Infinite Hextech, I roam freely across the heavens.

"I'm curious, why did you bring me here to see the genuine article?"

Hearing Meng Li's words, Xu Mingyang was clearly a little taken aback.

The box in front of me is undoubtedly genuine.

The reason for this judgment was simple: Meng Li could vaguely sense an energy aura from the box that was similar to that of the remains of the Lost Ones.

Of course, its aura was very faint, incomparable to that of the remains, but even so, it was enough to surprise Meng Li.

After all, if there is nothing else in this world that can produce this special energy, then it means that Xu Mingyuan's father's research is likely related to the remains of the Lost Ones.

However, he glanced at Xu Mingyang.

The other party was clearly being too cooperative, and Meng Li didn't believe that a high-ranking member of the resistance would compromise so easily.

Of course, with the box right in front of him, Meng Li might be overthinking things.

However, based on Meng Li's intuition, rather than overthinking it, Meng Li believed that the other party's methods had not yet been revealed.

And just then...

He vaguely sensed that something was wrong.

The smell of the surrounding air has changed.

Just as Meng Li noticed this, for some unknown reason, the basement door above Meng Li's head suddenly closed with a click.

The space was plunged into darkness in an instant.

Of course, the darkness could no longer block Meng Li's vision, and looking around, he found that the air around him was filled with a faint green.

Highly poisonous.

Meng Li could feel that these gases were trying to kill the cells in his body after he inhaled them.

Unfortunately, this destructive power is not even comparable to the self-cleaning and self-healing speed of his cells.

But he could withstand it, while Xu Mingyang, who was opposite him and was an ordinary person, could not.

However, his expression showed no fear or regret.

He didn't say another word, and until the very last moment, he stared intently at Meng Li.

As blood flowed from his seven orifices, he slowly collapsed to the ground, already lifeless.

"He's someone important."

Meng Li sighed softly.

He had already realized that although the other party seemed to be very afraid of death on the surface, and even resigned himself to his fate for the sake of his family after being captured by Meng Li, in reality, his outward appearance was just a shell he wore.

His image as a good man, unchanged for decades, made no one doubt his feelings for his wife; even Meng Li was deceived by him.

Now is the time for his persona to come into play.

As for his wife, it wouldn't be entirely true that he doesn't care about her at all, but it's clear that she's not that important to him.

After realizing that he was doomed to die this time.

His purpose in surrendering was to seize an opportunity to make Meng Li die with him.

That's why he went ahead and voluntarily entered the basement, because he never intended to leave alive.

This would also help to lower Meng Li's guard.

Unfortunately, his plan only included the powerful superhuman known as Mighty Man. He might have even considered the possibility that the other party was a super superhuman, but he would never have imagined that the other party would be an absolute superhuman.

With such a huge disparity in strength, this so-called trap becomes a joke.

They didn't notice the gradually increasing concentration of poisonous gas around them.

In a flash, he picked up the box.

And in the very next instant.

Bang bang bang!

Countless flames erupted.

A large number of guns suddenly appeared on the surrounding walls, ready to fire.

666, there's a second level.

Unfortunately, Meng Li had anticipated this.

Xu Mingyang's traps were already something he had used before. The uncertainty of poison was too high, and he had long anticipated that the other party might have another supplementary method.

The hail of bullets in front of them was clearly the enemy's backup plan.

However, even if the entire space was covered, these firearms obviously couldn't put much pressure on Meng Li.

Holding the box.

Accompanied by several crisp sounds.

Within seconds, he had twisted the firing guns into a pretzel.

"Got it!"

He casually disposed of Xu Mingyang's body.

After glancing around the basement, Meng Li picked up the box and turned to leave.

The basement is built very deep.

Back in the room, as soon as the basement door closed, it was as if nothing had happened.

After some consideration, they decided not to destroy the room.

Given Xu Mingyang's cunning, it's likely that no one else besides himself knows about this place.

Given the current situation of martial law in the entire city, if he were to destroy the room, it would seem like he was trying to cover something up.

After thinking for a moment, he decided to leave quietly, maintaining the status quo.

After a while.

"Meng Li, you're back!"

Knowing that Meng Li had something to do, Xu Mingyuan was watching TV in the villa. When she saw Meng Li return, she immediately ran over and jumped into Meng Li's arms, asking affectionately.

"I'm back."

He put down the silver-white box and then gently supported the other person.

Xu Mingyuan glanced at the box but didn't pay it any attention.

This is also why Meng Li is quite satisfied with her.

Face is only one aspect.

Another aspect is personality.

Not only was she not as crazy about punching as some of the fairies of the Blue Ocean Federation, but even before she had skin with Meng Li, she was also very sensible.

Just like Meng Li's strength, she sensed something was amiss, but she pretended not to see it and showed no curiosity whatsoever. The same goes for this box; if Meng Li didn't take the initiative to explain it to her, she would also pretend not to see it.

However, this time, opening this box really requires getting past Xu Mingyuan.

Of course, before that, feeling the warmth of the other party's delicate body, Meng Li did not hold back and directly charged forward with a powerful attack.

The two fought for several hours until Xu Mingyuan collapsed on the bed, exhausted. Only then did he remember his business and bring the box to the other person's face.

Seeing Xu Mingyuan's questioning gaze, her eyes filled with tears, Meng Li handed her the box.

"This is what your father left you."

"Father!"

Suddenly sitting up, Xu Mingyuan's brain was overwhelmed by the information and couldn't process it all at once.

Looking at Meng Li, she subconsciously said:

"Meng Li, you haven't been investigating my father lately, have you? You shouldn't go. My father is probably involved with superpowered people. I'm afraid something will happen to you."

For a moment, Xu Mingyuan didn't pay attention to the box; instead, she immediately grabbed Meng Li's hand and said nervously.

amount.

For the first time, Meng Li wondered if she had been too despicable.

After all, he had already taken advantage of the other party and even wanted to extract the remaining value from them. Even if it was a life-saving favor, wasn't this going too far?

However, he quickly calmed down.

After all, taking food and gifts is a traditional virtue of the people of Hailan.

Xu Mingyuan is his woman, so what's hers is his. That's reasonable, perfectly reasonable.
