The huge table in the middle of the room probably took up more than two-thirds of the original conference room, leaving only a path around the perimeter for people to walk.

In the corner of the large table, on a large pile of papers, there was a man in a white traditional dress, who seemed to be a fairy, with round glasses, and a weak appearance. When Harlow knelt on the ground, the man turned around, but just saw Song Xiaocheng stepping over Harlow who was kneeling and walking towards him face to face.

"Who are you?" this person was obviously extremely dissatisfied with Song Xiaocheng's behavior.

Song Xiaocheng smiled and shook the palm of his right hand in front of the man's eyes, "The winner of the talent competition." They said, "I'm qualified to talk to you." What do you think? Do you think I'm qualified to talk to you?"

Outsiders can't understand it, and even steel nails can't penetrate his heart. People in the industry can understand it at a glance, and they can penetrate into the bones with just a few words.

The man trembled and lifted his glasses, carefully looking at Song Xiaocheng's right hand. Harlow had begun to babble in horror and muttered something like "I've already told him, it's him who doesn't know what to do", but the man shouted at him and drove him out.

"Shut up! Wait outside the door! No, downstairs...... Outside the gate—take all of you, go back to the courtyard, and get away from me!"

The irascible tone contrasts with Sven's appearance. After Harlow shuddered and withdrew, the man turned coldly, went around the large table, and stood at the window, looking out, but not speaking.

This made Song Xiaocheng a little uncomfortable. Because the scene originally imagined in his mind was: as soon as he entered the door, a fat-brained sect leader and the goatee-bearded Harlow made him kneel, and he said that Lao Tzu was not biased, and they rushed over a few guards who were fighting for the tiger and the like and wanted to come hard, but they punched and kicked him, and no one could beat him, so he laughed, and then set fire to this Wang Bawo, and then kicked the cult leader twice, and asked loudly Do you know that you are wrong, and the sect leader had to cry while wiping his nose and saying that he knew that he was wrong, and he said that it was useless to know that he was wrong, and your power was mine hahahaha, and then used the star absorbing Dafa to absorb all the power of the sect leader, and then walked out of the fire in a chic manner, and took the old skin and walked away together.

But now, the script in my head is completely useless. Because this sect leader is not full of brains, but is thinner than Song Xiaocheng, and looks like a difficult household.

After a long time, Song Xiaocheng spoke:

"You...... You're the Flame Burst Sect Master?"

The man in white slowly turned his head, looked at Song Xiaocheng from top to bottom, and replied lightly:

"Yes. ”

"Uh...... Fortunately, I will be honored. Haven't asked for your honorific name yet?"

"Flame Burst Sect Master. ”

Song Xiaocheng pursed his lips, wondering whether this person can chat or not.

"I mean to ask what your name is. ”

The man turned his face out of the window again.

"In the past month or so, there have been tens of thousands of people who have spoken to me, and no one has ever dared to ask my name. ”

Song Xiaocheng sneered from his nose and said:

"Oh, yes. Anyone who asked for your name was flayed alive by you, wasn't it? Hanging in front of the shadow wall, swaying from side to side, trying to survive and not dying, right? That's why no one dared to ask your name? Huh?"

This sentence seemed to hit the man's sore spot, he turned around, stared through the lenses, and roared at Song Xiaocheng with a sad and angry face:

"What do you know? What do you know? Do you know how brutal those guys are!"

As he spoke, the man kicked the table violently.

In the face of the man's rage, Song Xiaocheng was just about to retort contemptuously, "Their brutality is also instructed by you", but just as the words were about to come out, he suddenly realized that there seemed to be some incompatibles here.

Among them...... Is there a secret?

"Oh, you think that's brutal?" Song Xiaocheng said tentatively, "Then why do you still hang that living sacrifice on the wall at the entrance of the courtyard?"

The man gritted his teeth, as if full of infinite hatred:

"To remind myself at all times, never forget hatred!!"

This answer greatly surprised Song Xiaocheng.

The man closed his eyes, and there were slight water stains between them. He tilted his head slightly, letting the water that had accidentally gushed out of his socket pour back into his eyes while he took a deep breath.

"My name is Yuan Zhangsuo, and I was originally just a poor ordinary worker. At the beginning of July, my landlord told me that my girlfriend and I would not be able to continue living if we could not prepay the rent for the second half of the year. At that time, my credit card had been overdrawn by tens of thousands, and no friend was willing to lend me a penny anymore. Just when I was desperate and about to sleep on the streets, that night...... I had a dream.

"In the dream, I was lying in a pure white, with my limbs spread out, like a man waiting to die. I suddenly felt a tingling pain in the palm of my left hand, and my palm closed involuntarily, but I woke up with a start. Since that dream, I've had this thing in my palm. ”

As he spoke, Yuan Zhangsu stretched out his left hand towards Song Xiaocheng.

As described in the sentence in Song Xiaocheng's memory, "there is a bright red blood mole in the palm of his left hand."

"Before I went to work the next day, my girlfriend said that my hands were as hot as fire, and when I went to work, I inexplicably spewed flames from my palms and lit a truckload of goods. When my car overturned, a dirt truck ran over my head, but I was unscathed......!

"What will a man who is desperate because of money suddenly gain great divine power?"

Song Xiaocheng remembered what Gao He said at that time. On July 7, the Quanfu Bank bombing.

"So you're going to rob the bank?"

"That's right. The first thing that comes to mind is bank robbery. There is a Quanfu Bank near where I live, and every morning there will be a cash truck parked at the door, as long as I rob the bank, I will have the money to pay the rent, and I can live a better life with Xiaojie! So full of hope, I chose to rob! But when I walked through the bank hall, I easily blew up the glass of the counter and broke into their vault, but I saw a terrible person there......

"Who?"

Yuan Zhangsu swallowed his saliva, and seemed to still have palpitations.

"That man is so strange that he can't be called human...... His face seemed to be pieced together from a mass of torn corpses, stitched together with silk threads from each other. One of the eyes was as big as a fist, and a lump was raised high above the head......"

It's him!!

Song Xiaocheng was shocked, why? The Flame Explosion Sect Master had already crossed paths with the bald-headed freak who ordered the dead corpses? ?

“...... It smells rancid, like Frankenstein from a horror sci-fi movie......! I was so startled that I forgot to resist. When he grabbed me by the neck and asked me, 'Do you know the whereabouts of the runes?' I thought I was going to die, but I finally set fire and burned his face so I could get out. ”

Song Xiaocheng listened to Yuan Zhangsuo's story quietly, but found that the man had once again dripped a tear stain, so he didn't say a word, just waited for him to put his knuckles under the lenses of his glasses to remove the tears.

"That day I made the last decision I should have made in my life. Although I didn't get the money, I developed a huge curiosity about the weirdo. Coupled with my own sudden superpowers, I was sure that I was on my way to a realm unknown to mankind! So I decided not to go to work, nor to think about money, but to go to every library in X City, and search every corner of the Internet, determined to find out what was going on with my abilities, what was going on with that monster, and what exactly he was talking about 'runes'...... But after two days, nothing was found.

"Until that night, on my way home from the library, a mysterious person stopped me. He told me that if I wanted to know the truth, I would go to Archive 10 of Research Institute 67, Archive 402, and find all the materials between HH-940-A and HH-955 in the drawer under Cabinet 1. ”

Song Xiaocheng felt goosebumps all over his body, and asked in a slightly dry voice:

"W-ahem! Who's that mysterious man?"

"I don't know, he never showed up again. At that time, he was wearing a duckling doll costume and handing out coupons in front of the deli that sold duck necks. As I was passing by, he suddenly stopped me with a coupon and whispered those words in my ear. ”

"And then you went to Research Institute Sixty-Seven?"

"That's right. Yuan Zhangsu replied.

The No. 67 Research Institute is not far from Song Xiaocheng's home when he was a child, and it is even said that if he goes up to his ancestors, the No. 67 Research Institute and the courtyard where Song Xiaocheng and his family used to live are still related to each other in terms of establishment. This research institute claims to be the "No. 67 Agricultural Technology Research Institute for the Western Civil Population," but Song Xiaocheng once heard Huan Lingyu's grandfather talk about it, saying that it was actually "a place for studying militarized aerospace science and technology," and that it belonged to the kind of "children should not go out and talk nonsense."

"It was an eerie place, like it hadn't been inhabited for decades, and the dust on the floor was as thick as in a crop field. I mistook the third floor for the fourth floor, and ended up in a couple of wrong rooms with things on display that I've never heard of in my life. When I finally got my hands on the drawer full of old materials in Archive 402, I ran into the monster again.

This time he wasn't alone, he had three or four things around him that were even more terrifying...... It's like a creature from a horror movie! tall and big, with a pile of rotten flesh and beast-like fangs on its skeleton. They barricaded me in the archives, yelling at me to 'hand over all the research materials for the Great Runes.' Before they could react, I knocked the shortest of them to the ground and rushed out with the data! But they were so fast that I didn't have to take two steps down the hallway before I was knocked out from behind. In desperation, I set a fire and set the whole building on fire, so I escaped.

"But when I got back to the house...... I was so happy that I thought I was about to learn the secrets of this world, but do you know what I saw? Do you know what I saw in my room!?"

Yuan Zhangsuo's voice gradually got out of control, and he roared with tears.

"I pushed the door open, and my girlfriend ...... My little clean...... I turned on the light and she was right in front of me, just like she greeted me every day when I came home from work. It's just that that night, she was naked, the skin on her back was peeled off, and she hung in the air with wire, and her hair was so messy...... The walls were plastered with her favorite pale blue wallpaper, but that day it was written in her own blood...... 'Hand over what doesn't belong to you'. And she was still alive then...... She's still alive!"
