32. Trouble in the Demon Realm

"Xiao Huan should have returned to Tianyu City, right?"

In the living room of the Demon Domain Guesthouse, Xiao Ya, who was casually sitting on the sofa and enjoying her delicious afternoon tea as usual, spoke so while slowly shaking the teacup in her hand. Upon hearing this, Sang and Hei Yu, who were grabbing snacks on the table and stuffing them into their mouths, looked like two cute little hamsters, raised their heads at the same time and looked at Xiao Ya with surprise in their eyes.

"Any news?"

A flash of light appeared, and even Qi Xiao, who was originally residing in the Soul Gem, floated out slowly. He asked with anticipation on his face, to which Xiao Ya nodded:

"No, the barrier seems to have been restored. Now we can't contact Zeya!"

Xiao Ya shook her head slightly, looking at the three people in front of her with expressions that asked, "How did you know that Xiao Huan (Sister) had returned?" She smiled and said,

"Has any of you seen Yaoyao since yesterday?"

Long Yao was once trained by Yu in the mirror world of Tianta City as a 'weapon' specifically for dealing with Baiyin. However, due to Yu Huan's intrusion, he was awakened by Yu Huan's magic by chance. When he gained consciousness, he regarded Yu Huan as his 'mother' and signed a Ranger Contract with him.

Because Long Yao is not only a ranger but also Yu Huan's 'contracted beast', she has the ability to freely enter and exit the mirror world and thereby freely enter and exit reality and the card box in Yu Huan's hand.

It was just that Yu Huan was previously in the past a thousand years, and Long Yao didn't yet possess the ability to travel through time and space, so he couldn't follow her. That's why he had been traveling with Xiao Ya and the others. But just yesterday, Xiao Ya suddenly felt that Long Yao had disappeared?!

In this situation, there are only two possible situations. The first is that Long Yao was killed... This is almost impossible. Not to mention that the contract between Long Yao and Yu Huan makes her almost immortal, just the fact that Long Yao herself is both a living being and a contracted beast, and she can freely enter and exit the mirror world. Even Yu Huan directly said that there is no 100% certainty that I can kill the other party, let alone others. It is even more impossible.

If this is not the reason, another possibility is obvious: Yu Huan has returned to this era, and Long Yao has naturally returned to his master's card box!

Such news immediately made Qi Xiao and others overjoyed. After learning that Xiao Huan had returned, they almost immediately wanted to fly back to Tianyu City to meet Xiao Huan. However, it was obvious that reality... did not allow it!

"So what is going on here..."

After being excited for a while at first, Qi Xiao showed a bitter smile on his face... He originally came to the Demon Realm to find Xiao Huan, but who would have thought that Xiao Huan was not in the current Demon Realm at all, but in the Demon Realm a thousand years ago.

After going through many troubles, they broke through the mysterious defense of the Demon Realm. Originally, after sneaking in and figuring out everything, everyone already knew the truth, so it would be better to just leave and go back to Tianyu City directly. Maybe they have seen Xiaohuan by now.

However, due to various reasons, they are now apparently discovered and living in this guesthouse.

Of course, breaking out is also a good idea, but although they are living here now, it is not actually house arrest or anything like that. Instead, it is a place for them to be entertained... It seems that a certain tower master of the Mage Tower wants to invite them for help with something.

If it was an ordinary matter, perhaps those who were eager to go home would not agree at all. The most important thing was to go back to find Xiao Huan without saying anything. However, the person they sought help from was not an ordinary person, but... a guardian?

The master of the Witch Tower in the Demon Realm, who called herself Ye Linna, visited them directly on the first day they were discovered and openly revealed her identity as a guardian.

The contract was impossible to forge, and this immediately attracted everyone's attention. At the same time, Ye Lina silently observed several people for a while, and finally said one sentence without any beating around the bush:

"I'm Xiao Huan's contractor and teacher. Of course, that was a thousand years ago. Now I need help from some trusted people. For the sake of our friendship, I hope you won't refuse. Otherwise, I can't guarantee that I won't tell Xiao Huan about your inaction in allowing your companion to die!"

The smiling words and gentle tone, but the threatening smile in it made everyone, including Xiao Ya, feel very uncomfortable, especially after Ye Lina smiled and said: Okay, I was just kidding, which made Xiao Ya and others' faces suddenly filled with countless black lines.

However, as companions, even though they had only just met, they obviously couldn't stand idly by when faced with difficulties. Therefore, Xiao Ya and the others could only stay here temporarily, accepting Ye Lina's request for help, and by the way...

"If you don't mind, let's talk about... my student!"

Ye Lina really wanted to know what happened to Yu Huan a thousand years later, and Xiao Ya and others also wanted to know what happened to Yu Huan a thousand years ago (mainly how many concubines he had). So the two sides hit it off and the friendship between the girls was established so simply.

Of course, it is worth mentioning that after that, Xiao Ya and others met Jiuyue and Huanbing, mother and daughter, who were the other two guardians. Of course, they were not part of the harem, but to be honest, after meeting the only two elder characters among the contractors, Xiao Ya and others suddenly felt like they had met their parents for some reason.

Especially under the blessing of Jiuyue and Huanbing's full of elder attributes, even the usually flamboyant Xiao Ya silently restrained her personality and started calling Jiuyue Auntie and Huanbing Grandma.

In addition to the three of them, there seemed to be two more contractors. According to Ye Lina, they seemed to be Xiao Huan's real "harem" a thousand years ago. However, due to some reasons, one of them is still semi-sealed, and the other is stationed there to accompany her and has never returned.

Although the details of this were unclear, Xiao Ya and the others had participated in the war against the Silver Clan a thousand years ago, so they understood. After everyone had introduced themselves to each other and gotten to know each other, Ye Lina finally stated what she wanted to ask for help:

"On the northwest edge of the Demon Realm, a ruin suddenly appeared, emerging from the ground like a castle. Because the Demon Realm is currently experiencing some... civil unrest, Jiuyue and Sister Huanbing need to be stationed at the Star Tower. However, we can't just ignore the ruins. So, if possible, regarding these ruins... I hope you can go there with me!"

33. Actions of all parties

"Gurgle~Gurgle~Gurgle~Gurgle~"

Amidst the sound of bubbles constantly emitted like boiling water, this place is a space rendered in silver-white. A silver-white substance like liquid and mercury is constantly flowing in it. From time to time, lines of substance like figure slowly surge out from the boiling silver-white liquid.

That figure…sometimes took the form of a human, sometimes of some unknown beast, sometimes of flowers and plants, even the outline of a city, or even of facial features…after constantly changing through various forms, it finally became a mouth. At this moment, a voice full of illusion emanated from the liquid:

"I... have been eliminated again!"

"The fourteenth..."

'The threat is high, but don't worry!'

"Hmm, there are so many clones!"

'I feel a familiar atmosphere!'

"Really? She's...back!"

"Then let's get started..."

"It has lasted for a thousand years..."

'decisive battle!'

"But before that..."

"Ruins... discovered... energy!"

'Devour it, gain control, and increase your strength!'

"Attack Tianyu City... and destroy her forces!"

'Attack Tianta City and add more energy!'

'Attack the Scavengers' Alliance to increase their manpower!'

'Attack the Demon Realm and devour her to replenish herself!'

"The source has recovered a little, it's time to prepare!"

'Agreed, time to get ready!'

'Second!'

'Second!'

'Second!'

'This is our... ultimate and only goal from beginning to end!'

"Pray!"

'dream!'

'pray!'

"Everything, for..."

"...Save the world!"

There were sounds coming one after another, including those of the elderly, children, men, women, adults, or noises that were completely different from human voices.

Voices kept coming one after another, as if countless consciousnesses were having a conversation, but soon they all spoke the final words as if unified. After that, the silver-white liquid seemed to finally calm down gradually. The next moment, countless silver-white liquids began to roll and tumble as usual, but in the constant surge, a vaguely visible corner of the building was inadvertently revealed under the huge liquid group.

It looks like some...metal ruins!

……

"This guy is getting more and more cunning!"

The silver liquid disappeared in his hand and was absorbed by Yu in an instant. Feeling the strength in his body being replenished again, Yu was not happy at all. Instead, he frowned slightly and said so.

"Do you need to continue?"

Behind him, Ling asked a question, while Bing Ling stood quietly behind Yu from beginning to end, waiting for her order. After thinking for a while, Yu suddenly felt something and shook her head slowly:

"Well~~ Never mind, there's no need!"

Having said this, Yu turned around with a smile and looked at Bing Ling behind him and said with a smile:

"Your real owner has returned, but seems to be in some trouble. How about we prepare... and go rescue him?"

He said this, but he didn't pay attention to the slightly frowned brows of Ling.

Of course, she knew very well who the real owner of the Ice Spirit that Yu mentioned was. That was the holder of another system, an existence that was mutually reinforcing and counteracting with Yu. She judged that once the level grew up, it would be the biggest threat to Yu, so she eliminated it.

Although he did not regret his actions at that time, what Enzyme could foresee was that the other party actually survived. Although it seemed that he had drifted to another world and various things had happened, it was obviously only a matter of time before he came back.

And now, this situation has finally arrived... Although she does not regret what she did in the past, but if she asks Ling whether he will kill Yuhuan again, to be honest... she can't bring herself to do it!

It wasn't because she couldn't bear it or because she was threatened by Yu, it was simply because she knew the other person's identity: Yu's sister (brother)!

Just based on this one thing, Ling was able to understand why Yu looked like that after learning that Yu Huan was in trouble. If he hadn't known that Yu Huan was not dead, Ling could almost say without a doubt that Yu at that time was acting with the mentality of destroying the world.

Ling had completely given up the idea of ​​killing Yu Huan. Not only that, if Yu Huan ran into trouble, she could even provide him with necessary protection. After all, she was Yu's sister, and this alone was enough to warrant her help. Of course, another more important reason was...

The child named Yuhuan holds the switch to destroy the world, a destructive switch of Zhao Yuyuan's called "With my sister gone, this world has no need to exist"!

Of course, although she thought so in her heart, she did not think so in reality. All the conflicts and grudges with Yu Huan would be written off. After all, she was the "enemy" who almost killed the other party. Yu Huan would have to take revenge on her sooner or later. Especially on this point, Yu Huan had already given his clear answer: If I settle this account in advance, my sister will be angry!

In fact, Zero had already made preparations. Seeing Yu's provocative gaze, Zero said without thinking:

"Revenge... I'm waiting, and I won't lose!"

Although she no longer has any hostility towards Yu Huan, it does not mean that she will allow him to take revenge without fighting back. In fact, even when facing Yu Huan, she will still try her best to deal with him. Although she will not take his life, she will not let him kill her... After all, she still has her own things to do!

Well, let's not talk about Ling for now. When Bing Ling heard Yu's sudden words, she saw that her originally calm face was still as cold as ice, but at this moment she suddenly raised her head and said:

"I will follow the master's orders!"

He was still as loyal to Yu as ever, but if one looked closely, one could easily find a glimpse of barely perceptible worry in those calm eyes.

Although in Bing Ling's heart, Yu was still her master, but when Yu just said "your other master", she did not show any objection, but accepted it as a matter of course.

This can perhaps be considered a good phenomenon?

"Then where are we going now?"

Ling spoke again, but this time Yu answered without even thinking:

"Bing Ling and I will go to Tianta City to get a better understanding of the situation. You go back to the Mirror Organization to gather some manpower... Don't worry, I'm not asking you to come with us to rescue your sister. If I'm not mistaken, there should be a ruin near our 'headquarters' soon. Take some people there and occupy it. There's no harm in that!"

"it is good!"

34. New Organism

(Strictly speaking, this is just the beginning of this volume... Sorry, I always write more content accidentally)

"Exoskeleton assembly complete..."

Ugh?

"Biological muscle stretchability confirmed... no abnormalities!"

Ugh?

"Artificial skin coverage complete, virtuality level: 90%!"

that……

"Consciousness chip generated, energy injected... ready for activation!"

So what is this...

She opened her eyes in confusion, and saw a cold blue liquid... She seemed to be completely immersed in it, which made her subconsciously want to hug her body tightly to cover some shy parts. However, when she moved, she found that her whole body was connected by countless densely packed objects with thousands of various lines and pipes.

'Energy Infusion!'

"Woo~~"

Then, before she could figure out what was going on, a sudden sound accompanied by an inexplicable force was transmitted into her body from the direction of her spine at back. Almost at that instant, she felt a slight tremor throughout her body, as if the confusion she had just felt when she opened her eyes was swept away in an instant. Both her physical strength and the thoughts in her head seemed to be much clearer at this moment.

"Energy injection completed, confirm activation..."

"Gurgle~Gurgle~Gurgle~Gurgle~"

The water flowed as if passing through her body and was absorbed towards her feet. At the same time, as the blue liquid gradually decreased, she finally realized her current situation: she was inside a huge cylindrical glass cover, her body was connected by countless wires and hung on it, and through the transparent glass she could see the building outside that looked like a military factory, full of silver-white metal materials.

A completely futuristic style, without any color other than metallic...

Where is this place? Why am I here? Who am I?

Well, this doesn't seem to be amnesia, because when she subconsciously searched her memory bank, she found that she seemed to have no such thing as memory at all, just like a newborn baby with a completely empty head.

What is a memory bank? Why do we subconsciously think about this?

"Zi~~~"
