We hadn't used any life-severing secret techniques since we charged into the enemy ranks.

It wasn't that we didn't have time to use those kinds of moves, but rather that those techniques consumed too much true energy. If we unleashed those deadly moves, we could get out of the immediate predicament, but it would only hasten our demise.

I watched a team of Yin soldiers charge towards me. I simultaneously slashed outwards with both hands, creating two crisscrossing blades of qi that stretched for several meters. Just as I was cutting the approaching enemies into two pieces, I suddenly felt my blade strike something like a human body.

Before I could react, warm, fresh blood splattered onto my face. The salty, fishy stench of human blood suddenly filled my mouth and nose, and my heart sank.

Damn it!

We'd been set up!

Ye Yang's figure also came to a halt. "We've fallen for a trap."

No sooner had Ye Yang's voice faded than the scenery around us suddenly transformed into the lobby of Jin Sheng Corporation.

Several bodies were already lying scattered around me and Ye Yang.

It turned out that after we came down the elevator, we hadn't fallen into the Cycle Secret Realm. Instead, we had walked directly from the elevator into the lobby.

The person who set up the trap had taken advantage of the fact that we were fighting illusions to bring living people close to us, waiting for the right moment for them to die by our swords.

By the time we realized what was happening, the police had already sealed off the doors of Jin Sheng Corporation.

Someone was shouting through a loudspeaker, "Those inside, put down your weapons and don't harm the hostages!"

Ye Yang and I had been fighting for so long that our physical and internal strength was nearly exhausted. Charging out would be a dead end.

I turned to look at Su Su, who wasn't far away. "Su Su, take our weapons. Contact Lao Shang and have them find a way to save me. Go now!"

Su Su knew that the only thing she could do at that moment was to retreat as quickly as possible. Without a word, she picked up our weapons and quickly retreated towards Shang Xingyan.

Once Su Su was gone, Ye Yang and I simultaneously put our hands on our heads and walked towards the door. Unsurprisingly, we were taken into an interrogation room.

I had barely sat down when Yue Ting burst in and said to the officers in the room, "You go out. I'll handle this."

The officer looked at Yue Ting and said, "Sister Ting, don't be impulsive. Call me if you need anything!" Then he closed the door and left the interrogation room.

Yue Ting sat down opposite me with a grim expression. "Why did you kill Xiao Fei?"

"Xiao Fei? Who's that? Your sister?" I vaguely remembered Yue Ting saying that the person she was looking for was named "Xiao Fei."

Yue Ting stood up abruptly. "You cut her in half, and you're asking me who she is?"

"The process of you killing people..."

I didn't hear what Yue Ting said after that, because her image had merged with the security guard who had stopped me at the train station years ago.

In that instant, I felt as if I was sitting in the security room I had been taken to when I had just run away from home. The other person also didn't believe what I was saying.

Cycle Secret Art!

I remembered someone telling me that the Cycle Division had a secret technique called the Cycle Secret Art.

It allowed a certain event that had happened to the target to reappear in the same way.

The Cycle Secret Art chose tribulations from the target's past. It was equivalent to activating a tribulation that was fated by the heavens once again. People could avoid the same tribulation once, but they couldn't avoid it a second time.

Therefore, no one had ever escaped the Cycle Secret Art.

Of course, the Cycle Secret Art didn't perfectly recreate what had happened. At most, it allowed the current situation to be somewhat similar to the past. The greater the similarity, the greater the power of the Cycle Secret Art.

Back then, when I ran away to seek refuge and waited for my dad to rescue me, no one believed me. Now, I wanted to buy time and wait for Shang Xingyan's reinforcements, but no one believed me either.

Back then, I was just a child and couldn't face ghosts and gods. Now, my internal energy was exhausted, and I couldn't fight ghosts and gods either.

Back then, my dad wanted to save me but couldn't get there in time. Now, Shang Xingyan wanted to send reinforcements, but he might be delayed by something.

Back then, I was almost trapped in the security room by a ghost. Now, would it happen again...?

When I subconsciously turned my head to look outside the door, the person who had left earlier also turned to look inside. Not only was their face pale as paper, but their eyes were also filled with a heavy air of death.

The other party had almost recreated half of the situation back then.

After that, I should try to escape, right?

While my mind was still racing, Yue Ting slammed her hand on the table. "I'm asking you a question!"

"You have the right to ask, and I have the right not to answer!" I didn't want to waste my breath on Yue Ting right now.

Yue Ting was so angry that her face turned pale. "Do you think you can do whatever you want just because you have some skills? Today, if you don't confess honestly, don't even think about walking out of this room."

It was then that I realized that something was wrong with the look in Yue Ting's eyes!

There was too much ferocity in her eyes. She had been controlled.

Was Yue Ting also a part of the Cycle Secret Art?

Yue Ting suddenly pulled out a gun and pointed it at my head. "I'll give you one more chance. If you don't confess honestly, I'll shoot you dead!"

I subconsciously raised my arm, and the handcuffs on my wrist fell to the ground on their own.
