Chapter 103 Alley
◎Man in white robe◎
“Why is there only one page?!”
In the blink of an eye, I returned to the library lounge and the memory download was just completed.
Luo Wusheng no longer felt the dizziness from the initial space change. He was curious about what was written in the book, so after returning to the starship, he asked Shi Hanqiao to continue flipping through the pages.
However, girl A was unable to flip back any further.
Same as many years ago.
“This book is so strange.”
The young man stroked the pattern and words on the title page. The paper was not as rough as that of ordinary books. Instead, it felt cool and smooth.
Shi Hanqiao said, "This is a magical weapon."
The magical instruments made by cultivators are comparable to divine instruments sent from heaven.
She was very interested in what was recorded in the book and also in the magic weapon itself.
But what interests me most is the person who made the magic weapon.
Woman A commented: "Perfect."
"Compared to you?"
Luo Wusheng knew that she was also good at refining weapons and her level was very high.
Shi Hanqiao shook his head.
No matter how high your skills are in refining weapons, alchemy, talismans, etc., if you want to refine a magical weapon that is comparable to a divine object, you still need some luck.
She has never had much luck.
The simpler the information, the more complicated things become.
This book has a five-star logo circled on the cover, a life-changing talisman drawn on the title page, and three lines belonging to Luo Wei. She recognized the handwriting as her own but denied writing it.
"The pattern and handwriting on the life-changing talisman were not created by the same person."
The young man recognized that this was a life-changing talisman with his good memory, and he could also tell from the strokes of the handwriting that the person who drew the talisman and the person who wrote it were not the same person.
The rest can't be seen.
"I feel a little familiar." After a pause, Woman A shook her head: "I can't remember."
She had only drawn a life-changing talisman once, and according to her memory, that was more than six hundred years ago.
The only thing that is certain is that the person who drew the life-changing talisman on the title page is related to her.
On the road to seeking the truth, the more and more detailed information you obtain, the closer you are to the truth, but the greater the difficulty.
Luo Wusheng asked with concern, "What did you feel when you opened it? Did it require any mental effort?"
In his dream, he saw Luo Wei open the book several times. Every time, she would take out a porcelain bottle and pour red liquid on the pattern on the cover.
He never saw the contents of the opened page.
Shi Hanqiao shook his head and said, "I feel that it has many restrictions, and it is a perfect work of art. The book is just its transformed form."
"Your guess is correct. Tan'an chose to give up military power because of it."
What she didn't say was that she felt the power of the law in this book.
Laws, space, time...
It contains too much power that is beyond human reach.
Shi Hanqiao threw the book to the young man and said, "After completely breaking the restrictions of this book, you can really control the entire empire."
"Such an important thing is just placed on the bookshelf? Then anyone can take it?"
The opened book pages closed automatically when they left the hands of woman A. The young man held the book and flipped it over and over again, but couldn't make sense of it.
"What's the point of taking it? I can't open it anyway." Woman A reached out and tapped the logo on the cover. "Who would have thought that this unopenable book would contain such amazing power?"
"Even if we know, like Tan An, he's probably owned this book for quite a while, but it's useless if we can't open it."
It is like a huge treasure that can be seen but cannot be taken.
"That's true."
The young man nodded. If he hadn't seen it in a dream, he probably wouldn't pay too much attention to it if he really saw it.
Just a book.
Even if it can't be opened, people will be curious and will find a way.
But I don’t know what it does, so if I can’t open it, I won’t force it.
Like Tan An, he knows how important it is.
But I just can’t open it, what else can I do?
"what's on your mind?"
Luo Wusheng rarely saw her look so serious.
“I wonder if a lot of things can be connected.”
The information Shi Hanqiao had obtained so far was fragmented and seemed unrelated, like a broken puzzle.
“But I always have a familiar feeling.”
"If all the questions I'm thinking about are connected, it's a huge network that takes a lot of time and effort, but—"
She changed the subject, raised her chin, and gestured with her eyes at the book in the young man's hand, "If he can really achieve this, then he should have no shortage of power, immortality, and strength."
"I can't figure out what the other party's purpose is."
Woman A rarely encounters situations where she cannot figure out the purpose.
There is nothing new under the sky. Human hearts and human nature, whatever we think and do, cannot escape the word desire.
For many things, the process is complicated and confusing, but there is always a way out.
The reason why Shi Hanqiao can see through people's hearts is because she sees the other party's intentions.
The young man frowned and said, "After all, it's not a good thing."
"Four people have died."
Don’t worry about things you can’t figure out, time will always provide new pieces of information.
Hearing the familiar compassion in his tone, Girl A raised her eyebrows, stared at him, and said nothing.
"What's wrong?" Luo Wusheng was puzzled. What was wrong with him?
"The tone of your words just now is very similar to Luo Wei's."
There are many meanings behind this sentence.
It means that she knows that he knows her past in her dream, and she also knows his past in her dream.
Being together day and night, the relationship status will naturally improve.
The bond deepens, and there is more intimacy in their behavior when they get along with each other.
The young man said, "She is a respectable elder."
Woman A once said that she was a saint, but this in itself represents her noble moral character and compassion for the world.
Many things are not black and white.
Luo Wei is a human, not a god, nor is he omnipotent.
"she--"
Luo Wusheng licked his lips, raised his eyes and looked at girl A carefully.
He wanted to ask her about Luo Wei's death.
“Hmm—”
The words that were not asked were blocked.
Soon, he no longer had the heart to think about other people or things.
The young man hooked his hands around the neck of woman A and let her mental power wrap around him.
This time, it was in Luo Wusheng's sea of consciousness.
His sea of consciousness is an ocean, there is no such thing as desolation or oppression.
His emotions are stable, so the ocean in his consciousness shimmers in the sunlight, calm and natural.
With the intrusion of outsiders, the calm sea surface was turbulent, with each wave higher than the last.
Petals that fell from somewhere floated on the sea, sinking and rising with the waves.
The sun was still shining in the sky, but a sudden rain came from the clear sky, making the petals messy and broken, and the flower juice soaked into the deep blue sea.
The afternoon is long and short.
In a blink of an eye, it was already half past six.
Luo Wusheng woke up from Girl A's arms and rubbed her neck and shoulders in a sleepy state.
There were no markings between them.
But it's natural to be close to someone you like.
"What are you looking at?" The young man's voice was indescribably hoarse after he woke up.
Shi Hanqiao glanced at the water on the bedside table and leaned over to press the back of his neck.
After a long time, the cold, transparent water flowed into the young man's slightly red and hot lips.
"The target is near the alley." said Female A.
There is a red dot on the screen, moving at a walking speed, and its activity range is near the alley.
"Is it him?!"
Luo Wusheng moved closer and saw the target information.
Old acquaintance.
But there was no similarity between him and the four previous victims.
Shi Hanqiao didn't say anything and looked out the window.
The night at the end of the year falls early.
Before seven o'clock, it was already completely dark.
As if it was an omen, the night tonight was as thick as ink.
Two young male Alphas were walking in the alley. They met at the docking station in the distance and walked towards the box in the alley together.
"The recent murders have caused panic among the people. No one can predict whether there will be new deaths tonight."
His boots clattered heavily on the ground, and a flash of sarcasm flashed across his light red eyes as Su Ye said, "The murderer's next target could be Tan An, or it could be your grandfather. You don't go back to guard, but you have the leisure to come and mess around in the alley."
"That's all for you to worry about."
Huo Ran retaliated, "I didn't expect you to have the time to care about these trivial matters. I haven't seen you for a few months. Are you done with your work?"
A few months ago, the news of Su Ye’s injury was blocked, but it could not be hidden from their eyes and ears.
After all, they are teammates.
Su Ye's face fell instantly. His injury had healed long ago, but when he thought of this, he felt a dull pain in his left chest.
It's hard to breathe.
He searched the entire capital planet but couldn't find the person.
The noise was too loud, so I had to give up.
Walking through the same alley, Su Ye's nerves were tense.
The search for someone stopped, but he did not give up.
One day, he will find the person who hurt him!
Time passed with the sound of footsteps, it was six fifty-nine.
"who?!"
Su Ye sensed a slight fluctuation in the air and turned around sharply.
A dark vortex appeared in the air, and a man covered in a white robe walked out of it.
The corners of his white robe swayed slightly as he walked, and on it was embroidered a pattern of five stars in a circle with gold thread.
"Walk!"
Su Ye growled.
Before he finished speaking, his fighting spirit soared under the powerful pressure.
But along with the fighting spirit, there also rose an instinctive fear.
Su Ye took the lead in attacking, but the man in white blocked it with his clenched fist.
Unable to withstand one round.
"puff--"
Su Ye knocked against the wall and spat out large mouthfuls of blood.
It's actually lighter than that person.
At the critical moment, the person he was thinking about was the person who hurt him in the same alley last time.
The same sound of landing was heard. Su Ye looked up in surprise and saw Huo Ran lying on the ground in a big shape. His wrists and ankles were tightly bound by mental chains and he could not move.
The target is actually him? !
Su Ye was stunned, not knowing whether to be happy or sad.
Alpha's strange desire to win.
The man in white robe did not walk fast. Under the suppression of absolute strength, every step he took stepped on Huo Ran's pounding heart.
He was like a fish on a sticky plate, watching the murderer approach step by step, but unable to break free.
Huo Ran struggled with all his might, but he found that he couldn't even move a finger.
18:59:50
The moment the man in white robe stretched out his hand, Huo Ran felt a surge of fear rising straight to the top of his head and reaching its peak. He wanted to close his eyes but couldn't!
The figure in white robes kept getting bigger in his field of vision, and his breathing was almost suffocating.
18:59:59
The man in white robe placed his hand on Huo Ran's left chest.
19:00:00
Huo Ran, who was supposed to be dead, is still alive.
"Good evening."
Shi Hanqiao grabbed the white-robed man's wrist and greeted him politely.
She had a shallow smile on her face that didn't reach her eyes. She changed her tone and said, "But killing is against the law."
It was night on the capital planet, and near the chaotic alleys, so mentioning the law seemed like an irony.
No matter what others think.
As a military academy student, Luo Wusheng will definitely not sit idly by.
He couldn't beat the man in white robe, so Shi Hanqiao had to step in.
The man in white robe didn't say anything, but looked deeply at the smiling face of girl A. Her eyes were extremely sharp, as if she wanted to see through the layers of masks and see her identity clearly.
Two spiritual forces clashed in the narrow alley. An invisible aura enveloped the entire alley, preventing the suffocating pressure from escaping.
Su Ye and Huo Ran, who were in the aura, had a harder time. They were tormented by the Alpha's fighting spirit that grew stronger when facing a stronger opponent, and the fear that instinctively arose in their hearts.
The former was fine. Although he was injured, his lungs were not hurt, and he was able to build up a mental protection layer to resist.
The latter was not injured, but the man in white robe obviously did not intend to let him go, and his mental power directly attacked his brain.
Shi Hanqiao only blocked the crucial blow, and the white-robed man's scattered mental attacks fell on Huo Ran, cutting his flesh inch by inch like a slow slicing.
"It's not good to make such a big noise."
Shi Hanqiao still had a faint smile on his face, but the smile did not reach his eyes.
His tone was polite and courteous, but he was increasing the force with which he held the other person's hand.
The man in white robe broke free from her with his backhand, and a dark space vortex appeared behind him. He took two steps back and sank into the vortex.
Shi Hanqiao chased after it, stretched his hand into the space vortex, and in the blink of an eye it disappeared into the air.
"Are you hurt?!"
Realizing that the shielding field in the alley had disappeared, Luo Wusheng rushed over immediately.
He immediately looked at woman A, and saw blood dripping from her arm hanging naturally at her side.
He hurriedly grabbed Woman A's hand and took out the hemostatic spray from the space ring.
"fine."
The moment the vortex disappeared, the faint smile on Shi Hanqiao's face also disappeared, and his eyes became cold and deep. It was not until he saw the young man coming over that his eyes softened.
After the bleeding stopped, the young man looked up and saw the look in Woman A's eyes and realized that she had gained new information, but it was not convenient to say it now.
"Dead?"
Shi Hanqiao kicked Huo Ran who was still lying on the ground.
"He's badly injured."
Luo Wusheng looked down at Huo Ran, then glanced at Su Ye who stood up beside him.
"Fortunately, it's near a chaotic alley."
Medical personnel quickly came out and took the former away. The latter simply treated his injuries with a portable treatment device and then stared at woman A.
The alley returned to silence, with only three people left.
Shi Hanqiao looked at Luo Wusheng, who understood what she meant.
She suddenly decided to go to the alley.
The two of them walked out tacitly, but Su Ye stopped them.
To be precise, it was Shi Hanqiao.
"You were the one who hurt me that day?!"
