I kept staring at Daniel's expression as he spoke.
I tried to see some clues on his face, such as the panic he showed because he was caught off guard when I asked him, or the subconscious dodge of his eyes when he was lying.
But none of these emotions appeared on Daniel's face, he was just stating his truest thoughts.
This guy didn't lie, but this situation makes me feel even more embarrassed.
There is actually no difference between my thoughts and his. As he said, anyone with a little analytical ability can see that this is an obvious trap.
But I knew it was a trap, but I had no choice but to jump in with my eyes closed.
In a word, Zhang Qi was arrested because of me. I could either save her or watch her be taken back to Tianxin Island and end up in a state of despair after being tortured.
Yes, my reason tells me that great things happen without hesitation. The burdens and responsibilities on my shoulders are very heavy, and there is no need to risk my life because of a woman I don’t like.
Sensibility is always in my ears, and it tells me that if you really do this, it will be like planting a thorn in your heart, a thorn that will make you restless for the rest of your life.
You can force yourself to ignore it, but once you suddenly think of it one day in the future, this thorn will make you miserable. Even if you lose your true soul, it will not make up for one ten thousandth of the guilt.
This is a knot that is more terrifying than the inner demon, and not everyone can put it behind easily.
Thinking of this, I sighed helplessly: "Hey, if I had known that I would rather die in the formation that day than let Zhang Qi stay and serve as my queen. This feeling of pushing myself into the fire pit with my own hands is too painful."
Already."
"You just pushed yourself into the fire pit, but Zhang Qi's whole body is now in the fire pit."
Daniel suddenly interjected.
Then he gave a self-deprecating smile: "Of course, I am not kidnapping you morally, I just want to express my attitude, that is, no matter what the outcome is, no matter how slim the hope is, even if it costs my life, I will
Try your best to give it a try.
Protecting her is a promise I made back then, and now it's time for me to fulfill my promise."
I thought to myself, isn’t this moral kidnapping?
But there is no point in worrying about this now, and I sighed again: "If it's just Yu Chi and a dozen demon guards, how sure are you, me, and Daniel that we can rescue Zhang Qi?"
Zhuo Yi didn't say anything, he just raised his hand and made a 'nine' gesture.
I was stunned for a moment: "What do you mean? 90% sure?"
"Nine percent of it is a fart, I mean a narrow escape from death."
Zhuo Yi threw the empty cup on the table: "Do you know where Tianxin Island is?"
I shook my head.
Zhuo Yi said: "Los Angeles, Melbourne, Tokyo, and San Diego, you draw two lines for these four cities on the map, and their intersection is the specific location of Tianxin Island."
I followed what Zhuo Yi said and imagined it in my mind, and then I frowned: "Is it really that far away? It already belongs to the center of the Pacific Ocean."
Zhuo Yi sneered twice from his nose and asked me: "Yes, then do you know why they put the mountain gate in a place where birds don't poop?"
I glared at her: "Can you stop showing off?"
"Okay, I won't tell you why."
Zhuo Yi sighed: "The reason is that the restrictions imposed by heaven on humans only apply to the mainland. Regardless of Asia, Europe, North and South America, or even Australia, as long as you dare to use immortal-level abilities, the sky thunder, or divine punishment, will fall immediately.
, even if you lose your soul, it will definitely kill you.
But this thing is ineffective once it reaches the sea, especially in a place farthest from the mainland like Tianxin Island. Let alone using the strength beyond the immortals, it doesn't matter even if you unabashedly release the breath of the extraterrestrial devil, the way of heaven
He doesn't even fart.
Let me ask you, why did the Presbytery allow the four of us to develop our power in the four continents? Because these places are under pressure from heaven, and they dare not take action personally!
But what about the islands in the Pacific far away from the mainland? I can tell you responsibly that on those islands, Tianxin Island has at least hundreds of thousands of overt and covert believers.
The most terrifying thing is that even the power agencies of some island countries are controlled by Tianxin Island. Do you know why? Because without the constraints of heaven, they can do whatever they want without restraint."
Zhuo Yi’s statement is something I have never heard before.
I'm a little confused: "Why does the restraint of heaven become invalid when it reaches the sea?"
"Just two words, earth veins, which can also be said to be spiritual veins."
Zhuo Yi pointed at his feet with his hand: "The reproduction of all living things, the cultivation of Taoism by cultivators, and the operation of the entire laws of heaven all depend on the spiritual veins under our feet, as long as there are spiritual veins
They are all bound by the laws of heaven. You know this common sense without me telling you.
But the sea is different. There are no spiritual veins in the sea. Although there is plenty of spiritual energy, it exists in the sea water and the air. That kind of scattered spiritual energy is not enough to maintain the operation of the laws of heaven.
Otherwise, why do you think those loose immortals have to go overseas to live in seclusion? In the final analysis, isn't it because they will not suffer catastrophes at sea? Otherwise, who would be willing to leave their country and leave their hometown to play on a deserted island in the Pacific Ocean?
Want to survive?"
I admit that Zhuo Yi's statement is reasonable, because I remember listening to the elders in my clan talking about the operation of spiritual veins when I was very young, and I also know that there are indeed no earthly veins in the sea.
But I was still a little puzzled, so I looked at Zhuo Yi and asked: "So what you mean is that Yu Chi can be free from the constraints of heaven and exert all his strength on Sakhalin Island?
But the problem is that Sakhalin Island is not far from the mainland. To put it bluntly, it is also part of the Eurasian continent. Is it so close that the laws of heaven cannot affect it?"
"Well, just give up on this idea."
Zhuo Yi's expression looked a little heavy: "Do you still remember what Veronica said during dinner in the evening? She said that the Orthodox Church has only one cardinal and a dozen clergy in the entire Sakhalin area, and the red cardinal
It is possible that the bishop is only in name, but in fact does not have that strength at all.
Can you imagine what this means? It means that even the Orthodox Church has not been able to extend its influence to the Sakhalin region for more than a hundred years.
Moreover, over the years, I have only been running my own forces in the Far East and have never considered the Sakhalin region. What is the reason? I don’t think I need to say more."
"Understood."
I also sighed: "It means that Sakhalin Island is actually the sphere of influence of Tianxin Island, right?"
Zhuo Yi didn't give me a definite answer.
She just shook her head slightly: "So Gu Yan, I really don't recommend you to take risks, because this kind of behavior is no different from giving away someone's head.
But again, I know that if you make up your mind, no matter what I say, nothing can stop you, so this is just a suggestion. If you insist on going, then I can only accompany you to die.
.”
Her plain words moved me somewhat, and also made Daniel, who had been listening to us talk, completely silent.
The three of them sat on the card table with their heads lowered, each thinking in silence for a long time.
Under the influence of the soundproofing spell, this space fell into a deathly silence, and a suffocating sense of depression also surged up.
I felt like it was hurting my morale to go on like this. I was just trying to find something to talk about to ease the awkward atmosphere, but when I looked up, I suddenly found that the girl who just helped me get rid of the wine tray was walking towards me with a glass of wine.
She walked to a position one meter away from us, glanced at Zhuo Yi and Daniel, and finally smiled at me: "These are your friends? Can I sit down and have a drink with you?"
