In the quiet corridor, the faint lights flickered on and off, like candlelight, and several guards wearing uniform black uniforms and leather boots walked past in a straight line.

When they reached the end of the corridor, they all turned around, revealing the star pattern on their clothes.

Just as they expressionlessly turned around and walked in the direction they came from, at the end of the dark corridor, there was a face covered by shadows, and only the corners of its mouth could be seen faintly raised.

Swish!

A black figure passed by.

At a speed that was invisible to the naked eye, he passed through a door on the other side of the corridor without making any sound.

"Whoo~"

When the black figure reappeared, there was already an empty area around him. The man finally lifted the hat on his black robe, revealing his face.

He has dark blue broken hair, a dignified appearance, delicate features, a pair of blue pupils that are like a flash of cold stars, and an extraordinary temperament.

There is no one around, and there is transparent glass above the head, so there is sunlight shining down, but it can only make the center of the place densely filled with light, while the corners are still shrouded in darkness.

He walked up the steps and came to the middle of the open space. Feeling the warmth of the sun, he looked up and looked ahead, looking at something.

It turned out that there was a majestic mural in front of him.

This huge mural is thirty feet in diameter, with thick dust deposited in the gaps between the concave and convex lines. From this, it can be seen that this mural has existed for a very long time.

Paying full attention to this mural, you can feel its invisible grandeur and momentum, and its uncanny craftsmanship. It seems to be a barrier between illusion and reality, majestic and strange. Not only that, the pictures engraved on it are even more unimaginable.

A mysterious stone door is carved in the center of the mural. In front of the stone door is a long, narrow and mysterious star road. The star road paved with shining stars seems to lead people to the end of the sea of ​​​​stars - the stone door.

There seemed to be some kind of objects flowing around the stone gate. I couldn't see clearly. I only knew that there was something ethereal and vortex-like on the back of the stone gate. I didn't know if it was a black hole or a white hole, a space-time vortex, or the ultimate hole.

"Is it the truth of the universe?" The man in black robe muttered to himself.

He slowly moved his eyes fixed on the stone gate to the left.

What came into view was a huge planet. Because the mural had no color, the men in black robes could only recognize that it was a planet, but it was unclear whether it was the planet they were on.

On the left side of the planet, at the very edge of the mural, there is also a vortex, but compared to the vortex behind the stone door, this vortex is too small and can even be ignored.

Near the tiny whirlpool, for some reason, there were some crooked lines, which looked like flowing ripples or waving brush feathers.

On the right side of the planet, there is a broken crack. I don’t know whether it was originally like this or whether it was caused by improper repairs.

The bottom of the planet looked a little different. A black unknown object was stuck to it, and it was messy. It can be vaguely noticed that there seems to be an upside-down figure inside, but the specific appearance cannot be clearly seen.

This strange scene made the man in black robe frown, but in the end, he chose to look upward. On that planet, there are countless S-shaped lines surrounding it in a circle. Obviously, this is a sun, but it seems to be different from the sun, because the empty space in the middle is so big that it seems that a sun can be placed there. figure...

Just when the man in black robe was about to look at the other side of the mural, his eyes inadvertently glanced towards the bottom of the planet.

"what?"

His eyes were fixed on the space between the black unknown object and the planet. The confusing lines were piled up together. At first glance, they seemed to be nothing. However, after he stared at them for a long time, he realized that these lines seemed to be some figures, and they were vaguely It can be seen that it is exactly the opposite of the figure in the black unknown substance.

Looking at the lines that resembled figures, the man in black robe fell into deep thought.

"Is this hinting at something?" There seemed to be crystal light in his eyes.

Not sure how much time had passed, he turned his attention to the other side of the mural, only to find that the other side was divided into two halves by a huge crack, as if a natural chasm had intentionally separated the two places. This crack was diagonally downward from the upper right corner of the mural. The star road that was cut open and extended to the bottom of the stone gate disappeared.

The mural near the stone gate is relatively normal, with countless large stars shining brightly. The patterns of these planets are completely different from the planet on the left of the stone gate, and each of them is also very different.

Finally, when he looked at the cut piece, the man in black robe had a serious look on his face, because this mural could only be described as horrific. Countless small fragment-like objects shot out in all directions. The bottom was blazing with fire, and the top was lightning. There was only a shattered appearance and a shadow in the middle.

The solemn look of the man in black robe lasted for a long time. At some point, his eyes finally fixed on the stone door in the middle of the mural and murmured to himself: "Your goal should never be what you said. Maybe there will be a disaster in the future." It's coming soon, but your goal should be...this."

Da da da……

A burst of footsteps came from behind, very close at hand!

His pupils shrank, obviously not expecting someone to suddenly appear behind him, and he turned around suddenly.

A bright smile appeared in front of him, and the man in black robe subconsciously took two steps back.

"Don't be nervous. My name is Xiao Luo. I am not a member of this organization. As for what I am doing here... I am the same as you." The young man cast a warm look.

"You...are a member of the Viridian branch!?" the man in black robe said in disbelief, obviously recognizing the person.

"Yes, senior, you should be the one who once led the Changpan branch to glory... Xiyi!" Xiao Luo was always smiling and seemed not surprised that the other party knew his identity.

"How did you know? I remember... aren't you an ordinary guild member?" Xi Yi, the man in black robe, looked at him in surprise.

"Don't say that. What does it mean to be an ordinary guild member? It's really boring..." Xiao Luo did not answer Xi Yi's question directly. He walked around the other party and slowly walked to the mural.

"Is it the truth of the universe? Did anyone know that the world is composed of planets thousands of years ago? Hahaha, it's so interesting..." Xiao Luo crossed his arms over his chest, and then raised one hand to support his chin.

Xiyi frowned, turned to look at the equally handsome young man, and asked, "Do you have any other purpose for joining the Changpan branch?"

Xiao Luo didn't look back at the other person. He slowly stretched out his hand and gently touched the stone door on the mural with his slender fingers, but then retracted it reflexively like a dragonfly touching water.

"Uh-huh." He responded by rubbing his thumb with his index finger that touched the mural, wiping away the dust.

Xi Yi remained silent, causing the place to fall into silence.

Xiao Luo didn't care either. He looked at the mural in front of him, his deep eyes revealing complex, helpless, painful, sad and other emotions.

"So... is the mysterious truth like this?" He whispered and sighed.

After confirming that the boy in front of her was really not hostile, Xiyi came to his side and stared at the majestic mural with him, silently feeling his emotional changes.

The two of them were silent for a long time. Although their eyes stayed on the mural, their minds had already left.

After a long time...

"Aren't you curious, what is my goal in joining the Changpan branch?" Xiao Luo asked calmly.

"Is it because of the rather mysterious Kyoko?" Xiyi's expression did not change at all, as if he was like this.

"Mysterious... Kyoko? Yes, he is indeed quite mysterious." The corner of Xiao Luo's mouth was bitter, and he showed a forced smile.

"Do you know his situation?" Xi Yi asked.

"Where did he come from? Haha, I don't know much about it either." Xiao Luo shook his head.

Xiyi glanced at him meaningfully, and just as she was about to say something, the robe behind her rose up in the wind, swaying like a flag. He turned his head and looked behind him through the corner of his eyes, then jumped up again and jumped onto an extremely thick stone pillar in front of the mural.

"Then why are you speaking for him? Besides, you seem to have entered the guild before him." He said to Xiao Luo below.

Xiao Luo smiled indifferently and looked at the figure above that was wrapped in clear light and could not be seen clearly. He also jumped into the air, but he jumped to the stone pillar on the other side of the mural.

Gu</span> "You even know this. It seems that you have an informant in the guild."

"The guild is my second home. How could I say I'm abandoning the guild and really not care about it?" Xi Yi said with a smile, noncommittal.

He suddenly bent down and half-knelt on the top of the stone pillar.

Xiao Luo on the other side made the same movements at the same time with great understanding.

"Squeak~"

At this time, the door was opened and more than ten people walked in.

There are both men and women among them. There are noble and gorgeous women wearing expensive evening gowns, revealing a lot of white skin; there are also unshaven middle-aged men wearing tuxedos or special uniforms different from those of guards, showing high status.

It can be seen from their clothing that the identities of these people are extremely extraordinary. But for this group of people, they seemed to be in a hurry, and even a little nervous.

They walked up the steps and ignored the huge mural in front of them. Instead, they formed a circle and looked down at the white floor tiles in the center, where there was a circular pattern.

Among them, a middle-aged man looked at the others in disbelief. After everyone nodded, he took out an unknown object that looked like a mechanical glove, put it on his hand, and then slapped the circular pattern with his palm. .

"Didi didi...verification successful, identity: cadre. Name: Qian Ruyu..."

Next, others took turns putting on the unknown object and clapped their hands on it.

Snapped!

"Didi didi...verification successful, identity..."

This sound continued eleven times until the last person pressed his hand to the floor.

Snapped!

"Didi didi... the verification is successful. The twelve-star cadres have been gathered and the defense system will be shut down..."

boom!boom!boom……

A flat gap appeared on the floor, which slowly opened to one side, revealing a small space inside.

A crystal clear jade bead appeared in front of several people's eyes. It was filled with dazzling brilliance. There were countless dots on its surface, which looked like stars, which was dazzling.

This scene caused Xi Yi and Xiao Luo on the stone pillar to look at each other in unison. Their eyes met, and then they looked down together.

"Oh, I can only rely on it to get forgiveness from the adults." Qian Ruyu said.

"But I'm afraid... Your Excellency will be dissatisfied because of this!" A woman seemed to have thought of something, and her enchanting body trembled unconsciously.

"Even so, we still have to give it a try." Someone said firmly.

Finally, a few people picked up the crystal jade bead, and then walked cautiously towards the door, holding their breath and concentrating, but not daring to show any signs of neglect.

After they left, Xiao Luo and Xi Yi looked at each other again.

"Is this your goal too?" they said in unison.

As soon as they finished speaking, they came to their senses and quickly jumped down from the nearly 100-meter-high stone pillar. In mid-air, behind each of them, there was a looming figure.

After landing smoothly on the ground, the two of them followed the direction in which the others left without any conversation.

The terrain here is very complex, and the two of them are constantly shuttling in the darkness, like two black shadows, passing by. While avoiding the sight of the guards, they also need to ensure that they will not be lost.

The guard patrolling in the corridor felt a gust of wind blowing by. He touched his face and murmured to himself in confusion: "It's strange. There isn't even a window here. Where is the wind coming from?"

As he spoke, he yawned and put the question behind him.

……

After passing through corridors one after another, Xiao Luo and Xi Yi came to a corner and saw twelve people walking forward. The two of them did not act in a hurry.

Xiao Luo and Xi Yi were back to back, looking in different directions, and then looking behind each other at the same time.

Looking around vigilantly to make sure there was no spy, they all turned their gaze upwards, where was the ventilation duct.

Obviously, before entering here, the two of them had already explored the terrain almost completely.

"Can you?" Xi Yi's meaning was simple and clear.

"Humph, who are you looking down on?" Xiao Luo glanced at him and disappeared instantly. The figure had already reached the ventilation duct and climbed to the end.

"Hiding it so deeply?" Xi Yi didn't expect that besides Kyoko, there was such a genius in the guild. Whether it's speed or unknown strength, it doesn't seem to be much worse.

After just sighing, he also disappeared and appeared at the other end of the ventilation duct.

Although the space was narrow, it did not hinder their speed at all. With their agility, they had even overtaken the twelve people walking in the passage.

Coming out of the ventilation duct, Xiyi and Xiao Luo hid in the corner for the first time, using inexplicable power to cover their bodies. They looked at the situation in front of them, and they immediately discovered that there were strips of hair near the roof. Pipes as thick as tree trunks were connected and pressed against the walls.

They left quickly without hesitation, and in just a blink of an eye, they used their tall bodies to appear above one of the pipes.

Because the heights of these unknown pipes vary, with pipes close to the wall being lower, making this a perfect hiding place.

A large number of pipes covered the two people's figures, and also exposed a slight gap for them to observe the situation below.

Xiao Luo and Xi Yi waited for the twelve cadres who were walking. Finally, they waited for those people.

These people walked towards the front carrying crystal jade beads, and the two moved in the direction they left.

The pipe they were in went straight through several walls, taking them right behind the cadres.

Through the gaps between several pipes, Xiao Luo and Xi Yi discovered that these cadres were walking towards a gate inlaid with golden patterns in front of them.

The two of them looked at each other, both of them aware of each other's thoughts. Obviously, that... was the destination of these people.

Just from the golden lines and the heavy feeling of the door, you can feel that it is definitely not simple inside.

Xiao Luo and Xi Yi were above the pipe, moving forward at a rapid speed. During the whole process, they strangely did not make any movement. The same goes until you pass through the wall where the door is and enter the room behind it.

Xiao Luo, who was walking in front, looked back at Xi Yi. He pointed at his feet and made a stop-here gesture.

Xiyi nodded slightly and told the other party through lip language that this was exactly what he meant.

The strange thing is that despite their different communication methods, these two people can understand each other's meaning. They squatted down and looked down again through the gaps between several pipes.

But just then, they realized that the place they were in seemed unusual.
