"Old Task Force" left the fortress-filled outskirts of Gesterbourg, and the weeds in front of them gradually thinned out. Looking into the distance, they could vaguely see a wasteland and hills.

"How many kilometers, how many kilometers?" Shang Jianyao, sitting in the back row, asked the automatic measuring instrument, Genaver.

"Almost two kilometers from Gesterbourg." This time, Genaver chose to use more human-like ambiguous data.

Shang Jianyao was disappointed for a moment:

"Less than three kilometers."

He glanced at Bai Chen, who was driving, and opened his mouth to say something, but closed it again.

"You want Xiao Bai to drive faster?" Jiang Baimian glanced at this guy.

"Yes, yes." Shang Jianyao nodded quickly.

"You hope to reach three kilometers as soon as possible and let the body of Jitis go back?" Jiang Baimian asked again.

Shang Jianyao frankly admitted:

"The Eighth Research Institute has awakened in various fields. I don't know which ones will be sent this time. It's too dangerous, too dangerous!"

Yes, Jitis is not even an Awakened yet... Although she is using another body, even if it is lost, it will not affect her original self, but the problem is that we do not have a complete understanding of the abilities in various fields. Who knows if there will be something that restrains "God's Mirror Communication" plus "Predestined Communication"... Jiang Baimian echoed Shang Jianyao in her heart.

If Jitis were to be involved in the battle between the "Old Task Force" and the Eighth Research Institute, they would all feel unbearable. They hoped to reach three kilometers as soon as possible and take over the Bodhi statue from Jitis's body.

Anyway, the oldest AC-42 military exoskeleton device has already been mortgaged to Jitis.

The only problem is that this road is complex and difficult to navigate. Jiang Baimian didn't dare to let Bai Chen drive too fast, lest something unexpected happen and be taken advantage of by the people from the Eighth Research Institute.

She calmed herself down, straightened her body, and glanced at the front where she couldn't see any vehicles:

"Maintain the previous state, don't relax."

From time to time, recall the state of "Ghost Aunt" gaze and "Zhuang Sheng" dream.

...

Behind a small hill, a figure was leaning against a red pine tree, one hand in his pocket, looking up at the distant blue sky.

This formed a sharp contrast with the dim haze in the direction of Gesterbourg.

The figure was a little over 1.8 meters tall, wearing a black trench coat, black trousers, black boots, and gloves of the same color, with a silver gauss rifle on his back.

His black hair was neatly combed back, with sword-like eyebrows, an unusually straight nose, and golden eyes. He was angular and quite handsome.

Qiao Chu!

This person was none other than Qiao Chu, the special envoy of the Eighth Research Institute who previously controlled the "Old Task Force" and led them to the No. 1 swamp ruins, the ruins of Dajiang City!

At this time, he did not show that uncontrollable charm, or there were no humans or animals around to prove it.

Suddenly, Qiao Chu raised his hand and touched the white earphones in his ears, as if listening to something.

Hearing the end, he frowned and his expression became not so good.

When he put down his raised right hand, he whispered to himself:

"This time, I'll listen to you for the time being. It won't be long before I can become a professor!"

If he hadn't been delayed for too long at the key node of entering the "Sea of Origin" into the "Corridor of the Mind," with the Eighth Research Institute's rich information on the "Corridor of the Mind" rooms, he might have explored the depths by now.

He extended his left palm forward, revealing the ordinary-looking black electronic watch on his wrist.

Immediately afterwards, Qiao Chu took off the watch and threw it on the ground.

In an instant, two completely different feelings formed around the red pine tree he was leaning against:

One was the ants detouring as if they had encountered something terrible around the watch, and the other was the various creatures uncontrollably approaching Qiao Chu.

The latter came from the price Qiao Chu paid, "Charm Out of Control," which made him constantly exude a deadly attraction to the surroundings, and the target, whether male or female, or beast, was hard to escape.

After he entered the "Corridor of the Mind," this situation became more and more serious, so he had to apply to the Eighth Research Institute for that electronic watch to reduce the impact.

Qiao Chu didn't think much of the ability attached to that electronic watch. What he used was the negative effect of this item:

"Repulsive"!

"Repulsive" largely neutralized Qiao Chu's "Charm Out of Control," allowing him to freely enter and exit various gathering points without causing abnormalities, only enjoying some privileges that good-looking people often get.

If it weren't for the strong people suppressing Gesterbourg, he would have felt that it would have been a better plan to go directly to the door yesterday and attack the team that once served as his servant.

After adapting to the state of unlocking the "seal," Qiao Chu turned around, walked out from behind the red pine tree, and headed towards the road between the hills leading to the icefield.

He knew that the target team now had a robot member, but he was not too worried, because the basic ability obtained by the "Monitor" field after entering the "Corridor of the Mind" was electromagnetic interference.

Although this could not help him solve the robot, it was enough to affect the other party's judgment and hold it back for dozens of seconds.

...

"Three kilometers after bypassing that hill." Genaver reminded Shang Jianyao.

Shang Jianyao nodded happily and said to Bai Chen in front:

"Xiao Bai, remember to stop when the time comes."

Before Bai Chen could respond, her expression suddenly changed, and there was a bit of infatuation in her eyes.

A figure appeared next to the hill, a familiar figure to the "Old Task Force."

It was none other than Qiao Chu, the special envoy of the Eighth Research Institute with black hair, golden eyes, sword-like eyebrows, and starry eyes!

Bai Chen's right foot stepped on the brake, gradually increasing the force, making the vehicle slower and slower, so as to stop steadily in front of Qiao Chu.

Long Yuehong in the co-driver's seat did not stop him, but looked forward with anticipation, sincerely and silently praising:

"He's even more handsome."

Genaver in the back row didn't seem to notice anything, but asked:

"Are you going to take over the Bodhi statue now?"

Jiang Baimian next to him and Shang Jianyao next to Jiang Baimian were silent, staring straight ahead.

The off-road vehicle following behind their car suddenly accelerated and forcibly overtook to the front.

The male body of Jitis wearing a baseball cap and gray-blue clothes was looking at the hill with fiery eyes, seemingly looking for the reason for his sudden heartbeat.

The next second, "he" saw Qiao Chu, his expression flickered, and he showed obvious doubt.

This was because Jitis's original consciousness far away on the edge of Gesterbourg noticed something was wrong.

She was outside the range of Qiao Chu's "Charm Out of Control," so she was naturally not affected.

However, the male body holding the Bodhi statue did not maintain the expression of doubt for too long, and soon returned to infatuation.

Qiao Chu's "Charm Out of Control" was always exerting its influence, constantly and continuously!

In this way, the male body of Jitis constantly switched between resisting and infatuated states, slowly driving the car closer to Qiao Chu.

Qiao Chu glanced at this off-road vehicle with a slight surprise, frowning at the fact that someone was still able to struggle.

At this time, the jeep of the "Old Task Force" overtook the off-road vehicle driven by the male body of Jitis and stopped not far from Qiao Chu.

Three car doors opened with a swish, and Bai Chen, Long Yuehong, Jiang Baimian, and Shang Jianyao got out one after another and ran towards Qiao Chu.

Qiao Chu concentrated his mind and forcibly interfered with the electromagnetic signals received by Genaver, hoping that the four humans of the "Old Task Force" would come to him and form a human shield before the other party realized it.

In that case, he would be able to control the robot by holding Shang Jianyao, Jiang Baimian, Long Yuehong, and Bai Chen hostage.

Dong dong dong, Shang Jianyao strode forward, running the fastest, and came to Qiao Chu first.

He is indeed the most active one... Qiao Chu recalled the events in the No. 1 swamp ruins and nodded slightly.

At this moment, Shang Jianyao's upper body leaned back slightly, his right arm stretched open, and his hand clenched into a fist.

Bang!

His bronze fist hit Qiao Chu's angular face, making the special envoy see a large number of golden stars in front of him, and making several of his teeth loosen and fly out.

"Return our military exoskeleton device!" Shang Jianyao shouted with full energy.

At this moment, Qiao Chu's eyes were filled with disbelief and extreme confusion.

This punch made him doubt his life, and this punch also made Bai Chen, Long Yuehong, Jiang Baimian, and others a little sober.

After all, Qiao Chu's "perfect face" in their minds had been damaged.

"Why are you unaffected?" Long Yuehong blurted out.

Shang Jianyao punched again, directly knocking Qiao Chu unconscious, and then proudly and triumphantly replied:

"Loving someone will only affect my saving humanity!"

"This..." Long Yuehong listened in a daze.

Jiang Baimian recalled the past and asked in astonishment:

"Is this the 'Reasoning Clown' you applied to yourself in the No. 1 swamp ruins back then?"

It's been years!

This madman has never lifted that effect, and it has continued to this day!

"Ah?" Shang Jianyao was puzzled at first, then realized.

Jiang Baimian then looked around and frowned:

"Is Qiao Chu the only enemy?"

This is impossible!

You know, the "Old Task Force" has a robot that can fight that charm!
