The empty circular space, the cold metal walls and floors, and the arched metal dome, Ling Xiao was not claustrophobic, but when he was suddenly trapped in this space, he suddenly became nervous, and he shouted loudly: "Aunt Seven, don't be joking, let me out!" ”

No one answered, and the circular space was eerily quiet.

A circular hatch in the opposite wall suddenly opened, and four soldiers in stab-proof suits and masks walked in. They still held riot shields and rubber batons in their hands, and after entering the circular space, they scattered and walked over in unison.

Ling Xiao was stunned for a moment, then showed a smile, "Hello." ”

The four soldiers did not say a word, but raised the riot shield in their hands, and at the same time raised the rubber baton in their hands, and pressed towards Ling Xiao step by step.

Ling Xiao suddenly became nervous, "What do you want to do?" I didn't break in, I came in with Aunt Seven. As he spoke, he subconsciously glanced back, but there was no sign of the round hatch opening, let alone Chen Xiaoqi appearing to help him explain.

Call! A soldier suddenly raised a rubber baton and smashed it into Ling Xiao's head.

Ling Xiao hurriedly dodged sideways.

The big man on the other side suddenly pushed the riot shield over flat, cutting off Ling Xiao's retreat.

The other three rushed up, brandishing rubber batons and slashing at Ling Xiao's body.

There was nowhere to retreat, and Ling Xiao was hit with two batons in the blink of an eye. Although he has internal strength to protect his body, these fighters are all well-trained professional fighters, with great strength and ruthlessness, so he is also hot and painful to beat. His heart suddenly fired, and he knocked the warrior on the left side back a step, and then escaped from the encirclement against the wall.

The four warriors again raised their shields and surrounded him.

"Chen Xiaoqi!" Ling Xiao yelled loudly, "What's going on? Yes? What's going on! ”

Still no one answered, and the four warriors moved a few steps to surround him again.

Ling Xiao clenched his fists, and the internal force quickly converged on his fists.

However, just as he was about to put down the four professional fighters, he suddenly calmed down, and secretly said in his heart: "Why didn't Aunt Seven show up to explain?" She couldn't have harmed me, but she had let these four warriors attack me...... It's a temptation! ”

Where there is temptation, there is a purpose for temptation.

"Could it be that someone wants to know my strength?" This thought suddenly flashed through Ling Xiao's heart.

There are times when showing strength can bring benefits, but there are times when showing strength can lead to trouble.

Glasin Biotechnology is a vivid example, because they know that he holds the secret of the afterlife pill, so they will haunt him and use all kinds of despicable means to get his secret recipe and pharmaceutical technology. In the same way, if he shows amazing strength, who can guarantee that someone behind Aunt Seven does not have the same thoughts and purposes as Glasin Biotechnology?

Although I don't know who is behind Chen Xiaoqi, and I don't know the other party's purpose of testing him like this, one thing is for sure - hiding strength is definitely a wise choice!

As soon as he thought of this, the internal force that had gathered on Ling Xiao's fists suddenly withdrew, and his expression turned calm to fear.

The four warriors rushed up, pushed their shields, and then swung their rubber batons and slammed them at Ling Xiao's body. Ling Xiao pushed a few times and kicked the shield with his foot, but he was knocked to the ground before he could carry it a few times.

The four fighters did not stop, and continued to whip Ling Xiao with rubber batons.

Ling Xiao held his head in both hands and curled up his body to protect the vital parts of his body.

Bang bang bang!

Bang bang bang......

The beating lasted a full five minutes. The four warriors were really ruthless, and every time they used all their strength to fight, without the slightest mercy. By the time they stopped, Ling Xiao had already been beaten by them and was covered in injuries.

The four warriors left Ling Xiao and withdrew through the circular hatch.

The circular hatch then closed, and Ling Xiao was the only one left in the entire circular space, and it was terrifyingly quiet.

Ling Xiao, who was curled up on the ground, struggled to get up from the ground, but before he could stand up straight, he fell to the ground again. Half of his cheeks were swollen and the corners of his mouth were bloodshot. The body is also blue and purple, and it is miserable.

This time it's not a pretending injury, it's a real injury.

In the process of being beaten just now, he didn't even use his internal force to protect his body, what he wanted was the effect of the real injury now!

After falling, Ling Xiao lay on the ground and muttered, scolding and complaining.

Several metal pipes suddenly erupted from overhead, and then sprayed vapor-like gases into the circular space. As soon as Ling Xiao took a sip, his brain became drowsy.

"Anesthetic gas! What other tricks does the other party want to play? Damn it! Ling Xiao really cursed in his heart, but he didn't want to be anesthetized and at the mercy of others, even if he hid his strength, he also had his own safe bottom line. He then held his breath and secretly ran the turtle breath mental method on the "Yellow Emperor's Outer Canon", so that the heartbeat slowed down to the lowest Cheng dù, and the demand for oxygen also dropped to the lowest Cheng dù. At the same time, he closed his eyes, leaving only a tiny slit that was imperceptible.

A minute later, the circular metal tube was retracted, and the anesthetic gas in the circular space was withdrawn and replaced with fresh breath.

Ling Xiao continued to maintain his turtle breath state.

The two circular hatches in the circular space opened at the same time, and Chen Xiaoqi walked in from the circular hatch when he came. She slowly walked to Ling Xiao's side and kicked Ling Xiao's ass with her toes.

Ling Xiao didn't move, but secretly scolded in his heart: "You stinky three-eight, I trust you so much, but you treat me like this!" ”

Footsteps sounded, and a burly old man walked in through the door.

This old man is about sixty years old, with a Chinese face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, a height of at least one meter nine, and the width of his body is also considerable, giving people a feeling of iron tower. As soon as he entered, there was an invisible pressure in the circular space.

Chen Xiaoqi snapped upright, "Good chief!" ”

"Chief?" Ling Xiao's heart moved, and he said secretly: "Sure enough, someone is secretly masterminding." ”

The old man stood beside Ling Xiao, squatted down, reached out and touched Ling Xiao's carotid artery, and only after a few seconds did he withdraw his hand and say, "I'm faint." After a pause, he said again: "Xiao Qi, what are you kidding, this is what you call a genius?" ”

"Boss, I'm ......" Chen Xiaoqi smiled bitterly, "Maybe I overestimated him, but his medical skills are really powerful." ”

"I know you lack a partner, but you can't be so unsophisticated, right? We want warriors, not doctors. You can dispel this idea for the time being, the only people who can walk in here are warriors like you and Yufeng, and this doctor named Ling Xiao is not qualified to be your partner. So be it, take him out of here. Then you go to the east, Yufeng and Zami need your help, and the form over there is grim. The old man said lightly.

"Yes, Chief!" Chen Xiaoqi was talking.

Without saying a word, the old man turned and entered the round hatch. The hatch closed, and his majestic back vanished from view.

Chen Xiaoqi squatted beside Ling Xiao, reached out and touched Ling Xiao's carotid artery, then patted Ling Xiao's cheek, and said dissatisfiedly: "You guy is really unpredictable, when you were in the United States, your appearance was okay, but when you moved seriously, you were so bad, I was embarrassed in front of the boss." ”

Ling Xiao's heart was also pondering, "Who is that old man?" When Chen Xiaoqi met and saw him off, he was called the chief, and the other party's origin was definitely not small. However, Chen Xiaoqi calls him boss when he speaks normally, which shows that Chen Xiaoqi's relationship with him is not a simple relationship between superiors and subordinates, and there must be a somewhat unusual relationship. ”

"Forget it, it seems that you are not blessed to be my partner." Chen Xiaoqi said to himself, then grabbed Ling Xiao's arm and dragged Ling Xiao up from the ground, then wrapped his arms around Ling Xiao's waist, gently and skillfully sent Ling Xiao to her shoulder, and carried it out of the circular hatch she walked into.

Ling Xiao was still pondering in her heart, "It turns out that this is the reason for testing me, she wants me to be her partner." If I had just defeated those four professional fighters, I'm afraid there would be some tests ahead, right? If I show my strong strength, I will really invite trouble. ”

Understanding this reason, Ling Xiao was less angry about what had just happened. Chen Xiaoqi has no malice after all, not to mention that when she was in the United States, she helped him too much.

Returning the same way, Chen Xiaoqi carried Ling Xiao to a warehouse next door.

This warehouse is a real warehouse, stacked with a lot of supermarket goods.

Entering an office in the warehouse, Chen Xiaoqi put Ling Xiao on the sofa.

Ling Xiao lay motionless on the sofa, as a doctor, he must know how long the anesthetic effect would last, if he "woke up" too early, Chen Xiaoqi would definitely find a flaw.

Chen Xiaoqi sat quietly next to Ling Xiao, thinking about something.

Ling Xiao observed her side face through the gap between her eyelashes. Soon he saw that there was a faint color difference mark on the part of Chen Xiaoqi's ear that touched his cheek. However, its chromatic aberration was almost negligible, and he would not have been able to detect it if he hadn't been attentive and so close.

This discovery made Ling Xiao come to a conclusion - Chen Xiaoqi in front of him was still not his true face.

What does she really look like?

Ling Xiao's heart was full of imagination.

"Hey, if he hadn't died in battle, we'd probably get married, and the child would be your age, right?" Chen Xiaoqishen babbled out a sentence.

This sentence startled Ling Xiao, "The child is my age, so she is at least forty years old, my God, she looks only twenty-seven or eighteen in front of her, and her makeup skills are amazing!" ”

After sitting quietly for a while, Chen Xiaoqi took out a palm-sized notebook and put it in Ling Xiao's pocket, then got up, "Although you have not become my partner, I am still willing to teach you my makeup skills." A strange smile appeared on her face, "You are somewhat similar to him, and when I see you, I can't help but think of you as the son I had with him, which can be regarded as a kind of fate." My makeup technique is an evolution of the ancient transfiguration technique, and I hope you can learn it and pass it on to my grandchildren or granddaughters...... Well, take care. ”

When they met for the first time, Ling Xiao had a feeling of seeing her mother.

Now, she also has a mother-son friendship with Ling Xiao as if she were her own.

This is really a kind of fate.

Chen Xiaoqi turned around and left the office.

Seeing her back go away, Ling Xiao almost couldn't help but get up and stop her, but he couldn't do it in the end.
