"Child," the old man looked at her with pity, "I am only a subset of Guan Yushan's consciousness world, and if Guan Yushan leaves too quickly, I will be responsible for saying goodbye to you for him." ”

"Don't." Guan Xinyue cried stubbornly and said, "Don't say goodbye. Even if it's a part, don't go, stay with me! ”

Luo Qi secretly turned his eyes away, he couldn't stand this scene, he saw Guan Xinyue crying many times, but only this time he cried so badly, he couldn't help but feel dull. He can understand Guan Xinyue's persistence, for the lost relatives, even if they can only keep a part, it is better than completely untraceable.

He lowered his head and heard the old man's voice say with regret, "Xinyue, although this crystal is a good energy body, it is only enough to maintain my consciousness for a short period of time, and I will dissipate soon." Moreover, death is meant to be so, you should understand. You've grown up, haven't you? ”

Guan Xinyue cried so much that she couldn't speak, and the old man said again, "Seeing these outstanding mages, I think you have not only grown up, but also found your own friends. Otherwise, I really can't feel at ease with leaving a granddaughter who likes it so much. Your grandmother used to say that not knowing is a blessing, but you have to figure out everything, and being too smart will always add endless troubles. ”

Roach looked up and saw the old man looking at his granddaughter helplessly and worriedly, "When you stare into the abyss, the abyss is also staring at you." Do you remember this phrase? ”

Guan Xinyue choked up and refused to answer, Luo Qi sighed beside him, but the old man's ethereal gaze was cast at him, and he was stunned for a moment. The old man continued quietly, "When fighting monsters, beware of becoming monsters yourself. ”

Luo Qi thought of the few small pieces of consciousness of the old man he had devoured, and moved his butt in his seat uncomfortably, knowing that he had not really eaten something in his stomach, but he was still a little sick to his stomach.

"My life has come to an end, in fact, there is nothing to regret, the next thing is the career of you young friends." The old man said.

Luo Qi hurriedly raised his head again, and the old man smiled kindly and looked at them carefully one by one. "I would like to express my gratitude on behalf of Guan Yushan for your care of Xinyue. This storage crystal contains some data from my work, and I hope you can pass it on to Master Pei Shu of Qionglin on your behalf. ”

"I will." Du Zhengyi said.

The old man glanced at Guan Xinyue again, "Most of my work data has been encrypted, and the key is in Guan Xinyue's hand, but she doesn't know what the key is." So please send the crystal over to Pei Shu along with Guan Xinyue, she will definitely help Qionglin Arithmetic Decryption. ”

Luo Qi suddenly realized that this was actually a protective lock that the old man had added for his granddaughter, and he might have thought that the person who would find Guan Xinyue and receive the crystal in the future should be Pei Shu, so in the world of consciousness, he would attack the strange mage who opened the storage crystal. Storing fragments of thought with active thinking abilities as a lock for crystals may seem a little cruel, but it is really effective. This is actually a high-intelligence lock, although the preset behavior is to attack a mage other than Pei Shu, but once he sees that his granddaughter's consciousness is safe and stable, this lock immediately makes a more advanced decision.

He pondered and blurted out, "Master Guan, are you working for Master Pei?" ”

The old man's smile widened, "I've been working for him for almost a century. ”

Du Zhengyi was just about to speak, but Luo Qi suddenly added another sentence without a head, "Don't you feel lonely when you wait in the crystal?" The time inside doesn't seem to be the same as the outside world? ”

The old man smiled, "I don't have that part of consciousness, I don't have the mental parts that produce negative emotions and why people are human. ”

Roach opened his mouth, realizing that he had nothing more to ask. He glanced at Guan Xinyue, and she really heard it, although she was still crying, her attachment to this phantom Guan Yushan seemed to have eased a lot.

Du Zhengyi glared at the nonsense Luo Qi, and continued to say what he was about to say just now, "Pei Shu is in retreat now, I am his student, and I was sent by him to work in his place. ”

The old man showed a clear expression and nodded slightly to Du Zheng. "The crystal stores some information about the Lotus Burner that I have traced, but unfortunately I haven't had time to record a lot of information yet."

"Do you mean that the real culprits behind the Lu Jinfeng case and Guan Ya's case are all lotus burners?" Du Zhengyi asked.

"I've found some evidence, but the chain of evidence is far from complete, so I still don't draw conclusions here." The old man said calmly. "As I said, the rest is the career of you young people."

Du Zheng nodded in understanding.

Guan Xinyue hurried up and said, "Grandpa, you shouldn't know about Xinchen's disappearance, right?" ”

"Lu Xinchen is missing?" The old man asked a little sadly.

"Yes." Guan Xinyue said that now she can also see that this person is not her grandfather, and he is missing many parts. Now she understands that her grandfather's irritable irritability and joyful shortcomings that cannot be completely restrained, although she used to look upset at that time, but now she thinks about it is indeed the most precious truth and vividness.

"Master Guan," Luo Qi couldn't hold back any longer and asked, "Is Lu Xinchen also a telepath?" ”

"Yes." The old mage nodded.

Roach took a breath, "Then why didn't you report her identity?" ”

The old mage pondered for a moment, and for the first time showed a confused expression, as if this part of his consciousness was broken. Luo Qi speculated that this part of the memory, the real Guan Yushan must not have been recorded in detail. In the end, the old mage said the result of his thoughts, "Pei Shu knows. ”

"Who would want to take advantage of Lu Xinchen?" Roach didn't find an answer, and said impatiently, "Although telepaths are scarce, there are actually a lot of them, and they will not lack people who will work for them." It is unlikely that Lu Xinchen will work for the people who killed his parents and grandfather, so what did they take Lu Xinchen for? What secrets would a child like Lu Xinchen know? She's not an adult yet, and she hasn't even started college yet! ”

"I don't know." The old mage finally said helplessly.

Roach shrank back in frustration and muttered, "Maybe we'll be able to find some trace in the declassified documents." ”

"Maybe." The old mage said, his loving gaze turned to his granddaughter again, "Finally, I have one more word to tell you on behalf of your real grandfather that blood is meaningless, that you have been my favorite granddaughter since the first day I held you in my arms as a baby. ”

Guan Xinyue looked at him, her eyes were full of tears again, and she whispered in a hoarse voice, "Thank you, thank you for always loving me, thank you for always being with me." ”

Several men didn't speak again, and Guan Xinyue said a lot more and asked a lot of questions, until the energy of the crystal gradually decreased.

When Guan Yushan finally disappeared, Du Zheng turned his head and saw Luo Qi's deer eyes full of tears at a glance, and was startled, "Damn, you are still crying?" ”

Roach glared at him, got up silently, and walked out alone.

Du Zheng looked at his back suspiciously, and the mahjong who had been silent laughed, "I was scratched by my own cat." ”
