Losing contact with Lu Gui at this point is hardly good news.

"No news is good news in itself."

Mu Chen glanced out the window of Lu Xiaoyao's house. Ever since he witnessed Lu Gui and Zhen Hu being attacked that night, Lu Xiaoyao and the others were taken to the police station for a night. After they were released, they found a new place to live and changed houses.

The room is a bit bigger than before, and the view of the surroundings is clearer.

Even when Mu Chen said those rather convoluted words, he looked outside and came to this conclusion.

"Yeah, if there's news, it's probably bad news." Mingmei said this as if she had learned something bad from her. Lu Xiaoyao, who was already worried about Lu Gui's safety, couldn't sit still any longer: "So, is it good news or bad news?"

"Don't you understand? Since Lu Gui is working under Hai Ke, there are risks involved. If something really happens to him, such as if he is exposed, then it won't be as simple as just disappearing."

"Who knows, Haike might send people to arrest those of us who frequently contact Lu Gui right now. The fact that we haven't heard from him at this time might mean he's received some tricky news, understand?"

Jian Yunhe disliked Lu Xiaoyao. She couldn't understand why, even though they were both from the Lu family, and her father had died early and her mother was mentally unstable, the older brother could be so mature while raising his younger sister like this.

If she were Lu Xiaoyao, she would never act like this.

Whether it was envy or disgust, Jian Yunhe's complex emotional fluctuations made Mu Chen glance at her several times.

The Jian family of the Empire.

These few words flashed through Mu Chen's mind, but he didn't say anything more.

He turned to look at Mingmei, and recalled the scene when he had dinner with Mingmei, Mei Qiu, Hu Mingli and the other two young generals complaining about Jian Yunhe's grandfather.

Rigid, old-fashioned, and extremely stingy imperial miser!

However, seeing how boldly Jian Yunhe "professed her love" to Lu Gui, Mu Chen always felt that the Jian family was not as rumored.

"What are you thinking about?" Noticing that Mu Chen was lost in thought and that the atmosphere was not right, Mingmei could only whisper a reminder to Mu Chen.

"No." Qianqian Xiaoshou

He shook his head, saying nothing more, his fingers tapping lightly on the windowsill as he looked out at the night, an unreadable emotion flickering in his eyes.

The darkness of the dungeon always made them lose track of time, and they had no idea what Feng Li and Yu Kelian were talking about, or whether the two who had joined forces ahead of time could bring about an ending different from reality.

For some reason, Mu Chen thought of "Dawn of Blood," a game that, while altering the fates of a few characters, couldn't change the final ending of the story, and brought tears to everyone's eyes.

Will this game be the same this time?

...

Meanwhile, Lu Gui, who had been worried about everyone, was now quite unsettled.

The room reeked of blood, and several corpses lay on the floor. Just yesterday they were laughing and chatting together, but now they were all lifeless.

"Who else disagrees?!"

Hek sat on a special chair at the very back of the room, his lower body covered in seven or eight octopus-like appendages still stained with blood that hadn't dried, writhing and twisting restlessly, a stark contrast to his unmoving upper body.

"Boss, it's not that we disagree."

Lu Gui glanced at the trembling man beside him and hesitated before speaking. His eyes flickered, and he dared not look at Heike. He simply lowered his head and said in a trembling voice, "It's not that we're reluctant to help that human race, nor that we're afraid to follow you, Boss, to achieve greater success. But... but who knows if those insectoids who came to you harbor malicious intentions, wanting us to be their pawns, to test them, and to die for them?"

The man mentioned the insectoids he had a private chat with recently who could actually transform into human form, and a hint of fear flashed in his eyes.

The Zerg are already disliked by other races in the universe. Seeing that the Zerg can turn into humans and come here to conspire with them, who knows if they can turn into other races?

These Zerg are truly terrifying!

"Boss, even if this place isn't good, we can't just believe what those bugs say."

The man's words did not anger Heck, but as Lu Gui stood there, head bowed and eyes fixed on the writhing octopus tentacles, he understood that Heck was truly annoyed.

"Otherwise what?! If we don't believe in the Zerg, what do we believe in?!"

With a loud crack, the floor beneath Heck split open. Seeing the shattered floor, the man who had been trying to persuade him shuddered and shut his mouth.

Looking at such a big man, yet so timid as if he had been scared out of his wits, Lu Gui couldn't help but sigh.

Heck's prestige was so great that even those who called him a violent maniac and a fighting madman dared not defy him at this moment.

"That damned woman Feng Li, relying on her merman blood, has recruited a bunch of lunatics and even monitors them through the dark web; and that coward You Kelian, besides his handsome face that got him a wife, what else does he have? He can only make some mental soothing drugs, which is why he has such a spineless bunch of guys around him!"

As he spoke, Haike's voice grew louder and louder. Lu Gui looked up at the bloodshot eyes of the other man, who looked like he was in a very bad mental state.

"It's just a tranquilizer, what can't we buy with money? If all else fails, we can just grab the doctors and nurses from the hospital, anyone can do that!"

"right--!"

Lu Gui did catch some key words in these words: "mental relief." Lu Gui looked uncertainly at the crowd around him, who had been stirred up by Hai Ke's words. They were all people who were determined to follow Hai Ke to the death. Among them, the most fanatical and loudest shouters also had a faint red light in their eyes.
