Collapse Iron: I am the Pleasure Commander, starting with the Demolition Company

not long ago,

Ohma,

Inside an ordinary residence,

Xia slowly pushed open the door and walked in.

Although I don't understand why Kenneth suddenly switched sides, it doesn't matter anymore.

His main reason for agreeing to cooperate with Kenneth was to study the Titan's body.

With Kenneth's cover, he could conduct his research openly and legitimately.

Without Kenneth, it would simply mean being more cautious and conducting research in secret.

No one could stop him from pursuing the truth.

Kenneth is no good.

Aglaia won't work either.

Last night, he secretly slipped away to the body of the god Kephale and collected some materials.

Since merging with the fire of Sersis, he has had some conjectures about the relationship between the Golden Blood and the Titans, as well as the nature of re-creation.

So he plans to conduct some preliminary experiments to verify it.

However, he stopped after taking only two steps inside.

His head slowly turned, his gaze landing precisely on a mask on the bedside table.

He has a very good memory.

So he was certain that the mask was not on the bedside table when he left.

In other words, someone somehow put the mask in after he left.

After staring at the mask for a while, Xia did not immediately approach it. Instead, she cautiously retreated to the door and scanned the entire room with her sharp eyes.

"There were no signs of tampering with the door handle."

"There is no indication that the alchemical formation has been triggered."

"Nothing in the room had been moved except for a mask."

"It's as if someone put the mask in out of thin air."

In that moment, Xia only remembered Tibao, Xiyao, and others who possessed this ability.

Without a doubt, the Hundred Realms Sect can do this.

But they clearly had no reason to do so.

Xi Yao and he had only met once and were not familiar with each other, so there was no reason for Xi Yao to do such a thing.

If Aglaia needs to contact him, she can simply ask him to come over.

Even if there's something particularly secretive, they wouldn't just send a mask; they'd send a letter instead.

The senators in the Senate were a bunch of good-for-nothings; they obviously couldn't possibly have that kind of ability.

For a moment, he really didn't expect who had sent the mask.

At that moment, a smile appeared on Xia's lips, and a strong interest gleamed in her single, scarlet eye.

"interesting!"

"Cersei, this isn't some little gadget you made out of boredom to amuse me, is it?"

He glanced at the golden phantom beside him and casually made a sarcastic remark.

Serhis shook his head slightly.

"I would never do something so meaningless."

"Compared to this mask, don't you think you should be concerned about something else?"

"You don't have much time left to live."

"Do you really not care whether you live or die?"

"Everyone dies, so what's the big deal?"

Xia's tone was very calm at that moment, as if she didn't care about her own life at all.

Instead of contemplating life and death, we should think about how to make the most of this life and explore the truth.

He slowly walked to the bedside, looked at the exquisite cat mask on the bedside table, thought for a while, put on gloves, and took out a pair of tweezers.

He did not reach out to touch it directly.

The first principle of alchemy.

Never touch the unknown with your hands.

Because you never know whether your hand, or even your life, will still be intact after you touch it.

These are all lessons learned from the blood and tears of countless predecessors.

Those who frequently practice alchemy know this.

Alchemy is a field that not just anyone can enter.

The alchemy stage is here; if you're tough, come join us!

Not a strong person...

Actually, he didn't die.

It's just that we don't know when we'll be blown to pieces.

Laugh to death!

A mere fatal wound.

At that moment, Xia used tweezers to hold the mask as she entered the laboratory.

In his eyes, it was more than just a mask.

It was a challenge.

Someone is challenging his authority as a scholar and alchemist.

At that moment, Xia put on her protective suit and used various sophisticated instruments to analyze the mask, arriving at a conclusion.

From any perspective, it's just an ordinary mask.

"I didn't expect there to be things you couldn't handle?"

Serhith's tone carried a hint of mockery.

However, Xia was not angry at that moment. Instead, she laughed even more happily, and the light in her eyes became even more intense.

"Even I can't figure it out, doesn't that just prove its great research value?"

"The tougher the project, the greater the sense of accomplishment upon completion!"

If he was only slightly interested before, he is now truly and thoroughly interested in this mask.

He wanted to see what the person who sent the mask was up to.

He picked up the samples he had collected from the body of the god Kephale and put them into the storage box.

Then I began to focus on studying the mask.

He picked up a pair of scissors, intending to cut off a small section to examine the material of the mask.

however……

After he cut off a tiny piece,

The entire mask, along with the fragment, instantly vaporized, turning into a stream of orange-red gas that surged towards Xia Ke and enveloped him in the blink of an eye.

Yes,

Xi Yao had already guessed that Xia wouldn't touch the mask at that moment.

So she kept a backup plan.

She guessed that Xia would definitely be interested in the mask and study it.

Even if the mask cracks, even just a little bit...

The entire mask will shatter, and the mysterious power within will automatically find its way into the body of the nearest person who possesses the power of the Black Tide.

That was naturally that summer.

At this point, some of you might be wondering,

Xi Yao Xi Yao,

What if Xia hadn't removed the mask at that moment?

So your plan fell through?

First of all, he couldn't possibly not dismantle it.

Secondly, even if she really doesn't dismantle it,

The mask will automatically disintegrate after a certain period of time...

Then, the mysterious power will automatically find its way into Xia's body.

Some of you might be wondering,

Xi Yao Xi Yao,

What if Xia had used tweezers to throw away the mask immediately at that moment?

No, no!

He won't get lost!

The moment the mask leaves the room, it will automatically disintegrate and then automatically find its way...

The rest of the process is the same.

Therefore, no matter what he does, the final result will be the same.

Although an unexpected situation arose, Xia was not worried at that moment.

The protective suit he was wearing was no ordinary item.

That was a specially made protective suit for him!

After countless upgrades and renovations!

Almost all harmful substances can be kept out.

This is the only one of its kind in the entire Divine Enlightenment Tree Garden.

I wonder how many scholars are envious.

After all, having such a powerful protective suit greatly improves the safety of the experiment.

Life safety can be guaranteed to the greatest extent.

however……

Xia miscalculated at that moment.

Mysterious power is not a harmful substance.

Even if it is,

Its level is too high.

Even a scepter cannot withstand its corrosive influence, let alone something like a protective suit.

His protective suit, which he was so proud of, proved to be completely ineffective.

The orange gas passed through the protective suit with effortless ease, seeping into Xia's body through every pore.

Xia frowned slightly at that moment.

This situation was truly unexpected for him.

However, he did not show any signs of panic.

The deed is already done; panicking at this point will only make things worse.

At that moment, Xia closed her eyes and calmly sensed the changes in her body.

That way, even if any problems arise, he can respond immediately.

However, the next second, Xia's scarlet single eye suddenly opened.

"This...this is!"

...

P.S.: Zao Shanghao! What about you?

The first day my friend left, I miss her...

That is impossible!

The young author was so comfortable all by himself!

Eat whatever you want!

If you want to pet Xiu Cat, then pet Xiu Cat!

And you don't even have to spend your own money; just use your friend's cat food to give your cat extra treats!

perfect!

Should I tell my friend to come back later?

Ah!

That's it!

Love you all~
