but Wang Mian had no reason to lie to us... Besides, who can tell what will happen in the future?"
"Just because of this vague prophecy, the Lord of Heaven has put us under house arrest on the island?"
"The process is far more complicated than you think." Zuo Qing shook his head. "Is Tianzun the kind of person who believes everything he hears? For a long time, he has been investigating An Qingyu... I don't know what Tianzun found, but he must have found some decisive factors to take these actions."
Lin Qiye frowned, "An Qingyu and I have known each other for several years. If he has any problems, he can't hide it from me."
"Really?" Zuo Qing stared into Lin Qiye's eyes, "Then let me ask you, what is his forbidden ruins?"
"Of course it's the [only correct answer]..."
Lin Qiye stopped talking halfway.
In his mind, he suddenly recalled the conversation with An Qingyu in that dark sewer:
...So, have you ever found out what your forbidden ruins are?
I have heard of it, but... my Forbidden Ruins does not seem to exist in the existing Forbidden Ruins sequence. The only similar one is the [Eye of True Vision] in Sequence 315, but it is only similar and the function is completely different.
In other words, this is a brand new forbidden ruins that has never appeared before?
It should be like this... My Forbidden Ruins is not in the Forbidden Ruins sequence, and no one has owned it before. I named it... [The Only Correct Answer]!
“…”
[The only correct answer] is the name that An Qingyu himself gave to this ability. What exactly is this ability that can analyze and imitate everything? Not only Lin Qiye, but even An Qingyu himself is unclear.
"Lin Qiye, your talent is absolutely top-notch, but think about it yourself, what about An Qingyu?" Zuo Qing looked into his eyes and said calmly, "He only awakened the Forbidden Ruins after you joined the Night Watch and carried out the mission of the Nanda Snake Demon... but his current realm is even higher than yours.
As long as he keeps dissecting the 'mystery', he can increase his strength without limit. Do you really think his existence is reasonable?"
Lin Qiye opened his mouth and said, "This can only mean that his talent is higher than mine? His forbidden ruins are unprecedented? There should be more than one forbidden ruins like this that are not recorded in history, right?"
"I understand what you mean, but we have to be cautious about some things."
Zuo Qing sighed, "In short, since the Lord of Heaven has left you a chance to leave the island, it means that he is also looking forward to An Qingyu. I told you this because I hope you will pay more attention to him in the future. You are the captain of Nightfall, and you have to take care of your people."
Lin Qiye was silent for a long time, then nodded and said:
"I see."
…
Daxia.
Morning South Pass.
Two days have passed since the gods of Daxia disappeared.
"Qingyu...you said that Qiye won't really never come back, right?" Jiang Er's voice came from the speakers.
On the busy outer wall, An Qingyu sat by the observation deck, staring at the foggy border in the distance, silent.
After Shao Pingge arrived, he immediately mobilized a large number of infrastructure teams to Chennan Pass to rebuild the devastated outer wall. At this moment, many construction equipment were working beside the wall, shaking the surroundings. Even so, there were still a large number of figures guarding the outer wall, looking at the border in the distance, as if waiting for something.
The two days when the Great Xia God and the human ceilings were missing made everyone worried. Even though Chennan Pass had won two consecutive rounds of god wars, there was no atmosphere of celebration in the pass, but rather it was extremely depressing.
An Qingyu did not answer. He took a deep breath in silence, stood up and walked towards the wall.
"Where are you going?" Cao Yuan asked immediately when he saw An Qingyu leaving.
"Instead of waiting here, we should find a way to locate Qiye and the others." An Qingyu pushed his glasses and said as he walked. "Whether it is time or space, since changes have occurred, there will definitely be traces left behind... Yuanshi Tianzun is searching for them all over the world. Maybe I can contribute a little bit."
"Do you have an idea?" Cao Yuan's eyes lit up.
"……No."
“…”
"But solutions are invented by humans, aren't they?" An Qingyu glanced at the border in the distance. "Just because there isn't a solution now doesn't mean there won't be one in the future... I'm going to find a place in this pass to build a temporary laboratory, and start by investigating the soil near the area where they disappeared. Maybe I can find something.
As long as they don't come back, I will stay here to do research. Anyway, without Qiye, [Nightfall] can't carry out other tasks."
Hearing the determination in An Qingyu's tone, Cao Yuan nodded, "Okay, let me know if you need any help."
If there was a fight, Cao Yuan could indeed help, but he was really powerless when it came to investigation and research.
An Qingyu seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly stopped and looked back at him.
"Come to think of it, I might actually need your help..."
"you say."
"I left something at the temporary residence in Shangjing City, and I need you to help me get it."
"What?"
An Qingyu gave a brief description, and Cao Yuan couldn't help but frown slightly, "Are you sure... that thing can help you?"
"Maybe. We can't let go of any possibility now."
"...Okay, I'll go find Captain Shao right away. Now that the war is over, it shouldn't be difficult for me to apply for a short leave." Cao Yuan nodded and walked directly to the command room.
