Collapse, I am actually in the villain camp

He paused and continued to explain, "So, in order for them to safely activate the Observation Hub, it's best for us to do nothing now, and then teleport directly over at the critical moment to subdue the person being controlled by the Eighth Herrscher.

“In that situation, we had the power to decide whether they lived or died.

"When they saw that we didn't attack them under such circumstances, they naturally understood our good intentions.

“Then both sides can work together to resolve it as a priority.”

As for what happens next, it is not within his consideration for the time being.

If nothing unexpected happens, after defeating the Eighth Herrscher, he will be able to complete this trial and leave this "cyclical" world.

"But how do we determine when to go?" Kiana asked the key question.

"The basis for our judgment is naturally the reset time." Li Wen smiled. "Since we've found the specific location, we can definitely teleport there before the 'world reset' and solve the problem."

After all, in the previous two worlds, the two Herrschers had triggered a key event, so he was sure that as long as he could clear everything before the event at that key node was triggered, he would be able to easily solve the related problems.

However, just in case, he has another strategy.

He turned his head and looked at Blake, "Blake, help me hack into the surveillance system here."

"You want to monitor them through their internal surveillance?" Blake instantly understood his old partner's intentions. "However, while intrusion isn't difficult, I can't guarantee that I won't be discovered."

Although the large number of employees of "Fire Moth" made its intrusion work much simpler, it did not believe that such a critical system was left unattended.

Otherwise, how did the people from "Fire Moth" lock onto their location before?

Therefore, it expressed its concerns directly.

"It's okay." Li Wen waved his hand gently. "It's just an extra insurance. If it works, it's better. If it doesn't, it doesn't matter."

Seeing Li Wen say this, Blake nodded directly and took on the task.

It lay on a container nearby, its two front paws alternately slapping the instrument that Li Wen took out.

Not long after, it raised its head and looked at Li Wen again, "Done, meow."

It pushed the instrument directly towards Li Wen, and closed its eyes tightly, fearing that it would see something it shouldn't see, which would cause the Eighth Ruler to pull it into the dream again.

Li Wen picked up the instrument and began to check the surveillance videos one by one, intending to find the laboratory that Kiana mentioned.

……

the other side.

Research room.

"Someone hacked into the surveillance system."

Mei was the first to notice that someone had hacked into the Fire Moth's surveillance system.

Clearly, this is not what the surviving personnel did.

After all, most of those people have the corresponding authority and there is no need to do this.

In other words, the Eighth Herrscher manipulated someone to hack into the surveillance system in order to check the current status of the "Fire Moth"?

"Did it do it?" Alicia guessed.

"Yeah." Mei nodded, then looked hesitant.

"What's wrong, Mei?"

"I'm hesitating whether to cut off the other party's invasion?"

Listening to Mei's words, Alicia asked with some interest, "In other words, Mei, do you think it might be beneficial to us without cutting off the invasion?"

"Yeah." Mei nodded slightly and explained, "If I directly cut off the other party's intrusion into the surveillance, it means that we can cut off the other party's extended "field of vision."

“But to be honest, this approach seems to me to be quite effective.

"After all, as the culprit responsible for the current situation of the base, it also has a general understanding of our current situation and our distribution.

"If we don't cut off the surveillance, we can use the information we previously laid out to mislead the other party."

Before implementing the "Consciousness Hub" plan, Mei deliberately designed several imposters to disguise the plan led by Spasi.

At this moment, in those arranged venues, the situation they displayed was similar to that of the Fifth Research Institute.

All the people in charge have disguised themselves as Spasi.

Misleading information like this may cause the other party to make a wrong judgment.

Moreover, even if the other party discovered the true situation, she could use the "Consciousness Hub" to stimulate the Eighth Herrscher and force the other party to make a choice.

After all, if the Eighth Herrscher discovered the plan and chose not to take action, she could completely rely on the "Consciousness Hub" plan to lock on to the opponent's position.

If the other party takes action, it would be more in line with her wishes. She can even directly mobilize those fusion warriors to eliminate the other party.

So after weighing the pros and cons, Mei ignored the hacked surveillance system and continued to wait.

Daytime

My shoulder might be twisted, it hurts a lot. I'll take a nap and recover a little during the day before writing again.

Make up a hundred words, make ...

Chapter 32 Continue the Experiment

Although he didn't know why the "Fire Moth" did not interfere with his invasion, Li Wen believed that the other party must have some plan.

However, this has nothing to do with him. He only needs to observe the situation in the Fifth Institute through surveillance.

After spending a little time, he found several laboratories that were very similar to the ones described by Kiana.

"So it was a disguise..."

Li Wen nodded slightly.

However, this disguise could not deceive him. After all, he could compare the coordinates given by Kiana with the coordinates of the surveillance to confirm which one was the real Fifth Research Institute.

After locking his sights on the real target, he began to wait.

As long as he waits until the other party fully activates the observation hub, he can ask Kiana to teleport him over and directly control the puppet of the Eighth Herrscher.

So, the waiting began.

It didn't take too much time. After realizing that the equipment was fully operational, Li Wen quickly looked at Kiana and said, "Get started!"

Kiana, who had been ready for a long time, did not hesitate and immediately used her power to construct a wormhole that directly teleported to the Fifth Research Institute.

The two people and the cat quickly stepped in.

……

Seeing that the equipment had been activated and all the psychopathic fusion warriors had completed the connection with the dream, the Eighth Herrscher controlled Bolong's body and slowly reached for the gun bag at his waist.

However, before he could make a move, a huge purple-black hole appeared between him and Spasi.

"what?!"

Looking at the inexplicable hole that suddenly appeared in front of him, his body suddenly froze and he dared not move rashly.

The sudden fluctuation of Honkai energy also attracted Spasi's attention. He turned around and looked at the purple-black empty hole behind him. His pupils suddenly shrank and he revealed an extremely nervous expression.

"Bolong, step back and don't get close to it." He pulled out his pistol and shouted to his confidant.

Bolong took this opportunity to draw the pistol from his waist and took a few steps back as Spasi requested.

Under the current circumstances, he did not dare to rashly attack Spasi.

As the two watched nervously, several figures stepped out from the hole.

Spasi pointed the gun at the other party, but before he could ask, he saw the other party's figure suddenly disappear. When he appeared again, Bolong had fallen into the other party's hands.

He did not panic and call out to Bolong, but continued to turn the gun and pointed it at the strange man, "What do you want to do?"

"Don't be nervous, Doctor." Li Wen said with a smile, "We have no ill intentions."

"No ill intentions?" Spasi's face remained cold. "Then please let go of my guards."

"Please rest assured, we have no ill will towards your guards." Li Wen's expression was still relaxed, and he extended his hand towards Bolong's face.

Looking at Li Wen's actions, although Spasi's expression remained calm, his breathing became heavier.

Then he took off Bolon's glasses and Li Wen twisted Bolon's head so that Spasi could easily see Bolon's eyes.

"How can it be?!"

Looking at Bolong's lifeless eyes, Spasi immediately realized a fact clearly - his subordinates had been controlled by the Eighth Herrscher.

If these two people hadn't suddenly appeared and controlled Bolong, if the Eighth Herrscher had controlled Bolong to attack him, causing problems with the Observation Hub, then the "Fire Moth" would have been completely finished!

When he thought of this, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

Seeing Spasi's sudden change in expression, Li Wen nodded with satisfaction. "Doctor, it seems you've understood the current situation. That's good. I believe you understand our good intentions."

Spasi remained silent. He could only confirm that the two people who suddenly appeared in front of him were indeed helping him eliminate the risk, but he was not sure of the other party's purpose in doing so.

Therefore, he was still wary of Li Wen and Kiana.

Just then, his communicator suddenly rang.

He did not rashly connect the communicator, but instead turned his gaze to Li Wen and Kiana.

After all, at this moment in the Fifth Research Institute, the situation is under the control of these two people.

Seeing this, Li Wen simply stretched out his hand, indicating that the other party could connect.

Spasi finally answered the call, "Dr. Mei."

He was not too surprised by Dr. Mei's communication at this moment. After all, the "Consciousness Hub" project was given to him to lead by Dr. Mei. The other party must be very concerned about this project that concerns the life and death of the "Fire Moth" and it is impossible for him not to notice the accident here.

"Dr. Spasi, based on the reactions just detected, the two people in front of you are very likely weapons."

Seeing that the communication was connected, Dr. Mei immediately informed Spasi of what he had learned.

"Weapons?" Spasi couldn't help but cast his gaze towards the two people in front of him. He naturally didn't doubt Dr. Mei's words.

but……

"Since they are 'weapons', why do they want to control Bolong who is already controlled by them?" He frowned and couldn't help asking.

"...I don't know." Dr. Mei was silent for a while and shook his head.

To be honest, the current situation made it difficult for her to judge the specific situation.

After all, if the other party is a "weapon", then logically speaking, it is impossible for it to communicate with normal humans, and it is impossible for it to ignore such a great opportunity to destroy humanity...

"What should we do next?" Spasi asked the most important question.

Although the two people in front of him did not show any malicious intent, as long as the Observation Center did not awaken the psychopathic fusion warriors who entered the Eighth Herrscher's dream, the initiative would always be in the hands of the other party.

The feeling of entrusting his life to someone else's hands made him feel very uncomfortable.

"Continue the experiment." After thinking for a while, Dr. Mei quickly gave the answer.

There was no time for them to retreat.

At a time when they are severely eroded by the Eighth Herrscher, they must rely on this plan to lock on to the other side's position.

Once the experiment is terminated, the subsequent erosion will likely make it difficult for them to organize the experiment again.

Therefore, they had to take a risk.

"I understand." Spasi nodded.

"I have sent Alicia over. With her here, at least... we can be more secure." Dr. Mei continued.

Although she wasn't sure if Alicia could defeat the two people who had appeared out of nowhere, the presence of the second-ranked warrior of the "Fire Moth" at least gave them some peace of mind.

"I see."

Spasi took a deep breath. All he had to do now was wait.

Chapter 33: The Third Trial, Completed

Soon, Alicia arrived at the location of the Fifth Research Institute.
