The pet care she studied is the real animal control major, right?

Eve?

who is it?

Are you calling her?

The light pink liquid was thick and sticky and went into her nasal cavity.

Even though she could breathe now, she felt suffocated by the feeling of the glue-like liquid filling her facial features.

"..."

Suddenly, a voice came from her mind across the sticky liquid.

Familiar tone, familiar fuzzy sound...

Just as she heard in the wormhole.

——It’s the sound of that little white ball!

She could clearly hear its voice, but the words that entered her mind seemed to have entered another incorrect decoding system and could not be read.

Qin Jiu observed several experimenters at the bottom through a field of vision that was only the size of a finger's gap.

Several men in white lab coats were whispering to each other. The leader had gray hair and was holding a light screen in his hand.

I don't know what they were talking about, but the man in the lead suddenly got angry and shouted at a few young experimenters beside them.

Their voices came from the bottom and were almost inaudible after passing through the double medium.

Qin Jiu's gaze lingered on the badge on his chest.

A black rectangular name tag was buckled on his chest with gold-stamped lettering on it.

The distance was too far and Qin Jiu couldn't recognize the words on it.

but……

She is very familiar with this brand.

She had seen it more than once.

It is a brand of the castle experimenter!

But the one on the man seemed a little different from the ones she had seen on other experimenters...

She was just thinking about what the difference was between them when suddenly, her vision began to shake.

She was clearly aware that what was shaking at this moment was not her body, but her soul inside the body!

Her scream of terror was strangled in her throat, and the world before her eyes began to collapse.

Like a broken mirror, the crack in the center of the picture spreads out in all directions like a spider web.

The pink liquid, the huge water tank and the many experimenters were all distorted and deformed.

What immediately greeted Qin Jiu was endless darkness.

Qin Jiu sat up suddenly. Her clothes were sticking to her body because of a layer of cold sweat.

The feeling of suffocation from dying seemed not to have completely faded away, and she greedily inhaled the air around her.

She raised her hand and touched the underside of her nose.

--No.

—No pink fluid that blocks the airway.

She breathed a sigh of relief, came to her senses, and looked around.

Familiar door, familiar tables and chairs, familiar desk lamps...

She is still in the Wangyun Building.

The dream just now was broken, and all the images disappeared without a trace like the tide.

But the touch that lingered on her senses had not completely dissipated, blurring the boundaries between her dreams and reality.

Dream?

This is too real!

Qin Jiu suddenly screamed and sat up, which also startled Xiaosha who was sitting next to him.

Night is the time when the old man Xiaosha is most energetic. He has been observing Qin Jiu for a long time.

Ever since falling asleep, Qin Jiu seemed to be haunted by nightmares.

Her furrowed brows and increasingly rapid breathing were telling Xiaosha——

She was in pain.

Even in her dreams she was in agony.

Xiaosha walked to her side, tilted his head to look at her, his eyes full of worry.

Qin Jiu took a deep breath, and the confusion and fear in his eyes disappeared.

She rubbed Xiaosa's head and said softly, "It's okay, I had a nightmare."

The source of the nightmare is still unknown, but her intuition tells her that it must be related to the little white ball.

and also……

The scene in the dream was obviously set in a laboratory. She also saw the ID card on the experimenter's chest. There was no doubt that it must be a laboratory of the White Tiger Organization.

only……

Is that laboratory the second or third laboratory?

Maybe this time when she returns to the castle, she needs some reasons to enter different laboratories to look for relevant information.

Xiaosha saw that she was indeed fine, so he went back to playing the puzzle that Qin Jiu bought for him.

After all, Qin Jiu said that playing more educational games can prevent Alzheimer's disease!

He is also an old grandfather! He needs to take care of his body!

Because she was worried about Xu Zhongyuan's condition, Qin Jiu chose to stay here for a few more days. She would meet Xu Zhongyuan when he was in better condition before leaving.

Finally, with the help of Li Sen, she successfully entered the rescue team's territory.

The door opened in front of her and a familiar figure appeared before her.

Qin Jiu was not surprised at all. With a faint smile on her face, she said, "Hi, we meet again."

The person in front of him was Ling'er. As the only person in the rescue team who had dealt with Qin Jiu and knew her identity, it was completely expected that Ling'er would be arranged to be the rescuer.

Ling'er couldn't say that she trusted her very much, after all, she was a member of the plunderers.

But since the leader chose to let her join the rescue team, it means she is not a dangerous person.

Under her leadership, Qin Jiu stepped into the rescue team's territory.

Unlike the Plunderer's place, the decoration here is more calm and restrained, not as ostentatious as the Plunderer's place.

Qin Jiu followed her and began to inquire about the situation.

"Ah, how is Mr. Xu's injury now?"

Ling'er slowed down her pace, looked back at her, and replied, "I'm fine, but I still need to recover."

Qin Jiu breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.

The other party asked: "What happened to him? Why did he have such serious injuries? And those injuries..."

Although she only said half of it, Qin Jiu had already guessed the other half of what she wanted to ask.

——Those injuries were obviously man-made.

Qin Jiu: "Well... I don't know either. I only saw him 5 minutes earlier than you."

Ling'er paused, this time she stopped and turned back to look at Qin Jiu.

Qin Jiu also stopped with her and looked up at her.

Ling'er showed an incredible look on her face: "You... don't know him but are willing to save him?"

You know, since the turmoil began, the evil of human nature has been infinitely magnified.

He had valuables on him, and he was injured, so anyone who saw him would have evil intentions...

Qin Jiu shook his head: "I knew him. At that time, I..."

She paused and continued, "I just happened to pass by at that time and happened to see him hiding there injured."

Ling'er stopped asking questions and continued forward.

After arriving at the destination, Ling'er left Qin Jiu behind and stood outside the door waiting.

Xu Zhongyuan was wrapped in bandages and looked like a mummy.

He heard a noise and looked towards the door with difficulty.

The young girl in front of me had a long ponytail and her dark eyes showed no emotion.

She slowly walked towards him, with a hint of concern in her tone.

"Lieutenant General Xu, how do you feel?"

Qin Jiu was his savior. He spoke slowly with a hoarse voice: "Better now..."

Qin Jiu sat on a chair nearby and looked at Xu Zhongyuan's condition. She frowned and asked, "General Xu, how come you are so badly injured?"

When he heard Qin Jiu mention this, his eyes instantly turned cold, with a faint flame flickering inside.

"It's that bastard named Chen!"

Qin Jiu recalled the previous assistance at Yunzhanxing. She thought of the man she had stabbed and asked tentatively, "Lieutenant General Chen?"

"...Yes!" Lieutenant General Xu squeezed out this word from between his teeth. He took a deep breath and continued, "He hired someone to hunt me down. If I hadn't hidden in that trash can, I might have died."

"But...isn't his behavior against federal law?"

"Pah!" Lieutenant General Xu's movements were too intense, causing the wounds on his body to be strained, and his face instantly lost color due to the pain.

His trembling lips parted slightly as he spoke, "His actions were condoned! All my communication channels failed when I called for help. I only had a military terminal..."

In other words, the Federation assumed that he was dead and forcibly cut off the military terminal to prevent him from exposing information.

But he was still a living person, so why was he declared dead?

If this cannot be done through normal physiological monitoring channels, then human intervention will be used!

Doing so is not without risk. After all, it is a scandal no matter how you look at it, as it is using public power to settle personal grudges, and it happens within the federal army.

Compared to letting Lieutenant General Xu die at the hands of the alien beast, this approach is too risky.

The fact that they were forced to fulfill their desires in such a risky way showed that the matter was urgent and they could not wait for the next alien beast wave.

Lieutenant General Xu is the character they must deal with now.

Qin Jiu looked at Lieutenant General Xu with a questioning look in his eyes: "Lieutenant General Xu, did you... discover something that forced them to get rid of you?"

Lieutenant General Xu's pupils suddenly shrank.

"What... do you know?"

Judging from his reaction, I guessed right.

Qin Jiu shook his head and said honestly: "No, this is just my guess."

As Qin Jiu finished speaking, the room fell into deathly silence, with only the occasional "beep" sound from the monitoring system echoing in the room.

After a long while, Lieutenant General Xu heaved a long sigh and said, "Well, it doesn't matter if I tell you. Anyway, I am no longer a member of the Beast Taming Army..."

He tilted his head slightly, his face distorted due to the pain caused by the wound.

"I heard their conversation. They said... by next month at the latest, they would find a way to prove Edel's crime and execute him. The starting point is..."

His eyes flickered slightly, and he continued, "Village."

Village?

Qin Jiu lowered his head and pondered: "Is it the village on Wuluxing Mountain?"

"Yes." Xu Zhongyuan nodded slightly: "The method they are thinking of is too harmful..."

"what?"

"They were planning to attack people in the village and then frame Edel."

Xu Zhongyuan looked into Qin Jiu's eyes and said slowly, "Since you exposed your identity there, he is your accomplice and is here to clear the threat for you."

Qin Jiu: “!!!”

When Qin Jiu was in the village, only Laker knew his true identity.

Although other villagers called her a wanted criminal every day and assumed she was Qin Jiu, Qin Jiu clearly remembered that the name she reported to others was Luo Xiaojiu...

Moreover, the federal army failed to capture her, and they could not confirm whether Qin Jiu was still alive.

They just wanted to use this as a reason, a reason to convict Edel.

Even she was becoming more and more curious. How many so-called unspeakable secrets did Ivana have, and how terrible were they that he wanted to eliminate everyone who posed a threat to him?

Qin Jiu covered his elbow inconspicuously and pressed lightly.

There was a small red flower on it, which was something Rockoff left for her.

Could it be related to these secrets?

Xu Zhongyuan didn’t know what Qin Jiu was thinking. He was still worried about Edel and kept muttering to himself.

"If we let them succeed, Edel will be in danger... What should we do..."

Hearing this, Qin Jiu let go of his arm, and he could still feel the touch at the place where he had pressed Xiaohua.

"Lieutenant General Xu, don't worry. I will find a way. But you...can't appear in the sight of the federal army again."

Xu Zhongyuan took Qin Jiu's words as her comfort.

He didn't think Qin Jiu had any way to change the current situation.

But she was right about one thing.

He really couldn't be discovered by the Federal Army.

Where can he go after his injury heals? Stay here?

No, it's not safe to stay here either.

The federal army and the rescue team have cooperation. Although they are not affiliated with each other, the federal army will send people regularly. It would be very dangerous if you accidentally encounter them.

Qin Jiu naturally thought of this, so she went to see Li Sen before coming.

Qin Jiu: "Lieutenant General Xu, if you don't have anywhere to go for the time being, are you willing to stay in Wangyun?"

Xu Zhongyuan sighed and said, "I am willing, but the problem is the federal army..."

"You don't have to worry about that." Qin Jiu's dark eyes were shining, and she said, "You stay in Wangyun, but not in the rescue team."

Not staying with the rescue team?

Xu Zhongyuan was stunned and asked curiously: "What do you mean?"

Qin Jiu: "The looters agreed to reserve a room for you. They have no connection with the federal government and do not deal with it. Even if they live in Wangyun with the rescue team, they never run into each other."

Qin Jiu thought about it and decided to convey Li Sen's words.

"But they have one condition..."

"what?"

"They hope you can help them. Their fighting power is insufficient, and they hope you can fill this gap."

Xu Zhongyuan frowned and asked, "What do they need combat power for?"

Qin Jiu: "Deal with the alien beasts that escaped."

Xu Zhongyuan was stunned. This was completely different from his initial impression of this organization.

He pondered for a long time, sighed deeply, and said: "I don't care, but... my war beast is still in the hands of the federal army, I..."

"You don't have to worry about that." Qin Jiu's lips curled up into a smile, and something bad seemed to be brewing in his black pupils.

Xu Zhongyuan: “?”

I have a bad feeling.

Xiaosha and Guangming came to the wormhole again.

Xiaosha sniffed the air, then hid in a blind spot with his wings spread out to observe.

Qin Jiu gave them an important task!

Rescue Xu Zhongyuan's war beast!
