"Haha." Su Hao smiled coldly.
That lean man trembled, hearing this.
As his memory returned, he remembered the scene of Su Hao beating the hell out of him. Knowing that he couldn't defeat him, he decisively shut his mouth.
"Has there never been such a situation before?" Su Hao asked coldly.
"No." That lean man shook his head, "Really, I have never seen this before! You know, that thing came from there. Nothing can be hidden from her! For that thing to not kill you, there can only be two possibilities. First, you are able to hide your existence with special means."
"However, that's very unlikely."
"En." Su Hao nodded.
He didn't have any means to do so. Moreover, to conceal oneself from a peak world esper, one needs to have equivalent strength!
"There is another possibility." That lean man thought for a moment and thought that this was even more impossible. With uncertainty, he said, "Within the target list they set up, there is no you!"
"Huh? What do you mean?" Su Hao frowned.
"Er, how should I explain this?" That lean man pondered for a second, "Imagine Zhanzheng College has 10, 000 people, and 10 men got punished by the principal. However, if you're not among those 10, 000 people? No matter what you do, Zhanzheng College would be unable to control you. Whether you break the rules or not, they would never know."
"But this is even more impossible." That lean man shrugged his shoulder, "As long as you're a person in this world, you can't escape from their watch."
"Hold on, what did you say just now?" Su Hao suddenly trembled.
"This is even more impossible." That lean man looked at Su Hao's shocking expression and was stunned. Su Hao shook his head, "Not this, the one after that."
"As long as you're a person of this world..."
"That's it!" Su Hao's eyes lit up. He finally understood everything!
The world imprint!
It's that thing again!
He didn't have the world imprint. Even a normal breakthrough into the world realm isn't possible, but he avoided the pursuit of that thing because of this! Explaining to that lean man, that lean man finally realized that was the reason behind this. No wonder, after knowing everything, he still remained fine!
"In this world, such a thi... such a human." That lean man then sighed after recovering from the shock. However, noticing Su Hao's glaring eyes, he immediately swallowed the 'species' which he was about to blurt out.
He didn't wish to be beaten again.
"So, that's the truth behind this." Su Hao now understood. However, he still had a little confusion, "The 'there' you mentioned, where is that exactly?"
That lean man knew what he was asking, but he couldn't say. In the end, he could only do a bell-ringing action, 'dong' for Su Hao to comprehend it.
The top of the world!
Su Zhengwen once told him this before.
There is a mountain somewhere, a temple at the top of the mountain with a bell inside...
In other words, that thing came from the top of the world! That was the most mysterious place in the world. No one knows where it is. At least, before one qualifies as the strongest esper! That place, it's actually trying to contain the mystery of this world?
Su Hao felt that the mystery was getting deeper.
However, to be able to attract that thing's attention, it indicated that he's getting closer to the truth! The truth... What exactly is the truth?
Su Hao looked at the lean man subconsciously.
"Don't look at me." That lean man waved his hand, "I only knew the surface of this matter. Even if I unseal my memory at the risk of being killed, there won't be much substance. Besides, even if you know now, it's useless. Why not wait until you have the strength to go to that place first, before learning about this?"
"True." Su Hao regretfully abandoned the thought of interrogating him.
That lean man wiped away his cold sweat.
This is such an unlucky day!
Such a situation wasn't a first for him!
Previously, when he wiped off his memory, what he was afraid of the most was meeting these powerful people who are not afraid of death. Last time, he encountered a powerful guy who made him furious. He couldn't resist at all and was forcefully interrogated, which was his closest ever to death! But then having said that...
Why did Su Hao look like that guy?
That lean man quivered, looking at Su Hao carefully, but the more he looked, the more he felt they are so alike.
That perverted bastard in the past...
That lean man's eyes widened. The figure in his memory reappeared, and slowly overlapped with Su Hao's figure. He finally remembered who that past man was!
That man was Su Tiancheng!
If so...
"Is the mysterious card in your hand?" That lean man asked abruptly.
Su Hao was startled hearing this. He looked at that lean man abruptly, "Who are you?"
Su Hao's killing intent erupted from his body, sweeping across the surrounding. The long lost Shadowless God Needle was now on standby. The mysterious card was his biggest secret, yet this lean man knew about it. Is he really just someone who is able to control memory?
"Hold on, hold on!" That lean man was startled by the sudden chill.
He had been beaten terribly just now. The current Su Hao didn't even have to take action. However, that chill killing intent was akin to a knife pointing at him.
"We're on the same side!" That lean man shouted.
Su Hao narrowed his eyes. Noticing that facial expression that didn't seem to be fake, he slowly retracted his killing intent, "I hope you can give an answer that pleases me."
"Damn it, why do you father and son pair have such bad temper?" That lean man bitterly smiled.
Su Hao's eyelid twitched, "You knew my dad?"
"Of course, I know him." That lean man snorted, "The so-called ruthless man who is anti-human or whatever. He's just a frivolous and sloppy old hooligan."
Su Hao's blue veins on his forehead twitched, "Although you are telling the truth, as a filial son, should I beat you up first?"
"Er, let's talk about his matter." That lean man quickly changed the subject, "In the past, I found Su Tiancheng and wished to alter his memory, but the result... you should be able to guess it. I am clueless regarding how strong the Su Tiancheng at that time was. After knowing of my situation, he actually checked my memory without me knowing."
"That feeling..." That lean man shivered.
"Then?" Su Hao asked in a hurry.
The inexplicable disappearance of his father, could it be related to this matter? Thinking of that girl just now, could it be that girl brought his dad away? If that was the case...
Su Hao didn't dare to imagine it.
"Next? That thing came." The lean man replied, "It's not like today, which ended with a total massacre. What started between your father and that thing was a fight of the world realm. You wanna know the most unbelievable thing that I witnessed? In the end, your father actually won the fight!"
"He won?" Su Hao's eyes opened wide.
Although he had such hope, he still didn't dare to imagine it. That's a peak world esper! A law enforcer from the top of the world!
His dad is indeed worthy of this reputation!
There was endless pride within Su Hao's heart. However, he knew that this matter wasn't over yet, "What happened next?"
"Then, more such things arrived..." That lean man spread his hands, "Your father got captured and got taken away. I thought that it was over for your father. However, after some time, it should be around a month or so. One day, when I went out for a mission, I saw him again!"
"He managed to escape!" That lean man sounded very shocked.
Su Hao's blood boiled, hearing this.
That's not any place, but the top of the world! The most powerful place in this world! But then, so what? His dad managed to overwhelm the enforcer, and even if he got captured, he still could escape!
What kind of domineering action is this!
"That day, I was lucky to witness such a scene."
That lean man continued, "He escaped. Not only did he escape, but he also took something mysterious from that place."
Su Hao was shocked, "Could it be..."
"Yes, that mysterious card!" The lean man reaffirmed, "Three mysterious cards flashing with endless brilliance! These were what he brought out from that place. However, that place sent more of that thing over, and your father was arrested again. As for what happened later, I don't know either."
"That place?" Su Hao muttered to himself.
The top of the world!
His dad actually got caught by that thing! Why must he be taken away? Could it be he can't be killed? Is he alive now or not? What exactly is that thing? What are those mysterious cards? There are actually a total of three cards? Where is the third one then?
Su Hao's heart was full of doubts.
"However, I thought that the mysterious cards were also taken away." That lean man looked at Su Hao in amazement, "I just asked subconsciously just now. Based on your reaction, those should be in your hands. Su Tiancheng is too strong. Although I don't know what happened, to be able to hide those things and deliver them to you during the time of his escape, that's simply unbelievable."
Could the mysterious cards be related to his father's life and death situation?
Su Hao closed his eyes and fell into deep thought.
The mysterious cards, he had two. The first one was obtained via accident, while Tian Xing Martial Army delivered the second one. He couldn't find Tian Xing Martial Army, nor did he know where it was. However, the first "accident" seemed to be a play. He had long suspected that someone had secretly manipulated it. Now it seemed that...
Ding~
Su Hao opened the virtual screen.
The powerful six stars hacking skill of his swept across the internet world as he collected news about his dad. However, the result was very little. Obviously, when his dad disappeared, those pieces of information had been blocked and cleaned up. However, if those pieces of information were cleared, won't he be able to find them?
"Have you heard of the matters regarding my father?" Su Hao looked at that lean man.
"In what aspect?"
"Anything related to the so-called anti-humanity or related to Tian Xing Martial Army?"
"Oh, I have heard of them before."
That lean man, "When the rumors spread, two horrifying characters became popular all over the world. One was the witch Su Wan, and the other one... I think that one seemed to be low-key and always hid behind the scene. What's the name again... Ah, right!"
"Magistrate Chen Ge!"
