Infinite: Starting from Infiltrating Other Spaces

......................

The small transport plane landed lightly in the courtyard of the villa. Corned stepped off the plane, not dressed in formal attire.

Instead, he was dressed in very casual clothes and had a smile on his face, a stark contrast to his usual cold demeanor.

"Mr. Corned."

Li Xia stood at the door, greeting him with a smile as well. In truth, no matter how much she tried to hide it, the mere sight of the two of them together would inevitably arouse Yuan Xu's suspicion.

As long as the content of the conversation is not leaked, let them be suspicious.

"Dark Flame!"

The two embraced warmly at the door, like old friends.

They chatted idly, but there was nothing of substance to it, and then they sat down at the small round table that Li Xia had set up beforehand.

Corned was slightly taken aback when he saw the strange drinks on the table. He thought that Darkflame was just using this as an excuse to talk to him about things that were not easy to discuss over the communicator.

Unexpectedly, he actually managed to get his hands on a bottle of wine.

Kohned couldn't help but glance at the very composed Li Xia, and even began to doubt whether he had misunderstood Li Xia's meaning.

Today, I'm simply letting him taste the wine.

But this suspicion didn't last long. Just as Li Xia poured the 'crystal clear' liquor into his glass, Corned was about to raise his glass when his pupils suddenly contracted.

Several words could be faintly seen floating in the liquid. The words were semi-transparent and swayed slightly in the water, and they were also made of liquid.

If it weren't for the unusual angle, you probably wouldn't be able to see it.

Corned paused slightly, as if he were tasting the wine under his nose, before downing it in one gulp.

But those words were deeply etched in my mind.

"Come at night, avoiding Yuanxu."

He put down his wine glass, closed his eyes to savor the aroma, and after a long while, said with appreciation:

"What a rare and exquisite wine..."

"What nectar and ambrosia?" Awoo curled his lip. "It's just Erguotou mixed with plain water!"

The two of them sat at the table, sipping Erguotou (a type of Chinese liquor) mixed with plain water, and talking about nonsensical things.

Occasionally, they would burst into inexplicable laughter together.

In short, judging from the scene... everyone seemed to be having a good time.

Soon the 'fine wine' that Li Xia brought was finished, and the two stood up and shook hands with great enthusiasm.

Then they bid each other a reluctant farewell...

夜晚

The pale blue protective shield emitted a very faint light, providing a pitiful glimmer of light to this pitch-black world.

Flower-kissing viper was wearing an extremely alluring short skirt, and the slightly exaggerated decorations on her face had disappeared, making her face look exceptionally clean and refreshing.

"What are you looking at?"

She sat on a lounge chair in the villa's garden, looked at Li Xia lying on another lounge chair, and asked with interest.

"I wonder when the world will be able to see the stars."

Li Xia spoke calmly, her eyes still fixed on the protective shield, unmoved by the beautiful face and alluring figure of the Flower Kiss Viper.

"The starry sky?"

Flower Viper lowered its head and lit a slender cigarette with a 'snap'.

"call----"

She exhaled pale blue smoke, which dissipated in the air and slowly drifted into the sky.

"You still want to see the starry sky?"

Flower-Kiss Viper sneered, its dark red cigarette butt flickering in the night.

"This world is rotten to the core, beyond saving! Just muddle through this life, close your eyes, and who cares about anything else!"

Li Xia glanced at her, but he never expected that the usually energetic head of the intelligence department would be so dejected.

"How about it? Want to try me?"

The viper turned its head, its face carrying a seductive quality:

"I'm very willing to accept you as you are now..."

"Let's get down to business."

Li Xia waved his hand lazily and sat up again:

"It's all done now?"

"Tch, boring..."

Huawen Viper rolled her eyes and said irritably, "It's done. Yuanxu's surveillance here was faked."

Maybe it's listening to our passionate lovemaking in the room right now, watching it live.

Li Xia paused, realizing that this method would confuse the Yuanxu monitoring system...

It can only be said that it has a very unique character in this world.

"Let's go, Corned should be here soon..."

A moment later, a bug about the size of a thumb flew in from outside and landed on the table in the living room.

The viper squinted and examined the insect. Before she could speak, the insect suddenly swelled up and then exploded.

A slightly larger insect appeared on the table, and then continued to expand rapidly, as if something inside was stretching it open.

It gets bigger each time, repeating this process.

Until the insect on the table came to about a meter in size, no larger insects appeared after this explosion.

Instead, there was only a small figure curled up and lying on the table.

His eyes moved and slowly opened. The slime inside the insect covered his entire body. The child stood up and was about to speak when suddenly a howling insect rushed up and condensed into a large mass of water, pressing him down inside.

That's absolutely disgusting!

The child's face was exactly the same as Corned's, and he had obvious confusion on his face, clearly not understanding why this was happening.

He opened his mouth, and only a series of bubbles bubbled out. With a twist of his paw, the water immediately began to spin rapidly.

Like a super-sized washing machine, it made Corned spin around on the spot.

When he reappeared, Corned's eyes were glazed over. He opened his mouth, and a large stream of clear water flowed out.

Li Xia: ......

Flower-kissing Viper:.......

.........

"I didn't expect you guys would still care about something like this."

Mini Corned is already dressed in children's clothes (actually, Awoo found a sweater in his personal warehouse and shrunk it by washing it).

Despite his youthful appearance, he spoke with an unusually mature air: "There's nothing I can do; the leader of Yuanxu is keeping a very close eye on things."

This was the only way I could get here.

He glanced at the Flower Viper without saying a word, clearly understanding why the Flower Viper was there as well.

"So what kind of thing is worth going to such lengths and going to such great lengths for you?"

Do you know what task I did a couple of days ago?

Li Xia did not answer directly, but instead talked about the mission she was going to carry out.

"Oh? That classified mission?"

Kohned narrowed his eyes. He only knew that Li Xia had received orders from the leader of Yuanxu to carry out a mission, but he had no idea what the mission entailed.

"Yes, I and three titled hunters from the Hunter's Guild went to the very center of Mordo City. Our mission was to eliminate the rebels!"

Moto City, Rebellion??

"hiss....."

Flower Kiss Viper took a light breath. Who in the entire shelter didn't know the name of Modo City?

The pre-cataclysmic metropolis, a death trap where distortion and order intertwined, was the perception of everyone in the shelter.

Modo City is a death trap, and even hunters only try to salvage a few items on the outermost edge.

"You...you went in?"

Flower-Kiss Viper couldn't help but ask, "Have we really entered the center of Modo City?"

"if not?"

Li Xia gave her a strange look. He didn't have any particular feelings about Modo City and didn't know what kind of reputation the city had within the shelter.

He continued, "The 'Rebels' were former title hunters of those hunter guilds who possessed RS-003, RS-009, and RS-012."

Corned's expression froze for a moment, then gradually became serious.

"After we defeated them, I intended to extract some information from them through interrogation—"

"Wait, three titled hunters, and they also possess three top-tier containment items..."

The flower-kissing viper's eyes widened in disbelief:

"You actually defeated your opponent?!"

Is this the important point?

Li Xia frowned and waved his hand:

"But then the tuner suddenly appeared, instantly killing the three and taking the contained object back..."

A glint of light suddenly flashed in Corned's eyes:

"The tuner made a direct move?"

Hua Wenfu forced herself to calm down. She thought about it carefully for a moment, then slowly nodded as well:

"Something's wrong!"

There was definitely a problem. With the mission seemingly going smoothly, the tuner couldn't wait to take matters into their own hands...

The Flower-Kissing Viper stood up and paced back and forth in front of the two, its index finger pressed against its lips:

"The problem is very serious. Taking action at this time seems like we're covering something up, as if we're afraid they'll reveal something."

Want to kill me to silence me?

"Are you afraid of causing unnecessary trouble? If you hear certain things, will you not take action and let the three go?"

She turned to look at Li Xia and asked seriously:

"Did...the three of them say something?"

"He did say one sentence."

Li Xia nodded:

"They say that the four harmonizers under the leader of the Primordial Order are all beings of original sin!"

1. Monthly pass 2. Recommendation vote

I helped a friend with an online interview. It was supposed to be only an hour and a half, but it ended up taking almost three and a half hours.

I took Little Carp out for dinner tonight, so this is only one update today. Sorry!
