Chapter 371 The Proud Man
In the basement, Xia Mi looked at the rope tied around her wrists and felt confused. She wondered what the use of this thing was. Not to mention the Dragon King, it couldn’t even control a hybrid with a better physique, right?
I don’t know what those people are thinking. They know they are of bloodline, but they still don’t want to put on a chain. Maybe this is favoritism.

Thinking this in her heart, she raised her head and looked to the side. The girl with white hair and red eyes also had her hands tied with ropes, but there was no expression on her face that should be of someone being captured and accused. She even looked a little interested. It looked like some kind of strange rope play.

Not to mention, delicate and beautiful girls are the perfect match for rope bondage.

“This Chen family doesn’t seem to be anything special.” After admiring the beautiful girl enough, Xia Mi narrowed her eyes in satisfaction and said casually, “It’s not as special as the intelligence said.”

At least they haven’t seen anything worth paying attention to so far, nor have they seen any genetic modification technology. They have seen quite a few hybrids, but not a single one with high bloodline that is worthy of their attention.

But think about it from another angle, there are probably not many people in this world with high bloodline that can attract their attention.

“Don’t worry.” Yuan Zhinv said, “We are already investigating.”

Xia Mi thought to herself, “Aren’t you always with me? Where are you going to investigate?” But when she carefully sensed it, she felt an unusual magnetic field and she immediately understood what was going on.

“Snake?” she asked, and got an affirmative response.

There was no change in the expression on Genji’s face. She looked like she was just bored, but in fact, in such a short time since she was locked up, she had already explored almost the entire basement.

As she expected, there were indeed a lot of not-so-glorious research hidden underground. The girl couldn’t understand the specific source of the research data and could only smell the bloody smell emanating from the room.

It is strong and pungent. I don’t know how many people have shed blood here and how many people have lost their lives here.

Not only that, she also explored the buildings on the ground and found out that the fundamental reason why no one cared about her and Xia Mi after they were thrown in was that these people seemed to be busy with other more important things.

They seemed to have lost something or someone very important and were anxiously looking for them. Groups of people were sent out. Almost everyone with a bit of bloodline and some fighting power went. It could be said that they were out in full force.

“I think we might have caught up with the fun.” Yuan Zhinv said suddenly.

Xia Mi blinked curiously: “What do you mean?”

As a qualified person who enjoys fun, she is very interested in all forms of fun. The two women had no sense of being imprisoned at all, and their postures were relaxed and casual, as if they were just here for vacation in this underground cage.

And that seems to be the case.

“Caesar should have escaped.” Genji said, “We are too late.”

To make these people so anxious, it must be that something very important or someone was lost. Combined with the last location where Caesar appeared before he disappeared, Yuan Zhinv reasonably suspected that Caesar must have run away secretly and somehow hid it from everyone, even her.

“Oh, young master, you have this ability? You escaped by yourself?” Xia Mi raised her eyebrows, her tone full of ridicule. In her eyes, Caesar and Chu Zihang, the so-called ace combination of Kassel Academy, were just children playing house.

Yuan Zhinv was just about to say that she was also quite surprised, and that if that was the case she shouldn’t waste time here, and should wait until she had finished her business before playing. But before she could open her mouth, footsteps were suddenly heard outside the dungeon, and someone was approaching.

Yuan Zhinu and Xia Mi looked at each other and reached a silent consensus in just one glance.

Then, the two of them quickly put on confused and helpless expressions, huddled in the corner and shivered.

Afraid that her image would be too outstanding and would be recognized at a glance, Gen Chinushi even took the trouble to change her image, turning her white hair and red eyes into ordinary black hair and black eyes. For the White King, this change was easy.

Xia Mi silently gave a thumbs up, then put her hands back into the ropes and pretended nothing had happened.

The heavy but regular footsteps were getting closer and closer. A solemn middle-aged man who looked like a terracotta warrior came to the outside of the cell. He glanced at the girls shivering in the corner of the cell and frowned.

He turned to look at the person behind him and said in an unhappy tone: “Is this what you call bloodline?”

“There should be. The interference words against ordinary people in that courtyard didn’t work.” The follower answered respectfully. He also saw the pitiful appearance of the girls and added:

“But their bloodline should not be high. When we captured them, they did not resist. I guess the Word Spirits are also non-combat type.”

It’s no wonder they reacted that way. The two girls huddled in the corner, not daring to look up, didn’t look like mixed-race people at all. They were just like the most innocent girls who were accidentally involved in something dangerous.

She was indeed very pretty, but the middle-aged man was obviously not someone who would be gentle with women. He glanced at her once and then looked away, with a hint of disdain on his face.

“Although I don’t know why Kassel Academy would send trash like you, you are still somewhat useful.” He said slowly, “Catch them, take a photo together and send it to Caesar.”

“Will this work?” The attendant couldn’t help but reveal a hesitant expression: “Since Caesar has already logged into the Kassel Academy account, he must have already contacted the academy. He will definitely return to the protection of the academy as soon as possible.”

“With the support speed of Kassel College, even if we completely block the streets, we won’t be able to delay them for too long. Once Caesar gets the support of Kassel College, he will be an extremely difficult specialist to deal with. It will probably be easy for him to escape our encirclement.”

“On the contrary, if he comes back to save people, it will be difficult for him to leave again.”

The servants stated the established facts. They all knew in their hearts that as long as Caesar returned to Kassel Academy, they would never have a chance to catch him again. But on the other hand, their negligence and carelessness allowed Caesar to escape once, but there would definitely not be a second time.

Caesar must have understood the severity of the situation. If he really chose to come back to save people, it would be no different from seeking his own death. What’s more, whether it was Chen Wenwen outside or the two girls here, they were just strangers to Caesar.

Would he choose to give up his life for a few strangers? It was impossible to even think about it.

The servant thought so in his heart, but he didn’t dare to say it out loud. He just expressed his thoughts in a tactful way, but the man just sneered.

“He will come back.” It was an affirmative tone, with a hint of mockery: “You still don’t understand the persistence in the hearts of these nobles. Compared with death and life, they care more about things that will make them lose their status in the world.”

“No Longer Human?”

“Yes, if they give up saving the girl who is in danger because of themselves in order to survive, they will be disqualified from the world, which is more terrible than death.” The servant didn’t quite understand this sentence, but he nodded anyway. The two girls in the corner also didn’t understand.

Xia Mi thought, why would she care about the life and death of a stranger when she is about to die? It was really stupid of her to insist on this. When she turned around, she saw Yuan Zhinv who seemed to be thinking about something.

She immediately signaled with her eyes what was wrong, and Yuan Zhinv winked at her, meaning not to act rashly.

Xia Mi understood immediately and immediately showed her acting skills. The two weak and helpless women were escorted out and prepared to be taken out to threaten Caesar together. The photos were also sent out.

The middle-aged man, who is the patriarch of the Chen family, seems to know Caesar very well. He is certain that Caesar will come back, and has already begun to make preparations. At the same time, he has ordered his men to be ready to silence him at any time.

In his eyes, no matter Chen Wenwen or these two, they were already cold corpses. Once Caesar caught them, he would kill them immediately and would not let any of this matter leak out.

Because he already had the intention to silence them, he did not hide his words at all and gave the orders directly in front of Yuan Zhinv and Xia Mi. After all, the dead would not tell secrets, so he did not care.

It was also because of this undisguised contempt that he didn’t notice the two girls with their heads lowered behind him. There was no fear in their eyes, only… enthusiasm for watching the show.

It was the first time for them to be hostages. How should I put it? They were quite excited. If conditions allowed, they would even want to post a message on the Night Watch discussion forum to ask what they should pay attention to when being hostages.

However, it was obvious that these people would not agree to their unreasonable request, so they simply did not mention it and could only act freely on the spot.

……

Facts have proved that the head of the Chen family really knew Caesar quite well. The moment Caesar received the news, he was stunned.

He didn’t know Chen Wenwen’s name, and he could feel the girl’s caution and vigilance towards him along the way, but it was true that the girl saved him, and he could understand the girl’s reaction. After all, anyone who was held hostage would be afraid.

Not to mention that the girl endured her fear and left money for him. Now the girl was arrested because of him. If he just left like that and abandoned the girl in order to save his own life, even if she was just a strange girl he had only met once, Caesar would not forgive himself, and he would not be Caesar anymore.

Norma, who also detected the news, reacted quickly. Although she didn’t know why this artificial intelligence was renamed Eva, her reaction was indeed very fast, and her words were much sharper than Norma’s. She didn’t seem like a talkative middle-aged white woman, but more like a dark and sharp-tongued senior.

“Eva: According to calculations, the probability that this message is a trap is as high as 98.3%. If you go to rescue them now, the probability of being recaptured is 92.5%. In other words, you are committing suicide.”

“Eva: You can’t save her. The best answer is to wait for support. You will get weapons and supplies in 10 minutes. Then you will have a better chance of saving her. Sober up.”

“Caesar: In 10 minutes, she might be dead.”

“Eva: If you go now, she will die anyway, and you will just be killed. It’s meaningless.”

“Eva: And since they are using this girl to threaten you to show up, they will definitely not touch this girl easily. Before you show up, she will most likely be fine. You should be able to delay her for a few minutes. Once you get weapons and support, you will have a real chance of saving her.”

The cold, ruthless and even somewhat cruel facts were directly revealed. Caesar looked at the news and curled the corners of his mouth.

“Caesar: The meaning is that I can’t accept that a girl died here to save me, and I didn’t make any effort, but just chose to escape. Then I won’t know how to tell others about this period of my life. It’s too shameful, so shameful that I can commit suicide because of this.”

“Caesar: I know I can’t save her, and I know they won’t do it easily, but what if? What if this girl dies for me? That will be a stain that I can never wash away in my lifetime, and a sin that I can never atone for in my lifetime.”

After typing this line, he ignored the dissuasion of the artificial intelligence, turned off the computer, turned around and walked out.

And it took less than two minutes for that message to be sent.

At this time, the central control room of Kassel College was brightly lit, and all the technicians in the executive department were working overtime, searching the Internet for news about Caesar and the various dragon kings.

This is undoubtedly a very critical moment of the decisive battle. Norma has been offline for a long time, and the one who is in charge of the college’s central host at this time is the girl named Eva. She is not a college secretary. The original design intention was to be an offensive weapon.

The technicians all looked at the girl on the screen with awe. They vaguely guessed that the hidden personality of this girl was not the gentle logistics expert like Norma, and the time they spent together also proved this point. The girl was very aggressive and very sharp-tongued.

Schneider stood under the big screen, watching the news of Caesar’s account going offline on the other side of the ocean, as well as the conversation between the two, and couldn’t help but say, “Eva, won’t your words arouse his rebellious psychology? Look, he’s offline!”

“No matter what I say, he will go offline.” The virtual girl said lightly, her tone calm and cold: “If he doesn’t go offline, he is not Caesar.”

“What should we do now? We finally got news about Caesar. If he is captured again, it will be difficult to rescue him.” Manstein at the side couldn’t help but interrupt: “Can the support arrive quickly? Who are the nearest specialists nearby? Is it too late to rush over now?”

“We have notified all nearby specialists to go there. I hope he can hold on for a while longer.” Eva said, “At least until we get support.”

Manstein frowned, and not only him, all the technicians looked unhappy, because they all knew that distant water cannot quench nearby fire. Caesar might be in great danger if he went there.

However, just as they were brainstorming and trying to think of how to break the deadlock, Eva captured the new message received by Caesar’s account and projected it onto the big screen at the same time.

Everyone looked at the latest photo. The two girls were hiding in the corner, shivering, and their whole bodies were filled with weakness, pitifulness and helplessness.

Manstein was about to curse the other person as a despicable bastard, but Eva seemed to know what he was going to do. She accurately enlarged the clear facial images in the photo, and two delicate and beautiful faces appeared in front of everyone.

Then Manstein fell silent.

Not only him, everyone fell silent instantly, and for a moment the entire central control room was as quiet as a chicken.

The virtual girl remained silent and simply cancelled her support.
