"Who are you?"
The "young man" asked the spinning cone.
"You're here? I knew you'd come. "
The vertebral form repeated the same words.
"Do you know who I am?"
The "young man" frowned and asked again. He was actually very reluctant to ask this question.
But the cone still repeated the same words.
The "young man" vaguely found that his head began to hurt as if it was being torn apart again, and the invisible cage appeared once again.
He was shocked and did not dare to faint here. The white monster might be lurking somewhere, and it was very dangerous.
And the question he asked did not get any answer, so the "young man" had to quickly retreat.
The black hole was very deep, but it could not stop him from returning to the surface again.
A long curve suddenly appeared in the deep hole and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
After he left, a pale, light-skinned monster with a pendant around its neck crawled out of the dark corner of the deep hole.
…
He was in a hurry when he came out, so he only told Zhuo Ma to go back and wait for him. Only now did he remember that they were no longer living in the shack under the bridge, and he did not know where they were going to live, so he had to go back to St. Proteus University.
Along the way, he was actually thinking about the same question. The question was not whether he could remember where his home was, nor was it what the miraculous cone said: if he remembered his home, he would forget the prairie.
He did not know why he was so confident. Even though the appearance of the spinning cone deeply shocked him, he did not think that what it said was right, just like the blue-haired old man, he did not think that what he said was right either.
They did not say the extremely strong uneasiness in the depths of his heart, but if they were right, he would definitely feel it!
So, where did this uneasiness come from, and where did it lead?
He found that as long as he thought about this question, his head would not hurt as if it was being torn apart. Instead, there was an almost mysterious force that attracted him.
He did not care about the armor, nor did he care about the boundless combat power. He was in a trance, attracted by a more fundamental force.
…
It was close to dawn when he returned to St. Proteus University.
Zhuo Ma was still standing guard at the exit of the building, but he was not alone. Other than Kasuga, Xiu, and the daughter of the Kasuga family, there were some other unknown people.
As soon as the news spread last night, Zhuo Ma knew that this matter couldn't be covered up, so he didn't leave. Instead, he had been waiting here.
As expected, not long after, from the guards to the military, to the officials, and even the purple emblem Hull family sent people to investigate.
But it was not an earth-shattering matter, and these people were not high-ranking. After asking Zhuo Ma a few more times, only a few people were left to follow him, and the rest left.
This disappointed Zhuo Ma. He thought that the military would recruit Cesia at all costs, but the reality was that the temple did not send anyone.
The reason was that Zhuo Ma vaguely knew from talking to these officials and other follow-up personnel — it was said that the Lord had already arrived in the Sacred City, and the higher-ups were so nervous that they couldn't care less about what was happening below.
What was even weirder was that an official said that he had received news from the Great Shrine that something was wrong with the Holy Armor yesterday afternoon, but he did not know what exactly was wrong.
When the 'young man' returned to the building, he had already changed his clothes. They were not the right size, and he looked a little awkward.
"You're Cesia?" Before Zhuo Ma could say anything, a man in a black suit asked expressionlessly.
"Who are you?"
The 'young man' was also shocked by this group of people, but he was relieved when he saw that Zhuo Ma and the others were here.
"I'm an investigator from the Hull family!" The person did not even look up. He looked at the records in his hand and said, "According to the investigation, someone said that he saw you use the Hull family's battle technique. Can you explain why?"
Although this person was an investigator, the other officials and even the person in charge of the military's follow-up did not dare to speak before him, let alone interrupt him.
The 'young man' sized him up and said, "What Hull family's battle technique? I don't know. "
The person frowned and said unhappily, "I'm questioning you on behalf of the Hull family. If it's proven that the battle technique you used came from the Hull family, and you refuse to tell us where it came from, we'll take necessary measures against you."
Seeing that the situation was not right, Zhuo Ma hurried forward and said in a low voice, "Sir Investigator, we're from the Great Prairie. We don't know the rules, but we really didn't steal the Hull family's battle technique. Maybe it's just a coincidence. He's my nephew, and he's never left the Great Prairie. Really."
The person glanced at Zhuo Ma and snorted. "Did I ask you a question? Whether it's theft or not will be decided by our investigation. What you say doesn't matter. "
"Yes, yes, yes. Cesia, whatever Sir asks you, just answer honestly. The Purple Emblem Hull family is a famous family, and they won't wrong you." Zhuo Ma kept nodding and bowing to the person, but it also deliberately flattered the Hull family so that they wouldn't be so difficult to talk to.
The Hull family investigator looked at Zhuo Ma coldly and turned to the 'young man'. "If you don't want to tell the truth, I'll bring you back to the Hull family to do some necessary tests. How about it? Do you want to talk here or go to the Hull family? "
Zhuo Ma broke out in a cold sweat. He didn't expect things to turn out like this. At this moment, he vaguely realized that his understanding of these rich and noble families was really as that vicious woman Niyue said — very childish!
And he actually wanted to negotiate with the Temple of God!
Just an investigator from the Hull family was enough to suppress him!
He really didn't know his place!
He swallowed hard and quickly said to the investigator, "Sir, sir, please listen to me. We're willing to join the Hull family, we —"
In a moment of desperation, he panicked for a moment. When he said this, he realized that he had made a big mistake again!
The investigator was really stunned for a moment. Then, he couldn't help but laugh. "You want to join the Hull family? Who do you think you are? Did your head get run over by a car? "
Zhuo Ma's forehead was full of sweat. He was in a mess and completely lost his usual standard. He still tried to salvage the situation. "Sir, I didn't mean that. I meant that Cesbia has great potential. I can guarantee that you've never seen someone with such great potential …"
The investigator stared at Zhuo Ma with his eyes wide open. He didn't expect this guy to dare to say this. Moreover, he even pulled up his sleeves as he spoke. He was instantly furious. "F * ck off! Who do you think you are? How dare you look down on the Hull family's potential! "
He suddenly waved his hand and pushed Zhuo Ma aside. He was probably impatient, so he reached out to take the 'young man' away.
Different from the last time, Zhuo Ma wasn't caught. The 'young man' frowned and gave him a simple backhand slap.
The investigator probably didn't expect that someone dared to slap him. It wasn't just his face, but the Hull family's face!
How many years had it been? In the Holy City, or even the whole world, who dared to touch the Hull family?!
However, someone had done it today, and it was done in front of a few officials and military officers. The loud slap made everyone shudder with fear!
This was a blatant slap to the Purple Emblem Hull family's face!
The few officials and military officers were secretly pleased. Motherf * cker Berg, it's your fault for being so used to doing whatever you want. Do you think that apart from the Great Shrine, no one else is in your eyes? You don't even speak nicely when you ask a question. You're so arrogant. Moreover, it's still unknown whether this young man stole the Hull family's combat skills or not.
However, they all took a few steps back subconsciously. Everyone knew that the Hull family's investigator was indeed arrogant, but they did have the capital to be arrogant. Other than the Hull family backing them, they were also very powerful themselves.
Every Hull family investigator had a certain level of personal strength. Level-3 combat skills were the basic requirement.
Now that they were suddenly slapped, wouldn't they immediately want to "kill and set fire"?
It was safer to stay further away.
However, when they retreated and were ready to watch the show again, they were horrified to find that the investigator had disappeared!
This sudden panic made them lose their heads, and they looked around subconsciously.
Zhuo Ma and Ran Ran were completely stunned, not knowing how to react.
After a while, the crowd heard a figure struggling to get up from the flower bed in the distance. He shouted with shame and anger, "You sinner who stole the Hull family's combat skills! How dare you sneak attack me! You're dead!"
He instantly determined that the "young man" was a thief and a sneak attack. Then, he made the wise decision not to come and take revenge himself. Instead, he got up and ran toward the four-wheeler, leaving in a hurry.
The few officials and military officers were so shocked that their jaws dropped. They only came back to their senses after a long while.
Sending the Hull family investigator flying into the flower bed with one slap, he was indeed not only brave, but he was also quite capable. However, no matter how capable he was, he would still be finished when facing a giant like the Purple Emblem Hull family!
One of the military officers said kindly, "We won't ask you anything. Young man, you're in big trouble this time! Run for your life, run as far as you can. Let's see if the supreme god is watching over you. "
Zhuo Ma came back to its senses and couldn't care less anymore. It made its last effort and said, "Sir, can Cesbia enter the army? I beg — "
The officer hurriedly interrupted him and waved his hand repeatedly. "I don't think I'm tired of living. Who dares to provoke them? Don't say anymore. Let's hurry up and leave. It'll be too late if we don't leave now."
Zhuo Ma's face immediately turned ashen. The "young man" frowned. He didn't know why his hostility was growing, but now that things had come to this, there was nothing for him to regret. At worst, he would return to the prairie. He didn't believe that the Purple Emblem Hull family would be able to hunt him down.
Although Ran Ran didn't want to leave the Holy City, she knew that she was in big trouble this time. Even the daughter of the main family didn't dare to keep her anymore. She didn't want the contract anymore and just let her go.
Zhuo Ma calmed itself down, but it was still in a panic. It took the money from the "young man"'s pocket, found a car, and went straight to the railway station.
But as soon as he arrived, he found that he could not escape. The Hull family had arrived.
