Chapter 947: It would be a pity not to break such a leg
Lu Xin had thought that the journey to the sleeping mountains would be a drive.
Or take a plane.
However, he didn’t expect that the Research Institute, which had the most advanced technology in the world, would choose such simple tools.
A carriage!
The two carriages had a spacious carriage, a shiny black surface, and a large and narrow tire that was obviously made of extraordinary materials.
There was also a lantern with candlelight and a Bell that glowed with oil hanging in front of each car.
There were even reins and whips in front.
However, the thing pulling the carriage was not a horse, donkey, or mule. Instead, it was a crawling monster with a slender body and covered in fine scales.
The only difference it had from ordinary monsters was that it had two rows of eyes on its back.
In addition, it had four claws, each with five toes. They were thick and powerful, and they held the ground very well. They looked a bit like mutated human hands.
The infiltrators gathered around the carriage, rubbing their feet against the ground.
Some of them jumped onto the monster’s back, looking like an old driver.
“Let’s go!”
Professor an and Lu Xin sat in the front carriage, while the other five squeezed into the back.
She lazily picked up the walkie-talkie on her collar and gave an order. Then, she stretched out her long legs and rested them on the chair.
Lu Xin had no choice but to pull himself closer to the car, trying his best to maintain his composure.
He looked out of the window and saw professor an giving the order. The lurker on the back of the monster snapped its fingers, and the two monsters with eyes on their backs immediately pounced.
Immediately, faint spiritual vortexes appeared around the two carriages.
Then, the car rumbled forward and entered the dark red abyss the moment it moved.
The surrounding lurkers began to run wildly.
The two carriages, pulled by the two spiritual monsters, quickly passed through the abyss.
The surrounding scenery was blurry and ever-changing.
The Black Horse carriage, on the other hand, had a strange sense of reality, moving forward from the illusion.
This scene had an indescribable strong contrast, but on another level, it was unusually harmonious.
..
..
our destination this time is to pass through the abyss directly and go beyond the forbidden line that we have analyzed before. Then, we will rely on our two sexy, slender, and powerful legs to cross mountains and rivers, pass through the dark jungle, and reach the old site of the Research Institute.
sigh, I can’t even drive. After all, there aren’t even any decent roads there. It’s dry and rough.
“..”
Lu Xin nodded, thinking that he had understood what professor an was trying to say. Suddenly, he saw professor an smirking at him.
Suddenly, he realized that he might not have understood.
Seeing Lu Xin’s embarrassed look, professor an couldn’t help but smile.
“However, let’s talk about the flirting later. Let’s talk about business first.”
I have my own mission to investigate the ruins of the Research Institute this time, and I think you have your own purpose as well. But don’t forget, you were hired as a consultant for our investigation team, so you’ll listen to our advice, right? ”
“The flirting …”
Lu Xin tried to move his body uncomfortably, but professor an’s legs pressed against his.
But when it came to business, he still nodded.
She had always had good professional ethics. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have allowed her to snatch her space.
If he could even bear with her legs, what was the point of listening to other suggestions?
“Simply put, I want to make a three-point agreement with you.”
Professor an looked at Lu Xin with a serious expression, “”There were too many secrets in the red Moon Research Institute back then. No matter what level of power we had, it was difficult to remain unaffected in that strange place. There are also times when the powerful forces we control are more likely to be used by some strange things there to cause greater damage.”
“For example …”
“You encountered an opponent and successfully dealt with it, but in the blink of an eye, you discovered …”
“The ones you’ve finished off are actually our companions.”
“..”
Lu Xin gave it some serious thought, and his heart skipped a beat. It did seem like that was a possibility.
He had never been completely immune to the contamination.
At most, he could only wake up faster than others at certain times.
However, at a critical moment, even if he was only affected or contaminated for half a second, it was enough to make him make a huge mistake.
His strength had indeed improved. In the past, it would take him a few seconds to destroy a spiritual body or a person. Now, he had the ability to kill all the spiritual creatures in his sight in less than half a second.
Humans were also included in the scope of this spiritual creature.
Professor an’s reminder was timely.
With the increase of his ability, it was inevitable that his confidence would swell and he would be negligent of his surroundings.
This was indeed a huge problem.
..
..
“I’ll be honest with you. It’s really comfortable to work with someone like you.”
Professor an looked at Lu Xin’s serious expression and knew that he had understood his words.
His usually not-so-serious face actually had a bit of emotion. That was true admiration.
Lu Xin felt a little embarrassed when he noticed the gazes on him, but he also felt a sense of genuine happiness.
Compared to her usual fake perverted look, he liked her heartfelt approval and praise more. Every person with professional ethics, who was serious and responsible for their work, should like this kind of approval expression, right?
“What are the three rules you mentioned?”
He suppressed his happiness and asked professor an in a serious tone.
“Number one.”
Professor an smiled and looked at him. unless you have no other choice, you can’t use your ability.
in a place full of strangeness and mystery, there are two reasons for using one’s ability casually. One, it might bring unnecessary risks.
second, it’s no different from exposing our trump cards, giving our opponents more opportunities to target us … Perhaps you don’t understand, but there are many abilities in this world that are designed to deal with high-level aptitude users. They are extremely dangerous.”
just like in the old civilization, a madman once said that he could move the earth if he was given a fulcrum.
“In the field of spiritual mutation, there are also many low-level abilities. With just a single opportunity, a high-level ability user can make a big mistake.”
“..”
Lu Xin nodded, but he couldn’t help asking, “”What if we run into danger?”
“There’s a trace of it.”
Professor an pointed to the back of the carriage and said, ” she’s our bodyguard. She’ll handle most of the problems.
“That little girl …”
Lu Xin was slightly surprised. He still found it difficult to associate her figure with the word “bodyguard.”
“The second.”
“Don’t meddle in other people’s business without my permission,” professor an said.
“Ah?”
Lu Xin asked in surprise.
It wasn’t because of how tricky the agreement was, but why was such a thing listed as a condition?
“Because you have humanity.”
Professor an’s narrow eyes revealed a hint of insight. He chuckled and said, ”
I don’t know much about your situation, but I can guess some of it.
[ you possess a human nature like a normal person, and you maintain a strange balance. ]
but please don’t think of this as a good thing. In fact, human nature has always been the weakness of ability users …
in this world, there are too many abilities that can wrap some dangerous things under a beautiful appearance.
“Your humanity will make it impossible for you to turn a blind eye to such things.”
but a dangerous fishing hook is waiting for you inside …
“..”
At this point, she paused for a moment and continued, “”That’s why I’m going to make an agreement with you.”
“Perhaps there are some things that you can’t just ignore, but you must remember one thing. You must first communicate with me before you make a decision.”
“..”
“..”
Lu Xin had no choice but to admit that professor an was telling the truth.
He couldn’t reject this condition, so he nodded and looked at professor an with a questioning expression.
“The third.”
A satisfied smile appeared on professor an’s face as he continued, “”No matter what we encounter, we must prioritize the results of the investigation.”
“Yes.”
There was nothing special about this sentence, so Lu Xin simply nodded his head.
Seeing that he wasn’t serious, Dr. An said, “”If you break the rules, you’ll get your money deducted.”
“What?”
Lu Xin couldn’t help but look at her with a serious expression.
when I said no matter what I encounter, I really meant no matter what I encounter …
Professor an chuckled. for example, if you’re faced with a difficult choice. One of the choices is that you might be able to obtain valuable information, and the other is that someone in our investigation team, including me, is facing a life-and-death crisis. In such a critical time, I hope you can choose to obtain valuable information and successfully bring it to the Research Institute.
“This …”
Lu Xin felt that this condition was not in line with his principles.
His face revealed a difficult expression, but he still nodded, and said,”I know, I’ll try my best.”
Professor an did not agree unconditionally, but he seemed to be relieved.
He nodded and said, ” with these three conditions, there’s nothing else to say. For such a mysterious place, we can’t even dream of meeting everyone. We just want to give full play to our abilities.
“The rest will depend on our luck …”
“..”
“Is it luck?”
Lu Xin felt a little strange when he heard the term from the researcher.
The researchers who believed in data the most and always maintained rational thinking would actually place their hopes on luck …
He wanted to say something to break the silence, but he didn’t know what to say.
Lu Xin glanced at the pair of long legs that professor an had extended to his side, and after a moment of silence, he said, ”
“Keep your leg.”
“..”
Professor an glanced at him and lazily said, “”Don’t I look good?”
we don’t know if we can come back alive from this mission. Why don’t you take a look at the woman’s legs while you’re still alive? ”
“..”
“No…”
Hearing her words, Lu Xin explained awkwardly, “”You’re squeezing me …”
my human nature isn’t that stable right now. If I can’t help it …
“..”
Professor an’s eyes suddenly lit up, as if he was looking forward to it.
Then, Lu Xin answered honestly, ” if I break your legs, it won’t be easy to move …
“..”
Professor an looked at him deeply and silently retracted his leg.
