My cubs are all vinegar

Ares stood upright outside the door like a pine tree. The floor height of this old low-rent apartment was only [-] meters, and he could almost touch the ceiling with his hands.

In order not to attract attention, Ares put on human costumes.He was wearing a well-tailored windbreaker, and under Nijiu's scrutiny, he tugged at the collar uncomfortably: "Strange?"

Nijiu came back to her senses, and quickly shook her head: "No, it's very beautiful."

After finishing speaking, Nijiu reached out and dragged Ares into the room, and closed the door: "There are too many people outside, so let's talk about it when you come in if you have something to do—put on your shoe covers, or you will leave footprints."

Ares obediently put on the shoe covers prepared by Nijiu, but still did not take his eyes off him.

After confirming that Nijiu was not injured, Ares finally turned his eyes away and scanned the living room.Ryan was swept away by his sharp gaze, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and his back felt a little cold.

He took a step back knowingly, wanting to leave this dangerous place: "You two talk slowly, I won't bother you anymore."

Before Ryan could escape, he was blocked by Qingyan and Harnifin who came out of the room.

Qingyan had already noticed the spiritual power surging outside, and a dark green totem appeared on the back of his hand, ready to attack anyone who came.Harnifin's face was sullen and hostile.

Bandit Yu walked behind Harnifen and Qingyan, he didn't restrain his spiritual power, the spiritual power overflowed everywhere, enveloping the whole house.

After seeing Ares, Bandit Yu's face darkened instantly.

The gods and demons have been hostile for many years, and the God of War has been in constant dispute with the demons.Ares has repeatedly hindered the war of the demons, and even caused them to lose several troops.The soldiers of the Mozu were terrified of this tricky enemy, and Bandit Yu was also very annoyed.

Ares also saw the Demon Lord, and his expression became very ugly.

Although Banditu and Ares have had a long-standing grievance, due to Nijiu's presence, they could only stare at each other silently, not daring to act rashly.

Ares turned his gaze to Nijiu, and spoke first: "Is it safe here?"

When he said this, he glanced at Bandit Yu meaningfully.

However, Nijiu didn't notice his hint: "Don't worry, this apartment is safe, the guards haven't found me yet."

This old apartment was hidden in a residential area in the middle of the downtown area, and there were so many people nearby that the Emperor Star Guards were too lazy to search door to door, so they didn't find Nijiu and others hiding here.

Thinking of this, Nijiu was a little puzzled, and he asked, "Ares, why did you find this apartment?"

"Your coordinates have not been exposed," Ares paused, "I found it following the breath of the soul-leading jade."

Nijiu was even more puzzled: "How do you know that the soul-hunting jade is lost?"

Ares replied, "You told me."

Nijiu was taken aback: "Impossible, I don't even have your contact information—"

His voice stopped abruptly.

A few days ago, when Nijiu was under house arrest by Lawson and asked Bandit Yu for help with "Summoner", she accidentally sent a message for help to Xueyuan Heihu, and received a reply of unknown meaning from the other party.

Nijiu thought that reply was just a system setting and didn't pay attention.

Nijiu recalled this incident, her expression became more and more strange.He looked at Ares, and asked in a low voice, "Are you... the Snowy Black Tiger?"

Ares nodded.

Nijiu's voice was difficult: "The spirit beast in "Summoner"?"

Ares: "Yes."

Nijiu suddenly learned this amazing news, and was a little overwhelmed.

His eyes flicked across the faces of Bandit Yu and the others, and he said in a low voice: "So, Xueyuan Heihu is not an NPC, but a game character manipulated by players..."

The living room was very quiet, and everyone could hear him talking to himself.

Qingyan's pupils suddenly constricted, becoming thinner and longer.He looked around at everyone and pointed to himself: "My identity in the game is 'Mist Shadow Snake', you... are you also spirit beasts?"

Harnifin nodded with a complicated expression: "Well, I'm a crown unicorn."

Bandit Yu: "The White Wolf of Hades."

Listening to their conversation, Nijiu finally understood—not only Bandit Yu and Ares, but every one of his cubs in "Summoner" actually exists in reality.

Nijiu: "..."

What kind of human suffering is this.

Except for Ryan who didn't know why, everyone in the house was silent.Bandit Yu and the others had different expressions. They looked at each other in blank dismay, falling into deathly silence.

After a while, several eyes focused on Nijiu, and the four of them said in unison: "Aren't I your only cub?"

Facing the eyes of the bosses, Nijiu was like a light on his back, and quickly took a step back: "Wait, listen to my explanation!! I don't know what happened!"

They obviously didn't believe Nijiu's nonsense at all, and showed doubtful expressions.

Nijiu couldn't argue, he pushed Harnifin who was standing behind him, walked to the sofa, sat down and rubbed his forehead painfully.

All the cute and cute fluffy in the game have become real people, no matter how big-hearted Nijiu is, she can't bear it.

Mijiu looked around, picked Qingyan who was in a relatively peaceful mood, and asked, "Qingyan, why did you become a character in the game?"

Qingyan's experience is roughly similar to Nijiu's.

A few months ago, he accidentally got a holographic game console produced by humans.Qingyan thought this thing was very interesting, so she turned on the game console and tried it out.When he put on the VR glasses, the "Summoner" interface popped up automatically, and the game began to load.

Qingyan said: "Then, I saw you in the swamp."

Nijito asked: "Is it [Mist Swamp]?"

Qingyan: "Yes."

After asking everyone in turn, Nijiu finally sorted out the ins and outs of the matter.

Like himself, other people were inexplicably involved in the game a few months ago and became his spirit beasts.They didn't know that the other spirit beasts were also real players, and they thought they were all NPCs.

The spiritual power of the soul-drawing jade will make the contracting parties meet in reality. Nijiu speculates that "Summoner" is the medium of the soul-drawing jade. met in

At this time, there was a sound of footsteps in the corridor outside the house.A few seconds later, Jack unlocked the lock and poked his head out through the crack of the door: "Why are you all gathered in the living room? I can hear your voices from outside—"

As he said, he put the large bag of vegetables he just bought on the dining table.Unlike Ryan, who was dull, Jack sensed the solemn atmosphere in the house. He took off his coat and looked at the big men in the house from the corner of his eye.

Jack quietly walked behind Nijito: "Did you offend them?"

noon of the day.

After a few days, Nijiu finally received a text message from the governor.This text message has only one line: [Please do not leave the hiding place, let me know something in the afternoon. ]

For safety reasons, the governor did not specify the specific time in the text message, but only said "afternoon" in general.Nijito squatted in the apartment for three hours, until the sun was setting, and finally heard the sound of knocking on the door.

Outside the door were Samuel and the governor wearing sunglasses and masks.

Behind the two, there were several bodyguards in plain clothes.Holding laser guns, they walked into the house silently, opened the curtains to check the situation outside, and handed Nijiu a bulletproof jacket.

The governor saw a few unfamiliar faces in the apartment, and he was a little suspicious, but he hesitated and walked into the house.

Nijito put on the bulletproof jacket and asked, "You looking for me?"

The governor walked up to Nijiu and whispered to him, "There are too many people here, can we talk elsewhere?"

"It doesn't matter," Nijiu replied, "You just say it, they are all trustworthy friends, and will not disclose this conversation to others."

"Okay, I believe you." The governor took off his sunglasses and mask, and cut straight to the point, "The king closed the 'Wall of Empire'."

Nijiu was stunned.

The "Wall of Empire", also known as the "Galactic Shield", is a one-way protective barrier erected decades ago at the edge of the Milky Way.It is the most powerful defense method of the empire, which can block artificial wormholes and keep the Zerg out of the galaxy.

Due to the huge coverage of the "Empire Wall", after the barrier is closed, it takes 72 hours to fully open.

Without the "Wall of Empire", the galaxy will be completely exposed to the threat of Zerg.The Zerg can freely open wormholes in the Milky Way, bypass military fortresses, and directly attack the Emperor Star.

Nijiu asked, "Why did he do this?"

"The king has had personal contacts with the Zerg many years ago." The governor rubbed his temples, with two dark circles under his eyes, and his face looked tired, "He has given up resistance and wants to surrender to the enemy in exchange for the trust of the Zerg." , to preserve their own property and power."

Nijiu realized the seriousness of the matter: "If you need our help, please feel free to ask, and I will do my best."

Hearing Nijiu's words, the governor was obviously relieved.

"Nijiu, the council will hold a temporary meeting today, and I would like to invite you to attend." The governor sat down in front of you, with sincere eyes, "This meeting will affect the future of the empire, and we all look forward to your attendance."

The governor's tone was very serious, and Nijiu couldn't help but suppress her smile and asked, "What's the issue?"

"Three days ago, I got in touch with the Emperor Star Military District and got their support." The governor explained, "The army has recruited volunteers from the people, and they have surrounded the palace layer by layer. We plan to attack the palace tomorrow and force the king to Take the initiative to abdicate."

Nijiu nodded: "Well, then?"

"Overthrow King Rawson and support you as the new ruler of the empire."

Nijiu: "..."
