Chapter 152 Checkmate
Open a factory together? With me?
Are you crazy?
Chen Xiao'er really suspected that there was something wrong with the factory director's brain. He still wanted to incite others to rebel at this critical juncture?
She thought for a few seconds, then gradually realized: Oh, it's all an act. They just need a hostage who will actively cooperate.
She must have wanted to kidnap me and take me to the office to take away important documents, then make me cooperate with her to go to the top floor, and finally leave by helicopter.
After a few thoughts, Chen Xiao'er replied cautiously, "Of course I can, but I don't have any work experience."
【Can】
Hearing the key words of the bond, the Overlord's expression relaxed even further. He even tilted his wrist, which was gripping the gun, to the left, motioning her to step forward. "Don't worry about that. You're talented, and I've got plenty of money. If we join forces, a comeback is only a matter of time."
"Don't worry, you have great potential. The abyss is full of energy. As long as you are willing to merge with me, the engulfment of human civilization is just around the corner."
Uh, what a cheesy way of saying it!
Chen Xiao'er bit her lip, trying hard to hold it together. "Calm down! This murderer is just acting." But he's pretty thick-skinned to be able to trick a freshman with the idea of opening a factory together.
To avoid angering the factory manager, Chen Xiao'e slowly walked forward. The gun was no longer aimed at the forehead, but at the back, near the heart.
She continued to dawdle along the corridor until the factory manager impatiently urged her to "hurry up", then she quickened her pace a little and walked into a transparent elevator hidden in the middle of the floor.
The elevator started buzzing, and Chen Xiao'er realized that the food factory had a similar design to Taoli University. The elevators could move freely in at least four directions: forward, backward, left, and right.
The transparent elevator has a double-layer shell. The outer layer of crystal shell rotates slowly like a music box, and the clicking sound is full of the charm of clockwork music.
The factory director held the gun in his right hand, and the crosshairs moved across Chen Xiao'er's body and cheek.
The Overlord looked at the black-haired human girl. It had devoured many humans, but this was the first time it had examined a human so carefully.
She has a human appearance, heart, and rationality, so it stands to reason that I can devour her to regain power and understand the rules of humanity.
The sight is so scary...
The elevator door opened, and Chen Xiao'er walked out unhurriedly, under the factory director's watchful gaze. They took a dedicated passage directly to the top floor, which was completely empty except for a semicircular office of the chairman.
As Chen Xiao'er approached the door, the sensor door opened automatically, revealing the extremely cold furnishings inside.
All the furniture was made of solid wood coated with a dark red lacquer, the surface of which was so smooth and oily that it looked like half-coagulated blood.
There was no sofa or recliner in the office, only a high-backed chair standing alone in the middle, with a single metal safe placed behind it, like a loyal guard protecting the lord's treasure.
There was a hole in the attic ceiling, and a ladder leaning against the wall went up into the hole. It seemed that the ladder could reach the roof, where the helicopter was parked.
Chen Xiao'er hesitated and stopped in front of the carpet, and was hit on the back by the gun barrel.
The Overlord's cold voice came from behind: "Hurry, open it, and take out the contract. The school people will be here soon."
I don't have the key or the password. Didn't you close the safe?
Chen Xiao'er squatted down with a frown on her face, holding the turntable with one hand.
Click, the door opened.
…
The power of rules cannot stop time, but the entire abnormal area is shrouded in deathly silence.
The out-of-control anomalies trembled and hid in various corners to avoid being dragged out and killed by the church members. The students ran through the constantly generated corridors, trying to get to the core area where Chen Xiao'er and the Overlord were.
Yu, who had just been kicked downstairs by Xinnaya, shook his head and got up, looking into the void in a trance.
The golden crown rose slowly, as its owner had reached the highest point in space.
It is the sky and also the abyss, the origin where endless arcs converge.
The black-haired girl continued to rise, supported by the bloody mist. Even the Lord was willing to use his body of pure light to forge the steps for the girl to climb. She was approaching power, and the golden crown was also approaching her.
The screen at the monitoring center showed a close-up of the moment: Chen Xiao'er carefully stretched out her right hand, grasped a corner of the crown in the brilliant light of the rising sun, and slowly dragged it from the void into reality.
bite--
Silent fluctuations echoed clearly in the depths of the soul, and a rainbow halo erupted around the crown, dispersing into a colorful cloud like wings.
In this scene that seemed like a myth, the girl suddenly raised her hand and took off the crown on her head, without letting it touch her soft hair.
Chen Xiao'e held up the power with both hands. The golden crown in her hands gradually dimmed but became more solid, solidifying from a ray of light and a wisp of air into a tangible existence.
With a swish, a flexible gold-sprinkled paper page appeared in her hand. The crown completely melted and fused into gold-plated crown-shaped artistic words, inlaid in the border header.
…
Brush Lala.
Chen Xiao'er took out a stack of contracts from the safe. The text on them was densely packed, and at a glance it was all about real estate ownership.
She waved the page in front of the factory director and asked, "Is this it?"
"Yes." The factory manager's eyes flickered, and after a few seconds he asked in surprise, "Why haven't you put it away yet?" ["Why haven't you integrated it yet?"]
Chen Xiao'er looked around but couldn't find the file bag. She didn't dare fold such a precious contract, so she tucked it under her arm and blinked innocently at the factory director: "Is that so?"
The Overlord hesitated for a few seconds, perhaps thinking that humanity needed more time to integrate its powers. So, she magnanimously stepped aside and said to her new ally, "Let's go, let's get on the helicopter first. Don't worry, those people won't dare to act rashly."
"Let's go. Let's use the backup energy to leave here first. Don't worry, those humans will be wary of your power and won't dare to attack until you've completely merged."
"good."
Chen Xiao'er pursed her lips and held back from saying anything more.
She walked to the corner of the wall, put one foot on the ladder, gently held the contract in her mouth, and climbed up with both hands.
Boom, boom, boom.
As soon as her head popped out from the ceiling, she squinted her eyes due to a gust of wind:
A blood-red painted helicopter was hovering in the sky. When it saw them, it immediately lowered a long soft ladder, dragging it a few meters away.
What to do, there are still pilots.
Chen Xiao'er clenched her fists nervously, her nails almost scratching her palms: Once I climb onto the plane, my life or death will all depend on the factory director's decision!
She noticed a few black spots in the sky farther away. They might be the pick-up personnel hired by the factory director, but she would rather believe that it was the student union's silver-white special plane.
[Do you really want to "help" this guy escape? She's a murderer!]
What should I do? What should I do... Chen Xiao'er's clenched lips suddenly loosened: she saw a furry head rising from the edge of the roof.
He waved one hand left and right, giving a thumbs-up, then raised his other hand, holding up a familiar pair of sunglasses.
Sister Lan’s sunglasses.
"Okay, what are you waiting for? Come with me now."
The Overlord looked at the core in the sky that was radiating light and radiating energy regardless of cost, and couldn't help but reveal a smug yet painful expression.
This place will soon be destroyed, but it doesn't matter. Humans can only take away the remaining energy, and I will take away the truly valuable treasures!
She couldn't wait to walk towards Chen Xiao'er and reached out to grab her arm that was hanging by her side.
Pasha.
The master's arm was held backwards, and his body suddenly lost balance.
If Xinnaya saw this scene, she would definitely laugh out loud: It's so familiar. This is how the abyss creatures used human bodies to fight for the first time.
They are not afraid of pain or fatigue, and have extremely flexible bodies of pure light, which is quite beneficial in combat. However, when these advantages are reduced to zero one by one, they will suffer a huge backlash!
The Overlord had never experienced the feeling of having his arms stretched, and his entire body fell straight to the ground.
Chen Xiao'er naturally wouldn't let go of such a good opportunity. She spun around and smashed the factory director's wrist open!
Crackling.
The pistol was swung high, fell to the ground with a crackling sound, and was kicked even further away by her.
Okay, disarm!
Chen Xiao'er quickly switched positions. One hand slid down along the shoulder, and with the other, she grasped the factory director's palm and pulled hard. At the same time, her legs nimbly rolled up to tightly lock the entire arm, completing a standard cross armbar!
"You'll need it someday."
The physical education teacher smiled with satisfaction in the memory. Chen Xiao'er felt sore in the corners of her eyes and her legs worked harder.
"Why did you betray me?!" The Overlord screamed in disbelief, "You clearly agreed!"
nerve.
Chen Xiao'er gritted her teeth and twisted the master's wrist hard. "I'd better break it!" She said through gritted teeth, "You killed so many people and you still want to escape? You wish!"
Unknown human beings.
The Overlord couldn't understand Chen Xiao'er's choice. In the world of abyssal creatures, only the strong prey on the weak. It and Chen Xiao'er were both strong, while the group of humans and the controlled anomalies surrounding them were weak.
You could clearly possess the power, merge with me, and master both the laws of humanity and the abnormal. Why are you dragging me here to be devoured by the weak? This doesn't make sense.
Do you expect them to help you? Foolish! Once the weak have devoured me, they will surely devour you, the one with the power.
The Overlord screamed at the top of his lungs, "Don't waste your talent. You're not like those guys. They'll only fear you and persecute you!"
"Stop talking so much!" Chen Xiao'er said with a ferocious look amidst the crisp sound of clicking: I won't let you go! If I let you go, who will let all those people in the basement go?
They were fighting on the edge of the rooftop, and a pair of legs approached, casting a shadow on her.
"Love, leave it to me next."
Lan held Chen Xiao'er's body and patted her gently.
She raised her lips and smiled, walked around to the side, pressed down on the master's neck, raised her fist and hit him hard on the nose!
Crackling.
A scarlet flower immediately blossomed on the Overlord's face. She looked at her fellow smirkers and shouted, "You're not following the rules!"
Bang!
"You, are you worthy enough to bear the power of rules like this?!"
Snap!
"I want fair competition!"
Bang bang.
After a few punches, the Lord's handsome face swelled up bigger than a pig's head and redder than a tomato.
She opened her leaky mouth unwillingly and cried out in despair, "Kusu and Leimen can't save the dignified Zanzha Zhai from this!"
…
On the other side of the rooftop, the anomalous core that maintained the entire area emitted unstable flashes.
Xinnaya grinned greedily: "Great, no one noticed this thing? In the past, Chen Xiao'er always got it first, now it's my turn."
Tsk tsk, it's no wonder I let Lan step on my head to help her climb the chasm. This is my reward! So I win this round—huh?!
The apostle who was originally below the devil suddenly moved and grabbed Xinaya's "hair" at an extremely fast speed.
Zero caught a ray of light, and his toes emitted high-frequency fluctuations, and in an instant he stepped on the core of the devil!
This immediately activated the core's counterattack.
The apostle used the reflected energy to suddenly leap up, kicking the devil's head and leaping up - and using the reaction force to kick Xinaya down.
“————”
Ling ignored the devil's curses as he fell and ran towards Chen Xiao'er.
[Number 0, immediately take back the power from Chen Xiao'er.]
"Xiao'er." Silver hair burned under the red spotlight, and Ling's voice came closer from far away: "You are not hurt?"
Bang, bang!
As Sister Lan played the accompaniment of hammering, Chen Xiao'er rushed towards Ling and hugged him tightly with open arms.
"It's okay~ Hehe, I didn't let the bad guys escape."
Chen Xiao'er rubbed the warm chest of the senior student and raised her phone: "Let's quickly hand over the evidence of her crime to the school!"
Looking at the girl's brilliant smile, Ling couldn't help but lower his head and kiss her forehead.
Xiao'er, what makes my heart beat faster is never when it returns to zero.
The crumpled contract fell to the ground and was stepped on by the girl.
She stood on tiptoe before picking up the contract.
