Shen Facheng raised his hand and pushed up his glasses. He was sitting upright in front of the desk with his old body, holding a pen filled with ink in his hand, thinking deeply about how to write the letter on the desk.
But just as he was deep in thought, there was a knock on the door from the direction behind him.
The old man stood up slowly and looked towards the door with some confusion.
He didn't have many friends or acquaintances. After his child left, he never expected anyone to knock on the dilapidated wooden door, so he was a little wary of sudden knocks.
Then his mind immediately thought of some illegal groups active in the Southern Commonwealth. With this concern, the old man reached into the drawer with some vigilance, took out a hammer that could barely be used to hit people, and slowly Headed to the door.
"Who?" He asked in a low voice with extreme vigilance, hoping that his pretended low voice would scare the uninvited guests outside the door.
"Grandpa, it's me!" His familiar excited voice came from outside the door.
The old man immediately breathed a sigh of relief, placed the hammer casually on the table next to him, then stretched out his hand and began to unlock the complex wooden lock, and then slowly pushed open the heavy wooden door.
The moment he pushed the door open, the invisible bright moonlight penetrated into the room instantly, covering the entire room with silvery white frost, and also reflected the towering figure outside the door.
No, that's not his child.
The man stretched out his right hand towards him:
"Hello, I am your grandson's master Ma En."
The old man held Ma En's hand in confusion:
"Oh, but, where is Xiaoyi..."
As he spoke, the old man also looked behind Ma En, as if looking for his child.
"He bought us enough time." Ma En walked into the small room, "I have checked your memory and mind, and I can't find any problems.
"But we all know that it's not a coincidence that your grandson became my disciple. Tell me...
"Who is behind you?"
In order to make Seraen believe that he was indeed cautious, he actually asked Seli to use Shen Tianyi's cooperation to instantly create a spiritual dimension here that could isolate the outside world, so that he could interrogate the old man in a short time.
After hearing Ma En's intention to come, the old man did not feel puzzled. The expression on his face was a touch of sadness and understanding. Then he slowly walked to sit opposite Ma En.
Ma En looked at the old man sitting down in despair and said:
"I've heard Xiaoyi mention you. If you really care about your child, just confess so that you won't destroy his persistence over the years. But if you don't care about him at all...
"You should confess too, because then you can survive."
The old man smiled sadly:
"Alive? I've wanted to die for a long time, but it's a pity that he won't kill me, and you can't kill me either."
Ma En looked into his eyes and asked:
"who is he?"
At the same time, the silver-white moonlight was slowly eroding the old man's mind.
The old man raised his eyelids and glanced at Ma En lifelessly, then showed a self-deprecating smile:
"I can't tell you, I can't, I can't say his name."
Just now, Seri felt that when Ma En mentioned Shen Tianyi, the old man's heart trembled for a moment.
Ma En also immediately used this as an entry point and said:
"Think about Shen Tianyi. He still has a bright future. Do you really think it is a good choice to let him be the undercover agent of that bastard behind you? It's not like you don't have any chance to fight. As long as you speak...
"My organization can keep you safe."
Trembling again.
The old man lowered his head in despair and said:
"It's not that I don't want to say it, but I don't know, and you can't guarantee my safety in front of him. Even if the destined returner comes, you can't stop him from killing me.
"You can't defeat him, you can't defeat him..."
Ma En then pressed:
"What about Shen Tianyi? Do you hope that he will really become that bastard's tool? Try your best to think about what you can do. As long as you can help us find the guy hiding in the shadows, I can at least protect him. .
"Believe me, we are not afraid of anything."
Faced with Ma En's pressing behavior, the old man just lowered his head lower:
"Xiaoyi is innocent, but I really don't know anything. I just..."
When he said this, it was as if his throat was blocked and he couldn't say anything with his mouth open.
And Seri could also feel that the old man's heart was shrouded in strong self-blame and worry about the child, but he still couldn't say anything, but she did notice something strange in this guy's mind.
'wrong! Sally's voice suddenly sounded in Ma En's mind, "He is not a real person!" Although it is almost impossible, I seem to have noticed what he is. His existence is very similar to mine...
'He is a stripped mass of thoughts. '
Just when she reminded Ma En in surprise, there was a heavy knock on the wooden door behind him. Even without turning around, Ma En could imagine that something roughly pushed the door open.
Almost at the same time as the impact sounded, he also felt that the air in front of him began to become moist. At the same time, waves of heat suddenly came from behind him, as if it would swallow him up in the next moment.
"They are coming." The old man lowered his head and said, "I'm sorry, but this is actually a trap, and I suddenly remembered why I couldn't betray him, and I also understood why you couldn't defeat him."
Then the old man stood up directly on the spot and put on a black robe at some point. At the same time, the struggle with tears, pain, and sadness all disappeared at this moment, replaced by wisdom and tenacity:
"Because I am invincible."
'That's right! 'Selly exclaimed in Ma En's mind, 'What we just saw is a "dummy" specially created by the mastermind behind the scenes using part of his own thoughts. Of course he will not betray himself. '
When he stood up straight, Ma En also turned and looked behind him.
There stood two unfamiliar figures, a man and a woman.
"Long time no see." The woman raised her lips slightly and said in a charming voice, "Do you remember what I said back then? I said you will belong to me sooner or later.
"And I came back to take you."
When she said this, Ma En remembered her identity - it was the Poseidon who was trying to quietly control her in the Southern Federation. At that time, she indeed said arrogantly that she would come back to find her.
It seems that the promises of the gods have indeed stood the test of time.
The male god next to her was also swaying with blazing flames, his eyes and mouth and nose were also sprayed with blazing high-temperature flames, and he also raised the corners of his mouth and revealed a crazy smile:
"And I, mortal...
"You shouldn't touch the gods' things."
