Looking at Li Xia's familiar yet unfamiliar face, Liu Qingfeng opened his mouth, but never remembered him.

"That's right. How could a big shot like you remember a small character like me?" Li Xia sighed softly: "I wouldn't have done it two years ago, and I won't do it now."

Hearing these three words two years ago, Liu Qingfeng suddenly raised his head and frowned.

"Who the hell are you?!"

Looking at Liu Qingfeng who was full of doubts, Li Xia paused and said in a deep voice: "A person who died once."

"And I will die in your hands."

Liu Qingfeng was stunned. Suddenly, he seemed to remember something and trembled suddenly.

"Is it you?"

"That second-level demon-slayer who defends the city?!"

Li Xia sneered and said: "It seems you are not old enough."

"Impossible!" Liu Qingfeng said in surprise: "I already killed you! How could you appear here?!"

"I don't know either." Li Xia said seriously: "I was indeed killed by you, but when I opened my eyes, I went back to the past."

"I still want to ask you about this matter."

"Aren't you the same as me, going back to the past?"

Liu Qingfeng fell into deep thought after hearing this.

After a moment, he murmured: "I originally thought that I was the only one involved in that whirlpool."

"Now it seems that you are the same."

"Whirlpool?" Li Xia frowned and said, "What whirlpool?!"

Liu Qingfeng sighed softly, recalled the experience at that time, and said: "At that time, I was preparing to kill other demon slayers."

"Suddenly I feel a powerful energy sweeping from your direction."

"When I turned around, all I saw was a red swirl."

"It was so fast that I didn't even have time to react."

"In desperation, we can only unfold the spirit ruins to protect ourselves."

"But the weird thing is, the vortex didn't seem to hurt me."

"When I removed the spirit ruins, I discovered that time and space had gone backwards!"

"You mean, the reason why we can go back to the past is because of the vortex?" Li Xia asked.

"So far, that's the case."

"But, why?" Li Xia murmured: "Why did a vortex that can reverse time and space start at that time?"

"Perhaps, that vortex is to save you." Liu Qingfeng said calmly.

"Otherwise, you wouldn't be alive."

Li Xia nodded and said, "In that case, I have to thank you."

"Thank me?"

"That's right!" Li Xia smiled and said: "If you hadn't killed me, it wouldn't have caused a whirlpool, and I wouldn't have let you go back to the world two years ago with me by mistake."

Liu Qingfeng was stunned for a moment, then shook his head helplessly and said, "You are right. If I had not killed you at that time, maybe my plan would have succeeded."

After he finished speaking, he smiled.

The vicissitudes of laughter are mixed with a lot of helplessness and sadness.

"You don't hate me?" Liu Qingfeng suddenly asked: "After all, I killed you once."

"Hate." Li Xia said coldly: "But it's not because you killed me, but because you touched my family."

"Family..." Liu Qingfeng murmured: "The mother and daughter, right?"

Li Xia lowered his eyebrows and said nothing. The scene of that day reappeared in his mind, making him look a little painful.

"You know? I have killed many people, but that little girl left a deep impression on me."

"Why?"

"Because she is really brave."

"She knew she was going to die, but she didn't have the slightest fear."

"I guess she was only eighteen or nineteen years old at that time?"

"Su Ling, she is indeed very brave." As she said that, Li Xia smiled unconsciously.

"I never thought about killing her."

"If it weren't for you, she wouldn't have died."

When Li Xia heard this, his heart trembled suddenly and asked: "What do you mean?!"

Liu Qingfeng breathed a long sigh of relief and said: "The mother and daughter witnessed my assassination of the demon slayer."

"I'm following me because I'm worried about your safety."

"Before I found you, they took the initiative to find me."

"In order to protect you, they are willing to risk their lives."

When Li Xia heard this, he felt as if he had been struck by lightning.

He stared at Liu Qingfeng blankly, his expression dull.

"You don't have to be so surprised." After a pause, Liu Qingfeng continued: "Since you have been reborn, let's protect them."

Listening to Liu Qingfeng's sincere instructions, Li Xia felt a little dazed.

The white-haired old man in front of him was somewhat inconsistent with the image of the devil in his mind.

What kind of person is Liu Qingfeng?

He had obviously fought bloody battles for the human race, but he had turned against the human race in order to achieve his own goals.

He was clearly an enemy, but he showed mercy to him again and again.

He was obviously a cruel murderer, but he asked himself to treat his family well.

These conflicts forced Li Xia to re-examine the contradictory man in front of him.

Putting aside the messy thoughts, Li Xia asked: "What is your purpose in doing all this?"

Liu Qingfeng fell into silence.

Li Xia could clearly feel that his breath was getting weaker and weaker.

"Same as you." After a long silence, Liu Qingfeng said weakly: "For the truth."

"the truth?"

Liu Qingfeng nodded lightly, "Yes, the truth about the Demon Slayer Tower and the truth about this world."

"Demon Slayer Tower?!" Li Xia frowned and said.

Liu Qingfeng slowly turned his head to look at Li Xia, his eyes had become moist without knowing when.

"Did you know?"

"I used to have a family just like you."

"But they died in a conspiracy."

"I have been secretly investigating for many years before I found some clues."

As he spoke, Liu Qingfeng paused, took a deep breath, and stabilized his trembling voice.

"The initiator of this conspiracy is the Demon Slayer Tower."

"In the 20th year of the lunar calendar, the top management of the Demon Slayer Tower approved a secret experiment at a meeting."

"The location of the experiment is in Linghai City."

"What experiment?" Li Xia asked.

Liu Qingfeng shook his head and said, "I don't know exactly what it is."

"Although I also participated in this experiment back then, the confidentiality measures of the experiment were very good."

"Everyone is responsible for a separate task."

"My mission is to capture the monster."

"As for what others did, I don't know."

"Capture monsters?" Li Xia murmured, "Catch them alive?"

Liu Qingfeng nodded lightly.

"But why?"
