Starlight shone through the gaps between the leaves. The night wind blew through the forest, and the leaves rustled. The atmosphere between Jian Wen, Chris, and the two newcomers was heavy.
Lu Ze and Lin Ling were a few kilometers away, observing in the dark.
After all, they had only seen this scene. Whether or not these two people who had appeared like ghosts were actually from the Eternal Life Palace was something they did not know.
Also, they didn't know what kind of relationship Jian Wen and Chris had with these two people.
Therefore, they decided to observe the situation first before making a decision.
When Jian Wen and Chris saw the two people, they immediately showed an anxious expression. They opened their mouths, but before they could say anything, the man with a gentle temperament smiled and spoke first.
His voice was gentle as if he was talking to an old friend. "Dr. Jian, Dr. Chris, half of the Ena System's defense force has left. The rest will depend on your performance."
Jian Wen and Chris heard this, and their bodies stiffened. Their expressions changed. Jian Wen gritted his teeth and looked at the two. "What is your purpose for doing this? Even if there is a problem at the northern border, the Blade Demons will benefit. What benefit does the Eternal Life Palace get from doing this? "
The bearded man heard Jian Wen's words and frowned impatiently. He said with a hoarse voice, "You asked this question last time. You don't need to care about why we are doing this. You just need to do what you should do."
Then, he took a deep look at Jian Wen and Chris. His black eyes looked cold and deep in the night.
Then, he sneered. "It's the critical time. I'll remind you one last time. Don't play any tricks. We've been monitoring you. Just like just now, the two people you met were Lu Ze and Lin Ling, right? You made the right choice. "
As soon as the bearded man finished speaking, Jian Wen and Chris's expressions turned ugly. The atmosphere fell into silence.
Then, the gentleman smiled again. "Professor Jian Wen, Professor Chris, don't worry. After this is done, no one will know what you've done. Your family will be fine too. I hope you understand your position."
Then, he smiled at Chris. "Dr. Chris, your daughter is very pretty."
Chris's face turned green when he heard this. He roared, "Son of a bitch! If you dare to touch a strand of hair on my daughter, I'll fight you to the death! "
The man still had a smile on his face. "Don't worry, Dr. Chris. Our purpose is just to let you bring the things into the Ena System. As long as you cooperate, your family will be fine. I promise I won't hurt your family."
Then, he smiled at Jian Wen. "Professor Jian Wen is the same."
Jian Wen and Chris's faces turned green. They were trembling in anger, but there was nothing they could do.
The bearded man looked at their ashen faces and laughed mischievously.
After a moment of silence, Jian Wen said, "We need to confirm our family's family first.
"No problem."
The man smiled and projected four rooms. There were four people in the room. Two middle-aged women, a beautiful young woman, and a young man who looked a bit like Jian Wen.
Although the four of them were imprisoned in the room, they didn't seem to be tortured. They just looked a bit scared.
Seeing that their relatives were fine, Jian Wen and Chris also felt relieved. Their faces also looked better.
"Professor Jian Wen, Professor Chris, your family's safety has been confirmed. Next, it's time to get down to business. Half of the guards in Ena System have been transferred away, and the reinforcements will take more than two days to arrive. Take the things in during this time, and the mission will be considered complete. How about it?" The gentle man smiled. "Professor Jian Wen, Professor Chris, your family's safety has been confirmed. It's not hard, right? "
As he spoke, he took out a metal box. The box was in the shape of a cube that was more than 30 centimeters long. It was completely black and deep.
It should be made of a precious metal.
The man handed the metal box over. Jian Wen and Chris looked at it in silence. They didn't reach out to take it immediately.
They knew that if they really took the box and brought it into the Ena System, they would be sinners.
But if they didn't, what about their family?
Using billions of strangers' lives in exchange for their family's life. Perhaps they wouldn't understand without experiencing it. Just taking the box was so difficult.
They didn't even have the courage to move their fingers.
This was a debt that involved the lives of billions of people.
They also knew that even if they completed the mission, their family's safety still depended on the Eternal Life Palace.
But they could only choose to gamble.
People were always like this. When they were in despair, they would grab onto anything that could save their lives.
Seeing that no one was willing to take over, the gentleman still had a gentle smile on his face. He opened his mouth and said, "Professor Jian Wen, Professor Chris, the choice is in your hands. Is it hard to choose between the life of a relative or the life of a stranger?"
Hearing the man's words, Jian Wen and Chris, who were originally stiff, trembled. Then, Jian Wen gritted his teeth and took the black metal box from the man.
Seeing this, the man smiled with satisfaction. "Dr. Jian Wen, you're very courageous."
The bearded man on the side had his hands crossed in front of his chest. At this moment, he looked at this scene with a playful expression.
This kind of thing that could make someone show a desperate expression was really f * cking interesting …
Seeing Jian Wen take the box, the man reminded him with a smile. "Although you've already tried it once, this one is more powerful. Dr. Jian Wen, Dr. Chris, good luck."
Jian Wen and Chris heard this, and their faces turned even uglier.
The two remained silent.
They didn't have anything to say.
The gentle-looking man didn't care about their reactions. Their mission was completed. Now, it was time to wait for the harvest.
Lu Ze and Lin Ling, who had been observing from afar, quietly watched the entire process.
Lu Ze was dazed. Why was it so dramatic?
It seemed that these two people were really from the Eternal Life Palace.
What was in the box?
A bomb?
A bomb that could blow up a star system wasn't something the human race could take out, right?
Even if they were related to the Blade Demons, the Blade Demons shouldn't be able to take out such a bomb.
Plus …
Lu Ze looked at the small black box. There was also a strange space fluctuation on it. It was similar to the space fluctuation on Dr. Jian Wen and Dr. Chris.
Lu Ze touched his chin. He felt that this matter wasn't simple.
On the other side, Lin Ling's face turned green. She gritted her teeth as the chi in her body surged. If it wasn't for Lu Ze suppressing her, she would've been exposed.
Lu Ze looked at Lin Ling's cold face and pressed down on her shoulder. "Lin Ling, calm down."
Lin Ling took a deep breath and said, "These people from the Eternal Life Palace really deserve to die!"
Lu Ze was frozen by the chill in her voice.
Hmm … it's better not to make her angry in the future.
Then, Lin Ling continued, "What should I do? I want to kill. "
Lu Ze: "…"
Oh my, this guy is really going to go crazy. It seems that the people from the Eternal Life Palace really pissed him off.
Lu Ze was silent for a bit before saying, "The thing in the box is a bit strange. It might be a bomb or something. Dr. Jian Wen and Dr. Chris might've been forced, but it seems that they still want to blow up the Ena System. Go follow them. If they want to leave, stop them."
Lin Ling heard this and was slightly dazed. Then, she said, "But …"
Lu Ze patted her shoulder and interrupted her. He smiled and said, "I'll follow them and see if I can find their nest. It's better to catch them all in one go."
"Mhm … save people while you're at it."
Lin Ling frowned. "But the Eternal Life Palace has four palace lords now. It's said that their cultivation level is at level five of the mortal evolution state. I want to go with you. I can help you stall one."
The six palace lords from the previous generation were all dead after leaving the Milky Way with the Lord of Eternal Life. This generation's palace lords were much weaker. They were only at level five of the mortal evolution state.
Lin Ling's combat power was only at the initial stage of the mortal evolution state, but with her exclusive armor and spirit eye god art, she was confident that she could stall for a few minutes.
Lu Ze rolled his eyes. "If you follow, what about Jian Wen and Chris? Let them blow up the Ena System? "
Lin Ling said, "Then, when you find the nest, you must contact the defense army first!"
She didn't trust Lu Ze at all.
Lu Ze smiled. "I know. Don't worry, I'm very strong when it comes to hiding!"
What a joke! This guy was looking down on his Lu "jungler" Ze "unkillable" ability!
He couldn't tolerate this!
Moreover, Lin Ling probably didn't know his current combat power. Even without the armor, he had a level four mortal evolution state combat power. With the exclusive armor, his combat power shouldn't be weaker than the palace lords.
At least, those palace lords wouldn't be able to keep him here.
While Lu Ze and Lin Ling were discussing, the scholarly man and the bearded man had already separated from Jian Wen and Chris.
Jian Wen and Chris didn't put the metal box in their storage ring. Instead, they flew toward Xingzhan City.
Meanwhile, the scholarly man and the bearded man got up and flew in another direction.
