Chapter 274: Chapter 261: The Return of the Dark Realm (XVI)

Suddenly, Chen Xiao clutched his head in pain:

"Heh heh... Ugh... Stop... bothering me!!!"

He roared in agony, his voice as sharp as a steel brush scraping glass, but inexplicably, he laughed a few times amidst the pain, and "bang clank clank" forcefully hit his own head.

The sturdy Class B field agent in front of him frowned when he saw Chen Xiao like this. In an instant, it was as if he thought of something. His pupils shrank, and he quickly pulled out a gun, aiming it at Chen Xiao.

"Turn around!" he shouted.

Within the Dark Realm, any abnormal behavior must be watched carefully.

Chen Xiao shook his head and obediently turned his body, and only after seeing no change in the color of the indicator on the back of his neck did the other party slightly relax.

"I... Um... just had a headache, an old problem," Chen Xiao explained.

The man unhappily curled his lip: "Alright, I don’t care about whatever problem you have, just fucking move! Don’t waste time!"

Chen Xiao was still smiling, but because of the helmet, and since Chen Xiao was slightly bowing his head, his utterly discordant smile went completely unnoticed by the Class B agent in front of him.

He was annoyed, even a bit fearful; wandering around with an idiot in the Dark Realm wasn’t the least bit reassuring. But thinking on the bright side, if it was as the man said, spreading out could help find the Dark Realm’s intrusion point faster, then we might as well finish this mission as soon as possible. The aberrations on this mission had already exceeded his understanding, and he felt uncomfortable every extra second he stayed here.

Chen Xiao reined in his smile and lifted his head slightly, looking at the spherical detector hovering over his shoulder: "What is this?"

"A detector, it must transmit the received data to that Omega guy..." The Class B agent said gruffly: "Stop the nonsense and hurry up!"

With that, he walked ahead, clearly fed up with Chen Xiao.

Just then...

"You know?"

Chen Xiao suddenly asked, out of the blue.

...

"Huh?" The man turned back in confusion.

"Humans, like many animals, eat when they are hungry, sleep when they are tired, feel fear when they face danger, and show love when they see their mate... In fact, they are animals, maybe even less than animals, but after obtaining absolute wisdom, they arrogantly lifted their species to the zenith of life. Of course, I’m not saying this is wrong, I’m just saying that after possessing vast intelligence, humans wrapped themselves in civilization. In truth, they are still beasts, perhaps even less than beasts. When it comes to their interests or survival, they can be more brutal than any other creature."

Chen Xiao mumbled, his voice muffled, as if his mouth was stuffed with something.

The field agent across was baffled: "What are you blabbering about? ’They’ this, ’they’ that, as if you’re not human yourself. Alright, I don’t have time to discuss human nature with you, just fucking move... move ahead!"

Chen Xiao, hearing the other’s fierce tone, patted his chest with his hands, acting as if he was afraid: "Ah, don’t be mad, I mean, everyone cherishes their own life. If one of two people could survive, they would kill the other without hesitation."

The Class B personnel, irritated to the point of gnashing his teeth, said, "No shit, of course, they would kill the other, and I would do the same. If your indicator turns even a bit red, I’ll off you without even blinking. So shut your mouth and get moving, otherwise I’ll take you down right now! Damn it!"

He pointed at Chen Xiao and yelled, now other people had already walked away for several minutes, and he was still standing there just because of this Class C jerk who wouldn’t stop jabbering. Frustration clawed at him, even bringing back the feeling from when he was young, and his mother nagged him about wearing long underwear. For a few seconds, he truly wanted to rush over and kick the guy.

Indeed, Chen Xiao, with his incessant, droning, and annoying demeanor, could infuriate anyone to death. But because their conversation was transmitted through the helmet, from the outside, it looked as though Chen Xiao was just standing there while the other suddenly became agitated.

"Alright, alright," Chen Xiao stepped back a few paces and said, "It’s just that I thought of something... like... why did the person claiming to be from Omega Squad want us to split up? But if you don’t want to listen, never mind, I’m probably just overthinking."

The man frowned: "Why split up?"

"Exactly, why does he want us to split up? Is it really just to increase the coverage area like he said?"

"Nonsense, what else could it be?" a Grade B personnel hesitated and then shouted.

Chen Xiao shook his head: "I don’t know, it’s just that this detector..." he said, glancing at the black sphere beside him with his eyes: "Look, they are floating, and since these things have the ability to fly, why not scatter more of them and let them fly on their own to each corner of the city. That way, the entire city district could be covered quickly, and there would be no danger..."

The Grade B personnel paused, nonplussed. He was not a man prone to deep thought, but Chen Xiao’s words had clearly made him realize something...: "You mean, these detectors actually don’t need to follow us?"

"Yeah, they don’t need us at all..."

"Then why..."

Chen Xiao said somberly, "Exactly, that’s what I’ve been wondering about."

At this point, Chen Xiao suddenly looked up, gazing into the other person’s eyes.

"I have an unfounded suspicion... that person

could it be

...

wants to kill us!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the Grade B personnel got a shock: "What?"

Chen Xiao ignored him and continued: "That’s right, I think these devices are not following but surveilling us, and after separating us, these things could explode, anyway... he wants to kill us."

"Do you know what you’re talking about?" the man shouted.

Chen Xiao nodded again: "Maybe I’m overthinking it, but it’s just too suspicious, isn’t it? He suddenly appeared, then split us up! This is the Dark Realm, a minor cut could turn us into a pile of rotting flesh, even if we all stick together it’s dangerous, let alone just two of us."

The Grade B personnel fell silent; in fact, when Dos had instructed them to split up in pairs, he also had been very reluctant, but he certainly didn’t have such a diabolical suspicion as "killing his comrades."

"Why would he kill us? Is he sick!" the man continued to shout.

Chen Xiao quietly watched the other person...

"He has his reasons, of course," Chen Xiao said calmly... "For example, did you see the color of his indicator?"
