I'm not really the lord of the abyss

"...Anyway, this is the exchange student sent by the headquarters."

In the branch hall, a group of people gathered around the table.

Six closed the document with the resume printed in his hand, and introduced the identity of the blond man to them.

What a headache... Xicks frowned secretly.

In fact, he didn't really want to recruit someone who didn't know his background into the branch, especially since the information showed that there seemed to be a big figure in the headquarters standing behind this person.

In this way, the act of assigning him to their small branch seems meaningful. Could it be that the president made an enemy in the headquarters? ...Go and ask later.

Xikes calmed down, rearranged his expression and looked up, then found that the atmosphere on the table seemed a little strange at the moment.

"This, Huo Sen—isn't it?" Gaudi said with a half-smile, "Welcome to our branch."

Huo Sen glanced at Gaudi with a strange expression. If he remembered correctly, he was sent because the other party said he wanted to help him. Why does it look like he is quite hostile to him now?

However, Huo Sen is also in a very uneasy mood now, and there are also things that cannot be said in his heart, and he is not in the mood to pursue Gaudi's wrong for a while.

"I haven't asked for advice yet..." Huo Sen took a deep breath to calm down his violent heartbeat, and subconsciously focused his gaze on the quiet silver-eyed young man at the side, showing a fidgety look again, "You, cough, what's your name?"

The young man with silver eyes raised his eyes lightly, and said lightly, "Lu Mi."

…………so similar.

No matter how you look at it, it looks like it, and the more you look at it, the more it looks like it!

Huo Sen will never forget that scene in the underground not long ago, that silver-blue light and shadow, that power, is still vivid in his mind.

Although just now in front of the branch, the silver-eyed young man calmly rejected the identity he revealed on the spur of the moment, but... Could it be that he really remembered it wrong?

Just as Huo Sen was plunged into self-doubt, with a polite knock on the door, a man who was also very familiar to him walked in.

"Excuse me." The deacon with an unusually handsome face came in and put down the food tray he was holding.

After putting the black tea in front of Lu Mi, the deacon then distributed the remaining cups one by one.

The warm and mellow tea fragrance quickly filled the living room, until after putting down the last cup, the deacon put away the plate unhurriedly, bowed his lips to everyone with ease, and then retreated to the side to wait.

"Oh, Aronfoss, you came just in time, I just happened to be thirsty!" The drowsy Donald took a deep breath, exhaled comfortably, and showed his thumb, "Since you came, our quality of life has really improved." Straight up - still as good as ever!"

It was only when Donald put down his teacup contentedly that he saw the stunned expression on the blond man's face.

"Is there any problem?" Donald scratched his head, thinking that this person is really strange, he has been staring at Lu Mi since he entered the door, and now he looks like he has seen a ghost again.

However, he didn't know how shocked and confused Huo Sen was at the moment!

There's nothing wrong with it, even though it lacks horns and wings—but this person was definitely one of the people who followed behind the gods at that time!

Huo Sen was finally sure that everything was not a coincidence. These were the two beings he saw underground. Maybe the others were here too, but they hadn't shown up yet!

Immediately, this small K8 branch has undergone earth-shaking changes in Huo Sen's eyes.

What kind of remote dilapidated small house is here? This is clearly the hermitage of the gods——

Looking at Lu Mi's unusually calm expression, it seems to have become more meaningful at this time.Even Donald, who looked so stupid in his eyes, became inexplicably unfathomable at this moment... How could ordinary people be so calm before God!

Maybe everything here is a disguise, just like the legend that the gods usually become scavengers on purpose, turning the magnificent palace into a broken hut, and turning gold into stone.All of this may not be what he sees now at all, and everything is just God's test or bad taste.

Huo Sen, who had seen through the "truth" consciously, felt his mouth dry immediately, and he didn't dare to touch the god-given tea on the table, with fine sweat dripping on his forehead.

"You are very nervous." At this time, Lu Mi suddenly said, his tone could not detect any emotion, and he seemed to glance at Aronfoss at the side from the corner of his eye.

Huo Sen shivered as if in stress, wiped his sweat in embarrassment, and muttered, "No, I dare not..."

Lu Mi didn't say anything, but turned to look at the other document left in Xicks's hand, "You seem to have one more thing to say."

"Yes." Six looked at Huo Sen who was acting strangely, and then nodded to Lu Mi, "Since he is an exchange student from the headquarters, he must fulfill the word 'exchange'."

"You mean, we have a chance to go to the headquarters...!" Donald was the first to jump up, his face flushed with excitement.

No wonder he was so excited, you must know that the headquarters of the Transcendents Guild—that is almost the place that all Transcendents dream of going to. It means more and more powerful peers, more top-notch abilities, and more advanced equipment technology...

For many extraordinary people who aim higher and farther, stepping on the stage of this department is the real beginning of their magnificent life.

Even if he failed to stay and work in the headquarters, this experience was enough to save himself, and he would be scrambled by the major branches after being sent back to the place.

However, Xikes had to pour cold water on the other party, "Unfortunately, the above-mentioned call for newcomers this time, only Lu Mi in our branch meets the requirements."

"How could it be so—!" Donald slammed on the table with a "bang", beating his chest and feet, and moaning in frustration.

Xikes shook his head speechlessly, and then said to Lu Mi: "This exchange lasts for half a month. In theory, it is an exchange review between the headquarters and the local excellent seedlings, but if you perform well this time, you may not have stayed in the headquarters to develop. possible."

As he said that, Xix paused, as if hoping to see the excited expression on the face of the silver-eyed young man.However, this expectation came to nothing after all, the young man's face remained unchanged, he just raised his eyebrows slightly in surprise.

Lu Mi: "This time, our branch is not the only one participating in the exchange."

Xikes replied helplessly: "Of course, there are two other branches in the K sector, each of which has been assigned a quota. As for the particularly prosperous places like the A sector, the C sector, and the D sector..., excellent people There are countless sources, and there will be more places, and you may meet these people at that time..."

Speaking of this, Xi Kesi couldn't help showing a little worry, those people may not be easy to get along with.

And just when Xiks was worried that his children who went out might suffer, Lu Mi turned his head and stood up, "I see, I will think about it."

After finishing speaking, the silver-eyed youth left the table directly, as if planning to return to work in the archives room.

Donald, who was buried on the table, kicked his legs, raised his head, and said in disbelief, "...He said, consider?"

Six nodded in a deep voice, "Well, consider it."

Donald: Although but... so cool! !When will he be so calm——!

……

Not long after the meeting ended, Huo Sen finally got rid of the enthusiastic Donald and the slightly guarded Six, and hurriedly knocked on Gaudi's door.

He urgently needs to know what is going on here.

However, when the door was opened, what appeared in front of him was a scene like a joint trial of three courts.And his longing friend, Gaudi, sat on the saddle next to the silver-eyed young man in the center, serving tea and water.

Seeing him appear, Gaudí gave a look of dissatisfaction, "Why are you here now? You have kept your lord waiting for a long time."

Huo Sen: I don't know why... It's not surprising at all!

If all this is as he imagined, if the identity of the young man is true, then Gaudí's "betrayal" is really unexpected, even now he himself...!

Huo Sen glared at Gaudi, took a deep breath, and walked slowly to the silver-eyed youth.

"I think you should know all about it." Lu Mi calmly looked at the blond man in front of him, "Then it's necessary to cover it up."

"I asked directly, who ordered you to come here?" The silver-eyed youth looked at him condescendingly, and there seemed to be no emotion in those eyes.

This scene brought Huo Sen back to that day again, recalling the shock when he first saw each other.

"..."

His heartbeat suddenly accelerated. After a few seconds of silence, Huo Sen lowered his head, "Yes—" as if squeezed out from between his teeth, "...it is [Golden Clock]."

Golden clock?

Lu Mi did not expect that he would hear this answer.

He is no stranger to this name, or in other words, almost all extraordinary people are no stranger to this army.

In the materials in the archive room, it is recorded as if it is popular——

Today's Transcendent Guild headquarters, with the highest status as the president, manages all Transcendent branches in the world together with the auxiliary government groups under it.

Under the President, there are three candidates for succession.If there is no accident, the next president will be born from these three people.

These three people each have their own areas and cronies in charge of management, and a special operations force commanded by one of them is called "Golden Clock".

"Are you a member of the Golden Clock?"

"No," Huo Sen hurriedly replied to Lu Mi's question, "I was just entrusted with a mission by them, and I was regarded as an outside informant who specially provided them with information. Events... Gaudí is more connected to them and collaborates more often than I do.”

Lu Mi glanced at Gaudi who was blank-eyed: Oh, it's all right, he has lost his memory.

In any case, judging from the current situation, what this golden clock is doing at present-just trying to overthrow the Blue Steel Empire, it has to make people vigilant.

Especially since its owner is still a candidate for the next president, what exactly is he trying to do?

If it's just an ordinary political struggle, Lu Mi is not interested in getting involved, just afraid...

He calmed down a little, and looked at the blond man slowly, "It seems that you have already made a decision." Otherwise, he would not have told him these things.

"Yes, I..." A blush appeared on Huo Sen's face, he didn't know whether it was shyness or excitement, and his voice was slightly hoarse, "I have joined the Black Abyss Cult."

Lu Mi: "..."

Didn't you say that earlier?

……

"Ah—" Donald lay on the table and sighed long, "The first day Lu Mi left, I missed him!"

After talking with Huo Sen, Lu Mi finally decided to go to the headquarters of the Transcendent Guild to take a look.

It should be said that it is indeed the unified recruitment of the headquarters, and the franchise countries all over the world have cooperated exceptionally, and even opened up a fast transportation channel dedicated to serving exchange personnel like them.

Now, even the most remote space vehicle is carrying all the personnel from all parties towards the headquarters of the Saint Vanduo Empire at double speed.

These specialized aircraft will stop at the well-informed stations and bring the exchange students from the star sectors they pass along the way.

Nearly 30 extraordinary people have gathered on the aircraft that Lu Mi was riding on.

However, everyone is not familiar with each other, and at most people from the same star region gather together in twos and threes.Only a very small number of quick-thinking people have met each other, have become familiar with most people, and led the team to organize exchanges and understanding among all parties.

Amber is one of these talented people who have both ways.He came from a top-ranked branch, with good talent and a well-known family background.

At this moment, Anbo was sitting on his seat, and suddenly asked a person he just met beside him: "As far as I know, the strongest person here should be the sixth-level transcendent from the C7 star area, right?"

"Isn't it?" The man leaned over and looked at the front of the aircraft from a distance. The subject of the topic was a tall man surrounded by a group of people, "As a newcomer, this talent is enough even in the headquarters. Be seen by a certain adult at the headquarters..." The words were full of envy.

However, Ambow flicked the rota card in his hand and frowned slightly.

... No, the key card with the white star reversed indicates that he will meet an important noble person during this trip, but that person is not the obvious person in his mind at the moment.

"That person is too strange..." At this moment, a person sitting in front of him muttered softly, "Which one of us is so excited that he still wants to fall asleep?"

Ambow's attention was suddenly attracted by this sentence, and he subconsciously looked into the corner——

Sitting there was a young man who had a flying machine earlier than all of them, which meant that the other party came from the front part of the route, one of the few extraordinarily remote star regions.

More importantly, since the other party got on the aircraft, he has been sleeping under the cover of a book that he took at hand, which made people who wanted to talk to him several times have to stop.

Ambow looked at the cards in his hand, frowned tightly at the young man taking a nap, and fell into deep thought.

In the current K8 branch, Donald is still guessing where Lu Mi will go for this internship.

"I don't know which department I will be assigned to, the General Academy of Sciences? The General Medical Department?" Donald's eyes became brighter and brighter, "Or the assault force!?"

"Neither." Six raised his head from the pile of documents, adjusted his glasses, with inaudible worry, "It's the most troublesome place in the world, and the place with the most accidents in recent years—"

"!" Donald seemed to realize something, the corners of his mouth froze, and he turned his head a little bit, "Could it be..."

On the other side, as the aircraft slowly stopped, Lu Mi finally woke up from his half-sleep.

It's not his fault, as long as he stays on this kind of rickety vehicle, whether it's a ship or an aircraft, he will especially want to sleep, and the quality of sleep will be qualitatively improved.

The book on his face fell off with a "crash", and Lu Mi felt a strong gaze falling on him, but he didn't pay attention, and instead looked out the window——

A huge and unprecedented building appeared outside the window.

The high copper wall and iron wall required him to look up specially, but he couldn't fully see the top.

What's even more bizarre is that the entire building complex is suspended in mid-air by countless thick black chains and placed on a cliff.There are countless small ferocious demon-style buildings around it, and the overall shape is an inverted pyramid.

Among the cliffs, you can vaguely see the elevator leading to the building running up and down, but it looks so small in the boundless high cliffs and mountain streams.

Surprised exclamations came from all around, and these proud sons from the various chapters seemed to be shocked by the impact of this rough and cold style.

At the same time, the hatch opened slowly, and an electronic sound came from the top——

"This voyage has reached its destination. The current time is 2277.8.26, 14:22 in the new calendar. The weather is fine."

"Exchange transcendents from the major star regions, hello."

"—Welcome to the Great Prison of Tartarus."
