The amulet was trying its best to absorb Cheng Yang’s energy. Xiao Ying and Cheng Yang looked at it without moving. Neither of them spoke.

A voice sounded in her mind, “Master.”

Xiao Ying shouted in surprise, “Zihao, is that you?”

Qiao Zihao’s voice was not very stable as he said intermittently, “Master, he’s not dead. There’s danger. You have to be careful.”

After saying this, there was no more sound.

If not for the fact that the amulet in her hand was still emitting a blue glow, Xiao Ying would have thought that she had been hallucinating. From his words, she could guess what he meant. He should be referring to the fake amulet.

Seeing her serious expression, Cheng Yang asked, “What’s wrong?”

Xiao Ying told him about the amulet and he frowned.

Both of them were thinking of ways to subdue the fake amulet. Xiao Ying called Yan Kun, who was still in the research lab, and asked him how far the research had gone.

Yan Kun expressed that there was still no progress.

Xiao Ying immediately said to Cheng Yang, “Brother, let’s go back to Beijing.”

Cheng Yang nodded, and the two of them returned to Beijing overnight. They had come to City A for this amulet. Now that they had it, they naturally had to return.

The two of them returned to Beijing overnight. Xiao Ying went to the laboratory immediately. There was no one left. She quickly checked their recent research records. Indeed, there had been no progress since the last semi-finished product was developed.

Xiao Ying came to the experimental helmet that they had prepared. She looked around and knew where their bottleneck was.

After calculating the steps for the experiment, she seized the moment to begin working. The words that the amulet had said after waking up had made her feel very threatened. If that imposter woke up earlier than Qiao Zihao, they would be in danger.

The next day, Yan Kun brought people to the laboratory. Seeing that Xiao Ying was busy the entire night, he was surprised. Yan Kun greeted her, and she quickly got back to work. “I reorganized the direction of the experiment yesterday. Come and see…”

Xiao Ying handed the documents in her hand to them and carefully briefed them on their upcoming work.

After her explanation, Yan Kun and the others felt like they had suddenly been enlightened. The problems that had puzzled them over the past few days had been solved, and they quickly threw themselves into the experiment.

At night, Cheng Yang came to pick Xiao Ying up. After an entire day and night of experimentation, Xiao Ying looked exhausted, but her eyes were filled with excitement. The results of today’s experiment were very good, proving that their research direction was right.

On the way home with Cheng Yang, he suddenly said, “Ying’er, when this is over, let’s get married.”

Xiao Ying was stunned for a moment, and then she nodded and said, “Alright.”

The two of them looked at each other and smiled under the night sky. Their tacit understanding had long since run out of formalities. Everything was going according to nature.

Cheng Yang carried Xiao Ying on his back, just like when they were young. He wanted to carry her until she became old.

The two of them walked back under the moonlight. Neither of them spoke, but their eyes were filled with hope for the future.

Xiao Ying had been busy in the laboratory every day for the past few days. One afternoon, a voice suddenly appeared in her mind. “Master, long time no see.”

She was surprised at first, but then she asked cautiously, “Why did you suddenly disappear?”

The amulet spoke again. “There was a small problem, but it will not affect us much. It has been resolved.”

Xiao Ying’s heart tightened. This was not Qiao Zihao, but the fake amulet. She had not expected them to be right. The first one who woke up was the fake amulet.

Xiao Ying was not sure what it meant by that. She tried to probe again. “What kind of trouble are you talking about?”

The fake amulet suddenly sneered and said, “Host, you must not do anything that will go against me. Otherwise, the consequences won’t be what you want to see.”

It was still a mechanical voice, but its voice was filled with human emotions. This was the first time Xiao Ying had felt such intense emotions from it. Was it not going to pretend anymore?

Xiao Ying did not know how much it knew, so she could only stay put. “Amulet, what do you mean? Didn’t I do everything according to your instructions? If I did anything wrong, it must be because of your instructions.”

She accused angrily.

When the fake amulet heard her accusation, its tone changed instantly. “Master, you just have to listen to me. Leave the rest to me. You’re doing very well now..”
