On the outskirts of the city of Fengdu, a certain villa.

Inside the villa.

Li Mian walked towards the depths of the villa, and the white ice covering his face continued to melt and dissolve, and soon disappeared completely.

When he turned a corner, he saw a figure standing in the doorway, his eyes glowing red in the darkness.

"It's over?" Ji Ye asked.

"Probably so." Li Mian said lightly: "Everything that can be killed has been killed." ”

Ji Ye heard a hint of extraneous meaning, raised his eyebrows, and said strangely: "Is there anyone you can't kill?" ”

"There is also a Yan Hongguang in the Yan family, who seems to be cowering in the Alien Management Bureau." Li Mian explained briefly, "The Foreign Management Bureau has a special status, so I will let him go for the time being." ”

Ji Ye suddenly understood.

The Alien Administration is a state agency established by the Empire to deal with the ever-increasing number of heterogeneous crimes, and each province has separate agencies.

The only people who can deal with alien crimes are those who also have extraordinary powers, and the power of those who are capable comes from the bloodline of the family, and this kind of thing can not be cultivated on a large scale like high-achieving students.

Therefore, in the case of a shortage of large-scale low-end and middle-end capabilities, the local institutions set up by the empire all adopt the local autonomy model, and the combat power of each sub-bureau is mainly composed of the abilities of local bloodline families.

It can be said that the Alien Management Bureau is a microcosm of the bloodline family.

As the strongest bloodline family in Wu Province, the Yan family's influence in the Heterogeneous Management Bureau is also the strongest, Yan Daoze and Yan Hongguang are the principal and deputy directors of the Heterogeneous Management Bureau respectively, and the remaining two deputy bureaus are served by the other two bloodline families.

Although what Li Mian did today was also excessive, in fact, there is a high probability that the empire will turn a blind eye.

Because there have always been contradictions between the top of the empire and local forces, there has always been an undercurrent under the seemingly harmonious surface.

The local forces here do not refer to the local sects such as the Destroying Sun Gate, although the local sects of the Destroying Sun Gate also have a certain influence in the local area, they are completely grasshoppers in front of the wheel in front of the empire.

As long as the upper echelons of the empire are willing, they can easily crush these local sects at any time.

What really makes the top echelons of the empire regard it as a local cancer, and it is the Yan family that has been passed down for hundreds of years at every turn.

These family forces are the biggest hidden danger of the empire.

And the Sun Destroying Gate, Tianlie Gate and the like can really only be regarded as the forces of the rivers and lakes, the local sects are behemoths that ordinary people need to look up to, but in front of a powerful family like the Yan family, they are not enough to see at all, and the two are not at the same level at all.

Li Mian can kill Yan Daoze at Yan's house, but he can't go to the Foreign Management Bureau to kill Yan Hongguang.

Because once Yan Hongguang is attacked in the Alien Management Bureau, no matter how deep the contradiction between the empire and the local bloodline families is, and how big the conflict of interests is secretly, the empire must take action against Li Mourning.

After all, the Alien Management Bureau is a state institution set up by the Empire, and doing that kind of behavior in the Alien Management Bureau is completely tantamount to provoking the Empire, and the Empire will punish the real culprit no matter what.

"I thought there was nothing in the world to scare you about."

The corners of Ji Ye's mouth rose slightly.

This guy can destroy a powerful family that has been inherited for hundreds of years without saying a word, and he acts so domineering and arrogant, it turns out that he will also be afraid of the power of the empire.

"It's not that I'm afraid, it's just that it's not necessary."

Li Mian's face was calm.

For the sake of just one Yan Hongguang, it is really worthless to provoke the behemoth of the empire.

What's more, the frustration in his heart has almost been vented.

"The two of them in there?" Li Meng looked at the room behind Ji Ye.

After he killed Yan Daoze, he went to find Hao Zhi first, handed it over to Ji Ye, and took him away from the Yan family's manor first, otherwise if he was chopped by him with a knife, it would be really bloody.

The room seemed to be shielded from something, and he couldn't hear a single sound in the room.

"Hmm." Ji Ye glanced at the room and pouted: "I really can't stand the greasy inside, come out clean and clean." ”

Li Mian frowned and said, "Isn't that terror eater from the Yan family?" ”

"The Yan family caught her later, and then threatened her with Hao Zhi's life......"

Ji Ye told what happened.

It turned out that what Luo Qi had explained to them before was also the truth, but he concealed the key point.

That is, when she and Hao Zhi were on the run, the Yan family easily found them and caught her without Hao Zhi's knowledge.

So Luo Qi went from Hao Zhi's close companion to a pawn that the Yan family placed next to Hao Zhi.

As for the reason why Hao Zhi was not arrested together, it was because Hao Zhi's cooperation was needed to find another part of the remnants, and only through Hao Zhi's bloodline could the existence of the other part of the remnants be sensed within a certain range.

And because of the negligence at the beginning, the Yan family accidentally killed Hao Zhi's girlfriend, and at that time, Hao Zhi already hated the Yan family, so the Yan family adopted this strategy.

"If she doesn't cooperate, the Yan family will kill her and Hao Zhi at any time."

Ji Ye said: "So she has been walking a tightrope...... However, if you had shown your strength from the beginning, she would have betrayed the Yan family long ago. ”

He glanced at Li Mourning.

In Luo Qi's opinion, although the two of them are also fierce, if they want to fight against the "giant" like the Yan family, it is undoubtedly a grasshopper shaking the tree, so they will cooperate with Yan Wangchen to pit them into the underground tomb.

"This assumption doesn't make sense." Li Mian's expression was indifferent, "I'll go in and ask about something." ”

Ji Ye nodded and turned sideways.

At the same time, the room where there was not the slightest sound came out, but the breathing and heartbeat of two people, as well as the sound of them talking, were also heard.

Li Mian walked into the door and saw Luo Qi half-lying on the pillow, and Hao Zhi sitting on the edge of the bed with a bowl and spoon, feeding her spoonful by spoon.

After seeing Li Mian come in, a flash of fear suddenly appeared in Luo Qi's eyes, and his face, which was not much bloody, became even paler.

When Hao Zhi saw her reaction, he turned his head, and his face couldn't help but change slightly after seeing the two of them.

"Ginseng pigeon soup?" Li Meng glanced at the bowl in Hao Zhi's hand, "Are you sure this kind of thing can also have the effect of replenishing qi and buffing the terror eater?" ”

"Maybe......" Hao Zhi couldn't help but feel slightly relieved when he saw that his tone was good.

"You're afraid of me?" Li Meng looked at Luo Qi on the bed.

Just the action of shifting his gaze made Luo Qi's body tremble.

She didn't even dare to look up at Li Mian, and said in a low voice, "You have a lot of things to ask me...... Can you let Hao Zhi go out first? ”

"Huh?" Hao Zhi was stunned, "Why do you want me to ......?"

Bang.

The door was closed, and Hao Zhi, who had been sent out of the distorted force field, was shut out.

"What do you want to ask?" Luo Qi asked in a low voice.

Li Mian said lightly: "Tell me everything you know about that remnant. ”

"That's the key." Luo Qi said: "Hao Zhi's remnants are the key to entering a ruin. ”

"The key to the ruins?" Li Mian was slightly stunned.

"Hmm." Luo Qi nodded, "I originally thought that the remnant was some kind of powerful lethal weapon, but then I learned from Yan Wangchen that it was actually a certificate to enter a certain ruin. ”

"What ruins?" Li Mian asked.

"A real relic of the Timo era, but not within the empire, but overseas, it is said to be a large relic left over from a powerful empire called Rosa."

Luo Qi said: "The Yan family doesn't seem to attach great importance to that ruin. ”

The Rosa Empire?

Li Mian quickly found information about this empire from memory, the Rosa Empire was the most powerful country in Obaro at that time, and it was also called the Silver Empire because of its extreme worship of silver.

In terms of overall strength, the Rosa Empire was only slightly weaker than the Timo Dynasty of the same period, and it was also full of mysteries.

Li Mian asked, "Where is the specific location of that ruin?" ”

"I don't know." Luo Qi shook his head, "That's all I know, and Yan Wangchen has never said anything more detailed in front of me." ”

"You have to have Hao Zhi's remnant as a certificate to enter the ruins?"

"Only Hao Zhi's one is not enough, it needs a complete remnant."

"Where's the other remnant?"

"In Yichuan, the specific coordinates are not clear, but as long as Hao Zhi arrives in Yichuan, he can perceive the approximate location."

There was a sudden silence in the room.

The sweat on Luo Qi's face became more, her breathing became more and more rapid, and her whole person couldn't stop trembling.

"My original plan was to bring you back as experimental material." Li Mian broke the silence, "But I have changed my mind now. ”

Luo Qi didn't say a word, nor did she have any joy.

The Terror Eater has the ability to perceive the true emotions of other creatures, and Luo Qi senses Li Mourning's true emotions towards her.

That was the cold killing intent.

"I'll leave you some time." Li Mian saw that Luo Qi had understood her next fate, so he didn't say anything more, turned around and walked outside.

At the same time, the distorted force field was withdrawn, and Hao Zhi, who had been locked out of the door, immediately rushed in.

Li Mian didn't pay attention to Hao Zhi, who was sneering, and walked out of the door, and Ji Ye followed behind.

The two of them came to the living room and sat down.

"Is she being believed?" Ji Ye asked.

"I'm not sure yet, but I'll find out tomorrow." Li Mian glanced at him, "Zhao Xingcheng hasn't been contacted yet?" ”

"Not yet." Ji Ye frowned.

After they caught Hao Zhi and the others, they sent a message to Zhao Xingcheng, but for some reason, Zhao Xingcheng did not reply for a long time.

Ji Ye tried to contact Zhao Xingcheng a few times later, but still couldn't contact Zhao Xingcheng.

Li Mian thought for a while and said, "I'll go to Yichuan if I can't get in touch with it tonight." ”

"Hmm." Ji Ye nodded.

The two were talking about this when they suddenly heard a grief-stricken cry in the room.

It was Hao Zhi's crying voice.

Ji Ye immediately rushed over, and Li Mian sat in the living room without moving, and a strange color appeared in his eyes.

After a while, Ji Ye returned to the living room and said in a somewhat complicated tone: "Luo Qi committed suicide." ”

"It seems that she really likes Hao Zhi." Li Mian's face was calm.

Ji Ye was silent for a moment and nodded slightly.

Luo Qi's death is inevitable, even if Li Mian can let Luo Qi go, he will not let it go.

What he hated most was betrayal.

But he didn't expect Luo Qi to choose to break himself off for Hao Zhi's sake.

If Luo Qi doesn't commit suicide and waits for Li Mourning to do it, then Hao Zhi's character will definitely hate Li Mourning because of this, and find a way to avenge Luo Qi.

For Hao Zhi, this is a self-defeating road.

For the sake of Hao Zhi, she could only choose to commit suicide.

Ji Ye suddenly said: "Actually, she didn't make any mistakes. ”

"It doesn't make any sense to say that." Li Mian stood up and left his seat.

He didn't wait for Ji Ye's response, and left the living room directly and came to that room.

On the bed, Luo Qi had a big hole in his chest, lying motionless in Hao Zhi's arms, and there was no life.

Li Mian's eyes swept away, and a direct mental shock knocked Hao Zhi, who was holding the corpse and crying, unconscious.

He walked to the side of the bed and looked at the corpse on the bed, his left eye lit up with a red fluorescence, faintly forming a complex and mysterious model.

As the red fluorescence lit up, the surrounding temperature slowly cooled.

The next moment, the corpse on the bed opened its eyes.

Li Meng looked at the corpse and asked, "Your name?" ”

"Luo Qi." The corpse opened its mouth to reply, its face very stiff.

It's like a puppet being manipulated.

Li Mian grabbed the unconscious Hao Zhi with a distorted force field and asked, "Who is he?" ”

"Hao Zhi."

"Who is he?"

"The most important people."

"Who do you hate the most?"

"Yan family."

“……”

Li Mian asked a few more questions one after another, and the corpses all answered them fluently, and the answers were all correct, and he nodded slightly.

Corpse speaking is naturally the effect of a spell, and the name of this spell is corpse language.

This spell allows the corpse to open its mouth and answer all the questions of others, provided that the corpse cannot be dead for more than six hours and that the brain is not damaged.

Li Mian told Ji Ye that he would know the truth of Luo Qi's words tomorrow, because he was going to kill Luo Qi again tomorrow, and then use this spell to verify those words.

Corpses don't lie.

Li Mourning began to get to the point: "How much do you know about Hao Zhi's remnants......"

Luo Qi did hide some more content.

That is, to enter that ruin, in addition to the complete remnants, it also needs Hao Zhi's bloodline.

There is nothing else to hide.

After Li Mian finished asking, he left the room and left it to Hao Zhi.

Soon a night passed.

The next day.

"Zhao Xingcheng was ambushed?" Li Mian was slightly stunned at first, and then took it for granted.

"His whereabouts were known to the old adversary, and an ambush was set up specifically against him."

Ji Ye exhaled heavily, "Although the other party's ambush failed in the end, he was also injured and had already left Yichuan first. ”

"What about that thing?" Li Mian asked.

"Someone has already taken it, and he is the opponent who ambushed him."

Ji Ye said solemnly: "That guy is very dangerous, Zhao Xingcheng told you to ignore it for now, we just take Hao Zhi and his remnants away." ”

Li Mian had no objections, and he was not interested in going to Yichuan to pick a strong existence that even Zhao Xingcheng couldn't do.

He also gained a lot from this trip to Wuchuan, and what he needs to do now is to go back and further transform his gains into strength.
