After the archive is damaged, I live in another world

"..."

The only answer he got was silence.

Xu Mu took a quick look and had a guess in his mind.

The red light at the entrance of the cave is clearly a restriction that seals the teleportation magic. All the Demon King's castles have this configuration.

The abandoned Demon King's Palace had lost its ability to seal, and its reappearance now might indicate that—

The ancient demon king sleeping in it has revived.

but why?

Wasn't that pharmaceutical device damaged?

Xu Mu didn't understand and remained silent.

The captain of the guard said, "Mr. Chairman, this place is dangerous. Please leave with Mr. Xu first. We will handle it."

The chairman thought about it and felt that it made sense: "Xu Mu, follow me."

Oh, okay.

No matter if it was the Demon King's revival or some other reason, we couldn't stay in this place anymore.

This is the situation now, huh?

What's the use of Xingsha or not, what's the use of Violet or not, there's no hope anyway.

are you crazy!

Collecting materials right under the nose of the Demon King, Xu Mu didn't dare to be so arrogant when he was playing the game, let alone now?

His face turned serious and he said, "Let's go, Mr. Chairman."

The two returned along the same route under the escort of the guards.

When they arrived at the military camp gate, the chairman said, "Xu Mu, you should go back first. Something seems to have happened in the abandoned Demon King's Palace, and your current abilities are not enough to handle it. Go back and wait for news. Come back when you have nothing else to do."

Very good!

As expected of the chairman, he is very understanding.

A leader like you is a truly good leader.

Nothing more to say, good luck to you.

Xu Mu nodded and said, "That's the only way... Mr. Chairman, I hope everything goes well."

The chairman patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry. With us here, nothing can happen!"

Ah!

it is good!

Without saying a word, Xu Mu returned to the parking lot, found his rented car, got in and started the car.

"Woo——"

The jeep sped across the wilderness, and Xu Mu breathed a sigh of relief as he left the abandoned Demon King's Palace.

"Xu Wudi, you don't care about this matter?"

who!

A teasing voice sounded from behind the car.

Xu Mu shuddered, and the jeep began to shake unsteadily. He looked up at the rearview mirror and saw the figure of an old man gradually appearing, sitting in the back seat with a smile on his face.

he is--

The evil Pharos!

"呲-"

Xu Mu slammed on the brakes and looked back: "Doctor? Why are you in my car?"

Dr. Evil chuckled, "I figured the Demon King would revive in the next few days, so I've been hanging around. Guess what? Today, I glanced over and saw you, a cheerful young man, driving over here. Oh... Brother Wudi, we're old friends now. Wouldn't it be awkward if I didn't come over to say hello?"

Who are you?

Get down here!

It really is... a haunting ghost!

I won't look for you, don't you understand what I mean?

Don't come near me, stay away from me!

Xu Mu looked alert and asked, "Has the Demon King in the abandoned Demon King's Palace revived?"

Farrow was unsure: "I guess so. Didn't you see? The teleportation ban is in effect. That's an ability only the Demon King has."

"Did you do this?"

"Stop spitting blood! This matter has nothing to do with me!"

no……

So what is going on?

This evil doctor——

Which side?

Xu Mu held the steering wheel and said, "Doctor, I'm completely confused. Could you please explain to me what's going on?"

Farrow said amiably, "Of course! We are brothers, what's there to be ashamed of?"

……

……

As Fallows spoke, he held up contracts, audio and video recordings to prove that what he said was true.

Seeing how thoroughly prepared he was, Xu Mu couldn't help but ask, "Doctor, do most people carry around audio and video recordings? You're constantly carrying them around. Are you deliberately preparing them to gain my trust?"

Farrow stared at me with his old eyes. "What are you talking about! Don't I know that you are very cunning? If I don't show you these things, will you believe me?"

"...To be honest, I don't really believe it even if you give it to me."

"It's really tiring to communicate with you. Can you trust me a little more?"

what……

But you really meant it.

Forget it, it doesn’t matter whether it’s true or not. It has little to do with me, Xu.

To summarize what Fallows said, it is probably like this:

The "Lord of the North" in the central land was not willing to be just a lord. He wanted to be a king and establish a country.

The Lord of the North had the capital to do so. He governed ten cities with over five million citizens, making him a small nation and the largest lord in the Central Lands. Even more impressive, his core jurisdiction lay across the sea from the Free Cities, not on the same landmass.

With such unique conditions and the hereditary position of "lord", it is inevitable that he has ambition.

The only problem is-

The fighting power of the "Three-Man Tea Party" is too strong. According to the "Free Agreement", the Lord of the North cannot declare independence or establish a country, otherwise it will attract a joint attack from the other three lords and the Three-Man Tea Party.

In desperation, the Lord of the North decided to seek help from the Demon King.

This gave Fallows his opportunity.

Farrow reminisced and said, "You know my situation. I'm obsessed with the unique genes of all living things, and I believe in the four words: 'Man can conquer nature.' I've long coveted the Demon King's genes. With such a great opportunity this time, how could I miss it? Therefore, I'm willing to provide technical support to the Lord of the North and help him awaken the Demon King. The newly revived Demon King is very weak, and I intend to kill him the moment he revives and then seize his genes!"

"..."

Xu Mu didn't say anything, but just looked at Fallows with an openly suspicious look.

Farrow spread his hands and said, "Brother Wudi, you don't trust me."

Xu Mu sneered, "So, not only are you not an evil person who wants to revive the Demon King, you're also a good person who wants to completely destroy the Demon King?"

Farrow's expression darkened. "Strictly speaking, yes. I'm a good person. I want to completely eliminate the hidden dangers for the Free City and the Central Land! After all—who can tolerate a demon king sleeping soundly beside their pillow?"

"Guess whether I believe it or not. Guess."

"I don't understand why you doubt me? Xu Wudi, am I, Doctor Evil, so despicable in your eyes?"

"Yes."

"you--"

Fallows seemed angry.

His face turned serious and he shouted, "I'm disappointed! Xu Wudi, I'm disappointed! I've always considered you a good brother, but I never thought you'd see me this way!"

Chapter 112 # 111 Are you a good thing? [3600 monthly tickets plus more]

Don’t try that on me!

An internationally wanted criminal, why is he pretending to be a hero here?

Others may not know what you are like, but don’t I know it?

Xu Mu sneered repeatedly and said, "Doctor, do you still remember that Nightmare tribe? Nightmares are extremely powerful in the dark. To obtain their genes, you designed a trap to kill an entire Nightmare tribe! You even spared the underage Nightmares, you beast!"

Pharos turned and looked. "Are nightgaunts good things? They are born to kill. Every nightgaunt has killed countless people. They even eat humans alive! If I kill them, isn't that eliminating harm for the people? Those little nightgaunts drink human blood to quench their thirst and eat human hearts to satisfy their hunger. Is killing them wrong?"

"Do you kill for justice?"

"I……"

No.

Purely to obtain the Nightmare's genes.

Farrow was speechless, but soon revealed a cold smile. "What about you? Xu Wudi, tell me about yourself. When we fought the Nightmare Tribe, we did it together, right? Is there less Nightmare blood on your hands than on mine?"

Xu Mu's eyes were filled with panic, but he still said firmly: "I, I... I killed people to protect the citizens. I am different from you in terms of realm. I am righteous."

"I bother!"

"Ugh?!"

You...why are you still spitting?

nausea!

There was a moment of silence in the car. The old man and the young man looked at each other, and no one spoke immediately.

After a long while, Farrows smiled and said, "Brother Wudi, you're in such a hurry—are you going back?"

Xu Mu nodded. "The Demon King's revival is such a big deal! I can't handle this matter. Let the people of the Central Land figure it out on their own!"

"You've become a coward."

"I am no longer the person I used to be. You can't look at me the same way."

"..."

Yes.

The current Xu Mu was no longer the Xu Wudi of the past. As someone who had spent every day with Xu Mu, Farrows could sense this change.

Think back to the beginning.

At that time, Xu Mu was simply a complete madman.

He is apostate;

He was arrogant;

He dares to think and act;

He is not a normal person.

Take the matter of the "Night Dire Tribe" for example - although the two of them put it very lightly, as if the Night Dire Tribe was a weak tribe that could be easily destroyed.

But in fact, the Nightmare Tribe is not a group of aliens living in the maze, but a powerful force that has established a stable gathering point on the Blue Star.

The strength of an ordinary adult Nightmare is roughly equivalent to that of a level 100 adventurer. In the tribe, there are "four emperors, eight commanders, and sixteen chiefs", a total of twenty-eight legendary masters. It would be difficult to annihilate them without a large army.
