Lu Gui’s disappearance at this time was definitely not good news.

“No news is also a kind of good news.”

Mu Chen glanced out the window of Lu Xiaoyao's house. Ever since witnessing Lu Gui and Zhen Hu being attacked that night, Lu Xiaoyao and the others were taken to the security station and stayed there for a night. After coming out, they found a new residence and changed houses.

This house was a bit bigger than before, and the observation of the surrounding area was clearer.

Even when Mu Chen said this rather convoluted sentence, he came to this conclusion after observing the outside.

"Yeah, if there's news, it's probably bad news." Mingmei also said this as if she had learned something bad. Lu Xiaoyao, who was already worried about Lu Gui's safety, couldn't sit still: "Then is it a good thing or a bad thing?"

"Don't you understand? Since Lu Gui is working under Haike, there are risks. If something really happens to him, like being exposed, then it's not as simple as being missing.

Maybe Haike will send someone to arrest those of us who often contact Lu Gui. If there's no news at this time, maybe it means he received some tricky news, understand?"

Jian Yunhe didn't like Lu Xiaoyao. She didn't understand why, even though they both came from the Lu family, with their father dying early and their mother being insane, the older brother could be so mature while raising his younger sister like this.

If she were Lu Xiaoyao, she would definitely not be like this now.

Whether it was envy or disgust, Jian Yunhe's complex emotional fluctuations caused Mu Chen to look at Jian Yunhe several times.

The Jian family of the Empire.

These few words flashed through Mu Chen's mind, and he didn't say anything more.

He turned to look at Mingmei, and remembered the scene when he accompanied Mingmei, Mei Qiuhu, and Hu Mingli for dinner, where the two young generals complained about Jian Yunhe's grandfather.

Rigid, old-fashioned, and an extremely stingy miser of the Empire!

But looking at Jian Yunhe's bold "expression of love" for Lu Gui, Mu Chen always felt that the Jian family was not as rumored.

"What are you thinking about?" Noticing that Mu Chen was distracted, and the atmosphere at the scene was not right, Mingmei could only remind Mu Chen in a low voice.

"Nothing."

He shook his head, just stopped talking, tapped his fingers lightly on the window sill, looked at the night outside the house, and an unknown emotion flashed in his eyes.

The darkness of the underground city always made them unable to distinguish the passage of time. He didn't know what Feng Li and Youkelian were saying at the moment, and he didn't know whether the two who joined forces in advance this time could give a different ending from reality.

For some reason, Mu Chen thought of *Blood War Dawn*, a game that changed the ending of individual characters, but could not change the final ending of the story, making everyone tearful.

Will this game be like this this time?

…

At the same time, Lu Gui, who a group of people were worried about, was also very uneasy at the moment.

The room was filled with a strong smell of blood. Several corpses were lying on the ground. Yesterday they were still talking and laughing together, but in a blink of an eye, they were completely out of breath.

"Who else disagrees?!"

Haike sat on the special chair in the innermost part of the room. Seven or eight octopus tentacles were on his lower body, still stained with undried blood, and were still twisting and wriggling restlessly, forming a sharp contrast with his unwavering upper body.

"Boss, we don't disagree."

Lu Gui glanced at a trembling man beside him and opened his mouth hesitantly. His eyes flickered and he didn't dare to look at Haike. He just lowered his head and said with a trembling voice: "It's not that everyone can't bear to part with those human races, nor is it that we dare not follow you, boss, to earn a greater achievement, but, but who knows if those insect races who are looking for you are harboring evil intentions, and want us to be their pawns, to test and die for them?"

When the man mentioned the few insect races who could transform into human forms who had secretly chatted with Haike some time ago, a trace of fear flashed in his eyes.

The insect race was originally unwelcome by other races in the universe. Seeing the insect race turning into humans to come here and conspire with them, who knew if they could turn into other races?

These insect races are really too scary!

"Boss, even if this place is not good, we, we can't just believe what those insects say."

What the man said did not anger Haike, but Lu Gui stood there, lowered his head and narrowed his eyes, looking at the constantly wriggling octopus tentacles, he understood that Haike was really upset.

"Otherwise! If you don't believe in the insect race, what do you believe in?!"

With a snap, the floor under Haike cracked in response. Seeing the shattered floor, the man who had just persuaded him shivered and closed his mouth.

Lu Gui looked at the big man, but his courage was as if he had been frightened, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Haike was so powerful that even a group of people who were scolded as violent maniacs and fighting lunatics outside did not dare to resist Haike at this moment.

"Feng Li, that dead woman, is relying on having merman blood to recruit a bunch of lunatics, and is also monitoring through the dark web; Youkelian, that coward, what else does he have besides that good face that has bewitched a wife? Isn't it just that he can make some mental soothing potions, letting such a group of spineless guys surround him!"

As he spoke, Haike's voice became louder and louder. Lu Gui looked up at the bloodshot eyes of the other party, and it seemed that the whole person's mental state was very wrong.

"Isn't it just a mental soothing potion? What can't you buy with money? If not, we can directly arrest the doctors and nurses in the hospital, who wouldn't know how to do it?!"

"That's right——!"

Lu Gui heard some keywords in these words, "mental soothing". Lu Gui looked uncertainly at the crowd around him who had been incited by Haike's words. Each of them was determined to follow Haike, and the eyes of the few who were shouting the most enthusiastically were also faintly glowing red.

And among these people, mixed-race accounted for a large part.

Lu Gui had naturally heard of mental soothing, but this was generally aimed at some soldiers in the army who returned for recuperation after performing long-term missions abroad.

Because the long-term tense spirit and the high-pressure environment during the execution of the mission will keep the soldier's mental power in a highly active state, so that this state is out of control after the end of the mission and cannot be released by legitimate means, so it needs to be soothed.

Thinking about the environment of the Outer Star Sea, Lu Gui could understand their need for mental soothing.

However, Lu Gui had more speculation about these mixed-races. Is there a possibility that these mixed-races who need mental soothing are born with problems?

"Boss, what should we do next?"

The atmosphere in the room was obviously pushed to a climax. A group of people looked like they were about to do something. Lu Gui tried his best to control the expression on his face so that it did not change, but the hand hidden under his sleeve could not help but clench slightly.

"Wait for the insect race to act, and we will take the opportunity to go out." As Haike said, a smile of determination appeared on his face, and some people beside him who were frightened and did not dare to say a word were now excited again, asking when they could take the opportunity to go out.

"According to the interstellar calendar, one day later, no, to be precise, there are still a few hours."

These words made some people around him impatient. Each of them was whispering about what to do this time, only Lu Gui widened his eyes as much as possible as if he had been greatly frightened.

The time seems to be ahead of the reality outside the game!
