"There's no time; we need to find the key as soon as possible."
"We must be able to bypass him at any time and directly activate the final stage of the inner world, dragging the entire world into eternal silence!"
The old man's hoarse voice, tinged with impatient anxiety, echoed in the oppressive conference room beside the main seat.
Absolute destruction cannot be hindered by anyone's personal feelings.
"I think that going against him head-on is definitely not the best strategy to bypass him."
"We need a bargaining chip."
Wen Xuan lowered his voice even further.
"Cheers?"
"You mean... those two women he's been paying unusual attention to lately? The one who's purely human and the one who's a rabbit?"
The mean-spirited woman raised an eyebrow.
"Yes, since his attitude towards that pure human named Zixi is so unusual."
"We can use her as leverage."
A calculating glint flashed in Wen Xuan's eyes.
"...It's worth a try, but it must be done cleanly and decisively, leaving no trace that could involve us."
The old man remained silent before making his final decision.
"clear."
Wen Xuan's face revealed a confident smile.
Not being pulled into the other world, Zi Xi and Mona were like two salted fish, doing nothing at the base.
Occasionally, I help the base with whatever I can.
One day, while crossing a fork in the road, another group of people happened to be walking from the opposite direction.
It's Xu Tiantian and her parents.
With a look of joy at finally gaining freedom and a hint of superiority on her face, Xu Tiantian was holding her parents' arms and talking to them.
They saw Zixi and Mona, along with three other people in work uniforms, heading in a direction that was clearly not the exit.
She paused for a moment, then a complex expression appeared on her face.
"Zhou Zixi? Mona? What did you do wrong? You were kicked out of the base?"
Xu Tiantian couldn't help but speak up.
Zi Xi and the others didn't speak, but the leading man gave Xu Tiantian a cold glance.
That gaze silenced her instantly, and she instinctively shrank back behind her parents.
Mona pursed her lips speechlessly.
Sister Xi is right, there's no need to argue with this kind of person, it's a waste of time.
Zi Xi didn't turn around; she simply followed the staff step by step toward the research lab.
She could feel Xu Tiantian's gaze following them until the lab door closed, finally blocking the persistent prying eyes from outside.
"Sister Xi! That Xu Tiantian is so annoying! She always stares at us for no reason and says weird things!"
"It was the same during the last quarantine, and it's the same this time!"
As soon as Mona entered the research lab, she couldn't wait to whisper to Zixi.
"Did she just speak?"
Zi Xi took off her Bluetooth earphones and put them in her pocket.
She thought the female lead was just staring at them inexplicably and talking to the people next to her.
So he was talking to them.
“Yeah, we’re not familiar with her either. Every time she sees us, she acts like she’s holding her head up to the sky.”
Mona gets angry whenever this is mentioned. If they hadn't been brought to the base, they would never have met.
That Xu Tiantian always acts all high and mighty, like she's got her tail sticking up to the sky.
I don't know what they're so smug about.
