A self-inflicted injury ruse!

The word flashed through west Zhao's mind.

"What? You don't want to?"

King Kai leaned down, his crimson mechanical eyes fixed on west Zhao.

People have to bow their heads under the roof.

west Zhao took a deep breath, suppressing the surging emotions in his heart, lowered his eyes slightly, and replied:

"Yes, King Kai!"

-

Eight-day publication, office.

The editor-in-chief slammed a thick stack of documents onto Xiao Song's desk.

"Xiao Song, go follow a lead and dig into the Little Duck Textile Enterprise Group."

Xiao Song adjusted his glasses and opened the file: "Lin Jianmin?"

……

the other side.

Little Duck Textile Enterprise Group.

Lin Jianmin, dressed in a suit and tie, pushed open the door to his office, but suddenly froze.

On the desk, a resignation letter was prominently displayed in the center.

"What does this mean?"

He devoted almost all of his youth to this company, only to be met with this outcome.

Lin Jianming was furious. Holding his resignation letter, he strode toward the chairman's office.

Just as he was about to knock on the door, Lin Jianmin's ears twitched suddenly.

His extraordinary hearing, which he developed from a young age, allowed him to clearly hear the hushed conversation inside the thick wooden door.

"Don't worry, Lao Wang, everything's taken care of! That kid Lin Jianmin is too serious; he almost traced it back to me."

"We have no choice but to let him go."

Lin Jianmin knew very well who was speaking from inside the door.

That's the chairman of their Little Duck Textile Enterprise Group!

Lin Jianmin's hand, which was suspended in mid-air, froze instantly.

A chill instantly spread throughout my body.

He devoted himself to the company and risked offending people by exposing corruption.

Originally intended to eliminate corrupt elements within the group, the biggest corrupt element turned out to be the chairman himself!

"So... I was the ridiculous fool."

Lin Jianmin gave a bitter smile and helplessly withdrew his hand.

He crumpled the resignation letter into a ball and threw it into the trash can, leaving without even packing his things, and turned away dejectedly.

……

The sky had darkened at some point, and the heavy, gray clouds made it hard to breathe.

Lin Jianmin walked aimlessly down the street, the phone call he had overheard replaying in his mind.

Just then, Lin Jianmin's ears twitched.

He heard heavy footsteps and a low growl that didn't sound like a human voice coming from not far away.

Looking up, he saw a strange beast with a dark black body tinged with blue and four scarlet compound eyes on its face walking towards him.

Lin Jianmin quickly turned and ran.

The jellyfish-like creature also spotted Lin Jianmin at the same time, bent its legs slightly, and then leaped up.

The enormous, scythe-shaped claws slashed towards Lin Jianmin's back.

"Be careful!"

In the critical moment, a figure in a white coat tackled Lin Jianmin from the side, knocking him to the ground and saving him from the attack.

It was west Zhao!

"Hurry up!"

west Zhao shouted loudly.

"Th-thank you..."

Lin Jianmin thanked him and then ran away.

Seeing its target escape, the jellyfish-like creature swung its tentacles and struck west Zhao.

Upon seeing this, west Zhao immediately took out the gold crystal.

"Snow Mastiff Armor, Combine!"

A set of heavy, silver-white armor instantly completed its transformation.

west Zhao steadied himself, crossed his arms, and withstood the blow.

Numerous sparks flew across the heavy silver arm armor.

According to the Realm King's plan, west Zhao needs to pretend to be defeated, and then naturally be seriously injured to attract the other armored warriors.

But just as west Zhao was about to release the water, the jellyfish beast in front of him suddenly spewed out countless plumes of black smoke.

Suddenly, everything around us turned pitch black.

Enveloped in thick black smoke, west Zhao had no way of discerning his direction.

In the blink of an eye, he was hit several times.

"Well, this time I'm defeated even without pretending!"

west Zhao gave a bitter smile to himself.

-

Meanwhile, in the ERP research lab.

The urgent alarm kept ringing. Meizhen suddenly looked up and her fingers flew across the keyboard.

"There's a new surge of unusual energy, located along Yanhe East Road!"

"Okay, I'll be right there!"

Nan Yan responded and entered the teleportation room with Dong Shan and Bei Miao.

Swish!

Three beams of light lit up.

East River Road.

When Nan Yan and the other two arrived, they saw west Zhao fighting with the jellyfish beast.

And they were still at a disadvantage.

Dongshan quickly combined his armor and summoned the Wind Eagle Sword to block the jellyfish beast's attack.

"We meet again, but you don't look too good this time!"

Upon seeing that Dongshan and the others had finally arrived, Xizhao immediately retreated from the battlefield and then deactivated his transformation.

A trickle of blood flowed down the corner of his mouth.

"Enough with the nonsense, let's finish this quickly!" Bei Miao impatiently summoned his Meteor Spear and charged directly into the battlefield.

"Are you alright?"

Seeing Bei Miao and Dong Shan working together to suppress the jellyfish beast.

Nan Yan didn't step forward, but instead turned and walked towards west Zhao.

He was very curious about how the plot was developing and how west Zhao had ended up fighting the jellyfish beast.

Aren't they in cahoots?

Has west Zhao already turned against King Jie?

"I……"

west Zhao didn't know how to explain, so he simply spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted.

"Um?"

Nan Yan stared at west Zhao with a strange expression.

Although west Zhao's injuries were indeed very serious, with two ribs broken.

Although west Zhao's injuries were indeed very serious, with two ribs broken.

However, in his perception, west Zhao's consciousness was very clear.

So he's faking fainting?

After all, Xizhao has withstood 36000 volts of voltage, so what is this little injury?

Judging from the situation, west Zhao did not join them voluntarily this time.

That was King Kai's conspiracy!

Is the goal the Light and Shadow Stone?

King Kai never expected that his meticulously designed plan would go wrong right from the start.

However, Nan Yan did not intend to expose west Zhao.

King Jie went to so much trouble to send west Zhao over. If he doesn't turn Xi Zhao over, when will he?

The Realm King wants their Light and Shadow Stone, and Nan Yan also wants west Zhao and the Golden Shadow Stone in the Realm King's possession!

We need to think of a way to trick Jin Yingshi into giving us the stone first.

Just as Nan Yan was pondering a solution, the battle on the other side came to an end.

Bei Miao secured the kill on the jellyfish beast with a single [Raging Waterfall Top] attack.

The magic scroll of the jellyfish beast has been sealed, and the card of the 9 of Clubs - the Squid Undead Creature has been put away.

"Mijin, teleport us back!"

"Also, prepare a medical room. The summoner of the Snow Wolf Armor has fainted; his injuries are severe!"

Nan Yan contacted Mei Zhen.

……

ERP research room.

west Zhao closed his eyes, sensing the changes in his surroundings, and realized that he had successfully entered the other party's interior.

This means that King Kai's plan is half successful.

His mood became heavy.

At that moment, west Zhao suddenly heard a familiar voice.

"Let me see who summoned the Snow Mastiff Armor?"

However, it was another patient in the medical room—Kunzhong—who curiously came over.

west Zhao, no longer able to pretend to be unconscious, suddenly opened his eyes.

next second.

west Zhao and Kun Zhong, who had come closer, locked eyes.

"Kunzhong!"

"west Zhao, it's you!"
