With Kou Ruhai's help, Qin Hu didn't join the Nightwatcher army. He only stayed in the colosseum as a city guard for a month or so before leaving the Great Wall of Calamity on the new Polar Night's airship.
He had a more important mission. Coincidentally, Li Xiang had opened up the trade channel between the seven continents and the Great Wall of Disaster, so he took the opportunity to return to the Qin family.
After receiving Qin Hu's report, Qin Youheng felt more at ease. Li Xiang did not ignore it, which at least meant that the young master had some suspicions about the Goddess of Disaster.
Doubting the Goddess of Disaster's system was like doubting the gods of the olden days. Such words would probably cause a thousand ripples. Qin Youheng was also the second-in-command of the Qin family, a Level 3 player. His authority in the family was increasing day by day. If he was abandoned by the tarot cards and his identity was exposed, what awaited him was probably the fate of being exiled to the Great Wall of Disaster.
However, he sensed that these three things were very important. Concealing them might cause a big problem, so he could only bite the bullet and report them to Li Xiang to see how he would deal with them. Fortunately, Li Xiang's reaction did not disappoint him.
There was something wrong with the Goddess of Disaster, Lancelot might not be dead, and the Evil Leader Sect was about to make a big move. If any of these things were spread, it would be enough for the seven continents to enter an even more tense period of martial law.
"How was the young master's reaction at that time?" Qin Youheng calmly asked Qin Hu as he drank tea in the study.
Qin Hu sorted out his thoughts, bowed, and replied, "The young master was very calm. Before I revealed my identity, he was even lamenting about the decline of the Great Wall of Disaster. He hoped that the Great Wall of Disaster could be rebuilt and truly become the frontline of human resistance against disaster, not the trash can of the seven continents' aristocratic families. However, before saying these things, the young master had clearly seen through my identity, which is why he spoke of these things without any reservations. After that, I reported your secret letter. The young master seemed to be deep in thought for a long time, but there was no panic on his face. It seems that he either knew about these things or had the same suspicions long ago! "
"Three things, and none of them made him panic?" Qin Youheng looked at Qin Hu in disbelief. The first time he had seen Li Xiang, he had felt that this young master was different from the rest. He was clearly a Magician, but in the face of a group of players who could kill him thousands of times, he was not afraid at all. It was as if he had long known their identities.
The three things that he had investigated could be said to be earth-shattering. Could it be that he could also predict the future?
Could it be the power of the Book of Prophecy?
Qin Youheng was a bit puzzled. However, the more mysterious and powerful the Young Master was, the better it was for him. When he first joined the Tarot Card Association, he was convinced by Lancelot's ability, the help he could provide from the Big Acana card, and Bai Lili's terrifying leadership skills.
Now that he was gone, the Tarot Card Fool's Faction was led by the young master. However, once they found out that Lancelot was not dead and might even fall into the Disaster camp, where would they go from there? He had to think about his future.
It was impossible to betray the human camp, but whether or not the Young Master was worth following was something that needed to be discussed.
It was a good thing that Li Xiang could show a side that even he couldn't see through.
"I'm not panicking, I'm sure!" Qin Hu nodded. He suddenly remembered something and said in a low voice, "Before Young Master left, he asked me to find Miss Ye Tong and Miss Yu Zhitong to investigate the orphanage where Young Master used to live. He seems to be … very suspicious of that place. "
"Orphanage? These two ladies were the same as the Young Master. They used to live in an orphanage when they were young. However, I remember that we've already investigated it. It was just an ordinary orphanage. Miss Yu Zhitong burned it down a long time ago. There's nothing special about it. " Qin Youheng frowned. He was not the only one. He reckoned that all the Big Acana card holders of the Fool's Faction had done similar investigations.
Li Xiang's personal files had been destroyed long ago when Li Yetong was taken to the Bai family. All they had now was a clean file. There was no useful information in it.
"As for the personal files, the various organizations have rumors about the siblings' background. I've asked my father, and he's certain that they're the daughter of the evil leader, Bai Lili. As for Ye Tong's father …" Qin Youheng frowned when he said this. Actually, the most likely person was the White King. However, without concrete evidence, no one could make wild guesses.
Moreover, even if it really was the White King, who would dare to say it out loud?
They could only confirm that Ye Tong was definitely not Lancelot's daughter.
Apart from that, what else could be recorded in the personal files? Back then, they had probably been destroyed to hide their true identities. There was not much use for it now. Why was Li Xiang so anxious to investigate this?
Qin Hu shook his head. His status was even lower, and the things he could see were limited. He could not give Qin Youheng any useful suggestions.
"In any case, Ah Hu, immediately inform Miss Ye Tong and Miss Yu that we'll do our best to help the Young Master. Since we've decided to be on the same boat, we'll have to steel our hearts and not waver." Qin Youheng had been able to climb to his current position in the Qin family because he had the same way of doing things as Qin Hu. As long as he had set his mind on something or someone, he would do whatever it took to accomplish it. He would follow them.
"Also, since the Young Master intends to mechanize the Great Wall of Disaster, the Qin family should also show some sincerity. No matter what Big Brother thinks, I'll allocate a fleet of airships to fund the new Polar night. After all, the Qin family has always relied on the Bai family. The Bai family is now the protector of the new Polar night. Big Brother won't suspect anything."
"Yes!"
.....
After the Lighthouse Academy was disbanded, Ye Tong was sent to the King's University by Bai Zhun. Yu Zhitong, who had returned to General Othello's house from the Nidri family, also entered the King's University to study. The two of them were originally the most outstanding students in this trial. Now that they had entered the King's University at the same time, they had countless followers.
After killing her father with her own hands, Yu Zhitong was in a trance for a long time. It was only recently that she woke up from her absent-minded state. The ten major legions had become her private legions, and she had also become the only magic user in the seven continents who was still studying in school but already had a large number of troops in her hands.
The Nidri family was currently in an intense argument. Yu Zhitong was still Dale's nominal adopted daughter. She still had the idea of entrusting the Nidri family to Yu Zhitong, but now that the other party's true identity had been revealed, she was the only daughter of General Othello. Could it be that the Nidri family was going to betray the Black King and join the military?
Qin Hu was a player and had a pass to enter and exit the university freely. Soon, he met two graceful young girls in the reception room of the King's University.
They were wearing tight uniforms. In more than a year, they had grown from young girls to slender and elegant young girls. The VIP room in the reception room was extremely sealed. However, when the two of them walked in from outside, there were many other students beside them. At this moment, they were all standing respectfully outside the door, as if they were escorts.
"Ladies, these are the original words of Lord Li Xiang." Although Qin Hu was a player, he treated them as respectfully as if they were his superiors.
"Thank you, Lord Qin Hu. We understand." Li Yetong nodded. She was still very respectful to a player.
Ever since Yu Zhitong had untied the knot in her heart, she had returned to their previous relationship in the orphanage. Although she had formed her own faction now, she no longer fought to the death with Ye Tong. The competition in the school was also a fair competition.
She tilted her head. It seemed like she did not hear Qin Hu's words, but it also seemed like she had heard everything.
Qin Hu glanced at the two of them. Li Yetong grew up in the Bai family. She had the demeanor of a well-bred young lady. She was very scheming and had the shadow of her elder brother, Li Xiang. On the other hand, Yu Zhitong had a strange personality and treated people coldly. If it were not for her strength and beauty, she would not be as attractive to young people as Li Yetong.
However, she gave Qin Hu a faint sense of unease. Even though he knew that Li Yetong had the Book of Prophecy, he did not feel any danger.
However, it was different when facing Yu Zhitong. This quiet girl with a strange personality was like a poisonous snake. Being stared at by her eyes made him feel uneasy.
If such a person became an enemy, no one would be able to sleep or eat well.
"Since I have passed the message, I will not disturb the two ladies' studies. I will take my leave first." Qin Hu did not want to have any deep entanglements with them. This time, he came to meet Li Yetong in the name of Qin Youheng. The Qin family and the Bai family had a close relationship. Qin Youheng was also Li Yetong's teacher, so no one would suspect Li Xiang.
Yu Zhitong and Li Yetong's relationship could not be hidden. Now, the two of them were inseparable. It was not a secret that Yu Zhitong had taken over General Shogun's inheritance and returned to General Othello's family. Her accompanying Li Yetong would not raise any suspicion.
However, it was not good to be together for too long.
Qin Hu was about to stand up and leave when he was suddenly stopped by Yu Zhitong.
"Has the Qin family investigated the orphanage?"
Yu Zhitong's eyes were as sharp as a falcon's. Qin Hu did not dare to look at her directly. He was the player, but he felt very guilty.
He lowered his head and hesitated. In the end, he replied, "We have investigated it. There are no abnormalities. I believe that it is not only us. General Othello, Lieutenant General Ji Zhanxue, the Nidri family, and many other forces related to the two of you have investigated this orphanage."
"And the result?" Li Yetong asked. Her memory was the same as Li Xiang's. Ever since she left the orphanage, her memory had become blurry. Moreover, she was still young when she left. She could only remember some unpleasant experiences. She was discriminated against because of her crippled legs, so she subconsciously chose to forget those memories.
The strange thing was that she was sure that her memory of the orphanage was very messy. However, she was already a Magician, and her brother was a player. Why was it still like this?
What kind of power could block a player's memory?
In the past, she felt that the memory was useless and did not want to think about it. Therefore, Li Yetong did not pay much attention to it. Now that her brother had sent people to look for her and Yu Zhitong, there must be something wrong with the orphanage.
"Everything is normal," Qin Hu replied without hesitation.
No matter who he asked, the answer was the same. He could not find anything wrong with it.
The only suspicious point was probably that the three of them, who had such shocking identities, were actually put into the same orphanage by a freak combination of factors.
As for how Li Xiang and Li Yetong got in, only Bai Lili and the others knew.
Yu Zhitong was sent to the orphanage by her mother. She was still a baby at that time, but she was seen by Ji Zhanxue's people on the way.
It was an expected answer.
Since so many major forces could not find anything wrong with the orphanage, then there really was nothing wrong with it.
But …
It was too normal. Li Yetong and Yu Zhitong, who were sensitive, felt something was wrong.
After Qin Hu left, the two of them looked at each other.
"Actually … my memory of the orphanage was not erased," Yu Zhitong suddenly said.
"What did you say!"
Li Yetong was stunned. She covered her mouth and asked in a low voice.
"What do you mean erased? What do you know?"
"I, I don't remember clearly, but I know, I know some things that you have all forgotten." Yu Zhitong's eyes were filled with confusion. Wasn't the motivation for her to find Li Xiang all these years because he abandoned her?
Li Yetong followed Yu Zhitong back to the dormitory.
Yu Zhitong's room was similar to the one in Hou City. The whole wall was still filled with information about Li Xiang and his sister. Li Yetong had heard about her fanaticism for her brother. It was not uncommon for love to turn into hate.
But seeing it with her own eyes, Li Yetong was still shocked.
There was actually a lot of information about her in there.
"Look." Yu Zhitong took out a yellowed photo from the drawer. In the photo, Li Yetong was sitting in a wheelchair and smiling. Her smile looked sweet, but Li Yetong, who was familiar with her character, could tell at a glance that this was a fake smile.
At that time, she did not know how to smile.
When was this photo taken?
There was a person whose head was gouged out. It was Li Xiang.
Yu Zhitong's cheeks reddened. She gently covered the hole with her finger.
"This is our family photo?" Li Yetong did not care about the headless Li Xiang. Yu Zhitong must have hated her brother back then.
"Yes, I want to ask you, do you really remember these friends?" Yu Zhitong took a deep breath and asked.
Remember?
Don't remember?
Who are they?
Thinking about it carefully, those friends in her memory had dark cheeks. They were like faceless monsters.
How could she remember what they looked like?
The smile in the photo was so unfamiliar.
"You don't remember, you definitely don't remember. Or are you sure that your memory in the orphanage is real?" Yu Zhitong took a deep breath and whispered, "If it's real, then there must be some false. But we can't tell which part is real. "
"What the hell is going on?" Li Yetong carefully looked at the people in the photo. She did not recognize any of them.
Except for her brother and Yu Zhitong.
"The opportunity came after I left there. All this time, Brother Li Xiang … After he brought you away from the orphanage, I always thought that you guys had abandoned me. Also, I thought that you guys were also part of the orphanage, part of their faction. Later, I mustered up my courage and used a series of schemes to finally escape from the orphanage. I also set fire to that damn place. "
"Because I left, I remember a lot of things clearly. I didn't forget like you. For example, the physical examination every day. For example, the cold face that didn't look like a nurse. For example, these friends who were imprisoned like us but were carefree. "
After her reminder, Li Yetong felt a headache. She remembered something, but couldn't remember anything.
"After leaving, I began to investigate your whereabouts. At the same time, I was wary of the orphanage's tracking. But I was surprised to find that your memory of that place seemed to have changed. I was convinced that you were not their people. I'm afraid that you escaped in another way. "
"Then, the news of the fire in the orphanage spread. No one came to chase me, but I still didn't understand. That place was too different from the real orphanage. What kind of place was it? I didn't dare to say, so I could only investigate silently. Interestingly, there was no news of those friends. No one in the seven continents could find them. "
"There's something fishy." Li Yetong looked at her and finally understood a lot of things.
No wonder Yu Zhitong changed from an enemy to a friend. She was always worried about her and her brother's identity.
"The only person who might know about that place is my mother, Bai Zhitong. I will investigate her. You go to the military to look for your personal files." Yu Zhitong had never seen her birth mother. Although she returned as the only daughter of General Othello, she was still in a daze because she killed Owl with her own hands. So, she had never seen her mother.
Now, Qin Hu's sudden appearance made the doubts in her heart explode.
