Chapter 336: The Mission Begins
"You! You're also the captain... No, you're also Twilight, just like Sodi? β
"Well, though, Sodi is my captain now, and we have a mission here, so we can't go out."
After hearing this, the old woman nodded, and at the same time kept looking at Li Qing and did not leave.
After a while, she muttered, "The Demon Brake is arresting you, it's dangerous here, you come with me." β
With that, he walked in the other direction, where there was an upward staircase, and Li Qing and Suo Di followed closely up.
It was several floors in a row before they stopped.
"Come in!" The place where the old woman brought them was a place that resembled a combination of a bedroom, a kitchen, and a dining room.
"Don't dislike it, this is where I live, it's a bit of a mess."
Walking in, I saw that the house was not only messy, but also very simple, such a cold day, there was not even a stove, and the temperature was terrible.
He leaned against the wall and frowned, "You said you used to be in the Black Ops, but why did you come back here, and what do you know about this place, can you tell us?" β
The old woman looked at him, nodded, and then pulled two chairs, one for Li Qing and the other herself.
"I was captured by the emperor," as soon as she spoke, Li Qing and Suo Di were stunned, "After so many years, no one knows that I am here, I don't know what the emperor said to the outside world, I guess, it's nothing more than saying that I'm dead or something, in short, I have stayed here for more than ten years, and I have never stepped out of this tower for half a step."
"You want to know what the Emperor is doing here? No problem, I can tell you guys! I don't know anything about the outside world, but I know everything in this tower. β
When the old woman said this, they both listened quietly and did not interrupt her.
"This tower, built in the 'forbidden land', except for the emperor Dharma and his closest people, no one knows, even if someone breaks into here by mistake, they can only see that this is a tower, and no one who has ever been alive can walk in openly.
"The first time you saw it, you were amazed, such a huge tower appeared in a forbidden place where no one inhabited?"
Li Qing couldn't help but nodded.
"It seems to you that it is a tower," continued the old woman, "but it seems to me that it is a laboratory without human nature! β
"Lab?"
"That's right, this is driven by the ambition and power of Emperor Moment, who has nowhere to put it!" The old woman said with a little excitement, her body trembling slightly, "In order to realize his ambition and satisfy him, I don't know how many people have died here!"
"You have also seen that the corpses in that cabinet are all done by the emperor and the people of his Demon Brake Society! I'm old, and now he doesn't need me for his research, and now my job is to dispose of those corpses, and I live every day better than death, I really want to die! β
The old woman said while silently wiping her tears, obviously, she had never had the opportunity to say these words for so many years, today, even if she said it, the more she said it, the more sad she felt.
Li Qing also felt that this old man was indeed pitiful, and at the same time, his hatred for the emperor was a little worse.
"Don't worry, we are here this time to find out what the emperor has done, and then make all this public." Sodi still said calmly.
"Do you really have faith that you can get out alive?"
"We must get out alive, and we must take you out with us!"
After Suo Di finished speaking, the old woman smiled, but he didn't smile happily, but smiled disapprovingly, "Suo Di, your strength has obviously increased a lot over the years, presumably Yuan Ling's girl's medicine has indeed worked, but, don't forget, your ability is specifically to fight against dark ghosts, but there are no dark ghosts here!"
"Do you know what you're going to face here?" The old woman said solemnly, "The Emperor has concentrated the most powerful forces of the Demon Brake Society here, and they... They are not ordinary humans, but modified people with ancient race cells in their bodies! β
"Change... Transform people?! Sodi was shocked.
"That's right, this is considered Muying's 'forbidden place', it's not nonsense, but there is evidence. When this tower was first established, the emperor did not directly use it as a research laboratory, but before that, he spent manpower and material resources to first find the remains of the ancient race of Muying.
He used the remnants of his regret to strengthen his guards, and what happened afterwards proved that he was right.
"With a strong guard, anyone who dared to disobey him was killed, leaving behind his closest men.
"Then, even if this laboratory was established, those strengthened guards have been there for so many years, and they have never made a mistake!
"Sodi, and youβ" The old woman looked at Li Qing, "You are all the hope of the Black Ops, you can't die here!" Listen to me, don't worry about this here, leave me alone, find a chance to escape first, okay? β
What the old woman said was sincere, and Li Qing knew that she was all for their good, and she definitely didn't mean to exaggerate.
From the moment he entered this tower, he felt that there was a powerful force in this tower, which was even more powerful than the few people of the Demon Brake Society that he encountered when he was in the southwest tower.
But now that they think about it, it's too late, and since they're in, they don't plan to go home empty-handed.
Li Qing was not afraid, and Suo Di naturally would never back down, he took a few steps forward, held the old woman's dry hands, and said patiently, "Don't worry, I will try my best to survive and take you out of this ghost place." β
When the old woman saw that she had not persuaded them, she turned away and began to wipe her tears again...
That's pretty much the time they asked, and then, it's time to get on your own.
Suo Di walked to the window and beckoned Li Qing over, "I'll go out and continue to investigate in a while, you stay here." β
"No! I'll go with you! β
"A person is more inconspicuous, what if you go and get discovered? You've heard how powerful those people are. β
"But, if something happens, I can still help you!"
"Your stay here is the greatest help to me, remember, don't run around, don't mess around! This is a mission, and all actions must be done by the captain. You can imagine what you would think if you and Fang Yi went on a mission and he didn't listen to you. β
Suo Di's last sentence blocked the other words in Li Qing's stomach.
There is no way, now that he is the captain, Li Qing, as a team member, must unconditionally carry out the captain's orders.
After a while, Li Qing nodded reluctantly, and then added, "I can stay here, but if I know that you are in danger, I must save you, I will never watch you die!" β
Suodi smiled disdainfully, and finally, noddedγγγγγγ
