In the Deep Aether Research Center, all the imprisoned scourge people were liberated, and then riots ensued.

All early warning and riot control measures in the park were secretly lifted before then.

The previous lockdown could not be lifted inexplicably, and instead became a cage for the researchers themselves.

It's clear what will happen next.

When Lucas came to the outside of the park, he was stuck in the barrier outside, and it took him a while to tear a hole through it.

At this time, the park was gloomy, and all kinds of blood stains could be seen on the road, and many buildings were damaged.

As soon as Lucas came in, he saw a few troublemakers fighting, and the movement of him tearing open the gap was a bit big, which attracted some attention at once.

"I suggest you ignore me." Lucas looked at the scene and said flatly.

Of course, it is impossible for so many people who have managed to escape to ignore so many, and several of them pounced directly on Lucas.

Behind Lucas, the spider's feet were open, and some of the misfortunes were cut into pieces by eight legs just after they started.

"Let's find Slaj first." Looking around, he moved quickly.

……

"Miss Karenina, you should have been able to leave the Golden Circle some time ago. You left here the other day, find another place to sleep today, and wake up the next day, and you'll probably see the news that makes you happy. ”

In Slager's office, the two of them were standing here, and the riot outside hadn't yet reached this point.

Karenina in front of her did not reply.

Slaj continued, "Or do you prefer to see the moment when the existing order collapses?" ”

Karenina shook her head: "I don't have that interest. ”

"Yes, after all, I can't see anything if I want to see here." Slaj nodded.

As he spoke, the old man took out a bottle of wine from the cabinet next to him, took another cup, and wiped it gently: "Do you want to have a drink?" ”

Karenina did not refuse.

"That scourge should be three-stage, and its reproduction is not just the appearance of the surface. It can even replicate something more profound. Habits, memories, spirit, soul, and even strength. ”

Slaj took a sip of his wine: "What's her code name?" 'Kaos'? I think it seems to mean 'chaos', but it's not bad. ”

"I didn't expect that, that's not what Arona told me at the beginning." Karenina opened her mouth to defend herself, but she stopped talking at the warm gaze of the old man in front of her.

Then he took a sip of wine and sighed, "Even if Arona promises, I should understand what it means to be a third-stage disaster, and to conceal it as a second-stage disaster and send it to the institute is to put this place in danger." ”

"You don't have to regret it, you just carried out the orders that others gave you, and as for the source of this disaster, it is still me." Slaj said in a soothing tone.

"It's your life's work." Karenina didn't think that the old man in front of her should be so indifferent in the face of the current situation.

"My heart's work, yes, my heart's blood. But this effort has nothing to do with my own abilities. ”

Karenina looked at Slager: "Your initial connection with Bai Cang was related to a transaction, but you left Bai Cang to complete a matter on your own...... Is it 'Aristotle'? ”

When Bai Cang first came into contact with the Silversand faction, one of the most important bargaining chips he asked for was the Deep Aether Research Center.

The rhetoric at the time was that what they wanted was in Slager's hands.

Kaos had been sent to retrieve the item, but the violence she had used in the process was beyond Karenina's imagination.

She didn't know if little Robben knew anything about it.

But with that person's nature, I'm afraid there is.

Because although Xiao Luo Ben was in contact with Bai Cang in the name of the Yinsha faction.

However, Kaos, the only three-stage scourge under his command who can mobilize and control, does not choose to hold it in his hands, but uses it to help Bai Cang achieve the goal of seizing something.

It's a bit bizarre.

To be precise, it is not the Yinsha faction that cooperates with Bai Cang, but the person of Little Robben.

The old man did not answer, but said: "The hospitality is not good, it is not safe outside now, Miss Karenina can go to the safe house in my office, presumably this commotion will not last long, at least it will definitely end today." ”

"Thanks, but what about you?"

Karenina looked at Sledger's movements, as if she was not going to hide, or even where to go.

"There is still a meeting waiting for me." Slaj replied with a smile.

Karenina stopped talking.

And Sledger's next words also made her stunned: "I hope you can wait for your meeting too." ”

With that, the old man tapped Karenina's glass with his glass, and then turned to leave.

……

Slaj walked slowly down the hallway, the corridor outside quiet, seemingly isolated from all fear.

As he passed the aisle at the edge of a courtyard, the windows on the wall shattered at the same time!

A scourge leaped in front of his eyes and looked at the old man with a hideous face.

Slager's face did not change, and he continued to carry his glass and bottle forward.

The scourge man raised his hand and was about to do something, but suddenly his eyes fell into confusion and his body froze in place.

The old man had no accident and continued to walk.

It wasn't until Sledger had completely left that the scourge seemed to come back to his senses, and he glanced around a few times, and suddenly couldn't figure out what he was here for, and finally could only walk through violently in a daze, looking for a living creature to vent himself.

Slaj used an emergency manual switch to open the room where the Deep Aether Furnace was kept.

Then he stepped inside, looking out at the furnace that was still working in the depths of the window where Lucas had been watching Aristotle.

"That's what you got back then."

A voice rang out in the room.

Slasher didn't turn around, and the other man paced to his side.

Fancy colorful robes and that familiar mask of a crying face.

It is the "fake" sect leader that Wan Ye has not seen for a long time.

He came here without knowing it.

"swept away the resources I gave you at the beginning and fled back to the Golden Circle, and even helped the Golden Circle vigorously sweep away the forces of Baicang, so as to gain a firm foothold and get a stable environment. There are few people in the world who cross rivers and tear down bridges like you. ”

Although the man in colorful clothes was full of complaints, his tone was very flat.

"If you thoroughly grasped the value behind the Deep Aether, what would you do?"

"Immediately make the world what I want it to be." The Colored Cloth Sect Master did not hesitate.

"Is the world you want to be really what you think it is? I deny it. Slaj didn't budge in his attitude.

"Didn't I tell you?"

"As I said, you want to make this world stable, to create a complete land, a real world, no longer floating on the surface of the empty island and separate boundary zones, everyone really lives under a blue sky." Slaj said with emotion.

"Then you, do you have any grievances against me?"

"Not really, it's just a little different view of the world. I don't want to identify with the world you've described to me. It's inclusive enough, but it's just stable enough compared to what it is now, and it can't really change anything. Slaj said slowly.

"Is that so? But even if you take away the possibility of mastering the deep ether, I am still single-handedly pushing the world through upheaval. The disintegration of the boundary zone. Countless deaths and injuries were born in what should have been a gentle process, and do you think that's acceptable? ”

"You can accept it, why can't I? Don't try to kidnap me. Slaj took a sip of his wine and couldn't help but laugh.

After a long silence, the Colored Cloth Sect Master said, "I don't need this furnace anymore, I want to get back the things that are used as the core inside." ”

Slaj just poured another glass of wine, then handed the bottle to the Rainbow Sect Master, "Would you like a drink?" Izawa. ”

……

Lucas arrives at Slager's office, but doesn't see Slager.

But I met another person I didn't really want to see, Karenina.

"Hey, what should I call you?" Karenina, who was in front of her, held a wine glass, gestured to Lucas, and greeted.

"I thought you were leaving the Golden Circle." Lucas didn't pay much attention and said casually.

"Because there are still people I want to meet, I chose to stay."

"Do you think you'll be able to meet the person you want to meet here?"

"Isn't he here now?"

Lucas didn't respond for a moment, and then his eyes narrowed slightly, "I'm sorry, but I'm not very fond of inheriting relationships outside of working hours, let alone having my skin off now." ”

The current Lucas did not use a modified skin, but directly used the real face that Wan Yi and Lucas combined.

"Do you know all of Lucas's thoughts?" Karenina asked.

"Probably yes, at least I, who have absorbed all of his memories and thought patterns, should be able to deduce most of his thoughts without departing from them. You know, he's very simple. ”

Karenina's eyes were a little hazy: "Then if I want to take him with me at this time and leave the Golden Circle, will he promise me?" ”

There was silence in the office.

Lucas's head tilted slightly, and then turned positive again: "It should be." ”

Karenina smiled a little poignantly.

Lucas, on the other hand, said: "I answered your question, so you can answer me a question as well, who is the person hiding in the back room, and your surface mood swings are exactly the same as that one." ”

Suddenly, the hidden door at the back of the office opened, and another figure of Karenina stepped out of it.

The new Karenina had red eyes and tears in her eyes.

Two Karenina.

And the Karenina in front turned to the other self and said, "I asked for you, but unfortunately he is too perceptive, and your escape is nowhere to hide." ”

Kanina shook her head slightly.

Karenina, who was in front, smiled and said, "The last trace of the illusory haven that she can ask for has become someone else's skin. The perfect play that the other party once showed deceived your heart, and even you still had hope. ”

As she spoke, this Karenina came to Lucas, and her figure suddenly changed, turning into Lucas's old acquaintance Pique.

"Remember me?"

"I remembered it all at once, and it was unforgettable." Lucas had no surprises.

"We need to catch up, and I'm interested in you."

"How interested?"

"I'm so interested that I don't want to complete my task at all, I just want to dig out your brain and see what you are." The "Pique" in front of him changed again, turning into a strong figure that Lucas didn't recognize.

Then, the opponent's body condensed and fired a large number of metal blades flying out.
