◎He said there is no need to explore the truth◎
Inside the forbidden area of the Vatican, Gu Qian'an leaned against the wall and watched An Mo's inconsistent words and actions. Although he did not have the ability to read minds to know An Mo's thoughts, the other party's vigilant body language had already revealed his hostility towards him.
"Did Fang Jianling's words have such a big impact on An Mo?" Gu Qi'an was a little surprised. He originally thought that he would have to do many things to make An Mo question him, but he didn't expect that An Mo could now automatically advance the progress.
The young man's black eyes stared at him closely. Gu Qi'an knew that An Mo's question meant that he didn't want to fall out with An Qi at this moment, so he gave both parties an opportunity to continue pretending.
But unfortunately, Gu Qi'an doesn't need it.
"If you must go in, I'll be the one who'll put you in danger, rather than the basement."
The dark underground was filled with shadows. This unique environment became the best place for Gu Qian'an to exert his supernatural powers. As his voice fell, the whole area seemed to come alive. The silently flowing shadows concealed murderous intent and waited for an opportunity. As long as the manipulator gave the order, the provocateur's life would be taken away in an instant.
Alarm bells kept ringing in An Mo's mind, but his body couldn't dodge like it did at the beginning.
If the danger came from one side like the dagger, he could naturally dodge to a safe area, but now the sense of danger came from all directions and locked him firmly -
He had nowhere to hide.
An Mo looked at the door nearby. He knew clearly that he should leave. The gap in strength between him and An Qi was too big. If a fight broke out, he would definitely not be a match for the silver-haired boy.
But the truth behind his departure was only one step away, and the thing that An Qi had gone to great lengths to conceal and didn't want him to know was definitely very important, and he was unwilling to just give up!
After all, he didn't think he would die here.
Although Fang Jianling was respectful to An Qi on the surface, An Mo, who knew Fang Jianling's true thoughts about the gods, knew clearly that the two were only friendly on the surface. Once Fang Jianling caught the slightest fault, he would definitely manipulate public opinion and make use of the issue to restrict An Qi in every way.
An Mo can think this matter through clearly, and An Qi definitely understands the key points.
Therefore, An Qi would definitely not kill him, the only heir who apparently had done nothing wrong, at this time.
This is also the reason why An Qi has not killed him since he entered the underground, but instead forced him to leave on his own!
After figuring this out, An Mo no longer hesitated. Green vines broke out from the ground beside him, directly tearing open the shadow covering the ground and attacking An Qi who was standing opposite him.
After reaching A-level, the energy in his body became more and more powerful, and each of the vines it spawned was as thick as an adult's thigh. Compared with the vines, the silver-haired boy who did not move at all seemed extremely fragile, as if he would be torn to pieces in an instant.
Even An Mo, who never believed that this move could cause any harm, felt a little bit of anticipation at this moment.
However, the vines that were coming at him with great force seemed to have a pause button pressed, and suddenly stopped in front of An Qi. The silver-haired boy's right hand fell like a blade, and the next moment, an endless shadow fell from the top of his head and cut the vines in half!
After the huge vines landed on the ground, they were like a drop of water falling into the sea and were swallowed up in an instant.
"I always thought that a smart person like you would know what choice is best for yourself." The boy's voice was flat, as if the massive attack just now did not leave any trace in his heart.
The huge gap made An Mo clench his fists, but he knew clearly that his purpose was to explore the intelligence in the basement rather than to compete with An Qi.
The vines that were just released blocked An Qi's vision for a while. The distance between An Mo and the gate was gradually shortening. As long as he got closer, he would be able to release the vines inside the basement!
But without the cover of supernatural powers, his actions were completely visible to An Qi, and any slight movement he made would be blocked by An Qi.
He could only raise his perception to the highest level and answer while looking for a way to move. "Only a selfish person like you would make decisions that only benefit yourself. We..."
Um?
Before he could finish his words, An Mo was surprised to find that An Qi was stunned. Although he didn't know what had happened, he would never let go of such a great opportunity.
Taking advantage of An Qi's stunned moment, he ran directly to the gate. Although his feet were firmly restrained by the shadows on the ground after taking only two steps, the current distance was enough for him to use his supernatural powers!
But the next second, the expression on his face froze, and the shadow on the ground seemed like an unbreakable net, firmly suppressing the vines that were about to break through the ground, as if the trapped beast could not find any possibility of breaking through.
What's worse is that the shadow falling from above did not dissipate after swallowing the attack. Instead, it continued to swallow everything in Anmer's sight - space, light, and even air.
"Did you do this on purpose?" An Mo looked at the boy standing opposite him. "You knew my plan from the beginning. I thought I hadn't been noticed when I moved. I was distracted just now, which gave me the opportunity to implement my plan. Even the appearance of those vines that initially blocked your view, were all done on purpose by you?"
The vines firmly controlled underground proved that as long as An Qi wanted, his attack would be suppressed from the beginning. However, this plan still reached the final step due to various coincidences. An Mo could not think of any other possibility except that the other party did it on purpose.
The shadows continued to devour the surrounding space, and An Mo's breathing began to become difficult.
The silver-haired boy who caused all this stood opposite in a white robe, like the only light in the dark world. The swallowing of space had clearly made An Qi's figure disappear in front of him, but that hypocritical look was deeply imprinted in An Mo's eyes, making those who once trusted him even more angry.
"You pretend to be compassionate to the world, but what do you want to get? What are you hiding?" An Mo's questioning words did not cause any response in the swallowed air, but just when he thought that everything was over, the shadow suddenly separated to both sides, and the influx of fresh air made An Mo subconsciously take a deep breath.
The shadows that killed people without a trace now swarmed to the sides like obedient pets, clearing the way for their master to move forward.
An Qi walked towards him step by step. The sound of her footsteps matched An Mo's heartbeat, making his inner tension reach its peak!
But at this moment, An Mo did not submit to being killed. He secretly mobilized the special powers in his body, preparing to meet the blow that was about to take his life!
"Many times, there is no need to explore the truth," the boy stopped two meters in front of him.
The next second, before An Mo could react, the shadow completely swallowed him up. When he felt the sunlight again, he saw Feng Yang with a shocked look on his face.
The knight's eyes were filled with disbelief. "Didn't you go to the forbidden area to look for something? How come you suddenly appeared in the palace?"
…
The Vatican's forbidden area.
After receiving the message from Shadow and confirming that An Mo was safely sent back to his palace, Gu Qi'an leaned against the wall and sighed, and the whole person relaxed, "Finally, An Mo was sent away."
"Finally, we can take a break." Yuanqiu, who had been assisting, was also very tired and fell directly onto Gu Qian'an's shoulder and drifted with the flow.
However, it also looked at Gu Qian'an and reminded him, "Although we succeeded in stopping An Mo this time, the parasite in his body is indeed growing well."
Originally, because of the time, the parasitic species had already grown a new organ, the nose. Just now, due to Gu Qian's encouragement, An Mo, who mistakenly thought he was dying, had great emotional fluctuations. The outline of the parasitic species' eyes had already appeared completely, and it only needed a little push to open them completely.
"Maybe this is a good thing?" Gu Qi'an spread his hands, "But until now we don't know what changes have taken place in Anmer's mind in just a few seconds."
His and Yuanqiu's original plan was very simple. An Mo was not actually sure whether there was what he wanted in the forbidden area, so he would not be too obsessed with it. When encountering danger, he would definitely prioritize safety.
But what they didn't expect was that after being stopped, An Mo's desire to explore the basement had more than doubled for some reason. In order to deal with this sudden escalation, Gu Qian'an had to use all his brain cells to send him away without arousing An Mo's suspicion.
"I hope An Mo can listen to my last words and be a little wary of Xia Jingyuan before I find out his position." Gu Qinan put his hands together and made a wish to the ball.
"I don't have this function, okay?" The ball was a little helpless, but soon its mind was filled with the same question.
——Who is Xia Jingyuan?
According to the information Gu Qian'an has received so far, this person already existed before the selection of the Son of God. Judging from his age, he is most likely a member of the Holy See who survived the war.
"But in the early days of the war, in order to ensure the safety of personnel, I linked up all the psychics heading to the front lines, and none of them had a position-changing psychic ability." The ball knocked on his head, and the crisp sound made Gu Qi'an look sideways.
However, he also knew one thing: the ball's memory would forget the names and faces of many people due to loss, but the types of superpowers recorded in the data through the link would not be wrong.
However...
"If there is no one on the front line, could he be a logistics staff?" Gu Qi'an guessed, "According to what you said, Gu Luming was in charge of the logistics department. If Xia Jingyuan was one of her subordinates, it makes sense that he and Gu Luming appeared on the same map."
However, Gu Qian denied this conjecture as soon as he finished speaking, "No, a person's ability cannot be changed. Even if Fang Jianling is in the logistics department, it is impossible for him to be completely unaware of Xia Jingyuan's ability. If he knew, he would not have reused Hu Qian."
"Wait," the ball suddenly flew up from his shoulder, "If Xia Jingyuan is from that department, Fang Jianling may really not know about his supernatural powers."
During the war, all the superpowers were on the front lines killing enemies, but there was a group that was always being supported in the rear. Their superpowers were not strong enough and their combat capabilities were very weak. Their only role was to be transported to the front lines as meat shields when needed, blocking the steps of the aliens and buying time for the main force to retreat.
The vast majority of deserters that Gu Luming dealt with were from this department.
