"Boss, boss!"

One night a few days later, Chen Xing, who was lying on the dining table, was shaken awake by the smell of alcohol.

He opened his eyes drunkenly, and when he saw Xiao Yang, he muttered "don't bother me", turned his head and went back to sleep.

"Boss, it's not good, something happened!"

"Really, something has happened!"

Xiao Yang looked anxious and shook repeatedly. Only then did Chen Xing get up lazily, and with the help of Xiao Yang, he came to a small hotel not far away.

At this time, the small hotel was crowded with people, all of them familiar faces from the Thunder and Masters.

Everyone's faces were solemn, and when they saw Chen Xing coming in, they all moved out of the way.

Seeing this battle, Chen Xing realized the seriousness of the problem, and Jiu suddenly woke up a little. He shook his head vigorously, driving away the drunken vertigo, and walked into the depths of the hotel.

"The boss is here."

"go in!"

In the dimly lit corridor, Huozui and Pang Li stood on either side of a guest room. Chen Xing nodded to the two of them, and Huozui opened the door.

Seeing the scene inside, Chen Xing's head exploded, and the whole person was stunned.

In the small room that smelled of musty, there were two male corpses hanging. The two had been dead for a long time, and their bodies were stiff, hanging upright in the air.

The dilapidated desk was littered with papers with only one last word on it.

I'm sorry, we can't hold on anymore, please forgive our cowardice.

"Pang Li and I have checked it out, and it's suicide." Huozui behind him whispered, and then explained, "Some time ago, they behaved abnormally and often told people around them that they dreamed of a pair of pairs when they went to bed at night. eyes on them."

"They say they've had insomnia for a long time, and it's gotten worse recently, and they've started hallucinating during the day."

"Probably can't stand the torture, so..." Speaking of this, Huozui choked a little.

The two people who committed suicide were guard-level powerhouses. As long as they had a little will to survive, they could mobilize their psychic energy and break the rope.

But they didn't, not even for a moment.

This is how much despair it takes to make such a decisive decision.

Although the last words are only a short sentence, they have exhausted the vicissitudes and sufferings.

Chen Xing clenched his fists tightly, his chest was full of huge anger and sadness, but he had nowhere to vent.

The scar on his arm was aching, as if reminding him at all times that the gaze from the abyss had never left them.

"Boss, the person has already left, let's mourn and change." Huozui advised. "Maybe for them, it's also a relief."

"This is their life, and also..." Pang Li took a deep breath, "Our life."

The hoarse voice was full of powerlessness. In the face of the absolute strength gap, even with the determination to die, it is like a mayfly shaking a tree and cannot be shaken in the slightest.

There are times when heroes of the world are powerless, not to mention a group of bereaved dogs.

Everyone was silent, and great sadness and anger permeated the small hotel. The owner and waiter didn't know what was going on, and they were trembling with fear and dared not show their faces.

Huge grief and anger accumulated in his chest, Chen Xing wanted to yell, but couldn't make a sound.

He hated the abyss king's extermination, hated the injustice of this world, and hated his own incompetence.

"Well!"

In the midst of grief and anger, suddenly there was a sweetness in the throat, and blood overflowed from the corner of the mouth.

"Boss!"

Seeing Chen Xing vomiting blood, Huozui and others immediately surrounded him.

"Take the boss away!"

"Get out, get out!"

Everyone hurriedly helped Chen Xing out.

Not long after going out, Chen Xing, who was still in a state of confusion, struggled to stand up. "I'm fine, I'm fine..."

He pushed the supporter away and staggered toward the small bar.

After sitting for a few hours, he didn't recover until the dawn appeared and the light entered the tavern.

There was only one thought in his mind at the moment, that something had to be done. Even if a dead horse is used as a living horse doctor and it is in vain in the end, he cannot do nothing.

At least, he has worked hard and struggled!

With the support of such a belief, he found Merov, the president of the Chamber of Commerce, and asked him to send a telegram to the White Tower Academy.

About half an hour later, an old man dressed as a homeless man in a worn gray robe came to the small bar where Chen Xing was.

Under the dirty hood, a pair of wise eyes appeared.

"You, why are you dressed like this?" Chen Xing looked at Ramsden in front of him strangely, which was completely different from the handsome, wise and elegant guardian of the world in his impression.

Ramsden smiled slightly embarrassedly, and said, "It's a sensitive period, so it's hard for people to see."

"That's right..." Chen Xing nodded and sighed, "I have such a bad reputation now that it's hard for you to come here in person."

"That's not true, Chen Xiaoyou is overly concerned." Ramsden quickly waved his hand to deny it, and then comforted, "Chen Xiaoyou don't need to belittle yourself. Although people have some misunderstandings now, I believe that Chen Xiaoyou is a good person with integrity and kindness."

Hearing the word "good person", Chen Xing couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Don't make fun of me, I know what my reputation is now."

Then Chen Xing went straight to the point and explained the purpose of inviting the other party over this time.

The matter of the abyss brand was told to the other party last time. If it was just his personal problem, he would definitely not trouble the other party. As Tienuo said, the guardian is the guardian of the world, but now it is related to the only remaining group of partners around him. He was really powerless, and could only turn to the Guardian of the World for help.

After listening to Chen Xing's words, Ramsden pondered for a while, and finally shook his head, "Chen Xiaoyou, what you said just now, even if the old man wants to help, he is powerless..."

He then explained that there are three ways to completely solve the abyss brand.

The first way is to be strong enough. Become a bone that cannot be chewed, and the gluttonous monarch will naturally give up.

But at least it is a little king-level strength, and only the parties can get rid of the brand.

In other words, unless everyone is promoted to the minor king level, the gluttonous monarch will continue to entangle.

The second method is to counter the guest and take the mark of the abyss as the coordinates to counterattack the monarch of gluttony, so that he can taste the taste of fear, and naturally he will give up.

But doing so is very difficult.

Although the strength of the gluttonous monarch is comparable to that of the supreme powerhouse of human beings, as a powerful individual, he cannot pass through the narrow space passage and can only transmit a small amount of power into the undercurrent of time and space.

Just like two strong men who can only fight through a narrow window, neither side can exert their full strength, so it is difficult to distinguish the winner.

The third way is to temporarily suppress it. Just like last time, ask the saintess of the Holy Light Church to apply a seal.

But the Holy Maiden has a high status and will not be easily shot, and the seal is only temporary, it can only be managed for a while and not for a lifetime.

"According to what you said, there is no way?" Chen Xing said with some disappointment.

"That's not..." Ramsden said thoughtfully, stroking his gray beard, "There is absolutely no way..."

"What way!" Chen Xing grabbed Ramsden's wrist as if he had grabbed the last straw.

Ramsden turned his head slowly and looked into Chen Xing's eyes with a hesitant expression, as if he was thinking about something.

"Please say that as long as I can do it, I will do my best." Chen Xing said seriously.

After a long time, Ramsden's eyes gradually recovered, revealing a gentle, mysterious smile.

"There is a way..." "If, I mean if..." Ramsden emphasized, "You can be the chairman of the Human Survival Commission."

"Ah?" The other party's words were amazing, and Chen Xing was stunned.

"I..." Chen Xing pointed at himself, thinking he had heard the wrong thing, "Be the chairman of the Human Survival Committee?"

"Yes!" Ramsden nodded confidently, "If you can become the next chairman, you will be able to gather the supreme powerhouses in the world, counterattack the undercurrent of time and space, and severely damage the gluttonous monarch!"

Chen Xing's expression suddenly slumped, and he said angrily, "You came all the way here, aren't you kidding me?"

Ramsden put away his smile and said seriously, "Xiaoyou Chen, I'm not joking with you."

"Look at what I am now, I don't have to say how bad my reputation is. I am a lord. I went to be the chairman of the committee and lead the world's supreme powerhouse. Isn't this a joke for the whole world? "

"Chen Xiaoyou, don't belittle yourself..."

Ramsden spoke earnestly, but the parties showed no appreciation.

"I'm not belittling myself, it's because my brain is not filled with water, so I'm not too whimsical."

"Chen Xiaoyou, don't get excited..." Ramsden stroked his gray beard and said slowly, "How about this, let's make a deal..."

Chen Xing was stunned, "What deal?"

Ramsden looked into his eyes and said calmly, "As long as you can end this war, I will accept you as a closed disciple and assist you to ascend to the position of chairman."

Chen Xing's eyes widened and he was dumbfounded. The other party said something amazing again, as if he was talking nonsense after drinking, but the other party was not someone else, but the guardian of the world, a big man who could shake the world by stomping his feet.

"No, this, that..." Chen Xing was a little incoherent in his speech because of his excessive shock.

"Chen Xiaoyou, I'm not kidding you." Ramsden emphasized again.

"No, it's not..." Chen Xing forcibly calmed down, and after some thought, he asked, "Can you tell me why you are intervening in this war?"

He was very strange. According to the practice of the red earth world, the guardian would not intervene in the war between countries, nor would he favor any party.

But now, Ramsden has promised a great price to intervene in the war of the Red Country.

"Because..." Ramsden paused and said in a deep voice, "Our world is facing a huge unknown threat!"

Just the day before yesterday, the World Network Monitoring Center found that there were abnormal energy fluctuations in the zero area of ​​the Black Dead Continent.

As the guardian of the world, after receiving the situation, he immediately opened the portal and went to Area Zero to investigate the situation.

When he approached the center of Zone Zero, a beam of destruction suddenly shot out of the black fog that neither light nor extraordinary perception could penetrate.

The beam contains extremely terrifying power, and the surrounding space is rapidly distorted, as if it can annihilate all matter.

In the nick of time, Ramsden summoned the golden compass to direct the beam to the other side of the world.

Destructible beams are too powerful to be concentrated in one place and cause the local space to shatter. Fortunately, Ramsden's golden compass was able to separate the mirror image, divide the attack into hundreds of parts, and guide it to different no-man's land, which was able to defuse the attack.

After that, Ramsden did not dare to stay, and opened the portal to leave.

There are various signs that human beings are facing a huge foreign threat. The war on the Red Continent must be ended as soon as possible, and all the supreme powers must be united to resolve this crisis.

Ramsden returned to the academy and thought hard for two days, but couldn't think of a suitable solution. It happened that Chen Xing suddenly contacted him today, and his eyes lit up, thinking that the other party might be the best person to solve this problem.

Being able to settle Alia and Triris at the same time has fully proved the strength of the other party.

After hearing Ramsden's thoughts, Chen Xing only felt a pain in his head. Due to the huge amount of information, his head was about to explode.
