Huangfu Chenyi withdrew his gaze. He was not surprised by the sudden voice, but he was somewhat confused by the request made at this time.
After careful consideration, Huangfu Chenyi rejected the mysterious person's request.
"Die Jia, it is not appropriate for you to intervene."
The mysterious voice was deep and hoarse, letting out a strange laugh.
"Hehehe, don't worry, I know my limits."
"It's just creating a dream, letting them sleep for a while. It won't cause any harm, hehehe..."
Huangfu Chenyi snorted, "The high-ranking officials of the World Government you interrogated last time are still intellectually disabled."
The mysterious person scoffed, "That's because their desires were too strong, and they became lost in the dream."
It persuaded him, "Huangfu, he's just a child. He doesn't have many wicked intentions."
"Besides, don't you want to know the secrets on him? Star Domain? Moon Country? Hahahaha~"
Huangfu Chenyi's eyes narrowed imperceptibly.
He ignored the mysterious person and turned to look at Lu Fei.
He said in a deep voice, "Since you are sworn brothers with my adoptive father, I assume he has told you about the events that happened over thirty years ago?"
Lu Fei pondered for a moment. He quickly understood what the other party was referring to.
He then nodded.
Huangfu Chenyi nodded with satisfaction, "In that case, you should be even clearer that I will not let go of any contracted beasts from the Star Domain."
Lu Fei said calmly, "I can understand you eradicating those contracted beasts from the Star Domain. Your enemies can be them, or they can be those World Government officials who do nothing."
"But I cannot understand why you would snatch them from weak civilian beast tamers."
Huangfu Chenyi scoffed, and said indifferently, "I disdain to do such things."
"But I need a powerful organization to support my plan. So I let those who are dissatisfied with the World Government's rule join the Hunters organization. As for what they want to do, that has nothing to do with me."
Lu Fei also chuckled, "Since that's the case, there's no need to discuss this matter further."
Huangfu Chenyi looked at Lu Fei with interest, "Do you think I am the embodiment of evil and want to eliminate me?"
Lu Fei was noncommittal.
He waved his hand nonchalantly, "What you want to do is your freedom. I have always adhered to the idea that existence is reasonable, of course, as long as it doesn't endanger me."
"Moreover, I sympathize with your experience. Your defection from the World Government is a very satisfying thing in my opinion."
Huangfu Chenyi smiled, a hint of admiration in his eyes.
He felt inexplicably curious, "If it were you, what would you do?"
Lu Fei did not answer immediately. He thought seriously for a moment and finally gave an open-ended answer.
"It depends on my strength. I never do things I'm not confident about."
Huangfu Chenyi nodded in silence.
Then he heard the other party say leisurely, "Like now, I can only be toyed with in their palms. But if I had enough strength, I would naturally resist!" Lu Fei looked at Huangfu Chenyi with hatred in his eyes, "For example, destroying the enemy's mental core in minutes!"
Huangfu Chenyi was stunned at first.
Then, he burst into hearty laughter.
He was very pleased with Lu Fei's answer.
After a moment of silence, as if making a decision.
Soon, Huangfu Chenyi slowly said:
"I can let this Star Domain contracted beast go, but you must answer one question truthfully."
Lu Fei's expression brightened, and he readily agreed.
"Ask away."
Huangfu Chenyi, based on his deductions, said slowly, "With your strength, it's impossible to subdue this Star Domain contracted beast. The only possibility is that you hatched it, and that's why it chose you."
Lu Fei's expression changed. Before he could recover.
He heard the other party continue, "Since it's an unhatched egg, there must be an adult Star Domain contracted beast guarding it. Tell me."
"Where is it?"
Lu Fei secretly admired Huangfu Chenyi's intelligence and reasoning ability.
It would be truly terrifying to have such a person as an opponent!
Lu Fei replied calmly, "It's dead."
"Dead?" Huangfu Chenyi frowned slightly, his tone becoming urgent, "What did it look like?"
Lu Fei fell silent. If he exposed Aidas, it would mean endless danger for the clumsy snake. What if Aidas was the target the other party had been searching for?
Lu Fei dared not gamble.
"I didn't see it clearly."
"Heh." Huangfu Chenyi's tone suddenly became frenzied, as if he had changed into someone else. "I'll give you one last chance. If you don't speak, I'll have to find the answer myself!"
After a moment of contemplation, Lu Fei took a deep breath.
"I said, I didn't see it clearly."
Huangfu Chenyi stopped wasting time. His lips moved slightly, as if talking to himself.
"Die Jia, you act now!"
The mysterious person, existing in a strange space, was stunned at first, then burst into laughter.
Huangfu Chenyi watched coldly, no longer speaking.
Suddenly.
A black phantom slowly rose from behind Huangfu Chenyi.
The phantom was tens of meters tall. It spread its arms, its fingers hooked like claws, and a gaping, invisible maw opened, as if to devour heaven and earth.
The next moment, a pile of colorful bubbles was spat from its mouth. The bubbles were of varying sizes, floating in the air and filling the entire cliff clearing like a sky-borne army.
Lu Fei's face was filled with horror.
This terrifying figure, like a mythical phantom, let out a cackling laugh.
"What is this?" Lu Fei exclaimed.
Unexpectedly, Huangfu Chenyi did not evade the question and said in a deep voice, "This is [Mirage Bubble]. As long as one comes into contact with it, all memories in their mind will be revealed!"
"Reveal memories?"
Lu Fei's expression changed. He quickly retreated several steps. Wouldn't that mean his transmigration, along with all his secrets including the [Unstable Evolution Talent], would be known to the other party?
It would be better to kill him!
However.
The black figure behind Huangfu Chenyi suddenly began to shake and float slowly towards Lu Fei. The figure grew closer and closer...
"No one in this world can escape the interrogation of [Mirage Bubble], not even myself. Hehehehe~"
Lu Fei had nowhere to retreat!
...
In the Yanbei region, by a small stream in a dense forest.
Brother Ji woke up leisurely. He rubbed his eyes and looked around.
"Old Lu?"
Brother Ji called out in a low voice, but found that Lu Fei and the clumsy snake were gone.
He looked around and saw a trail of footprints, one large and one small, on the ground.
Brother Ji rubbed his empty stomach and grumbled resentfully, "Out with the old and in with the new. Let me see where you guys have gone!"
Brother Ji began to follow the footprints slowly...
