"Listen to your tone, do you want to do with us?" The leader looked at Xiang Ting with a smile.
Xiang Ting said humblely, "I don't want to do it, but they are reasonable to me, and I also reason with him, but if I encounter unreasonable people, I won't let my friends bully."
"You are crazy, boy! Want to be a hero, don't you? Don't look where it is!" The powerman who wanted to search for Lu Shijin felt that he had fallen face by Xiang Ting. He was a little ashamed and angry. He pointed to Xiang Ting's nose and scolded, "I have to search for him today. I think what can you can do!"
He clenched his fist and summoned thunder and lightning. If someone dares to touch Lu Shijin, he will hit him with thunder and lightning.
Just as the superpower stretched out his hand to land, they suddenly said, "Okay, stop."
"Children, what if they hide weapons?"
"I know it in my heart. Let you step down and retreat. Why is there so much nonsense? Are you the leader or am I the leader?"
The man didn't dare to say anything more. He stared at Ting resentfully before he retreated to the back.
The leader said, "Look at how you look like wicked people. Don't embarrass you first. Come with me to see our boss and see what he says about you."
Xiang Ting and Lu Shijin were escorted to this building like a concentration camp.
Along the way, Lu Shijin paid attention to it. It looks like a base for the gathering of powers, and the infrastructure inside is very complete. It has darkened. Lights have been turned on in several buildings, and the sound of engine rotation can be faintly heard. In the case of almost all power and water in the world, it is actually here. And electricity!
Others were surprised by Lu Shijin's reaction.
Who are the people living here? Unexpectedly, I am not afraid of human encirclement at night, and I can live so moist that it is like a paradise.
It's already dinner time. There is a bungalow-like building that should be the canteen here. From time to time, it exudes the aroma of food, and people come out after another after dinner.
Among these people are men, women, old people and children. When they passed Lu Shi, they looked at them with a curious and inquiryy look. Of course, there were also some hostile eyes.
Lu Shijin didn't understand what these hostilities came from, but he understood that the five of them should be unwelcome here.
"What the hell is this place?" Su Ling hugged Tang Qin's arm in fear, "Where are they going to take us?" Will it kill us? I'm so scared..."
Tang Qin's face was not good, but he still patted his girlfriend's hand to comfort her: "It's okay. Don't be afraid. I will definitely protect you."
"It smells so good. I'm hungry," Lin Dong stared at the canteen quietly. "I seem to smell the smell of braised pork with potatoes. Even if I'm going to die, can you let me have a full meal before I die? I don't want to be a starving ghost..."
Su Ling screamed, "I don't want to die!"
Lu Shi turned around and stared at Lin Dong, "Don't say discouraged words. What's dead or alive?"
Lin Dong curled his lips and said, "Well, my fault. I pray that the leader we will see later is a kind-hearted and good person."
Although Lu Shijin pretended to be calm, he was actually very nervous. As he walked, he rummaged through the cards in the system mall. In case these people really hurt them, he would prepare early.
After walking for nearly 20 minutes, I finally walked to the front of a two-story building, which was very quiet around. No one wandered outside. There were guards standing guards at the door. At first glance, it was a place where people with status could live.
Lu Shijin and others were taken into the small building and locked in an empty room with walls on all sides. They had to stand and didn't even have a place to sit.
There are blanks on all sides, giving people an invisible sense of oppression. The five people looked at each other in consternation and didn't know what they were about to face.
Fortunately, after a while, the door opened, and a group of people came in with a tall man. The man was about 30s, handsome and his skin was unusually white. He could faintly see the blood vessels under the skin. The color of his eyes was also very strange. The pupils were very black, occupying more than half of the orbits, and the orbits were circled. Red, I can't say that there is a strange sense of pathology.
Just like a vampire.
As soon as the man came in, Lu Shijin noticed that he was still wearing a pair of snow-white gloves. If it was not for pretending, there must be something wrong with his hand.
"Hello, welcome to the H base. I'm the owner of this base," the man spoke politely, always with a shallow smile on the corners of his mouth, but that smile, without a trace of temperature, made people shudder. He continued to introduce himself, "My surname is Gu. You can call me 'Mr. Gu'. I heard that you broke into our base by mistake, but recently our base offended a group of evil powers. They have been planning to retaliate against us, so we are worried that you may be spies sent by them.
Xiang Ting took a step forward, stood in front of everyone, and said calmly, "Mr. Gu, we are not spies. We are hunted down by zombies. Only when we have no way out can we break into your territory by mistake."
Mr. Gu smiled and said, "Oh, so that's it. Did you meet zombies? That's really a bunch of difficult guys.
Xiang Ting: "It seems that Mr. Gu has also met them?"
"Of course, not only have you encountered them, but I also know who made them," Mr. Gu read Xiang Ting's curiosity. Before he could ask, he continued, "It's made by our enemies. Some of them have the power to make viruses and kill people in this way to seize the crystal core, and this The group has no bottom line. If they encounter other powers who don't want to join them, they will be killed.
"Then we are less likely to be their accompés, Mr. Gu, look at us," Lin Dong pointed to his chubby face. "We are all honest people. Can we do that kind of crazy thing?"
Mr. Gu just smiled and did nothing. Obviously, he did not completely dispel his doubts.
He said whispered, "In this era, no one can believe it except himself. Because people's hearts are unpredictable, you can't just look at the surface.
Xiang Ting: "Then I don't know how we need to prove that Mr. Gu can believe our innocence?"
Mr. Gu stretched out his fingers and elegantly took off a glove. "I don't need your proof. I'll see it myself."
Lu Shijin stared at his hand and stepped back vigilantly, "What do you think?"
Mr. Gu looked at Lu Shijin with great interest. After he came in, he also noticed that only Lu Shijin had been staring at his hand and was a smart person.
"My power is mind reading. I can read your thoughts." Mr. Gu stretched out a hand to Lu Shijin, "Just put my hand on your heads."
Mind reading is one of the most advanced powers of all powers.
First-order mind reading can only read what others think in their current minds.
Second-order mind reading, you can read other people's past.
Third-order mind reading can predict the short-term future of others.
Fourth-order mind reading can control people's spirit and let others follow his instructions.
Going further, the more people can be controlled, the longer the control time will be.
At the ninth level, he can even easily control an army to do anything for him.
The power of mind reading is very terrible, and the probability of appearing in the power is less than one in 100,000, but the first three levels of mind reading are actually combat effectiveness. Only when it reaches the fourth level, the terribleness of mind reading will slowly be revealed.
However, the conditions for the advancement of power are very difficult, and a large number of crystal nuclei are needed to support it. At each advanced level, the number of crystal nuclei required doubles. As far as Lu Shi knows today, it takes 100 crystal nuclei to advance to the second order to the third order alone, and these nuclei are not only cold numbers, but also lively life one after them.
The emergence of a ninth-order power operator means the death of tens of thousands of human beings, so how can human beings not hate the superpower?
Mr. Gu, Lu Shijin, does not know how many levels his mind reading has evolved, but it seems that he can create such a big base, and the people here are extremely obedient to him. Lu Shijin guesses that his mind reading skills have at least evolved to the fourth level, which can control people's hearts.
The fourth-order power needs to absorb the energy of more than 1,000 crystal cores to achieve it. If so, Mr. Gu has killed at least 1,000 people. Can such a person be a good person?
This is not what Lu Shijin is most worried about now. If Mr. Gu put his hand on his head and read out his ideas, wouldn't all his secrets be exposed?
The truth that he is a time traveler must not be let anyone know!
Lu Shijin's face turned pale in an instant and staggered back.
When Mr. Gu saw Lu Shijin's reaction, he became more and more interested in him. If a person was afraid of his mind reading, it means that the more ulteriorant secrets are hidden in this person.
And he likes to read this ulterior secret.
Mr. Gu stared at Lu Shijin and walked towards him step by step. Just as Mr. Gu was about to meet Lu Shijin, Xiang Ting stood in front of him.
"I'm the leader of our team. Since Mr. Gu can read his mind and want to know whether we are spies or not, then read mine."
Mr. Gu looked at Lu Shijin and looked at Xiang Ting. The former was afraid of him, while the latter took the initiative to stand up to protect the former. The relationship between the two was obviously unusual.
Mr. Gu smiled deeper at the corners of his mouth, and there was no objection. "Okay, it's the same to read you."
He stretched out his hand to Xiang Ting, covered Xiang Ting's forehead, closed his eyes slightly, and the others stood around them, staring at them with great concern. Can you convince Mr. Gu that they were not spies, but he looked at Xiang Ting?
After a while, Mr. Gu withdrew his hand and looked at everyone's eyes becoming much more friendly. "I saw it. You did be attacked by zombies before you broke here. That's okay. It's all a misunderstanding."
Everyone was relieved. Lin Dong patted his chest and said confidently, "I just said. Don't you believe that we look like spies from head toe?" Wrong good people.
Su Ling was worried that Lin Dong's nonsense annoyed Mr. Gu, and secretly pulled Lin Dong's clothes to signal him not to speak.
However, instead of being angry, Mr. Gu apologized to them very sincerely: "I'm sorry, my people misunderstood you. In order to apologize, you might as well stay for one night and let me entertain you well. How about it be a compensation?"
Lin Dong and Tang Qin's eyes lit up. Is there such a good thing? They were worried that they would not find a hiding place tonight, but they were afraid of leaving here and beings beings beings. Now they are willing to take them in for one night. Of course, it would be better!
"Awe promise, Brother Xiang," Tang Qin came behind Xiang Ting and said in a low voice. "otherwise, it would not be safe to leave here."
Lin Dong also helped, "Yes, yes, I think Mr. Gu is quite upright. They kindly took us in for one night, so I still agreed."
Both Tang Qin and Lin Dong thought it was a blessing in misfortune, but Lu Shijin knew that Mr. Gu was by no means as simple as he seemed. He wanted to urge Ting to leave, but Xiang Ting couldn't stand his teammates' advice and had agreed.
Mr. Gu was very happy to hear them say they were willing to stay. He turned around and told him to go down to prepare dinner, and then said to Xiang Ting, "Go to the banquet hall and wait for me first. I'll go upstairs to change my clothes and come down."
Lu Shijin was taken to the banquet hall on the first floor, not the round table like the company dinner, but the king sitting high and ministers sitting under the king's seat in the ancient court.
It seems that Mr. Gu has become the king of mountains in his own base.
Xiang Ting noticed that Lu Shijin's face had been wrong since he had just now. He couldn't help relying on the past and asked carefully, "What's wrong with you?" Is it so ugly?"
"I always feel that it's abnormal here, and Mr. Gu. I think he is very dangerous." Lu Shijin whispered, "You shouldn't promise to stay. We should leave. Haven't you heard of it? You pay attention to nothing, neither rape or steal."
Xiang Ting was silent for a while. In fact, he didn't want to stay at first, but at that time, he didn't know what was going on. There was a voice in his heart that kept letting him stay, and Lin Dong and Tang Qin were encouraged by him. He agreed so vividly.
But it's all left, and it's useless to talk about it now.
Xiang Ting said, "If you leave here, it may not be safe outside. Let's wait and see what happens. After tonight, we'll leave early tomorrow morning, okay?"
Although what Xiang Ting said was right, Lu Shijin still couldn't convince himself to calm down. He had never been as afraid of a person as he was now. The more he thought of Mr. Gu's smile, the more creepy he felt.
After changing his clothes, Mr. Gu went into the banquet hall and sat in the main seat. Soon someone brought delicious food and wine to each table.
Mr. Gu raised his glass: "It's an honor for Gu to meet you today. Welcome you with this glass of thin wine. You're welcome. You're welcome. Please enjoy it."
The dishes on the table were fragrant. Lin Dong and Tang Qin couldn't help putting down their chopsticks for a long time and wolfed it up.
Lin Dong burst into tears while stuffing meat into his mouth, "Oh, my God, how long has it been since I ate hot dishes? It's so delicious!" What kind of fairy day is this!"
Lu Shijin and Xiang Ting have no appetite. The dishes in Table Mountain didn't move much. Lin Dong was strange to see Lu Shijin eating less. "Why don't you eat it, Xiao Lu?"
Lu Shijin glanced at Lin Dong, who was full of oily noodles, and said, "I can't eat it."
"If you can't eat it, I'll help you eat it," Lin Dong said with a smile. "Don't waste it."
"If you want to eat it, take it." Lu Shijin waved his hand absent-mindedly. Lin Dongmei ran over with a smile to bring the dishes from Lu Shijin's table back to his table.
Mr. Gu noticed the movement on Lu Shijin's side and looked straight at Lu Shijin, "Do you think the food is not tasteful?" It doesn't matter. What do you like? Just say it, I can ask the chef to do it immediately.
"No, I have no appetite and don't care about food. Thank you for your concern." Lu Shijin's eyes on Mr. Gu spontaneously felt a strange feeling of being seen through, and he hurriedly lowered his head and staggered his sight.
Mr. Gu noticed Lu Shijin's resistance to him, but he just smiled and didn't seem to be the case. Suddenly, he said to everyone, "Gentlemen, I heard that when I was outside before, I had a subordinate who was rude to you. I was incompetent. I'm really sorry. In order to express my apologies, I have If you want to give a gift to everyone, it should be regarded as a compensation."
"Wow, in addition to eating, is there any gift?" Lin Dong was overjoyed and whispered to Tang Qin, "This Mr. Gu is also very good, right?"
Tang Qin was also very happy, "Yes, it feels like visiting the local tycoon's house. I don't know what gift he is going to give us."
Lin Dongle said, "Who knows, but seeing that he is so generous, it must be a good thing."
Mr. Gu clapped his hands twice, and some of them came in from the outside with plates one after another. Five plates were placed in front of everyone in turn. Everyone stared at a plate. There were two diamond-shaped transparent crystals on the plate, with blue light.
Is this? Crystal core?!
Everyone's faces turned white one after another!
Su Ling thought that the crystal core was dug out of the human brain, so she couldn't help nausea and almost spit out the food she had just eaten.
Lu Shijin and Xiang Ting looked at each other. They were calm. They had expected that Mr. Gu would not come well, so now they are finally going to show the fox's tail!
Xiang Ting stood up and asked, "I don't know what Mr. Gu meant to send us this?"
Mr. Gu smiled and said, "Crystal nuclei can help superpowers evolve power. Compared with delicious food, I think these are what you need most at present. This is a world where the strong live. Only when they become stronger can they better cope with all kinds of dangers. The evolution of primary power only needs two crystal cores, which are insignificant to me, but precious to you, aren't they?"
"But...but only killing people can get the crystal core..." Lin Dong stammered, "Aren't you saying that you are the enemy of the evil power? Well, then, you, why do you still kill people?
"Who said that I got these crystal cores by killing talents?" Mr. Gu picked up the glass and took a leisurely sip.
Lu Shijin asked, "So what do you rely on?"
Mr. Gu looked at him with a deep look, "I rely on doing business with human beings and exchanging things for things, okay?" I help human beings deal with evil powers and provide them with protection, and they reward me for the crystal nucleus in the brain of the dead. Although the crystal nucleus energy in the dead's brain will be greatly affected, the most indispensable thing in this world is the dead. It is in this way that I maintain peaceful coexistence with human beings.
No wonder it can be not attacked by human beings here. It turned out that the two reached an agreement.
Mr. Gu sneered and said, "Mr. Gu, benevolence and righteousness, we have built this base to shelter us homeless powers. Everyone here is grateful for his kindness. Even if you get benefits, don't want to be grateful. You also doubt Mr. Gu's character. It's really abominable! If you had known that you were such ungrateful people, you should have thrown you out of the base and let human beings kill you!"
Lin Dong knew that he was wrong and looked down at the crystal core on the plate and whispered, "You can't blame me. You didn't have said earlier that this thing was given to you by human beings."
"So you can rest assured to use it. This is definitely not a crystal core obtained by subordinate means." Mr. Gu didn't mind the questioning him just now, and he said generously and kindly.
Lu Shijin and Xiang Ting are already second-order powers, and these two crystal nuclei are dispensable to them.
But others are different. They have always been first-order powers, because they dare not kill people and can't evolve for a long time. Now some people send crystal nuclei to them, which seems to fall into their hands. Naturally, they are naturally overjoyed. They pick up the crystal nuclei and hold them in their hands to absorb the power inside and feel the crystal nucleus brings them to their bodies. Changes in the above.
When the power in the crystal core is absorbed, Lin Dong, Tang Qin and Su Ling, look at me and stare at you, because it's night now, you can't use the power, and they can't tell whether they have evolved.
"Even if so, has it evolved well?" Lin Dong asked.
Tang Qin: "Should it be?"
Lin Dong doubted, "I don't feel it."
"Don't doubt that when the sun rises tomorrow, you will feel the change." Mr. Gu glanced at the crystals on Lu Shijin and Xiang Ting's table. He asked with a smile, "Why don't you two use crystal nuclei to evolve power?" After saying that, he knocked on his forehead with his hand. "Look at my memory, I almost forgot that the leader should be a second-order power, right?"
"Yes," Xiang Ting said without shyance, "so I understand Mr. Gu's kindness."
Mr. Gu raised his eyebrows and asked curiously, "I don't know how the leader evolved power?" Does it also rely on the crystal core?"
Tang Qin looked at Xiang Ting and said, "Yes, Brother Xiang, you haven't told us how you evolved."
In fact, Tang Qin had already wanted to ask this question. If Xiang Ting really evolved by relying on the crystal nucleus, where did his crystal nucleus come from?
If there is such a good thing to evolve by the crystal nucleus, why did Xiang Ting hide it from them and not tell them?
Of course, it is impossible to say how Xiang Ting evolved, but if he didn't say it, Tang Qin and others would inevitably doubt Xiang Ting.
"I actually evolved with the help of a kind-hearted man," Xiang Ting casually made an excuse and said perfunctoryly. "But I don't know the name of that kind-hearted man, so I don't know who he is."
Of course, Tang Qin did not believe this scene that only appeared in martial arts novels, and even believed that Xiang Ting deliberately concealed them.
At the beginning, it was agreed that blessings and difficulties were the same, but Xiang Ting knew the way to evolve power but did not tell them, and he didn't regard them as his own people at all!
Thinking of this, Tang Qin repeatedly became suspicious of Du Jiang's death and felt cold.
"So that's it. That's a coincidence," Mr. Gu said enthusiastically. "By the way, there are only five of you, and there are a lot of evil powers in this area. Would you like to stay for a few more days and wait until we destroy them all, and then you set out?"
Xiang Ting's idea was not as good as Lu Shijin's idea, so he simply refused him without thinking about it: "Thank you for your kindness, but you have given us enough help. I'm really sorry to stay and continue to bother, and we are also anxious to go south to find a self-help organization. Thank you very much. We will be careful with your reminder.
Seeing Xiang Ting refused, Mr. Gu smiled and stopped retaining him.
Tang Qin's face became more and more condensed. Obviously, they were a team, but Xiang Ting refused Mr. Gu's kindness before making a decision.
Lu Shijin secretly said something badly. The surnamed Gu was indeed a cruel character. A few words attracted mutual suspicion and intrigue.
But what he is most worried about now is not the collapse of the team, but whether he read the special secret of Xiang Ting when he just used mind reading skills to Xiang Ting?!
