Are you stupid? I am the villain behind the scenes

As if she felt that her memory was being taken away, the unconscious Hua Xi frowned unconsciously and her hands clenched into fists unconsciously, as if she was struggling with something.

Just when the experiment seemed to be going on as planned, a sharp and piercing alarm suddenly erupted from inside the machine, and the indicator lights began to flash chaotically and disorderly.

When Lu Lun saw the abnormality of the machine, his face suddenly changed and he blurted out: "Oh no! She is waking up!"

The experiment must be conducted on the basis that the subject is completely unconscious. Once the subject wakes up, the consequences will be disastrous.

"Awake?" Li Qingchi was surprised. With such serious injuries, how could he wake up in one day?

But the machine wouldn't go wrong, so Li Qingchi quickly came up with an emergency plan, "Can you knock her out?"

Beads of sweat had already oozed out of Lu Lun's forehead. He frantically adjusted the parameters on the control panel while anxiously responding:

"No, the subject cannot be moved after the experiment begins, otherwise the unstable energy may cause the machine to explode."

Hua Xi's eyelids began to tremble, as if she was about to open her eyes in the next second.

Li Qingchi was caught in a dilemma. "No matter what, she must not wake up!"

Lu Lun increased the power of the machine, trying to suppress Hua Xi's consciousness. "I'll try my best."

However, contrary to expectations, the alarm of the machine not only did not weaken, but became even sharper and more piercing. Along with this heart-pounding sound, Hua Xi's eyes finally slowly opened.

Her eyes were blurry at first, but she soon came to her senses and realized that her hands and feet were tightly bound and she was wearing a heavy metal helmet on her head.

She also saw Li Qingchi, a person she didn't recognize, and Yi Mu, who was unconscious in the corner.

Hua Xi didn't know why she was here, but because she felt danger, she couldn't stay any longer.

He struggled hard to break free from his restraints, pulling off his helmet and throwing it on the ground.

"No!" Lu Lun shouted in despair.

There was a dull echo as metal hit the ground, and the broken wires made a crackling sound.

Lu Lun just watched as the results of his more than ten years of hard work, researching day and night, were casually thrown away.

At that moment, his heart seemed to be grasped tightly by an invisible hand. He stood there frozen, his face filled with disbelief and sorrow.

Li Qingchi didn't expect things to develop to this point. He failed to clear the memory and instead destroyed the machine.

Hua Xi stood up and immediately felt pain in many parts of his body, obviously injured.

Did someone hit her?

With full of suspicion, Hua Xi looked around and asked, "What is this place?"

Li Qingchi caught the innocent confusion in Hua Xi's eyes and instantly realized that there was something missing in her memory.

Just as he was about to find an excuse to get away with it, a pungent burnt smell suddenly rushed into his nostrils, interrupting his thoughts.

At this time, the machine began to emit black smoke and sparks because of Hua Xi's forceful struggle.

Lu Lun realized what was going to happen and shouted in fear: "Oh no, the machine is going to explode!"

Li Qingchi then realized the seriousness of the situation, "Quick, get out of here first!"

He grabbed Lu Lun and ran towards the exit.

Lu Lun cannot make any mistakes. Only with him can the second memory erasing machine be built.

However, Hua Xi had no intention of escaping with them. Although she was not clear about the situation, she knew that she had to take Yi Mu with her.

So when Li Qingchi and Lu Lun ran out of the door, Hua Xi rushed to the unconscious Yi Mu and carried him out of the laboratory.

At this critical moment, the machine finally couldn't bear the burden and made a deafening roar.

Immediately afterwards, a powerful gust of air accompanied by scattered debris caused the entire space to collapse.

Hua Xi and Yi Mu were crushed under the rubble in an instant because they failed to escape in time.

On the other side, Li Qingchi and Lu Lun were not in a much better condition either, as they were badly hit by the aftermath of the explosion.

Li Qingchi was covered in dust and dirt, looking at the laboratory that had turned into ruins, his heart filled with anger and resentment.

His plan was completely messed up.

Lu Lun, who was standing aside, had a hollow look in his eyes, as if he had lost his soul. He sat on the ground dejectedly. His originally clean white coat was now stained with mottled stains, and the glasses on his face were nowhere to be found.

Yi Mu was suddenly awakened by the roar of the explosion, but then everything went black before his eyes and he was crushed under piles of rubble.

Fortunately, the two of them were martial artists at level nine, and they possessed extraordinary physical strength, so the explosion and the weight of the rocks did not cause much damage to them.

Hua Xi, who was trying hard to push away the rubble pressing on her body, noticed that someone beside her was moving. "If you wake up, move on your own."

In fact, Hua Xi had many questions in her mind that she wanted to ask Yi Mu, such as why they were here, and what was going on with Li Qingchi...

In her impression, she had no intersection with Li Qingchi, so why did she see him when she woke up.

Yi Mu's voice was a little hoarse: "When did you wake up?"

Hua Xi felt strange. When did she and Yi Mu become able to communicate so friendly?

But she still answered: "A few minutes earlier than you."

Yi Mu: "Did you cause the explosion?"

Hua Xi: “…I guess so.”

She really didn't expect that the damaged machine would explode. If she had known that earlier, she might have been more gentle and not damaged the machine, and now she wouldn't be trapped underneath.

The two of them didn't speak anymore and focused on solving the dilemma at hand.

They were all injured and it took them a lot of effort to finally get out of the rubble.

Hua Xi stood up, brushed off the dust on her body, and looked at the unfamiliar environment. Just as she was wondering where she was, she suddenly heard footsteps coming from afar.

Following the sound, they saw a team of well-equipped guards approaching them.

Hua Xi narrowed her eyes slightly and her gaze fell on the lion mark on their uniforms. She instantly realized that they were from the Li family.

"This is the Li family." Hua Xi said with certainty, but she was full of doubts in her heart.

Shouldn't she be in White City?

How did I suddenly end up at the Li family in Xuanzhou?

When Yi Mu heard Hua Xi's words, he frowned slightly and noticed that something was wrong with Hua Xi.

According to common sense, she shouldn't say such things at this time.

Before Yi Mu could figure out what was going on, the guards of the Li family had surrounded them.

The leader of the team said, "Miss Bai, Master Yi, the two of you trespassed into the forbidden area and deliberately blew it up. The clan leader ordered us to invite you two over."

Trespassing?

Li Qingchi's hypocrisy made Yi Mu sneer in his heart.

Faced with the sudden accusation, Hua Xi was a little confused and had to ask Yi Mu beside her:

"what happened?"

Yi Mu was certain that there was something wrong with Hua Xi's memory, and a guess quickly flashed through his mind.

He asked Hua Xi in return: "Do you remember how you got the injury?"

Hua Xi immediately realized what Yi Mu meant, and immediately understood, "I lost a memory."

"When was your last memory before you woke up?"

“In the classroom.”

So, before she woke up, someone was erasing her memory...

It's the exploding machine!

The leader saw Yi Mu and Hua Xi chatting as if no one was around, and said impatiently: "Miss Bai, Master Yi, please follow us."

The twelve guards surrounding them were all very powerful. They were all martial artists at level seven and were high-level guards of the Li family.

If Yi Mu and Hua Xi had not been injured, these twelve people would never have been their match. However, Li Qingchi knew that Yi Mu and Hua Xi were both seriously injured, and their strength might not even be one-tenth of their usual strength. That was why he only sent these people, thinking that they were more than enough.

"Can you still fight?" Hua Xi stretched his muscles and asked Yi Mu.

While clearing the rubble, Hua Xi found out that Yi Mu was also a martial artist.

"Almost." Yi Mu's eyes were cold as he glanced at the guards surrounding them.

"Then call it out."

As soon as she finished speaking, Hua Xi took the lead in attacking the guard closest to her. Her movements were fierce and the wind from her fists was whistling.

The guard reacted very quickly, dodging sideways and punching back.

Yi Mu also flashed and joined the battle.

For a moment, the scene was in chaos, with fists flying and energy overflowing.

In less than five minutes, the twelve guards fell to the ground, unable to fight back.

Yi Mu and Hua Xi's situation was not much better. They supported themselves on the ground with their hands, breathing heavily, and enduring the pain in their bodies. Beads of sweat the size of beans slid down their foreheads and hit the ground.

He paused for two seconds and said, "Let's go."

The two of them walked quickly in one direction.

They were exactly at the westernmost part of the Li family, with a high wall a hundred meters away.

As long as you climb over the wall, you're out of the Li family.

Just as the two were about to reach the wall, they found a person standing by the wall.

The man seemed to have heard the noise behind him, turned around, and saw that it was them, with a bit of surprise in his tone: "Miss Bai? Why are you here?"
