Dereliction of duty · 90 years in the new calendar

Xus: Flo, are you free?

I want you to help move something.

Flo looked at the things in his hands, and he had some spare time, so he answered yes and asked what kind of objects it was.

What needs to be moved is a pile of boxes, which is a lot without packing.Inside are some items used for research, but the details are not disclosed because of confidentiality.

Sui: Is it enough for two people?

Xus: I don't mind a lot of people...you can come together if you want.

Xus did what he said, and immediately walked somewhere with the road.

He wasn't surprised by Sui's self-invitation, but in fact he knew that Flo alone was enough.

The structure of the Demon King's Palace is very large. It is hard to imagine that in the initial stage of the year, it could only be regarded as a villa at most.

According to the proportion of the area, the number of people working here is not much.A few years ago, he and Zolf dismissed a lot of people, and now there are only two people in a hundred steps.

Across the long corridor, passing many rooms that were once used as staff rooms and are now unused, it was a long way before we arrived at the place where we needed to pick up the boxes.

Xus scratched a few times with the tip of his left finger in front of a door.

A bright but not dazzling small light overflowed from the fingertips and spread along the groove carved on the door long ago.After the pattern spreads all over, the door will slowly open by itself.

The thick dust that immediately rushed into the nostrils caused the three of them to choke a few times at the same time.

Sui: There are many here, cough, how long has it been since it was cleaned? Master Xus.

I always thought that every room in the Demon Lord's Palace was as tidy as a clerical office.

Flo: Mr. Sui!

Xus: There will always be times when I don't want to clean, and I'm not such a diligent person.

Many places have been idle for a long time, and they will be demolished one after another after a while.

It's to pack these things that I call Flo over.

Xus swung his hands empty-handed, and after a few strokes, he weaved a net with spiritual power.The net has a certain degree of adsorption, and quickly restores the air inside to a breathable appearance.

The net then flew up to the ceiling, which in turn acted as a light.

As he said in advance, the dark room is full of boxes, and it is easy to feel that it is infinitely deep at a glance.

Sui: It looks quite small...so heavy!

Xus: It's glass inside, be careful.

Flo lifted the case obediently and without complaint.The boxes are about the size of household trash cans and square in shape.He weighed them, each weighing about twenty kilograms.He can take three or four at a time as long as he doesn't fall.

Xus: Flo is much more reliable than Sui.

The outer stairs go up to the third floor, the room on the right.

Thank you.

Sui: The most "reliable" boss is the boss who can only order and doesn't do the work himself.

...how did Flo go so fast?

Compared with Flo, who can still walk at a normal pace while holding an [-]-kilogram weight, the "two" boxes Sui is holding are much weaker.

Xus wrote even more miserable, moving one would have to walk more slowly.

Xus: No way, my strength is really weak.

It feels good to be honest.

It can't be saved, and I didn't want to.

Xus sighed helplessly, and looked at the piles of objects next to him.He squinted his eyes, concentrated his attention a little, and used some kind of magic to make two vertical rows of boxes float in the air to follow.

Including one in his own hand, the efficiency of handling is comparable to three Flo.

Sui: ...Hello, Master Xus.

"You" can't do it by yourself?

Xus: Multiple people can be much faster, the problem of quantity is here.

Sui: Well, since it's just the two of us now...

What's in those boxes?It is impossible for pure glass products to be so heavy, right?

Xus: Even though I said it was classified, you still have to ask?

Sui's expression is determined, and he is determined to ask to the end.So Xus calculated the pros and cons in his mind, and if Sui can promise not to disclose it to the outside world and abide by it, then it's okay to tell him.

Xus: Research data.

Sui: You did.

Xus: Do you want to open it and have a look?

As he said that, he squatted down, put the one in his hand on the ground, and skillfully scratched the tape on the surface with his nails.

The neatly arranged glass bottles immediately came into view.The bottle is full of liquid, blood red.

Xus: You're probably more familiar with it than I am.

——I will send these materials to Roat later.

Sui almost jumped at the name.Horror was written all over his face, it could be seen that his first reaction was to throw away the thing in his hand, and it took him a lot of patience to stop this extremely destructive action.

Sui: That is to say!

this is! ...really... blood?

Xus: Yeah.

Ah, Flo seems to be coming.

Adjust your expression before meeting him.

——Do you need me to stop you?

After finishing speaking, Xus sealed the tape as if nothing had happened.

Sui: No, no need.ahem.

Do you know Roat?

Xus: The friendship since last month is not considered familiar.

When "last month" was mentioned, Sui should already know what he meant.After a while of silence, his expression suddenly lit up, his face was full of brilliance, and he spoke to the back of Xus:

Sui: So fast, aren't you tired?

Flo: ...not bad.

No, very heavy.I also thought, maybe it's ok to take more than one at a time.

Sui: You can't tell from the surface that you are so strong.

Flo: ... Mr. Sui.

Don't you, know why, do you?

Sui shut up.

Flo was of course at a loss.

Xus casually gave a few words of comfort, while he silently controlled a pile of boxes and moved towards the destination.
