When the doorbell rang, Chi Li, who was sitting on the sofa in the lobby on the first floor, was still a little surprised.

Here, there are very few people outside Si Jinyan and his side, let alone the sudden and infrequent ringing of the doorbell.

In Chi Li's surprise, the housekeeper opened the door.

Bai Qi is wearing pure white casual clothes, and the sun shines on his light blue hair, making him calm and quiet, and adding a bit of mystery that does not belong here.

The housekeeper was about to inform Si Jinyan when the door of the study room was opened. Chi Li heard the sound and looked towards Si Jinyan on the second floor.

He did not see a surprised look on Si Jinyan's face. Apparently Si Jinyan had already expected Bai Qi's visit.

Chi Li stood up and greeted Bai Qi: "Mr. Bai, long time no see."

His identity may have been known to Bai Qi. At that time, they belonged to opposing camps, and they met again on Si Jinyan's territory.

Bai Qi was accompanied by a attendant, "I want to talk to you." Bai Qi said straight to the point.

Chi Li was stunned.

Bai Qi continued, "The main reason I came here this time is to meet you."

At this time, Si Jinyan had come down from the second floor and walked to them.

Chi Li looked at Si Jinyan with confusion and questioning in his eyes. Si Jinyan nodded, confirming the intention of Bai Qi's trip. Chi Li's eyes were even more confused.

Chi Li: "What do you want from me?"

There was an inexplicable and strange atmosphere all around, Chi Li frowned slightly.

Bai Qi glanced at Si Jinyan, Si Jinyan: "Let's go to the second floor to chat."

However, what makes Chi Li even more strange is that after Si Jinyan sent them to the room, he closed the door and left. This was not like Si Jinyan's style. Bai Qi's attendants were also outside the door, and only Chi Li and Bai Qi were left in the room.

Chi Li The weird feeling in my heart only increased.

Bai Qi helped him, and even in terms of the situation at that time, Bai Qi saved Chi Li, but the unknown fog shrouding Bai Qi always made it difficult for him to see through it, so Chi Li had to be on guard.

Now, the arrival of Bai Qi has added to this layer of confusion.

Bai Qi smiled, eased the tense atmosphere, and said softly, "I had a hunch before that we would meet again, so I contacted Si Jinyan."

Chi Li noticed the clues in the words: "Do you know that I am with him?"

Bai Qi: "My guess."

Chi Li's brows suddenly jumped. "Why?" Not many people would know that he was taken away by Si Jinyan.

"This is just my guess." Bai Qi repeated, "Actually, I also want to see him, but mainly to see you."

Chi Li Silence.

Bai Qi paused. In the brief silence, he seemed to be thinking about how to explain to Chi Li, "I told you before that I can sometimes sense some things."

Chi Li has a profound memory. When Bai Qi found him in danger, he explained that it was through some kind of induction between their clansmen.

The second time, when Chi Li's identity was discovered, the emperor sent people to Si Jinyan's mansion to arrest him. Chi Li's attendant suddenly appeared and took him away. At that time, Chi Li heard the word "prediction" from the mouth of Bai Qi's attendant, although the attendant finally stopped.

This is the third time Chi Li heard Bai Qi talk about this ability. Hearing the words, his heart tightened and a slight uneasiness filled his chest.

Chi Li nodded and waited for Bai Qi to continue.

"When you hear this, you may feel it is unrealistic."

Bai Qi paused and suddenly explained, "The reason why I am still here is because the current emperor needs me."

Bai Qi: "I play more like a 'shaman' role, doing divination for the future of the empire."

Chi Li was stunned. He had thought about the reason why Bai Qi still stayed in the empire before, but obviously he didn't expect it to be this reason.

If what Bai Qi said is true, it is unimaginable that his ability is so powerful that even Yao Di believes it.

"You don't have to believe what I say next." Bai Qi's eyes seemed to be looking through nothingness to another place, showing a hollow look.

Chi Li looked at Bai Qi's expression, frowning slightly, and an inexplicable feeling of horror and discomfort crawled up his back.

Like some kind of psychic in mythology, Bai Qi's voice was soft and pale. "War, scaly monsters, collapse, new gods..."

Chi Li was heartbroken when he heard the word "scaly monster".

Bai Qi also said some more, until the feeling of terror disappeared, Chi Li asked, "Is this... the future you see?"

Bai Qi said, "The future, the scene of the future, may not be exactly the same, but it will definitely overturn the peace of the present."

Chi Li can't completely believe what Bai Qi says, but he can't completely ignore it either.

So, Chi Li asked again, "Then what does this have to do with me?"

Bai Qi did not answer directly, but instead said, "There is a gap in your memory, and your past is a blur."

Chi Li My heart suddenly tightened again, and a sense of being derailed by insight and being unable to control shrouded my heart.

However, Bai Qi was not wrong. His past was indeed shrouded in a forgotten fog. At the same time, vigilance arose in Chi Li's heart.

Bai Qi: "The incident you forgot has been covered up."

Chi Li tensed and frowned. "What do you mean?"

Bai Qi: "The literal meaning is not that you forgot it, but that it was covered."

Chi Li's heart was beating fast, and he intuitively felt that there was some kind of trap waiting for him, but he still couldn't help but ask, "Why? By whom and for what reason is it covered?"

Bai Qi shook his head. "I can't answer, and I don't know the reason. What I see is that everyone's past is a mess of color blocks, with colors representing different meanings, but..."

Chi Li Clearly: "Mine is hidden."

Bai Qi nodded.

"Is this one of your abilities?" This ability makes Chi Li feel dangerous.

However, maybe Chi Li had already been prepared for Bai Qi's ability, or maybe it was because he had been with Si Jinyan for a long time and had experienced a lot of strange things. When Bai Qi said this, it only made Chi Li slightly shocked. It was more of an afterthought and a tense feeling.

Bai Qi said calmly, "You can't use it casually, there will be some price."

Chi Li didn't ask what the price was, but he knew that Bai Qi once tried to gain insight into his past, and then discovered the fact that his past was "obstructed".

Bai Qi said, "I can help you lift this layer of fog."

Until now, Chi Li still doesn't fully believe Bai Qi, "Why did you help me?"

Bai Qi shook his head, "Just like the first time I met you, I felt I needed to do this to guide me here."

Chi Li frowned slightly.

Bai Qi seemed to know what he was thinking, "But, you can choose whether to recall this memory."

Chi Li was indeed affected by Bai Qi's words, why is it a "covered memory"--

What happened in his past, why his memories from birth to the first eight years disappeared, what happened to his parents, why all his memories started with the mercenary group and his uncle after waking up...

After a while, Chi Li did not give an answer, but he did not refuse either. Instead, he replied, "I need time to think about it."

The expression on Bai Qi's face remained calm, as if he expected Chi Li to answer like this, he nodded in agreement.

After Bai Qi left, Si Jinyan asked, "What did you say?"

Chi Li didn't understand whether Si Jinyan really didn't know or was just pretending not to know. He just had a slight intuition and didn't tell Si Jinyan anything about what happened just now.

Chi Li saw that Si Jinyan had returned to a fish-tailed appearance, and his bipolar pheromones were more severe than usual, so he asked Si Jinyan: "Is the loss of control more serious?"

Si Jinyan nodded. "Well, the effectiveness of alternative inhibitors is getting weaker and weaker."

Chi Li knows about this, but after taking care of the physical matters, he will leave here completely and asked, "What are you going to do next?"

He knows the final outcome of Si Jinyan losing control.

Chi Li also suddenly thought that he might be the only one who can help Si Jinyan.

Thinking of this, Chi Li's thoughts suddenly stopped like a kite with its string cut off.

Si Jinyan didn't know what Chi Li was thinking, so he replied casually, "There will be a way, but so what if there is no way. I have been like this for decades."

Si Jinyan didn't take this matter seriously at first. It was Research Institute who had been planning to find an "omega" for him.

The atmosphere suddenly darkened, because their thoughts suddenly reached the same intersection.

Si Jinyan looked at Chi Li as if aware of something. He saw Chi Li lowering his head, confusion flashed across his face for a moment, and the emotions in his eyes were covered by slender eyelashes.

When I suddenly thought about this, Chi Li felt as if my chest was gently tugged by an invisible force. It is difficult to describe my mood at this moment.

Si Jinyan will eventually become an irrational creature like Aberrant Form.

When Chi Li expected such an ending, he did not get some kind of luck or the pleasure of revenge, but instead felt a suffocation in his chest.

The fish tail swayed slightly in the air, and Si Jinyan noticed Chi Li's emotions. The weak bitter emotions flowed through Si Jinyan's chest, making Si Jinyan's breath suffocate.

Perhaps sensing something was wrong with him, Chi Li quickly covered up his emotions and even walked out of the room on purpose, leaving Si Jinyan alone with Si Jinyan looking at his back.
