Li Chengtian stood alone at the door of the store, looking at the sign that Li Muhan had reinstalled and smiled helplessly.

It seems that it is not so easy to leave.

At this moment, he suddenly felt a force approaching rapidly from behind.

The moment he turned around, a hand grabbed his neck and pressed him back to the floor of the store.

"Li Chengtian, you made it so hard for me to find you!!"

The voice was filled with anger and resentment.

Li Chengtian was pinched by her neck and pressed to the ground, leaving him no room for resistance.

Now he is just an ordinary middle-aged man. Years of mental illness and the battle in the underworld have completely drained his strength. At this moment, he is no match for the visitor.

The girl put her face close to Li Chengtian's and stared at his right eye.

"You've been hiding from me for so many years! Hahahahaha, I can finally kill you with my own hands!"

"...Suzaku..." Li Chengtian squeezed out the name hoarsely.

"Yoho?! You're not crazy anymore!? You recognized me?! That's even better! It would be boring to kill a madman! But before I kill you, give my sister's eyes back to me first!"

Her hand was about to cover Li Chengtian's right eye.

"Okay, let him go and don't do anything to him."

A faint female voice came from outside the store.

Zhuque smacked his lips in dissatisfaction, then grabbed Li Chengtian by the collar and dragged him up from the ground.

Li Chengtian saw the girl in blue walking gracefully into the store.

"Kneel down!" Zhuque kicked Li Chengtian on the broken leg, causing Li Chengtian to kneel on the ground in pain.

"I said, don't do anything to him."

The girl in blue pulled a chair and sat in front of Li Chengtian.

Zhuque folded his arms across his chest and sat on the chair behind Li Chengtian.

"First of all, welcome back, Li Chengtian."

"......Blue Dragon Saint." Li Chengtian slowly raised his head and looked at the girl in green.

"Are you here to get your eyes back?"

"This time..."

"Huh!? Do you think it's that cheap?!" Zhuque stood up again and grabbed Li Chengtian's hair.

But the next second, she was punched in the face by the girl in blue and flew out of the store.

"I'm talking! I've told you many times! Don't interrupt me!" The veins on the forehead of the green-clothed girl were exposed, and she shouted angrily at Zhuque who fell to the ground with his butt sticking up outside the door.

"...ok."

Zhuque trembled, raised his hand and made an OK sign.

The girl in green turned around slowly and showed that gentle expression to Li Chengtian again.

"Sorry...my sister is too rebellious. I have to use some slightly...rough methods."

......A trace of cold sweat seeped out of Li Chengtian’s forehead.

That punch just now was not aimed at my sister, it was aimed at my enemy.

"Ahem, sorry, that's where I was just now. Oh, actually..." The girl in green sat down again.

"I'm not here to return my eyes to you this time." The girl's words made Li Chengtian slightly stunned.

"I gave you my eyes so that I could use your body to see some things clearly. Now, I think I have seen clearly."

The girl's words shocked Li Chengtian.

Back then, she deliberately let herself take away his eyes...

"I expected Moriarty to capture you. There is no way she would let go of the experiment she had created for so many years. But I don't know if she considered that you could be awakened by Li Muhan."

The girl in blue shrugged.

"After all, Li Muhan is a surprise to all of us. He is not controlled by anyone, and those who want to control him will not have a good ending."

"...Yulong, what exactly do you want to do?"

Li Chengtian said while enduring the severe pain in his right leg.

"Perhaps you were not aware of it at the time, but I saw it. I saw... the aura on Moriarty. That was the aura of the Heart of the World."

"You already know this, right? Moriarty is the spokesperson created by the World Heart. His purpose is to completely format this world. He doesn't belong to humans, nor to aliens."

The girl shook her head slightly.

"No, I not only saw the Heart of the World, my eyes can see through everything. My consciousness passed through her body and saw the Heart of the World. I also saw the tree that created Tai Sui and Moriarty. Then, I was deep in the roots of that tree..."

She slowly leaned forward and approached Li Chengtian: "I saw... the tree is not rooted in this world, its foundation..."

"On the other side of the rift."

Li Chengtian slowly widened his eyes.

"The core of this world...is rooted on the other side of the rift. What you mean is..."

"The rift is assimilating this world. Think about it, if this world really loses its protection, the rift will expand wildly. By that time, do we really have a chance of winning?"

The girl raised her hand and gently stroked Li Chengtian's right eye.

"Li Chengtian, I have suspected Moriarty for a long time. What I can see with my eyes is different from others. This is my characteristic as the guardian of the East. Now... I want you to think about it carefully."

"That tree, where is it? I can only see it, but I don't know its location. And you have been to that tree in person, you have touched that tree, and you have been baptized by it, Li Chengtian, now... tell me."

As her slender hands gently stroked him, Li Chentian's right eye radiated a green light.

"Where is that tree, the heart of the world."

"..." Li Chengtian's lips moved slightly, his other eye began to become bloodshot, and blood began to seep out of his ears and nose.

Qinglong looked at all this with an empty gaze. Suddenly he sighed and then withdrew his hand.

Li Chengtian lay on the ground gasping for breath as if he had been pardoned.

"......never mind."

The girl in blue turned and walked out of the store.

"You may not be able to give me an answer right now. Rather than letting the wandering soul that Li Muhan tried so hard to find die, it is better to... just take care of yourself."

"Yulong..." Li Chengtian looked up and called the girl weakly.

"Won't you take your eyes back?"

The girl slightly tilted her eyes, her right eye still covered by her bangs.

"Keep it. It can help you live longer. I don't need that little bit of time, human."

After saying that, Qinglong stopped talking. She walked out of the store, grabbed the back of the collar of Suzaku, who was still lying on the ground, and walked towards the other end of the dark street.

"Sister, is this really okay? Is this a chance to get an answer?"

Yu Long did not answer. She had a blank expression on her face, as if she herself did not know what consequences this decision would bring: "There will always be a way..."
