"I remember this is here," Ethan said distressedly, "I have tried so many times, and I will definitely not make mistakes again... Those people brought me to this place."

"But there's nothing here except a broken warehouse," Victor said, "That warehouse can't be the church you mentioned, can it?"

"...other than that, I don't know where else to go." Ethan pulled his hair, and the long-term mental pressure had made him stand on the verge of collapse, and he almost said these words in a crying voice.

Victor looked at him coldly, and didn't speak any more. He has always played a cold role, and occasionally he would spit out a few connotative slots with his Master of Philosophy ability, and remained silent most of the time. of.

Maybe it's because things haven't made any progress after a few days of busy work, and Gu Yan has more time to be silent. For example, now, the pickup truck is parked by the river in front of the warehouse, and he smokes alone facing the morning breeze, gradually The rising sun stained his slightly tired face red.

This scene seems familiar.

He remembered that when he was in Yucheng, he and Shen Shinian watched the sunrise together like this, and he also remembered the moment when the other party used that little magic to light a fire for him.

Ethan, who stayed on the pickup truck, looked at Gu Yan's back with almost fearful eyes. What happened in the past two days was completely beyond his cognition. He didn't know who this person was, but he knew that this person and The gods in his memory are very similar.

In the beginning, the believers of God did not have their own names. The believers recruited members everywhere. Ethan was introduced by a friend. At first, it was only out of curiosity. A god who disappeared inexplicably.

As for the Key of Truth, it was just an organization that came out to deceive God in the name of God after his disappearance. Almost all the gangs Ethan belonged to were genuine believers, so naturally they would not believe their tricks and lies. incidents of public brawls.

"Please let me go..." Ethan shrank his neck and said, "I haven't found anything after searching for two days. Maybe I really can't help you..."

"No, you helped a lot," Gu Yan came back at some point, opened the car door, sat on it, and said, "I already know who he is."

Ethan was stunned: "...What do you mean?"

"I said, I already know who the god you are talking about," Gu Yan repeated, "He is actually not difficult to recognize."

"You know him!" Ethan said excitedly, "How did you know him?"

Gu Yan shook his head lightly: "It's a long story."

"Then why did you..."

"Just get out of the car and smoke a cigarette," Gu Yan said, "And I'm really worried, since it's that person, don't think about finding him so easily."

"why?"

"Maybe he's dead," Gu Yan paused, and then said, "Victor, can you send him back first?"

Victor immediately became alert: "What about you?"

Gu Yan's eyes drifted out of the car window, not intending to answer this question.

After wandering around for so long, Gu Yan returned to Manhattan, walked through the bustling crowd, and walked into a building on Wall Street.

Among a group of financial people who have turned to leather shoes, he dressed like a cleaner. Fortunately, his appearance was excellent, and he was not kicked out as a suspicious person when he walked in, but he was not far from being kicked out. Because he doesn't have a pass.

"I'm here to find someone." Gu Yan patiently explained to the front desk.

"Do you have an appointment?"

"No," Gu Yan said, "Please call me, he must really want to see me."

The front desk hesitated for a moment, then asked again: "Who are you looking for?"

"Qin Xiao," Gu Yan said, "I'm his friend."

The expression on the receptionist's face instantly became surprised, and he quickly dialed a phone number, covered the receiver and said something, his brows were furrowed tightly, and his fingertips trembled a little.

Gu Yan waited for a few minutes, and saw a few men in black coming out of the elevator, and the leader asked him, "Excuse me, are you looking for Secretary Qin?"

Gu Yan nodded.

Several people looked at each other, tensed up unconsciously, and quietly surrounded Gu Yan, and the person just now said: "Secretary Qin is not in the company now, we can take you to the lounge first."

In the past few months, the hunters chasing and killing him have become more and more troublesome. The ones in New York are so polite. Gu Yan is a little unaccustomed to be so oblique, so he said directly: "May I meet your boss first?"

The men looked at each other, Gu Yan smiled and said, "Then I'll wait for him in the lounge."

When Leilis received the news, he was having an interview with a banker from Switzerland. Most of the Chu family’s property was related to the bank. Chu Xinran was obviously not the type to deal with cunning bankers, so Leilis naturally took over the family All industries.

He was adopted by the Chu family, and this matter was inevitably criticized by others, but Leilis never explained anything to others, probably because in his eyes, bankers are cuter than those people, after all, he loves money and benefits People who have nothing to do are better dealt with than people who have nothing to do.

The hurried-looking assistant came over and interrupted their conversation. He thought something serious had happened, but only after hearing this did he realize that the situation was more urgent than he had imagined.

The person they had been following for so long had actually fallen into a trap.

After the banker was sent away, Leilis made urgent arrangements for related matters, and the whole building instantly entered a combat state. Ms. Simone who rushed over suggested that he bring some self-defense weapons, but he directly rejected it.

"You really think these things are useful to him?"

Simone was puzzled: "Since it's useless, why did you arrange so many snipers?"

"Because I've been paying these snipers six years ago, and this is their first time working."

No one would be so stupid as to attack them directly here, not even the lunatics of the Staff of God. Lelis is someone they can't figure out. He is obviously a rationalist, but when it comes to madness, he can be more insane than anyone else. No one can guarantee whether there will be a nuclear bomb launcher hidden under this building.

Leiris straightened his cuffs and said slowly, "And he will take the initiative to come to us, he must have come to negotiate terms, at least the initiative is still in our hands."

"You don't really want to see him, do you?" Simone frowned. "His danger level is too high. Someone who can destroy a nuclear bomb can kill you with just one hand."

"You're right, it's not just me, you are all ants," Leiris said coldly, "so you should be aware that the best result is to die together, not to avoid risks."

Simone was shocked by his words, because it meant that the other party had prepared for the worst, and it was also a reminder of what she should do.

"I see." Simone bit her lip lightly, and what Leilis said was obvious. If something really happened, she could use the last card of the New York branch.

Leiris walked through the corridor, walked quickly to the lounge, pushed the door in without hesitation, and saw the young man inside at a glance.

Gu Yan raised his head, looked at the visitor, and said flatly, "Hello."

Leslie sat down and looked at him. Before he could say a word, the other side spoke first.

"Qin Xiao is in my hands," Gu Yan said, "I want to negotiate a condition with Mr. Chu."

Leilis didn't introduce himself. It was obvious that Gu Yan had already invaded his spiritual realm to learn his name. However, he didn't show any strong repulsion, but said calmly: "This is not very polite. .”

"I'm sorry," Gu Yan said, but he didn't look apologetic, "I don't intend to be polite to the people who have been chasing me for months."

"You're trying to scare me," Riley said, "you Chinese call this 'Xia Ma Wei', don't you?"

"No, I just want to know how to call you," Gu Yan said, "Are you changing the subject because the conditions I gave don't attract you?"

"To be honest, it's not very attractive," Leilis raised his long legs, posing in a very relaxed and casual posture, the leather shoes under his suit pants reflected Cheng Liang's luster, and he spoke in an incomprehensible tone Said, "Qin Xiao is a secretary who rarely satisfies me. His ability is indeed outstanding, but he is not the only one. I believe there will be many people in this building who can do better than him. So you have Didn't I think that I kept him by my side just to wait for the day when you come to me?"

Gu Yan looked at Leilis' well-dressed appearance and said, "You use him."

"Aren't you using him?" Lelis smiled mockingly, "But your motives should be a little higher than mine. You won't hurt him, but I never think about it."

"Your thoughts are exactly the same as hers." Gu Yan's eyes sank, and the corners of his mouth were drawn into a straight line.

Leiris raised his eyebrows curiously: "Her?"

Gu Yan did not answer his question directly, but said to himself: "Sometimes I doubt that there is no normal person in me."

"If you had lived among us from the beginning, you wouldn't have this confusion," Lelis said lightly, "No matter what kind of monsters are normal among the Noahs, the blood of gods can never be compatible with human beings." exactly the same."

The word "monster" reminded Gu Yan that the topic was completely off topic, so he decided to pull back: "Don't you care why I came here at all?"

"I don't accept your chips," Lelis turned his head and stared into his eyes, "but I'm still very curious, so tell me."

Gu Yan has heard Qin Xiao complain about this person a lot, but now that he meets him in person, he feels that Qin Xiao's description was a little affectionate. After chatting in these two or three sentences, he already knows that the other party is a very deep city man. fox.

Fortunately, for Gu Yan, all tricks are just for display. For a person who can see through all the secrets, as long as he is willing, this confrontation can be adjusted to a simple mode.

It’s just that Gu Yan didn’t directly read his memory. The reason why he called out his surname just now was because he had asked those men in black before. force is described.

Ethan's memories had a lot of impact on him, not because of how much unbearable and humiliating it was, but because of Ethan's expression when the wound was exposed, which made him feel guilty.

Gu Yan began to realize how terrible this is. The legendary gods are indeed omniscient, knowing everyone's secrets and past, and even punishing them for their stains.

This is the power of God.

And what is he?

What I have to admit is that power has gradually made him lose something, not only him, but anyone with secular concepts cannot bear the consequences of this kind of "deification", whether it is self-righteous or being praised by others altar.

What will happen to an imperfect person who is believed to be a god?

"I'm here to ask you if you know someone who is related to a cult called 'Key of Truth'," Gu Yan said clearly, "His name is Time, you should Not unfamiliar."
