"Dong dong dong..." There was a knock on the door.

"Come in." Liu Guoliang said.

He Qingting walked into Liu Guoliang's office, looked at the old man in front of her, and said respectfully: "Mr. Liu."

The old man in front of him is seventy-eight years old, but he has not yet retreated to the front line and is still making strategic arrangements related to the spiritual realm.

Every one of these beings is a pillar of the country, a being that she respects and worships.

"Qingting, have you discovered anything?" Liu Guoliang looked at He Qingting with a smile.

Every time He Qingting comes in person, it means something big is going on.

The last time she came here in person, she had researched [Small Core].

The small core is not a simple nuclear weapon, it is the lock of the door to the spiritual realm. With it, people can take the initiative, because... it can close the door to the spiritual realm.

And that is also the last line of defense for the Spiritual Realm Gate, so the significance can be imagined.

"Mr. Liu, it's about Xiao Taotie." He Qingting handed the information to Liu Guoliang with both hands.

Liu Guoliang took it, opened it and started reading.

As he watched, the smile on his face froze, replaced by an indescribable heaviness.

Half an hour later, he put down the document and said nothing the whole time, while He Qingting just waited quietly.

Finally, he stood up, walked slowly to the window, and opened it.

The sun fell on the old man's face, and under the golden light, the wrinkles and age spots on his face appeared very clear.

"Qingting, what do you think?" he asked slowly.

He Qingting immediately said: "If my guess is correct, then he is walking in a high-risk area. He must not be allowed to stay in the city. The risk factor is too high."

"Once an abnormality occurs and cannot be eliminated in time, the casualties and losses caused are immeasurable!"

"So... it's best to keep him away from the crowd, away from the city, or stay in the military area..."

She didn't finish what she said, but the meaning was clear enough.

Keep him as far away from the crowd as possible!

Liu Guoliang nodded, put his hands behind his hands, looked at the scenery outside the window, and said, "Then what do you think [Tao] is?"

"Tao?" He Qingting was confused by this sudden question.

As a researcher, she is naturally very rational and a staunch materialist warrior, and something like [Tao]... already involves metaphysics or theology, right?

"This..." He Qingting thought for a moment and said: "From the perspective of life path, I can tell you something. After all, everyone has their own chosen path, but I don't think you should be this one.

mean."

"So, please let Mr. Liu speak clearly."

Liu Guoliang said with a smile: "Tao is both the path under your feet and the path in your heart."

"What you said is correct."

"From a rational perspective, this can maximize the safety of the people, but..."

"How about from an emotional point of view?"

"Emotional..." He Qingting was startled.

Liu Guoliang turned around, looked at her, and said: "Humans are animals with a high degree of social organization. If they are separated from the group, it will be difficult for individuals to survive. I think you, a researcher, know this better than me.

.”

He Qingting nodded.

Whether physically or psychologically, it is indeed difficult for individual human beings to survive once they are completely separated from the group.

"Let's get back to the [Tao]." Liu Guoliang continued.

"The path that little Taotie takes has been decided. It is his own choice."

"He has these powers, and he is destined to face these and bear these, because he is currently the only existence that can truly eliminate anomalies."

"Every time an abnormality occurs, he goes all out to solve it. Even when faced with an [accident], he will do his best to save people, because this is his choice, this is the path he takes."

"But the path in his heart has not been decided yet. Do you know why?"

This sudden inquiry made He Qingting fall into deep thought again.

After a moment, she said: "Because... his ability is not enough to fight against truly terrifying abnormal disasters?"

Liu Guoliang shook his head gently.

He Qingting added: "Because...he is not ready to face this yet?"

Liu Guoliang still shook his head.

He Qingting couldn't think of anything at this time.

Seeing this, Liu Guoliang sighed slightly and said, "You have ignored an important issue."

"What's the question?" He Qingting wanted to know the answer anxiously.

The next moment, Liu Guoliang said softly.

"He is only sixteen years old."

In an instant, He Qingting was stunned.

She understood instantly.

So much information shows that Zhang Ye is extraordinary and his strength far exceeds that of his peers. He is the only being in the world who can eliminate abnormalities. Everyone knows that he is very strong.

But everyone subconsciously ignored...

"He's still a kid."

"Why do we have to count on him?" Liu Guoliang looked at the document.

"Why is it as if only by sacrificing him can the people be saved?"

"Has China really reached the point where it has to force a child to protect the country?"

He Qingting shook her head in silence.

Upon seeing this, Liu Guoliang continued: "It's true that he is the only one who can eliminate anomalies. He will definitely be extraordinary in the future, but we have to count on him only in the future."

"Isn't it the age for a sixteen-year-old child to study in school and play with friends?"

"Why do we have to let him take on the important role at this time?"

"Is it me, Huaxia No One?"

"Or should I wait for Wu Qing?"

"Like his dad, he can't sit still, likes to take risks everywhere, and likes to see the world."

"But don't forget, every time they go through the wind and rain outside, they will always go back to that place."

"That's their home."

"If you do what you said, let him stay away from the crowd, away from the city, to a remote and remote place, or simply stay in the military area."

"That would be equivalent to kicking him out of his home."

"How sad would a sixteen-year-old child be?"

"If it is a machine, then we can indeed think in a completely rational way."

"But he's not!"

"When you are sixteen, you should do what you should do when you are sixteen, instead of forcing us to bear this or that."

"You can protect the road, but you can't force it. This is the real meaning."

"If we force him to stay away from cities and people, or keep him in a military area, then this is force!"

"The path under his feet is his own choice. He will walk it by himself, and his parents will guard him."

"And what we want to protect is the path in his heart."

"If he follows this path, he is destined to become a rebel in the future."

"We must not let him feel cold."

Liu Guoliang stretched out his finger and pointed it fiercely at the ground: "We have to tell him this with practical actions!"

"Always his home!"

"No one can kick him out!"

Having said this, Liu Guoliang looked out the window again and could see several children playing in the military compound.

"We are protecting the children, not letting the children protect us."

"This cannot be confused."

At that moment, the golden light that shrouded his body seemed to have softened, illuminating him as if he was standing tall on the sky.

He Qingting was silent and finally nodded: "I understand!"

"Well," Liu Guoliang smiled and said, "The abnormal ones will gather towards him, but what we have to do is not to drive the child out of the house, but to protect him!"

"Let the area where he is located turn into the strongest barrier!"

"yes!"

"As for these documents...destroy them all, leaving not a word behind!"

"yes!"
