Chapter 241 Bet
"I'm sorry, father. It's all I can do."
Dubra's tone was so calm that Afrit even began to doubt whether the guy in front of him was his own child.
However, as his own offspring, he could not detect any problems with Dubra's aura.
"What did you do to my child?"
Afrit looked at the stars and the sky behind Dubra with a bad tone.
"Hehe, Dubra is already a slave of our Star Train. I advise you to surrender and hand over the Phase Spirit Fire!"
Qiong said with a bit of arrogance, pointing at Afrit.
Slaves of the Skytrain...
Xing couldn't help but feel embarrassed. It sounded so weird.
"What!?"
Afrit was shocked when he heard the word slave.
As a member of the fire demon clan, he is immune to most physical damages and his mental strength is also very strong. Unless the rememberers of Liuguang Memory Court get involved, how could Dubra be enslaved so easily?
"I advise you to release Dubra, otherwise the anger of the Annihilation Gang will burn you to ashes."
Hearing Afrit's words, Xing smiled. He was still angry. He was about to die.
"Afrit, I advise you to surrender honestly and surrender. If you keep jumping around, you will die."
Xing saw that Afrit dared to threaten him and said with some disdain.
"Then wait and see. When the fire of wrath burns you, your cries and wails will play a hymn of destruction for me."
Although he made these harsh words, Afrit disappeared from the spot the next second.
"Huh? Where are the others?"
Qiong was confused. She thought this guy was going to fight her, but he just ran away like that?
"Father has taken over the Phase Spirit Fire. The characteristic of the Phase Spirit Fire is that it can travel through different dimensions, so father should have sneaked into other dimensions and escaped at this moment."
Dubra explained to Qiong.
"Other dimensions? Then we can't catch him?"
Qiong looked depressed when he heard this.
"No, he can't escape the station."
Just as Qiong was feeling distressed, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind him.
When I turned around, it was Latio.
"Mr. Latio, why are you here?"
“Two and a half system hours ago, a puppet in the Black Tower was attacked for unknown reasons and has been missing. Even the signal cannot be located.
As a collaborator in the simulated universe project, this is a huge waste of my time. So when I heard the news, the first person I thought of was the last person I saw in the Black Tower, you two. "
Latio looked at the two of them, then at Dubra floating in front of him.
"To my surprise, you guys are much faster than I expected."
“When did you start listening?”
Xing asked Latio.
"Since you were searching all the way, I was going to ask you two at first."
"So you followed us all the way?"
Qiong was a little surprised that she hadn't noticed it at all.
However, Xing was not surprised. After all, this guy even saw Ruan Mei secretly creating the Star-Breaking King Bug, but even Black Tower didn't know about that.
"To be precise, it is to observe the logic of your behavior."
"Oh? So what do you think of the logic of our behavior?"
Qiong asked curiously.
"0 points. You alerted that guy without any means to contain the phase fire, and in the end, you even let him escape."
Latio shook his head, his tone a little speechless.
Qiong rolled his eyes when he heard that. He thought Dubra could solve the phase spiritual fire, but it turned out that the person in the phase spiritual fire was Dubra's father.
"But in terms of efficiency, I can give it 10 points."
"Oh?"
When she heard that it was only 10 points, Qiong rolled her eyes immediately.
"That guy probably hasn't gotten far. He can't escape the station in his current state. We just need to follow him."
Latio didn't care about Qiong's attitude, looked at the place where Afrit disappeared and said.
"You, continue to lead the way."
Latio pointed at Dubra floating in the air and ordered.
"Well..."
Dubra was extremely unhappy at the moment. Forget about these two people, but what dare you to order me around?
A mere scholar of a learned society...
But Dubra suddenly thought of the Knowledge Society, the Genius Club, the Immortal Boat Alliance, and even Lord Huanlong...
Dubra was shocked. When did the network of relationships among these unknown guests become so wide?
Even the Messenger of Destruction was dragged into it. These guys must have some huge plan.
Dubra felt a chill down his spine. Even before that, even when Ruan Mei gave the two of them the anti-vomiting drug, Xingdu seemed to act as if he had known about it for a long time.
Thinking of what Xing had just said to his father, Dubra felt scared.
I'm afraid that these seemingly casual words are actually true.
Thinking of this, Dubra hurriedly searched for the trace of the Phase Spirit Fire.
"Come to think of it, aren't there a lot of Black Tower dolls? How come they are all missing?"
On the way, Qiong asked somewhat puzzledly.
Is it worth going to such great lengths to find a doll? I have another one in my car.
"The Black Tower doesn't care about this. The Black Tower asked you to find the Phase Spirit Fire, but you mysteriously disappeared after issuing the mission. At the same time, someone spread the news about spontaneous human combustion and guided the dissatisfaction with the management, which triggered public opinion on the space station. I am just curious about the strangeness."
Latio explained calmly.
"Ah? How come I don't know anything?"
Qiong couldn't help but scratch his head. Is the space station so messy?
"Perhaps you were busy selling Ruan Mei's creations at the time and didn't notice that the message on your phone had exploded."
After hearing what Latio said, Qiong opened her phone and saw that she had several more messages.
One is the customer base for selling cat cakes, and the other is the anonymous group chat and the black tower group that were often seen before. The people here are outspoken.
When I opened it, I saw that it was indeed a lot of dissatisfaction with the top management and the Black Tower, as well as people trying to squeeze Estelle.
There are also reports of missing Black Tower dolls and an anonymous video.
The voice in the video was exactly that of the Underworld Duke Afrit whom we just met.
"Good fellow, he acted so arrogant and cool but ran away as soon as he saw me. How boring."
Qiong put away his phone, feeling very disgusted with Afrit's behavior of selling dog meat under the guise of selling mutton.
"He is just a ball of Hellfire. His real body is not in the space station and poses no threat. But I didn't expect that you have the offspring of the Duke of Hellfire and used this as a clue. It saves a lot of trouble."
Latio nodded approvingly.
"Aren't you curious about where we got it?"
Qiong couldn't help but ask.
"Haven't you already given the answer to the question? How else could it be as a slave?"
Latio looked at Qiong as if he was a fool.
Qiong is unhappy.
Several times in a row, Afrit was caught when he was adjusting his state and looking for a breakthrough, and he suddenly became a little anxious.
"Ignorant fools blindly chase the light of fire, unaware that the gift of destruction has already fallen at their feet."
"No wonder the benefactor's army failed to purify this place even when it came in person. At this point, I will admit my recklessness for the time being."
"But next time, I will visit you personally and use the fire of hell to mourn your sins."
Seeing that he couldn't escape, Afrit threatened the three men.
"Don't worry, Dubra, my child. I will save you from the hands of fools and let you bring destruction upon them yourself."
Afrit did not forget to comfort Dubra, and then his own flame turned into a wisp of green smoke and disappeared.
"Oh? The faint consciousness that resided in it disappeared. Did the Underworld Lord just abandon this flame and leave?"
Watching the flames of the Duke of Hellfire disappear, Latio said lightly.
Qiong wanted to step forward and grab the Phase Spirit Fire, but suddenly felt his hand being pulled.
"Ok?"
Qiong's face turned slightly red. Why did he suddenly hold her hand at this time?
But he didn't think too much about it. He let Xing lead him and stretched out his other hand to touch the phase spirit fire.
"No...wait."
Latio suddenly felt something was wrong, and just as he spoke up, he saw the flames had already flowed along Qiong's arm and ignited half of his body.
"what!"
Qiong panicked when he saw this and shook his hands desperately.
"Don't be afraid."
Xing said soothingly, then reached out and grabbed Qiong's arm.
"Since you don't want to give up, then stay."
Xing said lightly, and then the flame went out instantly, and the phase spirit fire condensed into a ball again and slowly floated in front of the two.
And there was a different kind of flame in Xing's hand.
"Father!"
Dubra was shocked. He was doomed. Even his father was caught.
Latio put his hand down again after raising it. It turned out that he had been planning to lure the Duke of Hellfire from the very beginning, and then use that power to capture him.
"Asshole, what did you do!?"
Afrit felt a rare sense of panic when he felt his own condition.
"Same thing as your boy Dubra."
Xing sneered and stared at Afrit.
"What do you want? This is just a wisp of my nether flame. If you dare to extinguish it, the nether flame of revenge will burn you to ashes."
"Destroy? No, you think too much. On the contrary, I am saving you."
Xing snorted and said lightly.
"Save? What do you mean?"
Afrit was confused for a moment.
"Come on, Afrit, make me a bet. Of course, you can't refuse it."
"Tell me, what's the bet?"
At this moment, Afrit also realized that his wisp of Hellfire could not escape, and asked in a deep voice.
"I bet you are about to die, and this ray of Hellfire in my hand is your last straw."
"You are so arrogant. I am the Duke of Hellfire in the Yonghuo Mansion. Who dares to kill me?"
Afrit snorted coldly, showing great disdain for the words.
"So this is a bet, isn't it? You can continue to do what you should do, and when the result of the bet comes out, I will naturally fulfill the bet."
Xing was not surprised by Afrit's reaction. After all, no one would believe it if they heard someone say they were going to die.
"So, what's the stakes?"
"Please present the tickets to the star of the event, Pinocchio, with both hands."
