Welcome to the alien city

Gu Li rotated his wrist slightly, and the well-maintained long sword drew an arc in the air, and suddenly shot out and pierced the window frame.

She stopped talking and looked over with sharp blue eyes: "Who is there!"

There was no sound outside the window, except for the sound of birds flapping their wings as they passed by. Gu Li quietly rolled off the bed, and the silk thread in Lucy's hand slipped out through the gap in the window.

Gu Li stood sideways by the window, stretched out his hand and slowly grasped the hilt of the sword. The sharp sword body glowed with a stunning brilliance in the moonlight.

She raised her hand.

There was finally movement outside the window. The man seemed to realize something was wrong and wanted to leave directly, but found that his body had been wrapped with extremely thin threads at some point.

It's not impossible to break free, but it will definitely alarm others.

The man sighed in frustration, and grabbed the hair on his forehead back with one hand. He tightened his strong arm holding the window edge slightly, and jumped onto the window sill.

A natural smile appeared on his face, and he looked at Gu Li. Those eyes with long eyelashes were particularly cold when not smiling, but when they smiled, they looked at everyone with affection.

Just as he was about to open his mouth, Lucy cautiously stepped forward to block his gaze.

She still remembers this man's flirtatious attitude during the battle, and now she was guarding him against Gu Li as if he were guarding against perverts.

Lucy moved her fingers slightly, and countless transparent threads suddenly appeared and stabbed Henry.

The smile on Henry's face remained unchanged, he spun around and stepped on the window sill to use his strength to jump into the air, ferocious veins appeared on the back of his hand, and the bones of his hand deformed and stretched in an instant, turning into a murderous weapon.

The sharp claws entangled the unwilling silk threads in the air, held them in the palm of his hand, and suddenly pulled Lucy who was controlling the silk threads with force.

He patted Lucy's shoulder in a friendly manner with his other hand: "Don't be so impulsive. I'm here to help you. Maybe we can sit down and have a good talk."

Lucy shook off his hand and controlled countless threads to face Henry again: "From what standpoint do you want to talk to us?"

Henry's smile faded when he heard this, and his expression returned to a cold expression. He looked at Gu Li: "Hey, maybe you should try to believe me. I'm talking to you in a personal capacity now."

"The Red Bee has been able to exist in Grantham for such a long time without being cleared out. Behind it is more than just a faith organization. You can't get into the Red Bee without me!"

Gu Li finally took a step forward and held Lucy's hand. She said thoughtfully to Henry: "Since there are people behind you, there is no need for you to go against them rashly... This is also your first time in this tavern. Know?"

The room was quiet for two seconds.

Henry opened his mouth slightly and let out a breath, straightened his collar a little, leaned on the table, and made an invitation to the stool in front of him.

"Not every family in Grantham is of the same mind as the royal family. It is inconvenient to reveal more, but our purpose is definitely not to baptize everyone into a new race."

Henry's eyes were full of disgust: "This violates the original rules."

Gu Li leaned on the chair, took the hot water from Lucy and took a sip: "Rules?"

Henry's expression was naturally superior: "The rules are voluntary."

"All those who are baptized must volunteer wholeheartedly in order to pass the test. This is why I said you can't get in."

He didn't ask stupid questions about why at least one of them could still be sober after drinking that stuff.

He put forward his conditions simply and neatly: "I can help you pass the test, but the condition is that you take me with you."

Henry looked at Gu Li firmly, as if he was very sure that Gu Li would agree.

"I can take you with me, but I want you to help take a few people out first."

Henry squinted his eyes, and his long eyelashes cast shadows on his face, bringing a bit of softness to the too sharp contours.

He looked carefully for a while, and Gu Li, who had a calm face, couldn't help but fall on those light blue eyes, and he was lost in thought for a moment. The room fell silent. Henry's natural physical advantage made him appear more powerful. The two of them sat opposite each other, making his shadow completely cover Gu Li.

But Gu Li's face was unusually calm, and even his eyes were gradually filled with impatience, without even a trace of wavering as Henry imagined.

He suddenly laughed, breaking the calm and solemn expression on his face.

"From the first time we met, you have always been beyond my imagination, more powerful than I thought, more... fascinating."

Lucy's expression fell instantly. She raised her hand slightly and looked at the man threateningly, and began to regret letting him in.

He really didn't have a good idea from the beginning!

Henry was indifferent to the countless threads piercing his face. He only looked at Gu Li intently and said with a chuckle: "I agreed, and I hope you can cooperate with my actions."

Gu Li straightened up and stretched out his hand: "Deal."

Under Lucy's increasingly sharp eyes, Henry bowed slightly, held the hand, and kissed the back of the pale hand.

"See you tomorrow."

Today is the fourth day since the Eleventh Army lost its commander. The rescue in Lower Sixth District has ended, but the manned safety zone is still in a state of panic.

Since the Eleventh Army lost its leader, those dark figures have been wandering everywhere in the city. They don't cause trouble and don't make any noise, but they are very persistent in looking for people over and over again.

It may not be noticeable to civilians.

But for some people who know the inside story and the extremely private nobles - "This is a slap in our face!"

A middle-aged man stood up and slapped the table, feeling very excited: "That's our family's territory. What do they mean by wandering outside all day long, suspecting that we are hiding people?!"

Others followed suit.

"I understand their anxiety about missing people, but such behavior not only slaps us in the face, but also makes us feel uneasy outside our heads."

"They all have to stop."

"I think it's better to take this opportunity to send people back. After all, if Gu Li really can't come back, the Eleventh Army will also have merit. It's not easy to burn bridges across the river. A new regiment leader is still needed."

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at the speaker in response.

Unexpectedly, he looked into a pair of bottomless black eyes.

The visitor was wearing a simple white shirt and trousers, with his hair loosely scattered. Coupled with the extremely pale skin and black hair, the strong color contrast made him look like a piece of cold jade.

He Shiyi stepped forward, his footsteps falling evenly and slowly on the ground, each step was as precise as a measurement, and finally he came to the only empty seat in front of the table and sat down.

He put his hands together on the table and lowered his eyes slightly, only showing his clear profile profile.

In addition to the nobles who were ranked in the safe area, there were also people from the military department who were brought in to make up the numbers. Maybe the nobles who were content with enjoying themselves did not remember that face.

But someone in the military headquarters silently widened his eyes. After confirming again and again, he urgently sent a message to Ernst.

"Hurry, hurry! The man named He is back!!!"

He Shiyi's voice rang out in the silent space, with a natural dignity and a hint of smile: "Why don't you say anything anymore? Let's continue."

The man's fingers froze, and he suddenly pressed an afterimage on the communication.

"Come and help me! I'm afraid we can't save those old guys!"
