With Lu He's departure, the work assignment procedure began in an orderly manner.
Those robots with smooth surfaces and flying wings would fly in front of each person, issue tasks in a mechanical voice, and then lead people away. Thankfully, the robots that appeared later didn't seem to be as ferocious as the one Lu He had killed before. Led by the robots, Betas left the hall one after another.
And Su Liang also got his own job.
He needs to take care of a garden. The garden is small, so small that you can see the entire area at a glance.
The garden was also special because the plants grown here were something Su Liang had never seen in any plant atlas—they were planted in a strange ice-blue gel and looked a bit like vines on Earth, but the texture of the branches and leaves were a bit like succulents on Earth.
Under the light, the plants seemed to be polarized, with blue, green, purple and light gold on the surface.
These plants all come from Leia and are very rare alien plants.
However, just like the fully souled Leia people, the plants produced in this place are also difficult to deal with. Lyia plants are extremely resistant to machinery and artificial products, and automatic gardening systems are their natural enemies. They can only be cared for by living, gentle and peaceful humans.
In fact, Su Liang didn’t quite understand why such an out-of-place garden suddenly appeared in the snake cave, but he still took good care of the extremely precious Laya plants in the garden - what he didn’t expect was that the Laya plants were extremely simple to care for, even easier than the plants on Earth.
He just had to do what the job instructions said and spend enough time in the garden every day.
After less than half a month, Su Liang felt that he had not taken care of them at all, but the Lycoris plants in the garden became visibly lush and flourishing.
Looking at the flower buds vaguely emerging from the Laya plants, Su Liang felt very excited.
His days were very peaceful, so peaceful that he was content.
Just when he was enjoying such days and almost forgot about the Beta named Lu He, he appeared in front of him again.
That day, Su Liang stayed in the garden a little late.
When I returned to the dormitory, it was already dark.
The seemingly innocent young man suddenly jumped out from the bushes on both sides of the road and blocked Su Liang's way.
"Senior Su——"
Lu He tilted his head slightly, but because of the backlight, Su Liang couldn't see his expression clearly. All I could hear was a hint of blame in his tone.
"I've looked for you several times, but you ignored me. I'm not that annoying, am I? If I've offended you, just tell me. Why are you being so distant?"
Su Liang looked at him steadily for a while, and then responded calmly: "What do you want to talk to me about?"
Lu He obviously heard Su Liang's indifference.
However, he still did not leave, but continued to block Su Liang.
"Well, Senior, I actually have something that I've always wanted to tell you. It's about... about Master Lu. He wants me to tell you something."
He said.
"oh?"
"Really, Senior Su, this matter is actually very important."
Lu He's voice became anxious.
Su Liang lowered his eyes, hiding all the expressions in his eyes, and then, at Lu He's signal, followed him towards a remote corner.
Not far from the dormitory building, in a seemingly abandoned sports field, Su Liang and Lu He stood facing each other.
Lu He waved at Su Liang: "Senior Su, come closer, I want to tell you."
He had one hand in his pocket.
Su Liang stared at the Beta youth standing very close to him, and suddenly, a sneer appeared on his lips.
"Actually, I have something to tell you, how about you come closer?"
Su Liang said with a smile.
He could feel that Lu He seemed to hesitate for a moment, and then as if he had figured something out, his body slowly moved closer.
"Senior Su, what do you want to tell me?"
"I want to tell you that your name is not among the first-year students at Xingchuan University."
As the last word fell, Su Liang raised his hand and grabbed Lu He's hand that was sticking out of his pocket, then raised his knee and hit Lu He's lower abdomen hard.
Lu He had already prepared himself to stab Su Liang's neck with the needle tightly held in his hand, but Su Liang's action completely interrupted his plan. The severe pain came, Lu He screamed and bent his body uncontrollably.
During this gap, Su Liang twisted his body and used the strength of his waist and abdomen to grab Lu He's arm. Then he used his shoulder to push the body of the man who was much taller than him, and with a clever move, he lifted Lu He to the ground.
"What the hell are you—"
Lu He howled in pain.
He wanted to stand up and fight back, but Su Liang had already turned over and knelt behind him, pinning him to the ground.
"Should I be the one asking this?" He looked coldly at the struggling man under him and said coldly, "What do you want to do?"
As a student representative of Xingchuan University, Su Liang once helped the teacher organize the admission information of this year's freshmen.
What a coincidence, Su Liang has a very good memory.
Moreover, he was very sure that if someone from the Lu family entered Xingchuan, he would definitely have an impression of him.
When Lu He tried to get close to him before, Su Liang vaguely felt that something was wrong.
And when Lu He said in person that it was Lu Zhizhao who had something to convey, he instantly determined that there must be something wrong with Lu He.
Having stayed with Lu Zhizhao for such a long time, Su Liang had some understanding of Lu Zhizhao - on the surface, Lu Zhizhao was an approachable and unconventional person, but in some ways, he was also extremely arrogant. This arrogance is reflected in the fact that Lu Zhizhao would never get close to a member of the side branch of the Lu family who would be exiled to the "Snake Cave", and it is even more impossible for him to pass a message to Su Liang through such a person.
Of course, apart from all these clues, what really made Su Liang take action was the instinct he accumulated in District 48 in his previous life. In that kind of place, it would be difficult for a person to survive if he could not instinctively detect the hidden malice of others.
Su Liang used the self-defense skills he also learned in District 48 to control Lu He tightly, and then he saw Lu He's still clenched hands. He raised his eyebrows and grabbed Lu He's wrist without hesitation.
“Crack—”
Followed by a slight sound of bones cracking.
Lu He's screams became more and more shrill.
His hand relaxed uncontrollably, and a syringe containing light pink medicine fell directly from Lu He's palm.
"Hmm? What is this——"
Su Liang's eyes narrowed slightly, and he couldn't help but bend down to pick up the syringe.
And at this moment, he suddenly felt the hairs on his back stand on end.
Su Liang rolled over and jumped directly away from Lu He.
His movements were fast, but the person who came was using a special launcher, so his speed was indeed faster.
Su Liang only felt a sudden sharp pain in the back of his neck, and then a stream of cold liquid flowed into his neck. Su Liang's vision became dim almost instantly, and his body suddenly became out of control.
"Is it you?"
Su Liang turned his head in a dizziness, gasping for breath, watching a familiar figure slowly approaching in the distance.
That was the arrogant henchman from the Ning family who had once called Lu He a bootlicker. He put the transmitter back in his pocket and glared at Su Liang viciously.
"What did you do?"
Su Liang gritted his teeth and asked, trying to stay conscious.
"I didn't do anything. I just wanted you to die early."
The little follower said with gritted teeth.
"You injected me with poison?"
Su Liang wanted to find out more.
But the next second, he was hit hard in the face, and Su Liang fell to the ground, with the world spinning in front of his eyes.
However, he couldn't even feel much pain.
"Damn it—aren't you pretty awesome? Why are you asking so many questions?"
He heard Lu He's insults.
"You dare to hit me? I'll beat you to death—"
Lu He jumped up from the ground, his previous disguise faded away, leaving only a ferocious and ruffian face.
Su Liang was unable to move at this time, and he looked extremely pale and weak as he lay on the ground. Lu He wanted to take revenge again, but was stopped by the Ning family's follower.
"Stop! Don't you think it's embarrassing enough? The shielding device only works for a short time. You've already wasted long enough. Do you want that old monster to find out what we are doing? His mental power covers the entire island, and you still don't come to help! Do you want to wait until the shielding device loses its effect?!"
"But……"
"He's going to die soon anyway! Don't go crazy!"
…
Su Liang tried hard to control his breathing so that his blood flow would not be too fast and cause the drug to take effect faster.
He was terribly dizzy and his body was gradually becoming limp.
Then, there was the scorching heat.
The heat flow spread along the wound on his neck where the medicine was injected, making Su Liang almost burn.
He felt Lu He and the beta from the Ning family approaching him, and then they pulled him and walked in a certain direction.
In the darkness of the night, the burning flame in his body burned wildly, causing Su Liang to completely lose consciousness.
…
The inner courtyard of the "Snake Cave".
Deep in the island, Lu Taipan was lying quietly in a huge water tank.
He sank to the bottom of the blue sedative solution, as pale as the corpse of an ancient sea monster.
The mental power is firmly sealed by drugs and machines.
The burning of pheromones is limited to a tolerable range.
And just at this moment, the butler appeared.
"We have good news and bad news."
The butler, who was always chattering and talking a lot of nonsense, was very concise when conveying the message this time.
"The good news is that the trap we set for the Black Guardian or the Skeleton Legion has finally been triggered, and someone is coming in your direction. But the bad news is that the ones coming here are not the Black Guardian or the Skeleton Legion, but two insignificant little mice—"
"You can handle it on your own."
Lu Taipan said coldly without waiting for the butler to finish speaking.
However, the butler did not follow Lu Taipan's instructions obediently. For a moment, the voice of the artificial intelligence sounded a little embarrassed.
“But those two rats kidnapped Master Su Liang.”
"What?"
"They also injected Master Su Liang with an unknown drug, and they are bringing him closer." The housekeeper looked a little gloomy, "I have already called in the patrol snakes, I think they should arrive soon. I hope that before that, the two intruders will not harm Master Su Liang."
“Crash…”
Accompanied by the sound of water, Lu Taipan left the calming pool without saying a word.
The butler's voice rang again after a brief silence: "By the way, I detected some not-so-good data. The pheromone concentration near the inner courtyard is increasing. I can't quite tell whether it comes from the two invaders or Young Master Su Liang. The temperature detection shows that Young Master Su Liang is now in a high fever..."
Lu Taipan put on a robe.
He methodically put on the bite-stop-like mask, then equipped himself with weapons one by one.
Then he walked straight outside and rushed towards the "invader" on the virtual screen.
…
There was a wonderful sweet smell in the air.
Two betas, with pale faces, carried Su Liang and walked on a remote path.
The closer they got to the inner courtyard, the stronger Lu Taipan's mental power became. Although the conspiracy had obviously succeeded, the two evil Betas were now covered in cold sweat and were on the verge of collapse.
Lu He held the burning boy on his body, his voice hoarse: "Why hasn't he arrived yet? Can't we just leave this guy behind?"
The Ning family's little follower also had a grim expression on his face. He took another look at the projection on the wrist communicator and confirmed the location.
They spent a huge amount of money to get Lu Taipan's schedule and the approximate location map of the inner courtyard facilities from an insider.
Now they were not far from the safe place that the insider had told them.
"The location is fine, so the medicine should be fine too, right?"
Perhaps Lu He was affected by Lu Taipan's mental power. He became panicked and uneasy. While walking forward, he couldn't help but ask again.
"Stop talking nonsense. Can't you feel whether there is a problem or not?"
The follower said fiercely.
Su Liang's body had become extremely hot, and as his body temperature rose, a fragrance emanated from him.
It was a sweet taste that even betas could sense.
The Ning family's henchman injected Su Liang with a special medicine.
This potion can stimulate the Beta's own thin pheromones to the maximum extent. Not only that, it will also combine the stimulated pheromones with the attractants specially added to the potion that target specific Alphas, forming something similar to a powerful aphrodisiac.
It can even make high-level Alphas instantly susceptible.
It can also instantly transform a dull Beta into an addictive beauty.
Of course, the person who created this potion never expected that a simple potion could make Lu Taipan, who had an iron will, lose control.
However, what they wanted was not to make Lu Taipan lose control, but to let Su Liang, who was covered with strong pheromones, die in Lu Taipan's hands.
This medicine contains a special attractant for Lu Taipan, which was specially developed based on the pheromone residues left by Lu Taipan on the battlefield many years ago.
It is also because of this that unless Su Liang receives the pheromone released by this specific Alpha to neutralize the effect of the drug, he will continue to emit this pseudo-pheromone with a strong seductive scent.
Such a source of pheromone release is a complete bomb for Lu Taipan, who suffers from pheromone disorder.
Considering Lu Taipan’s previous ruthless methods, the most likely thing he would do is to directly erase the existence of "Su Liang".
…
"When that time comes, I'll see how you can seduce Master Lu, and I'll see how you can bully Aning..."
The Ning family's followers kept muttering to themselves to cheer themselves up.
After what seemed like a lifetime, they finally arrived at their designated location.
The two men threw it directly to the ground in fear. Lu He thought about it and simply rushed forward and tore Su Liang's clothes into pieces.
"What are you doing?"
The Ning family's follower shouted in shock.
"Isn't this place still a bit far from that old monster from the Lu family? I'm worried that he won't be able to notice——"
"Stop messing around! We've calculated the location, it must work! Let's go, the monster might be here soon!"
The Ning family follower raised his head and glanced at the lights at the other end of the dark forest from afar.
He knew very well that this was where the head of the Lu family, Lu Taipan, would receive sedative mental treatment tonight.
With Lu Taipan's monstrous perception, he was able to sense the aura emanating from Su Liang even at such a short distance.
Thinking that Lu Taipan might be arriving soon, both of them turned pale.
They shrank their necks, turned around and were about to leave.
However, even though their minds were screaming at them to leave immediately, they found that their bodies seemed unable to move.
what happened?
Why doesn’t my body obey me?
Why, they are shaking all the time?
Cold sweat trickled down their temples, and it took a long time for the two men to realize that this was a stiffening reaction of their bodies caused by extreme fear.
Something is coming.
There are real monsters coming.
You will die.
You will definitely die.
…Just as they were thinking this, a pale shadow suddenly appeared before their eyes.
"Help."
"I was wrong. I don't dare anymore..."
"Forgive me, Patriarch, I beg you to forgive me..."
Random cries and fragmented howls echoed in the night.
The two people were almost insane due to the pressure emanating from the top Alpha, and they fell to the ground the moment they saw that person.
They screamed, thinking they were about to meet the most horrible and painful death.
However, they did not expect that the tall figure would pass them directly and walk towards the naked boy who was thrown to the ground by them.
