Following.

Nine o'clock in the morning.

Security Bureau, basement level.

Qin Mo and Li Changqing stood side by side, standing in front of the cell.

In addition to the two of them on this floor, there is only one Li Ming left hiding in the air, and there are no other idle people.

Even Li Mo and Li Yuan, the two brothers and sisters, did not participate in this top-secret interrogation, their trust was top-notch, but their strength was too low.

"It's not too early, so let's start."

Qin Mo turned his head and said to Li Changqing beside him, and then he pulled the chair next to his legs, and Shi Shiran sat down.

Hearing this, Li Changqing nodded, walked into the cell, stood opposite Xia Mei, stretched out his right hand to cover her head, and an extremely weak spiritual power quietly emanated.

Dozens of seconds later, Xia Mei, who was still in a deep sleep before, suddenly frowned slightly.

She struggled to raise her eyelids, looked up, and Mohu's vision gradually became clearer.

At the same time, dusty memories came flooding back, and from the moment she came out of her swaddling clothes, she began to replay scenes like a movie.

Something she had forgotten was now clear, as if it had just happened yesterday.

The replay speed of memories is very fast, which is a great burden on Xia Mei's spirit, but she can't take the initiative to stop all this, only passively accept it.

Her forehead soon erupted, and her face was full of pain.

"What did you do to me?!" Xia Mei shouted angrily in a hoarse voice.

Seeing her like this, Li Changqing smiled slightly, and replied: "It's just a little trick of the spiritual department, this is just to make you remember it more clearly, so that it is convenient to wait for the transcript, don't worry, relax, it will be over soon." ”

"Huh!"

Xia Mei let out a muffled snort, the memories in her mind passed faster and faster, and the final picture was frozen in the safe house, and then came to an abrupt end.

Li Changqing didn't lie to her, this speed is really fast.

Xia Mei's body collapsed on the chair, her bangs were soaked with beads of sweat and stained on her forehead, which gave her a sense of charm.

Taking advantage of this short respite, Xia Mei began to quickly check her physical condition, observing the surrounding environment by the way.

However, just a moment's notice, her heart immediately sank.

She is in a very bad state now, her whole body is revealing weakness, where is there still a little bit of S-class awakened person?

The internal organs in the body, as well as the meridians and bones, all have a lot of dark wounds, and the huge genetic power is like a pool of silent stagnant water, which can't set off the slightest wave.

In short, today's Xia Mei is not much different from an ordinary person, the only difference is that she has a demigod body.

"Don't waste your efforts, your genes have been completely locked in the secret mine, and it is almost impossible to break free on your own."

Li Changqing smiled and said slowly, he knew all this, so he dared to be so bold as close to her.

And Xia Mei on the other side, when she heard the word secret mine, a heart that had sunk to the bottom of the sea shattered into four or five petals in an instant, and a sense of despair rose faintly in her heart.

As Li Changqing said, with the addition of a secret mine, it is absolutely impossible for her to escape.

For now, we can only wait for someone else's rescue.

It's just that...... Will Xia take this risk?

Xia Mei's eyes changed, and she looked down at the silver rings she wore on her wrists and ankles, her throat was bitter.

The silver rings are actually made from secret mines, and they have the same effect as the handcuffs used by the Security Bureau in the past, which can suppress the genetic power in the human body.

But that kind of handcuff is ineffective when used on the body of an S-class awakened, and only this kind of refined special silver ring can do it.

"So, can we talk now?"

Just when she was full of bitterness, Li Changqing aimed at the opportunity and suddenly asked.

Hearing this, Xia Mei slowly raised her head and swept around casually.

She saw Qin Mo sitting outside the cell, but she didn't care about his existence, she just turned her head to look at Li Changqing and asked:

"What do you want to talk about?"

"Of course, let's talk about how the Gaoling Xia clan collaborated with the enemy and committed treason, how to raise self-respect, and how to attack and kill important members of the empire." Li Changqing smiled.

As soon as these words came out, Xia Mei's whole person froze in place, with the same shocked expression on her face as the dead Xia Jiuchuan.

How would he know?

And how would the Security Service know?

What Li Changqing said above is all extremely secretive things, and it stands to reason that it is impossible to expose them at all.

However, the reality is that she can't help but believe it.

The other party knows it for sure!

However, Xia Mei hid her shock very well, and after less than a second of stunned, she immediately smiled and said delicately:

"This brother is really inexplicable, what kind of Xia clan collaborated with the enemy and treason, assassinated important people, why can't I understand a word of these words?"

"Oh? Do not understand? It seems that the brain is still a little unclear, so let you remember it again. ”

Li Changqing maintained his harmless smile, and raised his hand again to release a faint spiritual power, enveloping Xia Mei's brain.

Immediately after that, all the memories began to play the movie at a rapid pace again, only this time......

It's upside down.

The screams of pain in the cell sounded again, like the most beautiful music in the world.

A large number of memory images are forcibly compressed to the speed of light flashing within half a minute, which will cause a huge load on the human body's spirit, and if you can't bear it, you will have a mental breakdown on the spot.

Compared to the traditional physical punishment, mental torture is obviously a thousand times more terrifying.

What Li Changqing is doing now is to break Xia Mei's spirit step by step and destroy the psychological defense line she has built.

Qin Mo, who was sitting on the chair peacefully, quietly watched all this in front of him, without the slightest inner fluctuation, and did not feel that this method was too cruel.

That is, because Xia Mei is an S-level awakener, otherwise there would be no need for such trouble.

Li Changqing could read her memories directly, as long as he avoided the core area of the spirit seed, but now he couldn't.

Half a minute passed in a flash, and Li Changqing slowly withdrew his hand.

Xia Mei gasped heavily, Tong Kong was unconscious, she had lost her original luster, and a large amount of cold sweat broke out all over her body, as if she had just been fished out of the water tank.

The bright red evening dress on her body hugged her skin tightly and reflected the perfect curves of her figure.

Seeing Xia Mei's slightly collapsed appearance, the smile on the corner of Li Changqing's mouth gradually became richer, and he immediately took out a document from behind him, opened it and put it in front of her eyes.

I saw that the documents were densely packed with small words and photos, all of which contained detailed personal information about Xia Mei.

It clearly records what her relationship is with the Gaoling Xia clan.

Xia Mei just glanced at it, and her face changed, and the fragile psychological defense line that had already cracked a hole became even more tattered.

"So, can we talk now?"

Li Changqing said softly, whispering word by word like a demon.

Xia Mei fell silent, trying her best to make her breathing steady, while making extremely difficult measurements in her heart.

She was indeed loyal to the Xia clan, but she didn't want to die yet.

Death has always been a heavy topic.

After a short silence, Xia Mei raised her head again, stared at Li Changqing's dark face with her eyes, her red lips opened and closed slightly, and said slowly:

"Yes."

Clearly, she has made her choice.

Li Changqing stroked his hands, applauded and smiled, and said, "Wise choice, you can rest assured, the Xia clan does not know the news that you are still alive, and no one will come to kill you."

Nothing we talk about will touch the spiritual seed in your head.

I'm a spiritual awakener, and you should know that I have this ability. ”

His words completely dispelled Xia Mei's last doubts.

Xia Mei nodded, and said in a condensed voice: "I will say everything I can say, I only have one condition, you must ensure my safety, not only now, but also in the future." ”

Hearing this condition, Li Changqing did not immediately agree to her, but turned his head to look at Qin Mo outside the cell, revealing an inquiring look.

Seeing this, Qin Mo didn't think too much about it, and directly agreed.

He tapped the table with his knuckles, attracting Xia Mei's attention, and then smiled:

"The Xia clan collaborated with the enemy and treason, and it has already violated the laws of the Great Qin, and the whole clan should sit together according to the law, but if you abandon the darkness and turn into the light, take the initiative to surrender, and assist the Security Bureau to sweep away the traitors, it can be regarded as a meritorious service, and the capital crime can be avoided."

"Presumably this is the deputy director of the Security Bureau, Hou Qin Mo in Guannei." Xia Mei's eyes flickered, revealing his identity.

Immediately after, she raised the corners of her mouth and habitually showed a charming smile.

"Guan Neihou's promise, I believe it, okay, you can ask."

She didn't have to ask for more, and she knew how to negotiate well.

Now that she is under the roof and her own life is in the hands of others, she has no choice, she can save her life, and the rest can be put aside.

"Changqing, let's get started." Qin Mo nodded slightly at him.

Li Changqing hummed lightly, then turned his head to look at Xia Mei, narrowed the smile on the corner of his mouth, and his expression became serious.

"First question, when was the spiritual seed in your head planted, and by whom?"

This is in the realm of answerability, and does not trigger the imprint of the spiritual seed.

Hearing this, Xia Mei frowned slightly, and recalled: "This seed seems to have been in Qingming twenty years ago, when I was still an A-level and had not yet touched the threshold of S-level.

According to the customs handed down by the empire since ancient times, Qingming should worship ancestors in the sky, and the Xia family is no exception, hundreds of people gathered in the ancestral tomb of Gaoling, and three thick ambergris incense sticks were lit in front of the tomb.

I remember very well that the fragrance seemed to be the most wonderful smell in the whole world, and after inhaling it into the nose and mouth, there was a feeling of fluttering immortals, which made people sink into it unconsciously.

By the time the consciousness woke up again, more than half of the time had passed, and the general stood at the front, looked at us with a smile on his face, and calmly said the matter of the spiritual seed.

I don't know exactly who planted it, but the only person who was sober at that time was the general, and it was most likely him. ”

The general in her mouth is naturally Xia Zu, and Xia Zu twenty years ago has been training at the border for many years, showing good talent, and he can be regarded as famous.

According to Xia Mei's description, Xia Zu is indeed the most likely person, but there is still a fatal doubt.

That is, Xia Zu is not an awakened person of the spiritual department, how can he pinch out the spiritual seed?

Qin Mo frowned slightly, his super brain was running rapidly, deducing all kinds of possibilities.

But with no more clues at hand, he couldn't find out the real answer.

Qin Mo had to temporarily suppress this doubt to the bottom of his heart and leave it for the future to answer.

He raised his eyes and continued to look at Xia Mei, only to see that Li Changqing was already asking the second question.

"The Xia clan came to the imperial capital this time, and it is divided into two forces, light and dark, who are you secret people in contact with?"

"Xia Xuan, the grand butler of the ancient castle, and Xia Dongfang, the head of the Xia Clan's Elders' Council."

"Very good, the third question, how did the Xia clan secretly contact the Qi State." Li Changqing's eyes narrowed.

Xia Mei shook her head without thinking, and replied directly: "I don't know, almost all the secret affairs of the Xia family are in charge of Xia Dongfang and Xia Xuan, and the two of them are the most trusted people of the general.

If you want to know more secrets, you need to pry their mouths open, and I'm only responsible for receiving the task and then carrying out the mission. ”

"Okay, let's not talk about this matter for now, let's talk about the connection between the place and the Xia family, you won't know this, right?"

Li Changqing asked out loud, the questions to be asked in today's interrogation have been discussed in advance, and now they only need to follow the step-by-step process.

As for those who can't get an answer, they can skip it directly, and you can get as much information as you can.

Xia Mei didn't say that she didn't know anymore this time, but nodded and replied:

"I do know a lot about the Heaven and Earth Society, but I don't participate in the core, the contact between the Heaven and Earth Society and the Xia Clan is all done by Xia Xuan himself, and he has always maintained a one-line contact.

Especially in the Taishan vein, Xia Xuan never let anyone interfere......"

Subsequently, Xia Mei told everything she could say in detail, the key information that she couldn't say, and finally chose to use the metaphor of the story to explain.

This interrogation lasted a full six hours, during which Li Changqing changed many angles and several ways to verify the truth of Xia Mei's words, and finally determined that they were true.

Qin Mo did not observe the whole process, he stayed in the interrogation room for less than half an hour, and then took the elevator back to the top floor.

The clues and information provided by Xia Mei are important, but they can't be delayed too much time because of this.

If he has been staying underground in the dark, how can he obtain solar energy and accumulate light energy points?

Strength is the foundation of everything, and it is the stupidest choice to take care of one or the other.

Besides, with Li Changqing and Li Ming here, he doesn't need to worry too much.

In this way, time passed quickly, almost in a flash.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, dusk fell silently.

The fiery red remnant sun hung leisurely in the sky, and a warm current suddenly emerged from Qin Mo's chest.

Qin Mo, who was lying on the chair, slowly opened his eyes, his eyes focused on his eyes, and opened the superhuman gene awakening panel.

Vision: 184

Listening: 178

Intelligence: 178

Respiration: 177

Strength: 185

Speed: 183

Recovery: 177

Defense: 181

Light Points: 35 (freely assignable)

Without further ado, as always, balanced development.

Qin Mo assigned 4 points to each of the eight attributes, and then added one point to intelligence, breathing, and recovery.

The huge warm current quickly escaped all over his body, injecting the scorching solar energy into every cell, enhancing him in all directions.

"Defense: 185, Skill: Iron Body Enhanced."

An even greater warm current once again flowed out from the unknown depths of the body, covering the whole body.

After this strengthening, Qin Mo's steel body has grown from the previous V-rank to the VI-rank, directly doubling on the previous basis, and has a more perverted defensive power.

He can now withstand more powerful attacks, as well as be immune to more elemental damage.

In short, Qin Mo's life-saving ability has once again been substantially improved.

Of course, to what extent, he still didn't know, but it was inevitable that the awakened people of the eighth order and below would not be able to cause any harm to Qin Mo.

This is something that the mother doubts.

The corners of Qin Mo's mouth slowly curled, revealing a surging smile.

"Invincible both offensively and defensively, this is what qualifies to be called a hexagonal warrior." He muttered under his breath.

Then, Qin Mo got up from his chair and flew towards the floor-to-ceiling window.

It's time to get off work, so it's time to go home.

It is impossible to work overtime, this is his matter of principle.

However, Qin Mo hadn't taken two steps before his expression suddenly moved, his eyebrows were raised, and he paused to look back at a certain part of the air.

His spiritual perception sensed abnormal fluctuations.

The surrounding environment was all under Qin Mo's perception, and it was impossible for anything that was wrong to escape his spiritual perception.

This is why Li Ming's hiding place can be accurately stated by him, and how Xia Jiuchuan was seen through the disguise at a glance.

I saw that at the moment when Qin Mo had just turned around, there were ripples in the empty air, and Li Ming's figure took a step forward.

"Guannei Hou, the situation in the imperial capital has been complicated recently, and it is inevitable that the Gaoling Xia clan dog will jump over the wall in a hurry, and the elders will specially equip you with a guard under comprehensive consideration." Li Ming said.

Hearing this, Qin Mo frowned slightly, and said, "Guard? What guards? ”

When he heard the news, he subconsciously thought that the Qingyang Li clan wanted to monitor him, but after thinking about it, he denied this speculation.

There's no need at all.

The Qingyang Li clan knew that he had powerful means of exploration, and he was equipped with a guard, and it was impossible for the guard to hide everything from him.

He had a thousand ways to dodge and get out of the way, and he could even use the hands of the guards to deliver false news to the Li family.

Then, if this possibility is ruled out, then what Li Mingshi said is true.

"I can kill the seventh order casually now, if you want to be qualified to protect me, then at least it has to be a ninth order, right, the Li family is so generous?"

Qin Mo secretly thought in his heart that he knew that Li Muye must be interested in his potential, but he didn't expect to attach so much importance to it.

This is mainly because he does not have a clear understanding of the status of the Heavenly King, otherwise he will naturally feel that this is a normal operation, and he will not be the slightest bit surprised.

On the other side, after Li Ming heard his question, he did not answer, but stretched out his hand and pointed to the door of the office.

Bang!

Suddenly, there was a bang.

The door was kicked open, Li Tiangang clasped his hands in front of his chest, opened his mouth, looked at Qin Mo coldly, and snorted:

"You kid is Qin Mo?"

Qin Mo: "......"

For a moment, he didn't know what to answer.

Look at Li Tiangang's posture, where does he look like a guard?

Isn't this a debt collector?!

That's it, can he be a ninth-order S-class awakener?

Qin Mo had reason to remain skeptical.

He didn't say anything, he also raised his neck, stared coldly at Li Tiangang standing at the door, and his face was calm.

The sharp eyes of the two converged, as if two burning sparks collided and exploded in an instant!

The atmosphere in the office became inexplicably strange, and the air around it seemed to turn into a heavy stream of water, extremely stagnant.

Li Ming looked at Qin Mo, turned his head and glanced at Li Tiangang a few times, and suddenly felt that his throat was extremely dry, and his whole body was like a needle prick, and he was uncomfortable anywhere.

These two people, whether in terms of status or personal strength, are not inferior to him, which brings him considerable pressure.

He can't wait to slap himself now, why did he come out at this time?

Li Tiangang is an old monster over two hundred years old, will he still not be able to find a way?

Need him to be introduced here?

If there is a regret medicine in the world, Li Ming will definitely plunge into it now and directly support himself to death.

Unfortunately, there are no ifs.

Looking at Qin Mo, who did not back down at all, Li Tiangang snorted coldly and took the lead in looking away, and then he turned his head to look at Li Ming, glared and said:

"What are you looking at?"

Li Ming: "???? ”

He was dumbfounded, standing in place in a daze, feeling at a loss, not knowing what to do.

"This, I...... Ancestor, I'll ......" Li Ming stammered as he spoke.

Seeing this, Li Tiangang glared at him viciously again, and said in a shocking voice:

"What are you, what a fucking bullshit."

Before the words landed, he raised his hand to shake Li Ming is void, and then waved his arm towards the open floor-to-ceiling window.

Li Ming disappeared in an instant, far away, and didn't even say a word.

There were no ripples in the void, only a cold wind suddenly appeared from the floor-to-ceiling windows.

He was thrown out by Li Tiangang!

You must know that Li Ming has been promoted to the eighth order for a long time, his strength is very strong, and his genetic strength is special.

But in front of Li Tiangang, he didn't have the slightest ability to resist at all.

It is clear which is strong and which is weak.

This is the peak awakened person of the ninth order, only a thin line away from the Heavenly King, and has quite terrifying dominance in the S rank!

After casually swatting Li Ming out like a fly, the corners of Li Tiangang's mouth flashed with an undetectable smile, and he turned his head to look at Qin Mo, his head a little higher.

Young geniuses are arrogant.

This is even more true of a peerless genius like Qin Mo, who is once in a thousand years, and the eye contact of the right talent is enough to see it.

However, Li Tiangang believed that with his small display of talent, Qin Mo would definitely be stunned, and he would bow his head without saying anything, at least he was full of worship.

Now he just needs to stand still and wait for Qin Mo to respectfully serve a cup of hot tea.

Such a trick can be described as tried and tested in the years when he was not yet in the coffin, and he never failed.

Therefore, Li Tiangang is very confident.

Although he was entrusted by Li Muye to protect Qin Mo's safety, who is this uncle, he has to set the rules from the beginning.

Thinking like this, the smile on the corner of Li Tiangang's mouth became more and more intense, and he couldn't help but narrow his eyes, a little fluttering.

However, after waiting for a long time, the imaginary picture did not appear.

Li Tiangang looked down in confusion, and then the whole person was stunned in place, a little confused.

"Made, what about people???!"

His pitch was raised by three points, but it was hard to hide the emptiness in front of him.

The open floor-to-ceiling windows still blew a cold wind, swirling and blowing on his face, like a loud and loud slap, full of mockery.

At this time, Qin Mo had already returned to his own home in Guanghong Street.

He didn't bother to deal with Li Tiangang at all, which was really too naïve for him.

Li Tiangang got one thing wrong, that is, Qin Mo was not twenty-three years old as he seemed on the surface.

He has been a human being in two lifetimes, and he is in his fifties combined, and he is no longer a top young man.

Otherwise, how could Qin Mo just think about living a peaceful retirement life?

Therefore, he saw through Li Tiangang's inner thoughts almost in the blink of an eye and knew his intentions.

I have to admit that Li Tiangang's strength is indeed very strong, and Qingyang Li asked him to protect himself, and he does have the qualifications and skills.

However, Qin Mo would not get used to him.

Regarding Li Tiangang's behavior, he can only say:

"Oh, silly bird."
