The prison was not quiet late at night. From time to time, faint screams could be heard from a distance, which were interrogating prisoners.
Crying, pleading, howling, and all kinds of sounds intertwined into a mind-numbing background music.
The prison guard occasionally glanced back, but to his disappointment, the gentle clerk behind him did not show any timidity in this gloomy environment.
The two passed through multiple checkpoints and finally arrived at a Class A prison, where felons with life sentences or death sentences were imprisoned.
I heard that there is also an S-class prison that houses extremely dangerous prisoners.
Went to the visiting room and waited. Not long after, Connor was dragged in between two prison guards.
Connor is about sixty years old, with white beard and hair. As the patriarch of a killer family, he also has the strength of the fourth level of breathing.
But at this time, thick steel nails were pierced through his shoulders and knees, which shattered the bones. He completely lost all his strength. Now he is just a weak old man.
Qiu Gongyue looked back at the prison guard who brought her here, and found that he was still standing aside: "Turn off the surveillance and monitoring. I need to have a confidential conversation with him."
This time the prison guard was very tough: "Sorry, he is a felon in Class A prison. According to the rules, you cannot meet with outsiders alone unless you have a warrant from the elders."
Qiu Gongyue frowned slightly and changed her suggestion: "Turn off the surveillance and monitoring, and then you stay and listen. Is that okay?"
The prison guard still wanted to refuse. He didn't want to know any secrets he shouldn't know.
Qiu Gongyue's eyes became sharp: "This won't work, and that won't work either. Why don't I call the director of the office who is resting now and ask the director to ask for your opinion?"
The prison guard was sweating on his forehead. Although he was from the prison system, the office director had no power to control him.
But this is only on the surface. When a big shot is eyeing you, there are ten thousand ways to let you experience what life is worse than death in private.
In the end, the prison guard accepted Qiu Gongyue's proposal, turned off the surveillance and monitoring, and let him listen.
After locking the door of the visiting room again, the prison guard stood behind Qiu Gongyue, preparing to treat himself as a dead person and pretend not to hear anything he heard.
The next moment, Qiu Gongyue suddenly turned around and struck the prison guard's neck with a palm.
The prison guard was shocked, but his reaction was very sensitive. He subconsciously raised his hand to resist, and stretched his other hand to his waist, ready to press the alarm.
Qiu Gongyue's speed suddenly increased. The prison guard didn't even see her movements clearly. He felt a pain in his neck and lost consciousness in an instant.
After taking care of the prison guards, Qiu Gongyue looked back at Connor.
Connor's performance was very calm, and he looked at Qiu Gongyue with his old but still clear eyes: "Who are you?"
Qiu Gongyue sat down in front of him: "Don't you think I am a member of the Goddess Sect?"
Connor smiled lightly: "The Goddess Cult will not come to save me, because I have nothing to do with the Goddess Cult."
Qiu Gongyue could feel Connor's vigilance. She might be suspecting that her appearance was a conspiracy of the Senate, and deliberately used this cruel trick to win his trust.
Qiu Gongyue guessed right, Connor was indeed doubting her identity.
After being imprisoned and imprisoned, Connor has always denied his relationship with the Goddess Cult, and he did not change his confession even after being severely punished.
The Senate could not find evidence of his collusion with the Goddess Cult, and had adopted many bottom-breaking methods, such as using the lives of his relatives to threaten him to confess.
Now it is very possible to find someone pretending to be a Goddess Cult to save him.
Qiu Gongyue did not try to persuade Connor, but took out a small bracelet from her body - this was a birthday gift from Connor to her granddaughter. Connie said that she could use this to gain her grandfather's trust.
But after reading it, Connor sneered: "Are you going to tell me that you saved my granddaughter and then gained her trust before you ventured in to see me?"
Qiu Gongyue: "..."
If possible, she wanted to pick up the chair and slap the old man away.
You have already said it, what else can I say?
But Connor is preconceived now, and even if Qiu Gongyue tells the truth, he will never believe it.
Karin couldn't delay for long, time was running out, and Qiu Gongyue had to take the risk.
She reached out and took off the moon in the water around her neck, tore off the fake face, and restored her killer appearance.
Seeing the man in front of him suddenly turn into a woman, Connor was indifferent. It wasn't until Qiu Gongyue said a word from her mouth that his eyes trembled.
"My name is Xinyue."
Qiu Gongyue introduced her identity: "You should have heard of me, a descendant of the Moon Clan."
Connor's calm expression finally turned to confusion: "How do you prove your identity?"
Qiu Gongyue closed her eyes for a few seconds, then opened them: "I remember when I left Guangming Mountain when I was a child, a strange old man said to me that sooner or later, I will return to Guangming Mountain with the glory of the goddess. This sentence Are words enough?”
Connor's mind was shaken, and he looked at Qiu Gongyue with his eyes, and his eyes gradually became moist.
He suddenly choked up: "...My child...you have finally grown up."
Qiu Gongyue didn't understand why Connor was so close to her.
"Son, you must be confused."
Connor wiped the corners of his eyes with his hands and explained: "Your grandfather is the leader of our Goddess Cult, the one who led the Goddess Cult to regain Guangming Mountain and give hope to the dead, but you are his only descendant and ours." hope."
Akimiya Yue's eyes turned cold: "As far as I know, Tsukuyomi is still alive and even founded a killer organization by himself."
Connor was slightly startled, not knowing what he was remembering, and finally sighed deeply.
"Old sir."
Qiu Gongyue interrupted Connor's sad memories: "Time is limited, I hope you can answer my two questions."
Connor nodded: "Just ask, kid, and I will tell you everything I know."
Akimiya Yue asked the question that had been hidden in her heart for a long time: "The truth about the destruction of the Yue clan that year, who was the murderer, Tsukuyomi or the Senate?"
"There's no way it's your grandfather!"
Connor said in a decisive tone: "The Moon Clan is your grandfather's strong backing, and it is also the core family of the Goddess Religion. The destruction of the Moon Clan has greatly damaged the strength of the Goddess Religion. How could it be possible that your grandfather did it? It must be The Senate did it and then poured dirty water on your grandfather’s head.”
"Where's the evidence?"
Qiu Gongyue was not easily convinced: "I remember my parents told me that they were going to bring back my defected grandfather. How to explain this?"
She has hated her grandfather for so many years, and it cannot be changed by a few words. It requires solid evidence.
Connor is also a stubborn person and was not stopped by the question: "For reasons and reasons, only the Senate has this possibility. After so many years, they have already eliminated all the evidence."
Akimiya Yue asked: "Tsukuyomi is still alive, why don't you come out to clarify?"
Connor closed his eyes: "He must have some compelling reasons."
Qiu Gongyue felt that she was at a loss, as if she had met a crazy fan of some celebrities - her brother was not wrong, and if he was wrong, it must be a misunderstanding.
"Old sir, you'd better tell me the details of that year."
Connor slowly opened his eyes and unconsciously fell into memories, muttering to himself: "I was also the one who experienced it back then..."
Back then, after the Senate and the Goddess Cult experienced several fierce battles, both sides had lingering fears, and they had a tacit understanding of each other to abide by the bottom line and maintained peace for a long time.
It was during this period of peace that Tsukuyomi emerged.
There are many killers of the fifth-level breathing technique in Guangming Mountain, but there are very few people like Tsukuyomi who have reached the pinnacle of breathing technique at such a young age. Moreover, they have broken the historical record and won the title of assassin at the youngest age.
In Guangming Mountain, an assassin at the peak of breathing skills can get the title of assassin as long as he completes one more S-level mission.
Just like the ancestor of the Vader family, he received the title of Dark Assassin and has been inherited by the family.
Tsukuyomi is a legendary assassin who gives the dead a once-in-a-century chance. Although his assassin nickname is related to the moon, everyone who has worked with Tsukuyomi thinks he is the sun.
He is strong, gentle, confident, sunny, and his temperament shines on everyone around him like the warm morning light, and he has countless followers in Guangming Mountain.
At that time, the Senate was still suppressing the Goddess Sect, and Tsukuyomi was a devout believer of the Goddess Sect. However, because of his strong achievements and personal charm, the Senate could not suppress him, and he became a rising star in Guangming Mountain for a hundred years. rising star.
Later, Japan's Moon Clan also moved to Guangming Mountain to settle down because of Tsukuyomi. The Moon Clan were all devout believers of the Goddess Sect. With the addition of the powerful Moon Clan, the strength of the Goddess Sect experienced a surge. Able to withstand the suppression of the Senate.
Tsukuyomi entered the Senate by virtue of his personal merits, successfully served as the black-robed archbishop and senator, and worked conscientiously for decades without making any mistakes during this period, winning all the applause with his own abilities.
In the election of the General Councilor of the Senate, Tsukuyomi's support rate skyrocketed, and the support rate of all candidates combined was not half as high as his.
The Goddess Sect regards Tsukuyomi as the hope of regaining the dominance of Guangming Mountain, and supports him enthusiastically. As long as Tsukuyomi can become the general secretary of the Senate, the suppression of the Goddess Sect can be ended and the glory of the goddess can return to Guangming Mountain.
But just when everyone was watching, Tsukuyomi's defection happened without warning.
Connor only remembered that that night, the Senate suddenly declared martial law, and there were reports of fighting. Many people who went to the Senate to inquire about the news were arrested.
In the next few days, the entire Guangming Mountain continued to be under martial law. The Goddess Sect had realized that something was wrong, but the Senate adopted strong suppression. The Goddess Sect could not contact Tsukuyomi and did not dare to act rashly.
A week later, the Senate announced the incident of Tsukuyomi's defection, and the news that the entire Moon clan pursued him, but was killed by Tsukuyomi, causing an uproar.
At this time, the strength of the Goddess Sect, which had lost Tsukuyomi and the Moon Clan, was severely damaged, and it was no longer able to regain the leadership.
The Senate's suppression of the Goddess Cult became harsh again, gradually breaking the tacit understanding previously observed by both parties and sliding into a bloody struggle.
After listening to Connor's story, Akimiya Yue had to admit that it sounded like the Senate was afraid that Tsukuyomi would lead the Goddess Cult to seize power, so they would attack Tsukuyomi and the Moon Clan first.
However, there is a question lingering in Qiu Gongyue's heart that cannot be answered.
"Since you said that Tsukuyomi was persecuted by the Senate, then please answer me..."
Qiu Gongyue looked directly into Connor's eyes: "Why did he run away?"
With Tsukuyomi's strength and reputation, if he was really being persecuted by the Senate, he could immediately unite most of the killers and overthrow the Senate as long as he raised his arms.
But Tsukuyomi did not do this. Instead, he chose to escape and founded a killer organization on his own, confirming the Senate's accusations against him.
Listening to Qiu Gongyue's questioning, Connor was speechless.
This is also the reason why the Goddess Cult has always been puzzled. They don’t understand why Tsukuyomi chose to escape. No matter what happened, he didn’t need to escape at all.
During this period, the Goddess Sect has been sending people to look for Tsukuyomi and want to ask the truth about that year, but no one can see Tsukuyomi.
In the end, the Goddess Cult could only believe that Tsukuyomi made such a choice because of some unspeakable reasons.
This reason cannot convince Qiu Gongyue, but she understands the mood of the Goddess Sect - they can only use this reason to convince themselves that they can accept the reality.
As for the destruction of the Moon Clan, no one knows now. The Senate believes that Tsukuyomi did it, but Tsukuyomi has never come out to defend it.
Qiu Gongyue was quite disappointed when she couldn't get an answer. Seeing that the time was almost up, she asked her last question: "Old sir, can you tell me how to contact the people from the Goddess Sect?"
"No problem at all."
Connor's contact information was given to Qiu Gongyue, and he also warned her: "There are bad people among the believers. You must carefully identify the moles and don't be deceived."
It was because of the mole's report that he was arrested and imprisoned by the Senate.
"Thank you, I'll be careful."
Qiu Gongyue put on the Moon in the Water necklace and fake face again, returned to the appearance of a clerk, and then stood up.
"Old sir, I am very grateful to you for protecting me, but my ability is limited and I cannot save you."
After the Chuyue Clan was destroyed, the old, weak, women and children who stayed in Guangming Mountain were constantly subjected to enemy revenge.
In the end, only Akimiya Yuetoki was left, and he was protected by the Goddess Cult and sent back to Japan, escaping the disaster.
After Qiu Gongyue found out, she always remembered this kindness.
"It's okay, don't worry about it."
Connor showed a calm smile: "We old guys are of no use anymore. The future of the Goddess Cult depends on young people like you. Go ahead and don't stay here for too long."
Qiu Gongyue lowered her eyes, nodded to the old man, then turned and left the visiting room, walking out at a leisurely pace.
It won't be long before the situation in the visiting room is discovered, but it will be enough time for her to leave the prison.
It's just that it's impossible to come in with a false identity next time, and she didn't get much effective information tonight.
Soon, Qiu Gongyue left the prison smoothly, got into the clerk's car parked on the roadside, and drove away.
Next, she needs to find a place to hide first, and then contact the Goddess Cult after tonight's storm has passed. She can use the power of the Goddess Cult to continue to trace the truth behind the destruction of the Moon Clan.
Just as Qiu Gongyue was thinking, her expression suddenly changed slightly.
That feeling of being followed appeared again.
