Su Liang didn't meet other people until the next day.
As a behemoth in the upper echelons of the Earth Alliance, the number of so-called service personnel sent by the Lu family to the "Snake Cave" every year is actually far more than Su Liang had previously thought.
After washing up and enjoying a very delicious breakfast.
Su Liang followed the instructions and went downstairs, finally entering a white room that looked like a mission hall.
There were already quite a few people standing in the room. Among those sent to the "Snake Cave", some looked familiar to Su Liang, perhaps he had seen them in the Lu family mansion.
There are also some who are obviously from other star regions, and their skin color and dress are different from those of people in the central star region.
However, one thing that is certain is that the Lu family seemed to have taken certain aspects into consideration when selecting service staff for their head Lu Taipan - everyone standing in the hall now has almost the same characteristics, they are all exceptionally young and beautiful.
However, when Su Liang stepped into the hall, the beautiful faces that other young people were proud of seemed to suddenly become a little dull and ordinary.
Yes, when Su Liang was looking at them, these people were also observing him carefully.
"Wow, where did this person come from..."
"Didn't they say that Omegas are not allowed to enter the snake cave? How did a high-level Omega sneak in here?"
"Is this a mistake?"
When the confused teenagers from other star regions couldn't help whispering, a slightly sharp voice sounded.
"Oh, don't you know him? He's a famous loser Beta. He was brought into the Lu family to make money. He thought he could turn into an Omega, but ended up being a Beta. By the way, don't be fooled by his face. Some people have pretty faces but are disgusting inside."
"The Lu family provided him with food and drink with good intentions, but he was bent on seducing Young Master Lu and wanted to be the third party between Young Master Lu and Young Master Ning... What? If he had hooked up with Young Master Lu, why would he come here? Who knows, maybe he was rejected..."
…
Hearing this old-fashioned and boring arrangement, Su Liang couldn't help but look at the speaker again.
Surrounded by a group of Betas, there was a slightly familiar figure. After a lifetime, Su Liang now hardly remembers that person's name. He only vaguely remembers that the other person seemed to be a good friend of Ning Jiayi.
The Ning family is actually sending people into the "snake cave"?
Su Liang was just a little surprised, but didn't think too much about it.
He had already witnessed too much of the malicious fabrications and speculations from that "good friend" in his previous life. For someone who has died once, it is difficult for him to care about the innocuous sarcasm behind the scenes of these spoiled young masters.
Su Liang withdrew his gaze and calmly found an inconspicuous place to stand.
He just wanted to be quiet for a while, but at this moment, someone suddenly came over.
"That's not the case at all, Senior Su, don't worry about it."
Su Liang tilted his head and found that the person approaching was a strange Beta.
As far as Beta is concerned, he can be said to be handsome. He is very tall, but his face looks a bit childish. His round puppy eyes are very friendly, and he does not look very old.
"you……"
"Senior Su, I never thought I would actually meet you."
Beta with puppy eyes gazed softly at Su Liang beside him.
"You don't know me, but I've known you for a long time, senior. My name is Lu He."
The boy said to him with a smile.
"I'm also a student at Xingchuan University, and I'm only a freshman this year. I've seen you give a speech as an outstanding representative before, and I thought you were really, really handsome!"
"Hello, Lu He."
Su Liang responded.
He felt a little uncomfortably distant from Lu He.
Is there... this person among the first-year students at Hoshigawa University?
Su Liang tried hard to recall.
Lu He spoke again: "In fact, I have always known that you are not the kind of person that those guys plotted behind the scenes. I trust you very much, so don't be troubled by this kind of thing."
The boy seemed to have a very good impression of Su Liang. After saying such warm and sincere words of encouragement, he stretched out his hand to shake hands with Su Liang, but Su Liang subconsciously avoided his hand.
The scene suddenly became a little awkward.
"Sorry, I don't really like interacting with people." Su Liang came back to his senses and said to Lu He stiffly. "Besides, I'm not bothered by anyone's idle rumors. But thank you anyway."
Hearing Su Liang's words that were gradually revealing a sense of alienation, Lu He lowered his head as if he had been hit.
"Senior, am I too abrupt... Actually, I'm a little nervous. Everyone says this place is scary. When I first came here, I felt like I couldn't breathe, so I couldn't help but come closer when I saw someone I knew."
Lu He seemed not to notice that he was talking and started to move closer to Su Liang again.
Su Liang had no choice but to start retreating, and was about to reach a corner where he had no room to retreat.
But whether it was Lu He or Su Liang, the amplitude of their movements could not be said to be too large. It is precisely because of this that even though many people were paying attention to the two people in the corner, they did not notice some strange interactions between them.
Instead, they were more concerned about the closeness that handsome Beta showed towards Su Liang. To them, this was the most annoying thing, and some people even sneered disdainfully in the crowd.
"Just because he has a pretty face, he can be licked by that guy like that. Where on earth did this country boy come from?"
"Don't say that. That person is not an ordinary Beta. He is a master who can easily defeat an Alpha. How difficult is it to fool a fool who has never seen the world..."
…
Some people chuckled, some cheered, and some watched coldly.
No matter from which angle you look at it, the scene before your eyes is so ordinary.
However, at the other end of the "snake cave", someone who was meeting with the snakes suddenly became absent-minded during the combat meeting for the first time.
The constantly outflowing mental power made it difficult for Lu Taipan to control the range of his mental power detection. Even though he had never thought of spying intentionally, everything that happened in the entire villa still poured into his mind uncontrollably.
This is why he is in so much pain and on the verge of collapse.
The range he could perceive was too broad, and the information he detected was too complex, which placed an extremely heavy burden on his spiritual sea.
Of course, people like Lu Taipan have long been accustomed to filtering out these utter junk messages directly from their surface thinking. These messages will continue to accumulate in his mind, but with the help of drugs, they will at least not affect his daily work and life.
However, today, his powerful filtering mechanism seemed to have a small problem.
On the other side of the island, far away from the combat meeting room, the unusually hidden evasive action of a certain young Beta in the hall, which could even be said to have been unaware by Su Liang himself, suddenly became particularly strong in Lu Taipan's consciousness.
Lu Taipan's fingers trembled.
Without any hesitation, he directly called up the detailed surveillance images from all directions in the hall.
On the other side of the screen, the identity information of the young man named Lu He flashed.
He is indeed a descendant of the Lu family's side branch.
He is indeed a freshman at Xingchuan University.
From any perspective, Lu He's file is clean and safe, otherwise the "steward" would not have placed Su Liang among such a group of people. Yes, although this group of people are empty-headed and arrogant, their "identity" is very clean.
At least, they were not spies and assassins sent by some forces with ulterior motives.
However, seeing such an extremely clean file, Lu Taipan still frowned slightly.
Lu Taipan doesn't like Lu He. He always felt that there was something strange and alien about Lu He.
But, on the other hand, he had never liked anyone in the Lu family.
His dislike was not peculiar.
The files sent by the "steward" showed that Lu He had no connection with the forces and groups he was familiar with. He didn't need to pay any attention to Lu He's eagerness towards Su Liang.
After all, according to the information, Su Liang also has many admirers in Xingchuan University.
A handsome boy like him can easily be loved by others even without the attraction of pheromones.
Lu Taipan, the strong and cold-blooded head of the Lu family, who is busy with all kinds of affairs, has no need and no reason to deal with the security risks without evidence around an ordinary and weak Beta.
But……
In a trance, Lu Taipan seemed to see again yesterday, a young man in the room, looking relieved and smiling sweetly.
"Kind inspector"? Su Liang did not conduct any identity investigation on Lu Taipan's appearance.
I quickly believe whatever others say.
The "Snake Cave" is notorious, and even out of basic safety awareness, one should be wary of the people and things here. However, he has strong kindness and goodwill towards people he has only met once, or even towards bionic people he has only interacted with for a short period of time.
They even began to worry about the artificial intelligence "butler" that could be used as the most powerful weapon of war...
He is obviously not the weak boy of fourteen years old, but in some ways, his overly naive nature has not changed at all. When he first saw the person covered in blood, he just greeted him and came over foolishly.
It's just like a wild cat that has no wandering skills at all. It can't recognize lies and malice at all. As long as you give it a little sweetness, it will come up to you stupidly and show you its furry belly to let you touch it.
How could such a person live smoothly in the Lu family until now?
When he thought of this, the wrinkles between Lu Taipan’s brows deepened a little.
He didn't like such a naive, stupid and weak guy at all.
He thought.
Too easy to kill.
It's hard to feel at ease.
…
"Ahem, Boss."
When he came to his senses, Lu Taipan realized that the combat meeting, which had been noisy, had fallen into dead silence.
The poisonous snakes looked at Lu Taipan in shock, their faces a little solemn.
"Is the cargo that the pirate brought to the black market this time particularly important? For example, is there an antimatter particle cannon that can blow up half of the galaxy? If so, maybe we can adopt another more reliable plan to destroy them?"
Xue Yinhuan, who was sitting next to him, carefully observed the fine lines between Lu Taipan's eyebrows and spoke with a trembling voice.
You know, the last time he saw Lu Taipan frowning was on the eve of the final battle with the Canaanites.
Even Xue Yinhuan, who usually seeks death, couldn't help but get nervous when he thought about the fact that he had accepted a task that would make the boss, who was as cold as a machine, look solemn.
Lu Taipan suddenly returned to his original stiff expression and glanced at Xue Yinhuan coldly.
"It's just a routine task." Lu Taipan said word by word.
"You and the Black Mamba can do it."
After saying this, he lowered his eyes again and looked at the screen in front of him, but before continuing the combat meeting, he took the time to send an order.
…
"Serviceman No. 017, Lu He."
In the hall where the service staff gathered, a very mechanical voice suddenly appeared.
I saw an automatic flying robot swooping out from the secret compartment and rushing directly towards Lu He in the corner.
"Your mission has been issued, and you will receive mission training next. Now, please follow me and leave here immediately to the work place."
The robot issued a cold command.
Lu He looked at the ugly flying robot in front of him in surprise.
"Ah?" He was startled. "Wait, I'm not number 17? I'm on a mission so soon, isn't that right?"
According to the training records before coming here, all tasks were distributed in order of numbers. Lu He was considered lucky because he would not leave here for a long time.
Lu He looked at Su Liang, muttered unwillingly, and wanted to negotiate with the automatic robot.
However, the robot in front of him did not give him any chance to negotiate.
The buzzing mechanical body suddenly rushed forward, as if interrogating something, and the robot almost fell on Lu He's face. In order to avoid the constantly rotating wings on the robot, Lu He was so scared that he stepped back repeatedly, thus putting some distance between him and the thing.
"Wait, is there something wrong with your robot's settings—"
"Please follow me out of here immediately and go to your work destination."
"Please follow me out of here immediately and go to your work destination."
The robot mechanically repeated the cold words, as if driving away an animal, and directly drove the tall and strong Lu He out of the hall.
Of course, before being completely kicked out, Lu He still seized the opportunity and stuffed a private communicator into Su Liang's hand.
"Senior Su, we'll contact each other when we have time!"
Lu He's voice came from far outside the door.
It has to be said that the simple and rough way that "Snake Cave" treated the service staff made everyone present look unhappy. The group of Betas who had the leisure to mutter and talk before quickly fell silent, fearing that they would be driven out like sheep by the automatic machine that looked no different from flies.
Except Su Liang.
He looked at the communicator in his hand with a strange expression, and after hesitating for a while, he put it into his pocket.
…
“Crack—”
Along with the shattering of the data panel in front of Lu Taipan.
The snake group's combat meeting fell into silence again.
"Boss, tell me the truth..."
Xue Yinhuan almost burst into tears.
He looked at Lu Taipan's frowning brows with a bleak expression. "Actually, even if it's a mission that means I'm going to die, I'll go willingly. Anyway, no matter what the mission is, just tell me clearly. I just hope you won't hide it from me. At least tell me what the real purpose of this mission is? That way I can go back and distribute my pension. Oh, and don't let Black Mamba follow him. He managed to save his life with great difficulty. He's only been alive and kicking for a few years. It's not worth it if he loses it again..."
Lu Taipan: “…”
The author has something to say:
Lu Taipan: I really hate this silly, soft, naive, sweet and soft little pitiful thing.
Lu Taipan: So annoying.
…
Lu Taipan: I just feel sorry for him.
Lu Taipan: Just take care of it. It's not a big deal.
