The weather today is not good.

The rain for two consecutive days washed the whole of Manhattan. The winter rain is colder than the snow. The brightly colored roofs and umbrellas on the ground contrast with the dark gray buildings standing in mid-air.

The bright lights in the office building couldn't dispel the gloom of the cloudy day, especially in Leilis's office, where the air pressure was extremely low.

Lelis is a boss who makes it difficult for his subordinates to grasp their emotions. He is the representative of "absolute rationality" inside Valhalla, like a perfectly constructed machine that can make the most reasonable judgments at any time.

What Leilis leads in New York is just a dispatching agency, which is responsible for coordinating the actions of various units. Its importance is self-evident. Compared with it, Berlin, which is still called "headquarters", is more like a symbolic level. Only the place has the function of the heart.

"After two days of searching, we didn't find the whereabouts of Secretary Qin. All the local monitoring that he might have appeared in had been destroyed, including all the clues inside his friend's room."

Ms. Simone Stark reported the situation to Leilis. Because of the sudden disappearance of Secretary Qin, she was temporarily dispatched to be in front of Leilis who was only in charge of financial affairs. She herself was extremely unwilling from the beginning. The department manager almost threatened her with death, she believed that she would never take over this hot potato.

"You mean he can disappear out of thin air?" Leilis said without any wavering in his tone.

Simone immediately explained: "No one can disappear out of thin air, we just can't find a breakthrough for the time being, and we need a little more time..."

"I don't have that much time for you." Leiris said almost heartlessly.

"But you can't always ask me to do something that I can't do at all," Simone is not an ordinary woman. Facing Leiris is more of a headache than fear, so she can still calmly support her at this moment. Argument to yourself, "If you think someone can do it, please tell me, I average nearly half a billion dollars a day for the organization, and I should be able to hire that talent."

The atmosphere suddenly became stalemate, but at this moment someone suddenly broke the deadlock, broke into the office impolitely and said directly: "I'm sorry, Miss Simone, uncle may really not have that much time for you."

When Simone turned her head, a young man in casual clothes was walking towards him. With a gentle smile on Chu Xinran's face, she looked particularly eye-catching.

As he walked, he took out a document and said, "I just came from Berlin, and this is what Elder Yuan asked me to hand over to you."

Since Simone was one level lower in terms of rank, this document was first handed over to Leilis for review, but Leilis didn't take it seriously at all and threw it aside.

"Don't you see what it is?" Chu Xinran asked.

"No need." Riley replied.

It's nothing more than a letter of accountability.

A few months ago, because the Presbyterian Court learned about the relationship between Qin Xiao and Gu Yan, Leilis was specially "reminded" once when he went to Berlin. Fortunately, he had already prepared to hand Qin Xiao over to Chu Xin. Ran took care of him, if he went to Berlin with him, he might be detained on the spot.

Leilis solemnly assured in front of the elders that Qin Xiao was definitely on his side, and he was willing to bear all the responsibilities if there were any irreparable consequences in the future.

In fact, over the years, New York and Berlin have never been as peaceful as they appear on the surface. There are not a few people who want to bring down Leilis. He had Mrs. Padma's blessing before to stabilize those people. Now that Padma passed away so short Some people can't sit still for a long time, and the development of the situation is not unexpected.

Padma has lived too long, and if someone loves her, someone must dislike her. Everyone wants to have her status, but no one can replace her position as the spiritual leader.

At least not in Leiris' eyes.

Leiris looked at Simone and said, "If you don't want to see me, you can go back to your own post."

Surprised by the sudden surprise, Simone was also a little apprehensive, she hesitated and said, "But you have to be around..."

"There are already people." Leilis said meaningfully.

Chu Xinran looked left and right, stretched out his hand tentatively, and slowly pointed at himself.

Both looked at him.

"Impossible," he immediately refused, "I have something to do in New York."

"This is an order." Lelis said coldly.

Simone blinked at him, threw all the documents in her hand on him, and walked away happily without any nostalgia.

"You're so unpopular," Chu Xinran complained directly, "I really don't know how you got to be in this position."

Leiris replied with a bit of self-mockery: "You don't know?"

"How do I know..." Chu Xinran suddenly thought of something, and just swallowed the words.

Many people said that Leilis was able to take a high place in the organization and gain a firm foothold at such a young age. It was inseparable from Mrs. Padma, because Mrs. Padma had been educated in the Sacred Heart Orphanage for a period of time. Mother, so many people think that the Sacred Heart Orphanage is a place where she cultivates her cronies.

When Shen Shinian first joined the organization, he was treated like this by many people, but his outstanding performance made everyone change their attitude involuntarily.

But Leilis obviously didn't have this opportunity to perform.

"Is the position of personal secretary very important?" Chu Xinran took the initiative to change the subject.

"It's very important," Lelis said with a straight face, "I need someone to make me tea."

Chu Xinran was taken aback, pointed at the wall and said, "Are you kidding me? There are at least three assistants sitting outside who can make you tea!"

Leiris leaned back slowly, leaned back on the chair and raised his chin: "Otherwise."

"...What?" Chu Xinran became even more confused in an instant.

So he was really kidding himself?

"Whenever your brain is as big as your temper," Leilis stared at Chu Xinran mockingly, "Perhaps I should be thankful that you never let me down in terms of letting me down. Pass."

Chu Xinran kicked away the chair in front of him, put one hand on the desk, and turned over everything on the desk with the other hand, and suppressed his anger to Leilis: "I really have something to do when I come to New York. If you're in a bad mood and want to find someone to make fun of, it's better to change to another one."

After finishing speaking, Chu Xinran straightened her back and walked out without looking back.

The office was terribly quiet, and Leilis watched him leave like an ice sculpture, with an unwavering expression.

Only when he got up and picked up the photo frame that was overturned by Chu Xinran from the ground, could a tiny gap be cracked.

In the photo, he is standing under the tree of the Sacred Heart Orphanage with the kitten named Rhine in his arms. The sun is warm and bright.

He left many photos in the Sacred Heart Orphanage, but only this one was sent to him, because all the previous ones were part of the monitoring report, and were sealed in the file together with the gloomy past.

Photos can record many things, but only the person in the photo remembers what he saw at that time. Leiris always remembers that the woman holding the camera was wearing a nun's clothes and kept instructing him how to smile, but because he always He refused to cooperate, and even made the gesture of hugging his hair reluctantly. In the end, he was forced to leave this photo that seemed quite flawed at the time.

After picking up the photo frame, Leiris didn't continue to place it on the table, but stuffed it into a drawer, then tidied up his sleeves, and glanced at the time by the way.

almost.

He thought to the gloomy sky outside the window.

In the suburbs, a modified pickup truck is driving lumberingly on the deserted road, with abandoned factories on both sides, and the rust has turned an almost crimson color under the washing of rain.

In the car, Ethan's eyes were blindfolded and his lips were tightly pursed, while Gu Yan sat quietly beside him without any unnecessary movements.

"No..." Ethan said, "You should turn left at the last intersection."

"We've been back three times," Victor said from the driver's seat, "left or right."

Victor is the reliable teammate that Shen Yao arranged for Gu Yan. His style of acting has always been vigorous and resolute. This is the first time he has shown impatience in a long time.

But this is no wonder to him. Ethan said that every time he went to see God, he was taken like this. In his situation, even if Gu Yan used the method of reading memory, there was nothing he could do about it. After all, even he himself What you don't know, you can only slowly piece together the route at that time through trying again and again.

It was an extremely long process, and they spent almost all of their time on it for two days, but the progress was very small. After the patience was exhausted, the Russian brother's violent temper was revealed.

"If you dare to trick us, I'll put a gun in from below and pierce your intestines," Victor threatened coldly.

Ethan was trembling with fright, crying and said, "I really don't remember...the god knows what the hell it is...you guys kill me, I really don't know..."

Gu Yan sighed, and said helplessly, "Let's do it again, this time go to the left."

The chances of finding clues in this way are very slim, and this is also a helpless move. It has to be said that Shen Shinian has thoroughly grasped his abilities, and completely avoided all the information he can look up through other people's memories.

Gu Yan's mental power seems to be perverted, but its limitations are also fatal. The city model he built is composed of the memories of thousands of people, but if this person does not exist in everyone's memory, then the model will There will be no shadow of him.

Shen Shinian has been working as a hunter all year round, and no one knows how to deceive others better than him. It is an easy task for him to disappear from the public eye.

In the past two days, Gu Yan began to recall everything that happened that night. He guessed that Shen Shinian should have woken up before he left, or that he didn't sleep at all that night.Both of them were waiting for the other to fall asleep first, and Gu Yan's departure should not have been in his calculations, which made it easier for him to act.

Lovers are the most taboo to conceal things. Although they decide to stand on the same line, they have to stop each other for various reasons beyond their control.

When Gu Yan returned to the hotel that day and found that Shen Shinian was not there, his first reaction was to look for him. That night, he took Ethan, an important person, hostage. At this time, as time went by, he became calmer and more thoughtful. more and more.

For example, should he respect Shen Shinian's wishes and let Shen Shinian solve everything by himself.

"I have a question," Victor said suddenly, "Since even this person doesn't know where the so-called God is, others probably don't either. The person we're looking for may not necessarily be in the right place."

What he said was indeed reasonable, and Gu Yan had also thought about this issue.

"No...he knows..." Ethan said tremblingly, "He knows that person, I'm sure, he must know where God is!"

The author has something to say: Gu Yan: How many gods do you know? !

Let me give you a rundown:

No. [-] God and the Only True God: Gu Chen

No. [-] God and Son of God: Gu Yan

No. [-] God · Sister who is still a child: Gu Wen

So is the god mentioned by Ethan one of the above, or someone else?
