The intermittent chirping of cicadas sets off the loneliness of the courtyard, and in the late summer night, a thin figure is leaning against the small pavilion in the courtyard, looking up at the hazy bright moon. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The dark pupils reflected the afterglow of the moonlight, and the white face was as calm as ever, but the increasingly thin figure still showed some signs of exhaustion, but he himself didn't seem to care.

"You're really here, Lou Yue."

Accompanied by footsteps from far and near, a familiar voice sounded from behind him. Lou Yue turned his head and looked at the man who was walking towards him, his eyes seemed to flash with surprise for a moment, but then he regained his composure.

"This house of yours is very good, and it has its own courtyard, which is much better than the small broken apartment I live in." Ye Yu looked around at this simple but exquisite courtyard, slowly stepped forward into the small pavilion, and sat next to Lou Yue.

“…… I'd rather live in your 'little broken apartment' than I did back then. Lou Yue said softly, with a hint of loneliness in her words.

"Ah, right...... I remember you said before, you also lived in my staff dormitory......" Ye Yu recalled. "But is that room really that good?"

"......" Lou Yue was silent, and once again set her eyes on the bright moon in the night sky, and after a while, she finally slowly opened her mouth again.

"Because that room ...... There used to be a person who was very important to me, but now, he is gone, and that time ...... Can't go back......"

...... gone?

Ye Yu remembered what Xiao Yan said when she took her to the bedroom apartment for the first time, as well as the faint sadness in her eyes at that time, and her heart suddenly moved.

Xiao Yan once said that there was a senior living in that bedroom apartment...... Could it be that the senior......

"Anyway, have you completed all the formalities related to joining the group?" As if he had no intention of continuing this topic, Lou Yue opened his mouth and asked Ye Yu a question.

"Oh, the procedures for entering the Special Operations Group are almost ready...... I've been unmonitored from above. Ye Yu came back to his senses, raised the silver object on his wrist, and hurriedly replied.

"You see, the monitoring bracelet has been taken off before, and now I am wearing the 'electric shock bracelet' you gave me before, and it is really the most convenient to use."

A metallic silver bracelet fitted Ye Yu's left wrist, which also brought him a rare sense of security, just like when he got this bracelet from Lou Yue's hand.

"Since Director An specially approved you to join the action group this time, it must be because he believes in your ability, but even with the protection of this thing, you must remember not to be reckless." Lou Yue said solemnly. "This operation is very important and dangerous, you must follow the arrangements of Director An, and you must not mess around."

"Obey her arrangement...... Is it ......? Forehead......" Ye Yu was stunned, his expression was complicated, and such a performance obviously did not escape Lou Yue's keen gaze.

"What's the matter, do you have any ideas?" Lou Yue asked.

"I ...... Hmm......" Ye Yu was entangled, and the words that Qi Yu had warned him at that time kept coming to his mind.

"Director An, she...... What kind of person is he? After hesitating again and again, Ye Yu finally opened his mouth timidly.

"......" Lou Yue looked at Ye Yu's expression and sighed slightly. You're suspicious of her, aren't you? ”

"No, no, I didn't doubt her, I just ......" Ye Yu lowered his head, his voice getting softer and softer. I was just...... There are some things I don't understand...... This abrupt reversal of conservatives, the theft of Qi Yu's information, and the disappearance of four Blood Keystones...... I always felt like something was wrong, like I was acting according to a script......"

"You want to say that the theft of the Blood Keystone this time is related to Director An?" Lou Yue said straight to the point and shook his head gently. "Although I don't know why you have such thoughts, I can tell you for sure that Director An will never give the Blood Keystone to 'devour' with both hands in order to compete for power and profit. It should be said that in this world, the only person who hates 'devouring' is her except me. ”

The moonlight flickered in the shadow of the clouds, and Lou Yue's expression also looked a little obscure in this hazy night. He raised his head, looked at the hazy moonlight halo behind the floating clouds, and began to narrate.

"Remember what I said earlier, in the apartment you live in now, there was also a very important person to me?"

"Well, that one...... ...... exactly? ”

"He is the predecessor of the current Special Affairs Investigation Bureau, the former leader of the Central 'Blood Keystone Special Investigation Team' - Xie Chengyi, and he is also my life-saving benefactor." Lou Yue said, a touch of sadness appeared in his eyes.

Really...... Ye Yu thought to himself.

"I don't have any memories of my childhood, I don't know who I am, I don't know where I came from, all my memories start from that nightmare experience ten years ago." Lou Yue said slowly, as if she had fallen into the memories of the past.

"That year, I was kidnapped by a group of bandits and locked up in a dark dungeon, along with many children about my age, and, like me, had my memories erased. Every day, we were locked up in iron prisons like animals to be slaughtered, waiting one by one to fall victim to that experiment. ”

"Experiment ......?"

"That's right, the implantation experiment of the Blood Keystone." Lou Yue said, lifting the corner of his shirt, revealing a shocking scar. "Right here, disemboweled, the Blood Keystone is embedded in the body as part of the human tissue."

"This ...... It's ......!! Ye Yu looked at the terrifying scar on Lou Yue's body, and felt a pain in his heart for no reason.

"Cruel, isn't it? But I'm lucky enough to be compared to the kids who died on the operating table. Lou Yue put down her clothes and said quietly. Back then, I watched every day as my living companions were dragged out by those people in the struggle and never came back. In the eyes of those bandits, the child who successfully implanted the Blood Keystone was a secret weapon in their control in the future, but the price behind this so-called secret weapon was hundreds of innocent lives. ”

"These bandits are mad!" Ye Yu gritted his teeth and said tremblingly. "Then ...... You ......"

"Later, the bandits' lair was raided by a special search team led by Brother Xie, just after I underwent the Blood Keystone implantation surgery." Lou Yue continued.

"But instead of waiting for him to rescue me, I took advantage of the chaos and stumbled to the door of an orphanage on a moonlit night, and the director of the orphanage, seeing that I had no memory and nowhere to go, took me in...... After that, the Blood Keystone in my body gradually took effect, so that I often read the memories of other children unintentionally, and because of this, I became a monster in the mouths of other children, and I couldn't stay in the orphanage anymore......"

Monster......? ...... excluded??

A certain memory in Ye Yu's mind suddenly appeared, and that memory came from a dream a long time ago.

The 'Expulsor''s constitution can have a 'close telepathic resonance' with the Blood Keystone, allowing it to indirectly read the memory fragments in the Blood Keystone. The scene of Zhou Jinping's tomb that you once saw in your dream is the memory fragment that Zhou Jinping left in the blood keystone, and this blood keystone that resonates with you is the one in Lou Yue's body.

An Yu's words echoed in his ears, and Ye Yu's heart gradually tightened.

If that's the case, then the reason why I had those strange dreams before was actually because I read the memory fragments in the blood keystone in Lou Yue's body?? In other words, the thin little boy I saw in my dream is the self in Lou Yue's memory? Wait, that's it...... Who is the young man in white who looks very similar to Lou Yue......? ?

Ye Yu was confused, and couldn't figure out the reason for it for a while, so he could only continue to listen to Lou Yue.

"Then one day, I sneaked out of the orphanage and wandered aimlessly on the street alone, and then, as fate would have it, I met Brother Xie again."

Lou Yue said, took out a bronze pocket watch from his pocket, and in the pocket watch, an old photo was quietly inlaid inside, and the young man in the photo had a calm temperament and a soft look in his eyes.

"Brother Xie took me in after knowing about me, not only that, but he also taught me a lot of things, treated me like a brother, and also taught me how to protect myself. I can't remember who my parents were, for me, they are the only relatives in this world, and they are irreplaceable in my life, but such an important person is ...... but was 'devoured' ......"

Lou Yue's body trembled slightly, her fists clenched, as if she was trying to restrain her emotions.

“…… After his accident, I was tormented in hell every day, and after learning that 'Devouring' had come back again, I had only one goal - that is, to completely exterminate 'Devour'! And this, the same is true for Director An, if you know what the relationship between Director An and Brother Xie is, I am afraid that she will not suspect that she will collude to 'eat'. ”

Lou Yue raised his head, looked at Ye Yu, and said.

"Director An was Brother Xie's lover at the time and his fiancée."

"What...... What the?? Ye Yu recalled An Xi's girlish and young figure, and couldn't react for a while.

"Director An wasn't what he is now." As if seeing Ye Yu's surprise, Lou Yue added. "She was in an accident three years ago...... It's going to be like this. ”

Accident...... Is it? What kind of accident can make an adult become like a girl??

Ye Yu was puzzled, but he didn't bother to ask more, so he could only sigh softly.

"Well, I believe Director An. But what do we do now? At present, although we know that it was 'Devourer' who snatched the Blood Keystone, there is no clue at all, and there is no way to track it. ”

"There are still clues, didn't you go to the Western Regions with Lan Jue before and found a zombie?" Lou Yue said.

"Yes, we found out that the zombie person was once a missing student in the previous 'Lu Pei case' list, and his physical changes are extremely similar to Zhou Jinping, and only those who can go down to the 'Loulan Ghost Tomb' can cause ......" Ye Yu thought about it, and suddenly thought of something.

"Wait a minute, I suspected that the 'Lupe case' had something to do with 'devouring', if the missing student was really kidnapped by 'devouring' and went down to that tomb, it would be possible...... This time we are looking for a breakthrough in "devouring...... It's in that thousand-year-old Loulan tomb!? ”

"Quite possibly." Lou Yue nodded and said.

"But...... I heard that the tomb is very dangerous, and basically there is no return? Is there really a clue to 'devouring' there? ”

"What happened in that tomb, I'm afraid only one person will know now." Lou Yue stood up as she spoke, the expression in her eyes was unclear.

"It's time to meet that person." (To be continued.) )
