"Gods?"

"Gods. A deity related to the origin of the ancestral soul, or one of many deities related to the origin of the ancestral soul. Dumfrey said, "That's all I know. As for the connection between star fruit and this incident - all I know is that she can't die. ”

Li Qingyan looked at him. Suddenly smiled: "So now you are going to convince me with something like 'god'? No one has ever seen anything that exists only in legends for thousands of years?"

Dumfrey hissed in severe pain: "Otherwise, what do you think? How did your demon clan suddenly appear? In the history of 5,000 years ago, there was no such thing as an animal opening a psychic mind, and at that time, people had no supernatural powers or abilities—we all know that ancient myths and legends are just legends." ”

"It was only at that point in time that five thousand years ago that the ancestral soul suddenly appeared—the Asian government has been studying this matter for a long time, haven't you ever thought about it?!"

Li Qingyan smiled: "I just didn't think that a soulless girl born on the May Fourth Farm would have anything to do with such a thing as God. And - what is the Goddess of Fertility project in America?"

"Having said that, that's all I know. The government of Asia wants to know about it, too!"

Li Qingyan pondered for a while: "You still haven't been able to convince me. Because there's another question -- if you care about the girl's safety, and you think I'm a dangerous person, why don't you notify the CIA? So I'll hand you over to the CIA people in a moment, and you can go and convince them slowly. ”

He said this and went to grab Dunfrey's hair.

But the white immediately shouted, "Don't do anything stupid!

Li Qingyan's hand touched his hair and stopped: "Huh?"

"I'm going to take matters into account for you instead of informing the Secret Service because someone on your side has defected!" Dunfrey gasped, "Come to think of it, I know the news of star fruit, you know, but the people in the Secret Service don't know, why? Because your top government has realized that there is a deep lurking person within the Secret Service who has thrown himself into America—this kind of thing is not uncommon in the intelligence service—so the Secret Service doesn't know about star fruit." ”

"You're doing something stupid by handing me over to them now!"

Li Qingyan opened his mouth to speak, but Dumfrey took the first step: "If you don't believe it, go and ask Lin Xiaoman-that old classmate of yours, Lin Xiaoman, the stationmaster of the European Station of the Zongdao Bureau! I am her fiancé!"

Li Qingyan was stunned for a moment.

Dumfrey let out a sigh of relief: "Xiao Man doesn't want you to know. Why should I get rid of you? Because I know that Xiao Man has a deep affection for you—if she knew about it, she would be indecisive and even violate her principles. You have a special place in her heart...... But that's why I can't tell you to hurt her!"

Li Qingyan slowly withdrew his hand and stood up straight. Look at him condescendingly for a moment: "Okay." I believe what you say. You're not stupid enough to joke about things you can figure out with a phone call. ”

"But you think I'm a big bad guy and beg me for mercy? Lin Xiaoman wouldn't like this kind of person. ”

"Because now I realize that you may not be - just as you're going to hand me over to the CIA. Dumfrey gritted his teeth and propped himself up, "It could have been a misunderstanding...... I thought you were the one who was deeply hidden and surrendered. Come on...... I'm bleeding. ”

Li Qingyan looked at him for a while, and spread his hands: "I can't help it." ”

"I have a way......," Dumfrey gestured toward the river, "bring that to me." ”

Only then did Li Qingyan notice that there was a white thing on the breakwater by the river. He hesitated for a moment and walked over. Dumfrey still sat on the ground and did not escape.

So he picked it up and found it to be a silver box. Without saying a word, he walked back and threw it at him.

Dumfrey opened the flat box with a trembling hand. There are quite a few small lattices inside, which seem to hold various materials. Li Qingyan realized that this should be the "magic box" of the Hermetic monks.

Unconcerned by his eyes, Dunfrey dipped his three fingers in each of them, knotted his mudras, and began to hold the spell. Li Qingyan sensed that the spiritual power around him was beginning to flow—and he took a step closer to Dunfrey, so that he could raise his hand and pinch his head at any moment.

It's not an assault or a ban. The spiritual power converged on Dumfrey's body, and his wounds began to converge and heal. His shattered shoulder blades and leg bones even began to squirm - Dumfrey himself should have been in great pain, but the expression on his face didn't change.

Li Qingyan thought for a moment, and suddenly stretched out his hand and flicked Dunfrey's fingers.

The mantra-wiring handprint was disturbed, and the spiritual power was scattered. Dumfrey's face flushed, his throat rattled, and he retched. Then he turned his face to Li Qingyan and glared angrily: "What are you doing!? This will turn ...... the other."

He couldn't help but retched twice: "...... Backlash!"

"Isn't that fine? Li Qingyan smiled faintly, "And you're no longer bleeding." You'd better be crippled for a while before I trust you completely, so I don't worry about what you're going to do again. ”

Dunfrey stared at him for a moment, the anger on his face dissipating. He sighed, "Okay. Xiao Man said that you have rejected her several times, and I thought you should have no other feelings for her. Not necessarily—"

Li Qingyan half-squatted down in front of him, lowered his head and looked him in the eyes: "It has nothing to do with these things. Now let's talk about another topic...... What is the skill that you're showing?"

He pointed to the bridge with flames and smoke: "How?"

Dunfrey was stunned and said, "These sacrifices are inevitable. To kill you...... It is impossible to be without civilian casualties. Since you're in this business, you should know—"

"You know that's not what I'm asking. ”

Dunfrey was silent for a moment, then looked at him with a sigh: "Xiao Man said that you are a gentle gentleman. A gentleman should not ask someone about their supernatural powers, supernatural abilities, or secret methods. This kind of thing is very taboo even in mainland China. ”

Li Qingyan grinned: "She's not wrong. I don't like to argue with other people, and I don't like to meddle with things. ”

"But not because I'm particularly noble, but because I'm not interested in most of the things you care about. But now I'm interested in your abilities—tell me about it. When I'm done, I'll send you to heal. ”

Dumfrey let out a sigh of relief, "Okay. In fact, it is only to satisfy your curiosity - this is a method of practice of the Hermetic school. By resonating with spiritual power, changing the movement of tiny objects walks—ah...... Well. ”

Li Qingyan pinched the little finger of his right hand, which he couldn't move, and smashed it.

"It's because of those car accidents on the bridge. "It's also because you won't tell the truth." Dumfrey, I rarely have the most intense desires. But once you have it, and you can't satisfy it, something terrible happens. I've avoided this for years, and I promise you won't want to see it happen to you. ”

"Now let's start again - what's going on?"
