Chapter 233: Six remain, two left

Six remain, two left

The Serius figures outside the door waited for a long time but didn't wait for a second prey; instead, they waited for little Galiusha to arrive.

The moment they saw her appear, this "hunt" ended.

There was no way around it; even if these slices wanted to kill the Serius main body, they didn't dare to do it in front of Galiusha. After all, this experiment was still within the territory of the Grand Court of Judgment, and her grandfather was the sponsor of the experiment, and the only sponsor at that.

The plan to replace the main body might be tacitly approved by Kyn Laoer, but it must not be initiated in front of the little girl, because she had special feelings for Serius.

When Galiusha first came to this laboratory to ask the real Serius questions, this scholar from the Tower of Reason, skilled in seeking patterns, discovered her problem:

She was a little girl lacking family warmth; she longed to be loved and longed for care.

Out of consideration for the status quo, Serius supplemented the love missing in little Galiusha's heart with the image of a kind and amiable teacher. Regardless of the intention behind his "good deed," Galiusha was very grateful.

Therefore, no one dared to speak ill of Serius in front of Galiusha, let alone kill him.

But because of this, the Grand Inquisitor not only tacitly approved the slice replacement plan but also indulged the assassination by the Tower of Reason, because...

【Order】 never needs emotions.

So, the moment Galiusha appeared, all the Serius slices retreated; they retreated back into their experimental devices and stood honestly, waiting for the devices to generate new glass covers.

But there was still one Serius who didn't retreat back into the culture dish according to the plan, and that was the magician Li Yi.

The moment the blackout curtain fell, he stood close to the device but didn't walk inside. Not until he heard that the little girl and the knights had all left the experimental field did he jump out from the curtain, then quietly left, following the shadows.

Li Yi's heart was very uneasy; he knew this mysterious laboratory must have means to discover his tracks, but it just so happened that his journey out of the experimental field was very smooth, which left him puzzled. He could only attribute all the coincidences to the little girl who had just walked into the workshop.

She might be a very important person.

If he kidnapped...

Forget it, don't court death.

Li Yi denied his own thought, then walked out along the shadows in the experimental field. Seeing that he was about to leave this place, he hesitated again.

Because in previous trials, it was rare to have the opportunity to encounter a laboratory of such huge scale, and it was also hard to have the opportunity to enter such a laboratory with few guards, so there were probably still some "precious" things in this laboratory worth risking a look.

He stood against the wall for a long time, still deciding to take a gamble.

So he left a playing card under his feet, walked back along the way he came, and turned into a room that looked very much like a warehouse.

When the magician pushed the door and entered, seeing the countless glowing containers displayed in the room, he knew he had come to the right place.

【Germinating Divinity】!

No, it should be said that these were semi-finished products very close to 【Germinating Divinity】!

Serius clearly already had some results, and these results were just casually placed in a room like a warehouse, and there was no one guarding them at all!

Sure enough, just as Serius himself said, when "they" were numerous enough, guards could be dispensed with.

Not to mention that his current identity was also Serius; come to think of it, browsing his own warehouse was not unreasonable.

So Li Yi began to stroll in the warehouse, cautiously examining his surroundings while looking at the light clusters emitting faint light in these floating containers.

The shelves were marked with dense data text, none of which he recognized; he could only guess that these should be the characteristic data and mutation probabilities of these semi-finished products through a few common numerical symbols.

He kept turning and looking, finally discovering a relatively complete pale red light cluster in the deepest part of the warehouse, and the numbers below that light cluster were also significantly larger than the "commodities" on other shelves.

This was clearly a 【Germinating Divinity】 with a higher finished product rate. According to Serius's statement, if one swallowed this divinity, would it be possible to become that "Him with a glimmer of possibility"?

That was 【Him】! Even if it was just a prototype!

But that was also an opportunity to get closer to 【Them】!

Once this thought arose, it kept circling in Li Yi's mind, unable to be dispelled.

He almost couldn't control his desire to reach out to that container, but after struggling for a long time, he gave up.

Because he had figured out one more thing, which was:

"Becoming Him with a glimmer of possibility" was a matter of huge risk!

Not to mention how he could accommodate the 【Germinating Divinity】 mutated from the common recognition of others, just the fact that this result was placed in such a conspicuous place showed that the success rate must be extremely low!

If not, Serius would have long since "enjoyed" the 【Germinating Divinity】 stripped from this container and would never have placed it here waiting for some destined person.

Li Yi's eyes turned red because of greed; he tried his best to suppress all his desires, withdrew his hand with bulging veins, and sighed through gritted teeth:

"Phew—forget it, it cannot be forced."

He took one more look at the container emitting light before him, hardened his heart, and used a trick to teleport himself to a position outside the experimental field.

After he left, in this quiet warehouse, in a dark corner not illuminated by light, a Serius with an inexplicable expression slowly walked out.

"A pity, almost able to observe a new experiment.

But it's also good, let you go out first to scout the path and see what the attitude of that Grand Inquisitor is toward me, toward this laboratory."

With a faint gaze glancing at the direction of the warehouse door, Serius slowly hid into the shadows again.

Li Yi escaped; he finally escaped.

He left this terrifying and gloomy laboratory, running fast along the tunnel upward, running all the way to the depths of that abandoned mine.

But when he found the only elevator in the mine, he was puzzled; there was one thing he couldn't understand:

Why would the Iron Law Knights, who hadn't even appeared in front of the laboratory, appear here?

And, the attire of this knight seemed different from all the previous knights.

Before Li Yi could speak first, the knight spoke, his voice somewhat majestic:

"Mr. Serius, that lord does not wish for you to appear anywhere outside the laboratory; please return the way you came and do not make things difficult for me."

Li Yi frowned, deliberately blurring his voice:

"Lord Galiusha summoned me, and I am going by invitation, which is in accordance with the regulations. If you have any questions, you can go and ask your superiors."

"Mr. Serius, please do not take me for a fool; Lord Galiusha would not summon you at this time at all." The knight touched his nose, his gaze revealing disdain, and sternly rejected him.

Li Yi stared in astonishment, shocked and furious:

"Cheng Shi!

You actually didn't die!?

Don't take me for a fool either!

You didn't even cover up the nose-touching action; are you deliberately mocking me!?"

"Oops, discovered~"

The Iron Law Knight laughed like a villain, took off his black hood, and revealed the face beneath the hood that looked quite decent.

It was exactly Cheng Shi!

He hadn't left either.

Or rather, when he knew this was the only way out of the laboratory besides returning the way he came under the ruins, he "moved in," living next to the mine elevator.

As for the reason...

【Fate】's prophecy tells me that only I will survive this round, so I am waiting for fate to deliver the rabbit to my stake.

Now it seems fate hasn't broken its promise.

The rabbit has come.

Although wearing a scholar's face, it can be seen that it is the same one waited for last time.

But what does the "didn't die" the rabbit said... mean?

Oh, understood, it seems someone blocked the disaster for him.

Wonder who is so kind?

"Tsk, you really did something to my scalpel."

Cheng Shi's tone was somewhat sighing; he originally didn't intend to kill Li Yi, because he felt Li Yi wasn't too bad a person and still had the potential for continued cooperation.

And as a magician, Li Yi was very similar to the magician Cheng Shi imagined, which raised a touch of hero cherishing hero in Cheng Shi.

But he didn't expect the magician seemingly didn't like him.

A pity, liars really cannot be trusted!

Seeing Cheng Shi's complex expression, Li Yi frowned slightly and stepped back, pinching a few playing cards in his hand and speaking cautiously:

"No need to act; we never trusted each other. What exactly do you want..."

"Boom—"

A thunderous roar suddenly came from the underground mine.

It wasn't that the warrior of today didn't want to display his martial prowess; he just didn't want to give the magician any chance for a "great escape."

This 【Thunder Ruling】 was too decisive and too fast, the timing of the strike too unexpected, so fast that no one could react, even if the opponent was a magician full of tricks!

So this time there was no rain of cards, nor a great escape; the magician, at the end of his rope, finally ushered in the finale of the play.

Li Yi died, died cleanly and neatly.

Cheng Shi withdrew his hand, sneered, and turned to leave.

When you did something to my scalpel and harbored murderous intent toward me, you should have expected this day.

It just so happens that I've watched too many poker shows and am a bit tired of them.

Must say, 【Fate】, ah, still let me wait for that dead rabbit; what He writes seems to always be a complete script.

"Goodbye, my dear Mr. Magician."

As Cheng Shi's figure disappeared into the mine, this 【Chaos】 trial...

Six remain, two left, 【Void】 one each. ===== CHAPTER 234 =====
