The house was decorated very differently from where she lived; it seemed more like the small building of the Cen family, the deer-headed man, in the underground street, and the decoration was exceptionally luxurious.

Gu Li even saw the plaster statue that was displayed in the living room. Its style was quite fitting for the place. She just didn't know whether Shi had done it willingly or unwillingly.

As soon as the two stepped through the door, they were met with countless pairs of eyes. Gu Li was startled by the bizarrely ugly pupils of the mutated people, and then pretended to be nonchalant as she stepped forward.

An anonymous blue-ringed octopus, who had arrived first, let out an arrogant laugh: "Hahaha, it must be because you bunch of bastards are too ugly that you scared our little girls!"

Gu Li's steps turned smoothly as he walked towards that direction, and he sat down next to a small brown animal whose body was covered with weapons. He picked up a knight's sword and examined it.

Why put the weapon on Angor?

Gu Li's expression was strange. Angel was still sleeping with his eyes closed, looking completely at ease, as if he wouldn't flinch even if Mount Tai collapsed in front of him.

Just looking at this little brown creature seemed to calm my mood.

On the other side, Lancer and Levi, who were causing trouble and starting to argue, were about to clash. At this moment, they were making use of their tentacle monster advantage, with all their tentacles dancing wildly in the air. All they could see were afterimages of the fight and afterimages with a hint of blue fluorescence.

"What's wrong with you, you stupid octopus! You've missed me so much after not seeing me for so long?"

Levi's face darkened, and he sped up, kicking the man's backside several times, gritting his teeth: "Show me some respect! Miss Gu Li is the king's representative! Don't joke around!"

"How could she possibly be scared by us? Miss is a special human who remained unfazed on the very first day we surrounded her!"

Gu Li held the cup Eric handed her, took a small sip, and felt a little guilty. Back then, when everyone was about to die, who cared what kind of ugly people they looked!

As for now, putting aside the filters, Gu Li, who can occasionally see their true appearance, has actually gotten used to it and even envies most of the people present who have a 360-degree view.

This is so convenient!

There's absolutely no need to worry about enemies attacking from behind.

When she was being beaten up by tentacles at Wang's place, she specifically asked him if she could also mutate a pair of eyes on the back of her head. She remembered that Wang was silent for a long time at that time, but still firmly refused her.

Gu Li sighed with some regret as she thought about this.

Holding her knight's sword in her hand and using the scabbard to block between the two octopuses, she sighed with her hands on her hips: "You've fought enough, shouldn't you stop now?"

The scabbard pierced the space between the two, aligning with the trajectory of the next attack. Levi silently withdrew his tentacles, cleared his throat, and said in a steady and reliable voice, "Miss, I apologize for the spectacle. Please allow me to throw this disrespectful creature away."

Gu Li: Where exactly is it reliable?

She swiftly stepped on Lancer's restless tentacles with her foot and pushed Levi's large head back with her other hand: "Then stop fighting. Isn't the most important thing now to discuss a strategy?"

Gu Li coughed lightly and said helplessly, "I know absolutely nothing about the so-called silent period right now."

The door suddenly opened, and the deer-headed man, now dressed in a more formal and dignified suit, walked in, carrying a book in his white-gloved hands.

Cen Xingbang glanced around, and those who were seen silently sat up straight. Lancer and Levi exchanged a glance, then simultaneously scoffed and sat back down.

When the deer-headed man entered, Gu Li saw Eric suppress his smile and bow slightly, and thought to himself, "Wow, it seems Mr. Cen holds a very high position in everyone's hearts."

The living room was filled with people sitting on the sofas arranged in a circle. Gu Li was led by the deer-headed man to sit in the center. She shifted uncomfortably in such a formal setting.

Eric, sitting beside her, glanced down at her and patted her back lightly with his hoof.

On the other side, Levi grinned at her, and dozens of pairs of eyes crinkled together. Gu Li silently looked away.

The deer-headed man standing in the center of the curved sofa nodded slightly to her, then clapped his hands. In front of the fireplace facing the sofa, a red banner was pulled flat by an invisible hand.

The words "Elite Combat Conference of Alien City" written in bright yellow on it blinded Gu Li.

What's even more terrifying is that she heard the heartfelt praise from everyone around her, even Eric, who seemed to have the best taste, sitting next to her, was nodding slightly in admiration.

There's a sense of helplessness in Taniguchi when a serious, action-packed anime suddenly turns into a comedic slice-of-life anime.

She gently pressed her forehead, and finally heard the deer-headed man get to the point.

"The period of silence that occurs every ten years is crucial to the survival of the alien city. Each period of silence signifies the retreat of the sun and moon, and the imminent arrival of a polluted tide so intense that it brings endless darkness."

Cen Xingbang opened the book in his hand and looked at Gu Li through his thin glasses: "Under such pollution, countless alien species are born. Non-alien species will be infected, and we in the alien city will strive to win in the struggle between instinct and reason."

“You are all the advanced species who have lasted the longest in the city of alien species. You are very likely to lose your minds and become monsters in the tide of pollution. My suggestion is that you follow Miss Gu Li to the main battlefield.”

As Gu Li's eyes widened in surprise, the deer-headed man continued firmly, "If necessary, we will pave the way for Miss Gu Li."

"No……"

The deer-headed man's deep, clear eyes looked at the astonished Gu Li, and he said calmly, "This decision was made to protect more people, and Miss Gu Li, what you need to do is to retrieve the familiars that stirred up the tide."

Eric whispered in her ear, “The Familiars are the most alien of all. They are born from pollution, yet possess inhuman intelligence and power. Most of their mission is to invade more clean soil.”

Gu Li slowly absorbed what the two of them said, his eyes sweeping over everyone present, and he was surprised to find that they were listening very attentively.

It seems as if I have prepared for death a thousand times over.

The deer-headed man's voice disappeared without a trace, and suddenly a pair of long legs wearing suit pants appeared in front of Gu Li. She watched as the legs gradually bent and then knelt down on one knee in front of her.

Cen Xingbang met her gaze inquisitively: "Miss, or should I address you as Your Majesty? You should know that protecting this city is..."

"It is my mission."

Gu Li frowned deeply, looked into his eyes, and, imitating He Shiyi, slightly raised his head, his face revealing a cold indifference. He lifted the deer-headed man's chin with the hilt of his sword.

"This is my mission. I will not allow any of you to become a stinking pool of liquid or a mindless monster when I cannot see you."

She straightened up and stepped onto the stairs, looking down at everyone: "You all better be alive and well before I die!"

Wang Qi, on the other side, wiped his face with his black tentacles, concealing the sudden surge of sadness.

A moment later, a hoof reached out towards her, and Eric's deep, enchanting voice rang out: "Yes, my little lady, you should get off Angor first."
