Chapter 153 Time Stands Still
"Who is Xu Jin?" Lou Su asked.
Chu Xichi didn't mention this name when they told him about the things in the copy.
"It's a piece of trash who dragged my brother into the game." Chu Xichi said, and then added viciously, "It's that old lover of Xiao. They hugged and bit me as soon as they entered the dungeon. It's disgusting."
Xiao Yan, who had his mouth zipped up, couldn't help but speak, "It's just a paper man. Xi Hen saw it at a glance. He's not angry at all, right?"
He was talking about Chu Xihen, but his eyes were focused on Xie Ling beside him.
Unfortunately, Xie Ling didn't show any expression, which made Xiao Yan feel that his work was in vain.
He brought the topic back to the right track with a bit of lack of interest, "If your speculation just now is true, where does it put us, the survivors of the game?"
In this room, besides Chu Xihen, who completed the game, there are Xiao Yan, Hao Ren and his two teammates who are survivors of the game and are the desperate people who were directly selected into the dungeon.
Originally, the survivors of the game were considered superior in this doomsday, but after Xie Ling and Chu Xihen's analysis, it turned out that those who had entered the game first were the ones Xiao Chou looked down upon from the bottom of his heart?
"Why else would Xiao Chou call you bugs?" Chu Xi retorted fearlessly, but before she opened her mouth, she raised her hands to cover her eyes.
Xiao Yan smiled evilly, "Do you think I can't use my supernatural powers on you if you cover your eyes?"
Chu Xi replied sarcastically: "If you have the guts, wait until my supernatural power reaches level nine, and then I will beat you so hard that you will cry for your parents!"
"I have the advantage now, why should I wait for you? You'd better keep one eye open when you sleep at night." Xiao Yan threatened.
Chu Xichi was defeated by Xiao Yan's shamelessness and had to ask Chu Xihen for help, "Brother, help me beat him up!"
The one who helped Chu to calm down was Xie Ling. He pointed at the door and said, "Get out!"
He didn't mention anyone by name, but Xiao Yan consciously left the room.
Seeing this, Chu Xichi's face immediately showed a trace of admiration, and he praised innocently, "Big brother, you are really amazing."
Xie Ling had no expression on his face, and said seriously to Chu Xihen and Lou Su: "Now I solemnly invite you to go to the Superpower Bureau with me and cooperate with me in doing some research."
Hearing the word "research", Lou Su asked very sensitively, "What kind of research?"
Chu Xichi's expression changed instantly, "No wonder I thought your clothes looked so disgusting, it turns out you are just like those scumbags in the research institute."
"Research Institute?" Xie Ling paused. "If I'm not mistaken, you're talking about the HBP Research Institute? I'm different from them. My research doesn't harm anyone."
"You really do know." Chu Xi's alert eyes were filled with undisguised disgust.
Although she blew up the research institute, she was not sure whether all the people who participated in the research died inside. Maybe one or two scumbags were left outside.
"So what exactly do you want to do?" Lou Su asked again.
Xie Ling said frankly: "I made a machine that can monitor the fluctuations of superpower intensity around the world. One time, the machine showed that a superpower appeared in Chuan City. I then sent people to track him, but I didn't find him. Until the second superpower fluctuation appeared here, it coincided with the coordinates of the time thief. I also thought that the person who passed the level was the time thief."
But he couldn't figure it out. The players passed the game based on their own strength. Although Xiao Chou was reluctant to delay the arrival of the apocalypse, he finally agreed. He must have reached some kind of agreement with the players so that he would not be embarrassed after the apocalypse.
So another idea popped up in his mind, maybe the person who passed the level and the time thief were not the same person, but it could only be confirmed by seeing the person who passed the level with his own eyes. Unexpectedly, Xiao Yan met Chu Xihen in the fifth copy first and knew the answer in advance.
"The main reason why we can't compete with Xiao Chou now is that our ability levels are improving too slowly. I want to try my best to control the points of almost all the espers in Jing City in my own hands, and I have only trained four level nine espers. The experience required to upgrade from level nine to level ten is a thousand times more than the previous ones. It is impossible to upgrade by accumulating points in dungeons. So I want to find a way for you, a full-level esper, to quickly improve the ability levels of others."
After Xie Ling explained the reason for looking for Chu Xihen, he said to Lou Su: "As for you, I want to know how you stole Xiao Chou's time and made it hate you so much."
"Besides, your coordinates have been locked in the sky. I guess it has not been peaceful during this period. If you go to the Supernatural Bureau, you won't have these troubles. Someone will help you get rid of these troubles."
His words used a combination of threats and inducements.
Chu Xihen's expression didn't change after hearing this. He just asked, "How did you help the four of them improve their abilities?"
Xie Ling looked at him and sneered: "Do you think I would kill people to steal points? I'm not that low."
Jin Hang in the back said, "Dr. Xie had people build a lot of hibernation warehouses, so that those who don't want to risk entering the dungeon can transfer their points to the warehouses, and then hibernate in the warehouses. After avoiding the dungeon entry nodes, they will form a team to kill aliens. You probably haven't discovered that killing aliens can also earn a small amount of points."
"No wonder every time I spend all my points, I always have some extra change. I thought it was the ones left over after spending the bulk of my points, but it turns out they are points saved from killing aliens?" Ling Yao said, scratching the back of his head.
Every time they came out of a dungeon, they would have some points left over for emergencies, but the points needed for daily life were basically all covered by Chu Xihen, so they didn't pay attention to the slightest change in points. In addition, they didn't deliberately kill many alien species, so it was normal that they didn't notice it.
The points gained from killing aliens are so low that no one can feel the change. How idle was Xie Ling to find out about this and have people kill aliens in an organized way, raising four level nine mutants in one go?
"We can go with you, but even if we go to the Bureau of Superpowers, we need absolute freedom. We can leave anytime when we want." Lou Su made a decision after some thought.
He did not ask Chu Xihen for his opinion because he knew that Chu Xihen would definitely agree.
To them, Xiao Chou is not only a monster that brings the end of the world, but also a person who can push the direction of the plot. As long as he is there, Chu Xihen's safety will be threatened.
So Lou Su decided to take the initiative and use the power of the Super Power Bureau to make Xiao Chou disappear from this world!
"Of course, you are always free." Xie Ling said and stood up. "Get ready. I'll try to contact the headquarters and ask them to send a few more helicopters. If not, we'll have to walk back."
Xie Ling led his people out of the room, and Chu Xihen drove the others away as well, wanting to have a private word with Lou Su.
When the door of the room was closed and there were only two people left in the room, Chu Xihen didn't waste any more words and gave the special power he got after killing the big banyan tree to Lou Su.
"【Time Freeze】?" After seeing the introduction of the skill card, Lou Su raised his eyebrows slightly, "It is indeed a skill that suits me as a time thief."
Anyone can learn special skills, but Chu Xihen kept the skill card until he woke up. Lou Su thought this was Chu Xihen's love for him.
"Yes, it's obvious that this skill belongs to you, learn it quickly." Chu Xihen urged.
At this time, none of them knew that the effect of this skill would far exceed their imagination in the near future...
