Royal Alchemist

Edmund landed on all fours, and slowly turned his head to Qiuye, revealing his white teeth.

Qiuye's mind was very chaotic, as if there were countless voices shouting, and her brain was swollen and painful, as if it was about to split.There was an invisible force surging in his body, every blood vessel and vein flowing in his limbs.what happened?

He pressed his temples and leaned against the wall, yelling: Stop!

go away!Edmund bared his teeth.

Qiu Ye took a step forward, and a row of thorns grew on the metal ground in an instant, sliding towards Edmund.

Edmund jumped sideways, and pulled his hand out of the researcher's body. Blood dripped down his thick fingers. The researcher twitched and closed his eyes.

The blood seemed to be boiling, bubbling and bubbling, the body seemed to be expanding, and the beating heartbeat sounded clearly in my ears, and I almost couldn't stand still.Something is about to break out of the cocoon, and the primitive instinct breaks through the barrier.

Qiu Ye asked: Who let you out?

Edmund didn't answer, a threatening sound came from his throat.

In the next second, Edmund's tail slapped on the ground, and with this thrust, he pounced on Qiuye with a speed as fast as lightning and his nails as sharp as knives.

In an instant, Qiuye closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, her black pupils turned golden, and the pupils narrowed into a vertical line.

Edmund's eyes clearly reflected his appearance at the moment.

roll!

Akiba shouted violently in his head.

Only one word!All it takes is one word!

The body of Edmund's half-dragon jerked violently, as if he had been frightened by something, he fell directly from the air to the ground, curled up into a ball and howled, trembling non-stop.

This is the instinctive submission and fear of low-level beasts meeting high-level beasts!

The huge energy was like a gale, forming a vortex centered on the autumn leaves, and even the air was about to be sucked dry. Edmund was prostrate on the ground, unable to lift his head under the pressure.

"Retreat carefully! Don't be nervous!" Several soldiers rushed over and shouted at Qiuye.

Qiu Ye staggered and knelt down on the ground, covering her eyes with her hands.

The soldiers fired a few shots at Edmund in succession. The attacking technique cooperated with the hunting gun, and several people rushed up to grab Edmund who was already lying on the ground.

A second lieutenant ran to Qiuye: "Mr. Researcher, are you okay?"

Akiba lowered her head even lower.

The second lieutenant thought he was terrified: "The dragon man has been caught, and he's fine now, do you want me to help you up?"

The golden color in the pupils slowly faded away, and the burning weird energy also gradually dissipated. He blinked, and his eyes returned to their original shape.

"It's okay, I can walk by myself." Qiu Ye stood up while supporting the wall, her back was completely soaked.

Suddenly he felt a sharp line of sight, turned his head suddenly, and that line of sight disappeared in an instant, and he couldn't see any suspicious person, but his heartbeat suddenly accelerated.

who?Who is peeping?Akiba clenched her icy hands.

"Mr. Researcher, your complexion is not very good, can you walk by yourself?" The officer thought he was very strange, saying that he was scared but not like him, and was startled.

"It's okay, it's okay..." Qiuye pushed the officer away, and then looked at Edmund, who had been injected with anesthesia, and several soldiers carried him away with all their strength.

Slowly walking back to the research room of the third group, Mr. Zhong was standing at the door.

Qiu Ye said weakly: "Mr. Zhong, why did you come outside? It's very dangerous. Go inside."

"Did Edmund run away?" The old man was quite old, but his mind was still clear, and he was one of the few people in the Academy of Sciences who called the captive of the Demon Dragon Man Edmund.

"Yes, they have been caught. It seems that a few people died."

"I knew it." Zhong Lao sighed, and walked into the research room tremblingly, "I knew he couldn't be locked up like this..."

If it was normal, Qiuye might still chat with him along the topic, but now he can't get excited at all.

A lot of mental power consumption is one aspect, and more importantly, the heart has been strongly shocked.

His eyes could change, and it turned into that kind of horrible strange appearance, so how could he not be frightened?

That is a pair of golden longan!

If it was just speculation from many aspects before, it can be almost confirmed now. It turns out that I am really not a human being. How could the eyes of a normal person become the eyes of a reptile?

Qiu Ye lay wearily on the table, buried herself in her arms, and deep fear wrapped around him.

He really hoped that what happened just now was a nightmare. In fact, there were too many doubts pointing to this result, but he refused to admit it all the time. Now this layer of paper has finally been pierced.

Is it Qiu Xingyao or one of Ravenor who is a dragon?Or is there something wrong with their genes in the breeding process?

It's not clear yet, and he doesn't want to find out.

My thoughts were messy, and I was about to go back to the house to sort it out, when I heard someone shouting outside again.

What happened again?

Qiu Ye and Zhong Lao looked at the door at the same time. After going through this scene, the researchers were like frightened birds.

"Dragonman, Dragonman..." Someone was shouting, but only these three words could be heard clearly.

Qiu Ye didn't want to go anymore, but seeing Mr. Zhong holding the table and trying to stand up, how could he sit still and let an old man run around?

"Let me go." Qiu Ye helped Mr. Zhong to sit down.

As soon as he walked out of the door, he heard someone say: "The dragon man is dead!"

died?Qiuye's brain couldn't turn around for a while.

He obviously just scolded him just now, why did he die suddenly?

Akiba suddenly thought of something, and immediately ran to the laboratory where Edmund was being held.

A lot of people were crowded in the small research room, Qiu Ye pushed aside the crowd and squeezed to the front with the small number of people.

There are no more dragon figures in the glass cage, only a large piece of black meat, and the shape of the original dragon tail can be vaguely seen. The huge piece of meat is melting like ice, turning into a puddle of black water. A thin layer has accumulated.

The same is true of the dragonmen who died in wars in the past. Once they die, their bodies will melt, first turning into pieces of meat, and finally nothing is left.

Everyone watched silently, no one knew what happened or why he died all of a sudden.

Qiu Ye looked around in amazement, trying to find something, but found nothing in the end.

Several researchers whispered on the sidelines. After all, it is extremely dangerous for the Academy of Sciences to close such a horrible thing. Now that Edmund is dead, but the research subject is gone. I don't know whether to be happy or sad.

"Video! Watch the video!" Qiu Ye yelled, "Have you seen who let him out in the video? Who came after he was escorted back?"

"Looks like Julie let him out," said one researcher.

Another researcher said: "The second lieutenant who led the team seemed to be watching a video."

Qiu Ye quickly squeezed through the crowd and ran to the monitoring room.

Sure enough, the second lieutenant brought a deputy to the two monitors to retrieve the video.

Qiu Ye panted, "Can I be together?"

The second lieutenant nodded, remembering that he was the researcher who "nearly became a victim".

The monitor reversed the video ten minutes ago: "I was on duty at that time, and I saw Julie turn on the switch of the glass cover, and then the dragon escaped. It was I who pressed the siren. Her It was very fast, I called her on the radio, but she just ignored me. The dragon man killed her as soon as he escaped from the glass cover, and he had no idea what she was doing."

The video started to play, and a woman in a blue coat walked into the research room with her head down, carrying food. This woman was Julie, a handyman who was responsible for delivering food to Edmund. Although she was not a researcher of the Academy of Sciences, she was already in The Academy of Sciences has been working for six or seven years.

Qiu Ye stared at the woman's silhouette, feeling something was wrong.

Normally, she just needs to place the food on the tray extending from the base, and the food will be automatically fed into the glass cage.But today she didn't do that, but put the food aside and started manipulating the console.

The monitor's questioning voice sounded on the radio: "Julie, what are you doing?"

The woman sped up the speed. It stands to reason that she shouldn't know how to operate the glass cover, nor could she know the password to open it, but she unlocked it without any hindrance.

"Julie, stop! Do you know what you are doing!" The monitor yelled urgently, and the siren sounded at the same time.

But the glass cover had been opened, and Edmund jumped out at once.

Only then did the woman clenched her fists and screamed as if she had come to her senses.

But before she finished screaming, Edmund's hand was inserted into her belly.

The scream was stuck in her throat, Julie fell limply to the ground, and Edmund escaped from the cell.

The monitor paused the video and opened a section of corridor surveillance.When Edmund rushed out, two unlucky researchers happened to pass by.

Edmund immediately slapped one of them, and a cut appeared on the researcher's body on the spot, from one forehead to the other waist, almost cut in half.

The other researcher ran away screaming, which was the one Akiba saw later.

After all, he couldn't escape the fate of death. He turned a corner and switched to another surveillance screen. He was thrown from behind by Edmund, crushed his heart and died, and then Qiu Ye appeared in the screen.

"Could you go a little further forward? Before Julie entered the detention room." Akiba said.

The monitor glanced at the second lieutenant, the second lieutenant nodded, and the monitor rewound the corridor video to the beginning.

Julie appeared from the end of the corridor with food, keeping her head down, not daring to look more, but before entering the detention room, she raised her head and glanced at the probe.

With just this one glance, Qiu Ye took three steps back in shock.

Although it was a woman this time, even though she only had one look in her eyes, Qiuye was absolutely sure that it was Dylan!

The feeling of being stabbed in the depths of the soul, there is no other person except Dylan!

He was a senior before, but this time he is a handyman of the Academy of Sciences. He can actually possess a human body!

Qiu Ye twisted her face, pushed the monitor away, and turned on the video of the detention room to rewatch.

"Hey, what are you doing?" the monitor muttered, but since he was a young researcher brought in by the dean, he couldn't say much.

Although "Julie" never looked at the probe from the beginning to the end, Qiuye could feel that Dylan was right.

Going back and watching again, this time he carefully observed Edmund's movements. When Edmund was alone, he sat motionless in the cage, but when "Julie" entered the door of the detention room, Edmund suddenly It jumped up, looked very excited, and kept flicking its tail.

But when the glass cover opened, his movements paused for a moment, and the next moment he got out of the cage, he fell into the killer.

Qiuye's brain was spinning rapidly, and she rewound the video of the detention room all the way back to the time when the food was delivered the night before.

It was still Julie, no different at first glance, but Edmund showed no sign of excitement or any other emotion from the time Julie entered until the moment he put away the food and left.

Because Edmund knew that it was Dylan who came in today!Because the magic dragon people communicate not with their mouths, but with their mental strength, Qiuye immediately understood this truth.

He hastily called up Edmund's physiological data to check.

When Dylan entered the door, Edmund's brain wave activity frequency suddenly rushed to a peak.

They are talking!It must be so!

At that time Dylan must have opened the cage and ordered Edmund to kill the real Julie before escaping.

So why did Edmund die?

Qiu Ye quickly adjusted the video to the time when the soldiers captured Edmund.

The two monitors and the second lieutenant looked at each other in embarrassment, a little helpless for Qiuye's self-talk, but he didn't do anything bad, so he could only let him do it and watch the video at his pace.

Two soldiers carried Edmund into the holding room, a researcher shook his hand and opened the glass cover, and the soldier threw Edmund in, who was still in a coma.

The moment the glass cover closed, Edmund woke up.This is unreasonable, as usual, the duration of the drug effect is still long.

The researcher yelled and hid behind, and the soldiers put on a fighting stance to prevent Edmund from making any surprising moves.

But Edmund only roared a few times, and suddenly fell to the ground and twitched a few times, his heart stopped beating.After a few minutes, the body began to melt.

Qiuye looked at it several times, but he couldn't find anything unusual about anyone, but he knew that Dylan must be hiding in a corner and ordered Edmund to commit suicide.

After helping Edmund escape from the cage, he did not leave, and has been wandering in the Academy of Sciences.

If he wanted to save Edmund, why did he ask him to kill himself?Akiba frowned in thought.

No, he didn't want to save Edmund. There were so many soldiers guarding the Academy of Sciences, even if Edmund was released from the cage, he couldn't escape!So what is his purpose?

A terrifying thought appeared in his mind, and the golden dragon eyes reflected in Edmund's eyes came to his eyes again.

it's me!Dylan's goal is me!

The reason for this terrible change was Dylan's intentional guidance. He was using Edmund to communicate with himself, causing a certain resonance in the spiritual world, and then luring himself into a monster!

The gaze I felt at that time was him!

When he conjures longan, he must be hiding somewhere and sniggering!

Qiu Ye's heart was cold, and her face was frosty white.I am in the light, he is in the dark, everything is under the control of a powerful opponent.

Had Edmund's capture been part of his plan?

Qiu Ye almost went limp, fear gripped his heart tightly, and a huge conspiracy enveloped him.Who is this Dylan?The identity is strange, haunted.Most importantly: what does he want?

At this time, Zhu Xifeng took his assistant into the monitoring room like the wind. He was in his office on the top floor when the accident happened. monitoring room.

"Dean." The monitor stood up, and the second lieutenant saluted him.

Zhu Xifeng put his hands in his pockets and hummed, glanced lightly at several screens that were playing videos: "Pack up these videos for me." Then he turned to the second lieutenant, "Second lieutenant, thank you for your hard work, please investigate the cause of the accident." Finally Then he said to the assistant, "You arrange to give everyone a vacation. If something happens, everyone will be very nervous. Don't affect work."

Like a sharp knife cut through the mess, he quickly dealt with the matter, just like his usual vigorous and resolute style of doing things.

Finally, Zhu Xifeng glanced at Qiu Ye who was sitting beside him: "Probationary personnel can take a few more days off."

Qiu Ye, a member of the probationary period, glanced at Zhu Xifeng in a daze, unable to recover.

-

The holiday notice of the Academy of Sciences came out that afternoon, and everyone went home one after another because they had no intention of working.

The sun was in the middle of the sky, and the spring day was warm and warm. The golden sun shone on the autumn leaves, as if glowing with golden light. After walking against the wind for a while, his mood improved a little.

But he would rub his eyes from time to time, as if he was afraid of turning into longan again, and it would take a long time for him to recover from this psychological shadow.

Back at school, he wandered the campus alone.The fountain on the beautiful Anthem Square is constantly gushing, the retro imitation red brick building has a strong academic flavor, and the training room with simple and lean lines is full of military atmosphere.A few fighter students walked past him with a smile on their face; on the lawn in the distance, a few combat students were fighting; under the ginkgo tree, students from the Alchemy Department and the Metallurgy Department were reading.

This scene is beautiful and peaceful. He likes this school. Every big tree and every floor tile can make his heart feel peaceful. More importantly, his fathers also studied in this school. As long as he thought of this for the first time, his heart was filled with strength.

The depressed heart is gradually stretched, and the gloom is dispelled.No matter what Dylan wants to do, there is one thing that is not wrong, as long as he becomes stronger, so strong that he is fearless, then any plots and tricks the enemy wants to use will be in vain.

As he walked, Qiuye noticed a group of people gathered around the bulletin board in front of the teaching building. Although the school net can also check the bulletin, everyone is still keen to get together to discuss the latest news, so whenever there is any event, the people around the bulletin board Always overcrowded.

Was there another announcement?Qiu Ye squeezed into the crowd curiously.

It turned out that the school announced the schedule of Independence Day activities. In order to commemorate Emperor Eli's army accidentally breaking into the interstellar Cape of Good Hope with chaotic magnetic fields and finally successfully escaped, the theme of the upcoming Independence Day competition is "Interstellar Labyrinth".Roughly, a labyrinth is created in a certain star field, and a team of two has both treasure hunting tasks and level-breaking tasks, combining fun and competition.

The students were all in high spirits, discussing such consistent topics as who they wanted to form a team with, who was most likely to win, and who they wanted to watch the most.

After reading the competition rules, Qiu Ye became interested and planned to contact Feng Qi.

With a flick of his eyes, he saw General Xie standing not far away, talking and laughing with one of his friends.

Since General Xie's father was killed in battle, he has had a lot fewer followers, or to be precise, there are no followers who are fake and powerful. Now all the people who associate with him are true friends, basically all the heirs of the upstarts of the empire.

Sensing Qiu Ye's gaze, General Xie looked over, his eyes met, General Xie smiled gently.

In the past memory, Xie Jiang never smiled at himself like this, he always looked at him lukewarm, keeping a certain distance.Unexpectedly, Qiuye smiled and nodded.

Back in the dormitory, Qiu Ye looked through the medicine reserve, because she was busy with other things recently, the time for refining medicine was compressed to the extreme, and the medicine reserve was almost exhausted.Taking advantage of the Academy of Sciences holiday and before the Independence Day event, it's time to refine some medicines and prepare them.

After counting the herbal medicine reserves again, Qiuye took out the [-]D web terminal and planned to purchase some intermediate-level conventional herbal medicines.

After connecting to the Internet, Qiuye glanced habitually at the friends column, but Wang Shuai was not online.

This Wannian Internet worm was actually not online, and Qiu Ye unexpectedly sent a message: "Will you fall in love with a monster?"

Open the network coordinate list, put the coordinates of the purchased herbal medicine store on it, and Qiuye is going to visit each house.

Just after visiting the second store, Wang Shuai went online.

After a while, he returned the message, and first sent a picture, which was a little furry monster with big ears, big eyes, and two cute canine teeth: "Is this the monster you're talking about?"

"Is it still like this?" Followed another picture, a villain like a potato, with only one eye, ugly and weird.

Qiu Ye replied with a smile: "It's so ugly."

"You asked me, I'm innocent." Wang Shuai replied, "What are you doing? Coordinates."

Qiu Ye reported the coordinates, and Wang Shuai immediately appeared by his side.

"Buying herbs, I'm going to refine some medicines, and there's a new activity in school soon. There's treasure chest hunting! I love this kind of activity the most!"

The event organizing team will put many treasure boxes in the maze for students to find, and all the treasures found can be taken back.Although most of the students in the school are rich and powerful, they are still very interested in finding treasures, which sounds interesting, and the treasure chests are basically filled with precious raw materials, so no one will think too little.

Wang Shuai smiled at him without speaking.

Qiu Ye was embarrassed by his smile: "Is it that funny?"

"It's just funny, so the meaning of this event to you is to find treasure chests?"

"Yes, how exciting! Maybe I can find diamonds too! Diamonds are so shiny, they look like stars plucked from the sky. The stars in the sky can't be plucked. Diamonds are worth more than gold..."

Qiu Ye began to sing while talking, and Wang Shuai laughed from ear to ear.

-

In the Academy of Sciences, except for a few staff on duty, most people left, but Zhu Xifeng was still there.

A low-level magic dragon is far from enough to make him have a sense of fear. With his strength, it is no problem to deal with a mere low-level magic dragon.

Zhu Xifeng took off his gloves, and the transformation circle made of flesh and blood on the back of his hand was bleeding a little again. He took out the ointment from the drawer and wiped it carefully, a faint fragrance filled his nose.

This ointment was specially prepared by him, which can keep the wound open and stop bleeding.

He turned on the surveillance video and started playing, he had to understand clearly what happened in the Academy of Sciences.

After the videos were played one by one, he suddenly focused and played back the video for a few seconds, frame by frame at a very slow speed.

On the screen, Qiuye and Edmund were in a confrontation, and Zhu Xifeng's eyes narrowed slightly.
