The Devoted Second Male Lead Decided to Favor Someone Else - Chapter 149

Lu Shijin and Xiang Ting touched the entrance of the basement while it was dark. They also thought that Mr. Gu would definitely set up a mechanism at the entrance to prevent people from entering. Sure enough, they were blocked by a locked iron door.

There is an iron lock on the iron door, which cannot be opened without a key. If the lock is forcibly broken, too much movement will attract the attention of the guards.

“Can you unlock?” Lu Shijin asked Xiang Ting.

Xiang Ting: “…No.”

Lu Shijin looked at him with a strange look: “You who study physics can’t open locks?”

Xiang Ting was inexplicable, “Why do you need to be able to open a lock when you study physics?”

“Isn’t there a saying, ‘If you learn physics well, you won’t be afraid to travel all over the world’?” Lu Shijin, a scumbag, plausibly said, “It can be seen that when it really needs to be used, mathematics, physics and chemistry are useless. Alas, today’s college students can even open a lock. No, I don’t know why I’m studying.”

Xiang Ting: “…” I feel offended.

Xiang Ting asked back, “Then you will?”

“Of course.” Lu Shijin was full of confidence. He pulled out an iron wire from nowhere, inserted it into the lock cylinder and stirred it for a while. Suddenly he heard a “click”, and he really opened the lock. Lu Shijin raised his eyebrows and looked smugly. Xiang Ting, “Are you satisfied?”

What else can Xiang Ting say, just one word, “Serve.”

Lu Shijin: “Just take it, go in, be careful, I’m afraid there will be organs inside.”

711’s voice suddenly came out coldly: “Have you heard the story of ‘Fox Fake Tiger Might’?”

Lu Shijin giggled and said: “Oh, you are me, I am you, we are one, don’t tell the difference. When this mission is over, I will remember your great work!”

711 sighed faintly: “When this mission is over, I don’t know if we will meet again.”

Lu Shijin heard something in his words and asked alertly, “What did you say?”

711 realized the slip of the tongue, and immediately denied it: “No, nothing, hurry in and don’t let anyone find out.”

Although 711 refused to tell him clearly, Lu Shijin had a hunch in his heart.

This world is already his tenth mission. Listening to what the convenience store said just now, could it be that this is his last world?

If everything is really coming to an end, is it that as long as the tasks in this world are completed, the “lord god” in the mouth of the convenience store can really satisfy one of his wishes?

When Lu Shijin thought of this possibility, his heartbeat accelerated uncontrollably. Is it finally over?

He has been in another world for too long, traveled through ten worlds, and spent ten different lives in ten worlds, like ten long lifetimes, but he still hasn’t forgotten his original intention when he first accepted the mission ——

He wants to go back to the real world, because there, he still has his biggest wish unfulfilled.

After crossing ten times, although each world looks like the real world, Lu Shijin has never felt a sense of belonging here. Even if he finds true love here, his original intention has never changed.

Lu Shijin has always had a voice in his heart reminding him that everything is fake and that he can’t indulge in nostalgia, including the man beside him, except that his soul is real, everything else is fake.

He could be Huo Lian, it could be Pei Yin, it could be Li Chong, it could be Zhou Xueyuan… Now it’s Xiang Ting, but apart from the roles in these plays, who could he be?

how does he look like? how old? What does he do?

Lu Shijin didn’t know everything, but what he knew was that he loved the soul of the man beside him, regardless of his various identities and appearances here.

So they have to go back to reality together, without a disguised identity, a mask of disguise, and re-acquainted with each other with a true face and a sincere heart.

It’s good that his name is Lu Shijin, but he is who he is, and he is not any character in the play. He hopes that what Xiang Ting loves is not the him he sees now, but the real him.

“What are you thinking about?” Xiang Ting saw that Lu Shijin was a little absent-minded, and he almost stepped on a pit on the ground when he was walking. He couldn’t help reminding him.

Lu Shijin came back to his senses, looked up at Xiang Ting for a while, and smiled suddenly, “It’s nothing, I’m thinking of getting things done here as soon as possible to prevent the night from dreaming too much.”

Xiang Ting didn’t doubt the others and nodded, “Well, let’s go in.”

“Wait a minute,” Lu Shijin stopped him and stretched out a hand towards him. The straight man looked at the hand in confusion, “What’s wrong?”

Lu Shijin said as a matter of course: “Hold hands.”

Xiang Ting, who had never held anyone’s hand except when he was playing games in kindergarten, had never held anyone else’s hand when he grew up so big, he suddenly felt a little embarrassed when he heard Lu Shijin’s sudden request. Think a little awkward.

“I touch you, will you be okay?” Xiang Ting asked softly.

Lu Shijin’s face was a little hot, and he said hesitantly, “Actually…the past few days, through your…that kind of electrotherapy, it seems to have improved a lot, and I won’t feel sore and weak when I touch it again.”

Xiang Ting twitched the corner of his mouth in relief, Lu Shijin saw him smiling ambiguous, his face could not hang, he shook his hand, “Are you holding on?”

“Uh…” Xiang Ting hesitated for a while before showing his hand. Lu Shijin got impatient, took a step forward and took his hand and held it tightly.

“What’s the matter, you’re still shy?” Lu Shijin said in a displeased tone, “Does holding hands with me make you feel uncomfortable?”

“No,” Xiang Ting resolutely denied it, afraid that Lu Shijin would not believe it, and emphasized it again, “Really not.”

Not only was it not uncomfortable, but it was very, very comfortable.

The fingers are connected to the heart, the palms of the two are close to each other, and the temperature of the palms is transmitted to each other.

Xiang Ting once expressed disdain for the couples who had to hold hands when they walked in school. He thought it was naive and exaggerated, but when it happened to him, he realized that holding hands was such a beautiful thing. .

“Let’s trust you,” Lu Shijin shook the hands they held together, “If you hold them together like this, you won’t get lost. Even in the dark, I can know that you are by my side.”

Xiang Ting squeezed Lu Shijin’s hand slightly and said in a low voice, “I will always be by your side.”

Lu Shi chuckled with satisfaction, “Okay, let’s go.”

The two headed into the basement. There was a long passage in front of them, and the head could not be seen at a glance. Fortunately, there were dim lights on both sides of the passage, so that they could not see anything clearly.

Not knowing what was at the end of the passage, the two of them were uneasy, and the faint green lights on both sides were a bit infiltrating, making the atmosphere extraordinarily eerie.

Damn, it’s like shooting a horror movie. Fortunately, this is an apocalyptic dungeon. There are only zombies and no ghosts.

Bah, bah, crow’s mouth, Lu Shijin scolded himself in his heart not to be poisonous, if he really encountered a zombie in front of him, he couldn’t cry, and the zombies would be terrifying, okay?

Finally, they were about to reach the end of the passage, and at the end was another sideways passage. The two hesitated, not knowing whether to go left or right.

Xiang Ting: “Do you want to act separately?”

Lu Shijin grabbed his hand and shook his head sharply, “No!”

Xiang Ting looked at him as if he was facing a great enemy, and asked jokingly, “Are you afraid?”

“Of course not!” Lu Shijin said sternly, “I haven’t figured out what’s going on here, how can we be separated? What if one person encounters danger? We must advance and retreat together!”

Xiang Ting knew it well and didn’t pierce him, so he smiled helplessly: “Then where do you say you’re going?”

Lu Shijin casually pointed to the left, “Go here first, if you don’t find anything, then come back and go to the right.”

So the two turned left and walked in. After walking for about three or five minutes, they knocked down an iron door. Lu Shijin used his old technique to use iron wire to unlock the lock. In fact, he asked 711 to help him destroy the lock cylinder and open the iron door. door.

The moment the iron door was opened, the situation inside the iron door could be seen at a glance. Both Lu Shijin and Xiang Ting were surprised when they saw the situation inside.

This is a closed room with three huge iron cages, and two people, male and female, are locked in each iron cage.

These people were all unconscious in the cages. Lu Shijin took out a flashlight and took pictures of their faces one by one. In one of the iron cages, there was actually Tang Qin!

No wonder Su Ling said that Tang Qin was sent out on a mission by Gu, but he never came back. It turned out that he was locked in the basement by him!

But why did the surnamed Gu want to close Tang Qin? Who is that woman with Tang Qinguan?

“Tang Qin? Why is he here?” Xiang Ting was a little surprised when he saw his former teammates. He tried to open the cage to rescue Tang Qin, but was stopped by Lu Shijin.

Lu Shijin said calmly: “Don’t rush to save them first, it’s inconvenient to go out with so many people, and the surnamed Gu will be alerted if they are gone. It’s not too late to save them after you figure out what purpose he has for arresting them. .”

Xiang Ting felt that what Lu Shijin said made sense, so he stopped his hand, squatted outside the cage, and tried to call Tang Qin’s name twice, but Tang Qin didn’t respond. I was in a coma because of the medicine.

People can’t wake up, and naturally they can’t figure out the purpose of arresting people with the surname Gu. Lu Shijin suddenly got into trouble.

“What are these people surnamed Gu arresting for?” Lu Shijin frowned, staring at the cages and muttering to himself, “Why is there exactly two people in one cage, what’s the point?”

Just knowing that the surnamed Gu has arrested a few people is not enough to convict him. Judging from the importance Mr. Gu places on these people, it is definitely not as simple as arresting people and locking them up.

Therefore, knowing what the purpose of him arresting these people is is the key to the matter.

This time it was because of the right time and place that they could sneak into Mr. Gu’s basement so smoothly, but it was impossible to use the same move twice. If they couldn’t find any clues this time, it would be difficult to sneak into the base again.

Lu Shijin suddenly remembered that there is another end in the basement. There is no clue here, and there may be discoveries there.

“Let’s go,” the time was urgent, Lu Shijin took the opportunity to pull Xiang Tingchao out, “Go to the other side and have a look.”

But before they could reach the door, the iron door suddenly slammed shut, Xiang Ting immediately went to pull the door, but the door was locked from the outside, and he couldn’t open it no matter what!

“Not good!” Lu Shijin had a bad premonition in his heart, looked at Xiang Ting and shouted, “I’ve been discovered!”

“You two are really capable, and you can actually get in here. I underestimated you.” A sinister voice sounded outside the door, sneering and said, “I originally wanted to let you go, but who knows heaven If there is a way, you don’t go, there is no way to go to hell, so you have to break in, but that’s fine, I’m just worried that there are too few powers of your physique to be found, so don’t blame me for being rude if you bring it to the door yourself. already.”

Who else could this voice be if it wasn’t Mr. Gu?

Lu Shijin was shocked for a while, so they had been discovered long ago? Did the surnamed Gu deliberately invite you into the urn? waiting for them?

Wait, what did the surnamed Gu just say?

“A power user of your physique”!

Gu, he knows it!

Lu Shijin’s brain turned at a high speed, and when he looked back at the three iron cages, a terrible thought came out of his heart, which made him shudder.

“Xiang Ting, I understand, I understand…” Lu Shijin turned pale, grabbed Xiang Ting’s arm and said, “When the surnamed Gu used mind-reading skills on you, he must have discovered our secret, that’s why he They will do everything possible to force us to stay! And these people,” he paused, looking at the pair of people in the cage, a feeling of nausea welling up in his throat, “there should be some of these people with the same physique as me. Ability user, the surnamed Gu should be trying to use them to create a high-level ability user to help him do things!”

Xiang Ting listened to Lu Shijin’s reasoning, his face was ugly, and he blamed himself: “It’s me… It’s because of me, I shouldn’t let him read his mind…”

Lu Shijin was afraid that he would get into the horns, so he supported his shoulder and shook him, “I don’t blame you, you also helped me block. Whether he is reading me or reading you, this secret will be exposed.”

Mr. Gu had been listening to them talking outside, and when Lu Shijin finished speaking, he laughed, “You guys are not too stupid, you figured out what I want to do so quickly. Speaking of which, I really want to thank you, let I found out that there is still a way to upgrade abilities without relying on the crystal core. This is really a pleasant surprise, hahaha! As long as I have all the ability users with this physique in my hands, I will quickly I can become the master of this world! Don’t worry, as long as you listen to me, I will definitely not treat you badly hahaha!”

Lu Shijin sneered: “Let’s go to your Spring and Autumn Dream! You are such a hypocrite, you are such a villain, sooner or later everyone will know your true face!”

Mr. Gu didn’t take Lu Shijin’s ridicule to heart, and said lightly, “I’m dreaming, you’ll know the result soon, you two just stay here for me! Hahahaha!”

His laughter drifted away, and Lu Shijin guessed that he should have left the basement and kicked the iron door angrily to vent his anger.

Originally complacent, the plan went very smoothly, but Gu, who was surnamed Gu, had already discovered that they had sneaked in, waiting for them to throw themselves into the net, really mad at him!

“It’s disgusting, how could such a person exist!” The more Lu Shijin thought about it, the more angry he slapped the iron gate, “I must expose his true face!”

Xiang Ting pulled him back and rubbed his sore hand, “Calm down first, don’t get dizzy, we have to find a way to get out.”

In fact, if he wants to go out, it is difficult for Lu Shijin, after all, he has the golden finger of 711.

But he didn’t want to just let the surnamed Gu go. Mr. Gu already knew how to use his physique to create a high-level ability user.

If it is not stopped, a power user with a physique like him will sooner or later become a plaything among power users, not even prostitutes. They are just commodities, tools used by others, and the value of existence is forced to accept Do it with all kinds of people!

No, he can’t just watch this happen, he absolutely won’t allow what happened to the original owner to happen to him again, or to the same type of person as him!

Lu Shijin figured out what he was going to do, but calmed down and analyzed: “The ability surnamed Gu is a mind-reading technique, which can control people’s minds. There are very few high-level abilities now, if he first cultivates a few high-level abilities The superpower user, control them, then he is almost invincible in this world. It has been nearly six days since we left and came back, and now I just don’t know what stage the superpower surnamed Gu has evolved to. If you’ve reached the fifth level, things will get very tricky.”

“And these people,” Xiang Ting pointed to the six people lying in the iron cage, “How far have their abilities evolved? If they are already controlled by Mr. Gu, it will also be a hindrance to us. Shall we…”

Xiang Ting didn’t continue to say the rest, but Lu Shijin understood what he meant, and Xiang Ting wanted to say whether it was better to strike first and get rid of these power users who might have been helpers surnamed Gu.

But there is Tang Qin among these people, can Xiang Ting be able to do it?

Lu Shijin feels that the current Xiang Ting is different from the Xiang Ting he just met. He has changed unknowingly. He is no longer indecisive, but has become decisive and more capable of being a strong man. .

Only such a person can become the savior of the world.

In troubled times, the heart of the Holy Father cannot influence the common people. Only by killing to stop killing and using violence to control violence can all the turmoil be quelled.

Lu Shijin was very relieved to see Xiang Ting’s change, but he didn’t want to turn Xiang Ting into an unsympathetic person, presumably in his heart, he didn’t want Tang Qin to die.

Lu Shijin: “It doesn’t matter, even mind reading has a solution. These people are innocent, and they were all taken advantage of by the surname Gu. Let’s find a way to wake these people up and ask them clearly.”

Just now, I didn’t rescue these comatose people because I was afraid that I would scare the snakes. But now that they have been discovered, I don’t have to worry so much, so Lu Shijin secretly asked 711 to put Tang Qin and Tang Qin in a cage first. man woman wake up.

Tang Qin and the woman woke up leisurely. The woman woke up earlier than Tang Qin. When she woke up, she crawled towards the corner of the cage in fear. She shrank into a ball and shivered. When Tang Qin moved a little, she screamed in fear. stimuli.

“Don’t be afraid, we are the ones who came to save you, not the bad guys. Can you tell us what Mr. Gu did to you?” Lu Shijin softly comforted the woman and motioned to Xiang Ting to wake Tang Qin quickly and ask Tang Qin to leave Women stay away, don’t frighten people, and ask questions later to no avail.

The woman hugged her knees and buried her head in her knees. No matter what Lu Shijin said, she would only shake her head, resisting strangers very much.

Forget it, I can’t ask why from a woman, so it seems that I can only ask Tang Qin.

Tang Qin had already sat up. Unlike the woman’s violent reaction, his expression was a little dull, as if he had been hit hard.

Lu Shijin was afraid that Tang Qin would also be stimulated and go crazy, so he whispered beside Tang Qin in a warm voice: “Tang Qin, are you okay? It’s us, Lu Shijin and Xiang Ting.”

Xiang Ting also said, “Tang Qin, how are you?”

Perhaps hearing Xiang Ting’s familiar voice, the dumb Tang Qin finally reacted and slowly raised his head to look at Ting. After recognizing that it was Xiang Ting, his frozen expression finally changed.

“Brother Xiang!” Tang Qin crawled towards Ting with his hands and feet on the ground, grabbed his hands on the railing of the iron cage, and said excitedly, “Brother Xiang, why did you come in too?”

Xiang Ting said succinctly: “After we left, we found that Mr. Gu sent someone to follow us and wanted to do something undercover, so we just came back to see what he was trying to do, and then we went all the way in here, how about you, why are you? Will he be locked here?”

“He wants to kill you?” Tang Qin shook his head and laughed at himself, “I’m so stupid, I’m so **** stupid! I actually believe that he is a good man! Brother Xiang, you are right, I should go with you, Mr. Gu is a devil , he is a complete devil! Within two days after you left, he let the people in the base go around to arrest people, and suddenly one day tricked me into here again, and then let me, let me…”

Tang Qin was hard to say, but Lu Shijin and Xiang Ting knew what he wanted to say.

“He caught people with special physiques who could help them upgrade their abilities, right?” Lu Shijin asked.

Tang Qin was surprised: “How do you know?”

Lu Shijin: “You don’t need to worry about how I know, you just answer yes or no.”

Tang Qin lowered his eyes and nodded stiffly, “Yes.”

Lu Shijin: “How many people did he find?”

Tang Qin: “All three are here.”

Lu Shijin: “Are you sure?”

Tang Qin: “Yes, because I went with them to catch them. In the end, Mr. Gu left these three people, as well as me… and the other two abilities.”

Lu Shijin guessed that the surnamed Gu should have selected a young and strong ability person like Tang Qin to train. These are only the first three people. In the future, if the surnamed Gu can find more special abilities , he can completely control a high-level power user army to serve him!

How terrible that would be!

“Tang Qin, have your abilities… been upgraded?” Lu Shijin tried to be euphemistic, but didn’t ask too straightforwardly.

If Tang Qin’s ability has been upgraded, it will prove… that he should have had a relationship with the woman in the corner, and more than once.

If this is the case, Tang Qin has betrayed Su Ling…

Tang Qin buried his head in the palm of his hand in pain, and whimpered in his throat. It was self-evident what the answer was.

“Brother Xiang! Brother Lu!” Tang Qin suddenly knelt down towards Lu Shijin and Xiang Ting, and said excitedly, “I beg you, don’t tell Su Ling about this, I beg you, she can’t accept it, she It will collapse! It’s my fault, it’s all my fault, how could I be so stupid, I don’t trust my teammates to trust a stranger from nowhere! Damn me!”

Seeing Tang Qin’s distressed appearance, Lu Shijin thought of Su Ling who was worried about her lover outside. She sympathized with the couple and sighed, “It’s not all your fault, he controlled your mind, I can’t help myself. Tang Qin, the top priority is to deal with Mr. Gu, let me ask you, do you know how far Mr. Gu’s abilities have evolved?”

Tang Qin said in despair, “I don’t know…”

“Didn’t he…” Lu Shijin paused, “Is it the one with the ability users he captured?”

Tang Qin shook his head: “No, he will only give us medicine to force us to evolve abilities, but he has never tried it himself… So his ability level should not change.”

This is strange. Logically speaking, shouldn’t the surnamed Gu catch these ability users with special physiques in a hurry to upgrade their abilities and make themselves stronger?

Why did he only cultivate others but not evolve his own abilities?

Could it be that he is a conservative person who cannot accept having relationships with strangers?

is it possible? Lu Shijin immediately denied the idea.

A person who is greedy for profit like him can’t do anything in order to evolve his own abilities, how can he still have the slightest sense of shame.

Things got confusing again.
