Bulwark of Light

Chapter 161 The Dead, Owl

Chen didn't open his eyes.

The world was spinning in front of him, his vision gradually changed from blurred to clear, and he saw three familiar faces.

Zhou Jiren, Nan Jin, Gu Shen.

The expressions on the faces of the three people are somewhat subtle, but they are roughly the same, with three points of concern and three points of compassion...

Gu Shen spoke.

"You finally woke up?"

The memory still stays at the moment when countless flames engulfed him.

Chen Mei seemed to have experienced a nightmare. He raised his hands suddenly, but found that he was still bound by the "holy wood". This struggle made him lose his center of gravity and almost fell to the ground. He didn't realize it until this moment. I realized that I was still in the interrogation room.

The incandescent lamp above the head has never been broken, and the floor is also very stable... The glass outside the interrogation room is coated with a layer of anti-light red silver, and everything here has not changed from beginning to end.

"This is……"

Chen didn't look astonished.

He could even hear his violent heartbeat when he was about to die, and if he remembered correctly, the last explosion wave shook him hundreds of meters... Then, it was the scene he saw when he woke up.

All this is a dream?

He couldn't understand all this.

He was very sure that the white shadow and the explosion that shattered the deserted building all happened for real... The side effects of using "Time Slow" by himself could still be clearly felt, as if the bones were torn apart.

But there was no pain from the explosion.

Chen didn't stare at Zhou Jiren, he could only understand all this as the old man's trick.

Mr. Shu was holding a cigar in his mouth and crossing his legs. His face was shrouded in mist, and he couldn't see the specific expression clearly, only the corners of his mouth were raised.

it is more than words.

"The matter of joining the special investigation team..."

Zhou Jiren asked politely, "How are you thinking?"

Chen didn't grit his teeth, his brows furrowed for a while...he still can't understand, is the explosion just experienced a dream, or real?
Had he been transferred to a brand new interrogation room, or had he never changed?

Memory is completely affected.

In this interrogation room, lost time, lost reference... He even began to suspect that everything now is false.

If all of this was just a dream, and it was the "ability" of that white shadow... then it can only be said that that guy's ability is too powerful for him to understand it at all.

In the last memory.

The shadow asked itself——

"Do you want to survive?"

Maybe... when he said survived, he didn't mean the explosion.

"If I join the special investigation team... will I be free?"

Chen did not hesitate for a moment, then said, "What do I need to do?"

"The answer is no." Zhou Jiren said flatly, "You don't need to do anything, just stay in the interrogation room."

Chen Mei was furious, with blue veins bulging on his forehead.

"Are you playing with me?"

Join the special investigation team and get locked in the interrogation room.

If you don't join the special investigation team, you will still be locked in the interrogation room.

What is the difference between these two options?
"No."

Zhou Jiren shook his head, "This is not a cage, but a barrier. Is there any place safer than staying here?"

"I don't think so."

Chen didn't sneer.

He hesitated for a moment, and said in a deep voice, "I can join the special investigation team, provided that I want to be free, and I don't want to stay here anymore..."

"Now I can identify Xiao Xiao's identity. I have seen his true face in the spiritual link, and he is the one in the photo you showed earlier."

"Zhou Yu?"

Gu Shen was a little surprised, what exactly did this guy go through, and his attitude now is completely different from before.

Mr. Shu looked indifferent, and was not surprised by Chen Mei's confession.

"very good."

He stretched out a hand and said calmly: "Congratulations, Chen Mei, you have officially become a member of the special investigation team. Everything we do is for one purpose...to kill Xiao."

……

……

Leave the interrogation room.

"You guys are a bit late. Just before that, Chen did not experience a nightmare."

Mr. Shu explained Chen Mei's confession: "In fact, he confessed once in his dream... That's why he confessed so cleanly this time."

I see……

Gu Shen nodded, he vaguely felt something was wrong.

If I remember correctly, the teacher should have gone to Huaqi Mansion today?
And the senior sister has been with her in the ward.

The location here is very hidden.

Apart from the three of us, there is no fourth person who knows... Even if there is, who else has the ability to hypnotize Chen Mei except the teacher?

What's more, the teacher is not a spiritual supernatural being.

He immediately thought of the "fantasy" he had experienced... Chu Ling has not returned to the link until now.

The scene of him driving away from Dadu to go to no-man's land to trade is still vivid in his mind, but when he turned around and woke up, he found that all this was just a dream.

This...seemed to be an extraordinary event.

He looked at Zhou Jiren suspiciously.

The latter flicked the soot calmly, "Deep Sea has linked to the Wuzhou database, re-edited the survival status of 'Zhou Yu', and included him in the list of S-class fugitives... In fact, there are still many files on 'Xiao' Doubtful. I don’t think Chen Mei’s identification is reasonable, and Zhou Yu has no reason to defect to the tribunal. He passed the rigorous assessment of the review team back then, and he is a young man with a good sense of morality and justice.”

"Like me?"

"Well...just like you, the roots are good and young, but a little poor." Zhou Jiren smiled and said: "If Zhou Yu needs to control the Long-term Foundation, then feigning death is not a good way to escape... He can completely keep the ruling. As an adjudicator, secretly manipulating the foundation and organizing extremist activities, it will be more convenient."

"That's right..." Gu Shen nodded and said, "If I were Zhou Yu, I wouldn't choose to feign death."

"Deep Sea gave an analysis. It believes that 'Xiao' can be 'Zhou Yu', but 'Zhou Yu' is not equal to 'Xiao'."

Nan Jin frowned.

"What does this mean...Xiao, maybe there is more than one person?"

"Inaccurate."

"Deep Sea believes that Xiaoxiao may not be just a person, but more likely...not a living person."

"A few years ago in Central Continent, there was a supernatural being of the trait system. His ability is called 'Fire Stealer', and he can steal different levels of superhuman quality only by meeting certain conditions..." Mr. Shu murmured: " I agree with Shen Hai's analysis, there is a high probability that Xiao is a trait-type transcendent, and his awakened power does not belong to the three-type, and it is probably able to steal the body."

Gu Shen's heart shuddered.

"You mentioned earlier that in Zhou Yu's daughter's dream, his face is missing... I guess, this may be the manifestation of Xiao Xiao's lack of ability." Zhou Jiren grinned and said: "Of course, these are all It's just my guess. I don't believe that there is a perfect ability in this world. Anyone who is extraordinary is not a god. According to my judgment, he can escape the pursuit of the deep sea for so many years... There is only one possibility—"

"He's a dead man."

……

……

(It's a feint, I don't know how many people have been hit, all in all... I still changed Chapter 2.)
