Infinity: Others play games with krypton gold, I play games with krypton life

[Main quest progress: 90%]

[Hidden mission progress 80%]

Everyone's eyes were on the overly pale young man.

Many people heard that the young master had been in poor health to begin with, and now he was seriously injured. He looked extremely fragile and vulnerable.

It is really hard to imagine that this guy is the ancestor of the Inset family.

The ruthless pioneer in the legend led Inset County to rapid development in just a few decades and became a force rich enough to rival a country.

No one could have imagined that In.Insette was such a person... such a pitiful person.

Most of the people present were still in shock, and Wood was the first to draw his gun and point it at Newt.

"Leave him to me."

Newt reacted very quickly. He immediately stood in front and ordered his men to guard him on both sides.

The two sides were on the verge of a fight again. Ling Rizhao hugged the person in his arms tightly and leaned close to the other's ear and lowered his voice.

"When things get chaotic later, use the props to run away. I'll protect you."

Xiao Qianchuan frowned, "What about Group G's mission? Will the leaders of your Special Investigation Bureau deduct my salary?"

"You!"

Ling Rizhao's tense expression relaxed a little, and he pulled the corner of his lip. He understood that Xiao Qianchuan was deliberately trying to make him relax.

"Don't worry! The government never delays paying wages. As for the mission, don't feel burdened. The safety of the people comes first. This is the first rule of the Special Investigation Bureau."

Ling Rizhao's answer was irrefutable, and Xiao Qianchuan nodded.

This game is too difficult!

At present, it seems that the hidden mission is easier. As long as he gets close to Luo Xie's real body, Xiao Qianchuan believes that the other party will be willing to help him.

As for the main mission, as a key NPC, Newt is a stubborn person, and Xiao Qianchuan can't think of how to gain his trust.

Giving up the main quest might be a better choice.

Wood was very powerful, and Newt was not willing to be outdone.

But the person who can open the cocoon is on Newt's side, so he naturally won't hand him over.

The helpers that came with him this time were the royal guards who had been carefully trained for many years. Neither their equipment nor their skills were comparable to those of the peasant army who were stepping on manure.

If Wood wants to use force, Newt is confident that he will make it difficult for them.

But this time Wood was unexpectedly calm and composed. He did not organize an attack but led his men to retreat.

This unusual scene made Newt feel a little uneasy. He forced himself to speak sarcastically.

"General Wood, are you scared? The military has been suppressing the imperial power, which is a violation of the imperial power. The royal family is the legitimate right. Just back off. I don't want to embarrass you."

Wood suddenly burst into laughter. "Hahaha! No problem. I don't believe in immortality anyway. Since you want that evil thing so much, I won't fight for it."

Newt didn't believe what was said at all. Ling Rizhao's nose twitched slightly, but his expression changed drastically.

"He certainly didn't fight for it, but he didn't want anyone else to get it. He lined the hole with gunpowder."

Newt was shocked when he heard this, "Are you crazy?"

His men also looked around nervously. Soon someone noticed a lot of black powder scattered on the ground around them, and at the end of Wood's team, someone came forward carrying an oil barrel.

Xiao Qianchuan really didn't expect Wood to react like this. It's common to add fuel to the fire.

But what does it mean to add fuel to the fire?

He suddenly became curious.

But his life was at stake right now, and thanks to Wood's push, Xiao Qianchuan suddenly felt that persuading Newt to leave together might not be so difficult.

"Dr. Newt, if the fire starts in this underground cave, we will all die. Perhaps we can work together."

Newt's frown relaxed a little, and he turned around and asked, "What do you have in mind?"

"I know a way to get outside. Let your men carry the cocoon and I will take you out. After we leave the castle, if you set me free, I will give you blood."

Without much hesitation, Newt felt that this was a sure win. They were outnumbered and this guy wouldn't be able to cause any trouble, so he gave the order immediately.

"You guys go get the net that caught the fly, put on the cocoon and take it away."

As they were about to do so, Wood kicked over the oil barrel in front of him.

The charred, smelly, low-quality diesel was all over the ground. He held up a torch and shouted.

"Who dares to move?"

Newt scratched his hair. He really couldn't understand what this guy with a head full of muscles was thinking.

"Wood, what do you want? To die here together?"

"It is the Inset family that should be damned. If they hadn't been hiding such a secret, there wouldn't have been so much trouble. Anyone can be immortal, except that tyrant."

Wood became so excited that he raised his hand and punched the stone wall hard.

"Newt, you were also born into poverty. The sufferings your parents went through are still being repeated by many people. What killed your mother was not the disease or the doctor who refused to save her, but the tyranny of the tyrants and the privileges of the class. They seized the people's properties and fertile land, conscripted their fathers and sons to expand and invade, exploited the labor of women, the elderly and the young, and tortured the bodies and spirits of generations of poor people. Can't you see all this? The imperial power should have been overthrown long ago. The empire needs democracy and freedom."

Wood's accusation was so deafening that Newt unconsciously took a half step back and uttered a question.

"If we hand over the future of the empire to the military, will the people's lives be better? Who can guarantee that it won't be worse than it is now? Wood, you shouldn't be anxious. His Majesty is old. He won't live long."

"But he is still ordering you to find the elixir of immortality for him. The tyrant wants to live forever, and the suffering of the people will continue endlessly. Is this what you want to see? If you insist on being this sinner, then I will risk my life to end everything here."

Wood's tone was firm, and he was ready to sacrifice everything at any time.

"I want the secrets of the Inset family to remain buried forever."
