Are you afraid?

This is a large room full of surveillance screens, and the lights are not turned on here.All the light comes from on-screen monitors and overhead red warning lights that go on and off.

An old figure leaned on the console and turned off the microphone.

He turned his head, the gully on his face was horribly illuminated by the flickering red light.

"Arthur, do you think I'm unlucky?"

"Every time, it's just a little bit short of success. Back then when Incubus and the others were rounded up, the research in the laboratory was just a step away. Nie Xi and the others couldn't be killed... also..."

When Roland said this, he couldn't control how he always maintained a good face, and his tone inevitably became resentful.

Arthur stood upright behind Roland.

He is a silent guardian, but not a good conversationalist.

After organizing his words for a while, he finally said something that seemed to be comforting.

"No, it's just because it's too difficult. You didn't sell your soul to any maharaja like those shameful people. You are looking for a way for human beings to survive independently and powerfully. What you are doing is unprecedented. great cause."

……

Roland sighed and took out the magnetic card from his pocket.

"It's been 2 minutes. Even if Karen's head is emptied, I think he will make the right choice."

He held the small magnetic card in his only remaining hand, but his eyes were fixed on a figure in a white coat on a surveillance screen.

That was Karen, and in front of him was the contract waiting for his signature.But the laboratory he couldn't let go of was about to be destroyed, and although Nie Xi and the others stopped him, they couldn't come up with any feasible suggestions.

The countdown is 30 seconds.

Karen, who was wearing a white coat, couldn't bear it and picked up the microphone.

"I'm sorry, I don't want to be buried with my lab yet, you guys can't solve this matter, so don't blame me for going back on my word!"

He walked up to the contract paper and held both ends of the paper with trembling hands.

Roland stared at the screen, unconsciously showing a satisfied smile on the corner of his mouth.

Arthur was also inevitably attracted by everything on the screen.

drop!

A sharp electronic sound sounded above everyone's heads.

Nie Xi glanced left and right in disbelief.

The siren stopped suddenly.

"what happened?"

Although Karen's tearing up the contract does not mean that they will definitely fail, but after all, they made a mistake at a critical moment when the matter is about to be resolved satisfactorily, and it is inevitable that they will be disappointed and nervous.

There was even a layer of cold sweat oozing from his back.

"Someone helped us," Incubus said.

"Karen?" Nie Xi asked in surprise.

There was some noise coming from the monitoring equipment, which seemed to be caused by the microphones interfering with each other.

"Not me," said Karen's voice.

Who is that?Nie Xi really couldn't think of anyone else who could help them here.After all, his friends either couldn't get out of his dreams, or they were fleeing for their lives in this world that was severely disturbed by parasites, just like those well-organized people.

As if to answer the question in Nie Xi's heart, a young voice rang out from the microphone.

"It's all right. That nasty old guy is crying on the ground in pain."

In front of the light projected by the monitoring screen, a red-haired figure stood there instead of Roland.He turned on the microphone just like Roland did just now, and tried to say a word.

"You... who are you?" Roland's only hand was broken in the other corner of the room, like a dry old branch being crushed by the red-haired man's foot.

Holding up his bleeding arm, he asked the person in front of him angrily.

Arthur was knocked to the corner by the man's long tail, and the back of his head knocked the metal wall out of a pool of blood.Looks like it can't help him.

"Me?" The red-haired man scratched his head and smiled while holding the magnetic card he snatched from Roland. "I am Nie Xi's suitor!"

Feng Qi spoke generously, maybe just for the sake of mouth craving, but he completely forgot that the microphone was not turned off.

……

Iced Lemon Tea looked at Nie Xi thoughtfully.

Nie Xi secretly looked at Incubus from the corner of his eye.

Incubus smiled half a smile, but no one looked at it.

Nie Xi secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

Maybe he should be thankful that his grandpa is not here now, otherwise what would his image in his old man's heart be like!

Nie Xi coughed hard.

Hearing Nie Xi's voice, Feng Qi remembered that he hadn't turned off the microphone just now. He smiled mockingly, stuffed the magnetic card into his mouth, swallowed it, and said into the microphone.

"Hey, Nie Xi, I'm Feng Qi, I've already dealt with these two people. Don't worry."

"Well, I guessed it, thank you." Nie Xi hesitated and asked. "How did you find those two people, and you just knew we needed help?"

"After this world was connected to the world where I improved my power, I accidentally saw Yin Dushi with those strange people. I remember that you and Yin Dushi knew each other, and I wanted to find you, so I just I came to this world with them. Later, they put Yin Dushi in a building by the river, and they discussed that they would set a trap to harm you, and I just waited there."

"Later, I saw that you really fell into the trap, but there were too many of them at that time, and it was difficult for me to save the situation by myself. I could only lie in ambush and find an opportunity to snatch a piece from that old guy. Important spar. It is a pity that although he left at that time, the others did not. I have never been able to find a chance to help you, and found that you and the buildings on the river have all disappeared, so I have to stay in this world Waiting for you. Fortunately, not long ago, I noticed that old guy reappeared in this world, and I traced his scent and followed him all the way."

Feng Qi seemed a little complacent when he said this, he glanced at Roland who was trembling on the ground, and said braggingly.

"I saw that there were so many people around you, so I didn't make a sound. Because I thought that this guy must have bad intentions. I thought that if I followed him secretly, maybe it would have an unexpected effect." Fortunately, I was not wrong, holding back my anger and following him for so long was not in vain."

Feng Qi laughed, stretched out a hand and tapped Roland's forehead.

"You didn't expect it!"

Roland lowered his head and remained silent.

Nie Xi also guessed that Feng Qi was taunting Roland, but he also felt happy in his heart.

The situation was completely controlled by Nie Xi's side, and Dr. Karen felt that he had to make a statement, so he hurriedly said something between the two of them.

"I have signed the contract. The researchers who have the same wish as me have also signed it."

"Open the elevator and let us leave the underground. We will find someone to remove this laboratory." Nie Xi explained to Dr. Karen, and then said to Feng Qi. "You take Roland out. Let's meet outside. In order to prevent him from making small moves, you can take any precautionary measures..."

--------------

Back on the ground again.Nie Xi didn't wait long at the door when he saw the red-haired figure.

Roland was carried upside down by him in his hand, leaving a trail of blood on the ground he walked on.

"Thank you for your hard work. We have a contract with him, and we must let him stay alive at the altar if we can." Nie Xi glanced at the dying Roland.

"It's okay, he can't make waves like this." Feng Qi threw Roland on the ground.

"You...you can't let me die..." Roland said hoarsely while lying on his back, holding up his bleeding wrist. "Here, give me the medicine..."

In this place, the bomb that blocked the realm channel had failed. Nie Xi took out a bottle of potion from the package and poured it on Roland's face.

Roland thought it was wound medicine, and opened his mouth wide to accept the medicine splashed on his face.

It's a pity that things didn't develop as he expected. His wrist stopped bleeding, but his white hair immediately became curly. Then, his whole body quickly curled up like a branch thrown into the stove.

The pain made him open his mouth wide, but before he could yell out, his whole body condensed into an ugly black human-shaped tree.

Nie Xi took him into the space.

This is the first time he has used the Soul of Torment to gather energy.

feel good.

Seeing that Nie Xi was busy with the matter at hand, Feng Qi bit his lip, and tentatively took two steps closer to him.

"haven't seen you for a long time……"

Before Nie Xi could figure out what kind of reaction he should use to deal with Feng Qi, Incubus rushed over to him first.He patted Feng Qi's barbed shoulder, which didn't bother him.

"Thank you very much for saving us so much trouble this time. I thank you for Nie Xi."

Feng Qi looked at Incubus with an ugly expression.

"Nie Xi doesn't know how to say it himself."

"The two of us are inseparable from each other." Incubus gave a perfect smile.

"I don't believe what you say." Feng Qi avoids Incubus's hand, walks up to Nie Xi, and spits out two things from his mouth like offering treasures.

Nie Xi could see clearly that one of them was a cyan spar, and the other was Roland's magnetic card at the Solar Research Institute.

"This spar should be the stone that controlled the female worm on Yin Dushi's body before." Nie Xi sighed and took it in his hand.
