Armor Guardians.

Are you unwilling to go against your conscience?

Xia Qianmeng looked at the floor in front of her and couldn't help but laugh at herself, then quickly made a decision: "Tell me the address, I'll go there right now."

"Alright, it's located at the site of the Blue Heart Hotel. I've already had someone investigate beforehand and there are no ambushes. You can go there without worry. I'll be there too."

"Okay, I'll head over now."

"Ah."

After ending the call, Xia Qianmeng looked at her younger sister again, her gaze turning away: "I have something to do now. Are you sure you want to keep following me? Sometimes I might not be able to protect you."

"You don't need to protect me; on the contrary, I will protect you."

Looking into Xia Qianmeng's eyes, Xia Qianxue's tone was very firm. At the same time, she also wanted to see for herself what Xia Qianmeng's life was like now.

Time was of the essence, so Xia Qianmeng didn't try to persuade her anymore. Once outside, she summoned the Candlelight Armor and set off.

There was no other way; Xia Qianmeng couldn't drive, so this was the only way she could get around, and it was also fast.

Seeing this, Xia Qianxue quickly summoned her Vermilion Bird Armor and gave chase.

A few minutes later, Xia Qianmeng and Xia Qianxue arrived together above the Blue Heart Hotel that Gao Fei had mentioned.

This place was originally an incredibly luxurious hotel, but unfortunately, the last space explosion was so powerful that all the glass and some important facilities were destroyed, and even the electrical circuits were broken in many places. Therefore, it must be carefully inspected before it can be put back into use.

Unfortunately, most places on Earth are currently in ruins, and hotels, even if they need repair, will have to wait their turn. Otherwise, even if they are repaired, guests will have to pay to check in. So, over time, this place has become a ruin...

The broken circuit left the hotel room very dark, eliminating the possibility of being monitored.

Hall 201—this was the address Gao Fei had sent to Xia Qianmeng via message. Those people were already waiting for them inside.

This was Xia Qianmeng's first time meeting someone of this caliber, so it was impossible for her not to be nervous. However, Xia Qianmeng also knew that she was representing the Black Group in the negotiations, so she had to remain calm.

If all else fails... then we'll just have to let another version of ourselves hold things together; that version of ourselves shouldn't be afraid of these kinds of situations.

As they walked, Xia Qianmeng and Xia Qianxue soon arrived at the entrance of Hall 201. At that moment, several men in suits and sunglasses were standing outside the door, who seemed to be handsome bodyguards.

Upon seeing Xia Qianmeng and Xia Qianxue arrive, having already done their homework, they not only didn't stop them, but also helped Xia Qianmeng and Xia Qianxue open the door so that the two could go in directly.

Compared to Xia Qianmeng, Xia Qianxue had been in the Gold Group for a longer time, so she was already used to these occasions and had a better mindset than Xia Qianmeng. However, she was just as curious as Xia Qianmeng about who she would meet later and whether there would be any acquaintances.
Upon entering the hall, although the lighting was dim, Xia Qianmeng could still recognize the people inside at a glance; there were more people than she had expected this time.

There were now ten people sitting at the round table waiting: four old men, four bodyguards in disguise, and the last two... one was Cang Lin, the summoner of the Azure Dragon Armor, and the other was Nangong Qingyun, the summoner of the Black Tortoise Armor; they had met recently.

After glancing at it briefly, Xia Qianmeng pretended to be very calm and continued forward. This time, Xia Qianxue became Xia Qianmeng's little follower.

Pulling out a chair and sitting down, Xia Qianmeng, unskilled in official rhetoric, decided to get straight to the point: "I've already heard Gao Fei's explanation of your purpose. If the Black Group is willing to cooperate with you, how do you plan to deal with Wan Qiliu?" "Naturally, we'll obtain evidence of his abuse of power, and then the state will handle it. You won't be disappointed by the outcome."

Looking up at the old man opposite her, Xia Qianmeng didn't know whether to mock his faith or choose to respect him. After so many things had happened, Wan Qiliu was still unharmed, which already showed that Wan Qiliu had a lot of backers. If he had just accidentally gone in, he would have been out soon, and he would probably have become even more insane.

Xia Qianmeng felt that she had been quite crazy before, but compared to Wan Qiliu's kind of madness, Xia Qianmeng felt that she was still far behind.

"what about you?"

Xia Qianmeng turned to look at the others, wanting to hear if they had any different opinions.

In the end, Cang Lin only raised one question.

“A head-on confrontation is impossible. I know the people in the Dragon Group. Most of them joined with the intention of protecting their country and eliminating the alien beasts. So they were just being used temporarily. If we go head-to-head, there will be too many innocent casualties.”

Nangong Qingyun nodded, echoing Cang Lin's words: "The ones who are happiest when we fight among ourselves are those mutant beasts, so if we can, we should not kill those members of the Gold Group. They are a valuable fighting force for the country in dealing with mutant beasts and foreign invaders."

If it were me in the past, I probably would have thought the same way...

Listening to their remarks, Xia Qianmeng nodded, but she was no longer the same person she used to be: "Since you have chosen to cooperate with the Black Group, you should understand what kind of organization the Black Group is, and you should understand what kind of person I am."

"so."

As she spoke, Xia Qianmeng's calm eyes suddenly flashed with a fierce light: "I'm not afraid of getting my hands dirty. The simplest solution is for you to find an opportunity to lure Wan Qiliu out, and I'll go and kill him."

"……sister."

Seeing Xia Qianmeng like this, Xia Qianxue felt very sorry for her, because she knew that Xia Qianmeng was just putting on a brave face.

The ten people remained silent for a while before Cang Lin broke the silence: "The main reason we came here and found you is to talk to you about your situation."

"my business?"

"That time on Mount Kyushu... your consciousness was out of control, right?"

"so what?"

Xia Qianmeng thought Cang Lin was going to come and reprimand her again, but she didn't want to accept the reprimand and didn't regret it, because she knew that she would probably encounter similar things many more times in the future on the path she was going to take.

Moreover, that road... is currently the only way for Blue Star to deal with the second all-out attack of the alien beasts. Otherwise, if the alien beast army comes here again a year later, ordinary humans will not be able to escape either.

But to everyone's surprise, Cang Lin didn't continue to admonish Xia Qianmeng. Instead, he posed a question: "Do you still want to live an upright life like before?"

I was sick before X﹏X
