Night, east of Bai Chuan Village.

Suddenly, a Gassho-style Houses thatched hut is engulfed in flames...

All the Gassho-style Houses thatched huts in Bai Chuan Village are built with real thatch and timber, and are all World Heritage sites.

Every thirty or forty years, the thatched roofs of the Gassho-style Houses need to be replaced, and the whole village gathers together to help each family replace their thatch.

At this moment, the Gassho-style Houses, carrying the dreams and heritage of the entire Bai Chuan Village, are rapidly burning, and the snow on the roof is melting into water.

The firelight illuminates the entire Bai Chuan Village.

Outside the thatched huts, members of the Shadow Agency are dragging two adults towards vehicles outside.

The two people being dragged are struggling desperately, but no matter how hard they try, they cannot break free from the Shadow Agency members.

Their relatives rush out to help, but they are all knocked down one by one.

"Let go of my father!" A young man rushes out with a large wooden mallet used for pounding rice cakes, but the incredibly heavy mallet falls, only to be caught with one hand by a Shadow Agency member, unmoved.

The Shadow Agency member casually throws the mallet and the young man away.

These Shadow Agency members, who have been injected with Gene Medicine, are like adults facing children when confronted with ordinary people.

A Shadow Agency member coldly says to the young man lying on the ground: "These three are on our roster to be taken away. We are giving them a better future. Are you trying to make an enemy of the entire Shadow Agency? I advise you not to try again, otherwise all the Gassho-style Houses in Bai Chuan Village will become history."

Including Shinguji Maki, these three are people who have been confirmed to have the qualifications to cross over after the Shadow Agency cross-referenced the "Inner World" household registration information.

The Shadow Agency has brought four vehicles and seven people in total.

For a small place like Bai Chuan Village, seven people are enough.

At this moment, Shinguji Maki is sitting in the back seat of the vehicle with red, swollen eyes, desperately suppressing her cries.

She doesn't know why these people are arresting her, nor does she know where she's being taken.

The eight-year-old girl only knows that her grandmother has fallen to the ground trying to stop them from taking her away, but she doesn't know that her grandmother has already died.

She only knows that these people are vicious and powerful, like the superhuman beings of legend, and it's unlikely that anyone can stand against them.

Besides her, the other two people arrested are the uncle from Bai Chuan Village's puppet theater and the sister from Bai Chuan Village's craft shop.

Every year during the autumn festival, the uncle operates puppets performing lion dances, which are the favorite shows of the children and tourists.

Before her father had an accident, he would take Maki to watch the puppet show every autumn, and the uncle who was arrested with her would invite her to stand in the front row.

The sister from the craft shop would pick out a simple little gift for her.

At that time, Bai Chuan Village was truly like a paradise, carefree.

At this moment, the uncle and sister are lifted into another car by the Shadow Agency people, as light as nothing.

This scene shocks Maki and fills her with despair.

At first, the little girl hoped that Older Brother would suddenly transform into a hero and save her.

But now she only hopes that Qing Chen does not return to Bai Chuan Village, does not see this scene.

Because these people are too powerful, they are not something ordinary people can deal with.

Actually, the little girl isn't sure if Older Brother will really come to save her after knowing she's in danger.

Probably not?

After all, these people are so powerful.

After all, Older Brother hasn't known her for very long.

They aren't very familiar, who would offend the Shadow Agency for a stranger they're not very familiar with?

Thinking of this, Shinguji Maki doesn't feel sad, but instead feels relieved.

Even though she is the one in danger, her first reaction is to hope that her gentle and kind older brother won't get into trouble because of her.

The members of the Shadow Agency get into their cars and leave Bai Chuan Village by the same route.

The little girl's tears flow uncontrollably. She looks at her home getting farther and farther away, thinking how it's such a pity that she could have spent more time with her Older Brother.

She has asked the aunt from the neighboring hot spring hotel to teach her how to cook, and she wants to cook a decent meal for her brother within a month.

And... she doesn't know how her grandmother is doing and if she can recover.

A Shadow Agency member looks at the little girl and jokingly teases: "This little girl is pretty. When we get back, I'll ask the captain to give her to me. She can be my pet."

"You'll have to earn merit first, otherwise I might get this pet before you."

These people speak crudely and viciously, not treating Shinguji Maki as a living, independent person.

The vehicles drive for a while in the mountains, when suddenly there's a loud bang, and a rock falls from above, hitting the hood of the first off-road vehicle.

The rock is extremely large and heavy, so much so that after hitting the engine, it causes the rear of the off-road vehicle to rise and roll to the right.

All the airbags in the off-road vehicle open, but the car cannot stop rolling and breaks through the guardrail, falling to the bottom of the mountain.

The mountain ditch on Bai Chuan Village's side isn't very deep, at most ten or so meters. If the Shadow Agency members are lucky, they won't die.

On the car radio, someone says: "Two people go to the bottom of the mountain to check the situation. I suspect it's intentional."

"A rock that big, at least a B-level person could lift it. I think it's a coincidence, a rockslide."

"It's always better to be careful."

The convoy stops, and someone gets out of the car and gropes their way down the mountain.

At this time, there is a knocking sound on the window of the vehicle Shinguji Maki is in.

The Shadow Agency members and Shinguji Maki in the car all slowly look out the window. A young man bends down outside, looking inside through the window.

Shinguji Maki is stunned.

It's like someone about to fall into an abyss suddenly looks up and sees a ray of light shining through a crack in the abyss, extending a hand.

She feels the world warm up again.

However, the little girl stares at her older brother silently, tearfully and anxiously shaking her head.

She doesn't want him to fall into the abyss with her.

However, Qing Chen suddenly smiles and points at her eyes, pinching his fingers together to signal her to close her eyes.

The next moment, Shinguji Maki obediently closes her eyes. She doesn't know what Qing Chen wants to do, but she subconsciously follows his instructions.

"Hey, who are you? You..." A Shadow Agency member gets out of the car, but before he can draw his weapon, Qing Chen chops him on the neck with a hand knife.

However, ordinary people use a hand knife to the neck to hit the carotid artery to cause fainting.

Qing Chen's hand knife directly breaks the other person's neck bone.

The Shadow Agency members are shocked. Where did this expert come from?!

Wait, isn't this the person who threw down the rocks just now?!

The Shadow Agency members are uncertain.

How could such a person appear in this remote countryside?

You must know that Bai Chuan Village is just a remote village, and the Shadow Agency members who come here are not powerful.

Now that Qing Chen's Cultivation and Awakening power systems are both C-level, this means that his power has already broken through the critical point of the C-level peak.

In the eyes of the Shadow Agency, the villagers of Bai Chuan Village are ordinary people, ants, and weeds.

But in Qing Chen's eyes, are these Shadow Agency members not the same?

Shinguji Maki doesn't know that Older Brother, who took her back on his mountain bike, has already made the entire Osaka Shadow Agency live in tension and fear.

"Baka!" In another vehicle, a Shadow Agency member curses and gets out of the car, quickly pulling the trigger.

But he is stunned to find that his speed of turning the gun is not as fast as Qing Chen's dodging speed.

Only at this moment do the Shadow Agency members realize that they have met a monster!

Someone tries to use the "Bai Chuan Village hostage' to threaten Qing Chen not to approach, but Qing Chen already has a gun!

At such a close distance, his shooting skills are like the will of God.

Shinguji Maki obediently closes her eyes.

In the little girl's world, she can only hear the curses, gunshots, and then the cries of the Shadow Agency members.

Finally, there is silence.

The Shadow Agency members at the bottom of the mountain finally manage to carry their companion back up, but before they can react, they are shot dead.

The little girl sits in the car trembling, not knowing how long has passed, a warm hand covers her eyes, and then hugs her, gently carrying her out of the off-road vehicle.

"It's alright."

She hears someone softly saying in her ear.

Shinguji Maki knows that her Older Brother is worried that she will see some cruel scenes.

His gentleness and kindness are heartfelt.

But the problem is, those so-called Shadow Agency guys are so powerful, did Older Brother really take care of them all? fгeewёbnoѵel_cσm

Shinguji Maki listens carefully, she can no longer hear the voices of the Shadow Agency members, it seems that they are all dead.

So... Older Brother is really special.

Thinking of this, the little girl quietly leans her head against Qing Chen's shoulder, letting tears flow down the warm spaces between his fingers.

"Older Brother, have you seen Grandma?" Shinguji Maki asks softly.

Qing Chen pauses: "Grandma is gone."

He doesn't lie, because a person must understand how cold this world is before they understand how important the warmth in their heart is.

Qing Chen tells the other two people in Bai Chuan Village: "You two push the car down the mountain, and then find your relatives to hide. Believe me, if the Shadow Agency finds you, the outcome will be worse than you imagine."

He doesn't stay.

Qing Chen knows that pushing the car down the mountain is only to delay the Shadow Agency's response time.

Tonight, when they find that their companions have not returned to Osaka City Hall, they will quickly investigate the situation.

Maybe tomorrow morning, the Shadow Agency will arrive in Bai Chuan Village to review what happened last night.

They will learn that the arrest operation was successful. If they don't see the three Time Traveler candidates at the scene of the car accident, they will immediately seal off Bai Chuan Village and investigate the clues.

There is not much time left for Qing Chen. He must take Shinguji Maki into the mountains under the cover of night until he completes his Trials of Life and Death before returning to Bai Chuan Village.

Qing Chen says softly: "After we bury Grandma, I'm going to take you to Ao Sui High Peak. You have to stay with me there for a few days. Although the conditions are a bit harsh, everything will be alright."

The little girl cries for a long time, her grandmother is truly gone.

Qing Chen doesn't comfort her or urge her to stop crying, this is something the little girl will eventually experience.

After a long time, Shinguji Maki looks up with red eyes: "Older Brother, did I implicate you?"

Qing Chen nods: "Yes, you did."

The little girl looks down in guilt.

The next second, Qing Chen softly says: "But it's okay."

After saying this, he puts the little girl down and leads her cold little hand towards Bai Chuan Village.

The people from the Shadow Agency will soon come to die.
