Chapter 67
The sudden news interrupted their honeymoon, Li Xi and Duan Zhen looked at each other, neither of them spoke, but they could see the seriousness in each other’s eyes.
“It looks like they faced Clemens directly in the last round.” Li Xi said.
“Only one person survived.” Duan Zhen said in a heavy tone.
“It’s better to ask why that person survived.” Li Xi thought for a moment, then turned to look at Duan Zhen: “I have to go back and see what he wants to do.”
“I’ll go with you.” Duan Zhen immediately said, “My blood has a restraining effect on him.”
“No need.” Li Xi shook his head, “It will be fine, but you will arouse his killing intent if you follow.”
Duan Zhen frowned: “He wanted to kill you last time.”
“I don’t remember.” Li Xi squinted his eyes: “He also touched me?”
Duan Zhen almost forgot that his memory hadn’t been unsealed, because Li Xi’s behavior was very natural all the time, no different from before, which made him always unaware, so he explained: “It happened some time ago, you probably do not remember.”
Li Xi touched his chin: “It seems that more things happened during that time than I imagined.”
Originally, he thought it was okay to have the memory sealed, but now it still feels a little inconvenient.
Duan Zhen didn’t speak. In fact, he secretly hoped that Li Xi could recover his memory, but if Li Xi didn’t want to, he would act as if he didn’t have this matter, and didn’t even mention it.
Now he just nodded silently beside him.
“Forget it, I’ll take you back first.” Li Xi shook his head, didn’t say much, just said: “Next time I’ll take you to see other places.”
“Li Xi.” Duan Zhen took his hand, met his gaze, and softened his tone: “You don’t have to carry everything by yourself, trust me.”
Li Xi was startled: “I didn’t…”
Duan Zhen reached out and stroked his hair, and said in a low voice, “You are no longer alone.”
After a moment of absent-mindedness, Li Xi lowered his eyes, didn’t make a sound, but took Duan Zhen back to the resting place.
Duan Zhen never let go of his hand, Li Xi seemed to acquiesce in his following up, and walked forward without saying a word.
“Hi!” Not long after we went out, Clemens was not found, but two teenagers ran out from the corner.
“Hurst.” Li Xi nodded to the person who spoke, “Are you also here to find Clemens?”
“No, we are here to look for you.” Modona said, he glanced at Duan Zhen next to him: “You should have also received the news that Clemens has been cleared.”
“Yes.” Li Xi’s face darkened: “With his strength and character, there is no reason to let a person go. He must have other purposes.”
“What do you think he wants to do?” Madonna asked.
“How do I know.” Li Xi was irritated: “Maybe it’s because I’m tired of this game.”
Hurst blinked, half of his body pressed on Moduna, and said with a smile: “I think he wants you to separate from this person quickly.”
“Clearing the level alone won’t let everyone end the game.” Li Xi frowned: “And Duan Zhen and I are together to take care of his business.”
Hearst looked at him with eyes that everyone understood: “You also know what Clemens’ attitude towards you is. With his character, he has restrained himself by not directly killing Duan Zhen.”
“…Don’t speak so strangely.” Li Xi clicked his tongue: “I have nothing to do with him.”
After all, he said in a cold tone: “If you have time to come here to provoke me, why don’t you see if there are any new changes in the game after clearing the level.”
“Not yet.” Maduna said, he smiled at Li Xi: “I checked it at the first time, and came out after making sure there was no problem.”
Li Xi said to Hester without sincerity: “Look, they all look the same, how come he is so much calmer than you.”
Hurst smiled: “You are sowing discord.”
He reached out to pull Moduna: “But my relationship with Moduna will not be affected.”
“Oh.” Li Xi was indifferent.
Interrupted by these two people, the idea of going to Clemens immediately faded away. The main reason is that if the other party’s main purpose is really Duan Zhen, then whether he leads Duan Zhen to find him or leaves Duan Zhen alone, it is not so safe.
He drove away the twins rudely, and then leaned closer to Duan Zhen’s ear and whispered, “Let’s go find Shan Zuo.”
They were walking towards Shan Zuo’s room, just in time to see the other party also walking in this direction, seeing them, Shan Zuo immediately quickened his pace.
“This time the system broadcasted comprehensively, and I found its flaw.” Shan Zuo said straight to the point as soon as he came up.
“Wait.” Li Xi raised his hand to stop him, pulled him into Duan Zhen’s room, and set up a sound-proof barrier before saying: “Walls have ears.”
He suspected that Gemini didn’t want the game to end so early. If they heard Shan Zuo’s plan, it would only increase the difficulty for no reason.
“I have mastered a part of the back door to enter the system. Although I can’t seize power, I can change some settings when it doesn’t find out.” Shan Zuo sped up his speech: “At the same time, I further narrowed its location. A comprehensive broadcast may allow us to grasp the precise position.”
“If the full broadcast will only happen when the tenth level is passed, then the chances are too small.” Duan Zhen frowned: “Many people will move to the world of other demon kings after the eighth or ninth time. For them, high-level The world is too dangerous.”
“But they won’t really die.” Li Xi said: “However, we also can’t prove this, no one would be willing to try.”
“No, there will always be someone.” Duan Zhen’s eyes flickered slightly, and he said to Shan Zuo: “Can you cancel the barrier between the intermediate and advanced worlds, so that we can find people who have passed the ninth level to form a team, Help him break through the tenth level.”
Shan Zuo lowered his head and worked on his computer for a while, then raised his head: “Yes.”
Immediately afterwards, he pressed a few keys, only to hear the computer beep a few times, and suddenly a large piece of text appeared, flashing across the screen quickly. Immediately afterwards, the screen suddenly went black.
“Success.” Shan Zuo said.
However, this computer was also scrapped because it was discovered by the system.
Li Xi pulled him violently, his magic power burst out and collided with the invisible force in the air. The furnishings in the house were swept aside by the shock wave, and it was as if there was a whirlwind, destroying the house into a mess.
After another dozen seconds, the surroundings returned to silence.
“Is it the main system?” Duan Zhen asked.
He couldn’t see the confrontation in the air, he could only see the damaged items around, but the two of them were not hurt by Li Xi’s side. He faintly realized that this was Li Xi’s power, which made him feel powerless rarely.
“It wants to kill you.” Li Xi nodded, and said to Shan Zuo: “I blocked it for you this time, but the main system may have included you in the exception list.”
“The main system relies on the smart bracelet to identify people.” Shan Zuo pushed down his glasses: “Next, I will study how to change the identification code of the smart bracelet.”
Although he didn’t quite understand, Li Xi intuitively knew that this matter was not simple.
“It’s best to finish it before the next game.” He said, “Otherwise, the main system will try its best to kill you in the game. If your next world is the twin world, the danger will be doubled.”
He suspected that Gemini would target Shan Zuo and directly kill him.
As they were talking, the system suddenly broadcast a new message to everyone’s smart bracelets.
[Due to unknown reasons, the rules of the test level have changed. Senior members can team up with intermediate members to enter the advanced level. After successfully clearing the level, all members have the same level. 】
A text was sent later, describing the changes in detail.
“The first step is ready.” Duan Zhen narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at the information on the smart bracelet.
Next, it is time to find members of the ninth level who are willing to take a gamble.
“It’s most appropriate to come to my world.” Li Xi said, “Let me be the final boss, and I can guarantee you to pass through safely.”
