The Zither Woman's slender, jade-like hands gently brushed across the strings.
In an instant, the music shot towards the middle-aged man like a sharp blade.
Faced with this sudden attack, the middle-aged man remained seated and motionless.
Swish--
The music grazed the middle-aged man's face and shot out, shattering the table behind him into pieces.
A bloody gash appeared on the man's face.
He raised his right hand and gently touched it, looking at the blood on his fingertip, and sneered, "Is this some kind of show of force?"
The Zither Woman said calmly, "Just a friendly reminder."
"If you fail to fulfill these two requirements within a week, the next person to visit will be the Grand Consul."
He doesn't have my good temper.
Having said that, the Zither Woman stepped out of the French windows and vanished into thin air.
The middle-aged man narrowed his eyes, his expression growing increasingly gloomy.
"They're declaring war on us."
A slightly aged voice echoed from inside the room.
"It's just a matter of time."
"The evil god you awakened has brought this time forward."
The middle-aged man said in a deep voice, "You also think my decision was wrong?"
The aged voice sighed, "You are indeed a bit too impatient."
The middle-aged man spoke up, " The Law Enforcement has long wanted to take action against the Otherworld No. Zero; the awakened evil god is just an excuse for them."
" The Military Department and Law Enforcement enforcement are pressing me relentlessly, otherwise I wouldn't have played this card."
"Besides, what is there to fear from a mere Level Nine governor?"
The voice inside the room said calmly, " The Grand Consul is only one; there's someone else who deserves more attention."
The middle-aged man raised his eyebrows. "You mean Yao Yuan?"
"That's right."
He scoffed, " Yao Yuan hasn't even broken through to Level Nine yet; he's just got some talent."
The aged voice fell silent upon seeing this.
The middle-aged man slowly stood up. "Since they want to fight, let's just overturn the table."
He pressed the bell on another table, and his assistant quickly pushed the door open and entered.
"Immediately order them to secretly move the Test Subject X; Law Enforcement has most likely already discovered that location."
"Yes."
A secret laboratory.
A group of staff members in white uniforms were working busily.
On the central experimental table lay a humanoid creature nearly three meters tall.
He had long limbs and skin as white as snow.
It has no nose or ears, and sharp fangs protrude from the sides of its mouth.
The experimental subject was covered with all sorts of tubes and electronic data cables.
The equipment next to him was condensing and extracting his blood.
The extracted bright red blood was injected drop by drop into the empty white jar.
The can is only half the size of a soda can.
Once a tank is filled, the robotic arm immediately retracts it and places a new one inside.
The test subject slowly opened its eyes and quietly observed everything in the laboratory.
A passing lab worker saw this and immediately shouted.
"He's awake!"
The lab supervisor rushed over, and after confirming that all the indicators on the monitoring instruments were normal, said to the operator beside him:
"Inject one liter of intensive sedative."
"Yes, administer one liter of intensive sedative."
The robotic arm quickly pushed a large bucket of blue liquid onto the subject's waist.
The subject turned to look at the extraction device, grinned, and closed his eyes again.
The person in charge breathed a sigh of relief.
Soon after, he took a black communication card out of his pocket.
Upon seeing the above content, his expression changed drastically.
Organize equipment information.
"Transfer Test Subject X in two hours."
After nearly two days of rest, the Three Heavenly Kings finally recovered to their peak condition.
Qin Ze's evening routine involves hanging out with the Dew Duo and Wang Biao at a bar, chatting about the bizarre requests they've encountered, Little Deer listens quietly from the sidelines.
"How much longer do you plan to stay in Snow City?" asked curiously Slacking on the Sidelines.
Qin Ze replied, "I plan to go back to school in a couple of days."
He looked at the Little Deer: " Tongtong, what about you?"
Lu Tongtong darted away. "I... I plan to stay a little longer."
Qin Ze nodded.
Slacking on the Sidelines sighed, "What a pity."
Qin Ze asked knowingly, "What's a pity?"
Slacking on the Sidelines him on the shoulder. "It's a pity you weren't one of the chosen ones."
Qin Ze said calmly, "That's wonderful."
Suddenly, a commotion arose outside.
The people inside the bar were alerted and came out to see what was going on.
Qin Ze and the others also went outside out of curiosity.
From the direction of the Ring Mountains, a dazzling seven-colored glow descended from the night sky, a truly magnificent sight.
" The Otherworld has opened," Slacking on the Sidelines said in a deep voice. "It really is in the Northern Territory."
Qin Ze feigned surprise. "So that was the Otherworld."
Slacking on the Sidelines, looking at Qin Ze, opens its mouth, its expression quite complicated.
Qin Ze smiled slightly, "It seems I'll have to stay a while longer. Exploring Otherworld should be quite interesting. Anyone want to team up?"
He Slacking on the Sidelines, "I've had too much to drink. Let's talk again tomorrow."
With that, he pulled the dazed Brother Biao away.
" Qin Ze," Lu Tongtong looked at him seriously, "Don't go into that Otherworld yet, it's too dangerous."
Qin Ze chuckled at her expression and patted her head, saying, "Okay, I'll listen to Tongtong."
Little Deer breathed a sigh of relief, "It's getting late, so... see you tomorrow?"
Qin Ze nodded. "See you tomorrow."
On his way back to his residence, Qin Ze opened the chat group and saw that Slacking on the Sidelines was talking about the Otherworld.
[ On the Slacking on the Sidelines: The Otherworld is open, it's in the Ring Mountains, and I just talked to Brother Biao about the Hunter, he'll be joining us for the trial tomorrow.]
[ Yao Yuan: Meet at the Ring Mountains at 7:00 AM tomorrow]
Qin Ze looked at the rare clear night sky and stretched.
" Hunt Otherworld, I really miss it."
The next day, the mountain peaks gathered around the central lake of the Ring Mountains.
Slacking on the Sidelines, Passerby A, Scholar, Lu Tongtong, and Wang Biao walked out of the Shelter Space.
The moment the Otherworld appeared last night, the Ring Mountains were sealed off by the men in gray coats, and no one was allowed to enter.
However, this is no problem for the hunters who can activate their Shelter Space at any time.
Slacking on the Sidelines, gazing at the entrance to the Otherworld above the central lake, he muttered, "We're still the most punctual."
Wang Biao looked around curiously.
This was his first experience with an invincible Shelter Space.
A rich floral fragrance suddenly filled everyone's nostrils.
Lu Tongtong turned around instinctively, only to bump her face into a wad of cotton.
" Little Deer sticking together~"
The Fairy hugged Lu Tongtong and kept stroking her head.
"I... I can't breathe..."
The Little Deer blushed, and the Fairy finally let her go.
"Haven't posted in ages, I thought you went to have a baby," Slacking on the Sidelines.
A green vine appeared in the Fairy's hand. "Is your skin itchy again?"
The man Slacking on the Sidelines immediately moved to stand behind the Scholar.
"Long time no see, everyone."
A Taoist carrying a wooden box emerged from the Shelter Space.
The Fairy asked in surprise, "Didn't you say you weren't coming?"
The Taoist waved his hand, "It's rare for everyone to be here; it would be a great pity if I missed it."
As the Scholar peeked out from the Slacking on the Sidelines, he asked, "What about the forbidden area?"
The Taoist replied, "I recently took on a disciple; with him around, I can leave for a while."
A white streak of light flew in from afar; it was Yao Yuan, wielding his sword.
Is everyone here?
He counted the heads on the Slacking on the Sidelines: "We're still missing the Beast Tamer. Is he going to stand us up again?"
No sooner had the words left his mouth than a man's voice rang out from behind the group.
"Hello everyone, I am the Beast Tamer."
