Ma Xingkong looked at Luo Lei, and his eyes suddenly became sharp and abnormal!

The lights in the living room flickered suddenly, as if the current was disturbed in some way......

Immediately afterward, the temperature in the living room seemed to begin to plummet, and the two wine glasses and a wine bottle placed on the coffee table began to condense a trace of frost on the glass wall; Between their breaths, they began to exhale hot air that was visible to the naked eye.

Luo Lei put down the wine glass that felt cold to the touch, and extinguished the cigarette in his hand that was extinguished by the low temperature and cold in the ashtray.

"The Five Elements of the Yuan Shen? It seems that you are not a simple rich second generation. ”

Luo Lei, who still didn't look up, quipped.

"In front of you, anyone is a simple person."

Ma Xingkong's voice was cold, and his face was covered with ice.

Luo Lei smiled and said: "Everything in the world is nothing more than the five attributes of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth; If you practice to this level, you will be able to transform the power of the ethereal Yuan Shen into an entity with the attributes of the five elements, which is a means to truly transform the power from virtual to real. ”

Crumpling the cigarette butt in the jar, Luo Lei half-lay back on the sofa and said, "It's cold to the bone!" Tut-tut...... It seems that your Yuan Shen attribute is respected by water, and you have practiced to the point of condensing water into ice! The strength that can be shown by such a cultivation is extreme, even if it does not break the army, it must be the top of the battle. ”

"With such strength, how can he be a simple person?"

Luo Lei said as he took out another cigarette.

The moment the cigarette was taken out, the thin cigarette paper was covered with frost and moisture, and it was obvious that it could not be ignited at all.

However, when this cigarette was put in Luo Lei's mouth, the dampness and coldness of the cigarette gradually faded!

He picked up the lighter again and tried to fire it twice, but the flint and steel rubbed the sparks but they could not ignite; At this time, Luo Lei's thought moved, and an untraceable Yuan Shen power came out through his palm, wrapped the lighter inside, and then hit it again, and the flame ignited with a swish.

This time, the burning cigarette was no longer disturbed by the low temperature, and the smoke mixed with nicotine and tar wafted and swayed in the silent space, like a distorted spirit.

Ma Xingkong quietly watched Luo Lei's every move......

The cold inside the room became more and more pressing, and even the furniture and walls began to condense visible frost!

These frosts came from all directions, and the direction that could be extended was towards where Luo Lei was, and they slowly spread towards him from the walls, floors, and ceilings, forming an encirclement!

Just when these frosts climbed onto the sofa and were about to touch Luo Lei's body......

I only heard him say lightly: "There are still people sleeping at home, don't freeze them." ”

As soon as the words came out, the spreading frost instantly stopped.

And Ma Xingkong, who controlled all this, sighed softly......

The sharp eyes returned to peace, and the frost and cold all around them also disappeared in an instant.

The temperature in the room suddenly rose.

......

After some temptation, Ma Xingkong once again refilled the wine in the cup of the two.

After pouring it, he raised his wine glass and took a sip, and then looked at Luo Lei deeply.

"You...... Not dead? ”

This time, he didn't hide the infinite consternation revealed in his pupils.

Luo Lei drank half of the wine in the cup, pouted, and said, "I'm not a dead clan, if you mean this." ”

Ma Xingkong shook his head slightly, looking at the person sitting opposite, this unforgettable face, countless questions and puzzles kept emerging in his heart, and he couldn't wait to vent his brain!

But when the words came to his lips, he found that he was speechless!?

After a while, he laughed at himself: "I didn't expect that now, a person who should be crusaded by the whole world is sitting in front of me, but I don't know where to start." ”

He drank the wine in one gulp!

And Luo Lei was still smoking by himself, and Gu Jing Wubo's expression still didn't show the slightest clue, but he said: "Do you want to ask me, why did the world become like this?" ”

"Yes!"

Ma Xingkong tried his best to suppress his emotions.

"Then I'm sorry, I can't answer you about this, because......

I don't know. ”

Hearing Luo Lei's answer, Ma Xingkong's eyes began to have blood, and he lost control for a while, pinching and popping the cup in his hand, and the ice cubes made of metal were pinched and twisted by his palm!

"You don't know? You're the actual person in charge of the 'Spiritual Realm' project!

This crazy plan to bring virtual characters into the real world is developed, researched, and planned by you from start to finish!

You're telling me now that you don't know!? ”

He subconsciously leaned forward, tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart, and restrained: "On the day the server went online, the original plan was just to generate a very small number of virtual worlds and characters in a specific pilot! This kind of simple thing has been successfully tested countless times within the company before, why did it completely get out of control at the last moment, resulting in this irreparable result!? ”

"If there is only one person in this world who knows the reason, then that person is you, Luo Lei!"

Ma Xingkong was short of breath and glared at Luo Lei angrily, his tone full of endless condemnation.

In his heart, in the heart of the world;

The person in front of him is likely to be the culprit who brought this world to the brink of destruction!

However, at this time, in the face of this outrageous accusation, Luo Lei still did not look at him.

I don't know if it's because of alcohol, or if I feel guilty, Luo Lei's eyes are full of confusion.

Putting down the empty glass, he picked up the entire bottle, lifted the lid and set it aside, and poured a sip directly into his mouth, but still did not answer......

"Do you really think that if you don't speak, all of this will have nothing to do with you?"

Ma Xingkong snorted coldly.

"In the months following the 'Spiritual Tribulation', the company and the governments of various countries worked together to resist the invasion of the sub-humans, and paid a terrible price to slow down the progress of the catastrophe...... At that time, the company announced your death to the world, saying that you were assassinated in your own research institute on the day of the 'Spiritual Tribulation'! According to the results of the investigation, it was the killer of the 'Ghost Tiger' organization, one of the three major killer sects in ancient times! ”

As if realizing that he was a little out of shape, Ma Xingkong adjusted his sitting posture slightly, and said in a cold tone: "As the initiator of the 'Spirit Tribulation', all the humans who survived this catastrophe at that time regarded you as a thorn in the flesh in the eye!" But with the news of your death, all the cause and effect should have been over...... I didn't think about it, but now you are actually alive and well? ”

After a pause, Ma Xingkong suddenly said, "Could it be that this is a trick by the company to try to cover you?" ”

Faced with his questioning, Luo Lei said: "What if I tell you that the company sent someone to kill me?" ”

These words are like thunder in the sky......

Violently slashed in the mind and heart of Ma Xingkong!

"Impossible! How could the company be a killer against you?! ”

"You're a member of the board of directors and can participate in any decision at the top of the company," he said, somewhat incredulously. And ......"

Ma Xingkong's whole person looked a little trance: "After the accident of the 'Spiritual Realm' project, the company is facing the most serious public relations crisis since its inception!" In this case, it is more important to protect your safety and push you to the world to take all the responsibilities than to ......"

"Instead of killing people and cutting off all the clues that might point to them?"

Luo Lei said along with his words.

Ma Xingkong's heart was instantly surging!

However, he still said coldly: "This is just your side of the story!" ”

"Isn't the news announced by the company one-sided?"

Luo Lei sneered: "Not only that, but this is still fake news...... Haven't I just sat here and talked to you? ”

Ma Xingkong shot the case: "Then what is the truth!?" ”

The temperature around me is starting to chill again!

"Can you believe what I said?"

Seeing this, Luo Lei frowned, pressed his hand at him and said, "You sit down first!" It's okay for the two of you to talk about this, don't really wake up the rest of the room...... Anyway, your father fell asleep upstairs. ”

Ma Xingkong stared at Luo Lei, so he had to sit down again.

"Alas...... How so? I really can't answer you for the truth of your so-called...... Don't get excited! I say this because I really can't give you the answers you want. ”

After taking a sip of wine and smoking a cigarette, Luo Lei breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "What I can tell you is that the person who killed me was indeed sent by the company!" But well...... As you can see, they didn't succeed. ”

Seeing that Ma Xingkong was about to have another attack, he raised his hand to stop it: "I was indeed ambushed in the northern laboratory that day!" But it wasn't the Ghost Tiger Killer who came to kill me, but the people from the 'Ten Mission', the first internal force audit team of Lei Li Technology Company! ”

"The Ten Mission!?"

Hearing these four words, Ma Xingkong subconsciously trembled, and his heart was filled with a hint of coldness.

The ten-member mission is the supreme force in the hands of Lei Li Technology Company, and it is nominally a special department composed of senior audit cadres of the company;

In fact, they are mainly responsible for dealing with the "dirty work" necessary for the expansion of enterprises by force, and some things that cannot be put on the table.

Of course, as the company's top combatants, they also take on the responsibility of protecting important personnel.

Seeing Ma Xingkong's reaction, Luo Lei chuckled and said, "What's the matter, have you heard of it?" The existence of the ten-member mission is an internal secret of the company, and only the middle and senior personnel of Leili Technology have the right to know. ”

Ma Xingkong's expression was stunned!

"Hey~~~ Don't hide it, I have long heard that you are a person from Lei Li Technology...... keeps saying that the company is screaming, and knows so many things, anyone can hear it. ”

Luo Lei drank wine and suddenly asked, "Which department are you?" ”

“...... I am the deputy leader of Group 8 of the Research Department. Ma Xingkong replied in a deep voice.

Luo Lei was a little interested, and said with a smile: "Scientific research department? So, you're still my subordinate? ”

"I'm out of the company, and I'm no longer anyone's subordinate." Ma Xingkong sneered.

"Really? It's better to be your rich second generation better than to work hard for the company. ”

Lu Lei raised the wine bottle and made a toast gesture to him, regardless of whether the other party had wine or not.

“...... And then what! ”

Ignoring Luo Lei's behavior, Ma Xingkong still did not give up.

Swallowing the whiskey, Lu Lei smacked his lips: "Later, they missed a blow and let me escape...... I was mortally wounded, and fled all the way to the depths of the north, and the men of the Ten Legation pursued me for more than a thousand miles, and finally forced me to the end of the road. ”

"And then there's the bloody cliché...... I was forced to jump in desperation, and miraculously survived, now sitting in front of my old men. ”

Luo Lei extinguished the last cigarette butt.

After hearing what he said, Ma Xingkong closed his eyes and took a deep breath, and then said, "Are you coaxing me like a three-year-old child?" ”

He stood up, but his tone was not as excited as before: "I don't deny that in the metaverse field, you are an unparalleled genius; But with the means of a single technician, how can you escape the pursuit of the ten-man mission? And also...... The end of the world is not only the end of the whole territory of Kyushu, but also the end of the world! No one can survive after jumping off the Endless End, let alone you, not even the strongest of the ancients! ”

questioned and refuted one after another, as if Luo Lei was speechless, he just drank in silence and said nothing.

Ma Xingkong stared at him for a few seconds, and finally suppressed all emotions for the time being.

Then he sighed softly and walked silently up the stairs......

"It's late, you can rest first...... We'll talk about that later. ”

After saying that, his figure disappeared into the corridor.

The living room fell silent again;

Luo Lei was left alone, leaning softly on the sofa, letting the strength of the alcohol rush towards his head.

Feeling the exhaustion in his body, his eyes slowly closed......

And in the next room, the girl who pressed her ear to the wall got up and left.
