Shanghai, Tiantanghe Cemetery.

Tongguan sat on the stone steps, holding Chang Nian who was sleeping heavily, and looked into the distant sky.

His back was facing two white tombstones, but his heart always felt empty because the tomb was also a tomb.

It was already ten o'clock on January 3, and he had been trapped in the cemetery for half a day. Even the commission task was over.

He didn't worry about Ji Li's mission. I think even if he didn't go, Fang Shenyan would probably go. With those two people, it would be difficult for them to happen unexpectedly.

In the clear and bright wind, Tongguan lowered his head and looked at Chang Nian's sleeping position where he was very dependent on his sleeping position, but he was thinking about other things.

Since Ji Li showed him the photo of the Kyoto mission, the relationship between the two parties has eased to a certain extent and they have been in peace.

Through repeated mission experiences, he and Ji Li often have highlights of cooperation with Ji Li from time to time.

But avoiding many things without thinking does not mean that they do not exist.

Eighteen years ago, Ji Li broke into his house with three men in black robes and forced his parents away. This is a fact.

Even if he really stands from a rational perspective, and briefly form an alliance with Ji Li, and jointly discover whether there is a secret behind it, this matter is still like a thorn in his throat.

After all, so far, neither he nor Ji Li have found any clues, about eighteen years ago, or fifty years ago.

Tongguan doesn’t do those stupid things. Ji Li is Ji Li. He has many secrets, but he is definitely standing opposite to Tianhai.

There are many hidden things behind the matter about parents.

Fifty years ago, Tong'en and Ji Li made friends, but how did they live until 18 years ago? What happened in the thirty-two years of breaking?

For Tongguan, although he did not unearth the truth, he had already made a general judgment on the matter.

The first guess is about his parents.

Tong En, Ajing, as a Tianhai clerk fifty years ago, gave birth to him twenty-five years ago and accompanied him until he was seven years old.

These seven years were probably earned at some great cost.

As for the second guess, it is related to Ji Li, Tianhai and Tongguan itself.

For so long, I have never had any clues about this matter, and there is no clue to storm.

Tongguan has a more bold and abstract guess - what power is deliberately hiding clues and designing a situation to delay the time when the truth is released.

Why did Tongguan and Chang Nian come to the sky and sea? It was driven by fate, but it was more of a human operation.

They were led to Paradise River Cemetery by an organization called "Suicide Club", and after opening a tomb, they entered the Eleventh Branch.

This place revealed the veil of his parents' secrets, but stopped there, and the subsequent clues never appeared again.

This is a thunder.

The lead was ignited after coming to the sky and sea, but it never exploded. But time is always passing, and the lead is always shortening.

Tongguan could feel that when one day the thunder exploded, it would be a very strong impact on him, Ji Li, and the situation in the entire Tianhai.

Including now.

Some people don’t let him participate in commission tasks, and the purpose is to delay the time of the thunder bomb.

Tongguan's eyes were once again set in the distance. There were starry lights on the traceless night sky, as if the road ahead was bright, but this road was so dark for him.

He knew his personality - following the rules and following the rules is almost rigid.

At this moment, he was also wondering whether behind this character, he also foreshadowed his destiny and was completely framed by some things.

"What time is it?"

Chang Nian opened her sleepy eyes, and her tone was a little lazy, and she could tell that she was sleeping with peace of mind.

Tongguan held her shoulders, stood up on the stone steps, gently stamped her numb feet, and said to her with a smile:

"Let's go, we should be able to go home."

...

On the taxi to the high-speed rail station, Tongguan, who had been tossing for a day and a night, also became sleepy and drowsy in the back seat.

Chang Nian held his arm and leaned his head against his shoulders. His long hair was hanging down to block his face, as if he was resting, but in fact his eyes were always open.

Tonight, Tongguan, which is back in front of her parents' grave, is very different from the past.

Before this, when facing his parents, Tongguan always fell into melancholy and confusion, telling the past with deep bitterness and hatred.

But this time he didn't mention any of these things, just chatting about family matters and talking about the current situation, and his mood was particularly peaceful.

Tongguan has a strong appearance, but in fact, the environment he grew up in since childhood has inevitably led to a weak side in his character.

But in this situation, he had to hide his weakness and force himself to be strong.

I always understand everything, so she doesn't say it, but just silently supports it behind her back.

She could guess what Tongguan’s performance represents tonight.

This is definitely not a benign signal, which means that Tongguan has confirmed something in his heart.

But he has a flaw in his personality, he may not be able to make the most correct decision.

Chang Nian is no less than her husband in many aspects, and is even stronger than her, so she can basically guess what she can think of in Tongguan.

"If...if...if this thunder really blows up one day, it will inevitably be a disaster to Tongguan.

He can do everything in everything, but his parents' affairs have become a shadow of his life.

At that time, he will definitely make mistakes, or even extreme decisions, and I must stop him, otherwise…”

Outside the car window that was passing by, the reflection of the Shanghai Stock Exchange was gradually moving away from them. The couple who had taken root in this land were destined to stay away from it.

No one can predict what kind of situation we will face when we come back next time.

Chang Nian listened to the gradual calming breathing of Tongguan on her head, and she looked at the familiar streets with a state of remembrance.

The bus stop sign that passed by, the bus that could not be stopped, a woman in a purple masked dress...

An old woman burning paper on the roadside, burned yellow paper floating away in the wind, a woman wearing purple clothes...

A stray dog ​​frightened by a vehicle, a swaying flower and grass as it crawled into the bushes, a woman in a masked body in purple...

Chang Nian's face began to become solemn. She pressed Tongguan's arm and slowly sat up straight without disturbing him. Her sharp eyes looked out of the car window.

In just 5 seconds, the woman wearing a purple dress and a mask has appeared three times in a row, which is definitely not an ordinary scene.

Although the scene was very supernatural, she did not analyze it in the direction of the ghost because she had heard this masked woman many times from other people.

This woman has no name, Ji Li calls her "Miaojiang".

Miaojiang in Shanghai market watched the departure of Tongguan and Chang Nian in a way of watching.

Then, the contrary, a more conclusive truth - being trapped in Shanghai was also caused by Miaojiang.

Chang Nian's breathing was a little messy. She realized something very terrible, but it was impossible.

Miaojiang and Gu Xingjian are bound to each other.

Miaojiang traps them here and is not allowed to participate in commission tasks. Is it related to Gu Xingjian?

But Gu Xingjian is dead, isn’t he...

This time, even Chang Nian felt involuntary fear of the well-known Gu Xingjian, and she subconsciously thought of the World Trail Museum.

Tongguan was trapped in relief and almost died tragically. Behind this was the method of Miaojiang and Gu Xingjian.

Chang Nian's eyes began to be extremely angry, and her anger was about to burn her mind, making her look back at the farther and farther away in Shanghai and pronounce their names.
