Ji Zihe and Yang Lingting stood side by side, and when Ji Zihe saw the situation outside, his brows became tighter and tighter.

"Here we are." The two stepped out of the pillar of clouds.

"Ji Zihe, since you want me to arrange a position for you to give full play to your talents, then you should do something about this and 'severed finger'." Yang Lingting said.

"What are you doing here?" Ji Zihe said.

Looking at the sixth floor, which is like a research room, the people inside are wearing special costumes and are extremely busy conducting research.

"It's not the point of what to do." Yang Lingting looked at Ji Zihe and said, "Moreover, isn't this your purpose?" ”

"I don't understand what Captain Yang means." Ji Zihe said.

"Hmph, Ji Zihe, you and I are both smart people." Yang Lingting said: "What is the purpose of your coming here, to be honest, I can probably guess." ”

"If Captain Yang doesn't believe me, then you can throw me out." Ji Zihe said: "However, since I have seen the situation here, I think that if you don't believe me, even if you kill me here, no one will object." ”

Looking at each other again, Ji Zihe knew that this time he couldn't dodge for half a minute no matter what, if he dodged like last time, he was afraid that the next thing would be a corpse.

The pressure of the high-level ability plus the power of the superior emanated from Yang Lingting's body at the same time, constantly oppressing Ji Zihe.

At this time, Ji Zihe was already crying bitterly in his heart, and the sweat kept flowing down, but his eyes never dodged.

After a long time, Ji Zihe began to feel that his vision was a little blurry. At this point, the pressure is gone. Yang Lingting patted Ji Zihe's shoulder and smiled very satisfied.

Ji Zihe breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and the tight thread in his heart also relaxed, and began to wipe the sweat on his forehead.

"You're an enemy?"

Yang Lingting suddenly turned around at this time and shouted loudly at Ji Zihe.

Ji Zihe was shouted by this, and his head was shocked.

"No... No. Then Ji Zihe said as if he had just woken up, shaking his head.

And Yang Lingting, who watched Ji Zihe's facial expression change, said with a smile at this time: "I don't think you are an enemy either, let's go." ”

"What do you think of the Empire?" Yang Lingting asked Ji Zihe as he walked.

"To be honest, I don't know." Ji Zihe said: "A few days ago, I only lived in a very closed city for more than ten years. And the 'Dingyuan' mechanism does not exist in the Heavenly City. ”

"What would you do if your parents were in a deadly crisis and you had to kill some of your family members in order to save your parents?" Yang Lingting asked sharply.

Ji Zihe was a little confused by this question.

"Then you don't need to ask, naturally you have to do it. Even if I did it, I was not understood, even if I was resented. But if you hesitate, you may not be able to protect any of them at that time. ”

Ji Zihe replied with some hesitation. Ji Zihe hadn't thought about this problem, and Ji Zihe didn't think that he would encounter such a situation.

"Hahahaha, that's a good point. Ji Zihe, you are really getting more and more appetizing for me. Yang Lingting's eyes were full of appreciation.

"Uh."

Yang Lingting's family, as the head of the top ten families in the empire, has been pampered since he was a child and has not disobeyed him, but in this environment, instead of making Yang Lingting's character arrogant and obedient, it has made Yang Lingting, who is constantly thinking, more and more clearly aware of himself.

And Ji Zihe, as a native of the earth, has an open and equal mind, and he has never lowered his voice in front of Yang Lingting, which is indeed new to Yang Lingting.

The person who disobeyed him three times and twice was not only afraid, but also had words, which made Yang Lingting feel fresh and at the same time, he also had a feeling of friend.

And Ji Zihe's straightforward answer now is very in line with Yang Lingting's beliefs, and this makes Yang Lingting feel like he has met a soulmate.

The idea that hierarchy determines status, after Qin Zu put shackles on this group of beasts, has evolved from generation to generation, and is slowly fading.

It has formed that when Ji Zihe and Yang Lingting are three levels apart, they can still have such a conversation. If it was placed before Qin Zu, this would be absolutely impossible.

Looking at the busy people below, Ji Zihe couldn't help but ask, "What are they doing?" ”

"Naturally, they're doing research on the 'Red Ghost' project." Yang Lingting returned to the road.

"Project Red Ghost, what's that?" Ji Zihe asked.

"The so-called 'Red Ghost' plan is far from involving another continent and another empire. You can simply understand it as a plan to improve the combat capabilities of mankind. Yang Lingting said, "Since Qin Zu, human beings have lost the ability to use the elements to strengthen their bodies. And the 'Red Ghost' plan is to use another means to restore this ability of human beings. ”

"Can this kind of thing be done?" Ji Zihe asked.

"That's why we do research." Yang Lingting said: "And this kind of research is carried out because something is approaching the empire. ”

"What's that?" Ji Zihe asked.

"Dead beasts." Yang Lingting said: "The so-called dead beast is the elemental beast that has died, and for some reason, it has stood up again. ”

"Then why don't the people of our empire go to support?" Ji Zihe asked curiously: "Can this kind of thing be solved with this kind of plan?" ”

"If you can go, you naturally have to go over, and eliminating the risk outside the house is the best choice, but no." Yang Lingting said: "I don't know what the reason is, high-level ability people can't reach another empire, although low-level ability people can pass, but when they go over, they are just sent to death in vain." ”

"And the research we are doing is to use what makes the dead beasts stand up again to strengthen humanity itself, so that when disaster strikes, the empire will have more combat power to deal with it." Yang Lingting said.

"'Red Ghost'?" Ji Zihe asked.

"That's right, once the 'Red Ghost' plan is successful, low-level abilities will have some life-saving capital when they fight against the Death Beast. Not only that, but it also increases the overall life expectancy of humans. Yang Lingting said: "However, it is not so easy. ”

"How was that studied?" Ji Zihe asked.

"The experiment of living people directly transforms living people into 'ghost people'." Yang Lingting said.

"It's inhumane. How many people have to die here? Ji Zihe said subconsciously.

"Humanity? Joke. Yang Lingting said: "When the Death Beast invades the Empire, the entire Empire will suffer a heavy blow, at that time, you go and talk to the Death Beast about humanity." ”

"So, you use the living to transform into a 'ghost man'. Sacrificing a few to save more? Ji Zihe asked.

"Or else?" Yang Lingting said.

"What's the matter with this severed finger?" Ji Zihe asked: "You asked me to do research related to this severed finger, but what does this have to do with severed fingers?" ”

"This severed finger is the finger of the first living person to be transformed into a 'ghost man'." Yang Lingting said: "Now do you understand? ”

"I'm not a researcher, what can I do here?" Ji Zihe asked.

"You can record this with Shadowstone." Yang Lingting said.

"What did you say?" Ji Zihe's heart was shocked.

"Aren't you here for this? Ji Zihe. Yang Lingting said, "Don't tell me that little thing hidden so deep in your body is not a shadow stone. ”

"This..."Ji Zihe said.

"Are you curious?" Yang Lingting said: "Although the shadow stone is only popular within the 'rat', it doesn't mean that I don't know. Don't forget, my Yang family is the first family in the empire. ”

Now, there's no point in continuing to hide it.

"You know everything, why did you take me down?" Ji Zihe asked.

"I've confirmed, you're not an enemy." Yang Lingting said: "And your answer just now, although there is some hesitation, isn't it your true thoughts in your heart?" You may be able to fool others, but you can't fool me. Even a 'rat' who has undergone extremely severe training can see through a lie in front of me. ”

"In that case, why not study it above board? Won't you just explain it to the Empire? Ji Zihe asked rhetorically.

"No, it can't be done. It is impossible for the Empire to support this plan. Yang Lingting said: "The current empire is no longer the empire of the Qin ancestor era. ”

"And I guess you've been commissioned to investigate 'Blackwater'." Ji Zihe said: "No accident, it should be Huang Ran's old goods." ”

"You know all this?" Ji Zihe was unbelievable.

"Don't forget, Fengyuan City is full of my people, I know the patient battle you did with Huang Ran, not only that, but I also know the mercenary agency called 'Shenxing'." Yang Lingting said: "Don't compare me to the group of wastes who eat dry meals all day. ”

"Since you weren't appointed by the enemy to interfere with my plans, at least we're not enemies, and I'm willing to let you use the Shadow Stone here." Yang Lingting said.

"Is there any purpose for you?" Ji Zihe asked.

"Purpose? Very simple. Yang Lingting said softly: "Because I need an outsider." ”

"And then?" Ji Zihe asked, "What do you need an outsider to do?" ”

Ji Zihe didn't know what to say when he got here.

"I need an outsider to spy on Blackwater." Yang Lingting said: "What is providing us with support now is 'Black Water', and those selfish people don't know what they want to do here." ”

"What is Blackwater doing in spying on you?" Ji Zihe said: "Could it be that 'Heishui' is still planning to engage in any conspiracy in this situation? ”

"I don't know, the only thing I know at the moment is that this group of people who took the initiative to contact me are definitely not at ease." Yang Lingting said: "Are you willing to monitor the 'Black Water' for me?" ”

"If you don't say anything else, aren't you afraid that I'll leak these things?" Ji Zihe asked.

"Will you?" Yang Lingting said: "I can tell you very realistically, even if you reveal all the inside stories here, my Yang family will not be afraid." Moreover, if you reveal it, it means that you have now killed more than sixty percent of the population of the empire. ”

"Ji Zihe, although you and I can't get along for two days, I appreciate you very much in these two days." Yang Lingting said: "The reason why I am here to pick out your purpose is to tell you one thing. ”

"Tell me what?" Ji Zihe asked.

"I, Yang Lingting, my Yang family, the largest family with only more than 500 family members in the 1.1 billion population of the Shenyue Great Empire, the Yang family, known to the outside world as the House of the Ivory Tower, will never succumb to that group of wrecks."

At this time, Yang Lingting's whole body was full of strength, and his eyes were full of confidence and arrogance.
