Chapter 45

Unlike the pale cold light in the laboratory, natural light shone through the cracks in the ceiling, and the entire wall began to deform. The terrifying force opened the entire ceiling like opening the enemy's skull.

"boom--!"

The heavy metal plate was thrown out directly, causing a terrible and deafening roar. At the same time, a cold young man's voice came clearly from above.

"Found it."

The brown-haired boy was standing above the torn ceiling, his body covered in blood, as if he had killed his way here. When his eyes looked at the living creatures, they were like the pupils of a wild beast ready to pounce.

——In order to save as much time as possible, after Ursula, who was traveling with him, locked onto the malice, he directly chose to tear the ground beneath his feet.

The researchers who happened to be gathered under the gap in the ceiling and were now facing the enemy showed expressions of fear and unwillingness.

However, any begging for mercy is of no avail now.

Laboratories, white coats, offensive guns, and participants in human experiments.

——These keywords are enough to put these people on Xia Zuo’s death blacklist.

The brown-haired boy rushed forward without any hesitation, letting those people shoot at him randomly with their guns. His movements were swift and fierce. In just one breath, several dead people with broken necks were lying on the ground.

And César, who had been pointed at with a gun before, looked relaxed.

He wasn't frightened at all by Xia Zuo's frenzied state. He calmly leaned over and looked at the brown-haired boy, whose entire body seemed to be emitting a shimmering white light. He blinked and waved at him.

"Good afternoon."

He smiled as if nothing had happened and said:

"You arrived just in time."

The brown-haired boy's eyes immediately shifted to him and instantly lit up.

Just now, due to an obstacle blocking his view, he did not see the other person at first, causing his patience to drop sharply and his anxiety to soar instantly. Now that he found that his friend was not seriously injured, the heart that had been in his throat finally relaxed a little.

only……

Xia Zuo stubbornly turned his head away.

——He decided to ignore his troublesome friend for fifteen minutes.

Didn't we agree to take him with us when we had a mission? Yet he left on his own for such a long time and didn't even let them come to look for him!

Look how worried Ursula is—

Wait, where is Ursula who just helped him tear off the ceiling?

Xia Zuo realized it belatedly and turned his head to look at Xizel again, but found that Ursula, who had originally stood on the same front with him, had already thrown herself into the arms of the black-haired boy.

Xia Zuo:......

Xia Zuo:? ! !

Ursula, you have betrayed our sincere revolutionary friendship...!

He stared in amazement at the monster girl, who, relying on her small size, buried herself pitifully in the arms of the black-haired boy. The tentacles around her, which had been restless, gradually calmed down.

Xizel patted her head, his eyes calm and his voice gentle: "I'm sorry."

——But if there is a next time, he will still do it.

"Before reinforcements arrive, Xia Zuo, take all the information you can find."

César did not give the three of them time to talk.

Now is not the time to talk.

"Ursula, you go and assist him."

Ursula, who could easily calm down beside him, nodded.

She was not stupid and knew that staying here any longer would undoubtedly be dangerous.

They must leave as soon as possible.

However, Xizel chose the opposite direction from them and walked towards the place where he vaguely felt something was wrong when he was in the state of [Absolute Rationality].

Just thinking of that state made him feel more pain all over his body.

[Absolutely Rational] It feels great when you feel good, and you have no idea of ​​your own condition. Everything can be quantified and analyzed. But if you feel good too much, it will be like now, which makes Dr. John exclaim why he hasn't died on the spot. It's simply a medical miracle.

Xizel thought carelessly, but without showing any discomfort, and slowly walked to his destination.

"Siljoheim Ore."

He squatted down and removed the mat on the ground, revealing a small door underneath that was made of extremely familiar materials.

——And this material only has miraculous effects on creatures similar to Ursula.

This door seems to lead to a deeper underground. If I'm not mistaken, someone is imprisoned here...

"Ursula."

Cesar called out calmly.

At this point, because her emotions had stabilized, the girl, who had become almost normal, appeared beside him in an instant, her expression now expressionless instead of ferocious: "Is there anything you need from me, Caesar?"

Cesar blinked.

It seemed that after he forced Ursula to leave him, she became particularly indulgent towards him, with a sense of desolation as if "if I don't pamper her anymore, who knows when she will die."

He said simply, "Can you feel what's going on inside this door?"

Ursula shook her head. "No. I can only feel the ore."

In fact, the reason why she was able to bring Xia Zuo here so quickly was also because of this ore.

The black-haired boy glanced thoughtfully at the ore door, his gaze then settling on another spot on the wall. Then, as if he had memorized the script and the answers, he stood up and found the mechanism to open the door.

"The moment it appeared—"

César calmly triggered the mechanism.

"Use your instinct to devour it."

The ore door was slowly opened, and as it opened, a dark and frenzied aura began to leak out. Pure black tentacles stretched out from inside, and when they noticed someone nearby, they immediately wanted to launch an attack.

——However, Ursula had been waiting for a long time.

The moment she saw it trying to attack Xizel, she opened her mouth wide, and her mouth was as empty as a black hole that could not reflect any light. But in just an instant, she rolled those tentacles into black gas and swallowed them without hesitation.

While Ursula was devouring her "kind" to evolve, César lowered his eyes slightly, feeling the severe pain caused by the rejection of his ability, and recalled the feeling when he used [Absolute Reason].

Rather than thinking about what this buff brought him, he felt that this buff seemed to release something he already had.

In addition, the details that I didn’t pay attention to when my absolute rationality was turned on are very interesting when I think about them now.

——Why did the gifted person who used an axe as a weapon seem to go crazy the moment his eyes met his?

...Could it be that, in a state of absolute rationality, his eyes could see things that humans shouldn't be able to see?

Suddenly, his eyes paused, he thought of something, and calmly rolled up his sleeves.

I saw that where the original delicate black eye mark was, there seemed to be some complicated and strange patterns, and the eye also looked more vivid.

It was creepy, as if its eyeballs would move up and down in the next second.

--Eye.

When Ursula temporarily resided in the earring, she was in the form of an eye. His "family mark" was also an eye. Even the A-level talent holder went crazy because he looked directly into his eyes.

Perhaps, he should check out all the secrets about "eyes" in this world.
