Song Yinchen?
Had something happened to her?
"What happened to her?" Shen Ye asked at once.
"Don't worry, Shen Ye. Like you, she's only a minor-and that's precisely the problem," the other man said.
"I don't understand. What exactly is the problem?" Shen Ye pressed.
"At an age when she still can't distinguish right from wrong, she's already awakened a power capable of destroying this world. Many people worry that, in a moment of impulsiveness, she might accidentally unleash that power."
The man speaking sounded very sincere.

A bright moon hung high in the sky amid the gentle breeze.
Beneath the mist, ripples stirred softly, gently licking the shallows.

The special agent spoke.

"But I still have classes-school's about to start."
"Child, do you think the world matters more, or your studies? Don't worry. You'll receive ample benefits. Whatever you want, you can have it immediately."
"This is all for the sake of the world!"
The corners of Shen Ye's mouth lifted slightly. "So keeping the world safe requires deceiving a girl? You people are pathetic."
"I refuse. Goodbye."
