Hold on, the system and I have never been angry

"Let me guess, the core of your system is in Earl," Lu Jinzhao pinched the bottle between his thumb and middle finger, deliberately shaking it up and down and turning it back and forth, making the Heri Kappa inside roll around, his voice and expression were calm, "Or is it in Shi Feng?"

Heli Kapa was dizzy and his face was bruised and swollen from knocking his head in the bottle, but he still insisted: "I won't tell you."

Lu Jinchao accessed the military public channel: "Your Highness, I know you are listening. The most important thing now is to find Earl and control Shi Feng. I can't tell you the details, but it is very likely that Heri Kappa's lifeline lies with these two."

"Understood. Shi Feng is still in my hands." Tumen Quan's calm voice came from the optical brain: "All soldiers, listen to my order. Search for Earl's whereabouts with all your strength and try to capture him alive."

"Ah, so Shi Feng is in her hands. Since it's not in Nox's hands, I'm relieved. If it was in her system space, I really don't know how to get it." Heli Kappa knocked on the inner wall of the bottle and said, "Monde, do you hear me? Do it."

Although they didn't know who Heli Kappa was talking to, not long after, there seemed to be an explosion in the palace below. They were standing high in the air and couldn't see clearly, so perhaps it was Mond that Heli Kappa mentioned that was making a move.

Lu Jinzhao raised the bottle above his head and looked at Heli Kapa inside in the sunlight. The man on the other side was smiling smugly, as if to say that he had deliberately entered the bottle in order to get information from Shi Feng. He shook the bottle casually and said with a smile: "Guess, did I deliberately guard against your hand?"

"What?" Heli Kappa's face changed. "What do you mean?"

"That's what I mean." Yi Cen and Yi Yi appeared in a mecha, holding the unconscious Earl in the mecha's big metal hand. She sat in the mecha's cockpit, and the system automatically magnified the situation in the bottle. She deliberately said in a sarcastic tone: "Your Mond has also been captured."

"We have long guessed that you must have a back-up plan if you crawled into the bottle without resistance, so we are keeping an eye on you." Qiansui covered his mouth and laughed secretly, "Three generals of JQA are dead, and you are short of manpower. Earl was tortured in the dungeon and was dying when he was kidnapped. His punishment is special, and he will be a disabled person even if he is cured, and needs protection. Apart from Jian Tingzhi who acted alone, you have almost no one else to use. If someone leaves your starship at this time, it is very likely that Earl is in there. You see, as expected, we caught him."

On the other side, Tumenquan said that they had captured Mengde and Shifeng. She, Wenrenjin, Tuling Tuyue, Lingying Qiya were stationed in the palace, and Shifeng himself had a certain fighting capacity, so it was very safe. Mengde alone was no match for them.

Wen Renjin shouted to the remaining enemies through a loudspeaker: "All your leaders have fallen into our hands. If you don't want to die, surrender now! Those who surrender will be treated leniently!"

Zhong Sheng posted a battle report on the military public channel: "The monster maker has been destroyed."

The enemy starships stopped dropping monsters, and the remaining monsters on the ground could be completely handed over to the android troops to clean up. The surviving enemy troops in the air looked at each other and raised their hands in surrender.

The imperial soldiers used catapult nets to capture them all, and sent them into their own starships one by one.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Heli Kappa frowned and said, "Aren't you afraid that I will blow up the entire capital planet?!"

"Blow it up, idiot. After solving this hidden danger of yours, we can reset the small world at any time. Besides, everyone is in our hands now. We just need to know who holds your core." Nox gave him a middle finger. "It's nothing more than you need to spend more resources after the explosion. You can blow it up if you want, I don't mind."

"I missed Jian Tingzhi." Lu Jinzhao added.

Nox shook his head. "We didn't catch him. He must have taken advantage of the chaos and escaped in a fighter jet. Let them chase him down later."

"Just in case he tries to grab it back, don't cancel your current form yet."

"know."

"Who do you think the core is?" Lu Jinzhao took out a bottle of purple potion and poured it into his palm. He rubbed his hands and spread it evenly. Then he walked towards Earl and put his hand through his chest. He fumbled inside for a while and raised his eyebrows: "It's not with him."

Nox: "Go down and try Shi Feng and Mond."

"Okay." Lu Jinzhao, holding the silent Heri Kappa in his hand, flew towards the palace first, followed by Yiyi, Nox and others.

Yi Cen stretched lazily in the cab: "It's all finally over. It's not easy."

Nox agreed, "Yeah. I must have a good sleep later, and then have a big meal and have fun when I wake up."

Tumenquan's voice came from the military public channel: "Please enjoy yourselves, warriors. The expenses will be fully covered by the royal family."

Yi Cen whistled: "Great!"

When they arrived inside the palace, standing beside Tumen Quan were Wen Renjin, Tu Ling, the sober Shi Feng, and Mond who was tied to a pillar.

Without time to explain too much, Lu Jinchao did the same thing, reaching his hand into Shi Feng's chest, and also searched for a while but found nothing. He didn't believe it, so he checked Monde's chest as well, but it turned out that the core was indeed not in them.

Nox: "Tsk. Who did they miss... Could it really be that Jian Tingzhi?"

Tumen Quan and others didn't understand what they were talking about, but it was not a good idea to disturb them at this time, so they just watched silently.

"I don't know." Lu Jinchao looked up through the huge French window of the palace at the photon cannon outside that was about to be fully charged, and suddenly felt something was wrong. "It may be too late to capture Jian Tingzhi now. If it doesn't work, activate all the battleships and the protective shields on the surface of the planet, turn them to maximum power, and try to resist it?"

Tumenquan: "I will give the order immediately."

Nox shook his head. "It's useless. This thing was invented by a weapons fanatic and was originally assigned to us for missions. However, it was too powerful and often caused trouble, so it was banned long ago. I don't know how this guy got it, but I can tell you clearly that the barrier you mentioned can't stop it."

Chitose: "What should we do now? If we can't kill Heli Kappa, we can't stop accumulating power. If we want to kill Heli Kappa, we have to kill the red fog first, but we don't know where its core is, so there's no way to do it."

Lu Jinzhao looked at Nox and asked, "What will happen if the core merges with someone other than the host?"

"Normally, it is impossible for the core to merge with someone other than the host. However, those who cultivate by devouring evil spirits are considered special individuals. They may be able to temporarily reside in the souls of others, but it should be difficult to completely merge." Nox paused and said, "Also, there is a high probability that some soul rejection reactions will occur."

Lu Jinzhao: "Do you know what the reaction would be? It would be best if there were pictures so that Her Royal Highness could issue a notice and ask the citizens of the empire to report people around them who have similar situations. This would be faster than us finding a needle in a haystack ourselves."

"I don't know." Nox spread his hands helplessly. "I just saw this kind of explanation in the archives of the Administration before, but I haven't seen any actual examples. It was also mentioned briefly in the archives, but it wasn't clearly stated."

Tu Ling was confused and quietly approached Yi Yi and asked, "What are they talking about?"

Yiyi looked at her with an equally confused expression: "I don't know either."

Qiansui covered his head and shouted, "Can't this guy just jump out by himself? Doesn't he feel the rejection reaction?"

Heli Kapa, ​​who had been silent all this time, suddenly burst into laughter. "You will never guess who this person is! Even if you knew who he was, you couldn't do anything to him because the people behind him wouldn't allow it!"

This sentence revealed a lot of information. Lu Jinzhao and Nox both looked at Tumenquan and asked in unison: "Where is your father?"

Wen Renjin was confused: "Your Majesty is recuperating in another palace, what's wrong?"

Tumenquan was the first to react. Even if they knew who it was, they wouldn't be able to do anything about it. Isn't her father one of them?

Everyone present fell silent. If the person was really in the hands of Emperor Tumenqian, it would be difficult for them as his daughters/citizens of the empire to take action.

Lu Jinzhao: "Tell me where he is, and I'll come."

"You don't have to look for it anymore," a figure walked in from the door, rolled up his sleeves to reveal the hideous veins on his arms, "It's here with me."

Qiansui slapped his forehead and said, "Forget about him. He was captured, and there is a mermaid clan behind him, so it can be matched."

Seeing who was coming, Heli Kapa was furious in the bottle: "Why did you jump out on your own initiative!? Didn't I tell you that when I achieve my goal, I will naturally give you the person you want and ask you to stay here obediently?! What do you mean by jumping out now?!"

Erbiyi's eyes fell on the bottle containing Heli Kappa and he smiled faintly: "Because you got my wish wrong from the beginning to the end. My wish was never to get her, but to let her get what she wanted."

"Are you sick? I gave you the chance but you don't want it. Do you want to die?!" Heri Kappa cursed in the bottle.

Lu Jinzhao tightened the bottle cap so that no sound could come out. He handed the bottle to Nox and looked at Erbaiyi: "Do you mind if I touch it?"

Two hundred billion nodded: "Okay."

The effect of the medicine in Lu Jinzhao's hand had not yet dissipated. He walked forward, his hand penetrated Erbaiyi's chest, and successfully touched the spiky crystal in the void. His intuition told him that it was indeed the core of the Heri Kappa system.

Just as he was thinking about how to take out the core and destroy it, Erbaiyi grabbed Lu Jinchao's wrist, narrowed his eyes and smiled: "Do you mind talking to me? Just the two of us."

Qiansui pointed at himself and said, "I'm leaving too?"

20 billion: "Yes."

Chitose: “No!”

"Why? Are you afraid that I will hurt him?"

Qiansui choked, it couldn't say that it was really afraid of this, right? What if it got angry with 20 billion and walked away?

"I'll be back soon." Lu Jinzhao touched Qiansui's head and comforted him with his mind: "It's okay, I have the ability to protect myself, you can rest assured."

Chitose reluctantly jumped onto Otsuichi's shoulder and said with a pout, "Come back soon after we finish chatting."

After getting permission, Erbaiyi pulled Lu Jinzhao to the back garden of the palace. As they walked, he said, "It's so hard to talk to you alone. It's been so long, but this is the first time."

Lu Jinchao didn't know much about Erbaiyi, and he hadn't even asked his real name. He kept calling him Erbaiyi, Erbaiyi. To be honest, he felt very embarrassed when he suddenly came to this heartfelt talk. It was like meeting an online friend in person but didn't know what to say. He just wanted to take out his phone and continue chatting online.

In fact, if it weren't for the core's face, he would never let 20 billion hold him like this.

Seeing that he didn't answer, Erbaiyi started talking on his own: "You must be curious why I keep calling you sister. I did know you a long time ago. It's not a reincarnation, nor a substitute. It's you, Sister Anian."

"What?" Lu Jinzhao had more questions in his mind. What do you mean he knew him a long time ago? How come he had no impression of this face? To be fair, Erbaiyi had an outstanding face. As a senior face control, it was impossible for him to have no impression of this face.

"I can't tell you the details." Erbaiyi sat down casually on the lawn and patted the seat beside him: "Sister, you know, Earl's experiment is really painful. When I was tied to the laboratory table, they cut open my tail and extracted my blood. They did research day and night. I woke up in pain every day from a coma, and I always hoped that you would come to save me."

Erbaiyi smiled bitterly: "But you didn't come."

"I waited and waited until Heli Kappa summoned me personally. He told me that as long as I cooperated with him and put the core into my heart, he would hand you over to me after he achieved his goal."

“I was really moved by his proposal.”

"But soon, I suppressed that thought. I know you love freedom the most and you can't be willing to be trapped by anyone."

"I pretended to agree to it and succeeded in getting the opportunity to talk to you alone at this moment. I am very happy."

Lu Jinzhao looked at him calmly: "What do you mean by finally waiting for Heli Kappa?"

"What? I thought you would show some concern for me when you heard me say I was in pain." Erbium laughed at himself and said, "Just like you thought, I knew what would happen from the beginning. I showed up at the underground black market Brody just to wait for you."

"But," he changed his tone, "I still say that I can't tell you the reason."

Lu Jinzhao suddenly laughed, feeling absurd and ridiculous. He called him out to talk alone, but in the end he didn't say anything. What was this? Was he deliberately trying to keep him in suspense?

Erbaiyi held his hands with both hands and put them against his heart: "Crush it, and everything will be over."

"You will die." Lu Jinzhao did not forget what Heri Kappa had blurted out before.

"I know." Erbaiyi looked at him with a slightly pious look, "That's why I came here."

Lu Jinchao was almost burned by that gaze. Taking advantage of his daze, Erbaiyi used his sharp nails to dig out his heart, took out the core and gently placed it in Lu Jinchao's palm. He looked up at the cannon above his head, and leaned into Lu Jinchao's arms, saying softly, "Let me stay like this for a while, just a while. There are not many opportunities to be so close to you, please don't push me away, okay?"

"..." Lu Jinzhao clenched the core in his hand, tilted his head to look at the top of Erbaiyi's hair, and felt mixed emotions in his heart: "Are you stupid?"

"Hahaha..." Erbaiyi laughed heartily, "Maybe. But being stupid also has its advantages, doesn't it?"

The 20 billion people, whose body temperature was originally lower than that of ordinary humans, were gradually losing body temperature. Lu Jinzhao had looked up relevant information about mermaids and knew that the mermaids' only weakness was their hearts. He also knew that their hearts were hidden in layers of protective cavities. Unless the mermaids were willing, no one could touch their hearts. In addition, the only way to kill them was to bombard them with high-energy artillery.

He had a lot of questions to ask, but Erbaiyi just shook his head gently, telling him not to speak, and let him lean on him quietly.

Not long after, Erbaiyi lost the strength to support his body and slid down onto Lu Jinzhao's thigh. He looked into the distance with unfocused eyes and murmured, "Sister, don't forget me."

Without waiting for Lu Jinzhao to answer, his body began to turn into light spots and gradually dissipated.

Although it did not turn into foam as the legend said, it is equally unscientific to turn into light spots.

However, at this moment, Lu Jinchao had no time to worry about whether it was scientific or not. With mixed feelings, he crushed the core in his hand and looked at the red mist in the air.

The huge red mist with a cannon in its mouth suddenly began to twist and deform, and finally condensed into a red to black light ball, falling vertically downward. Seeing Nox step forward to catch and recycle it, he felt relieved.

The haze covering the sky over the empire gradually dissipated.
