Chapter 166 The Emperor
Lou Su and Chu Xihen looked over when they heard the sound. It was Gao Lin running towards them with his hand waving, and behind him was a whole team of bounty hunters.
"Didn't he call you by your name before? Why did he change it to Brother Chu?" Lou Su asked curiously.
Chu Xihen looked at Jiang Zang and his men running towards this side and said, "They must have been forced into doing this."
When they got closer, they saw Jiang Zang patting Gao Lin on the shoulder and praising him, "Look, isn't this natural? As members of the Guardian Alliance, we should respect our gods and not always call them Xihen Xihen. It's not polite at all."
Jiang Zang smiled and greeted Chu Xihen after he finished speaking: "Boss, long time no see!"
"Long time no see." Chu Xihen nodded to everyone. When he heard the words "Guardian Alliance" again, he still had the urge to dig his toes into the ground.
He didn't understand how Jiang Zang could say such words so naturally and without affectation?
"Gao Lin, where are your teammates? Why are you the only one here?" Ling Yao said in surprise: "Bai Jinli and Su Yan can't be..."
"Didn't the pigeon message you gave us tell us to go to Base 117?" Gao Lin interrupted Ling Yao. "Jinli has water-attributed abilities, so she doesn't dare to come over. She is staying in Base 117 with Su Yan. It's very lively there right now."
Originally, Chu Xihen and the others had agreed with Hao Ren to let Hao Ren take his men to the Superpower Bureau later, but as they were blocked by the ice wall, Hao Ren had no choice but to stay at Base 117. At least the base had complete living facilities and he would not be frozen.
"But don't worry, big boss. Those people with special abilities in Base 117 have all been screened by us. They absolutely dare not have any thoughts about those who have passed the test, and most of them have already joined the Guardian Alliance." Jiang Zang made a guarantee.
"Is there still a little more?" Ling Yao asked.
Jiang Zang was very angry when talking about this. "They think the name of the Guardian Alliance is too childish and don't want to join. How tasteless!"
Chu Xihen raised his forehead, he thought that the small number of people who did not join were normal people with taste.
"Xihen...Brother." Gao Lin called out Chu Xihen's name subconsciously, and instantly felt Jiang Zang's threatening eyes. He stiffly added the word "brother" at the end.
Gao Lin continued, "Jinli said he made some discoveries and would like to invite you and Brother Lou to go back to Base 117."
"We guessed that you should be guarding the ice wall here, so we came over to take over your duties. Boss, you go to the base and leave this place to us. We will send pigeons to inform you if anything happens." Jiang Lu said to Chu Xihen with a serious expression.
Chu Xihen started to become cold again and was not able to speak clearly. Lou Su acted as his spokesperson and briefly introduced Jiang Zang and Xie Ling. Then he said to Xie Ling, "We have a friend whose skills may affect the results of my retrospection. Dr. Xie, do you want to go meet him together?"
Hearing this, Xie Ling naturally would not refuse. He held the little Shiba Inu and followed the others upstairs.
Gao Lin thought what Lou Su just said was a little strange. "Brother Lou, what do you mean by the backtracking result?"
"Let's talk about it when we get to base 117." Otherwise, he would have to tell Bai Jinli everything again when he got to the base.
Returning to Base 117 again and seeing the familiar gate, Ling Yao said angrily, "It's over. I feel like we can never leave Base 117!"
Hao Ren, who received the news, ran out and had the same thought after seeing Chu Xihen and others.
After Hao Ren welcomed a few people upstairs, he met Bai Jinli and Su Yan.
Su Yan was also very happy to see Chu Xihen and the others. When she opened her mouth to call his name, she hesitated and called out "Brother Chu".
It seems that Jiang Zang has been very successful in brainwashing his alliance members.
"Just call my name." Chu Xihen said.
It still sounds awkward when someone older than you calls you "brother", and it feels even more awkward for the person who calls you that.
In comparison, Bai Jinli's greeting to the two was much simpler. He just nodded slightly to indicate that he saw them and that was it.
Xie Ling rubbed the little Shiba Inu and asked, "Are you really friends? You look like enemies."
"We were enemies originally." Chu Xihen did not sugarcoat the relationship between him and Bai Jinli.
Logically speaking, Bai Jinli doesn't want to be influenced by the plot and should stay away from him and Lou Su to avoid being upset. But the plot doesn't allow it. Even if they are a million miles apart in reality, they will still meet once the copy is summoned.
Besides, they are all in a situation, and no one can escape their fate without breaking the situation, so they can only endure the discomfort in their hearts, deal with Xiao Chou together, and then go their separate ways.
There was a heater in the room, and Chu Xihen was finally no longer cold. He could even take off his down jacket and sit in the room wearing a white wool sweater.
Chu Xihen brought his teammates, Bai Jinli as well as Xie Ling who was holding a little Shiba Inu, all crowded into a room to listen to Bai Jinli talk about the information he had discovered.
"I gained a special skill in the previous copy." Bai Jinli didn't waste any more words and got straight to the point.
When he said this, many people frowned.
Other people's special skills are hard to come by. Many times, it is already very good to have an attribute skill card after completing a dungeon. Only Bai Jinli can get a special skill almost every time he completes a dungeon.
He is indeed the chosen one!
Xie Ling saw the expressions on everyone's faces and could guess something without asking for details.
The young man in front of me, surnamed Bai, must be the legendary Emperor Europe.
"What kind of skills?" Xie Ling asked.
Bai Jinli said: "The skill is called [Floating Life Fantasy], and the introduction says that it can make the target fall into a dream that I made up for him."
Xie Ling's eyes lit up immediately after hearing this, "Are you planning to use this skill on Xiao Chou?"
"Will it work? It seems that our skills cannot be used on NPCs in the dungeon, let alone Xiao Chou." Gao Lin asked doubtfully.
"There are some skills that can be used against NPCs." Chu Xihen said and looked at the little Shiba Inu in Xie Ling's arms.
Xie Ling nodded. "Many of Xiao Yan's skills can be used on NPCs, but they are ineffective against Xiao Chou."
With Xie Ling's high IQ, knowing that Xiao Yan had special skills, he would have definitely let him try it on Xiao Chou the first time.
"So, Xiao Chou and the dungeon NPC are not on the same level, so my skill is probably useless. I haven't even tried it on the NPC yet. I just saw the skill description and this idea popped up in my mind." Bai Jinli said with a frown.
He originally had high expectations for this newly acquired skill, but after hearing what Xie Ling said, he realized that someone had already tried it before him, so he must have been overthinking it.
"Not necessarily. You can use it on Xiao Chou before the next copy opens." Chu Xihen said.
After all, Bai Jinli is the chosen one and one of the male protagonists. Since he can think of this level, this special skill must have its special features.
"Didn't that little ugly creature show up two days ago? It even attacked Base 117. Didn't you try it then?" Chu Xixi asked Bai Jinli.
Bai Jinli looked at Chu Xihen without saying a word.
Chu Xihen: "...Did you pass out again because of exhaustion?"
"Yes, Gao Lin, Jiang Zang and others carried him one after another on their backs. He only woke up when they were almost at Base 117." Su Yan explained.
Everyone: “…”
