Chapter 1711: Chapter 900: Aria_2

Zong Cheng smiled and said, "I don’t want much. Just hand over Joker to me... or any Knight would do."

The Duke of Storm City couldn’t determine if what the other party said was true.

It was like a guessing game between them, each choosing the terms most advantageous for themselves and then releasing some information to deliberately create confusion.

They both knew that neither was truly honest in the cooperation, but chose to feign ignorance.

The Duke of Storm City laughed, "No problem."

"Then it’s a deal?" Zong Cheng pointed to his head and laughed, "I can write down some details about the Parents’ Meeting members now, it’s all in my head."

The Duke of Storm City nodded, and said to the Drama Master beside him, "Take him to the Secret Prison, let him write it there."

Zong Cheng didn’t mind, as if he had long known that this puppet was destined to become a prisoner.

The Genetic Warrior on the airship took Zong Cheng into the Secret Prison, but just as they had locked him in, the Drama Master who had been following them suddenly rose up and began killing.

He drew four short spikes from his sleeve, flung them into the air, and four spikes pierced the hearts of the four Genetic Warriors.

The Drama Master walked out: "Do not touch their bodies, drag them out and burn them. Remember, no one is allowed to approach this person’s room. Eating and passing items must be done through robots, do not give him a chance to learn more about the West Continent."

The door of the prison was isolated by glass, and the main structure was made of bright alloy walls, with a soft white light full of technological feel emitting from above.

Zong Cheng asked through the prison, "Are you worried my puppet might start a family in the Roosevelt Kingdom? Then you’ll have to kill a lot of people."

"No need to remind us."

At the same time, a War Robot entered the floating airship, pressed the button to close the cabin, and started the airship’s airtight system.

Right before the bewildered eyes of the airship soldiers, it emitted a white toxic smoke from its chest.

The smoke, mixed with neurotoxins, filled the cabin, killing everyone inside in just five minutes!

It didn’t end there. Soldiers who earlier inspected this floating airship in the military base were also shot dead!

This series of executions was enough to show the Duke of Storm City’s apprehension towards Puppetry Masters.

Because, there had once been a terrifying Puppetry Master in the West Continent, if the Drama Master didn’t have foresight, it’s likely the kingdom would no longer belong to the Roosevelt Family.

In the Secret Prison, a strange smile appeared on Zong Cheng’s face.

A new game had started.

...

...

Return Countdown 12:00:00.

In the Taboo Forest, a soldier was laying down bio-sensing mines, tasked with completing a 230-meter minefield today.

Then, a deer jumped around in the forest, approaching.

The soldier instinctively said, "Don’t come here! This is a minefield!"

But soon, he realized the other party couldn’t hear him, and the parameters of the bio-sensors were specifically tuned for the Giant Race, a deer wouldn’t trigger them.

Yet, the deer ran straight toward the soldier.

The soldier was stunned. He removed his automatic rifle from his back and precisely and efficiently struck the deer on the forehead.

"It’s wild game delivered to my doorstep," the soldier chuckled helplessly.

However, in the next moment, silver liquid suddenly seeped out from the deer’s body.

The soldier curiously approached, using the gun barrel to prod the liquid, but the moment the gun barrel touched it, the liquid came alive, attaching to him along the gun.

The silver liquid seeped into his skin...

Seconds later, the soldier twisted his neck and said, "Finally, I’m human again, hehe."

Zhong Yu, these days, was almost vomiting from eating grass, but he never found an opportunity to control a lone soldier.

Zhong Yu didn’t rush back, instead he laid all the mines according to the soldier’s memory, then hummed a tune as he leisurely walked back.

Back at the military base, he easily took a hot shower, ate a full meal, and then entered his dormitory.

The virtual glasses on the bed caught Zhong Yu’s attention, and he couldn’t wait to put them on...

Last time he turned into a deer to cooperate with the White Light Person’s operation.

Now, having helped out a lot, the other party should be grateful to him.

Moreover, the other party should have seen his capabilities by now, right? Even the Aerial Fortress couldn’t kill him!

Entering the Superconductor World, before he found the White Light Person, he heard bystanders discussing, "The Giant Race attacked Silver City, and even killed the Silver City Duke!"

"Not just that, the Royal Family’s Second Prince, the entire Black Knight regiment, three field legions..."

Hearing this, Zhong Yu’s expression gradually became dazed.

Had he been isolated from the world for too long... no, it’s only been a few days, and the White Light Person caused so much trouble?

While he was still pleased with not being killed, the other party had already killed a Demigod?!

For the first time, Zhong Yu felt ashamed of himself!

He felt a sense of inferiority!

He was unwilling, but he also knew it was something he couldn’t accomplish!

"What should I do?" Zhong Yu panicked, "Should I also go find a Demigod to kill, only then I can continue to compare with him? Otherwise, what if he says I’m not qualified to team up with him?"

But just then, someone suddenly said, "By the way, I heard from the Marquis I serve, this was done by the White Light Person, that White Light Person is Joker from the Eastern Continent, whose real name seems to be Qing Chen. Have you heard of the Sword Immortal who pierced the Aerial Fortress? He’s also from the Eastern Continent and seems to be He Jinqiu."

At this point, Zhong Yu was completely stunned.

Qing Chen, He Jinqiu...

Zhong Yu recalled his interactions with the White Light Person.

"You are now qualified to team up with me."

"When I establish a nation, you can be a Duke."

He didn’t change his appearance, so it’s impossible for the other person not to recognize him.

So, Qing Chen deliberately provoked him, deliberately took a superior stance to make him help with matters.

And indeed, he helped, and almost got blown up by the Aerial Fortress for it!

He! Actually! Helped Qing Chen!

Unacceptable!

Zhong Yu’s already unstable mental state became even more chaotic and irritable!

The moment he learned of all this, he felt as if Qing Chen stood right in front of him, softly laughing, "Hehe."

Disgusting...

How could there be someone so disgusting in this world?!

But what Zhong Yu couldn’t accept even more was, the things Qing Chen had done were indeed out of his reach. At least, he couldn’t kill a Demigod, nor could he take down a power in the Roosevelt Kingdom.

Before, when he killed a Marquis, he was chased all night long.

"Maybe being a Duke isn’t bad?" Zhong Yu muttered to himself, but his expression instantly turned furious, "Nonsense! Just find a way to kill him!"

Countdown reached zero, Zhong Yu still hadn’t returned.

He was permanently left in the Inner World.

...

...

Countdown 168:00:00.

At midnight, Qing Chen slowly got up... those deep, bone-baring wounds on him still hadn’t healed.

The training base continued to feel so empty.

He walked out of the room, Alice in the living room was still drinking coffee, browsing websites on her laptop. She looked up at Qing Chen, "You don’t look well."

Qing Chen smiled, "It’s okay, I need to leave for a few days. Please tell Coach Soleis he can take a good rest for four days."

"Where are you going?" Alice asked.

Qing Chen thought for a moment, "To an island turned from a whale to attend a funeral."

"Sorry, is it a friend’s funeral?" Alice inquired.

"Mm," Qing Chen nodded with a smile, "We’ve known each other for a long time, but really became friends only in the past few days."

"Why is that?"

"Because I had a lot of misunderstandings about him before."

Alice curiously asked, "What kind of person is he?"

Qing Chen thought for a long time and smilingly replied, "He’s someone very skilled with a sword."

Just then, the sound of a car engine came from outside the training base. Qing Chen walked out, and Alice followed him.

Over a dozen black cars stopped at the entrance, someone opened the rear car door for Qing Chen, and he got in.

The convoy came quickly and left just as quickly.

This convoy... was clearly waiting at the foot of the mountain all along, solely to ensure Qing Chen’s safety.

Alice stood on the cold Alps Mountain, arms crossed, quietly watching the convoy drive into the night, as if driving into the deep sea.
