Dark Light Chaser.

Chapter 635 Cooperation
The Apostles' interference was something Ai Liang hadn't anticipated.

This greatly intensified Ai Liang's sense of crisis.

It should be noted that Yue Yangyan had previously used his disciples to turn a blind eye and almost kept three members of the Apostles Society in the Asia Alliance forever, but that was not long ago.

As someone who experienced it firsthand, Ai Liang was extremely wary of Yue Yangyan.

Is he planning to bring in the Apostles again this time?
Even if it isn't true, we still have to be wary.

"The main force of the Apostles will arrive soon. You'd better give me an answer as soon as possible. There's not much time left for you to consider."

Travis tapped the ground with his cane, urging Ai Liang to make a decision as soon as possible.

Although he was urging him on verbally, he remained calm.

Travis, after all, is an apostle and the highest authority of the Special Affairs Bureau. He wouldn't flatter and pester Ai Liang to invite him to join.

He still has the most basic composure.

But his darting little eyes betrayed his inner anticipation.

Ai Liang's brain began to work at lightning speed, imagining every possible future.

Ai Liang had never considered joining any faction before.

For Ai Liang, what others can give is readily available to her, but what she wants is something no one can give her.

Joining a faction not only fails to improve one's life, but can actually become a burden and a constraint.

However, finding a force that can share the pressure is clearly more beneficial than harmful at present.

If he were to act unethically, Ai Liang could have used Travis to draw fire, and once he escaped the encirclement, immediately disappeared without a trace.

As for the explanation from the Special Affairs Bureau?
With the full-scale investigation by the Countermeasures Bureau and the Apostles Society, the addition of the Special Affairs Bureau is neither an added nor a subtractive addition.

Even if they got something for free, the Special Affairs Bureau probably wouldn't hold a grudge against an Apostle.

However, the Special Affairs Bureau's opinion was not a reason for Ai Liang to hesitate.

What truly worried him was whether Yue Yangyan had considered this possibility.

The DX project, which had been planned for more than a decade, could be thwarted by such a simple method.

Travis might also be part of the plan.

Whether he was a reviser of the plan or a victim like the Apostles remains unknown.

With this in mind, Ai Liang gave up the idea of ​​joining the Special Bureau.

"Your current state shouldn't be your true form, right?"

Ai Liang did not directly respond to Travis's invitation, but instead asked about Travis himself.

When Travis blocked the telekinetic attack earlier, his aura disappeared for a moment, but he quickly reappeared.

This feeling is somewhat similar to the idea of ​​a person with a thousand faces possessing various masks.

Although it was only for a brief moment, Ai Liang still managed to keenly capture this point.

Travis didn't hide anything and said frankly, "That's right. Although the Special Affairs Bureau and the Countermeasures Bureau are on the same side in fighting against the Apostles Society, the Special Affairs Bureau only has me as an Apostle right now."

Yue Yangyan would definitely not mind forcibly controlling me and making the cooperation between the two organizations even 'closer,' so I can't risk myself."

"Are you sure you can cover for me with just a clone?"

Ai Liang said calmly.

Travis wasn't stupid; he immediately understood Ai Liang's meaning: "So you're choosing to refuse?"

"It's common to show some of your strength to your business partners when doing business."

Ai Liang raised her hand and sent Yang Xingguo into the mirror space: "Whether I refuse or agree, if you want me to join the Special Affairs Bureau, you have to solve the problem at hand first, right?"

"Since you know about the Hermit, you should know my character. Regardless of whether I join the Special Bureau afterward, I will definitely owe you this favor."

"If the Special Affairs Bureau runs into trouble, I certainly won't stand idly by. Either way, it won't do you any harm."

Travis laughed: "Is that what you mean by trading my help for your friendship?"

“Apostle-level combat power is very rare,” Ai Liang replied.

"Hahaha, no problem."

Travis laughed loudly, "Which side do you want me to help prop up? The Countermeasures Bureau or the Apostles?"

"Both sides together?"

Travis's lips twitched slightly: "Thank you for thinking so highly of me, but I can only help you support one side at most."

Ai Liang was just saying it casually. If Travis is really that powerful enough to hold everyone up by himself, it wouldn't be a bad idea for him to join the Special Affairs Bureau.

"Then let's talk about the Countermeasures Bureau. You've dealt with them for so many years, surely you can manage to delay things a bit, right?"

After a brief moment of thought, Ai Liang made her choice.

The Apostles' side had a large number of members, and that mysterious magician clearly possessed combat power at the level of Heat Death, making him a very troublesome opponent.

The disciple and the magician, both with apostle-level spatial abilities, are neither able to stop Travis from leaving nor defeat him. It would be better to let them cause trouble for the Countermeasures Bureau.

"I am an apostle, after all, not as worthless as you think."

Faced with Ai Liang's drastically different attitude, Travis strongly suspected that the other party was deliberately making fun of him.

However, as long as Ai Liang is willing to accept this favor, it's fine to just have some fun with her.

"Enough with the small talk, what are your plans next?"

Travis's smile faded, and he said seriously, "I know you won't tell me your detailed plans, but I need to know some essential information to cooperate with you."

Ai Liang stripped Ai Liang of control over the necklace and transferred it to her own disposal.

After doing all this, he explained, "There was no plan; everything was improvised."

"So you mean you knew nothing about what happened here before you came?"

Ai Liang nodded.

Travis couldn't help but conjure a hat to cover half his face: "This is really... you wouldn't happen to be one of the test subjects of Project DX, would you?"
In reality, Project DX had already been a great success. The DX818A that Hai Xin Hui escaped was just a smokescreen used by Yue Yangyan to mislead the outside world. You are the original experimental subject of Project DX?

Ignoring Travis's wild imagination, Ai Liang focused her psychic power and took off from the spot.

As the dust settled, Travis gazed in the direction Ai Liang had left, raised his hand to pat the dust off his hat, then pulled it down over his head to cover his eyes.

"It seems that Yue Yangyan's purpose is not what I thought."

"That level of pressure even surpassed that of Fei Bing back then, allowing such an apostle to move freely within the Asian Alliance... Did they have no choice but to reach some kind of deal with the Thousand-Faced Man?"

"Is it because the Thousand-Faced Man has been busy with the bizarre reboot plan in recent years and has been unable to descend in his true form that he dared to involve the Hermit this time?"

Travis stood there, sorting through the intelligence he knew.

"The Apostles... the Hermits... the DX Project test subjects... they're all guys with deep ties to the Thousand-Faced Man. I hope your plan isn't playing with fire and getting burned."
