Chapter 55
Not only that, after the Star Network detected traces of Xikes accessing Lu Mi's information, he was instantly locked down by countless network surveillance cameras.
【warn! 】
The screen was filled with scarlet fonts, as if this was not an ordinary superhuman interface, but an SSS-level secret.
Six stared at the screen in confusion.
At this moment, Lu Mi had already walked to the second floor of the manor. At the door of his own room, he saw the president of the K8 branch.
"Are you leaving?" The president seemed to have heard their conversation.
The man still looked as lazy as when we first met, and the prosthetic leg on his left leg made his movements a little inconvenient.
Lu Mi nodded and asked, "President, why are you here?" He rarely saw the other party leave the office.
"Look what you said, one of your few employees is leaving, and you won't allow me to see him off?"
“…”Ah, generally speaking there is no problem, but you are usually either elusive or simply too lazy to move.
"Ahem," the president coughed awkwardly, then pressed the scanning artificial eye on his left. The eye looked up slightly, as if passing through the ceiling above his head and into the outside world.
The president's voice became slightly serious. "Besides, that power in the sky... I really can't ignore it..."
Lu Mi paused and said, "I will take them away in a while."
"Ah, no, I didn't mean to rush you..." The president waved his hands repeatedly, then suddenly changed his tone, "No, it's better to leave early. In fact, I just sent a call to headquarters. Although headquarters deliberately suppressed the news and didn't reveal anything, they were very anxiously asking if you had returned..."
He laughed heartily at this and looked at Lu Mi with burning eyes, "It seems you have done something quite remarkable!"
Lu Mi remained silent, and the president continued, "Although you may not be interested, the presidents of all branches have just received a notice from headquarters that a major overhaul is imminent. Many high-level officials will also be punished. It is said that the three current candidates for president are among them. The entire Golden Clock team has been dismissed pending investigation—"
"It is estimated that the entire supernatural world will be in great turmoil for a long time to come."
"Thank you." Lu Mi knew that as the president of the K8 branch, the other party would inevitably be under pressure from the headquarters because of him.
This pressure may not be malicious, but it will definitely not be easy.
"I should be the one to say thank you." The president waved his hand.
To put it bluntly, he had given up on himself ever since he was exiled here. He never thought that he would be able to witness such a grand spectacle in his lifetime - the towering tree called "Headquarters" was actually uprooted one day!
Although it is inevitable to cause some damage now, the rotten branches and leaves finally get the chance to be removed, which will lead to a better future!
The president made way behind him and said, "If you need help with anything, just tell me. At least today, I can guarantee that those troublemakers won't be able to get here."
Lu Mi smiled and opened the door. "I have sorted out some information in the archives. If you need it, take it out."
President: “Is it okay?” Although he didn’t know what the information was, it was definitely not ordinary stuff.
"Yeah," Lu Mi walked into the house without looking back, "it's just work."
As he spoke, Lu Mi had already come to the mirror in the bedroom. He paused and looked back.
The president was leaning against the door, watching his movements leisurely. He even blinked when he saw him looking over. "Do you want me to step aside?"
Lu Mi: "...not really."
The devilish thirst for knowledge and extreme curiosity are probably common problems among all extraordinary people.
Forget it, the headquarters already knows about it anyway, so there is no need to cover it up at home.
Then, the next second, the president standing at the door suddenly opened his eyes wide.
It's not that he wasn't mentally prepared. In fact, the president had made many assumptions about the identity and strength of the silver-eyed young man since just now. However, the facts proved that the truth was always more shocking.
"King." The being who first stepped out of the mirror possessed a pair of thin wings that shone like diamonds. He nodded at the young man, then his emotionless, cold eyes quickly locked onto the stranger.
Just one glance, and the extreme sense of oppression from the spiritual level made the president's heart sink.
"Ji Zhou," but with Lu Mi's call, the cold murderous intent instantly receded like a tide. Lu Mi said, "He is not an enemy."
Then the strongest and most powerful Zerg instantly became obedient. He was like the most loyal guard in front of the throne, and no one except the young man with silver eyes could be reflected in his eyes.
After that, the Zerg hordes that remained in the mirror world came out one by one, and the bedroom soon became unable to accommodate them.
Lu Mi simply raised his hand and opened the floor-to-ceiling window of the bedroom. The strong wind rushed in through the window, blowing the light curtains into the air.
"Go to the Ark in heaven." Their King gave this order.
Although they still didn't know what the Ark was, no one questioned it. The Zerg immediately spread their wings and shot up into the sky like streams of light.
The president standing at the door had unconsciously lowered his arms, which were originally folded.
"Sorry, I used the branch as our base without your permission." Lu Mi thought the other party minded this.
But the president didn't know that he hadn't thought about anything at all. He opened his mouth blankly, "Ah... No, it's okay..." He paused, and suddenly asked, "Is the K8 branch already famous in the Abyss?"
If Lu Mi hadn't said it, he wouldn't have even realized that there were so many high-level Abyss beings hidden in the K8 branch all along!? ?
No, compared to the fact that Lu Mi was actually called "King" by these beings, it doesn't seem that difficult to accept?
——What a ghost!!
Following the Zerg army, the belated Mirror Demon clamped the red dragon's claws with one hand, and appeared with slightly messy hair on his forehead.
"You... are back... Ke'er has been very irritable lately." Jiabo's current condition did not allow him to approach the silver-eyed young man immediately.
Lu Mi saw the white-haired demon holding the red dragon's claw with one hand.
The young dragon shrank to the size of a ball, but its claw expanded to the size of its true body. In addition, the red dragon's body continued to grow - it seemed that it would soon return to its original size.
Before arriving to see Lu Mi, the demon had already suppressed the red dragon in the mirror world, but it also delayed him for some time.
"Woo-woo-woo-" Until now, the red dragon has been making low humming sounds.
Lu Mi quickly checked the red dragon's condition, "Ker'er?"
Perhaps it was his calling that worked, but the red dragon's originally sharp vertical pupils shrank slightly, and then it suddenly opened its mouth and spewed out a mouthful of dragon fire towards the window.
"boom!"
The red dragon suddenly broke free from the demon's shackles and drilled out directly from the big hole that was blasted out.
Its body quickly grew larger in mid-air, and in the blink of an eye, its outstretched wings covered the entire sky of the manor, filling it with the scarlet color of dragon scales.
Lu Mi looked at the red dragon, who seemed unable to hear what others were saying, and frowned slightly. "Ker'er's condition is indeed a little strange."
The dragon's body is incomparable. If this continues, the noise will be too loud.
Lu Mi did not linger any longer. He extended his hand to the demon who was staring at him, "Let's go too, Jiabo."
After a slight pause, Jiabo shook the hand without hesitation.
The two of them flew straight into the sky and landed on the back of the red dragon through the window.
Lu Mi touched the red dragon's shaking back and soothed it softly: "Ke'er, go to the city in the sky. Can you hear my voice?" He added some fairy-like purifying power.
"Woo——" The red dragon's eyes cleared up for a moment, and he responded with a bit of grievance.
"Good boy." Lu Mi stroked its scales, "Fly higher."
On the second floor of the manor, Six and Donald broke open the door and rushed in.
Donald: "What happened, I heard a loud noise-"
The rest of the words were drowned out by his dumbfounded expression.
For some reason, a large hole appeared in the wall, and a flame that had not yet been extinguished remained on the broken bricks and stones, and bursts of terrifying energy came from within.
The billowing smoke gradually dissipated with the strong wind.
The president took a deep breath and went forward to pick up the shattered window frame. "Really? He left in such a hurry..."
"President, why are you here? Where is Lu Mi?" Donald finally came back to his senses and asked hurriedly.
The president didn't answer him, "What are you holding in your hand?"
"Oh, it's the camera. I'm almost done developing the photos, and I want to leave a copy for Lu Mi."
Donald's attention was instantly diverted, causing the two to shake their heads.
"...He's gone?" Six walked up to the president and asked with a strange tone and a complicated expression.
The president looked at the other party's slightly strange attitude in surprise and asked, "You know?"
"The only place with the authority to forbid me from accessing it is headquarters." Six thought of the webpage with "Forbidden" written all over it and sighed. "Also, just now at the window in the first-floor corridor—"
He remembered how he was stunned with his pupils wide open just now.
"How could anyone not see the red that spread across the sky like that...except for that idiot?"
Donald, whom Beshkes called a "fool", was staring motionlessly at the photos he had developed with great difficulty.
The photo was not the simple solo photo he had imagined.
The golden god is surrounded by stars.
God stands in the starry universe, His palms hold up the stars, and the stars in the distance are falling towards Him in an overwhelming manner.
It looked less like a photograph and more like the first scene in the cathedral's epic story of creation.
It seemed that in the next scene, the planet at the fingertips would breed endless life, and the gods with lowered eyes would truly look up.
"Everyone's soul is a star." For some reason, Donald suddenly thought of the words of the old man who sold him the camera at that time. He was just an ordinary, even down-and-out vendor, but his pair of eyes, shining brightly, left a deep impression on him.
The man said, "If you're lucky, you can see the appearance of souls in the world from the photos. Some are faint, some are shining."
"Everyone... is a star..." Donald muttered to himself, suddenly clenching the photo in his hand and holding the blue steel that was given to him and hung around his neck.
If that were the case, then that being, surrounded by stars, must be devoutly worshipped by countless followers.
This belief even elevated his soul unconsciously, so in this photo—
Others are the stars, and you are the sun.
Suddenly, a long sigh from Six came to my ear. "In the world outside the world, he has already walked ahead."
While all of them were still confined to their own horizons, stories beyond their imagination had actually already happened around them.
Above the sky, the rising red dragon flew across the blue sky.
On this day, everyone in this small and remote star region heard a long dragon roar.
For a star region where one thing can be talked about for a long time, this quickly became a new legend in the town.
…
"You're back." The demons waiting on the Ark came towards them.
"How did you get injured?" Lu Mi looked at the wounds of varying sizes on their bodies in surprise.
"We haven't seen each other for a long time, so we had a little discussion."
"It seems the battle is very fierce." Lu Mi raised his eyebrows slightly.
Apart from anything else, even the demon's self-healing ability couldn't stop the bleeding, which shows that everyone is taking it seriously.
Theo pulled the corner of his mouth open and licked his lips that still had a fishy smell. "Not bad."
Lu Mi looked at the other person's satisfied expression and knew that he was really happy.
Lu Mi glanced at the red dragon, which had calmed down a bit, and said to everyone, "Then, let's go to the gate of Tartarus and return to the abyss."
It was obvious that everyone had been waiting for this sentence for a long time.
"That's great. I'm also looking forward to seeing the lands you conquered." Aronfoss's eyes lit up.
"Where should we go first?" a demon asked.
Under the frantic instigation of many Zerg, Ji Zhou stepped forward to ask, "King, you haven't been to our Western Region yet."
"I've heard that the Western Regions are desolate and in need of reconstruction. It would be better to return to the Southern Regions. At least there are some remnants of civilization there." Shi Guang said softly.
Being watched by everyone, Lu Mi quickly made a decision, "Go to the Northern Territory."
He stroked the dispirited Ke'er and said, "The Northern Territory is the safest and most familiar place right now. Let's go there to rest for a while, and then..."
"Then?" Everyone's expression brightened.
"Ker said it sensed a dangerous aura coming from the east."
"Is this the reason why it's been so restless?" Jiabo knew that Lu Mi could "hear" the red dragon's voice. "Is it related to the dragon clan?"
Only those related to the dragon clan will be noticed by the young dragon alone, and will have no effect on demons like them.
"But, hasn't the dragon clan been extinct for a long time?"
"Who knows..."
