A duelist never gives up!

Yuan Qi secretly thought that this was not good. There was no place to hide at this distance. Should we engage in a head-on battle? Or...

"Don't you have your ID card on you?" Ai quickly reminded him, "Hurry and open the door!"

Upon hearing this, Yuan Qi quickly took out his ID card and swiped it in the verification area in front of the door.

"drop!"

With a crisp sound, the iron door opened, revealing a room similar to a command room, but there was no one in this room.

"come on in!"

Yuan Qi pulled Nona into the room and immediately closed the door. However, just as he was about to take a breath, a crisp sound suddenly came from outside the door.

The door opened.

"Huh? No one?"

A guard in a black uniform stood in front of the door, looking at the empty command room with a puzzled look on his face.

"Nonsense, those people who came late at night have all gone off work, and we guards are the only ones left. Isn't it normal that there is no one here?" said another guard wearing glasses.

"But... judging from the hole outside, the intruder could only hide in this room." The black-clad guard said, and suddenly noticed a storage cabinet on the right side of the entrance to the room.

What if the intruder was hiding in the closet at that moment? It doesn't seem impossible.

The black-clad guard walked lightly in front of the storage cabinet, then grabbed the door handle with a serious look on his face.

However, just as the black-clad guard was about to open the door of the storage cabinet, his companion's voice suddenly sounded behind him.

"Hey! Don't do anything stupid!"

The bespectacled guard shouted, "This is where the researchers are staying. If they find out you've been touching their lockers, you'll be in big trouble!"

"But……"

"It's nothing to worry about. You need an ID card to enter this room. If the intruders had an ID card, would they be stupid enough to blow a hole in the wall?! They must have run to the left along the road! We should give chase!"

The black guard hesitated for a moment, then let go of the cabinet and sighed softly, "You make sense. Let's go."

"..."

After the sound of footsteps and a door closing, the room was once again filled with silence.

Seeing this, Ai, who was floating in the air, quickly said to Yuan Qi in the closet: "Aqi, they're gone. You can come out now."

"..."

"Ah Qi?"

Ai looked puzzled and was about to break into the storage cabinet to find out what was going on when the door of the storage cabinet was suddenly slammed open. The next second, Yuan Qi and Nona flew out from inside in an intimate hug and fell to the ground with a plop.

Ai looked at the two people with flushed faces and couldn't help but narrow her eyes. She looked at Yuan Qi coldly and said, "I say...you didn't do anything to offend me just now, did you?"

Chapter 19: The Road to Heaven.

Yuan Qi didn't reply immediately, not because he felt guilty, but mainly because he didn't react to what happened for a while. Let's rewind the time to two minutes ago...

"come on in!"

At Yuan Qi's shout, Nona was pulled into a storage cabinet placed in the corner of the wall.

The storage cabinet was very small. As soon as Nona entered, she felt her body pressed against Yuan Qi. She felt like a soft pillow, tightly wrapped by Yuan Qi.

"Hmm..." Nona groaned and subconsciously tried to push Yuan Qi away, but almost overturned the entire cabinet.

"Hush." ​​Yuan Qi lowered his voice and said, "Be patient for a while. We can go out after they leave."

Huh? Patience?

Nona felt Yuan Qi's hot breath and couldn't help but frown. What a joke! Why did she have to squeeze in with such a guy? Aren't they just two guards? Can't she just knock them down directly? Why hide?!

However, just as Nona was about to push the door open impatiently, Ino's voice sounded in her mind again.

"Kiss! Kiss!"

"..."

"Now is the best opportunity, hurry up!"

Now is the best opportunity?

Nona raised her head slightly, and through the light coming in from the gap in the cabinet, she saw Yuan Qi's handsome face above her, and the lips that Ino had been dreaming about were just within reach.

"Gulu."

Nona swallowed, beads of sweat seeped out from her forehead, and her little hands clenched unconsciously.

Do I... really want to kiss Hara Nana here?

"Hurry up! Hurry up!" Ino kept urging Nona in her mind, "Didn't you say it doesn't matter what you do? Kissing is nothing to you, right?"

"No...that's right, kissing or something like that is like stepping on an ant to me, it's not worth mentioning at all!" Nona answered without hesitation.

Forget it, just think of it as being gnawed by a pig. Yes, just think of it as being gnawed by a pig!

Thinking of this, Nona stretched out her little hand and tightly grasped his shoulders to prevent him from escaping - although in this small space, he couldn't run far.

"Nero?" As if noticing something strange about Nero, Yuan Qi couldn't help but let out a puzzled sound.

"Don't move." Nona blushed and said impatiently, "Just listen to my orders."

“Ah—huh?!”

Without giving Yuan Qi any chance to prepare, Nona pressed her rosy lips against his. The next second, a strange emotion rushed from Nona's toes to her brain, forcing her petite body to tremble slightly.

"Wait..." Yuan Qi subconsciously escaped from Nona's mouth and asked in confusion, "Nero, what's wrong with you?"

However, what answered him was an even more brutal attack.

……

After figuring out what happened, Yuan Qi pursed his lips, looked at Nero beside him with a strange expression and said, "I think...it should just be some accident."

After all, he could never imagine why Nero would suddenly come up to him in that small space, hold him down like a lioness, and then launch a fierce attack on him.

"Wow...is that a surprise?" Ai looked at Nero with a bad face, feeling a raging fire burning in his heart.

I originally thought that Nero was just a little brat who knew nothing, but I didn’t expect her to be such a hateful thieving cat. It seems that she hid it too well on weekdays, and I didn’t notice it... Damn it, if I had known this would happen, I wouldn’t have let them have the chance to be alone!

As for Yuan Qi?

Go back and punish him.

"Just now it was just..." Nona touched her lips with her slender fingers, her face flushed as if she was drunk, her eyes blurred as she said, "It's just..."

"only?"

"I don't know..." Nona recalled the touching feeling and turned her face away, whispering, "Don't ask me."

Isn't it too cunning to answer with "I don't know"?

Yuan silently looked at Nero sitting on the ground and couldn't help but sigh.

Perhaps it was just puberty that triggered Nero's vague desire for the opposite sex... Everyone has such a period of time. It was not Nero's fault, but my own fault for not noticing this.

"If you don't know, don't think about it for now." Yuan Qi stood up. "Some things are hard to understand..."

Yuan Qi's body stiffened, his throat seemed to be stuck, and the words in his mouth suddenly stopped.

"Don't you understand...?" Nona raised her head and asked what Yuan Qi meant by this sentence, but found that his pupils shrank suddenly and he looked at the console in shock.

"Ok?"

Nona quickly stood up and followed Yuan Qi's gaze. Above the console, there was a huge glass panel. At first, Nona thought it was a monitor or something, but now, looking closely, it seemed to be just a huge piece of glass, and through the glass...

"what is that?!"

Nona looked at the scene inside the glass and couldn't help but exclaimed.

"I don't know... I have a bad feeling in my heart..." Yuan Qi slowly walked into the control console and put his face close to the glass, observing the other side of the glass more clearly - it was a vast space with a cylindrical device in it, which was filled with white energy.

Yuan Qi had an impression of this. He had seen this thing before in the basement of the Duel Academy—the Duel Power Recovery Device. However, the one in the basement of the Duel Academy was much smaller than this one, and more importantly...

"There's someone inside."

Yuan Qi's voice trembled with anger: "What the hell are they doing?!"

That's right, inside that huge cylinder, a male figure wearing a blue and white tights was floating.

"Any more questions?"

Nona looked at the column coldly and said, "Apart from human experiments, is there any other possibility?"

"Yuan Qi, look at this." Ai pointed to a white document on the console and said, "This looks like an experiment log."

"Experimental log?"

Yuan Qi hurriedly reached out and picked up the experimental log. On the snow-white paper, there were a few lines of ink as black as sewage:

Experiment Name: Road to Heaven

Experiment leader: Albert Sorrilla

Subject: Avis Claude

Time: New calendar year xx month xx day

Above the time, there are two bright red seals printed: the official seal of the Duelist Alliance and the official seal of the Duelist Research Institute.

Yuan Qi took a deep breath, and then... gently opened the document.

Chapter 20: Bullshit.

After opening the experimental log, I found not a record of the experiment, but a long, pen-written self-explanation. The first line of this self-explanation read:

Perhaps humans can become gods.

After seeing the wallpaper on that basement, this idea came to my mind.

If the information on the mural is true history, then the birth of the God of Duel actually originated from human motivation. Humans gave the "God of Duel" human consciousness through a certain "ritual".

Perhaps before that, the "God of Duel" was just an energy geometry with chaotic logic, but under the power of humans, "it" gained a real soul, or there is another possibility.

It wasn't humans who gave the "God of Duel" a soul.

Instead, humans merged their souls into the body of the "God of Duel" and became gods!

This idea excites me. I don't know what kind of rituals the ancients used, nor do I know the difference between the ancient "Duel God" and ordinary dueling power.

However, the power of duel has its own logic - for example, low-concentration energy will instinctively move closer to high-concentration energy, but will spread out to a certain extent. The power of duel is a stable, logical, and currently pollution-free energy. I now discover that in addition to serving as an energy source, it seems to have another function - carrying the soul.

Of course, this is just my guess and cannot be regarded as a conclusion, but isn’t it my job to turn it into a conclusion?

"Unforgivable!"

A sharp voice rang in Yuan Qi's ears. Yuan Qi thought it was Ai who was angry, but when he turned his head, he found that Nero was staring at the experimental log with a cold face, as if he wanted to tear it into pieces.

"That's right." Yuan Qi closed the experimental log and looked at the figure in the cylinder with a serious expression. "Unforgivable, let's destroy this place."

He no longer wanted to read the rest of the log; now he just wanted to completely destroy this experiment.

"How do I do this?" Ai asked, looking at the console in front of him in confusion. "Do you know what the buttons here are for? How do I stop it?"

"Isn't it obvious at a glance?" Yuan Qi said, looking at the console. "The more critical the instrument, the less likely it is to have overly complicated button settings. That would only waste energy. Simple and quick is the right answer."

After saying that, Yuan Qi gently pressed a few buttons on the operating table, and a passage appeared on the right side of the operating table.

"Let's go." Yuan Qi said, stepping away from the operating table. "Let's drain all the dueling power from this can!"

Although this will paralyze the city, only by making the matter bigger will the Queen have a chance to intervene. As for whether the Queen will also be involved in the corruption?

Maybe she had this idea in her heart, but unless she and others failed, she would never implement it herself.

Or maybe...she actually knew about this experiment a long time ago and pretended not to know in order to test her own reaction?

While thinking, Yuan Qi came to the duel power recovery device. Without any unnecessary operation, Yuan Qi placed his hand outside the thick glass jar and whispered, "Ayi."

"clear."

Ai's face darkened. Just as he was about to reach out his hand to absorb the duel power inside, his expression suddenly changed. He shouted hurriedly, "Something's wrong! It looks like it's about to explode! Ah Qi, step back quickly and close your eyes!"

"what?!"

Yuan Qi quickly turned around and threw Nero to the ground. The moment his arm touched the cold ground, Yuan Qi felt a loud noise behind him, and a dazzling white light spread in the space at lightning speed.
