It doesn't matter what the lord is.

Lid looked at the array on the restriction. Under normal circumstances, it would take at least one night to understand the content of these arrays, but after looking at them for a few times, Lid suddenly frowned slightly. This array was very similar to the national defense array he had seen in the underground world of the capital. There were quite a few writing methods in it, and it was even directly copied from the national defense array.

Although many parts were unclear, Lid immediately understood how it worked:

It defines a new race, called "superhumans". Just like the National Defense Formation will suppress all races other than humans in Yongtian Kingdom, this formation will suppress all races other than superhumans in the formation, including humans. But it does not have any monitoring capabilities, perhaps because its formation almost follows the National Defense Formation, and the National Defense Formation does not have monitoring.

After confirming that nothing dangerous would happen inside, Lid replied to Anke:

"It's okay, I just want to see if there is any danger. After all, if you want to hide someone here, you'd better be careful." Anke nodded:

"That's true. Do you see anything?" Lid shook his head.

"It's hard to say for now, but since you don't feel any danger, let's go in first."

The three of them stepped into the forbidden land of the God's Domain. The moment they entered, Lid's eyes suddenly widened, and an extremely bad feeling came over him, as if countless hands were squeezing his internal organs together. Lid coughed heavily, but did not dare to open his mouth, because he clearly felt a stream of blood rushing into his mouth, and he could not spit it out, otherwise he would expose himself.

The realm was suppressed.

Reed swallowed the blood in his mouth. This was the first time he experienced the feeling of aliens entering human territory. No wonder the national defense formation could protect humans for such a long time. Under such all-round suppression, few other races were willing to send a large number of elite troops to fight, because if they were not careful, the whole army might be wiped out.

Anke noticed that something was wrong with Lid, and hurried forward to ask him what was wrong. Lid waved his hands, swallowed the blood back into his throat, and said it was okay.

He forced himself to keep walking, but his steps were a little unsteady.

When entering the forbidden land of the God's Domain, Lid also wanted to understand why there were no spies here. If Lid's realm was still there, he could threaten the Immaculate Tree with his ability. But now it is not possible. The realm is suppressed, and Lid's killing moves, including the little ghost, are all greatly reduced, and he has lost the ability to make the final decision.

The woman was confident in the restrictions she had set.

Reed took a few deep breaths and adjusted his state. He knew that he must not be impatient at this time.

Lid didn't think about the tree for the time being. Since he couldn't cut down the tree right away, he couldn't reveal his identity. Anke said to Lid:

"I don't know much about the interior of the Divine Domain Forbidden Land, Jiade, let's hurry up and split up to find a place where Star Nine is hidden."

Lidd replied:

"I think so too. Time is limited. If we hide Xingjiu early, we can leave early." Anke nodded, turned around and looked at Xingjiu, and said gently:

"Xingjiu, can you hide here for a while?" Xingjiu looked at Anke and asked with a hoarse voice: "Why... do you want to hide?"

Anke explained to Xingjiu:

"Because it will soon become unsafe outside. So you have to hide here and not be found by others." Xing Jiu nodded seriously and asked again:

"But this is the holy land of God... Can we really hide here? If the gods find out, they will be angry..." Anke said to her:

"There is no other way. Xing San and I have discussed this. We cannot abandon you. You should hide here and do not be discovered by anyone. Even if it is an oracle, do not respond easily. After the storm is over, Xing San and I will find a way to send you out of the Xi Qin territory. Then you don't have to be afraid anymore."

Xingjiu nodded seriously again.

Lid began to look around to see where he could hide the little girl. As he looked, he suddenly felt a warm liquid splashing on his face.

Reed turned around and saw Anke's right arm fall to the ground.

Xingjiu's bandaged hands were covered in sticky blood.

Xing Jiu looked at An Ke and said in a cold tone:

"So, you and Xing San betrayed the Lord God, right?" Anke opened his mouth and moved his eyes to the cut on his shoulder. Blood was flowing non-stop.

Anke looked at the little girl in front of him, his eyes full of shock: "You--"

But Xingjiu's eyes did not see him. She stopped smiling and said, "The betrayer should be sentenced to death."

Anke covered his wound and continued to try to persuade the other party:

"After the Awakening Day, none of your family members survived. Who do you think is to blame? The Lord God is not omnipotent. He chose us and gave us the opportunity to evolve. We should be grateful. But everything started because of her. You don't have to..."

Xingjiu looked at Anke, and after a moment, she smiled.

She said to Anke:

"My family? The ones who beat and scolded me every day? They are indeed dead, so I am sad every day. It would be better if I did it myself. Ah...

When I think about the regret that can never be made up, I can't stop crying. "

32. I'll be the bait

Xingjiu walked towards Anke, who was breathing heavily as she looked at this girl who was much shorter than herself. There was no sympathy or pity in Xingjiu's eyes, and she didn't even seem to realize that her behavior was a case of repaying kindness with enmity.

There was an innocent malice in those eyes.

Anke stopped struggling and signaled Lid with his eyes to leave quickly. After all, Xingjiu was one of the eight qualified people chosen by the God, and his strength was not at the same level as theirs.

Anke didn't even have time to react before one of his arms was removed.

Looking at Xingjiu in front of him, Anke's eyes were filled with regret. To be fair, he hadn't done anything wrong. Who would have thought that such a young girl was crying day and night not because of her parents, but because she could no longer kill them with her own hands? Xingjiu was a lunatic. At this moment, Anke suddenly understood the oracle. The further away from mortal emotions, the closer to the realm of gods. Xingjiu had emotions, but those emotions were not normal.

Xingjiu raised his hand again, but suddenly Lid's cold voice came from behind:

"Blood is seen in the forbidden land of the divine domain. Are you planning to pollute the Lord God who is about to ascend to heaven?" Xing Jiu withdrew his hand and said in panic:

"Ah... I was careless... What should I do? Will the God-sama blame me?"

Lid's voice was still emotionless, and his cold look made Xingjiu instinctively regard him as one of his own: "You have to clean up the mess you made yourself."

Lid said as he walked towards Xingjiu. Anke took a deep breath, he already knew what Lid was going to do - distract Xingjiu's attention, then suddenly attack her and kill her. Anke felt bad for a moment, in order to "rescue" Xingjiu, he abandoned his duty as a team leader, and brought her here with Lid, but ended up killing each other.

Most importantly, he saw that Xingjiu did not completely trust Lide, and she was also on guard when Lide approached her. Under Anke's gaze, Lide brushed past Xingjiu and walked towards him.

He saw Xingjiu suddenly raise his hand and slash at Lid's neck from behind.

Before Anke could remind him, she felt a strong wind blowing towards her. The next moment, Lid's head seemed to be chopped off. However, Xingjiu's knife stopped three inches from Lid's neck, and the next moment, Xingjiu's head was separated from her body. The whole process took only a moment. Lid didn't even look in her direction. He covered his head and slowly spit out blood.

To be on the safe side, he used his ability to cut through space, but since his original realm was already suppressed, this power also brought him great pain. Lid rubbed his forehead, trying to drive away the dizziness in his brain, but his body was watching Anke's reaction.

To be honest, Lide had anticipated what happened to Xingjiu. He did not believe from the beginning that there were any good people among these monsters who had abandoned humanity. It was impossible for a sheep to hide among a group of lions. Lide had always been on guard against her but did not take the initiative. After meeting Anke, Lide did not negotiate directly with Xingjiu.

Now Reed is observing Anke's reaction. He needs to confirm whether Anke is also hiding something like Xingjiu.

Anke covered his broken arm and was stunned for a long time before he came to his senses and said to Lid:

"You did it?"

Lid didn't give a direct answer, but just said: "We were all wrong."

Anke sighed, and fell to the ground exhausted, breathing hard:

"This is my fault. You asked me if I had contacted Xingjiu, and I told you the information I had investigated, but I misled you. If I hadn't been so careless at the time, you would have contacted Xingjiu in advance and wouldn't have ended up in this situation."

Li Dexin thought that the current situation was exactly what he wanted to see.

He successfully entered the forbidden area of ​​the divine domain without alerting the black-robed man patrolling outside. But he still pretended to be very annoyed and replied: "It's not your fault. It was me who insisted on saving her and dragged you into it."

Anke said to Lid:

"Let's not argue about this for now. What should we do next?" Lid said while thinking:

"Let's not talk about whether this bloody smell will attract something. Xingjiu is already dead, and you are missing an arm. If you return to the barracks at this time, you will definitely be interrogated.

There is no reason. The only way now is to stay here and delay as long as possible. The black-robed people will soon think of searching the forbidden land of the God's Domain, but as long as the war outside starts, they will have to deal with the enemies outside first. We just need to hide for a while."

Anke nodded. He hesitated for a moment and suddenly asked Lid:

"Jade, how long do you think we can hide here?"

Lidd replied:

"I don't know. It depends on how hard they search. This place is bare, without even a forest, so it's hard to hide." Anke asked again:

"Then do you think the intruders could make such a big noise?" Reed replied:

"I don't know about this either. I can only pray now." Anke was silent for a while, and suddenly said:

"I can go back and tell them you are a spy among us."

Lid's eyes suddenly turned cold, but Anke did not notice the change in Lid's expression. He lowered his head, his hands trembling slightly, and said quickly:

"They suspected you when they interrogated me before, so they will definitely believe me this time. I will say that after I found you, you took Xingjiu hostage and fled to the north. I chased you and you cut off one of my arms. I was injured, so they have no reason not to believe me. This will at least buy you a day or two..."

The murderous intent in Lid's eyes slowly faded away. He looked at the frightened Anke and said:

"You don't have to do this. In the military camp, once you are exposed, you will have nowhere to run." Anke took a deep breath and said to him:

"I can't gamble again. Before, I gambled that Xingjiu's family was innocent and harmless, but it almost killed you and me. Now I can't gamble that we can hide here forever without being discovered... If only Xingjiu disappeared, it would be fine for the two of us to return safely, but now I'm in a dilemma. As the team leader, if I stay here, it will definitely trigger a more severe search outside. If I take you back and we are exposed, we will both die without a burial place. If I go back alone, at least I can temporarily divert their attention. You should run quickly."

Anke looked at Lid and said softly:

"When I decided to bring Xingjiu out, I was thinking that I was going to save people to prove that I had not completely turned into a monster. Saving you is the same. This is my request."

Reed looked at him for a long time and then nodded slightly.

Anke stretched out his only remaining fist and lightly touched it with Reed's.

Then he turned around and staggered outside. After taking a few steps, he suddenly stopped and said to Lid:

"After the Awakening Day, I was all alone. Meeting you means I have gained a friend before I leave. When my father passed away, he told me that I had a distant cousin, but she ran away from home a long time ago. During this period, I often thought that she had been away from home for so many years, so she should no longer be in Xiqin, and maybe she didn't die on the Awakening Day. If you can get out and meet her one day, tell her that I died as a human being, and I never brought shame to my family until my death."

Lid was silent for a while and asked:

"What's her name?"

Anke removed his hand that was covering his broken arm, and the bleeding had barely stopped. Perhaps because his body was no longer human, the bleeding could be stopped quickly even without medicine after the arm was broken.

Anke looked at the blood on his palm, recalled, and said to Lid: "Anna."

33. Layered Game

What Anke never expected was that when he returned to the military camp, he would see a raging fire.

Many men in black robes stood outside the flames, looking at the fire with the same puzzled expressions as him, until several black-robed officers hurried over, the team finally welcomed the backbone.

To be fair, with the strength of the black-robed man, he could have put out the fire immediately. But no one did so, because their thinking logic was completely different from that of humans. As long as the fire didn't burn them, they didn't care. Only indifference was closer to the realm of God, and extreme indifference was naturally to ignore everything in the outside world.

Under the cold mask, Anke's eyes reflected the blazing fire. He vaguely felt that it was Lid who set the fire.

Anke didn't know why he had such an idea, but when he saw the fire spreading, he suddenly felt that he had figured out some things: why he felt that Reed's behavior was a little strange, why he always felt a little confused along the way, at this moment he suddenly understood everything.

He didn't need any evidence, nor did he need Reed himself to give him an answer.

When he came back to his senses from his confusion, he found himself surrounded by black-robed superiors.

He was the only one in the crowd, looking exhausted. Although his broken arm was no longer bleeding, his asymmetrical body still made him stand out. All eyes were on him. Those cold eyes were like those of a superior looking down at a criminal, and his heart felt like it was sinking into an icy cave.

"Yueqi, what happened to your arm? Is it related to the fire?"

As the questioning voice sounded, Anke's vision regained focus.

He looked at his companions in black robes, opened his mouth, and replied: "There is a spy among us. I will go after him."

The black-robed officer asked sternly:

"Spy, who is the spy?"

Anke calmed down at this time. He thought quickly and replied without changing his expression:

"Xing San. Xing San was replaced by someone. He was a spy among us! He set the fire, took Xing Jiu hostage and ran away. I chased him, but was beaten by him and had to come back..." The black-robed officer asked coldly:

"Where did they go?"

Anke took a deep breath and replied, "The Immaculate Tree."

At this moment, Anke was grasping at a life-saving straw. He grabbed the shoulder of one of the black-robed officers and said frantically: "They went to the Immaculate Tree! We must send people to encircle and suppress them quickly. That person's target is obviously the Lord God!"

The black-robed officer pushed him hard on the chest, causing him to loosen his grip and stumble back a few steps. Anke said loudly:

"They are at the Immaculate Tree! That man killed Xing San, put on his clothes, passed through the barrier outside the Immaculate Tree, and escaped inside! Send someone to catch him!" The black-robed man in front of him suddenly attacked, and his bandaged hands grabbed his neck with such force that his joints made a cracking sound:

"Yue Qi! Do you think we are stupid? You helped him to give false testimony during the interrogation, and it was you who proposed the change of guard this morning! You said you chased him and had your arm chopped off? Do you think we will believe this level of self-torture?"

The black-robed officer threw Anke to the ground, stomped on his head, and said in a cold voice: "The betrayer will be sentenced to death. Yueqi, as a team leader, you should know this very well."

Anke gasped for breath. It seemed that his vocal cords were damaged and his throat was like a leaky bellows. "What I said... was all true..."

Another black-robed officer said:

"He seems unwilling to tell the truth." Another black-robed officer said:

"Under the extreme punishment, no one can hold back from speaking."

The man in black robe who was stepping on Anke's head snorted coldly, moved his foot away, and said:

"The execution takes time. The question is what should we do now. Yueqi is obviously their accomplice. He set fire to the camp and provided us with false information in order to buy them time. The so-called Xingsan holding Xingjiu hostage is probably just a lie. Xingjiu may also be a traitor. They must be arrested immediately."

"How do you catch it?"
