One day, after forming a contract with the old god,

Chapter 312 312. The Abyss of Illusion 5
The sound of snapping fingers and the ability to teleport reminded Qin Yu subconsciously of He Qiao.

Could it be that he was the one who secretly rescued them?

But isn't he already dead?
Just as he was thinking about it, there was a sound of slightly hasty footsteps not far away.

When the sound approached, Qin Yu saw clearly the face of the person who came, and it turned out to be Shen Zhenan.

It turned out that the abnormal behavior of the invitees also attracted Shen Zhenan's attention.

With the help of spiritual inviters, he found his way here.

In fact, there was a long distance between them.

Fortunately, teleportation solved this journey.

From the look of Shen Zhenan, he didn't seem to notice the sound of snapping fingers.

Qin Yu explained his guess in a few sentences.

After hearing this, Shen Zhenan felt dazed for a moment.

Space spell masters are already rare, especially those with obvious characteristics like He Qiao.

Even if someone wants to imitate, they can't.

Isn't He Qiao dead?
She saw some ripples in the other party's eyes that were like dead water.

As the captain, Shen Zhenan knows his teammates best.

Because there are very few space spell masters, and because He Qiao belongs to the Federation, he received systematic training before joining the team.

For example, you must not reveal your position under any circumstances to avoid being targeted by the enemy.

For this reason, Shen Zhenan also taught him some hiding methods.

He raised his head and looked around, and soon located a bunker that was just big enough to hide one person.

If that person was He Qiao, he would most likely be hiding behind that bunker.

But if the other party is really He Qiao, why do you avoid seeing him?

After he escaped and teamed up with Qin Yu to deal with Shen Wanyuan, he captured the hounds who were ordered to hunt them down.

After being tortured, they admitted their crimes that day:
He Qiao did indeed die in their hands and his body was dumped in the trial area.

As long as Shen Zhenan thinks about this, his head will feel severe pain.

If it weren't for him, He Qiao and Nan Jin wouldn't be implicated.

Just at this moment, a beam of light came over and shone on the bunker.

The shadow hidden behind the bunker was reflected on the ground.

Because of the angle, it is difficult to distinguish the specific outline of the shadow.

Shen Zhen'an's breathing suddenly stagnated and he froze in place.

Qin Yu noticed something strange about him and quickly followed his gaze.

I don't know if the guy behind the bunker noticed their gaze, and moved in the opposite direction uncomfortably, carefully moving.

Looking at this posture, it seems that he wants to leave.

Shen Zhenan was worried about the person behind the bunker. After seeing this move, he hurriedly took two steps forward and called out the other person's name: "He Qiao!"

After hearing his call, the shadow stagnated visibly for a few seconds.

At this moment, the suspicion lingering in Shen Zhenan's head seemed to be verified.

He was ecstatic, knowing that the person behind the bunker must be He Qiao, and his steps became faster and faster.

As if he was afraid that He Qiao would disappear from his eyes again.

He's already missed once.

This time, no mistake can be made no matter what.

Maybe it was because he was thinking about the other person, but now he had no emotion to care about anything else.

However, Qin Yu on the side was extremely sober.

She could clearly see that the shadow changed again and again as it moved and became fixed.

From a shadow with no clear outline, it turned into a guy who looked like a human but not a human being.

Worried about fraud, she quickly stretched out her hand to grab Shen Zhenan, who was rushing forward, and pointed at the very suspicious shadow with her finger.

After seeing it, Shen Zhenan's expression changed and his breathing became a little heavier. How could he become like this...

An indescribable emotion suddenly surged in his chest.

Self-blame, regret and unspeakable heartache.

"He Qiao..."

This call was much lighter than the one just now.

If you don't listen carefully, you won't even be able to hear Shen Zhenan's almost broken voice.

However, this inaudible sound pierced that man's body like a needle.

The shadow that looked like a human being was shocked all over, and he took a few steps back, as if he didn't want Shen Zhenan to see what he looked like now.

"It's me..." Shen Zhenan naturally saw his resistance and quickly identified himself, fearing that he would escape.

The voice just fell.

A slightly panicked finger snap sounded from behind the bunker.

The shadow that had no human appearance at all disappeared on the spot with the snap of fingers.

he left.

When Shen Zhenan ran behind the bunker, it was already empty.

No one could be found anymore.

"How could this happen..." He looked painful, as if he couldn't understand why He Qiao was avoiding him.

As an outsider, Qin Yu felt that the scene just now seemed inexplicably familiar.

I seem to have seen it somewhere.

Yes……

Isn't there such a human-like and non-human existence in the window of the Dream Cube Safe Zone?
She could see that Shen Zhenan was very emotionally unstable because of what happened just now.

To calm him down.

She told the story of the man with the bone spurs.

The boy with bone spurs was also an inviter before, but later died in the trial area due to an accident.

However, he did not turn into a disaster, but appeared again in another form.

He occasionally shows emotions that only humans can have, but his habits and way of thinking are more like those of a catastrophic creature.

In a sense, they are very much like the residents of Dream Cube.

He is neither an inviter nor a disaster in the strict sense, but he will subconsciously safeguard the interests of Dream Cube, and his actions are more inclined to Dream Cube's side.

What if He Qiao also became such a existence due to some kind of chance?

Then his various abnormalities can be explained clearly.

He knew that it would be difficult for him to face Shen Zhenan directly in his current state.

"Is that so..." He moved the corners of his lips and spit out a few words.

In just a few minutes, he looked much more depressed.

"Sorry, I originally planned to deal with that disaster creature with you, but I'm afraid I can't do that now... Even if he really turns out to be like that, he is still one of my team members. I can't just watch him continue to wander in pain like this. Go down, I must bring him back." After Shen Zhen was silent for a few seconds, he came up with the idea of ​​separation.

"Perhaps Nan Jin is still alive..." He exhaled, but his eyes were much firmer than before.

Seeing that he had made up his mind, Qin Yu did not try to persuade him to stay.

He just asked him to be careful on the road.

Before parting, she handed the amulet Nan Jin gave her to Shen Zhen'an: "Take it... I think it's more appropriate to give it to you."

She could see the softness and difference in Shen Zhenan's face when he mentioned Nan Jin's name.

Nanjin meant something extraordinary to him.

Shen Zhenan recognized it as Nan Jin's amulet at a glance: "Thank you."

After taking it, he put it away very carefully, as if to him, it was no longer an ordinary amulet, but a treasure that was hard to find in this world.

At this point, the two of them said goodbye.
