Chapter 167: Does This Count as Child Labor?
"This woman, too, is a mutant?" After checking the surveillance, Torres asked with a grim face.
"This... This..."The short and fat mayor of Shangdu didn't know how to answer, he wasn't omniscient, how could he know if the other party was a mutant.
"Hmph." Torres snorted dissatisfied, and said, "You always know where those two mutant imps are, if you don't know..."
"This knows, they are in the abandoned area." The Humpty Dumpty Mayor said hurriedly.
Torres' eyes twinkled.
β¦β¦
"Who the hell are you, and where is Heya?" Rui kept asking after he woke up, and Xuan Mo wanted to brainwash him directly.
But if you do that, it's not interesting at all.
"You were supposed to be trained as a weapon, which you should be able to think of even if you are simple, otherwise why would Badr appear to you?"
Xuan Mo said unhurriedly, and took a sip of the tea he brewed, which was brought out from Angel Nebula, looking at Mia, who was curious and smelling the fragrance, Xuan Mo was funny.
"Do you want to drink?"
Mia lowered her head in embarrassment.
Three cups were summoned, and the teapot was refilled separately, and the three teacups flew in front of the three of them.
"Try it, one of my favorite teas." Xuan Mo gestured.
"Thank you, sister." Mia said politely.
But her brother Nova on the side drank it as if he was swallowing dates, and he couldn't help but feel embarrassed when he realized that he didn't seem to have any taste for it.
Xuan Mo ignored him and looked at Rui with a vigilant face, "Afraid of poison?" β
"Hehe, if I had malicious will towards you, I wouldn't have brought you out."
Rui thought about it, and with the means that the other party just revealed, he really didn't have the ability to resist.
"You were supposed to be trained to be a weapon of war, but Academician Heya relented, and she did something to make you not succeed in reaching your destination, and she hoped that you would be able to go your own way."
"But it's a pity, this woman has a hand in scientific research, her IQ is online, but her EQ is flawed, she wants you to live freely and get rid of the fate of becoming a weapon...
However, she didn't ask your opinion, she thought that with your power she could live well without Asgard, but she didn't know that the people outside were sinister.
You can now say that you are a fragrant bait, the Revolutionary Army, the Shang Capital, or other guerrilla organizations are all focused on you, the secret of the nano core, they all want to crack it, so as to create their own nano soldiers. β
Xuan Mo took a sip of tea, and then said: "Let's not talk about these related to your interests, let's talk about Heya's current situation." β
"What's wrong with Heya!" Rui, who was stunned by Xuan Mo's previous words, heard Heya and immediately said nervously.
It's really a deep love between mother and son, and they are all dedicated to each other's sake, but it's a pity that they all belong to the series of IQ exceeding the standard and EQ feeding dogs.
"Heya, as an academician of Hevag, and even more so as the person directly responsible for you, but he moved his selfish intentions to let you go, what do you think the Golden Palace will do with her?"
"Theyβ" Rui looked overwhelmed.
Growing up in a laboratory, he was exposed to so few things that he didn't know how to express them, even if he could think of them.
"It won't be too much, after all, the number of subhumans is already scarce, not to mention that Heya is still one of the few scientific research academicians of subhumans, but house arrest is indispensable, as for what will happen in the end, it depends on you."
"Me?"
"Well, Heya let you out, Asgard won't, they will find you, and then investigate layer by layer, and finally determine the severity of Heya's mistake."
"No, I'm going to save Heya!" Rui said that he was about to rush out.
Xuan Mo helped his forehead, didn't he say that he was a very smart child, uh... Well, it's because he thinks too much, maybe even if he is smart, he is used in battle, after all, it was cultivated to become a weapon of war.
Stretching out his hand, Rui was fixed in place by the strong spiritual power.
"Mia, what do you think will happen if he goes out now?" Xuan Mo suddenly looked at Mia, who was obediently drinking tea.
"Yes, it's going to be dangerous." Mia said weakly.
"It's not going to be dangerous, but it's going to be dangerous, just now the big sister said that you were being targeted by a lot of people, as if they were going to dissect you or something, if you don't hide now, you'll die a miserable death, don't mention saving the Heya you said." Nova glared at Rui and said.
Xuan Mo couldn't help but glance at Nova, quite sensible.
"Do you hear, if you leave now, not only will you not be able to save Heya, but you will also put yourself in a crisis, wasting Heya's hard work in vain." Xuan Mo looked at Rui and said, at the same time loosening the spiritual power that bound the other party.
"Whew." Rui gasped, the feeling of being motionless was too uncomfortable.
"But what should I do..."
Xuan Mo raised his eyebrows, and said in his heart, you finally asked.
"Two ways, one is to hide, don't let Asgard find you, as long as you don't appear in front of them, then they can't convict Heya for sure.
Two, you beg me, and I will help you save Heya. β
"Please help me save Heya."
β¦β¦
Looking at Rui, who was tugging on his sleeve, the corners of Xuan Mo's mouth couldn't help twitching slightly, child, what about your backbone, and... You're so straightforward, isn't it, am I not clear enough?
Well, Rui is still a small blank piece of paper with no words written on it, and there is a lot of blank space except for the point where Heya writes.
"It's no problem to help you save Heya, but in exchange for the same price, you have to work for me after I rescue Heya." Xuan Mo made his own conditions.
"Part-time job?"
Rui looked puzzled.
Nova couldn't look at it, and after looking at it for a long time, he also saw that this guy named Rui seemed to have a little insufficient brain, and couldn't help but say: "It's the meaning of work, to complete some tasks assigned to you." β
"Okay, I'll work for you later." Rui, who understood the meaning, didn't want to think about it, so he agreed.
"That's... Big sister, can I also work for you, just eat and live, I don't want a salary. Nova suddenly said with a hippie smile.
"Brother!" Mia felt so embarrassed.
Xuan Mo raised his eyebrows, revealing a playful expression, "Oh? Don't pay me to work, and this is a good thing? β
"Of course, sister, you are so powerful, we will work for you, you won't let others bully us, right?" Nova laughed.
Xuan Mo understood, it turned out that he was using him as a backer.
"Yes, but I explained in advance that I really don't have a salary to work for me, but some benefits are still available."
"Welfare?!"
"Well, welfare first, whoever moves me has to pay the price."
Domineering!
Nova was excited, he didn't want to know the rest, the benefits were enough for this one.
"Where's Mia?" Xuan Mo looked at Mi Ya.
"I also want to work at my sister's." Mia held her heart in her hands and said with a worried expression.
Her telepathy couldn't sense this big sister's thoughts at all, so she didn't know that Xuan Mo would disagree.
Oh, child's heart.
"Okay, wait a minute, a voice will ring in your heads, agree." Xuan Mo smiled, sure enough, the strength is in place, and most of them can be very simple.
"Well, boss, what are we doing?" Nova was quick to change his identity, and asked.
"You'll find out later." Xuan Mo smiled and gave instructions to the system.
A voice suddenly sounded in his head, and even though he was mentally prepared, Nova was still startled, and there was some fuss.
Security?
