The three of them stood in front of the corpse and watched, the tears in Danma's eyes slowly slipped, but his expression was so calm. It seems that at this moment, Danma realized that all the evil was driven by a desire, and he did not get rid of his evil at all. Like his own father, he attributed all his sorrows to external forces, and regarded the tragedy caused by his cowardice and blind obedience to stereotypes as the mistakes of others, and he was always right.

Danma's father had a choice from the beginning, but he didn't have the courage. Danma also had a chance to stop the destruction of Guyan Village, but he didn't have the courage, they didn't dare to do anything, just waiting for someone to guide him, as if he was putting himself on the edge of a cliff anytime and anywhere, praying that someone would pull him, and he was worried that someone would push him down, but he never thought that he might as well leave the cliff and go to a safe place.

In fact, this matter has nothing to do with religion, just because Danma and his father regard religion as their only sustenance, and even if there is no religion, they will imagine other things.

Danma leaned over and grabbed the iron chain and wrapped it around his body, He Changqing saw this and asked, "What are you going to do?" ”

Danma said lightly: "Atonement." ”

Wei Chiran said, "Uncle Danma, you don't have to do this. ”

Danma shook his head: "I not only killed my father, but also killed all the people in the village, the reason why I want to promise you to be a guide is also to walk the heavenly path again, when I saw the red eagle, I knew that God was reminding me to atone for my sins." ”

Wei Chiran tried to persuade Danma: "But you haven't led us to Yunzhou Temple yet, and your task as a guide hasn't been completed yet." ”

Danma pointed to the distance with a chain entwined: "You walk along this river, and when you come to the upper reaches of the river, there is a waterfall, you climb up the cliff next to the waterfall, and you can see Yunzhou Temple after you go up." I've done what I promised you, and it's time for me to atone for my sins. ”

Wei Chiran grabbed Danma's wrist tightly, and He Changqing hesitated for a moment before raising his hand to take Wei Chiran's hand away. Danma nodded slightly in thanks, and then dragged the heavy corpse towards the lower reaches of the river. At this time, the bell reverberated in the mountain stream again, but the sound of the corpse rubbing against the ground could not be heard, as if there was no sin in the corpse, and even the corpse itself had no weight.

Perhaps, when you really realize what evil is and repent from the heart, evil will not become a burden for you. But the guilt in your heart will become the chains that bind you to evil that no longer exists.

From that day on, there was one more ascetic on the Heavenly Path.

Rongcheng, a warehouse in the city, 517 new branch.

The warehouse is surrounded by a towering fence covered with barbed wire, empty chemical storage tanks are placed in the courtyard, and signs reading "Danger" and "Do Not Enter" are hung on the barbed wire fence and the surrounding walls. Ostensibly, this is a chemical factory, but in fact it is a passage facility built by 517 to connect the two worlds at the request of the Department of Parallel World Paleology.

The location of this warehouse also happened to correspond to the Rongcheng branch of the Department of Ancient Science in the parallel world where Zhan Tianya was located, and the original branch was also covered by a warehouse. However, because of Tang She's previous case, the branch was almost completely destroyed, and it was later rebuilt and reinforced before it was put into use.

In order to establish a safe passage between the two worlds, it is necessary to first find the same location in the two worlds, and then try to keep the facilities of the two worlds the same, 517 does not have this technology, so the relevant drawings are provided by the Department of Paleontology, and 517 can be constructed according to the drawings. Because of the drawings, 517 completed the work in just one month, and today is the first official meeting agreed by the two sides.

The basement below the warehouse was divided into two parts, one part was the security conference room, and the other part was the shuttle passage, but when Tang Qianlin stood in front of the passage, he didn't believe that it was just a mirror. The size of the mirror and the way it is made are also provided by the Department of Paleontology, and even the person who made the mirror is a staff member of 517, who used to be a corpse painter and became a traitor because he was wrongfully accused of becoming a heretical traitor, so he simply surrendered to 517 in order to protect himself.

An electronic clock above the mirror in the passage shows a countdown timer, less than a minute before the meeting.

He Changlong also came to Tang Qianlin's side at this time, and also changed into a newly bought jacket, which was jokingly called a cadre uniform.

Tang Qianlin saw He Changlong coming alone, so he asked, "What about Xie Meng?" ”

He Changlong looked in the mirror and said, "I arranged for her to go to training." ”

Tang Qianlin said: "You still accepted my suggestion and let her join the totem." ”

"No, she is just trained, and she will be assessed later," He Changlong said very seriously, "To join the totem army, you must be screened layer by layer, training is only her first step, as for whether she can reach the end next, it is entirely up to her." ”

Tang Qianlin looked at the countdown: "There are still five seconds." ”

When the countdown jumped from 5 to 0, the originally calm mirror in front of the two seemed to melt, and the reflection of the two became distorted, and the mirror surface also raised ripples like the surface of the water, and two slightly taller figures appeared on the mirror, and then, Zhan Tianya and the two of them came to He Changlong and Tang Qianlin through the mirror.

After Zhan Tianya walked out of the mirror, He Changlong stepped forward and stretched out his hand, but Zhan Tianya was stunned when he saw him, and looked at him in a daze, and the whole person stayed in place.

He Changlong didn't know why Zhan Tianya was like this, and he was a little puzzled.

Seeing this, the torture technique immediately reminded Zhan Tianya: "Director." ”

Zhan Tianya came back to his senses and held He Changlong's hand: "I'm sorry, I'm the head of the Ancient Chinese Science Research Department of the No. 1 Parallel World, and my name is Zhan Tianya." ”

He Changlong also immediately introduced himself: "I am He Changlong, director of the No. 2 Parallel World China 517 Institute. ”

He Changlong? After hearing the name, Zhan Tianya trembled, but still said, "Hello, Director He." ”

He Changlong smiled: "You don't need to add a position, just call me Lao He." ”

Zhan Tianya immediately said: "Okay, then I'm welcome, I'm much younger than you, you can just call me by my name." ”

He Changlong said: "I call you Tianya, it seems cordial, although we belong to different worlds, we are all Chinese, and the nature of work is almost the same." ”

Xingshu and Tang Qianlin had already met, so they just shook hands and were slightly polite, and then the four of them walked to the door of the conference room next to them. Coming to the door, He Changlong pointed to the equipment on the door and said: "There are biometric technologies such as iris and fingerprints, only those who enter the system can enter, and we design it in strict accordance with the plan you provide." ”

After Zhan Tianya and Xingshu took the lead in entering their own information, they walked into the conference room.

The walls of the meeting room are reinforced and thickened, and there are anti-eavesdropping and surveillance scanning equipment, which are automatically blocked except for the network and related signals that are allowed to be accessed.

After taking a seat, He Changlong personally made tea: "The conference room is also designed in strict accordance with your drawings, your technology is much more developed than ours, our technicians are very surprised after seeing the drawings, I didn't expect you to be at least decades ahead of us." ”

Zhan Tianya personally took the teacup handed by He Changlong: "You also have areas that we have not been involved in, and we will help each other in the future." But this place, please strictly protect it, do not allow any unrelated people to enter and exit, all the staff in the facility must check their identity and background, there must be your people within a radius of five kilometers, and the traffic police and ordinary police will also be replaced by your people. ”

He Changlong assured: "Definitely, please rest assured that the area has been strictly controlled, and even the residents who live nearby have been investigated in detail. ”

"So, I'll get straight to the point, this time both of us have received the highest authorization from the state to formally meet for the establishment of a joint command, but I still have to reiterate that the alliance between us is only limited to China in two parallel worlds, and no other countries are involved, there is no objection to this, right?" After Zhan Tianya received He Changlong's affirmative answer, he took out another list, "We have already drawn up a roster for the No. 1 parallel world to join the joint command. ”

He Changlong also immediately took out the roster he had drawn up, exchanged them with each other and began to check them.

The list provided by Zhan Tianya reads - Zhan Tianya, Criminal Technique, Mo Duqiao, Fu Mingwei, He Wanyi. And the list provided by He Changlong reads - He Changlong, Tang Qianlin, He Changqing, Xie Meng, and the words "Totem Special Weapons and Tactical Troops" are added at the bottom.

Zhan Tianya looked at the line of words and was a little puzzled, but he still asked first: "Lao He, do you think anything is inappropriate?" ”

He Changlong looked at the list and said: "In the list provided by Director Zhan, the criminal technique is a cargo chaser, Mo Duqiao used to be a mercenary, Fu Mingwei also has an identity as a police officer, and He Wanyi is the person in charge of Huangquan over there, these are no problems, it's just ......"

Zhan Tianya saw He Changlong hesitating, so he said, "If you have anything to say, it doesn't matter." ”

He Changlong glanced at Tang Qianlin: "That's the case, what facilitated the establishment of communication and cooperation between our two sides is the trench, they have been involved in it, and they also know a lot of secrets, we have reviewed the background of the trench, it is very clean, although it is an international organization, it is also a patriotic organization, so, I think, should we also let them join our joint command?" ”

Zhan Tianya said with a smile: "If you don't mention this matter, I will also bring it up, I am also under the care of Tang She and them here, if it weren't for them, my life would have been gone." ”

He Changlong said: "Okay, I have already drawn up the list, and I need to add Yi Yanwei, the former person in charge of the trench, Tang Anshu, the current person in charge, An Wanghai, the person in charge of finance, and Tang She and his wife He Chenxue, his wife He Chenxue is also the person in charge of Huangquan on our side, and the other is Angelica Angelica in the trench." ”

After listening to this, Zhan Tianya said: "There is no objection, but I am curious, what is this totem special weapon and tactical unit under your list?" ”

He Changlong immediately explained: "This is a special force established by our 517 to prevent heretical crimes and mystery incidents. ”

Zhan Tianya nodded and said, "This is a bit similar to the Sky Group A that our Department of Ancient Science once established. ”
