The mountain behind Laojin Mountain.

After climbing to the top of the mountain, Guan Qingtong breathed a sigh of relief.

Jiang You landed more than ten meters behind Guan Qingtong. When he saw her turning to look at him, he sped up and took a few steps forward.

The research institute is just ahead.

But looking at it at this time, all he could see were tall and low trees and layers of mountain peaks in the distance. The dazzling sunlight fell directly on him. Jiang You wiped the sweat on his face with his hands and pulled it to wet it.

Half of the T-shirt, "If I had known, I would have followed you here in the morning, and I wouldn't have been so exposed in the morning."

"Didn't you guess that?"

"I'm not a magician," Jiang You took a few steps forward and stood under the shade of a tree. He pointed at his legs, "My knees are probably going to get worse. The institute is not considering building a direct elevator at the foot of the mountain.

What?"

Guan Qingtong looked at him.

Jiang You asked: "What's wrong?"

"If your body was broken, would you replace it or repair it?"

"Then it's not me."

A gust of mountain wind blew away some of the heat.

Guan Qingtong also walked under the shade of the tree. She said: "Before my brother left, he compiled what he had learned throughout his life into a notebook and gave it to the research institute."

Jiang You raised his eyebrows.

"So for some related research, they will come to ask my opinion. I am more familiar with the research institute than others," Guan Qingtong looked towards the location of the research institute. "Their research methods are based on facts.

, they like to eliminate uncertain factors and leave certain factors... However, sometimes uncertain factors must exist, and sometimes probability has no meaning."

"You seem to trust me." Jiang You said.

"Yes."

"Why?"

"I said, I saw you in the future I saw," the mountain breeze blew her hair and skirt, "divination is a skill, and I am the best Feng Shui fortune teller in China.

I believe what I saw," Guan Qingtong turned her head and stared into Jiang You's eyes, "What do you know about Teacher Xie's death?"

"I just know this is not good news." Jiang You said.

"What do you mean?" Guan Qingtong asked.

"I just bought a fitness ring and it has been sent out. I plan to practice at home starting tomorrow." Jiang You stood up straight and walked forward, "Let's go and see what's going on over there."

Guan Qingtong looked at Jiang You's back, and after a moment, she followed him.

The halo of light continued to magnify in front of Tang Butian's eyes.

green.

Dots of green protrusions are scattered around the edges of the halo, and they continue to divide and multiply, spreading toward the center of the halo.

And the halo is devouring them.

fear.

She is not afraid.

She had seen a similar scene before. In the insect house, in the golden river of light, the branches of the camphor tree were twisted together, heading towards the direction of the thunder. Under the golden thunder, the branches that were hit instantly became

It was charred and then fell, and more branches surged forward, almost knocking down the entire sky.

courtyard.

She had been here before. At that time, all the elites of the Jinghu Society were here, including Sun Xiu, Hu Yuefeng, and Mingshen. She saw how it collapsed and returned to silence.

It's just a fragment of the 'courtyard', the core is not there and the rules are broken.

When the laws that support it disperse and become disordered, it will disappear completely.

So it is afraid.

The mark of fear of disaster left on the back of her hand.

But--

Tang Butian felt that her chest was also burning.

She can cut through meaning.

Her wrist was grabbed.

She felt that she was leaning against a very thick body, and that gentle and lazy voice sounded in her ears.

——See clearly.

She raised her head and looked towards the center of the halo.

She saw the dead tree and its roots. The roots had withered, and green liquid seeped out from the withered roots. She saw many cracks, small, invisible cracks, all over the soil.

Deep down, she could see very far away...

She saw the sky.

The cold sky was staring at her.

There are no cracks in the sky.

She had a hidden feeling in her heart.

——What did you see?

——It is afraid.

——What about you?

——I'm not afraid.

The hand holding her wrist loosened.

She couldn't help but turn her head and look back. Behind her, it was pitch black and there was nothing.

Looking back, she saw the door between her and the yard. The cracks on the door were twisted, and countless dead branches grew out of it. The dead branches entangled her and bound her.

Behind the crack, there was a line of sight staring at her.

Her fingers trembled, and there was a faint flash of lightning in the black scar on the back of her hand. The lightning burned her body, and she found the target she wanted to cut off.

The green bumps were annihilated in the electric light.

Her hands were white and smooth again.

She spread her fingers.

The falling wooden knife lit up for a moment, then rose up and flew back to her hand.

※

Guan Nuo saw Tang Butian open her eyes, and the wooden knife flew back into her hand.

Thunder sounded.

※

As soon as Jiang You and Guan Qingtong walked into the barrier, they saw the sky suddenly darken, thunder and lightning flashing, and rain falling in patters.

Guan Qingtong stopped and looked up at the sky.

"Run!" Jiang You shouted to her, then took off his feet and ran towards the small building of the research institute.

Guan Qingtong was stunned for a moment, then she smiled and started running.

Sun Yu and Chang Lizhang were already waiting in the lobby on the first floor.

After seeing Jiang You and Guan Qingtong coming over, Sun Yu immediately stepped forward and said, "Brother Jiang, Auntie Jiang, they are on the seventh floor."

Jiang You waved his hand to him. After taking a few breaths, he found a bag of tissues from his satchel. After taking two out, he handed the tissues to Guan Qingtong.

He took off his glasses, wiped his face, and said while wiping the lenses: "Wait a minute, wait a minute, let me take a moment."

Guan Qingtong wiped his face and hands for a while, then walked towards the elevator.

Jiang You put on his glasses again and followed.

"Cut off the connection now." Guan Nuo said.

He looked at the numbers that kept doubling upwards and repeated again: "Teacher Ji, please cut off the connection now."

Ji Xiaozhen hesitated for a moment.

Lin Shunan said: "The loss after cutting off..."

"The responsibility is mine, I, I..." He took a deep breath, "I am responsible for contacting the institute anyway, and I wanted to come and visit. The section chief didn't want to come either..."
