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

"The average butterfly lifespan is 3 to 7 days."

"And the blue moorish butterfly, which has those beautiful wings, can only survive for less than a day after emerging from its cocoon."

Ling Rizhao looked at Newt calmly, his tone melancholy.

"Newt, you broke the cocoon with your own hands and cut off His life. There is no immortality in this world anymore. The secret of the Inset family will always be a mystery that cannot be verified."

Lan Bo was stunned when he heard this.

Newt, who was standing by, was struck by lightning and could not stand up and had to kneel on the ground.

The cold wind blew for a long time before he slowly accepted this cruel fact.

Newt covered his stiff face and rubbed it hard twice, regretting it for no reason. He staggered to his feet, his eyes clearer.

"The secret of the Inset family is not a secret at all, it's just a rumor. Immortality does not exist! I will tell your majesty personally that this farce is just the military wanting to monopolize the wealth of the Inset family. That's why Wood wanted to marry Miss Mantis, but Mantis was not chosen as the heir. In the end, the couple fell out, the brothers and sisters killed each other, and a fire broke out in the underground palace. The Inset family has ceased to exist since then."

"Even if His Majesty doesn't get the elixir of immortality, he has gotten rid of a big hidden danger in his heart. I believe he will forgive me. Even if he doesn't forgive me..."

Newt smiled bitterly.

"Even if I don't forgive him, he won't have much time left. Maybe Wood is right. Only when tyranny ends, the lives of the poor will get better!"

Lanbo opened his mouth again, not knowing how to comment on Newt's words.

Ling Rizhao smiled.

There was a hint of sarcasm in his tone that he himself was not aware of.

"Dr. Newt, change your career! You can write plays."

Hearing this, Newt looked up, extremely surprised, "You can actually joke?"

Ling Rizhao's mouth corners immediately drooped and he felt worried.

Ever since he was possessed by the evil spirit, he found that his words and deeds, his brain thinking and even his inner heart seemed to have changed imperceptibly.

Tiny, but enough to frighten him.

This doesn't feel very bad.

"Success! Pass..."

Lanbo suddenly shouted excitedly, then noticed Newt was looking at him suspiciously, so he immediately covered his mouth and moved closer to Ling Rizhao to report in a low voice.

"The system just told me that I have passed the level. We can leave now."

Ling Rizhao wanted to ask how Xiao Qianchuan was doing, but the sudden dizziness made him unable to stand.

"Hey! You...what happened to you guys?"

Newt watched the two people in front of him suddenly faint on the ground, and was so scared that he hurried over to check.

But after a thorough examination, nothing was found wrong with the two men's bodies.

Before he could ask carefully, the butler suddenly woke up, tightly grasped his hand, with an unprecedented panic on his face.

"What's going on? Why is there so much smoke in the castle? Is there a fire? Master! Where's Master Billy?"

Newt's eyes widened in shock, and he looked up and down at the butler who had suddenly lost his memory. He had so much to say but didn't know where to start.

But the butler had no patience at this moment, he pushed Newt aside and rushed into the castle.

"Hey! Don't go!"

The butler ran away without looking back, throwing all his gentlemanly and prudent manners out of his mind, with his mind and eyes filled with his young master.

How could he leave the young master?

Damn it!

Last night when the young master said he wanted to take a bath alone, he should have insisted on going in and serving him.

The doctor had clearly warned that the young master's depression had already shown obvious self-destructive tendencies, and he had to be extremely careful.

But why did he abandon his young master and run out of the door when the castle caught fire?

Gru couldn't imagine what kind of evil had befallen him.

"Master! Master Billy! Where are you? Don't scare me."

The smoke in the garden was so thick that it made it difficult for people to breathe and open their eyes.

Gru's eyes were red as he kept searching for the thin figure.

Suddenly he saw something at the entrance of the underground palace flashing brightly in the firelight.

Gru covered his mouth and nose and rushed forward, but was forced back a few steps by the fire.

"Master!"

His voice was hoarse and his eyes were full of tears.

He stared at the golden butterfly mask that he had carefully prepared for the young master at the entrance of the underground palace, watching it deform and melt under the high temperature of the fire.

As if his heart was torn apart, Gru was in so much pain that he knelt down in front of the gate of the underground palace.

"what……"

After a heart-wrenching roar, Gru arched his back and his head hung limply on the ground.

The fire kept burning, getting more and more intense.

After an unknown amount of time, Gru slowly raised his head and revealed a perfect and gentle smile.

"Master, you are finally free as you wished."

As the steward of Inset Castle, Gru knew that his young master had many secrets and troubles.

He wanted to share the burden, but he could only do his duty.

He was willing to do everything he could to make the young master happy, even if he could only stand behind him and watch from afar.

No matter how difficult or unacceptable those insect specimens that symbolize death are, as long as the young master likes them, he will find a way to get them.

After the master passed away, he invited the eldest and young ladies back to the castle. With their relatives around, he hoped that the young master would not feel so lonely.

The lively masquerade balls and the most gorgeous masks and dresses were all little entertainments that he had carefully designed for the young master.

But...but the young master still doesn't want to stay.

Gru stood up shakily, straightened his tuxedo, and meticulously brushed his messy hair back, then he walked calmly into the fire.

The raging fire burned his flesh. At this moment, which should have been extremely painful, his heart was actually cheering with joy.

"Master, I'm here to accompany you. Wait for me!"

The fire in the underground palace eventually spread outside.

There is no one left alive in the Inset Castle.

The lush trees near the exit of the underground palace were burning in patches. Thick smoke spread in all directions, enveloping the forest in a thick layer of fog.

In the smoke, a giant mantis with six legs cut off and its head smashed was burning with a crackling sound.

Suddenly a fireball fell from the sky.

It hit the mantis's abdomen hard, leaving a cut in an instant.

A hand suddenly stretched out from the bloody hole.

The hand looked slender and weak, but it had terrifying strength. With five fingers spread out, the mantis's hard plastron was torn apart, and then the other hand finally stretched out.

The bright red nails were brighter than the color of blood; they belonged to a woman's hands.

"If you want me to help you, just speak up!"

The fireball that fell from the sky rolled to the side and in the blink of an eye turned into a burly man in a red robe.

The man looked down at the hands, his tone clearly teasing.

If the live broadcast was still going on, the audience would definitely exclaim, who else could this iconic feature of fiery red hair standing up but the hot-tempered Lord Fire God of Jiutian?

"roll……"

Suddenly, a woman's low growl came from the mantis's belly. It was muffled and not harsh, but there was a lot of anger in the tone.

The man's lips twitched and he shook his head helplessly, but he did not retreat. Instead, he stretched out his right hand, grabbed the woman's wrists, and easily pulled her out.

A foul smell followed, which made the man frown.

"Zi Yan, what are you playing this time? It tastes so strong!"

The woman held onto the tree trunk and retched a few times before she had the strength to raise her hand and snapped her fingers.

Day turned into night in an instant.

Thick ink rolled down from the sky and splashed onto the woman, instantly transforming into a tight black skirt that wrapped her up.

The woman changed in the blink of an eye and became incredibly beautiful.

The whole person's expression and posture also changed completely, becoming dignified, sacred and unattainable.

She is the ruler of the night, the goddess admired by everyone in the Nine Heavens Divine Realm - Night Goddess Zi Yan.

"Wanglu, I believe you really didn't help him last time."

Hearing this, the Fire God Wanglu raised his eyebrows and said, "I've already told you that Xiaohe is being watched by the one above the Nine Heavens, and is also being protected by Luo Xie like an eyeball, so don't make things worse."

This situation was too embarrassing, and Zi Yan could not contain her anger.

"Shut up. Who asked you to come here and meddle in other people's business?"

Wang Lu crossed his arms, "You stole Fei Liu's place in the world, and he threatened to beat your head off. I came here to watch the fun, but I didn't expect that guy was just talking nonsense."

Zi Yan snorted disdainfully, "How dare a mere fairy who controls the power of the stars do anything to me?"

"Alas! Fei Liu is a good kid. Next time, don't..."

Before Wanglu could finish his words, the woman turned around and disappeared into the darkness.

He sighed twice, raised his head and yawned, inhaling all the flames burning in the castle into his mouth, then chased after the woman.
