Zhang Chengyuan held his breath and slowly pushed the mirror away from the basin.

A half-human-high hole was revealed in the wall above the basin, with a faint light inside.

A gust of wind immediately blew out of the cave.

Creeps.

Although he didn't know what was in the cave, if he didn't go inside, he would never know the truth.

"When I was a child, I even saw real ghosts, are you still afraid to go into this hole? The big deal is to see the ghost again. Zhang Chengyuan made up his mind, climbed onto the basin, and got into the hole.

With an awkward movement, Zhang Chengyuan reflexively moved the mirror back in the cave and crawled towards the light on the other side of the cave.

The cave became wider and wider, and after climbing more than ten meters, Zhang Chengyuan could already stand up, walked for a while, and gradually saw the light source clearly. This is clearly a unique basement, and the light source is a wall lamp in the basement.

Zhang Chengyuan walked under the wall lamp and saw an iron door next to the wall lamp. There is a window open on the iron door, and when you look out of the window, the iron gate is facing an aisle, and five meters away is another iron door, the right side of the aisle is close to the wall, and the left side is a row of iron fences, like a dungeon.

Zhang Chengyuan tentatively twisted the doorknob, and the door was really unscrewed.

He walked in slowly, turned his head to look at the iron fence on the left side of the room, and the picture seemed to freeze at this moment.

Is this a dream?

Because it is difficult for Zhang Chengyuan to explain the people he sees with logic.

In front of him, on the other side of the iron fence, sat a man he couldn't have imagined would be there.

A woman with her hair loose was sitting across the iron fence, her face haggard and her eyes closed.

"Mom????!!!!!"

Zhang Chengyuan called out softly, but after calling out, he regretted it, because his mother was a teacher at Lanqi University, how could he not appear here, this person should just look like his mother with a side face, and he would think so because he missed his mother too much, and if the woman was awakened and found that he had entered the secret passage, I don't know what the consequences would be, anyway, it would definitely not be a good thing. So Zhang Chengyuan hurriedly turned around, wanting to leave quickly and quietly.

"Cheng Yuan???"

This voice is so familiar, so kind, but the appearance of this voice here at this moment undoubtedly makes Zhang Chengyuan feel that this is a nightmare.

Zhang Chengyuan turned to look at the woman behind the iron fence.

The woman had opened her eyes and stood up at this moment.

She is Zhang Chengyuan's mother, Wang Shu, a teacher majoring in electrical automation at Lanqi University.

"Mom?" Zhang Chengyuan heard a sound coming from his mouth.

Either the world is crazy or you are crazy. Zhang Chengyuan believed that it was a very illogical thing for him to enter such a secret passage out of nowhere, and to see his mother inside.

"Cheng Yuan, you? How are you? ”

"Mom! You, how did you end up here, yet, still locked up! ”

"What did they do to you?" Wang Shu did not answer her son's question, and anxiety appeared on her haggard face.

"Me? I'm fine! But Mom, what's the matter with you? ”

"Son, I'm afraid mom doesn't have time to explain to you now, the guards may come back at any time, you go back quickly, don't say you've seen me, don't tell anyone!"

"Mom, tell me! How did you end up here? Who caught you? Why! Yes, it's my reason? Zhang Chengyuan's mind spun rapidly.

"Son, listen to your mother, hurry up now!"

"Mom, I know!" Zhang Chengyuan seemed to have figured things out, he felt that the only explanation for his mother being locked up here was to restrain himself, and the purpose of restraining himself must be to make him strictly abide by the discipline of the Luya organization, including keeping secrets and abiding by various principles. Thinking of this, Zhang Chengyuan shed tears of guilt.

"Mom, I'm sorry, I've bothered you! I'm going to ask the principal for instructions, and I'm swearing I'll never break discipline again!" ”

"Son! Don't say it! You don't understand, it's none of your business! Yu Tao shouldn't know that I'm your mother now! ”

This sentence hit Zhang Chengyuan like a thunderbolt from the blue.

Zhang Chengyuan looked at his mother with a very surprised gaze: "Mom, you mean, are you being locked in, not because of me?" You, you were imprisoned by Yu Tao? Why? ”

"Son, you must go right away! Guards will come at any time! ”

"Nope! Why should they lock you up? Mom, don't worry, I'll ask Principal Yu and let him release you! ”

"Son, this is too complicated, don't worry about it, you can't go!"

"Why?" Zhang Chengyuan's face was aggrieved and incomprehensible.

"Son, don't ask, I beg you!"

"No, Mom, if you don't tell me, I'll ask Principal Yu."

"Mom and Yu Tao are hostile relations, mortal enemies ......," Wang Shu said desperately.

"What do you mean......?" Zhang Chengyuan couldn't believe his ears.

"Son, the Sailing School is not what you think, it is not just a school, there is a ...... behind it"

"Sprout ......," Zhang Chengyuan whispered the word.

"You? How do you know ......? You! Did you join? Wang Shu's eyes were full of surprise.

"Rebel...... Defectors, fugitives. Mother? You, you? You are......? Zhang Chengyuan's voice trembled.

"Our organization is called the Free Man...... Yes, what you call defectors. ”

Zhang Chengyuan's legs were weak, he took two steps back and sat down against the wall, his spirit was on the verge of collapse.

He, when all his hopes of going to the Pure Land were dashed and he would definitely be dropped out of school, he unexpectedly got to join such a glorious and sacred organization as Sprout, and he had a new goal in life, working hard to become a competent member of Sprout, and hoping that his family could be proud of it. And the incident of himself and Chen Jiatong being attacked and Sun Pengcheng being killed made him know the existence of the defectors of the Yanya Project, and the brutal murder of his former partners of the Excellent Alliance, which made Zhang Chengyuan hate the defector organization to the core.

But now, his mother actually told him that she was one of the defectors.

Zhang Chengyuan stood up suddenly, he was angry, he was at a loss, he hated the defectors, hated their infidelity, hated them for assassinating Sun Pengcheng, he hated his mother, this professor of electrical automation at Lanqi University was actually a defector. But he couldn't hate her, because it was his mother! Of course he loves his mom!

Footsteps rang out from outside the iron gate on the right.

"Let's go!" Wang Shu scolded Zhang Chengyuan in a low voice.

Zhang Chengyuan glanced at his mother, and returned the same way with a sluggish brain.

Mechanically crawled back to the bathroom, reflexively pushed on the two-way mirror, and then numbly walked back to the bedroom and sat on the bed.

He stared blankly at himself in the mirror in the bedroom, and at this moment he no longer cared about why Zhang Luoqi was sleepwalking, why there was a two-way mirror, and why there was a secret passage. He wasn't even curious why his mother was a defector. He was thinking about his values at the moment, and he didn't know what he was going to do.

If Mom is a sinner, should he hate her?

But he knows his mother very well, and his mother is a good person, but why is a good person a defector?

But Principal Yu is also a good person, why do they oppose each other?

If you help your mother, will you become a coward who refuses to give up her small family for everyone? But how is it possible to break with your mother?

Time passed minute by minute, and his mind was spinning rapidly, thinking about this question all the time, like a computer MATLAB iteratively calculating an endless loop program at high speed, and never finding the answer. He had a splitting headache, but who could help him find the answer?
