(Also, the author isn't very good at writing angst because reading too many tragic stories makes them prone to cardiac arrest from anger, and the author also has a heart condition.)

"Wake up, the meeting is starting."

"What? The teacher is here? Class is starting?" It sounded like someone was calling her. Chen Xi's mind went blank. She wanted to go back to sleep, but the signals her brain received made her afraid to sleep.

"Yes, the real body has arrived." The owner of the voice had a mischievous thought of teasing him.

"Holy crap!" Chen Xi was jolted awake from his sleep. He straightened his clothes, got out of bed, and respectfully apologized to Dotole, who was standing at the door.

"Teacher, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."

Dotole: "You really like scholars?"

Chen Xi naturally dared not mention the time he had insulted him, since the slice was equivalent to him: "Yes, treat him with the same respect and deference as you."

Dotole asked with interest, "Then why did you insult him?"

Chen Xi didn't dare look him in the eye, and explained with her head down, "This is a blasphemous thing, I would never dare to do it, he must have misheard!"

He couldn't help but chuckle.

"What are you laughing at, teacher?"

Dotole said in a nonchalant tone, "You've already committed an act of insubordination; it's nothing to you to curse him a few times."

"The student really didn't do it on purpose!" The more he said this, the more threatened Chen Xi felt.

"Wait...you're a scholar?!" Chen Xi realized that the person's tone of voice was very familiar, very much like that of a "scholar".

"...What's the matter?" Quite clever, he saw through it immediately.

"You liar!" Chen Xi instantly bristled, like a kitten baring its teeth and claws.

"Just kidding, it's fun."

The "scholar" gently stroked his head, soothing the ruffled kitten.

……

“The earring on your right ear looks nice!” Chen Xi stared at the cylindrical earring on his right earlobe, which contained an unidentified blue liquid.

"You want it? You dare to ask for this? You've got some nerve."

"Mmm-hmm!" Chen Xi's eyes lit up as she nodded a few times.

"So—what price will you pay?" His voice was incredibly seductive, like the whisper of a demon demanding a price from the boy. But his voice actor is Wu Lei, lol.

Chen Xi thought for a moment and replied, "How about a hug?"

"Okay, come closer." The boy stepped forward and hugged the demon, trying to warm him, but he could smell the bloody scent that the demon couldn't completely conceal.

The boy thought the demon had killed someone outside again: "The smell of blood? What bad thing have you done this time?"

The demon greedily inhaled the fragrance emanating from the boy: "Just dealt with a few traitors within the organization."

Chen Xi: "Judging from your calm and collected demeanor, you should be fine."

"Scholar": "Something's wrong. The main body has arrived, along with other slices."

Chen Xi was instantly frightened and shrank into his arms: "Can I not go out?"

"No."

"Then... protect me." I hope I won't be torn to pieces by them.

"If you're scared, hide behind me."

"No, I feel safest here." The large cloak covered his body, leaving only his head exposed, which made him feel very safe.

If Grandpa Zhong were here, I would feel even safer, especially with that shield; once you put it on, you'd be instantly crippled.

The scholar replied helplessly, "I'll do whatever you say."

Chen Xi looked at him expectantly: "And your earrings?"

The "scholar" took off the earring from his right earlobe and placed it in Chen Xi's hand: "Here you go..." Who told him to spoil his pet?

"I'm scared..." The thought of 23 slices staring at me, wanting to use me for experiments, and that I couldn't even fight them off, was terrifying.

"I am here."

……

Chen Xi tugged at her cloak, refusing to walk any further: "Scholar brother, do you really have to go?"

The scholar pulled him into his arms again: "You absolutely must go."

"Fine..." I'll just wait to die... I don't care anymore...

……

conference hall

Although it's called a conference hall, it's actually a temporary space set up with various experimental equipment on display.

Upon hearing footsteps, all twenty-four pairs of eyes turned to the "scholar" and Chen Xi, their meanings unclear.

They all look almost identical, making it difficult to distinguish which one is the original.

The younger-looking slice joked, "Where did the original get these lab rats from?"

"You're the guinea pig!" Chen Xi retorted, sticking her head out.

The young man looked him up and down: "Wow, you've got quite a temper."

An aged voice, though strong, rang out from the crowd: "How about I have this child?"

Dottore (his true form) flatly refused: "No, he is now the twelfth seat."

Another person, who looked to be only thirty years old, remarked, "You've been promoted quite quickly."

Chen Xi, quick to speak, couldn't help but retort: ​​"What? You have a problem with that? I got this position through my own abilities!"

The man, who was about the same age as Chen Xi, asked, "Can you come with me?"

Chen Xi resolutely refused: "No!"

...and then he couldn't control himself and made a dozen or so comments on the slides, successfully offending most of the slides with his words.

The "scholar" reminded him not to offend anyone anymore, otherwise he really wouldn't be able to fight back: "Don't speak yet, be quiet."

"You..." Chen Xi realized that it was a "scholar" and took back the words she was about to say.

His audacious behavior successfully attracted the attention of the strongest omega: "I'm going to take this test subject!"

Ten swords enveloped in wind elemental power appeared beside Chen Xi, hovering in the air, ready to attack at any moment: "You can try!"

Omega: "Still not listening. It seems your experiment wasn't completely successful. Let me help you."

"What?!" You really are...

Omega: "Judging from your expression, you don't seem to know anything about it."

"What nonsense!" Chen Xi controlled the sword to stab him, and then summoned three rocks to predict where he would dodge and smash them down.

However, he was not injured; instead, some of the laboratory equipment was successfully damaged, stirring up dust.

Seeing that the experimental equipment was damaged, Dotole (his main body) was furious and wanted to go to him for more funds: "Enough! If you want to fight, go outside and fight!"

"Sweetie, stop hitting me."

"Oh..." Chen Xi retracted the sword that was tracking the omega and nestled in the "scholar's" arms. To be honest, the large cloak was quite gentle.

Dotore (the original body): "Then who has the right to reclaim it?"

"Mine!" x24

Chen Xi clung tightly to his arm: "I don't care, I'm going to follow the scholar!"

"No, he's too dangerous!"

"I disagree!"

"you are mine!"

……

These people all seem to be vying to be used as experimental subjects...

This is not a good sign. Twenty-four madmen! We need to find a way to lure them away and then find the Queen ourselves to leave.

Chen Xi wanted to wait until they were fighting fiercely before sneaking away with the "scholar": "How about you guys have a fight? The winner can take me away?"

Dotore (the main body): "You're going to take responsibility if the lab gets damaged? These equipment are very expensive."

"Scholar": "Let's resolve this through peaceful means."

Chen Xi subconsciously uttered the word: "Negotiation?"

Scholar: "Yes."

Slice: "The students the main body recruited are somewhat intelligent." However, they also put themselves in danger.
