"Commander Xie, do you have any information about the fragments of the Order Cube?"
Xie Zhao paused, a faint look of astonishment appeared on his pale face, "You read Xie Xie'ao's memory, right?"
All her special abilities were already known to the world, so it was normal for him to guess. Tu Ran didn't care. "You have reported to Xie Xieao in the past few years that you have not found any relevant information. Is it true that you have not found anything?" She was more concerned about this point now.
"I found out something." With the help of Xiaojiu, Xie Zhao took another step and slowly sat on the bed opposite Tu Ran. He raised his hands to hold the coat that was about to slip off his shoulders.
"After the Order Cube was disrupted, it broke into eight pieces and scattered throughout the universe. If someone gathers all eight pieces and reassembles the Order Cube, the order of the universe will be restored, and the connections between the worlds will be severed..."
Xie Xu covered his mouth and coughed twice, refusing the unknown liquid handed over by Xiao Jiu, and continued: "In order to prevent someone from collecting the eight fragments to restore the order of the universe, the 'ruler' race sent out elite troops to collect the fragments and store them on their own planet. They have now collected seven fragments, and the remaining one is in Xie Xie'ao's hands."
After a few words, his voice became weak, the blood color on his lips gradually disappeared, and he was forced to stop relieving himself.
Xiaojiu, who had been standing next to him without saying a word, stepped forward again, took a bottle of green nutrient solution, opened the bottle cap, and handed it to Xie Zhao. This time Xie Zhao did not refuse.
The moment the bottle was opened, a bitter smell filled the entire small clinic, like the smell of crushed green insects in a summer forest, covering the original smell of disinfectant.
Tu Ran wrinkled her nose and was a little confused.
Why is Xie Zhao so sick? He can't be so poor that he doesn't have money to stay in the nutrition cabin, right? She looked for the answer from Xie Xu beside her. Xie Xu was watching his brother drink the medicine expressionlessly, but he noticed her gaze and turned his head. He didn't hide it, "I just brought him out of the secret laboratory of the Pang family."
Tu Ran understood, "So the Pang family has reached the final step?"
"What last step?" Xie Xu didn't understand.
Tu Ran explained, "The replica has been produced to replace Xie Zhao and take control of the Xie family. The last step is to kidnap the real owner and replace him with the replica without anyone noticing."
Xie Xu paused for a moment, "Did you also read the memory of that replica?"
Tu Ran blinked, "Yes, if there is anything you want to know, I can tell you."
Her ability to read memories was so incredible that the things he had been investigating for a long time were not as effective as her memory reading in just a few seconds.
"Not yet." He looked away.
Xie Zhao had already drunk all the green liquid. Xiao Jiu handed him a white handkerchief, and Xie Zhao used it to wipe the non-existent stains on the corners of his mouth.
After returning the handkerchief to Xiao Jiu, he raised his head and looked at Tu Ran, slightly curling the corners of his lips to reveal a fairly polite smile, "Thank you for attracting the attention of the Pang family this time, so that Ah Xu could bring me out of there safely."
Attract attention?
Tu Ran's mind flashed back to the list Xie Xu handed her, as well as the two replicas who died at her hands and were highly expected by the Pang family. She crossed her arms, glanced at Xie Xu, and said in a gloomy tone, "You really know how to kill two birds with one stone."
Not only did he let her kill Xie Xieao and the two replicas, but he also took advantage of the noise she made to catch the Pang family off guard and rescue Xie Zhao.
Xie Xu pursed his lips and said nothing, rarely refutating, "This inner pill is for you."
He took out a small frosted box from his pocket and handed it to Tu Ran.
Tu Ran looked at him suspiciously, took the box, opened it, and an inner elixir was exposed in the center. It was no different from the inner elixirs she had seen before.
Tu Ran could not see the specific functions of the inner elixir with the naked eye. Only when it was displayed on a living body could her "superpower recognition" take effect.
"What function? Why give it to me?" Tu Ran subconsciously rubbed the frosted surface of the box with her fingers, raised her eyes and asked Xie Xu.
"Space-related abilities, manipulating time and space to achieve the purpose of switching worlds at will."
Tu Ran: “?!”
She was a little sleepy before, but now she felt as if struck by lightning and was full of energy. "Where did it come from?"
"In the Pang family's experimental base, they dug out this inner elixir from a thousand-year-old tree within the threshold."
Tu Ran stared at the inner elixir in the box, her eyes shining. It was like a sleepy person finding a pillow or a wheat awn falling into the eye of a needle. It couldn't be more coincidental.
With this inner elixir, it was easy for her to go to the "Ruler" world.
Xie Xu poured a bucket of cold water on her in time, "Going to a certain world is random."
Tu Ran: “…”
Fortunately, she had a good attitude. "It doesn't matter. I can still go to a few more worlds to accumulate experience. In a world with big bosses, I don't have enough experience and will be easily killed."
Xie Xu looked at her as she swallowed the inner elixir without hesitation, and blurted out, "Do you want to save the world so much?" This inner elixir is the closest thing to a ruler known today. Swallowing this inner elixir is equivalent to accepting the mission of piecing together the Rubik's Cube of Order, and the responsibility is huge.
Tu Ran had already swallowed the inner elixir. The light screen in front of her introduced the uses of this inner elixir in detail. Tu Ran read it carefully and found it was similar to what Xie Xu said.
"Save the world?" Tu Ran raised an index finger and shook it in front of Xie Xu's eyes, then said slowly and seriously, "I am saving the universe."
Xie Xu: “…”
Xie Zhao, who was sitting opposite them, watched the scene quietly, shook his head silently and smiled.
"Is there anything else you want to give me? Or is there anything else you want to tell me?" Tu Ran looked at Xie Xu, then at Xie Zhao, "If not, I'll leave."
Xie Zhao smiled and shook his head. It was obvious that he had nothing to give her. Xie Xu glanced at the dark circles under her eyes, pursed his lips, and said, "I will give you the other information through Ling. You can... go back and rest first."
"Bye." Tu Ran waved casually, pushed open the closed door, and swaggered into the light outside.
Xie Zhao looked at her back and couldn't help but say, "She is really... optimistic to the point of being naive."
Now she holds the last piece of the Rubik's Cube and the key to the ruler's world. If there is any mistake, the Rubik's Cube will be taken away by the ruler, and the key will also be taken away. It will be easy for the ruler to go to other worlds, and other worlds that want to rebel against the ruler will have to start from scratch.
Xie Xu did not respond to his words, "You should go to the nutrition cabin."
"I know, I know."
··· After leaving the black market, Tu Ran went to Xi Chunzhi’s bar.
After being brought into the box by Xi Chunzhi, he fell asleep immediately.
Xi Chunzhi looked at the person lying in a spread-eagle position on his bed in front of him, shook his head helplessly, pulled out a blanket and threw it on her stomach, then quietly pushed the door and left.
Tu Ran slept for eight hours and woke up naturally. She rubbed her eyes and looked at the unfamiliar scene in the box. It took her two seconds to react and she remembered that she was in Xi Chunzhi's tavern.
I got out of bed, opened the door, and walked along the corridor to find Xi Chunzhi drinking at a small independent table in the wine cabinet in the hall.
There seemed to be no one in the bar. The only few people wandering around were different from the group she saw this morning. They didn't look like they were here to have fun. They had all kinds of superpowers on their heads, and their eyes were gloomy and sharp. Huo was wearing a hot red dress and mingled among the others.
Tu Ran pulled a chair and sat opposite Xi Chunzhi.
"The fire is exchanging messages?"
Xi Chunzhi poured her a cup of orange liquid, pushed it in front of her, and she nodded.
