"Lu Yao, what happened?"
Harold was called over by Lu Yao temporarily. He didn't know the situation here, but he was keenly aware that those people who had just left were full of malice towards Lu Yao.
Because of their great power, most dragons have rough and unruly personalities.
Harold has lived in a different environment from his fellow dragons since he was a child. Now he has become associated with the human race. He appears to be aggressive and irritable on the outside, but he is delicate and sensitive on the inside.
He didn't like the way those humans looked at Lu Yao.
Lu Yao tapped Harold's hard scales until his hand hurt, and he quickly took it back: "It's just a small problem, don't worry."
Harold turned his head, his eyes, which were bigger than Lu Yao's head, widened and locked onto Bu Du: "Isn't she the Son of God? You're protecting her like this?"
Not only do I feel guilty in my heart.
He failed to protect his mother, right in front of that man.
If it was that man, the mother would definitely let him go and do what he wanted.
Now it was Him who stood beside the mother, not only had He failed to protect her, but He even failed to gain her trust.
A huge dragon head stood before his eyes, which looked quite terrifying, especially since the dragon was still flying.
Lu Yao reached out and pushed Harold: "Look ahead, don't get bumped."
Harold stiffened his neck and did not move.
Lu Yao: "Don't be too strict with him since he is not even one year old. I hope he can grow up like a child. The responsibilities of an adult should not be placed on the shoulders of a child."
Harold turned back silently.
After a while, the voice of the little black dragon came along with the wind: "Next time you open a new store, I want to follow you."
Lu Yao was right. Even if Lu did not have the qualifications to become a god, he was indeed less than a year old, so the task of protecting Lu Yao could not be entirely entrusted to him.
Harold suddenly became ambitious and asked him to teach his little nephew for a period of time.
Lu Yao had no objection to this.
Not only did she droop her eyelids, she also pursed her lips in grievance.
The mother really didn't trust Him.
Alfred had been staying close to Lu Yao. When they finally finished talking, the little dragon pulled Lu Yao's sleeve, then jumped onto Harold's head and shouted crisply, "Dad."
Harold's scales exploded and he yelled loudly: "Get out!"
Strictly speaking, Alfred is a super artificial intelligence that combines magic, science, and divine power.
His body bones are made from Harold's scales, his brain is an ultra-micro artificial intelligence brain made by Team 1042, and his heart is an artificial heart made by researchers at the blind box store using crystal core energy.
Lu Yao designed him, gave him an independent personality and consciousness with magic and divine power, and shared time with him.
Alfred's master is Lu Yao, but he has multiple parents.
Most scientists accepted this cute and interactive big baby well, but some were quite resistant, such as Harold.
Xiaolong, who is less than 100 years old, cannot accept his new identity as a father.
It just so happened that Alfred's appearance was based on Harold's dragon form, so Alfred was particularly close to Harold.
Alfred returned to Lu Yao with grievance, tears in his eyes: "Master."
Lu Yao smiled and rubbed Alfred's head.
"Be good."
——
The sidewalks on and under the overpass at No. 66 Sanhua Road were crowded with people watching the fun. Some people with super powers who had the ability to fly were even hovering in the air, waiting for the dragon to return home.
Lu Yao lay on Harold's back and sighed, "The store door is blocked."
Harold flapped his wings, and the wind he created cleared the entire street of people.
When landing, Harold was the first to transform into human form and easily caught Lu Yao who was holding Budu.
Alfred flapped his wings vigorously and followed Harold eagerly.
Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one on the street, the group immediately returned to the store.
There was no one in the store outside, everyone was in the cram school.
222 and 444 were cleaning up the mess in the cram school hall and several teachers' offices, Huo Jiao was tidying up the information room, Xu Xiaoxiao and Xie Molin were surrounding Bai Yi.
Lu Yao saw the bloody tissue in the trash can and walked over quickly: "Who's injured?"
Lin Xue, who was sitting on the single sofa, stood up and looked surprised: "You're back now?"
Lu Yao ignored her and walked to Bai Yi. He saw that her wrist was bandaged and her face was pale. "Bai Yi, how did you get hurt?"
Xu Xiaoxiao's eyes were red, as if she had just cried, and her voice was still tearful: "I don't know what happened to that 696, he suddenly attacked Bai Yi and scratched her hand."
696
Lu Yao didn't have time to think about it, he lifted Bai Yi's wrist and checked her injury.
Bai Yi's face was pale and he looked listless.
She was seriously injured. There was a cut about 15 centimeters long on her left wrist. Her ring finger and little finger were cut off, leaving only a little flesh connected.
There was blood everywhere on the floor, table and chairs.
"How did he get injured like this?" Lu Yao frowned.
Xu Xiaoxiao explained that after Lu Yao and Bu Du were taken away, they were kept in the cram school and were not allowed to leave.
There was no other choice but to watch the live broadcast of the Super Energy Research Institute together.
Until a few minutes ago, the black dragon appeared, taking Lu Yao and Harold away. 696 suddenly grabbed Bai Yi and dragged her to escape from the cram school.
After the incident during the live broadcast, the security guards who were guarding the entrance of the Childhood Tutorial Center quickly withdrew.
As a result, for some reason, 696 ran out of the empty door directly, and Bai Yi was stuck at the door and couldn't get out.
696 came to his senses and after several failed attempts to take Bai Yi away, he resorted to hurting people.
According to Bai Yi's own recollection, she felt that 696 wanted to take away some of her blood at that time.
But when 696 took the potion bottle containing Bai Yi's blood, he was unable to walk out of the door of the cram school.
He became anxious and began to swing the knife around randomly, cutting the Bai Yi that was closest to him.
Lin Xue's eyes flashed with the scene where 696 was running away, and the blood belonging to Bai Yi on the knife in his hand seemed to be wiped clean out of thin air.
696 finally escaped alone and took nothing with him.
The clerk realized that there was indeed something murky about the Childhood Tuition Center, but there was no way to send Bai Yi to the hospital immediately.
Bai Yi had two broken fingers. Even if he returned to the shopping street and was sent to the hospital, he might not be able to fully recover.
Lu Yao called to Harold: "Help me hold her hand, I will treat her."
Harold unceremoniously pushed Xie Molin and Xu Xiaoxiao aside and held up Bai Yi's injured hand.
Lu Yao took out the magic wand from his personal space and used light magic to draw a magic circle. The soft silver light attached to the broken finger and the wound on Bai Yi's arm.
Thirty seconds later, the severed finger was reattached and the scratched skin returned to normal.
Bai Yi flexed and stretched his fingers repeatedly, and said incredulously: "It's completely healed, there's no discomfort, and I don't feel any pain."
Lu Yao sat down next to her: "I'll go out with you later. If there's no problem going back to the shopping street, then there's no problem."
Bai Yi was really disheartened at first, but after his wounds were healed, he completely recovered: "Shopkeeper, my brother is right, you can do magic, and you are a witch who raises dragons."
Xie Molin and Lin Xue were relatively silent. From time to time, they glanced at Harold who was standing next to Lu Yao, and occasionally looked at Lu Yao again.
Lu Yao patted Harold on the back: "Harold, you should have seen him in the furry shop."
Bai Yi looked at Harold, then at Lu Yao, "This... is the Mr. Julong who just came to pick you up?"
Bai Yi and Zhou Su got along well and he would occasionally go over to get some snacks during lunch break. He had indeed seen Harold helping out there.
But when she saw Harold's true face for the first time today, she was still very shocked.
The other employees heard this when they returned to the lounge after dealing with the mess outside, and all their eyes turned to Harold.
Harold sat down lazily next to Lu Yao, with no intention of explaining at all.
Lu Yao quickly scanned the news online and frowned slightly: "I'm leaving get off work early today, everyone go back first, otherwise you won't be able to leave later."
Perhaps because of the existence of super powers, the appearance of the dragon only shocked people for a short time. People's acceptance was higher than Lu Yao had expected, and voices calling for hunting dragons began to appear on the Internet.
Easily obtaining too much power is enough to make people lose their correct understanding of themselves.
Lin Xue said: "The matter of 696..."
Lu Yao interrupted: "His target was originally me, because Bai Yi and I have the same characteristics, and maybe for some reason, he targeted her. Bai Yi will rest at home for the next few days and come back to work after things here are over."
Lu Yao didn't want to explain too much, but you can understand it with a little thought.
Before today, the most similar feature between Bai Yi and Lu Yao was that they had no super powers.
But when Lu Yao went berserk in the Super Power Research Institute and summoned a giant dragon, she was classified as an incompetent person.
Afterwards, 696 attempted to kidnap Bai Yi.
696 is most likely Zhou Yishan’s companion.
For some reason, they need the incapable.
There is just one thing Lu Yao hasn’t figured out. If they just need people with no abilities, then what is the purpose of today’s drama
Blood!
696 failed to kidnap the person, so he planned to take Bai Yi’s blood.
Lu Yao remembered that she had also had her blood drawn at the Super Power Research Institute.
Perhaps, they have succeeded.
However, she used magic to fool the other party at the Super Power Research Institute, so the other party must have been shaken, otherwise they would not have tried to kidnap Bai Yi.
But it can only delay for a while, she has to get back the blood left in the Super Power Research Institute.
——
Super Energy Research Institute, basement.
696 lowered his head and stood in the shadows: "I'm sorry I couldn't bring another powerless person."
He had clearly investigated privately many times and found that the store did not have any security system, but a glass door inexplicably prevented him from completing his mission.
X stood in front of the experimental table, and all the researchers around him fell asleep.
He held a tube of bright red blood in his hand, and the corners of his mouth could not help but rise, in a happy mood: "Don't mind, we have already got the best materials."
696: "Didn't you watch the live broadcast? Lu Yao has been proven to be an absolute superpower, and can even summon unreal creatures. Her blood is useless."
X shook his head. "She is indeed powerless. The first time I saw her at the institute, I knew she was a pure powerless. My eyes can see through all disguises and get to the essence. Her blood is more suitable than any other material."
No. 52 has not spoken since 696 appeared.
At this time, he finally stopped, raised his head, and looked pious: "The machine has been debugged."
X walked to the operating table and slowly inserted the test tube containing blood into the groove.
Just press the green start button next to it, and the world will be completely different overnight.
In order to avoid unnecessary complications, X reached out and prepared to press the button directly.
A bloody green root emerged from the shadows and reached X's vitals.
"Don't move." The man's figure and face were shadowed in the darkness, and his voice was cold.
The familiar voice made X smile: "You are indeed the best of the best. It's a pity that the world will no longer need super powers, and even you will lose your place."
As soon as he finished speaking, X reached out and pressed the start button.
An Yan's slender fingers gently pinched the handle of the golden lotus, and the dark red liquid flowed down the emerald green stem, and the flat end pierced straight into X's skin like a sharp blade.
An Yan's whole body was covered with frost and snow, and his originally beautiful and clear red eyes were now dancing with a hint of dark light.
He said, "Don't get in her way."
He would help her get rid of all the troublesome beings and put all the blame on him, since he wouldn't die anyway.
An Yan is still upset about the blind box store.
He shouldn't have let her see that scene at that time, and he always regretted it afterwards.
But this time, even she wouldn't know.
An Yan used her fingertips to gently but forcefully push the lotus branch into X's skin.
X's body gradually lost strength and breathing became difficult.
He stretched out his hand persistently, trying to touch the button that was clearly right in front of him.
After 696 and 52 discovered An Yan, they both tried to stop him.
But in the face of absolute power, any struggle seems ridiculous.
696 and 52 were thrown to the ground by an unknown force, and tried to distract An Yan's attention and took the opportunity to press the start button.
But An Yan didn't give them a chance. The two of them lay down not far away, covered in blood, and they no longer had the strength to get up.
An Yan tilted his head and looked at X again.
"It's your turn."
"Wait a moment."
A hurried voice came from the dark corridor. An Yan paused and his expression changed slightly.
Lu Yao ran out panting, his eyes quickly swept around, and finally stopped at An Yan: "Don't kill him."
An Yan let go of his hand, looked at Lu Yao, and narrated calmly: "It will be very troublesome later, and the mission success rate will drop below 50%."
"It's okay." Lu Yao slowly approached An Yan, suppressed the various thoughts that kept flashing through his mind, and looked up at him calmly, "Don't do it, I'll take care of the rest."
"No chance, hahahaha." X lay on the operating table, pressed the start button with trembling hands, and couldn't help looking back at the expressions of the two people.
Lu Yao and An Yan had calm expressions, and looked at him with a strange kind of pity in their eyes, which was totally different from the regret he had expected.
The buzzing sound of the program starting up filled the entire underground laboratory, and a one-minute countdown began.
Lu Yao and An Yan looked at each other, and no one spoke.
"drop-"
At the last second of the countdown, a familiar system prompt sounded in Lu Yao's ears.
[The ultimate mission has begun. Because X's plan has been successfully implemented, the human race around the world has fallen into an unprecedented survival crisis. Please use the main products sold in this store as weapons to achieve the goal of "saving the world" within fourteen days. Please work hard to complete the mission! ]
Lu Yao finally found some time to look at X: "What did you do?"
X: "I watched today's live broadcast. You may be someone who can understand me. The existence of superpowers makes people lose their humanity. I just corrected this mistake and restored the world to the state it was sixty years ago."
Lu Yao roughly understood his thoughts and plans, which were slightly different from her guess, but did not affect the current situation.
No wonder they need the blood of the powerless.
Lu Yao looked at X and said, "It may be rude to interrupt you while you are enjoying your victory, but I must remind you that it is not superpowers that make the world unhappy."
X looked surprised: "Do you want me to act like this rude researcher and go beyond the trouble itself to solve the troublemaker
"Do you know how many people with super powers there are in the world? Before you appeared, I had never seen anyone without natural powers.
"And you must be a gift from the gods to us."
Lu Yao held his forehead with his hand: "By tomorrow afternoon at the latest, you will understand how stupid your remarks are at this moment."
Lu Yao had no intention of arguing with him any further. Since the blood could not be retrieved, there was no need to stay here any longer.
She walked out while looking down and using her cell phone to contact the staff at the cram school to inform them that they would have a five-day holiday starting tomorrow.
When they reached the door, Lu Yao turned around and asked, "Do you want to come with me?"
An Yan hesitated for a moment, then slowly walked towards her.
Lu Yao breathed a sigh of relief.
They both took the same elevator upstairs.
The institute has been controlled by X's companions, and all the researchers and experimental subjects are in a coma.
When they wake up tomorrow, they will find that the world has completely changed.
Lu Yao didn’t want to care about it for the moment. He got off the elevator on the first floor and walked straight to the door.
Walking out the door, An Yan stopped and said, "Lu Yao."
"Huh?" Lu Yao turned around and looked at him.
An Yan lowered his eyelids, avoiding her straight gaze: "I can't go with you."
Lu Yao nodded to show her understanding. After all, the two of them were not close enough to go home together. But she was still a little worried: "You won't go back to find him again, will you?"
An Yan's eyes were a little dull, as if he didn't understand.
Lu Yao reminded: "X."
An Yan: "He has safely passed the turning point. Getting rid of him will not change the direction of the world, and the success rate of the mission will not increase. I will not go looking for him."
"Did you do that in the third world because of this situation?" Lu Yao couldn't help but ask.
As expected, she still cared about what happened back then. An Yan felt extremely regretful, but he had decided not to lie to her anymore.
"There are many traps in the dead world," An Yan nodded, "I'll help you deal with them all, Lu Yao just needs to walk straight forward."
"Why? Do you like me?" Lu Yao asked.
The system is going crazy: [Hey!!!]
Lu Yao is quite single: "I'm just asking casually."
An Yan looked away, looking left and right, but not at the person in front of him.
He was very hesitant.
After a long while, An Yan finally looked Lu Yao in the face, his expression extremely serious: "I... really... hate you."
Lu Yao: "What a coincidence, me too."
The system couldn’t help but: [Hahahahahaha… ]
