Chapter 1416 – Questioning in the Forest

　　In the countless buzzing sounds, Zuo Qing’s voice sounded intermittently, even if the crowd tried hard to distinguish, they could only barely hear the words “Vishnu”, “king face”.

　　With an earth-shaking roar, the phone was instantly cut off, leaving only the rustling murmur echoing in the ears.

　　The crowd gathered around the coffin and froze in place at the same time.

　　”Just now …… that was Commander Zuo s voice, right?”

　　”That’s right, but what’s with those background sounds? Where is Commander Left?”

　　”Did you guys hear that? It seems like he shouted ‘Vishnu’ ……”

　　The crowd glanced at each other, and their expressions immediately became grave.

　　Although the time that the phone was connected, added up to only five or six seconds, from the voice coming out of the phone, Zuo Qing was definitely in trouble!

　　”I’ll go find Brother Gun!” Without saying a word, Lin Qiye directly stood up and quickly rushed towards the depths of the island.

　　Baili Fatty looked at Lin Qiye’s departing back and let out a long sigh ……

　　Deep Forest.

　　”Brother Gun?” Lin Qiye traveled through the towering dense forest, constantly calling out to Li Clang.

　　”Tsk, young man don’t be so impatient, take your time to say what’s going on.”

　　After Lin Qiye called out several times in a row, a voice came out from the boulder behind him, he looked back and saw that Li Clang, who was wearing a flowery shirt, had already laid down on the rock at some point, lazily basking in the sun.

　　”Brother Gun, something seems to have happened on Commander Zuo’s side.” Lin Qiye spoke solemnly.

　　”Hmm?” Li Clang raised an eyebrow, “How so?”

　　Lin Qiye quickly recapped the situation after the call he just made, and Li Clang pushed his toadstools up, thinking for a moment.

　　”You’re saying that after you made the call, you heard some explosions and beast roars, and you also heard Zuo Qing say ‘Vishnu’?”

　　”That’s right.”

　　”So?” Li Clang asked back.

　　Lin Qiye froze, “So ……”

　　”Zuo Qing he’s a human ceiling, naturally he has to take up the duties of a ceiling, isn’t it normal to personally participate in some battles? As for ‘Vishnu’ …… he just said the name, what’s the point of being so nervous?

　　Taking a step back, even if Vishnu really came, this is Da Xia, the Heavenly Father will naturally step in.”

　　In Li Clang’s light tone, Lin Qiye was stunned in place.

　　He shook his head and quickly said, “No …… this matter is definitely not that simple.

　　Commander Zuo is indeed a human ceiling, but he is also the Commander-in-Chief of the Great Summer Nightwatch, if the situation wasn’t critical to the point where he had to make a move, how would he have left the headquarters of the Shangjing to risk his life?

　　The fact that he appeared on the battlefield and Wang Mian was there as well means that something must have changed in Da Xia!”

　　Lin Qiye took a deep breath and spoke solemnly, “Gun, we really can’t continue wasting time here, we need to leave the island!”

　　”Zuo Qing and Wang Mian struck at the same time, why must there be a change in Da Xia? Maybe they are in the mist, or maybe they went to India.” Li Clang continued to deny, “Besides, the signals around here have been interfered with by the national fortune, and were not able to communicate with the outside world in the first place, so if you guys forcefully connected the signals, you might have connected them wrongly.”

　　Lin Qiye frowned and was about to continue his rebuttal when he suddenly realized something and closed his mouth, his expression unprecedentedly grave.

　　”Gun brother …… why don’t you want us to leave?”

　　”I said that you guys can’t leave until the ‘Heart Pass’ training satisfies me.” Li Clang reclined back to the boulder and spoke indifferently.

　　Lin Qiye gazed at him for a long time and spoke word for word:

　　”We, are we under house arrest?”

　　”…… This isn’t house arrest, it’s training.”

　　”No, it’s never as simple as training.” Lin Qiye shook his head decisively, “When Commander Zuo asked us to come, I was a bit strange, although Da Xia’s situation in the mists has gotten a bit better, but it’s not absolutely safe, whether it’s the major war passes or the ordinary squads stationed in Da Xia’s territory are in short supply of manpower, at this kind of juncture, how could it be that a special squad would be so easily transferred to an isolated island for training?

　　For the past half month, our strength has indeed increased, and we have also learned some things …… But more of the time, we are all engaged in some strange entertainment.

　　You yourself, Gun, said that the ‘Heart Pass’ is inherently illusory, in that case, how could a training method exist? And where did the standard for measuring whether or not one is qualified come from?

　　In the end, it’s just an excuse to be able to keep us on the island at any time ……”

　　Lin Qiye stared intently at Li Clang, both fists clenched tightly

　　”But I don’t understand …… what we did wrong?

　　Why are we under house arrest here?”

　　Feeling Lin Qiye’s gaze, Li Clang sighed and slowly sat up from the boulder, and

　　”You guys didn’t do anything wrong …… It’s just that staying on this island is good for you guys, and for Da Xia.”

　　Lin Qiye was silent for a moment, “Then what if, we must leave?”

　　”You guys can try.” Li Clang said indifferently.

　　Lin Qiye’s gaze condensed and he opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something else, then he still turned around and walked towards the outside of the forest.

　　He had just taken a few steps when Li Clang’s voice came from behind him:

　　”Lin Qiye, do you really think that all these things …… I’ve brought you guys to do all this time are just a waste of time?”

　　Lin Qiye’s footsteps lurched.

　　Behind the dark lenses, Li Clang’s gaze was complicated and incomparable.

　　”I also came from being the captain of a special squad, there are some things that I experience more deeply than you.”

　　”I have never lied to you, the opportunity of the ‘Heart Pass’ is something we can t artificially create, but the only point that can be prepared …… in advance is pain.

　　The more beautiful something is, the more intense the pain it produces at the moment it breaks, we can’t predict whether the pain will come or not, but we can artificially accumulate ‘beauty’ in advance, if this preparation can’t be used in the end, then naturally, it’s a happy occasion for all, and if it is used in the end… . then it increases the chances of a breakthrough.”

　　”Why you guys can’t leave this island, I can’t tell you, the only thing I can remind you of is that if you don’t want to rely on extreme pain and sorrow to break through that ‘heart barrier’, and if you’re really looking out for this team …… you should not try to leave this island.”

　　”This may be a cage, but it’s also a cage that can keep your entire squad safe!”

　　Li Clang’s voice thumped out, echoing in Lin Qiye’s ears, and he was stunned in place like a statue for a long time before he took a step and left this dense forest without a word.

　　Only when his figure completely disappeared did several figures slowly outline themselves from nothingness.

　　Wang Qing looked at the direction Lin Qiye had left and let out a long sigh, “Sure enough, they still found out.”

　　”They’re smart, this day will come sooner or later.” Nie Jinshan retracted his gaze, patted Li Clang’s shoulder, and calmly said, “Clang, there’s no need to blame yourself, what you said was very good.”

　　”What should be said, I’ve already said it all.” Li Clang paused, “In the end, what kind of answer will he give …… depends on himself.”
