"I will do it," Aoi nodded, "I will do anything..."

......

After the strangers left, the mayor sighed and tapped the table with his index finger.

He looked at the guard on the left and whispered:

"Are you sure this is sane?"

"They can't reach that position, otherwise, the past will happen again," the guard said politely. "I think you must have forgotten the scene at that time?"

"I can't forget it. It's been so many years. I would have forgotten it long ago if I could have."

The mayor's mouth twitched, and he lowered his head to stare at the documents on the table - more and more black water entities appeared on the sea, and they could invade the land again at any time.

"Are you sure that guarantee is valid?"

"Don't act for reassurance," the guard said politely, "for hatred."

"You're almost there! How can we get revenge if we don't survive?"

"Hmm? What revenge?"

The guard's voice suddenly became a little dazed. He covered his wound with a grimace, his arms shaking.

"Uncle, have you found the person who attacked me? Do you want to take action?"

Looking at the guard whose tone had changed drastically, the mayor took a deep breath and said:

"You can go home today for the day. I don't need a wounded man to watch over me."

"But uncle, those outsiders..."

"Go back. I won't say it again. I don't want to see you."

......

After leaving the office building in the town center, the guard took off his black robe and walked on the old streets of Yuan Town.

The town mayor Zu Ligui is his uncle, which enabled him to get this job even though he had not received much education since childhood. In the end, he had a place in the town center.

Even though he sometimes had to do some less glamorous work, he was content.

However, this kind of injury is really unprecedented...

The guard touched the wound on his side and grimaced in pain.

He walked through the streets and alleys, entered an area of ​​bungalows, and came to the door of his home.

"Whatever... I'll just take a break from my busy life..." The guard took out a bunch of keys from his pocket and prepared to open the door.

At this moment, there was a slight disturbance in the air behind him——

"Crack!"

He only had time to squeeze out a breath from his throat before his eyes rolled back and he slammed into the door like a rag doll with its strings cut.

Behind him, Perlis caught the key from his hand, quickly opened the door, and pushed the unconscious guard in.

After doing this, she quickly turned around and locked the door, then welded the door lock with the factor energy butterfly knife.

"..."

Perlis clapped her hands, looked at the guard lying on the ground, and turned his body over with her foot.

Then, Polly mercilessly tore open his coat with a butterfly knife, revealing the bandages wrapped around his abdomen.

There is even time to bandage the wound. It is handled well. It is obvious that he has an accomplice.

Perlis was not in a hurry to wake this guy up. She knew that if this guard could use the power of the underworld, he would definitely resist after waking up.

So, Perlis just quickly tied the guard's hands with a rope and started searching this guy's house.

The room was small, the air was humid, and there was a faint smell of rotten eggs. The walls of the whole room were unevenly peeling, and the wallpaper was curled up at the edges.

There was a bed on the right hand side of the entrance, with messy wrinkles on the bedsheets, as if someone had struggled violently on it. The window next to the bed was covered by red curtains, and a layer of crimson light came in, adding a slightly unusual tone to the room.

At the end of the room, Perlis saw a bookshelf with the books on it collapsed like dominoes, and a few books scattered on the ground.

Pearlis walked to the bookshelf and keenly noticed a photo frame on the top of the bookshelf.

She struggled for a long time, and finally jumped up and managed to grab the edge of the photo frame.

"..."

Polys puffed out her cheeks in frustration and then turned her gaze to the photo in the frame.

This is a group photo. The background looks like a lake. On the left is the mayor named Zuligui, and on the right is a man in black. His face has been painted over with black strokes, making it blurry.

This guy is a relative of the mayor... It seems he is not immune from the connection...

But who is the person on the right? Why is his face painted over?

Anyway, let's take this photo back first... Thinking so, Perlis took the photo down from the wall.

Then, she went to the bathroom, got a bucket and filled it with water, and poured it on the guard's face.

"what!"

The guard woke up and found himself lying on the ground with his hands tied.

In front of him, a girl shrouded in crimson light and shadow was looking down at him, holding a silver blade in her hand.

When the guard saw the blade flashing red, he panicked:

"Don't...don't! Wait, what are you doing! My uncle is..."

"Tell me, where did Lian go?" Perlis squatted down and put the butterfly knife in front of the man. "You should know her name, right?"

Although Perlis seemed nonchalant, she was always alert to the guard's movements to prevent him from suddenly using the power of the underworld.

However, the guard was completely panicked, and he didn't look like someone with that kind of power:

"Didn't my uncle tell me? The surveillance camera is broken and we can't find it!"

"Oh? Do you want me to remind you?"

Perlis gently pressed the tip of the knife against the bandage on the guard's abdomen, and he immediately let out a scream:

"Ah, no!!"

"Where did this injury come from?" Perlis asked coldly.

"I! I don't know!"

To Perlis's surprise, the guard suddenly burst into tears:

"I was like this when I woke up in the office. I was in so much pain! I don't know who hurt me. The surveillance system is broken and I'm more anxious than you!"

This time, Perlis was at a loss. She frowned slightly and looked at the expression on the guard's face.

This guy doesn't seem to be lying...

Seeing that Perlis didn't speak, the guard continued to cry:

"I thought it was you outsiders who stabbed me. Do you know how scared I was?"

"You should be afraid," Perlis said coldly, "I was the one who stabbed you."

After saying that, she stood up and looked down at the crying guard.

He must be the one standing at my door last night... Factor entanglement won't lie...

If he doesn't remember, is it possible that... someone left his blood there on purpose?

If that's the case, it's a brilliant misdirection - misleading us into investigating the guards and then shifting the blame to the mayor.

There is another possibility... that is, the possession ability is similar to that of the [Black Angel]... He did those things after being possessed, which can explain why there are remnants of the power of the underworld there.

After hearing Perlis admit that she was the one who stabbed her, the guard's expression froze for a moment, and then he became hopeless:

"You...why did you hurt me!"

"Because you were fiddling with the lock on my door late at night."

As Perlis spoke, she retracted the strong factor energy on the silver blade, then lifted the guard's chin with the tip of the blade, forcing him to look at her:

"Tell me, why did you do that?"

"I... no no no, I have no impression of that at all! Impossible!"

The guard subconsciously wanted to move his limbs, but with a butterfly knife pressed against his chin, what could he dare to do?

"I...I swear to you..."

"Do you think I believe your lies?" Perlis put a little more force on the silver blade, causing the guard's body to tremble. "I'll give you one more chance. If you know anything, tell me immediately."

"I really don't know! I...I..."

As he spoke, the guard's eyes suddenly dimmed and the corners of his mouth twitched.

"I have often lost my memory for a period of time since I was a child. I don't remember anything during that period... When I come to my senses, I often find that I am in another place... I have done something that I don't even know..."

"So... I dropped out of school very early, you know? I was often in class one second and in the fields the next! Teachers and classmates said that I ran out of the classroom laughing, calling everyone stupid!"

"If my uncle hadn't arranged a job and a place for me, I would have been abandoned long ago! He's very nice to me, but he never talks to me about anything!"

"I lost my memory last night. I don't remember anything! I was already injured when I woke up! I asked my uncle about the surveillance camera and he said it was broken. I really didn't lie to you!"

The guard's voice became a little hysterical, and for a moment, Perlis slightly frowned her delicate brows.

It really didn't seem like he was lying, and obviously, at this life-and-death moment, lying wouldn't do much good.

But Perlis did not believe his words. She pushed the silver blade a little harder and whispered:

"I know you are miserable, then what?"

"And then?" The guard's eyes widened in horror. "I already told you, it has nothing to do with me! I don't know!"

"You have been with the mayor for so long, you must know something that interests me."

Perlis raised her head and gently tapped her chin with her hand, pretending to be an innocent murderous pervert.

She knew that this was scary, and the guard was obviously shaking even more.

"You...what do you want to know!?"

"Where is the Sky Eye's Facility Zero?"

"I don't know! But...but..."

The guard glanced at Perlis, swallowed, and whispered:

"My uncle knows... He knows, but he doesn't want to tell you..."

Ha, as expected, the mayor knows where the Sky Eye’s facility zero is, that old fox.

Perlis's eyes changed slightly, and she asked as if nothing had happened:

"I need you to ask the mayor for help. Can you do it?"

Honestly speaking, Perlis didn't think this guy would help. At most, he would just pretend to agree and then run away.

She didn't expect this guy to help, she just wanted him to take a message to the mayor -

——You can’t hide away. If you don’t cooperate, it will be hard for you to have a good ending.

Obviously, there is only one reason why the mayor knew the information but didn't tell anyone:

He wanted to see the Great Wall destroyed.

That guy is most likely related to the Black Tide Cult and is an anti-humanist.

"..."

Sure enough, after hearing what Perlis said, a gleam of light flashed in the guard's eyes, and he agreed with a trembling voice:

"I...I'll try...No, I'll ask for you, for sure!"

"You'd better know how to do it, otherwise, I can still find you."

Perlis said as she moved the butterfly knife away from the guard's chin and untied him.

The guard stood up tremblingly, no longer intending to resist. He quickly glanced at Perlis's eyes and whispered:
