In the same late night, on the large double bed in the bedroom of Tiandu Purgatory Headquarters, Li Kuangtu suddenly sat up from the bed in a cold sweat.
His face was pale, his eyes were blurry, and cold sweat dripped down his face drop by drop. In extremely rapid breathing, he closed his eyes, feeling his violent heartbeat, and slowly held his breath for a long time.
He let out a long breath.
His movements were so violent that Fenghuang, who had been taking care of his son and had just fallen asleep, woke up.
She moved her body slightly, grabbed the clothes and put them on herself, reached out to touch Kuangtu Li's face, and said softly: "Are you having a nightmare?"
"Um."
Li Kuangtu reluctantly hummed: "I dreamed..."
He suddenly frowned.
In the dream, countless images began to fade away at an unimaginable speed, becoming blurry and almost completely disappearing.
But the palpitating feeling that shakes the soul still exists, and it continues to become stronger. Through the illusory dream, it becomes more and more clear in reality.
What on earth did you dream about?
Li Kuangtu frowned.
He is now considered one of the kendo masters in the dark world, but he is a kendo master in the spiritual realm. He has a strong will. He should not even dream about it on weekdays, let alone a nightmare, and he still has a nightmare.
It has never happened before that I can't remember.
What does this mean?
Li Kuangtu tried hard to calm down, trying to grasp the last remaining trace of the dream.
Li Kuangtu suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his heart, and suddenly said: "Who is the Sword God?"
When he was asked this question, he was stunned for a moment.
This title suddenly emerged from my heart, without any antecedent or consequence. It suddenly appeared in my mind, and then it began to become more and more profound.
"What sword god?"
Phoenix looked at him blankly: "Where can there be a sword god in the dark world now? Who dares to call him this? But I have heard a saying that if Wang Tianzong is the sword king of the dark world, then Lin Fengting can be called him
I don’t know how arrogant you have to be to be called Sword Master or Sword God. Even Li Tianlan doesn’t have such a title now.”
"some."
Li Kuangtu took a deep breath: "The Sword God must exist... I just met him... No, it was me who dreamed about him, no, it's not a dream, no, it's a dream..."
While mumbling in extreme confusion, Li Kuangtu reached out and grabbed his scalp, pulling hard: "I must have forgotten something... Sword God... Li Shi..."
Fenghuang's body leaned over gently, holding Li Kuangtu tightly. Her voice was a little worried: "You are tired. You must have been under a lot of pressure during this period...Relax and take a good rest. There is no sword god in the dark world."
Yes, it was just a dream, just sleep for a while and you’ll be fine when you wake up.”
Li Kuangtu quietly felt the body temperature of Phoenix, motionless, like a statue.
His somewhat chaotic eyes when he first woke up gradually became clear, and he seemed to have returned to his most normal state.
He stretched out his hand, patted Phoenix's back gently, and said in a low voice: "I'm fine... But I'm becoming more and more sure that I must have experienced something in the East Palace, but I forgot about it."
After a pause, he whispered: "It must be something very important."
"Hypnosis?"
Phoenix frowned.
Li Kuangtu, who had just woken up from a nightmare, was indeed in a somewhat abnormal mental state, as if he had suffered a mental backlash after being hypnotized but failed: "Did Qin Weibai do it?"
"Today...no, it was yesterday. No, it was recently. I haven't seen Qin Weibai..."
Li Kuangtu shook his head: "I'm a little confused now. You go to sleep first and let me be quiet for a while."
Phoenix looked at him seriously, suppressed the worries in his heart, and suddenly chuckled: "You, you must have been under too much pressure recently. Now that you have regained your freedom and relaxed inside, the pressure accumulated during this period has also disappeared.
The nightmare has been released. In your current state, even if you are injured, how many people in the dark world can hypnotize you? Don't think too much, now, if you can't sleep, just look at your son. The little guy is getting better and better
Growing up, I have trouble sleeping every night, so if you watch over him, I can have a good rest."
Li Kuangtu smiled, crossed Phoenix, sat on the edge of the bed, and looked at the crib in front of him.
In the crib, a child of several years old was sleeping soundly with his eyes closed, breathing evenly and gently.
Li Kuangtu looked at his son silently.
For no reason, his heart suddenly hurt.
It was like a needle suddenly appeared, piercing all the warmth, pampering and expectations, and piercing the deepest part of my heart. The pain was earth-shaking, and the warmth in my heart instantly turned cold and blood dripped.
"wrong..."
Li Kuangtu said softly.
"Um?"
Phoenix, who had just laid down, looked up at him.
"I must have forgotten something."
Li Kuangtu said softly, his eyes becoming more and more sober: "There must be something very important."
Something, but I forgot about it.”
"What can happen?"
Phoenix was a little helpless.
Li Kuangtu also wanted to say that there was nothing wrong. He wanted to say that Tiandu Purgatory and the East Palace have become enemies now. In the enemy's territory, he could not get too confidential information, so it would not be a big deal. Even if there were some things he
Ignored.
But he couldn't convince himself at all.
He could no longer remember the dream he had just had.
However, the feeling of heart palpitations, panic, anger and humiliation began to become more and more intense. All kinds of negative emotions continued to stimulate his spirit and heart. Deep in his heart, he felt extremely uneasy and confused.
No... need to find out what happened...
Li Kuangtu thought silently and started to get up and put on his clothes.
"Where to go?"
Phoenix got up again and helped Li Kuangtu get dressed.
"Go to sleep and don't worry about me."
Li Kuangtu gently touched Phoenix's hair but did not answer her question.
He got dressed, looked at his son again, and then walked out of the bedroom.
It's half past three in the evening.
Li Kuangtu looked at his watch, sat on the sofa and smoked two cigarettes, finally made up his mind and left his residence.
He is going to find Li Huacheng.
Wanting to figure out what he had forgotten, Li Huacheng, who came here with him, was the only clue. Li Kuangtu was not sure whether the other party knew anything, but when he was in the East Palace, Li Huacheng was the only one beside him.
This is his only choice.
It's naturally not a good idea to disturb someone's dream at this time, but Kuangtu Li is too lazy to wait any longer.
Li Huacheng lives in a two-story building not far from Li Kuangtu's villa. Tiandu Purgatory doesn't pay much attention to external things. When the East Island re-emerged, Li Kuangtu built the Tiandu Purgatory.
Wangtian Pavilion, when you come to Tiannan from the East Island, the headquarters of Tiandu Purgatory is much more casual. Compared with the ambition of the East Palace to swallow up the entire Xuanyuan City and even the entire Tiannan, the headquarters of Tiandu Purgatory seems a bit shabby.
The headquarters only costs a little over 100 million, and the living conditions are naturally not comparable to those of the Eastern Palace.
However, unlike when he was in the East Palace, Li Huacheng is truly staying here temporarily. The people in Tiandu Purgatory have now begun to pack their things. Li Huacheng held a simple investiture ceremony for Li Kuangtu here. After the formal ceremony, he returned to Youzhou
Strictly speaking, the current Tiandu Purgatory has become the Purgatory Legion of Central Continent. They will leave before noon tomorrow. Whether this headquarters is shabby or not will only benefit Li Tianlan in the end, so it doesn't matter anymore.
Surprisingly, the lights were still on in the two-story building where Li Huacheng was located.
Li Kuangtu raised his eyebrows slightly, walked over and knocked on the door.
The door opened quickly, and Li Huacheng's secretary Ma Si appeared in front of the door with a depressed expression: "General, what are you doing?"
"The president hasn't rested yet?"
Li Kuangtu asked.
"I'm on the phone with Hua Ji."
Ma Si shook his head, sighed, and couldn't help complaining: "Since this period of time, the president has rarely had time to rest. He has been busy until midnight every day. Although the president is not in Youzhou, he is extremely concerned about the situation in Youzhou.
Attention."
Li Kuangtu smiled and said softly: "Indeed, he is such a person."
Ma Si smiled bitterly, invited Li Kuangtu in, made him a cup of tea, and walked into the study again.
Li Kuangtu sat silently, holding a tea cup, waiting for Li Huacheng to finish the call.
Li Kuangtu can roughly guess the content of this call. It is said that the storm caused by Wang Xiaoyao has made a new breakthrough in Huating. The situation has become more and more complicated. It has become a battlefield for fierce fighting between Southeast and the Prince Group, and
The academic school obviously intends to profit from it.
Li Kuangtu waited for nearly half an hour. The door of the study room opened from the inside, and Li Huacheng walked out.
His face looked a little tired, but his eyes were still gentle and indifferent, and he smiled and said, "What's so urgent?"
"I'm here to ask the president to clarify his doubts."
Kuangtu Li put down his tea cup and said slowly.
"Um?"
Li Huacheng gave him a strange look.
Ma Si walked out of the kitchen, carrying a large fruit plate and placing it on the coffee table. The fruit plate contained a wide variety of fruits.
"Eat some fruit and speak slowly."
Li Huacheng smiled: "There's no harm in staying up late and eating more fruit. If you don't tell me, you're not young anymore. It's time to pay more attention to health issues."
Li Kuangtu casually picked up the fruit and put it into his mouth. He didn't know the taste of the fruit. He didn't know what he had eaten until he swallowed it.
"President, today at the East Palace..."
Li Kuangtu frowned, as if he was thinking about how to phrase his words: "Is there anything strange about me?"
"What do you mean?"
Li Huacheng frowned.
"Any aspect!"
Li Kuangtu's tone was serious and solemn.
"Other than the fact that you declined Tianlan's invitation is a bit strange, I didn't notice anything else."
Li Huacheng laughed: "Of course, I can understand your refusal. But in the eyes of others, including Tianlan, you
The rejection is indeed a bit strange."
"That's not what I meant."
Li Kuangtu shook his head: "I always feel that I forgot something very important in the East Palace today."
"You already talked about this topic on the way here."
Li Huacheng's voice was calm: "You said you forgot a dream."
"Maybe it's not a dream."
Li Kuangtu felt a little irritable and barely controlled his tone: "But I don't know what it is."
"Maybe you're just overthinking."
Li Huacheng ate the apple in his hand and chuckled: "This experience of being captured is probably your first time in your life, right? Especially if it fell into the hands of Li Tianlan, your mood during this time should be very complicated.
, when you are under great pressure, you will definitely like to think wildly.
This was nothing in the East Palace. Now that you have left that place, once your mind relaxes, it is theoretically possible to have some hallucinations.
Today's negotiation was very clear from beginning to end. You rejected Tianlan's request, but Tianlan never refused the bargaining chip I gave. He became my student, you were free, and Tiandu Purgatory became the Purgatory Legion.
What could you have forgotten?"
He glanced at Li Kuangtu and continued: "But there are indeed some problems with your current mentality. You should adjust it in time. Kuangtu, if you are too afraid of Tianlan, it will be difficult to put enough pressure on him. This is not my
What I want to see is that I need him to grow under enough pressure."
Li Kuangtu raised his head and took a deep look at Li Huacheng.
His expression was a little cold.
From beginning to end, Li Huacheng's attitude was obvious.
He rescued himself from the East Palace, but the president in front of him had never intended to stand with Tiandu Purgatory.
They are not their own people.
To be more precise, the existence of him and Tiandu Purgatory is just a tool for Li Huacheng to train his students.
What happens to the tools?
When there is no use value, it is natural to throw it away and abandon it.
Li Kuangtu smiled to himself.
He was sure that he had forgotten something, which might even affect the future fate of his family, and even the entire Tiandu Purgatory.
But Li Huacheng couldn't empathize with his worries, and he didn't intend to empathize with them.
Because in his eyes, people like himself and these powers are just tools.
To put it bluntly, Li Huacheng actually brought him out from the East Palace in order to kill the mature Li Tianlan.
It's just that Li Huacheng also gave Tiandu Purgatory a chance to fight back.
But Li Huacheng's true position has always been on Li Tianlan's side.
So his worries were a joke in Li Huacheng's eyes.
Not to mention that Li Huacheng seemed to really know nothing. Li Kuangtu was certain that even if he did know something, he would not be able to tell himself.
Coming here tonight is undoubtedly the wrong thing to do.
He nodded coldly and said indifferently: "I know what to do."
"There is still time. After returning to Youzhou, you can also discuss with Jiang Shangyu Gu Xingyun and the others. The current Central Continent special warfare system does need some fresh blood."
Li Huacheng said casually, glanced at Li Kuangtu, who was obviously a little distracted, and suddenly said: "Your current condition is indeed not very good. Is it because she was in a bad condition when you saw her today and you were worried?"
"What?!"
Kuangtu Li suddenly stood up.
Li Huacheng's physical condition straightened up for a moment.
He narrowed his eyes, looked at Kuangtu Li, and said calmly: "How is this situation?"
"So...Moon God...Qin Weibai..."
Li Kuangtu's breathing suddenly became rapid: "I went to the biological laboratory of the East Palace today!"
Li Huacheng's expression was a little strange: "Is this what you forgot?"
Li Kuangtu took a deep breath.
Yes.
He forgot that he went to the biological laboratory of the East Palace today and saw his daughter.
All the conversations between him and Qin Weibai began to become clear the moment he recalled them.
But soon, Li Kuangtu frowned again: "No, it's not just this... I seemed to see someone there."
Li Huacheng's expression did not change at all.
He ate the fruit in his hand, picked up a paper towel and wiped his hands, and then lightly knocked on the table casually.
There was a slight sound as his fingers landed on the table.
But when the sound fell into Kuangtu Li's ears, it seemed to be amplified countless times in an instant.
