Don't disturb the sorcerer's scientific research

Chapter 124 Jia Xiu is worthy of being targeted

In a dark basement in Serdarion.

John, rubbing his hands nervously.

He had received news that Belial was going to contact him via ember communication.

The direct supervisor is going to check the progress of the work.

It's hard not to be nervous.

It's stressful enough when there's progress at work, let alone when there's no progress.

He already knew how popular Jia Xiu's works were.

There is no way not to know.

A little too famous in the city these days.

Because everyone who wants to watch subsequent episodes has to invite five more people, long queues have already started to form at the exhibition venue.

Since there were not enough visitors to the exhibition originally, people began to contact their relatives and friends.

This led to a surge in visitor traffic to the entire exhibition, far exceeding expectations.

The opening hours have been extended from 8 hours a day to 10 hours.

But what’s interesting is that the surge in traffic did not bring much benefit to other works. Most people spent their time queuing at Jia Xiu’s booth and had no time to look at other works.

All the traffic was sucked up by Jia Xiu.

In fact, the organizers have promised that after the three days of counting the competition results, the game will be fully open to viewing. At that time, there will be no need to queue for so long, and magic devices will be added.

There is no need to invite five people anymore, just watch the whole episode.

But it has not diminished people's enthusiasm to watch it now.

If you want to follow the trend, you should do it when it is hottest. The more crowded it is, the more you should join in.

John felt uncomfortable watching the queue getting longer day by day.

If it was just a failure at work, John could still accept it.

But he himself had gone to see Jia Xiu's Phantom and waited in line for more than two hours. He didn't watch the later episodes, only the first few episodes. He realized that the emotional pressure spell on the base probably did not cause any negative impact, but instead became an assist.

Jia Xiu's Phantom is so popular, and he deserves some credit for it.

Not only did it not hit Jia Xiu, it also helped.

What should I do if he asks me again?

Is it too late to seek refuge with Jia Xiu now? Can Jia Xiu protect him from the King of Lies?
No, why did I start thinking about joining Jia Xiu?
Just when John was anxious, a ball of purple-red flame suddenly rose in the basement.

The flames burned for a few seconds, leaving behind a pool of embers with a few sparks.

John knew it was time to confront his boss.

The embers began to writhe and squirm, gradually forming a face John was very familiar with, the face of Belial, the Lord of Lies.

"My Lord..."

As soon as John opened his mouth, he was interrupted by Belial.

"Where's Jia Xiu's soul? I haven't received it yet. If I remember correctly, there was a lust demon who confidently guaranteed that he would get Jia Xiu's soul. What happened? Could it be that he accidentally lost it during the transmission?"

As the king of lies, Belial is also quite skilled in using sarcasm.

John shuddered at what he heard.

"I, our plan is progressing as planned. It just takes a little more time..."

"Hush...Have you forgotten that I am the king of lies? I can hear all the lies."

"My lord!"

John fell to his knees.

"It's not that we're incompetent, it's simply that Jia Xiu is too evil and cunning. He's foiled every plan we've prepared."

"Oh, how did he crack it?"

John immediately began to cry and tell how Jia Xiu had repeatedly ruined their plans in the first two rounds.

Belial listened to John's deliberately pitiful story in silence, removed the parts that sounded exaggerated, and came to a very accurate and concise conclusion.

"It doesn't sound like Jia Xiu has cracked your plan. It sounds more like your plan was completely useless to him in the first place."

John broke out in a cold sweat. Although he was reluctant to admit it, he could vaguely sense that Belial was right.

Didn’t Jia Xiu even notice the conspiracy he had put so much effort into?

It's so embarrassing.

Belial continued, "If it were a head-on battle, would you be confident that you could defeat Jia Xiu?"

John knew that this meant giving him another chance.

He wanted to answer with a definite "Yes!"

But repeated blows from reality have made him lose his initial confidence.

Who knows what Jia Xiu’s actual combat ability is like.

"Under normal circumstances, yes, I and several other undercover devils can deal with Jia Xiu alone and take him down."

Add a series of adjectives first.

"However," he added, "I'm worried that if we take action here, it will attract the attention of too many experts."

"Don't worry about that. It's settled. You go and forcibly control Jia Xiu and bring him to the wilderness. No need for any schemes or tricks. We'll have plenty of time to reform him once we're there."

John smiled with a hint of relief.

What is the difference between this task arrangement and directly punishing him?

"I'll provide some more support," said Belial.

It seems that he really wants Jia Xiu.

"I'll give you a few teleportation scrolls. They won't reach the wasteland, but they'll be enough for you to take Jashu to a deserted place. Move when we attack Serdarion, on the closing day of the competition. No one will notice you then. After controlling Jashu, teleport away with the main force. Before then, don't act to avoid attracting unnecessary attention. This is your last chance."

John knew exactly what this last chance meant.

If he fails again, he will not face death in this plane, but complete annihilation in the plane of hell.

This is the fate every devil fears most.

Even Asmodeus, the lord of hell who possesses divine power, is no exception.

The more you are with death, the more you fear it.

Perhaps because he was completely distrustful of John's ability to handle matters, Belial thought for a moment and said, "At most, I can give you another Pit Fiend."

The forces sent to invade Serdarion were stretched thin, and Belial could not spare any more devils.

"When catching Jia Xiu, if we can't catch him and try to hold him back, the Hell Demon will take care of him."

John bowed deeply.

With a Hellish Demon of a far higher level than him here, even that incredibly evil Jia Xiu would be unable to escape...

……

At this time, Jia Xiu, who didn't know what kind of "innately evil" enemy he would face, was doing research in the studio.

I can only stay here these days, and there is nothing else to do.

So he naturally continued to interpret the notes that Gillianis lent him and improve his self-built vampire rune "library".

Being locked in a "small dark room" is indeed more efficient.

Jia Xiu completed his first collection of pre-made spell codes in the magic book.

A third-party library that can implement more than ten kinds of unique rune effects of vampire magic.

Although the more than ten types of magic covered are at most the first-ring or less than second-ring level, it is still a phased achievement that makes Jia Xiu excited.

If there are any results, go and gain experience first.

It has become Jia Xiu's muscle memory.

submit.

At least a few hundred experience points would be enough to start with, Jia Xiu thought.

But after a few seconds.

[Not approved]

"Ok?"
