After the archive is damaged, I live in another world

The old man looked calm and even smiled.

This white-haired old man with a blue tattoo on his forehead is none other than the notorious internationally wanted criminal—

The evil Pharos!

However, unlike the brutal image that most people have in mind, Faros has a kind face and is well-dressed.

If it weren't for the strange and hideous blue tattoo on his forehead, others would just think he was an elegant old gentleman.

He casually picked up a piece of fax paper and said, "An hour ago, the 'Lord' sent me intelligence. I already know what you're talking about. But we can't leave yet. The plan... is almost complete."

plan……

The woman in the black dress raised her head and looked at the huge, complex and sophisticated reactor in front of her.

Amidst the rising steam, the substances in the reactor are boiling, and Fallows and his gang are working on developing a potion here.

If successful, this potion will awaken the ancient demon king sleeping in the abandoned demon palace, and then—

Their plans will proceed more smoothly.

The one in the black dress asked, "How many more days will it take?"

Farrow remained calm: "Seven days."

"There are no more seven days, Lord Farros. We are completely exposed. Adventurers and armies from the Free City will continue to arrive. With the personnel we have in the Demon King's Palace, we cannot possibly fight against the entire Free City!"

Black skirt, very anxious.

She took a step forward and the hat on her head fell to the ground.

A pair of pointed ears also broke free and were exposed to the air.

This woman in black dress looks just like a human woman, but she doesn't seem to be human.

She bit her red lip and added, "Stop it, there are adventurers everywhere. It's still not too late to leave now. As you said, there's no need for us to risk our lives for that lord."

"We've been preparing for six months to obtain the 'Demon King's Gene'. We can recreate the same pharmaceutical device, but can we find another 'Palace Where the Demon King Sleeps'? This will not only fulfill the commission of the 'Lord', but I can also benefit from it. Little Skirt, now is not the time to retreat. We only need to buy another seven days, which is not difficult."

Not difficult?

With the enemy troops approaching and a catastrophic disaster imminent, how could it not be difficult?

Farrow shook the fax paper in his hand and said, "The lord also passed us important information. There are two portraits on it. Take a look."

The girl in the black dress took the paper and looked down at it——

There are portraits of two people on the paper, one is Xu Mu and the other is Metian.

"……This is?"

"To open the gate of the Abandoned Demon King's Palace, we need the cooperation of two heroes. The two people on the paper are the only two heroes candidates in the Free City. Capturing them can delay the enemy for at least three days!"

what.

It turned out to be the case.

The woman in the black dress clutched the paper and said, "I will definitely bring these two people back before dawn tomorrow. But... what should I do after three days?"

Farrow's emotions remained stable: "That depends on the methods of our Lord."

……

……

Becoming a hero seems not bad.

But when he thought about fulfilling his responsibility to destroy the Demon King, Xu Mu was not very interested.

As everyone knows, the Demon King is one of the strongest beings on the Blue Planet. The Underworld Fighter profession has no risk in beating weak opponents, but there is still a possibility of death when encountering a real master.

The first hit will bring out your "King Mode";

The second hit will bring out your "battle continuation";

Wait until you are reborn in darkness, get up, and repeat the above two steps, then you will really rest!

After Dark Rebirth is triggered once, it will change to a new skill called "Equivalent Compensation". Xu Mu himself does not know what this equivalent compensation skill is.

Anyway, it is impossible to bring about a rebirth effect.

If it can be resurrected, there is no need for replacement.

therefore.

Xu Mu had no intention of getting involved in the "Extremely Evil Farrows" incident.

What are you doing?

If you want to beat me or kill me, go ahead. I'm just an old man who opened the door. You can't touch me.

After opening the door once yesterday, there was no movement until the evening. At midnight, Xu Mu sat up exhausted. He looked at the Mediterranean, who was snoring loudly and sleeping in a spread-eagle position, and tried hard to resist the urge to hit him.

He walked outside to take a look and found that he, the candidate for the hero, was not very useful.

The camp's defense is tight on the outside but loose on the inside. There are no special guards at the gate, and the nearest sentry post is a hundred meters away with only two soldiers.

A patrolling team of guards approached, and the leader looked at Xu Mu and asked, "Sir, why are you out here so late?"

Xu Mu waved his hand: "I can't sleep, so I came out to get some fresh air."

"Oh—it's your first time in a military camp, you must be feeling a bit uneasy! Do you see that camp next door? There are a few adventuring groups there, and they're leaving for the Demon King's Palace tomorrow. They're having a carnival right now. If you're bored, you can go check it out."

what?

Xu Mu glanced at him and asked, "Can I move around freely?"

The leader smiled and said, "Don't worry! Our defenses are impregnable, and the camp is absolutely safe. You can walk around the camp freely, but don't leave."

Oh……

You're free anyway, why not go and take a look?

The late autumn night was a little chilly. Xu Mu tightened his clothes and walked towards the next camp.

After passing a checkpoint, he ran head-on into—

Ok?

Is this Young Master Xifeng?

Young Master Xifeng stood alone, looking up at the moon. Perhaps noticing something happening beside him, he turned around and met Xu Mu's gaze.

"..."

"..."

The two looked at each other for a moment, and Young Master Xifeng turned away coldly without saying a word.

You said you are...

So cool!

Xu Mu walked forward and said with a smile, "Master Xifeng, why are you here?"

Xifeng frowned, but didn't look at Xu Mu: "Mr. Xu! I have warned you many times - don't come close! You shouldn't know me in your current position. You must learn to be cautious!"

"...I don't think that's necessary. There's no outsider here."

"How do you know no one's spying? If they see us talking, they'll definitely become suspicious. Once they start investigating, they'll quickly guess you're the Blue Bandit! We can't let our guard down!"

"It's no big deal if others know I'm the Blue Bandit."

"Ha! Mr. Xu, is this your trick? You're deliberately acting nonchalant, trying to test my vigilance and ability to keep secrets? You won't succeed. You'll soon find out that I'm the most alert and steady person in the world!"

Ugh.

It's really hard to communicate.

Did this Young Master Xifeng suffer any trauma in his childhood?

How can his personality be so twisted?

Xu Mu shook his head, took out a cloak from his backpack and covered himself with it, saying, "So, does this explain it? When I wear this cloak, no one will know who I am."

"Oh?"

Master Xifeng raised his eyebrows: "It's quite interesting."

Chapter 64 #064 This is not what I want to see...

"cheers!"

"Oh--"

Tons tons tons.

In the camp where the adventure group is stationed, a group of adventurers are toasting and cheering, celebrating wildly.

"Brothers! Tomorrow morning we will enter the damned Demon King's Palace! Cherish this moment! Now is our last indulgence!"

"Wooooooooooooooooo! Drink!"

They are very excited.

Xu Mu, beneath his cloak, stared in confusion. Master Xifeng explained, "Tomorrow, Sword Saint Nanasha, Archmage Violet, and the 'Sage' from the trio's tea party will lead a team to investigate the Abandoned Demon King's Palace. According to the intelligence I've received, in addition to the three Legends, there will also be 500 soldiers and 108 adventurers joining them. This is a formidable lineup; we haven't seen such a large-scale presence in our Central Region in over a decade."

"Oh..."

Xu Mu didn't quite understand. He looked at the adventurers drinking heavily in front of him and said, "We're leaving tomorrow morning, and you're already drunk like this... is that okay?"

Xifeng showed disdain. "They are just adventurers after all. You can't expect them to be well-mannered. The main force of the team is the 500 city defenders and the three legends. Including me, everyone else is just incidental."

"Are you going too?"

"Of course, I won't miss such an occasion."

"..."

Xu Mu looked at Xifeng a few more times and felt that this young master attached great importance to the "successor".

Xifeng continued, "Dong Sida, do you remember Young Master Dong? He'll be going too. This is a rare opportunity to gain experience, and with three legends escorting him, the risks of this operation won't be too great."

"Ha... maybe not necessarily."

Xu Mu said it casually, but Xifeng was very concerned.

He turned his head like lightning, looked at Xu Mu and said, "Mr. Xu, do you know any inside information?"

"what?"

Xifeng clapped his hands and continued, "That makes sense! Someone as powerful as you should have secret intelligence channels! Why did the evil Farrows appear near the Free City? Do you know the inside story?"

"..."

It does not make sense?

You are...

You're thinking too much!

Xu Mu quickly denied the allegation, "You think too highly of me. I don't have any intelligence channels, and I don't know the inside story. I just think things might change, and everything might not go so smoothly."

"Hmm. Regardless, your thorough and thoughtful attitude is something I can learn from."

"..."

Ugh.

Can't keep talking.

Who is being thorough and meticulous? Don't just speak without thinking.

Xu Mu looked at the lively adventurer gathering not far away and didn't want to join in for a moment. He took two steps back and said, "It's not very interesting. I'd better go back to sleep."

"I don't like meaningless parties either."

The two returned the same way. On the way, Master Xifeng asked, "Mr. Xu, will you participate in this operation?"

Xu Mu waved his hands repeatedly: "I am only responsible for opening the door. The action is not my responsibility, and I don't have the ability to do it."

Again.

Again.
