As soon as the Human Emperor Banner came out, I became the Lord of the Old Ones

Chapter 27: Gambling Again
Under the surveillance of two guards, Xu Yan walked dazedly in the winding mine tunnel.

Above the head is a rock layer 103.45 meters thick.

Billions of tons of rock stood between him and freedom.

The seven lifts leading to the ground and the emergency passages were completely blocked.

Neither humans, rats, nor distress signals could escape.

A temporarily repaired ore conveyor belt is the only way to the outside world.

But it was locked by triple gates.

The gate's controls are in the hands of Dr. Hyde.

Dr. Hyde is guarded by twenty Black Dream elites. All of them are stimulated by the "new world" and become mad dogs who are not afraid of death.

Xu Yan suddenly stopped.

The mine tunnel forks ahead.

The directions are different, but they all lead to the winding darkness.

Go left, obey Snake Princess's orders, destroy the energy center, and then be killed by the furious Dr. Hyde.

Go right, obey the orders of the Snake Queen, get her protection, and hold on until her men arrive and take control of the situation.

From then on, he became a glorious "snake slave", following the Snake Queen to do evil and flee to the ends of the earth.

Go up, reveal Snake Princess's plot to Dr. Hyde, and then what?
Knowing that Snake Queen is the imperial envoy and her direct team is about to arrive, does Dr. Hyde really have the courage to attack Snake Queen?
His subordinates are all in the same mind as him, so would they dare to completely betray the Black Dream Organization?
The most important thing is that Dr. Hyde and his men combined may not be a match for Snake Princess.

This female devil is the holder of a gold card and an expert-level spirit controller. She is only half a step away from becoming the legendary "Master Spirit Controller"!

Dr. Hyde is just crazy, not stupid. He will not seek death when he is sure to lose.

The key is time.

Xu Yan didn't have time to plan any perfect plan.

You can only gamble.

Just like at the gate of the Wanhun Sect, move forward bravely, make no regrets, and gamble your life and soul!
"what happened to you?"

The two guards keenly noticed his abnormality.

They held down their weapons with one hand and reached out with the other to check on him.

Xu Yan groaned, knelt on one knee, and vomited blood.

"It hurts, my head hurts!"

His face instantly turned pale as paper, and he said in a weak voice, "I want to see Dr. Hyde right away!"

……

The bottom floor of the abandoned mine.

It has become a hot furnace.

Except for the mechanics who were urgently repairing the Ancient Gate, everyone was replenishing ammunition, taking potions, and organizing their equipment.

Various heavy weapons with ferocious shapes release murderous aura like ferocious beasts.

In terms of both numbers and firepower, they are clearly a level higher than the Blood Thorn Squad.

It was as if what they were about to engage in was neither an investigation nor a hunt, but a real war.

Dr. Hyde's face was full of suspicion. He looked at Xu Yan, who was half lying on the ground and convulsing, and then at the psychic next to him who was bleeding from all seven orifices.

This is the last psychic under his command.

Just tried to hypnotize the gravedigger and peer into his brain.

As a result, he nearly burned his head off.

"The gravedigger's mind is very confused and...horrible."

After taking 300 units of tranquilizers and being comforted by the "Ghost Jellyfish", the psychic was able to regain his composure.

He said in a hoarse voice, "I can't see anything, only an endless ocean of blood!"

After panting for another half minute, he leaned over to Dr. Hyde's ear.

"It's probably the aftereffects of an overdose of incendiary drugs. If you have any questions, please ask as soon as possible. He won't live much longer."

The doctor nodded and personally helped Xu Yan up.

"Don't worry, Gravedigger. This is just a hangover from the old days. You'll recover soon."

His face was filled with a warm smile. "Lady Snake Princess called you over just now. What did she say?"

"I, I'm not a gravedigger."

Xu Yan held his head in his hands, the veins on his temples twitching and throbbing rapidly, "Who am I? Who am I?" "Hmm?"

Dr. Hyde's smile froze.

He gestured to his men to continue injecting Xu Yan with large doses of sedatives, and let the "Ghost Jellyfish" soothe Xu Yan's restless soul.

Xu Yan gradually calmed down.

His eyes became more confused.

Like a child lost in a fragmented nightmare.

"Snake Princess said I'm not a gravedigger. She said I've been brainwashed and that everyone here is a bad person..."

Xu Yan muttered to himself, and the next second, he became excited again, "No, I am a gravedigger, I am a fearless warrior of the Black Dream Organization, I want to prevent the apocalypse from coming!"

The frozen smile cracked into pieces, and Dr. Hyde's blood-red chips were "clicking" in surprise and confusion.

"Of course you are a gravedigger, the best warrior under my command."

Dr. Hyde held Xu Yan's burning head, his eyes became deeper and his voice became gentler. "Maybe you heard it wrong. What exactly does Snake Queen want you to do?"

"She... wants me to destroy the energy center."

"why?"

"To buy time, until noon, a large group of people will arrive and we can be saved."

"Interesting, where did this large group of people come from?"

"Dawn City Security Bureau."

There was silence.

The bottom of the mine, which was as hot as a steel furnace in the last second, turned into a cold morgue because of Xu Yan's six words.

All the gangsters stopped and looked at Xu Yan with eyes filled with the panic of a lost dog and the madness of a desperate dog.

"She, she gave me a map..."

Xu Yan betrayed Snake Queen without even blinking.

Dr. Hyde stared at the map for half a minute, then laughed.

At first it was just a silent grin.

Soon it turned into a "hissing" sound like a pipe leaking air.

In the end, he also convulsed uncontrollably like Xu Yan, and let out a wild laugh of relief.

He laughed so hard that his wig fell off again, revealing the high-speed running gears inside his transparent skull.

"I see, that's right, that makes perfect sense!"

Under Dr. Hyde's blood-red chip, tear-like red oil overflowed and flowed to the torn corners of his mouth.

"Why would the special executive officer from headquarters come to Dawn City alone?

“Why would she, for no apparent reason, train a rookie who could collapse at any moment for a full 72 hours?

"Why would she casually bestow the Dream Shattering Sabre, a symbol of the organization's supreme glory, upon a D-rank member?
"Why does she strongly oppose us opening the Old Door again, and instead wants to bring the 'key' to the surface?

“There is only one answer.

"She is not the real Lady Snake at all, but an undercover agent of the Security Bureau!"

Dr. Hyde is like a detective who discovers the truth.

The morgue was once again turned into a crematorium.

The atmosphere was a hundred times hotter than before.

People are always willing to believe what they want to believe.

Compared to "offending the special executive officer of the headquarters who is far more powerful than oneself, even if successful, he may be regarded as a traitor by the supreme leader and hunted down by the entire Black Dream Organization."

If this woman was not the "Snake Queen" but an undercover agent of the Security Bureau, things would be much simpler.

Many wanted criminals are ready to fight and are arrogant.

"Doc, I'm going to kill her!"

A thug with scars covering half his face grinned, "I still have several unsettled accounts with the Security Bureau!"

"Don't worry. How dare you impersonate Lady Snake and sneak into our midst alone? I don't remember Dawn City Security Bureau having such an outstanding talent. It seems they must have invited a master from somewhere else."

Dr. Hyde sneered, "This concerns the 'New World'. I don't want any mistakes to happen. Let's prepare a feast to welcome our new friends from the Security Bureau!"
