The afterglow of the setting sun fell, pulling Qin Ming's lonely back for a long time.

The tears had already dried up, and he just sat in Qin Hengyuan's bedroom, sitting on the edge of the bed, like a piece of wood, motionless.

He grieved all night, thought about it all night, and left the next day without his understanding.

Because grief can't solve any problems, he can neither bring Qin Hengyuan and the old man back to life, nor can he change his own fate, let alone fulfill the expectations that Qin Hengyuan left him.

Why did Qin Hengyuan choose this path, he said it very clearly in his letter, and Qin Ming was also clear in his heart.

Qin Hengyuan knew that he had lost his value in the academy, even if he survived, he would become a tool to blackmail Qin Ming, and it was better to die without freedom.

So after explaining everything clearly, he felt that death could not only free him, but also allow Qin Ming to fight against fate without worry, and find a way to fight against the academy, which was the most suitable for him and the most valuable method.

As for the reason for leaving that letter, it was because he didn't want Qin Ming to feel guilty and blame himself for it.

There were no complicated rituals, and almost no one knew, so Qin Ming buried Qin Hengyuan and his grandfather in the cemetery on the mountain behind the town.

After that, he returned to the house, and then cleaned the house inside and out, and took out the box that Qin Hengyuan left for him from the mattress.

The box was small, containing about 30 spells, a bank card, and a dozen bottles of potions.

These were obviously all saved by Qin Hengyuan when he first joined the academy.

In addition to this, there is a somewhat yellowed photo.

The photo is a big family, Qin Hengyuan looks as big as him in the photo, maybe even smaller, he is wearing glasses, and he is smiling happily in the photo.

The old man was also very strong at that time, and there was a little girl who was also grinning with his arms around him.

Qin Ming remembered that before, he had seen Qin Hengyuan many times as if he was looking at something in a daze, and he thought he was looking at this photo.

It was about his fondest memories of the past.

But these memories, as well as the people in the photos, were brutally destroyed by the Academy.

Coming out of the house, Qin Ming locked the door with a lock, and after locking the door, he stood in front of the door for a long time, because he didn't know when he would come back next time.

Just as he made up his mind to leave, a woman's voice suddenly sounded behind him:

"How did you lock the door? Going out? ”

Qin Ming turned his head and found that it was Mu Youshan's mother.

"Well, it's time to go back to school."

Qin Ming pretended to be as casual as he could and smiled at the woman.

"Come and sit at my house."

The woman extended an invitation to him again.

Originally, Qin Ming still wanted to refuse, but after hesitation, he agreed.

Following the woman into the house, Qin Ming felt that something was wrong, because the house was messy, as if it hadn't been cleaned for a long time.

He stopped in front of the door vigilantly and did not go any further, and the woman also stopped, then turned her head and looked at him expressionlessly, and then said coldly:

"Qin Hengyuan and that old man are dead, and he told you everything.

Now you know everything, right? ”

Qin Ming was very surprised by the woman's words, and after hearing this, he asked with some uncertainty:

"You're from the academy too?"

"If there is no existence, how can Qin Hengyuan honestly play his role."

After the woman finished speaking coldly, she let out a sigh of relief and said:

"Thanks to you, my mission has been accomplished. So I don't need to disguise anymore. ”

"You're pretending? What about Uncle Mu? ”

"A brainwashed puppet."

"Isn't Mu Youshan your daughter either?"

"How could I have such a stupid daughter as her, but she should be dead, right?"

The woman made Qin Ming feel extremely strange, because this kind of coldness and the kind and virtuous kindness he had given him in the past did not look like a person at all.

But it was only now that he finally figured out something that he had always puzzled.

That is, Mu Youshan's father or mother, they are all relatively good people, but why is Mu Youshan like that.

After doing it for a long time, her mother, the woman in front of her, the so-called kindness is simply pretended.

Behind the scenes, maybe they're instigating Mu Youshan or something.

"Mu Youshan, that's not a thing, and you've been instigating it behind your back, right?"

Qin Ming knew that if a woman actually found him and confessed these things to him, he would definitely not let him escape, so instead of doing useless work, he should ask something he wanted to know.

"It's just to teach her some principles of being a human being." The woman smiled ugly as she spoke.

"What are you looking for me?" Qin Ming asked again.

"I'll hand you over to the Academy, of course. After all, there are so many things you know. ”

"Is the academy going to kill me?"

"Probably not. After all, I put so much effort into you, wouldn't it be a pity to kill you.

But it should give you a good wash of your head. ”

"You're a recorder? Or is it from the Ministry of Supervision? ”

"You have a lot of questions, are you not afraid of death, or are you too scared to run away?"

"Rather than running away and being caught by you, it's better to try to be a person who understands for a few minutes."

Qin Ming was not afraid, but simply felt that it was pointless to choose to escape.

In fact, he was found by the school, which was an awareness he had before he learned the truth.

"You're a lot calmer than I thought. Well, I'm a note-taker during the assessment period.

But with the completion of the task of monitoring Qin Hengyuan, I should no longer be. ”

"My dad has raised me, and I have successfully entered the academy, but why hasn't the school announced the completion of his mission?"

"I don't know. If you want to know the truth, you'll have to ask the person who gave him this task. ”

"Then why do you think my dad killed himself?" Qin Ming threw out another question at this time.

The woman was stunned when she heard this, and then said with an unkind face:

"What do you mean!"

"It's not interesting, I just want to remind you that with the style of the academy, the price of completing your mission is likely to disappear from this world."

"Do you think I'm a three-year-old? Want to trick me into letting you go?

It's useless, I have already reported Qin Hengyuan's matter to the Ministry of Supervision.

Imagine that someone will be there to deal with your problem soon. ”

As soon as the woman's voice fell, a burly man in black walked in outside the door.

"It seems that the person is coming faster than I imagined, he is Qin Ming."

When the woman saw the man in black coming in, she said subconsciously.

After hearing this, the man in black glanced at the woman, then at Qin Ming, then nodded, ignored Qin Ming, and walked straight to the woman.

Just when the woman looked at the approach of the man in black and felt stunned, a piece of sand and dust suddenly rose from the palm of the man in black, like a swarm of bees, and the woman was enveloped in an instant.

When the dust dissipated, the woman's mouth opened wide, as if she had become a dead corpse.
