Darkness is Coming

  There is a musical fountain in Banshan Manor. Apart from the servants working in the manor, Master Yu's disciples often chat with each other near the musical fountain.

However, since the defense of Nandu, people all over the world have learned about the existence of superpowers. Most of Master Yu's disciples are business elites, and their IQs are at least above the average line. With a little brainstorming, you can guess that Master Yu is actually a "cultivator". He is an Awakener with powerful abilities, so many disciples no longer rush to the Banshan Manor when they have nothing to do as in the past. Since Master Yu is a superpower, it is good to continue to give gifts and maintain a good master-disciple relationship. There is no need to go back to Banshan Manor to practice diligently. After all, it is different from cultivating immortals and seeking Taoism. There is no fixed formula for superpower, and it cannot be replicated with hard work.

   As a result, the musical fountain became extremely deserted. Occasionally, the staff in the manor passed by, and they just turned their heads and glanced at them and left quickly.

"This manor is really full of surprises." Luo Xiao, wearing an off-shoulder pink dress, strolled by the fountain and said as he walked, "This is the first time I have seen the musical fountain in the villa. At high (harmonious) tides, the central water column that undulates with the music is exactly level with the mountain peaks, which is really ingenious.”

   Having said this, Luo Xiao sighed regretfully: "It's a pity that no one appreciates such a beautiful scenery."

   "I thought the same thing when I saw you in Zero One Base." Yu Qian walked behind Luo Xiao and said a witty remark that would make Yang Xiaoqian run to check the ear department.

  Luo Xiao smiled without saying a word, and continued to walk forward.

  Yu Qian did not keep up, because he saw a black fog floating in the sky above. The speed of the black fog seemed to be slow, but it was actually very fast.

   "What's in such a hurry? Come over and don't tell me." Yu Qian's complexion changed slightly. After getting along for so long, he knew Yang Xiaoqian's behavior very well, and knew that Yang Xiaoqian must have a serious business that must be interviewed in person. Now the situation is so tense that Yang Xiaoqian does not forget to work even when he eats and sleeps. He has to rely on drugs and Su Yue's dreams to help support his mental state. It is impossible for him to come to Banshan Manor to chat with him.

  Luoxiao glanced back, knowingly didn't stop, quickened his pace and continued to move forward.

   "Why is she here?" Yang Xiaoqian, who had re-condensed his body from the black mist, did not answer the question. Luo Xiao actually appeared in the Banshan Manor, which was really surprising.

   "Luo Xiao left the Zero One base two days ago. I invited her to be a guest." Yu Qian concealed the embarrassment in his eyes well, but he couldn't hide from Yang Xiaoqian's sharp eyes.

   "Vacation?" Yang Xiaoqian asked again. It stands to reason that a secret unit like Zero One Base would not have a vacation system. Even if it did, it would be impossible for a psychologist, Luo Xiao, to travel all the way to Nandu.

   Just at this point in time, it happened that this Luo Xiao, whom Yu Qian had a good impression of, appeared in the Banshan Manor, which made Yang Xiaoqian's nerves tense again.

"It's not a vacation, she said she was fired. The details haven't been asked yet. She has to abide by the confidentiality regulations." Seeing Luo Xiao walking away, Yu Qian closed his eyes and sensed it for a while, and said solemnly, "I have everything on and around me. There are no bugs... you always need some kind of metal to make bugs, right?"

   "I don't know." Yang Xiaoqian shook his head, thought for a while, and said, "I have something to do with you, time is tight, so I'll keep it short."

  Yu Qian was planning to invite Yang Xiaoqian to the reception room or study. Hearing this, he immediately nodded and said, "Speak."

   "I'm going to go to Beijing." Yang Xiaoqian paused for a while, and emphasized, "Go alone."

"Oh?" Yu Qian squinted at Luo Xiao's back and smiled, "Who are you going to see? Chairman Wen or Liu Yuanzhou? It's Liu Yuanzhou, right? It's a coincidence. Not long after Luo Xiao came to Nandu, Liu Yuanzhou took the initiative to invite you to go to Beijing... ...Are you here on purpose to inform me?"

   Seeing that Yu Qian's reaction was more sensitive than he imagined, Yang Xiaoqian was slightly relieved, at least there was a reassuring comrade beside him.

"To be honest, these things have made me dizzy recently. I don't want to go this time, but I can't help it. Liu Yuanzhou chose to find me at this time, which is probably related to the mutant." Yang Xiaoqian hesitated for a moment, and asked He took out an envelope from his clothes and handed it to Yu Qian, holding Yu Qian's wrist and said solemnly, "But I'm really worried, so I leave this letter for you. If I have an accident, you can open the envelope again, okay? ?"

   Yu Qian was stunned for a while, then blurted out: "I can accompany you to Beijing."

  Yang Xiaoqian looked at the envelope in Yu Qian's hand, shook his head and said nothing.

  Yu Qian suddenly remembered that the last time he saw Yang Xiaoqian's eyes like this was when the dome had just descended. Yang Xiaoqian insisted that he stay behind and went to inquire about Xiao Guang's truth. According to Yang Xiaoqian, "I suspect that your IQ is not enough, so I can rest assured that you stay behind. If something goes wrong, at least someone will run away with my father."

   "I understand." Yu Qian broke away Yang Xiaoqian's hand and nodded at him, "Be careful yourself."

   "Yeah." Yang Xiaoqian responded, and his body turned into a black mist again, flying upwards.

  Yu Qian watched the black mist go away, and the pestle stood there for a while, suddenly raised his hand, and summoned a stream of metal, the liquid metal surrounded Yu Qian's body, forming a spherical body, which enveloped Yu Qian.

Inside the metal ball, Yu Qian tore open the envelope and took out the letterhead inside.

On the front of the letter was written four words: burn after reading, and on the back, in small block letters, a long list of names and locations were written. The list included Yang Xiaoqian's father Yang Yan, mother Luo Fei, Zhang Xinyi, Fang Yu, Ning Siyu, Zhou Tianming, etc., and most of the places written are the shelters that Zhan Yuan secretly built outside the country, and several of them are also marked with red pen.

   There is a line at the end of the letter: I can't trust Liu Yuanzhou, but I have to go. In short, prepare for the worst. If I don't come back, don't trust the phone or video. If I'm not there, all the options are in your hands.

"I can't trust Liu Yuanzhou... No wonder he chose to use letter paper instead of dictation or other means of communication." Yu Qian pondered and wrote down the contents of the letter paper, then immersed the paper in the liquid metal, and the metal droplets adsorbed on the paper became restless , in an irregular motion, tearing the letter paper into irreversible paper fibers in an instant.

   "All in my hands?"

   Remembering the last line of the letter, Yu Qian spread out his hand, a wisp of black mist attached to his palm at some point, and spread out crookedly along the lines of his palm. After spreading his palms, the wisp of black mist disappeared quickly, but Yu Qian had already memorized the shape of its spread, and it looked like a Chinese character: escape!
