Flower's Anatomy No. 64: The Counterattack of the Residual Image (3) Tian Tian Shu Bar

  Modern detectives use tracking dogs, ancient ones used butterflies?

  It's almost December now, it should be snowing heavily, shouldn't there be any living butterflies?

  "This is the method I use to track, it's the result of many years of research. This butterfly is special, very sensitive to the smell of a synthetic drug. So if there's someone I want to track, as long as I leave a bit of this scent on them, the butterfly can help me find them. Although, not too far away."

  "Did you put medicine on me?"

  "Right."

  "You..."

  I'm speechless. This guy is usually at my beck and call, although he doesn't always talk nicely, but he's also reliable and harmless. Who would have thought that this guy would secretly make moves on me?

  Forget it, considering he saved my life today, I won't bother with him anymore.

  "When you all went to the White Horse Temple today, I also went. Later, Su Li said some case things, and I was listening on the side, but later found that you were gone. I know, you are not the kind of person who will run around casually, so I immediately released the tracking butterfly and followed up."

  It's clear that he knows. But where is he hiding?

  Later, I found out it was Ruo Yujuan who caught you, and also saw Ren Pingsheng.

  A surge of indignation rose up in my heart: "Then why didn't you come out and save me? I almost died!"

  As soon as I said it, I regretted it. Ye didn't have the responsibility to save me at all, even if I died, it had nothing to do with him, let alone that he just got hurt trying to save me.

  But I don't know why, my emotions, my depression, my bad temper, always unconsciously want to throw them at him. He would mock me, tease me, but everything I threw at him, he somehow always accepted with a smile, and I just realized this today.

  He is the only person in this world that I can treat so freely, the only one who has completely let down his guard, a unique and irreplaceable individual. In an instant, I suddenly felt that I was actually very fortunate to have met such a weirdo like him.

  "You need saving? Don't be ridiculous! I think you look quite fierce, no one needs to save you at all."

  "Actually, you were trying to find this blind spot, weren't you!" I suddenly came to my senses and a wave of resentment surged up in my heart. It turned out that I had become a big bait!

  "I'm not a prophet, how would I know who took you away? However, what you said is also right. After seeing Ren Ping Sheng, I thought, why not follow him and see where the dark spot of Tian Jing Men is. So, I followed."

  The smile was suppressed, and his expression seemed to become serious.

  "Ren Pingsheng is not just one person, there are several experts hiding around him, they just haven't shown up yet. Moreover, unless it's absolutely necessary, I don't want people from the Tianjing Gate to see my appearance. Because, I'm originally a dark shadow, and the less contact with the Tianjing Gate, the better."

  So he followed me quietly like this until I was really in danger of losing my life before showing up.

  But how did he know everything here so well!

  "I know what you want to ask," Ye said gently, looking at me. "The answer isn't that simple, is it? You should be able to guess right away. I'm also from the Tianjing Gate, aren't I?"

  My body shook slightly. No wonder, I had already guessed it from his intimate relationship with Nie Qiuyuan, from his mastery of exquisite detective skills, from his clear mind, and from his deep understanding of the Tianjing Gate. It was just that when these words came out of his mouth, my heart still felt a little sad.

  In my mind, the Tianjing Gate is a cruel and brutal organization, also a sad place. Before I came here, I had handled hundreds or thousands of cases, to sum it up, I feel that if someone has ever experienced even a little warmth in life, their heart will not be absolutely ruthless. So, those ruthless people are ultimately sad people.

  His personality is quite different from Ye's, he isn't as silent and heavy-hearted. Although he seems to be just a shadow, he appears brighter than Ye, more understanding of people, and easier to get along with. It turns out that this kind of him also struggled out of that sorrowful tear-filled place.

  "My existence is a secret, even Ren Ping doesn't know about it," said the Master of the Night. "I am Autumn's best weapon, so I hope today's luck is good and I won't have to expose myself in front of them."

  "You two risked your lives to rebel, what was it all for?" I couldn't help but ask.

  The Young Master of the Night was silent for a moment, then said: "No need to say more. Sixteen years ago, Nie Qiu's entire family was exterminated, leaving only him as the sole survivor. Later, he was taken in by the Tianjing Sect and raised to adulthood. However, several years ago, he discovered that his family's tragic case seemed to have a huge connection with the Tianjing Sect."

  Although there were only a few words, they contained too much information, and I was shocked with wide eyes.

  "It's just that simple. But for many years, no clues have been found. Zhen Zhen, Nie Qiu Yuan's back is a huge whirlpool, otherwise, the Tian Jing Gate would not be determined to kill him. So, don't get any closer."

  Those words like vortex, danger, proximity, complexity, I didn't hear clearly, only two words left in my mind: "extermination".

  Sixteen years ago, Nie Qiuyuan should have been only five years old!

  I recall a case of a family massacre that I participated in the investigation, where five members of a family were shot dead at home, leaving only a five-year-old child. In such cases, I was taken to the scene as an intern, and my task was to comfort the child. Although the child was only five years old, the trauma in his eyes has left an indelible mark on me for life.

  In an instant, the child's shadow overlapped with Autumn's shadow, leaving a sharp pain in my heart. Suddenly, I realized that after reading so much material about him, I only knew his future but not his past. The official records in historical documents are accurate at best, let alone recording these unknown pains and emotions.

  "What's wrong?" asked the Young Master of the Night, his voice full of surprise. He stretched out a finger and gently wiped away the tears at the corners of my eyes. I hadn't even realized it, but apparently I had been crying uncontrollably.

  He suddenly seemed to understand why I was crying, his eyes softened and he paused for a moment before saying: "It's all in the past, no use thinking about it. Anyway, we still have to wait, let me tell you something interesting."

  He began to tell me how the Tiānjìng Gate cultivates top detectives, telling about the Tiānjìng Gate's detective techniques and some training methods that sounded inhumane.

  "So that's how you train your five senses!" I almost jumped up in fright when I heard the terrifying part. My thoughts were immediately drawn to what he was saying, and I even forgot about my sad affairs.

  The Young Master of the Night smiled lightly: "Exactly, that period of time, alas, was simply worse than death!"

  As they spoke, the wall emitted a faint creaking sound, and the digital holographic image reappeared on the wall. Ye stood up, dusting off his clothes, saying: "It's time, let's go."
