Divide and conquer

When Hill was swallowed by a crocodile, her first reaction was to close her eyes and wait for death. But she was unwilling to do so, so she thought she had to struggle no matter what, otherwise she would be embarrassed? So she immediately exclaimed "Ahhhhhhhhhhhh"

She screamed. But she didn't expect to be startled by her own scream, so she shut her mouth in a panic. Only then did she realize why it didn't hurt and why the crocodile didn't bite with its teeth.

Me? Finally, she mustered up the courage and secretly opened her eyes.

She found herself in a strange hall, surrounded by black shadows. Many stone pillars were spread throughout the hall, supporting the roof more than thirty meters high. She noticed that there were clouds of black smoke under her feet, and they slowly

It flows slowly and can be quickly replenished no matter how much it is driven, but it will not be exposed to the ground.

Turning her head to look behind her, Hill was startled. She saw a broken stone throne, occupying a smoke-free area alone. In the throne sat a skeleton monster wearing a gorgeous gem robe. The skeleton was motionless, with a head on its shoulders.

There is an extraordinarily large pink skull, the material of which is very much like jade, or maybe amber. There are black holes in the skull's eye sockets, and you can't see the inside of the skull at all, which feels a bit creepy. Just under the skull throne, there is an empty space full of debris.

On the ground, a white-haired old man wearing a researcher's white coat was lying on his back, holding his chest with trembling hands, and trying to squeeze out two words from his slightly open mouth:

Save me.

Hey, it's the common language, and it seems to be the accent from the capital. Hill bravely stepped forward, looked at the old man's trembling hand, and found the medicine bottle in his coat pocket. The old man seemed to mean "Hello"

After giving him the medicine, Hill took a look at the bottle and found that it was an emergency medicine for cardiovascular disease.

I quickly unscrewed the bottle cap and put a pill under the old man's tongue according to the handwritten instructions on the medicine bottle. I held up his chin and helped him close his mouth. Then he waited for a few seconds. This medicine really worked. Sure enough, after counting ten seconds

Let the old man calm down. His breathing gradually stabilized, and the sweat on his head stopped. When he could regain control of his hands, he quickly took back the medicine bottle, swallowed another pill, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

"What were you talking about just now? You almost scared me to death!" The old man said angrily: "If you hadn't saved me, I would have sued you until you went bankrupt!"

Hill felt aggrieved and dissatisfied with the old man. She thought to herself: I was eaten by a crocodile, can't I scream? Besides, I saved you, and I didn't even say thank you? Looking at the way you are dressed, I probably can't.

Not a good person!

"Help me up." Dr. Bukele stretched out his hand.

Hill hated him even more. It was just because of the habit that her workplace forced her to develop. She "uncontrollably" stretched out her hand and pulled him up from the ground. Alas, she not only hated the old man in front of her, but also began to hate herself. Hill was

I secretly wiped my hands behind my back. On the one hand, I wanted to stay away from the old man, and on the other hand, I walked into the area occupied by the fragments of the throne out of curiosity.

"Ouch! My..." Hill suddenly covered his stomach with both hands, took two steps back in a hurry, and stumbled and dropped one of his shoes.

"What’s wrong with you?"

"Don't worry about me. I'm fine. I suddenly had a stomachache. I've always had this problem." Hill waved her hands and stood up unsteadily. Strangely enough, as soon as she left the debris area, her stomach pain disappeared, as if it didn't exist at all.

It seems like it happened before.

Hill thought of a possibility and asked: "Hey, old... old gentleman, have you always had a heart disease?"

As soon as she asked the question, she wanted to slap herself in the mouth. The old man carried emergency medicine with him, so he must have been ill for a long time. Needless to say, in order not to look stupid, she quickly added: "I think this area will

Relapse of old disease may be a protective mechanism. Are there any influences that can do this?"

"There are many possibilities. Body control types, mental strike types, curse types, and even all-things-reborn shadow followers can do this. But..." Dr. Booker said: "None of them can do this.

It’s fast, and it’s so accurate. If this area can cause serious diseases, little girl, you should go in and try again.”

"Why don't you go!" Hill clenched his fists and stamped his foot.

"I have a myocardial infarction, you just have a stomachache, and the risks here are completely different! Well, I know that in unknown environments, women are not reliable and can only yell and scream."

"Humph!" Hill crossed his arms and took two steps away.

Zhuang Xuteng remained motionless, watching and listening to all this, secretly happy in his heart. He would definitely not regard the two people who suddenly appeared as friends from the very beginning, and he must not relax the necessary vigilance. Seeing that they had conflicts, he lowered their

The possibility of the two joining forces is definitely a good thing.

Seeing that the atmosphere was awkward, and considering that his physical fitness was at a disadvantage after all, the old man asked to lighten the atmosphere. He asked four questions in an attempt to arouse resonance: Who are you? Where is this? How did you get here? What's going on?

?

Not only the old man and the young lady had such questions, Zhuang Xuteng also wanted to know the answers to the four questions. Recalling just now, the bell suddenly stopped and the surroundings suddenly returned to silence. That moment was extremely uncomfortable. At the same time, the pink light

The whirlpool turned into two green clouds. The old man and the young lady emerged from the clouds one after another with an interval of about fifteen seconds.

Zhuang Xuteng didn't understand what happened, but he knew that he couldn't leave the throne, so he decided to stay still and watch what happened.

The old man came out of the green cloud first, sat back on the ground, and threw away a pair of glasses - the posture was like someone suddenly pulling out the chair. Since he was facing the throne, the old man

He saw Zhuang Xuteng at a glance. So he quickly glanced left and right, failing to see another silent group of green mist behind him, and walked straight towards the throne.

Zhuang Xuteng was shocked at that time. He had already grasped the golden scepter in his left hand, ready to give him a stick at any time.

The old man was also quite bold, and while he was walking halfway, he had already extended his hand to Zhuang Xuteng's pink skull head. Just when he stepped into the debris area, the young lady appeared from the green clouds and screamed.

Screaming, the old man immediately clutched his chest and fell down. Most of the credit for his sudden heart attack was probably that scream.

So everything that happened before happened: the old man was saved by the young lady, and the two people despised each other.

In fact, that voice frightened Zhuang Xuteng so much that his body stiffened for a moment. If not, he would probably have reflexively tried to help the old man who fell to the ground instead of coming back to his senses after a shock and taking advantage of the situation.

Watch their words and emotions while they are messing with each other.

The old man wore a white coat that is common among researchers. The trousers underneath were casual shorts that just reached the knees. On his feet were a pair of loose thick-soled cloth shoes. His overall appearance was slovenly, and his clothing style could basically take care of the appearance. What was left of him?

How comfortable is it? This just shows that he is not very restrained and may have quite good authority or authority. Well, he also stuffed the badge in his pocket instead of hanging it around his neck. This just makes his neck comfortable, but it is actually very easy.

Losing your badge is a safety hazard. If an ordinary person did this in an institution, he would definitely be reprimanded frequently, but he obviously didn't care.

Zhuang Xuteng concentrated his eyes and finally read the words on the badge: Director of the Jifa Research Department, Dr. Truss Booker, authority level 2-A. Well, Zhuang Xuteng didn't know what this meant.

Miss Scream looks like a clerical worker in an office. Her clothes are clean, neat and meticulous, but a little tight, as if they are half a size too small. Her name tag reads Hill Lee and a long list of employee numbers.

So only the name is of some use, and the number is meaningless to Zhuang Xuteng. However, when rescuing people, this young lady not only dropped a shoe, but also dropped the folder that was sent with her.

The first page of the folder is a checklist, which reads: Dingxin Magic Peak Research Institute - Warehouse Item Verification Register (Standard A) - June 25 - Warehouse Sequence: First 04A2.

Zhuang Xuteng wrote down this information, and then thought about it while they were arguing with each other. Obviously, these two people did not know how they got here. The surprise, fear, panic and extreme curiosity they showed before were all very real.

Based on his own feelings, Zhuang Xuteng can completely understand their current performance. He believes that the two people will be wary of each other at first, and gradually they will start to cooperate due to the pressure caused by the unknown environment to try to solve the current dilemma.

Since Zhuang Xuteng could not control the behavior of the hall and could not leave the throne, in order to protect himself, he did not want the two people to join forces to deal with him. Seeing that the two people began to become familiar with each other through self-introduction,

Zhuang Xuteng decided to give it a try, seize the opportunity that they did not understand the current situation, and mislead them.

So he moved his head and stepped forward with his right foot. This movement was not big, but it was enough for them to notice.

"It can move! It's alive!" Hill Lee's hair stood on end and he quickly covered his mouth, fearing that he would scream again. "Doctor, what is this?"

"I'm not sure. It could be a lich, a witch priest, a skeleton hag, a necromancer, or even just an electrically controlled skeleton model, or a talking projection..." Dr. Booker shook his head.

, said: "You don't want to get close, how can I guess it! And the most important thing now is not to figure out what this is, but to know where we are!"

"I don't know where we are... No, doctor, it moved just now. Is it very dangerous? Will it kill us?"

"It has the ability to get me here from the research laboratory. If it wants to kill me, it can just throw me into the sea and drown me. I can't swim, and I don't even need to throw me to the bottom of the sea." Dr. Booker frowned slightly.

, said: "I believe it has wisdom, otherwise it would not be able to complete such a fast and accurate transmission. I..."

He didn't finish that sentence, but frowned and glanced at Hill secretly. He didn't know the origin of the pink skull, and he also didn't know the origin of the woman next to him. Judging from her performance, she was making a fuss.

People will probably just hold me back. Even if I figure something out, there is no need to share it with her.

Hill has been guarding against her voyeuristic rogue boss all day long, and has practiced a lot, which makes her very sensitive to other people's peeking eyes! Another old pervert - she obviously misunderstood Dr. Booker's ideas - the old man

Are you thinking of taking advantage now? What means are you going to use? Is it knowledge and insight? Anyway, with those old arms and legs, unless they secretly install a shadow slave, don't even think about touching me!

No matter how hard Zhuang Xuteng tried, they had already differentiated themselves.
