THE LIGHTNING

'The myth of the two chambers is the story of two places with different kinds of phenomena. That was what my father said before he died...' Shen Wei opens his story, 'One of them is a room where everyone who stays inside will not be influenced by the time movement outside and the other is a normal place where the fountain of eternity flows into a deep pool. Nobody knows where the water comes from and where it disappears but the fountain never stops flowing and the pool is never overflowing...'

'So, you want to say that the myth already exists even before the four hollows?' Zhao YunLan stares at his lover.

'Mhm...' Shen Wei nodded, 'It just, somehow, the myth is forgotten...'

'Certain myth is created to be forgotten as they need to can never be found...' A familiar voice was heard from the entrance. Zhao XinChi's figure appeared but Zhao YunLan realizes the man is not his father.

'What are you doing here?' Zhao YunLan frowns.

'Officer Chu said you need the Astronomer's face sketch...' Zhang Shi replied, 'He can't draw anything. So, how can I give you the sketch?'

Zhao YunLan scratches his head, 'Alright, cut the sketch problem!' He grabs the picture of the young Ma TiHua and shows it to Zhang Shi, 'Do you know him?'

Zhang Shi takes the picture and scrutiny the young man's figure, 'Yes, his face is familiar. He has the same face as the astronomer. He may be the astronomer's descendant...' He answered as he returned the picture.

'No...' Zhao YunLan replied, 'I'm sure that they both are the same person...'

'What do you mean?' Zhang Shi asked.

'My forensic scientist found that this man's cells have a magnificent ability to regenerate themselves which is mean that the man can't be wounded, get sick, even aging...Is that ring a bell?' Zhao YunLan glance at Zhang Zhi. Listen to that, Zhang Shi lifts his eyes as he comprehends the situation.

'What ring a bell? What happened here?' Zhao MingAn stands as he lifts his eyes, he holds himself enough to keep ignoring his elder brother.

'Ah Ming...'

'Don't stop me, Ge!' Zhao MingAn shouted, 'I tolerate you enough! This is about my lover, I deserve to know. What this Ma TiHua man wants from Professor Shen?'

'The myth told us that Lord of Du Huang mountain was created four gates to prevent anyone entering the chambers...' Zhang Shi replied, 'The keys for each door were kept under the protection of four holy animals and the map to find the keys were guarded by the four perils. However, the map itself was divided into two. The first map that leads to the main map was hidden among the demon-beast...'

'And...' Zhao MingAn tried his best to be patient.

'According to the legend, there is one person who was granted to have the power that could extract the maps and the keys from the place they were kept and one other person who was granted the marvelous power to keep the gatekeeper safe. These two people were born as the twins, called as the guardians...' Zhang Shi turns his eyes to Shen Wei.

'Do you want to say that Professor Shen is the gatekeeper?'

'Yes...'

'But these times, Professor Shen never wants to use his power. He always hides it. Then why now?' Da Qing frowns.

'Lao Zhao, you said that Professor Shen's mind is not under Mr. Ma's control then why does he go with Mr. Ma willingly?' Zhu Hong asked.

'I just afraid that he might gain his past life memory...' Zhao YunLan said.

'Uncle Ma...May I ask you something?'

'You talk so politely in the present life, YeZun...' Ma TiHua snorted as he pour the red wine into the glass.

Shen YeZun lowered his gaze, 'Uncle Ma, do you know me in the past?'

Ma TiHua sighs as he gently lifts YeZun's chin and looks at the timid eyes. 'YeZun...I don't know you directly as you died when I was not even born yet...But the legend of the DiXing men named Shen Wei and Shen YeZun never dies and echoes from generation to generation in HaiXing land even though both of you are already gone. Do you know? The one who killed you was your brother...Shen Wei...' Ma TiHua sips the red wine.

'Is that mean that you know Zhao YunLan?'

Ma TiHua snorts, 'Of course, I heard about him too...The companion of the Black Cloak Envoy, the one who helped him to slaughter his brother but became a hero for HaiXing...' He put down his drink and looks to the hidden laboratory, where Ouyang Zhen is currently working, through the one-way glass. He glances at his young handsome face that is reflected in the glass, tidying his suit.

'You told me earlier that you decided to change the history...What do you mean by that?' Shen YeZun lifts his eyes a little.

'I checked the date when the meteor strikes on HaiXing...' Ma TiHua lifts his eyes and scrutiny the site that more looks like a modified cave as there are many artificial lights planted around the place, 'I built a time machine and use it to back to the ancient time and helped our ancestors to avoid the destruction...Luckily, with several tricks, our ancestors believe me...'

'So you want to say that you schemed that occurrence?' Shen YeZun frowns.

'I am...' Ma TiHua smiles. 'To preserve the most important things for me...'

'And that is...'

Ma TiHua strides closer to Shen YeZun, touches the man's cheek softly. 'You. My most beautiful creature, my significant, my living god...' He kissed Shen YeZun's hand softly, 'You never know how I search for you in these ten thousand years...' He moves his face closer to YeZun, about to kiss the dismayed man who still can't come to terms with his ground after receiving so much information. But when their lips almost touch, a loud bang is heard from across the chamber.

Guo ChangCheng who somehow can escape from Ouyang Zhen's car trunk is hiding behind a large stone and incidentally kicks a lampstand, can't do anything but close his mouth with his palms and scoot deeper into the dark corner. Irritated as he is interrupted by the voice, Ma TiHua walks to the source and almost finds Guo ChangCheng if not because Shen YeZun gains his sense and calls for him. 'Uncle Ma...'

'How long will you call me Uncle Ma?' Ma TiHua smiles as he strides towards YeZun, 'We both at the same age, you know...'

'This place is suffocating me. I need to leave this place...' YeZun lowered his gaze.

Ma TiHua lifts his smile, 'Wait for me...I check on Ouyang Zhen first then I'll take you out of this place...' He caresses YeZun's shoulder.

'Mhm...' Shen YeZun nodded.

'What!?' Zhao MingAn is stunned, 'But how it is possible?'

'Maybe, that phenomena happened...' Lin Jing muttered.

'What?' Everyone turns their head to the scientist.

'Cryptomnesia...'

Zhao MingAn slams his face with his palm, 'Lin Ge...Cryptomnesia is a situation when forgotten memory returns even without the consent of the subject but the time is reset, his past life is counted as never happened so how can he remember something that never happened?' He asked irritatedly.

'Well, that's...' Lin Jing sighs as he can no longer explain.

'Unless someone is infused the memory inside him, Professor Shen will never remember anything...But, what's with his past so that he is dismayed by the memory?' Zhao MingAn stares at his brother.

'Ah Ming...'

'Ge, don't avoid my question!'

Listen to his brother's determination, Zhao YunLan has no option but to tell the story of his past. Everyone who doesn't know, can't help but gasps. Nobody ever thought that the soft and timid person was a cruel and cold-blood villain in the past. Zhao MingAn is staggering, the fact hit him harder than anyone else.

'Ah Ming...' Zhao YunLan reaches his brother, wanting to comfort the appalled young man. But Zhao MingAn refuses his good intention and leaves the spot staggeringly.

'Let him be, he needs to sort his mind...' Shen Wei touched Zhao YunLan's shoulder.

'Mhm...'

'What?' Shen Wei is confused when Zhao YunLan turns around as if searching for something.

'Where is Xiao Guo?'

'He insisted to stay in Professor Ouyang's place and keep watching him...' Chu ShuZhi replied to Zhao YunLan's question.

'What!?' Zhao YunLan and Shen Wei look at each other, everyone could see that the Chief is currently panicking. 'How long it's already?' Zhao YunLan glared at Chu ShuZhi.

'Now that you mention it...It's already over a few hours and I don't hear anything from him yet...' Chu ShuZhi reached for his phone and calls Guo ChangCheng.

A loud incoming call voice echoes in the quiet cave, everyone is fell silent instantly. Guo ChangCheng grabs his cell phone in a hurry to shut the voice but instead of turning it down, he drops the phone as he is too nervous. When Guo ChangCheng is about to reach the phone, Ma TiHua steps on it making the young man gulp fearfully.

Crash!

Another loud voice is heard but this time, the sound of Ma TiHua's foot that steps on Guo ChangCheng's cellphone with his heavy shoe. 'So, SID's dog is sniffing at me already...' A menacing tone was heard from the irritated man, less he knows that he didn't crush everything beneath his foot. Chu ShuZhi who can hear the conversation from another side is now stiffened. 'What?' Now, Zhao YunLan is also tense. Chu ShuZhi has no option but to press the loudspeaker button and let everyone hear what he hears.

At the same time, Guo ChangCheng stands up. Even though scared, he can no longer avoid the confrontation. 'You...You are the one who stands behind every disaster that Professor Shen and Xiao Zhao came through!' He points his finger at Ma TiHua, 'We...We will never let you proceed with your plan!' He keeps going even though he is stuttering. Everyone in SID headquarters slams their face in irritation, this young man is asking for death. Zhao YunLan gives Lin Jing a code to search the location, they have to find and rescue this overslept hero before he gets killed.

Ma TiHua's laugh breaks the air, 'I don't think you are in the position to talk...' He said amidst his chuckles, 'Who's going to stop me if nobody knows?'

'My comrades will!'

'They won't if no one tells them, will they?' The laughing face turns menacing once again, slowly. 'Guards!' Ma TiHua shouted.

'Yes, sir!' Several men showed up from the entrance.

'How can an intruder pass all of you unnoticed?' Ma TiHua's voice sounds so calm but the anger inside the tone presses the atmosphere.

The guards are surprised when they see Guo ChangCheng, 'We are sorry, Sir! We don't know either...' They replied in a stutter.

'I don't care how, get rid of him!' Ma TiHua growled.

'Yes, Sir!'

'Uncle Ma...' Shen YeZun holds the man, his voice trembling. Despite remembering his past, Shen YeZun's timidness isn't changed. Sighs, Ma TiHua gives a code to his men to stop.

'YeZun, I can't let you alone now. Come with me...' Ma TiHua stretched his hand.

'Professor Shen, don't go with him!' Guo ChangCheng shouted when Shen YeZun welcomed the hand, 'He doesn't think anything good for you, he just uses you to gain his objectives!'

'YeZun...' Ma TiHua's soft voice as if sipping into Shen YeZun's mind, the man obediently walks with him.

'Professor Shen! Professor Shen!' Guo ChangCheng shouted at the man who strode away, hand in hand with Ma TiHua.

'Shut up!' One of the guards said, 'How can you get inside?' He scrutiny Guo ChangCheng top to toe.

'How?' At the same time, the impatient Zhao YunLan screams at Lin Jing.

'The triangular matrix is messed up! I can't find the exact place...'

'Geez!' Zhao YunLan squeeze his hair.

'Where is the location?' Shen Wei asked.

'Northeastern Desert...' Lin Jing replied. Without saying a word, Shen Wei unleashed his power. His true appearance is unveiled, his black cloak and silky long hair are fluttering because of the tremendous energy around him. He lifts both hands to create the wormhole and soon, he disappeared in its gravity.

'How can I get inside is not your business!' Guo ChangCheng said, 'Now move!'

But one of the guards pushes him back, 'You entered this place, don't you think you can runaway!'

'What do you mean?' Guo ChangCheng gulps, 'I'm a cop! Don't you dare!'

'My boss told you already that if you died, no one will know what happened to you...' The man lifts his hand and sharp nails appear in his fingers, quickly attacking Guo ChangCheng.

Guo ChangCheng who couldn't fight only can close his eyes but it's strange, he doesn't feel any pain. When he opens his eyes, he found Zhu Jiu standing by his side. 'Zhu...Zhu...Zhu Ge...'

'Are you alright?' Zhu Jiu keeps looking at the guards.

'Mhm...Thank you...'

'Who are you!?' The guard shouted.

'My name is Zhu Jiu, I'm here under command of Commander Chu NianZhi...This place is already under the surveillance of the National special force, General Shen commands you all to surrender!' Zhu Jiu declared.

'Is that so?' Ma TiHua smirks, he is in the car when Ouyang Zhen informed him about the ultimatum. 'As they ask for the war, the war that they get...'

'Boss, do you want to say that...'

'Ouyang Zhen...' Ma TiHua interrupted, 'This is the right time to test the soldiers you create. Let's see how good they are...'

Ouyang Zhen smiles, 'Yes...'

Lightning is an electrical discharge that is caused by colliding particles of rain, ice, or snow inside storm clouds increasing the imbalance between storm clouds and the ground. However, this negative charge of the lower cloud always seeks the positive charge in the ground below and creates the balance of both charges, releasing average one-gigajoule energy instantaneously...
