Chapter 73 Threat

The robot and Ye Xuan were in a stalemate at the door.

Suddenly, the robot displayed a message on the screen.

[According to the notification from the higher-ups, there is something important to discuss with Xia Chenxi.] 】

The robot's screen flickered and returned to its original expression.

"Can you let me in now?"

The notification from the higher-ups came to Xia Chenxi, and after thinking about it, it was about Nan Yunzhou's incident in the afternoon.

Ye Xuan opened the door and made way for the robot to enter.

"Ye Xuan, why did you let it in?"

Xia Chenxi watched the robot walk up to him.

The robot put his hands in his pockets and smiled wickedly.

"Xia Chenxi, don't be so mean to me. I just asked you for a hundred yuan for service fee last time."

"One hundred service fees, what one hundred service fees?" Ye Xuan was confused.

The robot spun smoothly and stopped. "It was you last time..."

Xia Chenxi kicked the robot down and said, "Let's talk business. If nothing else, leave quickly."

The robot fell to the ground and cried miserably, "Xia Chenxi, you have such a cruel heart."

Xia Chenxi: “…”

Did the engineers who built this robot implant drama mode in it?

Ye Xuan helped the robot up and touched its head with a smile.

"If you keep talking nonsense, I'll have to ask you to leave."

"Okay, okay, let me get down to business." The robot backed off.

He stepped back and drew a confidential document on the wall.

"What is this?" Ye Xuan asked.

The robot said arrogantly: "You can't read. This is a confidential book."

Xia Chenxi kicked the robot down again and said, "Speak properly."

The projection on the wall tilted as the robot fell, and Ye Xuan tilted his head to look at the words on it.

[…What happened during the challenge must be kept secret. If leaked, you will be punished by the base…]

No one came to help it, and the robot reluctantly got up from the ground and straightened itself.

"The base wants you to sign this contract. The specific punishment includes deducting your virtual funds, indefinite confinement, and also..." The robot's voice faded, "including your parents."

"What did you say!" Ye Xuan flashed in front of the robot and grabbed it, "If I don't sign, the base will take action against my parents!"

The robot was frightened by Ye Xuan's reaction and said hesitantly: "Not really, maybe it's just that we can't live in the family compound and have to be arranged to live in the mine. The base won't be so cruel."

"Oh, the mine." Ye Xuan's tone was sharp. He couldn't stand being threatened by his parents. "Is a mine a place for people to stay? Sending people there would mean a slow death."

Xia Chenxi put his hand on the robot's crown, "You want to be cut into pieces before you die, right?"

With threats on its head and neck, the robot wanted to cry but had no tears. "I am just a messenger. It is useless even if you tear me into parts. If you tear me apart, someone else will come after you. Why don't you read the contents of the confidentiality agreement before making a decision?"

Although this robot looks annoying, what it says does make sense. The base has sent a robot that is easy to talk to to test their reactions. If this robot is driven away, the base may send a more difficult one next time.

After weighing the pros and cons, Xia Chenxi gently pried Ye Xuan's hand off the ground and helped him to his side.

"Calm down first. The base is just giving us a warning. Let's take a look at the content first. If it can be resolved with just a signature, we shouldn't complicate it."

Xia Chenxi's steady voice calmed Ye Xuan down, and he nodded.

The two began to study the confidential book.

Although the confidential book is long, the entire text only reveals one message: do not leak the news of Nan Yunzhou's second supernatural power.

Ye Xuan gave Xia Chenxi a look, and Xia Chenxi understood what he meant. He controlled the robot that was pretending to be dead.

The robot struggled in the air, screaming: "What are you doing? Murder, murder of the robot!"

Ye Xuan searched and saw the button at the bottom of the robot. He pressed and held it to force it to shut down.

The room fell quiet, and the robot in Xia Chenxi's hand became a tin bucket, and he threw it aside.

Ye Xuan sat next to Xia Chenxi and asked him what he thought.

"Just looking at the contents of the confidentiality agreement, it's fine. There is only one condition, that we sign it and keep it confidential. Overall, signing it is the best option at the moment."

Ye Xuan was still worried, supporting his head with his hands on his knees, "The base is not a country, and the rules are made by a few top leaders. They can change their minds if they want."

"I know you have concerns, but if the base really wants to silence us, they can just find another excuse and say that we had an accident during the mission, and no one will find out." Xia Chenxi patted Ye Xuan on the back, "If you live under someone else's roof, you will be restricted by them everywhere."

Ye Xuan covered his face. Once a person has a weak spot, there is really nothing he can do.

"Don't worry too much. The base's actions this time have ulterior motives. They are just to warn us. As long as we don't touch the interests of the base, the base will not touch us casually. Losing two psychics in one breath is not a good thing for the base." Xia Chenxi analyzed to Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan raised his head, turned to Xia Chenxi, and asked, "Nan Yunzhou's second ability is a psychic ability, right?"

Xia Chenxi nodded, "I'm sure it's a psychic ability, but unlike his lightning ability, he can't control his psychic ability freely. He was confused when he used his psychic ability on me."

Ye Xuan stared at one place in fascination, "So, the base is afraid that this news will affect the dignity of the special forces?"

"I don't think so. The title of the special forces team has already deterred many people with special abilities. Even if Nan Yunzhou's psychic abilities are flawed, no one dares to discuss it openly."

Ye Xuan heard the hidden meaning in Xia Chenxi's words, "You mean the base is hiding Nan Yunzhou's second superpower." He has ulterior motives.

Xia Chenxi covered Ye Xuan's mouth and whispered to him: "Shh, be careful, there are ears on the other side of the wall."

Ye Xuan blinked and nodded, and Xia Chenxi let go of his hand and said, "The base doesn't want us to explore too much, so we will do as the base wishes."

At least that's what it appears to be on the surface.

Ye Xuan agreed with Xia Chenxi: "Okay, I'll listen to you."

He picked up the robot with a black screen on the ground and turned on the switch underneath it.

As soon as it was turned on, the robot screamed like a pig being slaughtered: "Help, help, help, help, the robot is going to die!"

Ye Xuan put the robot on the ground, and Xia Chenxi slapped the robot on the forehead: "Stop screaming, no one wants to kill you."

"Huh." The two dots on the robot's screen grew larger and it glanced down. "Oh, God bless me. I thought I was missing some limbs."

Ye Xuan squatted in front of it and poked his forehead with his index finger: "It's not God who blesses you, it's us who let you go out of our kindness."

"Haha, thank you so much." The robot changed the subject and asked, "Have you made up your mind? Do you want to sign?"
