This villain, please exercise some restraint.

When Lan Shi heard this, he frowned and turned around, "I said the Hanged Man, you——"

His words stopped abruptly.

Then, under the gaze of the Hanged Man, he stretched out his hand and pointed at the back of the young man in front of him.

"I'll go, it's that woman!"

The young man in red clothes and blue trousers frowned slightly, but when he turned around, he saw an uninvited guest.

queen.

The girl raised her gold-armored hand and shook it twice as a greeting.

"Do not be afraid."

she says.

She did not miss the fleeting warning on the face of the young man in front of her.

"The Hanged Man, although I don't like you, I'm not here to seek personal revenge."

The "Queen" reached out and brushed the long hair in front of her forehead, her expression was arrogant, and her eyes seemed to have no room for anyone.

"The world is looking for you, he... needs you."

After a pause, the "Queen" bluntly stated the purpose of her trip. She had no time, because the little power she had left was now focused on restraining An Xu on both the mental and physical levels.

Now, on the verge of dissipation.

"You know where he is."

As soon as the "Queen" finished speaking, her whole body began to disappear rapidly, which was a sign that her power was exhausted.

In just one breath, the Hanged Man was shocked to see the queen in front of him disappear without a trace.

He subconsciously reached out to touch it, but felt nothing except the invisible and intangible air.

"world......"

The Hanged Man slowly retracted his outstretched hand and murmured to himself.

"...What is the world? Is he a person? Or...a powerful being like you?"

Lan Shi took off his headphones and asked curiously after watching the woman disappear.

But he soon saw the caution coming from the Hanged Man's face.

That look was even worse than the last time he dealt with that woman.

"Huh? What's wrong?"

He was stunned for a moment and stared at the young man in front of him.

"I don't know whether I should reveal his existence to you, but I think... he called me because there is something that requires me."

"As for my abilities, they are all things that can be called 'taboos'."

"I don't know if this time will be our last meeting."

The young man in red clothes and blue trousers said, turned his head and looked into the depths of the Star Forest.

From an angle that Lan Shi had never seen, a touch of unnoticeable loneliness flashed across his cheek, and then disappeared.

"No way...you are so strong——"

Lan Shi's words were interrupted.

The Hanged Man shook his head and turned his back to the boy with the headphones behind him. He sighed, "'The World'... is an existence that is much more powerful than me. I still don't know his abilities, but I used to , once glimpsed a glimpse of that huge power through his agent."

"So, whether it's from the perspective of supremacy of strength or...some other perspective, I can't refuse the order from the 'world'."

The boy with the headphones was stunned.

He couldn't understand the sudden appearance of a strange character, but... he didn't want anything to happen to the Hanged Man.

"Can you not leave so quickly?"

After swallowing, he asked tentatively, "To be honest, I have regarded you as a buddy these days. I'm quite... reluctant to say such a thing suddenly."

"Although you sometimes make me collapse, when I think about not having you in the future, I may feel a little uncomfortable. The most important thing is-"

"Whose lap will I hold when you leave?"

The boy with the earphones took hold of the Hanged Man's arm, and the expression on his face was quite complicated.

"Lan Shi."

The young man was silent for a moment and sighed again.

"...what?"

"If possible, I think it would be better for you to go offline permanently. This world is not suitable for you. What you should focus on is your reality."

"I feel that this world will become very dangerous in the near future, and you don't want to be affected, right?"

The young man in blue clothes and red pants disappeared as soon as he finished speaking.

Lan Shi stared at his empty palms, with obvious disappointment on his face.

"...The Hanged Man..."

He looked at the empty front and murmured to himself.

......

Zhongzhou, the "Apocalypse" family.

"Madam"'s rhythmic footsteps sounded from far and near, and soon they stopped beside Ye Jiang, who was sitting anxiously.

"...How about it? The boss you call, has he agreed to see me? Or...is he willing to accept that card?"

The expression on "Ms.'s" face changed slightly, and a trace of regret flashed across her eyes.

She shook her head.

He handed the "temperance" card in his hand to Ye Jiang.

"The boss didn't say whether it was OK or not. He just took a look at the card and continued his research."

"but--"

"Ms." paused, then took out a simple envelope from her coat pocket.

"He asked me to give this to you."

Ye Jiang opened his mouth and glanced at the envelope handed over. It was unremarkable.

Finally, he stood up and took it silently.

Opening it in silence, Ye Jiang couldn't help but clenched his fists when he saw the extremely eye-catching word "mission" on it.

Are these inexplicable guys sick? Can it be done in one sentence? It has to be one task within another, right?

He had the illusion that he was running around in circles like a puppy, being played around in circles.

[Mission: Go to the "Shaking Light" family, find the DD generation thug - Qi Dasheng, and assist him until the end of his mission. 】

[Task reward: 1. The control cards will be owned]

[Task reward: 2. A-level animal pets that can evolve to super-advanced force value max - blank. 】

But when he saw the scrawled reward in the task reward column, the anger in Ye Jiangyun's heart cooled down instantly.

The so-called "task" didn't sound difficult, but the description of the rewards gave him the illusion that the tasks and rewards were extremely mismatched.

If true, the first reward would solve his urgent need.

As for the second reward, if there is no exaggeration, just looking at the not-so-short suffix on the front, it must be a very powerful pet.

Is it a cat? Is it a dragon? Or a cute little white dog like...the one Xiaotong got from the Fool?

Ye Jiang didn't know, but he was really moved by it. If it was a cooler pet, it would be even more perfect.

He didn't know whether "Apocalypse" could really fulfill its promise, but now, he could only choose to believe.

"Huh? Are you leaving now?"

The lady stared at Ye Jiang's retreating back and raised her eyebrows.

But the young man who had walked away quickly didn't seem to hear it, and soon disappeared from her sight.

And soon, another slender white figure came into her eyes.

It's Miss B.

At this moment, she was holding a half-eaten apple, humming a song, and with a smile, she passed by "Ms." and sat on the sofa nearby.

"In such a good mood?"

"Madam" asked with a slight smile.

"No! If the boss who has been urging you to do your work one day does everything by himself, wherever you go in the laboratory will be in the way, and you won't even have to do anything!!"

"But your salary will still be paid and your status will remain the same, and you will be super happy!"

Miss B said, took another bite of the apple, and opened the game device in front of her.

"Playing games in a holographic game is something that I never dared to think about before, but it can be easily achieved in 'Apocalypse'. I play games while working. I really hope that the boss can always maintain his enthusiasm for work and always... Well... live a long life!"

Miss B chewed the apple in her mouth and spoke a little slurred.
