Before Zhong Fanglin could answer, Huo Shen's gaze suddenly turned to Xiao Hanping.

"you again!"

He walked up to Xiao Hanping with strides, his face was as cold as ice: "What are you hiding?"

The chaotic hope surging in his chest was overwhelmed, wrapped in the pain of three years of constant searching and returning in vain, coiled together and circling in his heart, the coolness from his fingertips flowed into his limbs and bones, only his eye sockets were actually hot.

Zhong Fanglin tried to talk to him: "Huo Shen, you—"

However, Huo Shen could no longer hear other voices.

His eyes only reflected the shadow of the person in front of him, and he only wanted to hear an answer: "What is the relationship between you and Xiao Hanping, and when did he give you this mecha?"

"I don't know what Captain Huo is talking about."

Xiao Hanping moved slightly, and was about to turn around when he heard Huo Shen's sharp voice.

"Don't go!"

Huo Shen's eyes were filled with frosty cold air, he raised his hand and grabbed Xiao Hanping's collar, his body was obviously fluctuating with supernatural powers, "Do you want to avoid talking about it again? Today you must tell everything you know!"

The distance between the two was forcibly shortened by him.

Xiao Hanping didn't need to be deliberate, he could see his fist with white knuckles, which was trembling uncontrollably.

"Answer my question," Huo Shen's voice was hoarse again, but he forced himself to speak, "Xiao Hanping, where is he!"

Xiao Hanping raised his eyes and looked at him.

Caught off guard and bumped into this pair of surprisingly familiar eyes, it seemed that a heartbeat exploded the eardrums.

Huo Shen's chest suddenly felt sour.

His breathing was slightly disordered, and he unconsciously relaxed his strength.

"Huo Shen!" Zhong Fanglin interrupted Huo Shen's pressing question at the right time, she raised her hand to hold Huo Shen's forearm, "If you do this, he will not tell you the truth."

She thought that Huo Shen at this moment would not easily listen to other people's opinions, but she didn't expect that Huo Shen was stunned in place, and he didn't react until Xiao Hanping took two steps back and his palm was empty.

Seeing that the person in front of him turned into Zhong Fanglin, Huo Shen opened his mouth.

After a long time, his hand that was suspended in the air slowly tightened into a fist, and it fell to his side.

He finally realized his gaffe.

Zhong Fanglin looked at him and suddenly felt a sore nose.

It's not even a secret anymore.

The leader of the Daybreak Hunting Group, who has always been cold and calm, only encounters one thing that will make him lose his calm and make him unwilling to wait for a minute or a second.

As long as it is about Xiao Hanping.

Huo Shen's patience hanging on the line was all about holding on.

Seeing him depressed and disappointed several times, Zhong Fanglin was half distressed and half worried.

So she didn't want to see him fail this time again.

She suppressed her sadness, and gently persuaded: "Huo Shen, this matter cannot be rushed."

It was precisely because she guessed that he would have such a reaction that she planned to meet Ji Mingfeng alone.

It's just that it's a done deal now, so she can only try to ease his emotions.

"Maybe things are not what you and I think. You have seen that mecha too. It has not been used for many years. It is very likely that the warehouse manager saw that it had not been picked up for a long time and sold it privately—— "

Huo Shen interrupted her: "Does teacher really think so?"

Zhong Fanglin was stunned.

Hearing this sentence, she couldn't help tightening her hand holding the smart bracelet.

Of course she didn't think so.

Xiao Hanping is the student she values ​​and cares most about.

Huo Shen is still unwilling to face the fact.

It was a painful blow to her.

When the five major dungeons were attacked at the same time, Xiao Hanping fell together with the City of Aurora. When the news spread to the Hunting League, no one wanted to believe it was true.So does she.

At that time, she rushed to Shuguang with the search and rescue team regardless of the danger, but even the most advanced detectors could not find even a single sign of life in the entire city.

In the end, she only brought some things back from Xiao Hanping's residence as souvenirs.

This smart bracelet is one of them.

After three years, she suddenly found news about Xiao Hanping from her bracelet. From yesterday to today, she has not closed her eyes for a moment, nor has she stopped looking forward to it for a moment.

What if it is true?

What if the glimmer of hope that Huo Shen has been refusing to let go of for the past three years really exists?

So facing Huo Shen's question, Zhong Fanglin fell silent.

Huo Shen seemed to have regained his sanity.

His breathing gradually slowed down, and if he wasn't careful enough, he could barely see the shaking of his fist hanging by his side.

"Tell me, what is going on with this mecha?"

He looked at Xiao Hanping.

Once was a coincidence.

Twice is still a coincidence.

But there are too many coincidences accumulated on Ji Mingfeng.

"Tell me," Huo Shen looked at Xiao Hanping with a suppressed tone, "Any news is welcome."

Must be an illusion.

Xiao Hanping frowned slightly.

Otherwise, how could he see sincerity in Huo Shen's eyes.

Huo Shen always has an innate strength built up of talent and strength.

Xiao Hanping has never seen him bow his head to anyone, the harsh and domineering style just now is more like his style.

However, Huo Shen didn't finish his sentence.

"As long as you open your mouth, as a reward, I can promise you any request."

any request.

When these words came out of Huo Shen's mouth, the gold content was higher than that of the First Academy.

Although Xiao Hanping didn't intend to reveal his identity.

But Huo Shen's reaction surprised him.

From his point of view, this partner, who was becoming increasingly distant from him, might forcefully spare a few seconds after learning of his death to reminisce about the tacit understanding of fighting side by side in the past.But that's all.

The reality is far from what he imagined.

"Don't believe it?"

The only person in front of him who could bring clues remained silent. Huo Shen didn't show his face, and his heart was already unbearably anxious. He waved his hand to turn on the star network projection, and clicked to open the account balance, "As long as you tell me any news about Xiao Hanping, this All the contribution points in it belong to you."

The string of zeros in the balance record is dazzling.

This is a number that makes the system so excited that the code is messed up just by looking at it.

Huo Shen added: "If you are still not at ease, I can transfer the money first."

Zhong Fanglin couldn't help saying: "Huo Shen, don't be impulsive."

Huo Shen fixed his gaze on Xiao Hanping, waiting for the answer.

Xiao Hanping could tell that he was not impulsive.

He's just weird.

Huo Shen is still adding more: "I have a residence near the First Academy, it can be yours anytime."

Judging by his posture, he wanted to spend all his wealth in exchange for news that he couldn't tell the truth from the fake.

But the more he did this, the more suspicious Xiao Hanping became.

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation.

He had to figure out why Huo Shen would rather do this first.

"you--"

Huo Shen was about to speak again when a call notification suddenly sounded in the earphones.

He remembered something, picked up the phone, and without waiting for a voice from the other side, he said first: "I will withdraw from this operation, and I will arrange other people to lead Lixiao to rendezvous with the large army later."

Reminded by this sentence, Zhong Fanglin also remembered what day it was today: "Aren't you going to set off today to deal with the riots of the alien beast tide in the south? Aren't you going?"

That's exactly what the itinerary was supposed to do.

If it hadn't been for the phone call from Zhong Fanglin in the restaurant box yesterday, a seed had been planted in Huo Shen's heart, and he would have come to the First Academy in person before leaving, hoping to know about Zhong Fanglin's sudden appointment while saying goodbye. The reason for this is Ji Mingfeng.

Fortunately, the timing was just right, he arrived right after Xiao Hanping went upstairs.

Thinking of this, Huo Shen glanced at Xiao Hanping, and said coldly to the impatient person on the other end of the call: "Enough."

"Captain Huo—!"

"Even if today is the end of the world, I will not leave the Central Dungeon for half a step."

"But--"

The call ends here.

Within two seconds, Zhong Fanglin's incoming call notification sounded.

Knowing that Huo Shen must do what he said, Zhong Fanglin sighed, and simply adjusted the earphones to silent mode.

Huo Shen has already turned to Xiao Hanping: "How are you thinking?"

His composure now is vastly different from just now.

Xiao Hanping couldn't see what he was thinking, but the answer remained the same: "Captain Huo, I think you misunderstood, I have nothing to do with Xiao Hanping."

Huo Shen's eyes were sharp: "Then how do you explain this mecha?"

"This is my personal business."

Huo Shen concluded that he knew something, otherwise he would not be indifferent when faced with sufficiently moving conditions: "Did Xiao Hanping tell you that he didn't allow you to reveal his whereabouts to others?"

Xiao Hanping only said: "Captain Huo, as I said, I don't know Xiao Hanping."

Huo Shen didn't believe a word he said.

I don't know Xiao Hanping, but I have the same melee combat and mecha operation as Xiao Hanping, but there are mechas that Xiao Hanping personally stored in the warehouse, and even his body sometimes seems to carry Xiao Hanping's shadow.

This kind of thought made Huo Shen instinctively disgusted.

He wanted to see Xiao Hanping, but it didn't mean he wanted to see Xiao Hanping's shadow in others.Inferior imitation will only imitate Dongshi and make people disgusted.

The atmosphere is getting colder.

Conversation stalled.

Huo Shen always had limited patience with Xiao Hanping's affairs, worried that he would get violent, and Zhong Fanglin would speak out at the right time.

"Ji Mingfeng, what you know is very important to us. I understand that you may have concerns, but I really ask you, I hope you can tell me about this mech."

Facing a person with no background, she also kept her attitude to the lowest.

Xiao Hanping still seemed unmoved: "Sorry, Professor Zhong."

Zhong Fanglin wanted to say something, when Huo Shen suddenly said:

"If you don't want to say it now, I won't force you." Sensing that Xiao Hanping didn't want to be stubborn at all, he was not as irritable as Zhong Fanglin thought, but was very calm, "I can give you a day to continue thinking about it, the conditions remain the same, If you have other requirements, please let me know."

Zhong Fanglin was taken aback.

She didn't expect Huo Shen to let go.

Xiao Hanping quickly guessed what he was thinking, but he didn't reveal it: "Then now?"

"Please."

Watching Xiao Hanping's back gradually drifting away, Huo Shen pursed his thin lips.

"Huo Shen, what are you going to do?"

Huo Shen didn't answer, but dialed a message in front of Zhong Fanglin.

He simply ordered: "From now on, investigate all of Ji Mingfeng's movements at all costs. Everything is fine, even if he loses a hair, I will immediately know the length of the hair."

"Yes, Captain!"

"Also," Huo Shen frowned and added, "avoid the research institute."

"understand!"

Zhong Fanglin stood aside and watched him hang up the call with a complicated expression: "Are you still suspicious of Xue Yi?"

Hearing this name, Huo Shen's eyes turned cold: "Shuguang fell, and he was the only one who was unscathed in the same area. I don't believe in such a probability." He paused, "Furthermore, if he can live, Xiao Hanping will never die won't die."

Zhong Fanglin was speechless for a moment.

Ever since Xue Yi went to the City of Dawn back then, Huo Shen had always been critical of him. As far as she knew, he had quarreled with Xiao Hanping several times because of him.

She always thought that Huo Shen was only angry with Xue Yi because of Xiao Hanping's death.

But it turned out that at least half of his confidence came from Xue Yi.

"Huo Shen, you can't..."

Having said this, Zhong Fanglin stopped again.

Can't what?

Can't we keep rejoicing in vain with such a fluke?

She has said similar words too many times.

What's more, today, she finally got some clues, even she couldn't help having fantasies, so she had no position to persuade Huo Shen.

"Teacher, go and rest."

After finishing the words, Huo Shen had already walked to the window and stood still.

He also pointed down the blinds and watched Xiao Hanping who went out from the door towards the energy vehicle.

No one could see that the bottom of his heart was suppressed and full of madness at the moment, it was making huge waves, trying to break through the unwarranted shackles.

Huo Shen whispered:

"In any case, he must speak."

A full three years.

This is the only light that can be grasped.
