Zhong Li suddenly understood, but was still a little surprised.
Finally he shook his head and sat aside slowly.
Looking at the table full of sumptuous dinner, Zhong Li did not hesitate, nor did he doubt whether the other party would poison him.
Finally, he picked up the chopsticks and started eating with big mouthfuls.
He was indeed a little tired after the long journey. While eating, Zhong Li looked back at the black spider next to him and couldn't help but smile and said.
"Sorry for making you laugh."
"Hahaha, Zhong Li, you are really free and easy."
"Aren't you afraid? What if the food is poisonous? Wouldn't you be unable to leave?"
Zhong Li shook his head indifferently, not caring at all.
"The leader of your base doesn't seem to welcome my arrival. But with the capabilities of your Dark Base, it would be easy to kill me. There's no need to go to such great lengths and even poison me."
"On the other hand, if your leader really intends to poison me, you will probably help, right?"
"In my eyes, you are indeed a gentleman. I believe that even at the end of the world, you must have your bottom line. Otherwise, you would not be sitting in the position of deputy envoy, so I believe in you."
Zhong Li responded seriously.
Black Spider felt more and more helpless, then poured Zhong Li a glass of wine and couldn't help but say.
"Eat and drink, then go back tomorrow. There is no one you are looking for here."
"Even if there is, you have no way to bring him back. It is too dangerous for you to touch the bottom line of the Dark Leader with this matter."
"If you are willing to follow my arrangements, just do as I say, and it will be good for you!"
The Black Spider was just short of sticking the words "It's Dangerous Here" on his face.
Zhong Li put the bowl and chopsticks on the table, looked at him, and asked in a somewhat strange tone, "Can I ask why you are helping me?"
"From what I know, the position of deputy envoy is enough for you to enjoy wealth and glory. And you are the second in command of the Dark Base, you are fully capable of leading everything."
"There's no need to ruin your future because of me."
Hearing this, he smiled slightly and then said softly
"You're right, but I have a bad habit. No one can persuade me to do what I want to do. Although it's the end of the world, I still have my bottom line. What you said is true."
In fact, Black Spider had long felt that the Dark Lord's actions were a bit excessive.
I have been persuading the Lord of Darkness to make changes before. Even if the Dark Base is not allowed to appear in front of everyone, the lives of other people's grounded survivors cannot be used as experimental carriers.
This is somewhat inhumane.
But he didn't expect that even though he had become the second-in-command and had control over all authority in the Dark Base, he was unable to convince his own master.
Even the Lord of the Dark Base seemed to want to kill him at any time.
This naturally made him feel dissatisfied.
Thinking of this, Black Spider shook his head.
"Many things are not as simple as you think. Now that I have given you a hint, I hope you can leave alive."
"Don't talk about being the second-in-command or the deputy envoy. If I do something wrong, or if it doesn't meet the master's wishes, I may die here at any time."
"If I am like this, what about you?"
Having said this, he suddenly stood up and patted Zhong Li on the shoulder, with a look of helplessness on his face.
"I have told you everything I can and cannot tell you."
"I admire what you and Jiang Mi do, so I don't want you to die here. As for the rest, you can handle it yourself."
After saying that, he left quickly.
Zhong Li was eating while thinking about it. Zhong Li naturally believed what Black Spider said just now. If it was true, then the entire Dark Base would have been in turmoil long ago.
The only thing that can be confirmed now is that Jiang Xun must be in the Dark Base, and he came here with someone and was trapped here.
Where is he now? How can we rescue him?
And who is the person who followed him? Why did he come to the Dark Base?
All these things, one by one, seem to be laid out before us.
Since there is no way to avoid it, we can only face it head-on.
"Okay, Jiang Xun, I've already risked my life to find you."
"Don't worry, as long as I'm here, I'll make sure you have nothing to worry about."
Zhong Li seemed to be talking to himself, but also seemed to be cheering himself up.
After saying that, he slowly stood up and walked outside.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Zhong Li."
Zhong Li was stopped as soon as he reached the door.
"You must be tired after the long journey. Please rest in your room."
"If you want to wander around the base, you need the master's permission tomorrow, and we will accompany you."
Even though these words sound nice and on the surface seem like they show concern for Zhong Li, in reality they are trapping Zhong Li here, leaving him with nowhere to hide.
"Mine can't move around freely?"
Zhong Li looked up in surprise.
"I came here to explore your cooperation base. I am not a prisoner you captured. It is not appropriate for you to trap me here now, right?"
Hearing this, the other party smiled slightly.
"What are you talking about? We are doing this for your own good."
"We have extra trainers at our dark base at night. These people don't have any emotions. If a stranger approaches them, they will be killed directly."
"Even those of us inside the organization have no way to dodge. As an outsider, you have no way to leave safely. For your safety, please stay here for the time being."
After saying this, he smiled slightly. Although he looked very kind, he did not evade at all.
It was obvious that they were blocking Zhong Li here and not allowing him to enter or leave freely.
Zhong Li was dissatisfied, but he also understood that today's incident might not be explained clearly.
"Okay, okay, I'll go back and rest."
After saying that, Zhong Li turned around abruptly and slammed the door shut, feeling extremely angry.
This time, we must not let it go.
"Hey, who are you?"
Just as Zhong Li was sitting on a chair to rest, he suddenly heard a snap, the window opened, and then a little girl climbed in through the window.
"Why are you here?"
The little girl stared with her big eyes, looking extremely cute.
She leaned against the window sill, looked at Zhong Li and said with a smile, "And you keep sighing. What's on your mind?"
Zhong Li was shocked. How could there be a little girl here?
There were so many guards outside, why didn't anyone stop the girl? Could it be that this girl was not ordinary and they didn't dare to stop her?
Thinking of this, Zhong Li stood up suddenly, hugged the little girl, and responded with a smile, "Be careful, don't fall out of the window." (End of this chapter)
