Ji Gaochuan raised his hands to block the dazzling light, but his arms felt as if they were filled with lead and were difficult to control. Then the soreness overwhelmed every muscle in his body. This feeling reminded him of the time when he was young and had to socialize.

period of time.

Chaotic memories surfaced with difficulty, plans, Vulcan, Marn, Han family, and the Salvation Alliance...

As the surrounding environment gradually became clearer, the dizziness and fatigue gradually faded away, and he slowly saw clearly the room he was in. This was the medical room of the Investigation Department, and he seemed to be lying on a hospital bed.

He struggled to push himself up with his hands and leaned on the pillow.

'What happened?'

Before he could start to think about why he was carried into the ward, the door was pushed open, and a strange middle-aged man walked in. He looked Ji Gaochuan up and down, and then said into the microphone on his collar:

"He's awake and seems to be slowly regaining consciousness. The investigation department's protector protocol is still running normally, right?

"Well, that's no problem. Come over here now. I'll have a few words with him first."

Ji Gaochuan endured the pain and asked:

"Who are you?"

The man reached for a chair and placed it next to the hospital bed and sat down:

"Do you remember anything?"

Ji Gaochuan said warily:

"Answer my question first, I don't remember seeing you..."

There is no emotion on the man’s face:

"It seems that you are not completely clear yet. I am a reinforcement sent by the headquarters. You can call me by my code name 'Expert'. We have a small team here, but we are in a parallel cooperation relationship.

"Now I want to ask, do you remember anything?"

Ji Gaochuan also slowly recovered and realized that his vigilance just now was completely unnecessary, because it was normal for reinforcements to arrive at this time, and they should even have arrived earlier.

"I only remember the sea water..." He murmured in a low voice, "By the way, who attacked us, where are Ren Qingxue and the others?"

The expert looked regretful:

"They have all been killed. In addition, we have also investigated the local forces in the past few days since we came here. The twelve main family members of the Son of the Ocean who were originally in Gowen State have all disappeared, and we are indoors

Signs of evaporation of sea water were detected.

"Due to the darkness of the night, our investigation encountered a lot of obstacles. We can only speculate that they should have performed some kind of ritual that required sacrifice of life. Do you think this is related to the sea water you mentioned..."

But before the expert finished speaking, strong panic appeared on Ji Gaochuan's face:

"Dead? Dead again! I'm the only one left, no..."

The expert skillfully put his hand on Ji Gaochuan's shoulder and said in a soothing tone:

"Don't worry, beside you are the best elite troops in the entire federation. If it weren't for the existence of Secret Night, those members of the Salvation Alliance might have been arrested by us."

Ji Gaochuan shook his head violently:

"No, if he is even dead..."

"Calm down." The expert continued, "Behind us is the great Federation. No matter how many level IV ability users are needed to defeat the opponent, we can dispatch more combatants than required. No one can stop us.

"

"The dead Son of Flame has a chosen one, and he is not a simple character." Ji Gaochuan calmed down and said.

Experts asked:

"You got a constituent to join the Investigative Unit?"

The expert was about to say something else when he heard familiar heavy footsteps coming from the corridor behind him.

A strong man with painted muscles all over his body walked in:

“The chosen ones of the Sons of Fire?

"They are just slaves of their gods. They are completely incomparable to me."

Ji Gaochuan looked at the thunderstorm walking in unexpectedly, then turned to look at the expert and asked:

"Aren't you also recruiting sons of gods?"

The expert shook his head:

"His situation is unique."

Leiyu said:

"I am the chosen one favored by Thunder, but unlike other sons of gods, Thunder itself is unfettered. This god will not restrain or order us. He gives us power out of his own will, and we can do it according to our own will."

The will to use this power.

"We are all free."

Experts say:

"Leiyu once fought with his compatriots. Children of Thunder often appear in different and even hostile camps, but most of them live alone."

The secret agency "Third Hand" that Lei Yu previously belonged to also had very loose management of its members. After the Investigation Department accepted him, it did not integrate him into the system. Instead, it gave him the title of leader of the hunting team with a high degree of freedom.

.

Lei Yu continued:

"The sons of the gods except us are all slaves and servants of the artifact, and the difference between those chosen people and other people is that they wear more gorgeous shackles, but they are still slaves.

"And I am a warrior."

Thor now only symbolizes unfettered thunder.

In the past, even the weakest electric light belonged to her domain, but with the advent of the electric age, it has continued to grow stronger, and has even expanded to the point of approaching the sun, and is driven upwards.

But at the same time, the constraints he is subject to continue to increase as his strength increases.

Electric energy can accomplish great projects, but it has also been tamed by humans.

In the end, Thor decided to abandon the part of himself that belonged to modern electricity. He cut off the chained limbs with his own hands and transformed them into the thunder itself hanging high in the sky.

Although this may seem like self-weakening, freedom itself means strength.

After Thor regarded freedom from restraint as one of his most important characteristics, he no longer had the ability to order and restrain his people. Although he could theoretically still do so, this was nothing more than a

In self-mutilation.

It would be in her interest for the Sons of Thunder to remain free.

Although she was not restricted, it did not mean that the son of the God of Thunder had no communication with her.

Most of the Sons of Thunder are grateful for the power she gives them, so they will occasionally express their gratitude to her through blood sacrifices. They will choose dangerous enough opponents to challenge them. This behavior is also to prove that they are still powerful warriors.

In the hearts of many Sons of Thunder, freedom and power almost mean the same thing.

Sometimes the God of Thunder will try to make her people realize her will, but the children of Thunder have the right to refuse his request, so the God of Thunder often provides material or non-material rewards.

"A real warrior will not lose to those slaves who are restrained." Lei Yu said to Ji Gaochuan, "I understand your fear. It is human nature for the weak to fear the strong, but now I stand in front of you.

"And I am stronger than your opponent and your companions from the past few days.

"Now forget your fear of them and tell me what's going on."

Ji Gaochuan calmed down when he saw his confident look:

"Although I don't understand warriors and slaves very well, you don't seem to care about the death of a chosen one at all. Well, I remember that I and the Sons of Flame went to the northern part of Gowen State to find something. We also know that it is probably a trap.

…

"But the voter insisted that he did not need to worry about attacks from the Salvation League. He was also very confident at the time and felt that as long as he was in the Salvation League, he would not be able to make any trouble.

"As I said, the Salvation Alliance did launch an offensive. Someone I had never seen at that time appeared in Ren Yan's skill and wiped his head away with a wave of his hand, but Ren Yan's skill still ignited.

Flame, and I headed to a safe distance while they were fighting.

"But before I left for long, there was heavy rain in the sky. Not only that, but the groundwater seemed to be pouring out crazily. Then in just a few dozen seconds, they turned into an ocean that was as deep as my knees, and a wave hit me.

It's on me...

"Then I don't remember anything."

Leiyu narrowed his eyes.

The expert looked at him and said:

"It seems to be consistent with our speculation. It is very likely that the Han family used all their lives to hold a ceremony to summon the ocean vision seen by Ji Gaochuan. In the process, it weakened the power of the Flame Chosen and helped the Salvation Alliance defeat the enemy.

them.

"but why?"

What is it that makes them all turn into a few pools of sea water without any care?

"It must be the will of Poseidon. She has some purpose that we don't know about." Lei Yu asserted, "I said they are slaves. If the master wants them to die, they must die. There is no reason."

Now they have figured out what may have happened.

The expert took out his mobile phone, opened the photo album, and showed the pictures inside to Ji Gaochuan:
