Qi Lianyu really didn't expect Deng Yue to be arrested. He just thought that this mysterious man in gray must have done something to make Deng Yue fall into his hands.

"Where are they now?" Qi Lianyu asked anxiously.

"Of course it's not here." The voice of the mysterious man in gray came through again.

Qi Lianyu moved a little, thinking about trying to loosen the rope tied to his hands, but who knew what method the other party used, the rope became tighter and tighter.

Originally, if this matter had happened in the past, Qi Lianyu would have been able to break free with a little bit of energy, but unfortunately, Qi Lianyu's energy was now blocked and he couldn't move at all.

"Don't waste your efforts. Not to mention that you have no energy at all now. If it were before, it would be a bit difficult to break free. This kind of rope is specially made, and the method of tying the rope is also special. You

The more you try to break free, the tighter it will be. Be careful and you may break your wrist before you recover your strength." The mysterious man saw Qi Lianyu's movements, guessed his thoughts, and reminded him.

Qi Lianyu just snorted coldly and did not make too many moves, seeming to agree with the other party's statement.

"Those who are timid will only hide in the dark." Qi Lianyu looked at the direction where the voice came from with some disdain.

"Haha, don't think about using provocation. I don't do that. But since you want to see me, I will satisfy you." After the mysterious man finished speaking, there was actually someone in the dark corner where the voice came from.

There was movement, as if someone was coming out of there.

One step, two steps, three steps, each step seemed to step on Qi Lianyu's heart. Because of the angle problem, if he wanted to see clearly, he had to raise his head. Raising his head for a long time made his neck stiff.

sore.

"Who are you?" Qi Lianyu narrowed his eyes slightly, as if unwilling to let go of any details.

"You'll know when I come out." The mysterious man chuckled, and his tone seemed to be that of an old friend he hadn't seen for many years.

As the footsteps approached, the mysterious man slowly walked out of the dark corner, still wearing a ferocious mask and gray robes, but his hands were not empty, but held half of the mask.

Qi Lianyu naturally saw what was in the mysterious man's hand, and then realized that half of the mask on his face was gone.

"Who are you?" Qi Lianyu asked again, but this time his mood was not as excited as before, but a little calmer.

The mysterious man did not answer Qi Lianyu's question directly, but squatted next to him and actually started chatting with him.

"Tell me about your dream. What did you dream about?" the mysterious man asked.

Qi Lianyu was a little surprised by the mysterious man's sudden change of question. He had no idea why the other party would ask him such a question, so he did not answer immediately. Instead, he looked at the other party with some vigilance, as if he still doubted the other party's purpose.

"I don't mean anything else. I just heard you talk in your sleep and name a lot of people. I'm just curious to ask, who are those people to you?" After saying this, the mysterious man actually sat cross-legged next to Qi Lianyu.

, just like old friends reminiscing about the past after not seeing each other for many years.

Sitting like this, Qi Lianyu was stunned, because in his mind, the figure of this person in front of him actually overlapped with that of another person.

"Why are you stunned?" the mysterious man asked.

"You look so much like a friend of mine." Qi Lianyu seemed to be lost in memories, forgetting that he was being kidnapped by the mysterious masked man in front of him.

Just when Qi Lianyu was lost in thought, the mysterious man continued to ask him: "What kind of person is that person? Is he in your dream?"

Qi Lianyu nodded, and then said: "With him, he was still very young at that time. He was bullied by another person all day long. He liked to hide behind me when something happened."

Qi Lianyu slowly recalled it, as if at this moment, he had returned to his previous dream.

"That's a wonderful person. From what you said, what you dreamed about happened when you were a child?"

As the mysterious man spoke, he placed the half of the mask in his hand on Qi Lianyu's face again.

"Hey, it happened a long time ago. It's been so long that I can hardly remember them." Qi Lianyu seemed a little uncomfortable, and then he lay down on his side, with half of the mask sliding down his cheeks.

Showing half of his cheek full of scars.

"Do you think you have anyone you're sorry for?" The mysterious man asked again suddenly.

Qi Lianyu thought for a while, then nodded and said: "Many, mother, father..."

Qi Lianyu was still thinking, but was interrupted by the mysterious man: "Let's put it another way, do you think anyone was killed by you?"

Qi Lianyu was startled, then stared at the mysterious man's somewhat ferocious mask, as if he didn't understand what the other party meant.

The mysterious man also stared into Qi Lianyu's eyes, seeming to find the answer he wanted from his eyes.

After two drinks, the silence between the two was broken. The mysterious man sighed softly, then slowly stood up, as if he was about to leave.

"You want to leave?" Qi Lianyu asked with a frown.

"Well, the time is up, someone is coming over." The mysterious man said slowly.

"Who are you? You haven't said it yet." Qi Lianyu naturally would not give up this last opportunity. He must ask the identity of the mysterious man in front of him.

"After you return to Kyoto Prefecture, I will look for you when I have the opportunity." The mysterious man said slowly, then paused, as if he thought of something, and then said, "You still have a quarter of an hour to recover your energy.

I wish you good luck during this time."

After finishing speaking, the mysterious man dodged and disappeared from Qi Lianyu's eyes.

Qi Lianyu was a little distracted, as if he had seen a young man disappear in front of him using the same move many years ago.

"Sanlang!" The figure in front of him finally overlapped with this mysterious man. This result made Qi Lianyu a little overwhelmed because he was not sure whether his judgment was true.

After the battle in Linqing Mansion a month ago, he was brought back to Kyoto Mansion by Chu Ci. His mother and Uncle Song died in front of him, and Qi Lianyu's last impression of Sanlang was that he was roaring at him vigorously.

He said that it was all because of himself that he lost his father! Then Saburo disappeared from his sight.

After he woke up, although he asked Chu Ci about the situation at that time, he never found Saburo's body, and he didn't know whether he was dead or alive. Later, he found some stumps that had been eaten by wild beasts in the back mountain.

There were broken clothes, and it was from these clothes that Qi Lianyu recognized Sanlang. From then on, Qi Lianyu thought that Sanlang was dead.
