"Snooping?" Medirli was a little confused. As far as she knew, there were very few people who could peek into Su in the shadows without being noticed.

Sylvanas furrowed his eyebrows at the same time, and he also felt vaguely uncomfortable. Through the connection between Guò Core and the Heart of Darkness, he is now also able to share some of Sue's feelings. This feeling is as if you are being stared at by something, like a needle in your back.

Sue closed her eyes and savored it carefully. The feeling of prying was faint and fading rapidly. However, with Su's current perception ability, he can already rely on psychic induction to track strange feelings in reverse. When Su used all his strength to use his perception domain ability, the world reflected in his spiritual world had a faint change, and it seemed that wisps of ripples and gaps were floating in the space that were invisible to the naked eye. His spiritual power tracked the strange feeling, probed into a certain gap, and drilled out from another gap in the distance, so that after crossing a few times, the strange feeling disappeared, and the spiritual perception that Su probed out was also exhausted.

Su opened his eyes and said, "It's not snooping, it's that someone was thinking about me just now, but it's not a good thing." ”

As soon as the words came out, Sylvanas' eyes widened and she looked at Sue with an incredulous look. He has an invisible connection with Su, of course, he knows that Su just now is not guessing blindly by feeling, but really using his mental ability to detect and perceive. However, if you can even perceive such a thing as someone else thinking unfavorably about him, it is really a little too terrifying. From now on, who can still hurt Sue?

Although the source of the problem was clarified, Sue fell into deeper thought, thought for a while, and asked Medirly, "Why can you sense the thoughts of other people?" Is it possible to feel more people's thoughts in the future, for example, Fanny? ”

Medirri's sky-blue eyes flickered for a moment, and she said casually: "It's not strange to be able to feel what others are thinking, in fact, the world we live in can be seen as a complete individual, and every being in the world is connected to the world itself." A lot of competencies are built on this connection. If many of the abilities in the perceptual domain are passive perception, then the mental probing you just now should be active perception. You can't feel that Persephone's thoughts are normal yet, and active perception requires a very high level of ability. And perception often relies on the body's instincts, and our instincts are much more sensitive to hostility than to kindness. So you can sense that someone wants to work against you, but it's hard to know what Persephone is thinking. Come to think of it, that's a good thing! If you can't feel it, it means that she is just thinking about you. ”

After listening to Medirri's explanation, the doubts in Sue's heart disappeared slightly. But more doubts arose. What kind of person would want to be against him, or even threatening enough to make him wary? Judging from the feeling he had just gotten from the psychic sense, this person should have been in contact with him from the end.

Sylvanas stared at Medirri at this time, but her expression was very complicated, with surprise, hatred, and a little admiration. Medirri is talking about an awareness of the nature of the world, and when you hear it, you know that it is not unfounded nonsense. His father, Cornier, had a similar conjecture before the war and had been trying to prove it. But before leaving the Ice Throne, judging from Cornier's account, his understanding of the nature of the world is still chaotic and unorganized, and even the level of describing phenomena is not perfect.

"You...... How can you know so much? The boy asked with difficulty. Because of Ansuna's death, he also hated Medirri. He knew Medirri's true age, and it was because of her age that she looked so incredible. How could a girl who had just turned seventeen know this? It was only out of curiosity and a thirst for power that Sylvanas broke the silent war with Medirri, which had remained only in the imagination of the teenager.

"These are all sued by the empress." Medirli said.

Su was still reminiscing about the feeling just now, and engraved the impression of Qiē in his memory as it was. He is full of wariness of this unknown person, and now he remembers the characteristics of the other person, so that he will not be caught off guard in the future. This kind of information obtained on the spiritual level is the most authentic and unaffected by the changes in the other person's appearance. However, in the entanglement just now, Su tried a new technique, and the resonance between the spirits of Guò passed on the killing intent to the other party. The latent instinct tells him that doing so can inflict mental trauma on the other person, as if it were pierced sharply with an invisible needle. Su had never known that there was such an attack before, but just now, it naturally appeared in his consciousness, and he used it naturally, as if he had fought countless times before. It's just that the outcome of the attack can't be verified.

Thousands of kilometers away, Elena suddenly felt an inexplicable palpitation, her heart almost stopped beating, and her chest felt hollow and unspeakably uncomfortable. Although the throbbing was fleeting, such a strange feeling made her heart tremble, and she didn't know what was wrong.

Three days later, on the avenue outside the Iron Gate, three figures slowly walked in. They all wrapped their bodies in heavy cloaks, and their faces were completely invisible. At the front was Sue, followed by Medirri, who was about as tall as him, and Sylvanas, who was the most slender and last.

The majestic steel gate stood like a silent beast in front of the three of them.

Su suddenly raised his head, and in the shadow under the hood, his blue left eye reflected the city that was imprinted with the imprint of the Great Industrial Age. He already sensed something was wrong.

The Iron Gate is too silent.

In the past, the huge steel mills and power stations of the Steel Gate would be constantly emitting rising white gas, which could be clearly seen from dozens of kilometers away. But now not only is there no sign of the factory starting, but even the familiar roar of the machine has disappeared. Su knew what a loss it would mean if the blast furnace of the steel mill was shut down. To make matters worse, the current level of industry at the Iron Gate is simply not capable of building a blast furnace on the scale of the old days. Those blast furnaces with a capacity of more than 100 tons are behemoths, representing the highest level of technology in heavy equipment manufacturing in the era of great industry. The two remaining old blast furnaces at Steel Gate are both old and likely to be scrapped once they stop working. This means that in the future, only four new small blast furnaces will be relied on to supply steel, which will be a heavy blow to the economic system of the entire western region of the Great Lakes.

Before leaving, Sue handed over the Iron Gate to three servants, and equipped them with hundreds of heavily armed warriors. Although this is a little less than the tens of thousands of people in the Iron Gate, the original ability to rule the Iron Gate has almost been swept away, led by Rigolei and the tactician, Su believes that they can control the situation. What's more, in addition to the people who remained, there were also the Blade of Perdition led by Victor and others. Nominally, the Blade of Perdition has become a vassal of Su, and with their support, the remnants of the Iron Gate should not be able to make any waves.

But why did the steelmaking plant at Steel Gate shut down?

The sentries on the walls of the Iron Gate had already spotted three people and immediately moved their guns, and Su suddenly had the feeling that he was being aimed at by a sniper rifle. But since there are preparations, at a distance of several hundred meters, it is simply impossible for a sniper rifle with gunpowder kinetic energy to hit Su.

An off-road vehicle pulls out of the steel gate and stops in front of Sue. Two heavily armed soldiers jumped out of the car, and at the same time an officer got down.

The anti-aircraft machine gun on the roof of the SUV was aimed at Sue with a black hole, and the dead fish-like eyes of the machine gunner burst with a cruel bloodthirsty light. Sylvanas's body trembled uncontrollably, instinctively fearful. The anti-aircraft machine gun was a mortal threat to him, and with his current ability, he could not dodge the strafing of the anti-aircraft machine gun at such a close distance. In the eyes of the officer, this was a sign of fear. This reaction made him very satisfied. However, Su knew that the boy's trembling was not due to fear, but to warm up his body and prepare for a possible battle. The core will be afraid, but it will not act superfluously because of fear.

"Who are you? Take the hood off! The officer's hand rested on the pistol at his waist and asked.

Sue's eyebrows tightened, she lifted her hood, revealing her iconic face, and asked coldly, "I'm Sue." Who are your chiefs? And what about Rigore, where is he? ”

"Sue?" Hearing Su's tone, the officer's face was immediately covered with clouds, and he was about to have a seizure, when he suddenly remembered something, and looked at Su's face carefully, and his face instantly turned pale.

He snapped a very standard military salute and said loudly: "It turned out to be Lord Su!" Please wait a moment, I will ask the chief at once. The whereabouts of Commander Rigore are not for me to know. ”

Su nodded, letting the officer walk towards the off-road vehicle a few meters away. At the signal of the officer, the anti-aircraft machine gun on the car changed direction and was no longer pointed at the three people. The muzzles of the weapons in the soldiers' hands were also pointed to the ground, but their expressions were a little strange. They were all veterans who exuded a bloodthirsty aura, standing seemingly casually, but in fact, as long as there was a slight change, the muzzles of those guns pointed at the ground would bounce at the first time, aiming at the vital points of the three of them.

The officer got into the SUV and called out to the city's headquarters from the compartment. He didn't know whether he had brought the door to the car intentionally or unintentionally, and through the thick shielding armor panels, even the soldiers standing next to the car could not hear what was being said inside.

Sue stood quietly, waiting for the results of the officer's contact. He was very patient.
