Chapter 51 Chapter 51 Actually, it should be fine for two people, right...

The instrument's sharp and cold alarm sounded suddenly, and everyone's expression changed slightly again.

The place they arrived at according to the coordinates had been abandoned for many years. What came into view was a large area of ​​unfinished buildings in varying stages of progress, and rusty decoration equipment thrown around, making creaking sounds in the wind.

"The energy fluctuations here are very abnormal. This area is evolving into a dungeon." The poker-faced young man frowned and looked around. The chaotic and densely packed deserted buildings made it impossible for him to catch any other figures in his field of vision. He said in a bad tone, "It feels a bit like the incident at the academy. It seems to be caused by humans as well. Could it be that he has cooperated with the mysterious organization full of cloaked men?"

Su Yuan didn't dare to look at Clay at this time. He followed everyone else and looked around in panic.

"This situation is quite serious. There are many residential areas nearby. They are not all card masters like the students in the academy. They are just ordinary people. If the dungeon area spreads, it will be difficult to avoid casualties."

Chu An's expression also became very serious, and he naturally noticed what Su Yuan had sensed.

After the people around them had decided to send only a small number of people to investigate further, Chu An said to Su Yuan, who had no way to return to his sea of ​​consciousness, "It's too dangerous. Can you stay here and wait for me first?"

Su Yuan hesitated for a few seconds and then nodded.

Before coming up with a solution, Su Yuan decided to pretend that he hadn't noticed anything.

"Clay, I'm counting on you." Before Chu An set off with the team, he entrusted Su Yuan to Clay, who would stay where he was.

Su Yuanmei's heart skipped a beat, but she wasn't particularly panicked.

The meeting about human-card love just now was not completely useless. He learned the information about [Following the Breath] from Chu An.

This is most likely the [Breath Guidance] of the sculpture's organ, which should also be Clay's goal. Clay is unlikely to expose his problem now.

On the surface, Clay will still play his role as the diligent vice president.

Clay, who had a cold temperament, glanced at Su Yuan and nodded in agreement, "Don't worry, I will protect him."

As he spoke, he extended his hand towards Su Yuan.

Su Yuan glanced at him with trembling eyelashes, and without any hesitation, she quickly raised her hand to touch him.

Clay's hands were as cold as he was, and the slight pain caused by the distinct joints on his hands made Su Yuan almost subconsciously want to pull his hand back when he was held in reverse.

But even if Su Yuan really tried to shrink back, he couldn't do so because Clay's hand was very strong.

Chu An and the others were no longer in sight. Su Yuan caught a glimpse of Clay staring at their clasped hands.

"This seems to be the first time we hold hands." Clay sighed with emotion.

Su Yuan didn't know how to respond, so he finally nodded slightly and said "hmm" as Clay said.

Clay continued the topic naturally, "Do you prefer to be held by someone's hand, or--"

But he paused inexplicably in the middle.

Clay's sudden pause was strange, and the tone and content of his next words were even stranger, "Being held by two people at the same time?"

The nerves on the back of Su Yuan's hand seemed to be compressed by something, and his fingertips twitched.

The man in the mask slowly raised his head and stared at Clay blankly.

Su Yuan saw the look in Clay's eyes behind his drooping eyelids. Even through his glasses that could cover a lot, he could feel that Clay's eyes had changed a lot from before.

Clay's expression seemed to imply that the problem he just had was not just superficial.

Su Yuan didn't quite understand the question as he slowly blinked his eyelashes, but the little animal's premonition of danger made him not even dare to react, let alone ask in detail.

Su Yuan didn't reply, and Clay's words came out again.

He looked at Su Yuan and said, "Actually, it should be fine for two of us, right?"

The white light that just happened to pass across his glasses just happened to block his eyes when he said this.

Su Yuan didn't quite see Clay's expression, but his face inexplicably turned pale, and he swallowed uncontrollably.

Su Yuan felt that the other party's question was both a real question to him and a question to himself. Su Yuan was a little panicked.

He didn't dare to continue the topic, frowned and changed the subject, "Is this the time to talk about this?"

Su Yuan complained quietly, "Everyone is in a hurry, and you are being irresponsible."

After hearing this, Clay paused for a moment, raised his eyebrows slightly, and then really shut up as Su Yuan wished.

Clay looked back at the scene.

Su Yuan also looked around again. The special magnetic field also caused the nearby optical computers to lose their signals. The guild members were unable to use the official account to send emergency notices. They could only rely on manpower to disperse the nearby residents.

Thanks to the very special and magical card abilities, this kind of emergency dispel is not too laborious.

Su Yuan looked in the direction of the guild headquarters.

This place was too far from the headquarters building, and Su Yuan couldn't see anything.

But he knew in his heart that the chaos at the headquarters was even worse than theirs.

After all, this is just a cover to lure the tiger away from the mountain, and the headquarters' "Listening Ear" is the real target.

But the optical computer is no longer useful and cannot transmit information happening at the headquarters.

Su Yuan glanced at Lu Zhu nervously.

The other party is currently surrounded by many people, and his special identity requires the guild to pay more attention to him.

Su Yuan tightened his fingers.

Clay shouldn't be prepared to do anything.

But this is not necessarily the case for Lu Zhu.

The team that explored inside came back soon.

"It may be because it is still in the early stages of evolution and has not yet officially become a copy. This area is not dangerous at the moment." The poker-faced young man described the situation. "We encountered a few puppets and cloaked men among us, but they are too familiar with this area, and we have too few people. Every time we meet, they quickly escape from under our noses."

"I suggest that we all act together quickly, while this area is still safe, and catch and kill them before something terrible happens here."

The people responsible for dispersing the residents just happened to come back.

The young man's suggestion was immediately rejected. Before Su Yuan could say a word to Chu An, the large group including Chu An left again.

Su Yuan remained where he was. Besides Clay, there were two other guild members around him.

They are responsible for keeping a close eye on the instruments that can detect the energy of the replicas.

When the value reaches a certain value and the area is about to undergo a qualitative change, a signal flare will be sent out in time so that everyone who has dispersed can rush back and gather here again.

Su Yuan looked in the direction where Lu Zhu left, her heart pounding.

"Why do you look a little worse?" Clay looked carefully at the bit of skin that was exposed on Su Yuan.

After Su Yuan found that his emotions were exposed, he knew that he couldn't deny it, "...Yeah, I'm a little worried."

After Clay pushed up his glasses, he suddenly said strangely, "I'm worried about Minister Chu An."

Su Yuan, who was racking his brains to think of how to fool the person, said: "?"

Why worry about Chu An?

He was worried about himself.

Su Yuan didn't know how Clay's train of thought worked. Why could he always quickly think of other people?

However, Clay's sarcastic remarks gave Su Yuan a reason.

"Yeah." Su Yuan nodded gently, "If anything happens to the card master, I will disappear too."

But Clay seemed to be undefeated again.

Su Yuan thought the topic was over, but Clay insisted on asking, "Is this the only reason you're worried about him?"

Su Yuan's heart skipped a beat in panic. He subconsciously thought that Clay had seen through his problem.

But on the surface, Su Yuan was still pretending to be stupid, "Yeah, could it be because of anything else?"

The next second, Su Yuan saw Clay's lips twitch slightly.

"Just to comfort me."

Su Yuan: “???”

Clay's mood improved a little. He originally thought that Su Yuan was worried about Chu An because he cared about him, but he didn't expect that Su Yuan only gave him a flimsy reason caused by the connection of interests.

Su Yuan looked at Clay in confusion, and when he saw that Clay was not going to say anything else, he continued to think about how to break the deadlock.

But until the light of the detection instrument turned into an ominous yellow, Su Yuan still hadn't figured out what was going on.

The flare that had been prepared long ago was triggered by someone's quick hands and eyes. Su Yuan could not hear the sharp and piercing sound that followed, but he could see the eye-catching blood color that appeared above their area.

Su Yuan raised his eyes and looked ahead. The first team to come back was the one that included Lu Zhu.

This time, Lu Zhu, with clear eyes, walked straight towards Su Yuan.

For fear of dissatisfying Su Yuan, Lu Zhu quickly spread out his palm, revealing the object emitting a halo inside.

"The Eternal Ring?" The guild member who stayed with Su Yuan pointed out the object and asked, "Did you get the Eternal Ring back?"

"Yes, but it's a pity that we only managed to get the [Ring of Eternity] back, but they still managed to escape."

Lu Zhu looked at Su Yuan with sparkling eyes and handed the [Ring of Eternity] to Su Yuan.

Others didn't react to Lu Zhu's behavior. This [Ring of Eternity] belonged to Chu An, and handing the card to Chu An was equivalent to giving it to Chu An.

Su Yuan had no reason to refuse. He raised his hand and let Lu Zhu place the [Ring of Eternity] in his palm.

Lu Zhu's eyes immediately brightened, as if they were filled with stars. He said expectantly and happily, "Then can I get closer to you from now on?"

When Su Yuan uttered the vague "hmm", he felt extremely uneasy.

A vague premonition told him that he couldn't wait any longer.

Su Yuan's heart was beating wildly, and he could only choose to gamble on the ability of his cards.

His fingertips trembled slightly, and Su Yuan raised his hand to trigger the random effect of his ability, but this time, he failed. Lu Zhu stopped him.

Lu Zhu looked at Su Yuan sadly and helplessly, "Did I do something wrong again?"

Feeling the faint force of shackles on his wrist, Su Yuan's heart was pounding, and he was completely speechless at the moment.

But Lu Zhu was not annoyed by this. He took the initiative to help Su Yuan out the next second, "Is it because I wanted to get close to you without asking you just now, and you felt that it was a bit abrupt?"

Su Yuan received Lu Zhu's apology.

"I'm sorry, I won't do this again. Can you forgive me this time?"

Su Yuan didn't know how to react.

He was keenly aware that Lu Zhu stopped him in time because Lu Zhu knew that once he let him do so, he would discover Lu Zhu's problem.

He had to find out.

And Lu Zhu also had to realize that he had discovered it.

Su Yuan's face hidden under the mask turned even paler, his eyelashes trembled slightly, and his pupils trembled as well.

In fact, it didn’t matter if he found out. Now it shouldn’t matter whether Lu Zhu’s identity was exposed or not.

But Lu Zhu still stopped him.

Su Yuan put down his hand.

Is Lu Zhu afraid that he will be scared after finding out?

Moreover, Lu Zhu was able to continue to treat him with the attitude and identity of the master personality, without any changes due to 'his discovery'.

Su Yuan felt a strange sense of horror.

He adjusted his mask in a somewhat awkward and panic manner.

But suddenly, Su Yuan's fingers moved slightly.

He suddenly discovered a problem. The reason why Lu Zhu thought this way and felt that he could find out by slapping was because Lu Zhu felt that the card effect he triggered would still be the recovery of the puppet link.

Lu Zhu didn't seem to know that the effect he triggered was randomly different each time.

When he faced Clay, he silenced him, and when he faced the main personality, he rebuilt the puppet bond.

But Clay and Lu Zhu didn't seem to communicate about the effect of his slap.

Although Su Yuan was not quite sure why neither of them said anything, he could tell from this that Lu Zhu and Clay did not have a good relationship.

Their cooperation is not particularly close.

Su Yuan looked at Clay who was standing aside.

Seems like it could be provocative.
