Chapter 255 The Professor's Actions
Thirty minutes ago, Milo turned his gaze away from the falling hot air balloon.
[“Why don’t you take this opportunity to take Xiao’ai away?”] The devil chuckled in his mind.
Impossible, she would not abandon Chen Xiaotong.
[“Okay.”] The devil said nonchalantly. [“Then take Xiao’ai and run away with it?”]
Miroku did not respond to the devil's deliberate words.
Both she and the devil knew that if they didn't keep Chen Xiaotong, they wouldn't be able to go far. Unless—they could borrow the devil's power for a long time.
She nimbly climbed over the flower bed and looked in the other direction.
A blond devil was lying on the edge of the lawn, eating voraciously, specifically picking off the escaping anomalies and cultists.
【“How uneducated.”】The devil sneered when he saw it eating like animals.
Are you responsible for educating her?
Milo's words obviously caused some mental damage. The devil remained indifferent and did not even tease her about why she cared about this little animal.
Instead, Miroku took the initiative to explain, "I need help now. She is Xiao'er's acquaintance, and she can help Xiao'er escape with Ling and Lan under the cognitive filter."
"Oh?" The devil couldn't help but question, "Are you going to trust this guy's credibility, or are you absolutely certain that Lan and Zero won't make even the slightest mistake while protecting them?"
I don't know Lan very well, Miroku admitted frankly.
I just believe that Xinnaya cannot resist Chen Xiao'er's order, and she will naturally agree to protect Chen Xiao'er and do it.
"I don't know what gives you such confidence?" the devil commented sarcastically. "Perhaps resetting to zero can enforce unequal contracts, but you can't rely entirely on luck."
Ta-da, ta-da.
Milo smiled coldly in his heart: Don’t you think about why I have to explain so much to you?
【“......”】
The devil was silent for a moment, and then a hearty laugh echoed in his mind.
......
The human form is so inconvenient!
Sinaya lay on the ground, trying to make the surrounding demonic flames burn more vigorously so that she could lick more prey.
These frightened fat sheep were enough to temporarily appease her hungry stomach, but the cracks in the core were like whips that kept lashing the devil's flaming body.
Come on, give me more, more, more—
Damn it, Chen Xiao'er! How many times must my heart be broken for you? Xinaya swallowed energy in huge gulps, a strange premonition welling up in her heart: if she continued to pursue Chen Xiao'er, endlessly repeating this spiral of "chase-argument-fight-surrender-growth-chase," she might one day realize some strange power.
Her hands trembled with fear and anticipation: What will be the end of you and me? Just thinking about it would stir up a storm in her soul.
Click. A boot gently stepped into the range of the demonic flame, causing a wave of calmness to appear.
This action is very elegant, just like a human gently touching the water surface with his fingers to remind the insects on the leaves: she is coming.
Xinaya quickly retracted the flames, her emerald eyes flickering with fear. "Why are you here?"
As her experience grew, she could see that this fellow tribesman had ill intentions and was probably not here to help.
"I'm here to help you." The other party gave a completely different answer from what was expected in the next second.
The demonic flame licked the cracked core, and Xinaya raised the corner of her lips: "Oh? How can you help?"
"Didn't you say last time that you wanted to win Chen Xiao'er's favor?" Mi Luo said with a smile, "I have a way to make her like you."
"A little bit of affection is still affection. One plus negative 99 equals negative 98."
The smile of her fellow tribesman continued to grow in her eyes, and Xinaya wanted to refuse arrogantly.
But her mind suddenly flashed back to the completely failed encounter with Chen Xiao'er ["Chop off her head!"]
Chen Xiao'er...can I really refuse this deal?
I can't.
Xinnaya's hair covered her eyes. "No matter what, earning your first pot of gold is the hardest." Chen Xiao'e had no good feelings towards me from the beginning, only malicious human fantasies.
If this continues, even if I kneel down in front of her and beg for forgiveness, she will only think about how to play tricks on me today.
Phew~ Xinnaya quietly unclenched her fist and raised her eyebrows at Milo: "Your conditions are very good, but why are you helping me like this?"
"It's very simple." Milo pushed his glasses up, a flash of scarlet light flashing in his golden eyes: "I don't want the church's power ceremony to succeed. It will interfere with my plan."
"..." The response from her fellow tribesman was sincere, and what he said was consistent with her guess.
Xinaya was trying to figure out the other party's trump card in her mind: This powerful fellow must have paid a huge price to get into the church circle. If every plan of the church was a great success, how could she sabotage it?
It seems that allowing Guanghui to obtain power is already the limit. She will never allow the church to measure the power and put it completely on her head!
Xinnaya revealed the other party's trump card, and the fear in her heart finally dissipated a lot.
The fellow tribesman smiled lightly and elegantly at the right moment, and took the initiative to extend his left hand to her.
Humph, what a relaxed posture.
Xinnaya stretched out her right hand: "Okay, I agree."
Before she could finish her words, the thinly gloved left hand of her fellow tribesman suddenly approached and firmly grasped her right hand!
Their palms touched instantly, and a tremendous force pressed towards her, burning along the flames towards the core -
Wh-what?
Xinnaya's face twisted in fury: This guy actually attacked my core directly?!
For creatures of the abyss, this kind of attack that directly touches the core is equivalent to a human punching through the enemy's body and making direct contact with the internal organs.
How could creatures of equal strength fight like this?!
hateful.
Xinnaya gritted her teeth and endured the strange-colored flames rising from her body. She finally realized the difference between demons.
This super ancient old monster is not at the same level as me. Is she crazy? Why does she pretend to be a human and lurk among the crowd?
Snap! Just as she was reaching the point of extreme regret, the man suddenly let go and very naturally took a few steps back. It was a very, very polite gesture.
Huh... Xinaya looked at Milo with a complicated expression. She did not suffer any damage in the "attack" just now. Instead, a golden-red energy mixed into the flame, temporarily gluing the cracks on the core.
This old guy just forced me to sign an unequal temporary contract.
Professor Milo stroked his forehead soothingly with his fingers: "Don't worry, the price you have to pay is the same as gaining Chen Xiao'er's favor."
She looked at the devil's uncertain expression and smiled brightly: "Before the contract ends, I need you to be loyal to Chen Xiao'er, more loyal than a dog."
......
After placing the young devil in the grass, Professor Milo rushed to the clock tower without stopping.
On the way, she saw the apostles and senior janitors carrying Chen Xiaotong into the tower, and naturally used the floor plan provided by Guanghui to hide in the blind spot of the surveillance.
Chen Xiao'er quickly retreated from the room, and the apostles also left the "temporary infirmary" and went to various areas to patrol or stand by according to instructions.
In the end, the only ones left in the room were the newborn snake pretending to be dead and two senior school workers who were left behind to mislead Chen Xiao'er.
After confirming that the two of them definitely did not have much authority, Milo poked the devil in his heart: Come, let me borrow your power again. I want to hypnotize them temporarily and modify their memories of this period of time.
"What good am I?"
The good thing is that you want to do it too.
"Well, you're such a tightwad."
Thank you for the compliment.
A cluster of golden-red flames rose from Milo's fingertips, and the flames flew around the invisible thread, shooting towards the humans in the room.
Their knees shook twice, their eyes were fixed, and finally, like two stiff puppets, they opened the wardrobe and crawled in one after the other.
Miroku locked the wardrobe, then came to the bed and knocked on the bed board.
Her movements were as polite as knocking on the door, but Chen Xiaotong on the bed still had her eyes closed and did not move, as if she was really seriously injured.
How is her injury? Milo couldn't help asking the devil.
【“It’s healed now.”】The devil couldn’t help laughing.
Okay.
Milo pushed her glasses with a mixture of laughter and tears. She had originally wondered if it was the reset to zero that restricted the beast's physique, but now it seemed that he was just a little brat who was pretending to be sick to avoid punishment from his parents.
She continued to knock on the bed and whispered, "Hurry up and get up. If you take the initiative to admit to Chen Xiao'er that you are faking illness, I will say a few good words for you."
[“Don’t try to trick me. I don’t make deals with the devil.”] The child’s voice reached her mind through her spirit body.
This child.
"Having the stubbornness of an abyssal creature and the naiveté of a human child, it truly is the best of both worlds."
Hearing the devil's sarcastic comment, Miroku swallowed his words "you come and coax her".
The Newborn Snake is Chen Xiao'er's sister, and she cannot be forced to cooperate with a contract. Besides, her loyalty to Chen Xiao'er must be enough, but her brain circuit is a little strange.
Milo recalled some relevant knowledge about psychology. Just as he was about to move a stool to sit beside the bed and start a long speech, he heard the voices of Chen Xiao'er and Ling talking outside the window.
She, the devil, and the newborn snake all held their breath and listened to the sounds outside.
The atmosphere took a turn for the worse after the first sentence.
“I don’t think the church should remove the apostles’ emotions. Humans still need emotional intelligence sometimes.”
I know. Miroku took off his glasses and rubbed his nose with a headache.
Zero was clearly aware of the existence of cognitive filters, but her way of avoiding them was not very clever.
Chen Xiao'er was attacking directly. The simpler Ling's answers were, the more easily he would be distorted by his cognitive filters. She should have used her status as a lover to achieve her goal through lies and sweet talk containing partial truths.
The three of them listened quietly until the end, but no miracle happened. How dare Zero just turn around and leave?
Now there are at least two people here who want to grab her ears and make her lie on the ground like a ball, so that at least Chen Xiao'er can kick her to vent her anger.
[“Okay, don’t be too harsh. It’s mainly due to the zeroing effect.”] The devil said something fair.
Miroku turned to the bedside with an expressionless face. This time, she patted the bedside table vigorously and said loudly, "You can see that your sister needs comfort right now. Do you want to get up and admit your mistake by yourself, or do you want me to pick you up and admit your mistake?"
Chen Xiaotong's eyelashes trembled rapidly: My sister said don't do what the enemy wants you to do, the devil is the enemy!
After a struggle, she chose to escape with a clear conscience.
"Okay." Milo smiled sinisterly.
She opened the window, stretched her hand out, and raised her fingertips slightly towards the crying girl.
