Chapter 135: Surprising Purpose

Mingxi dared not relax in the slightest; all she could do now was wait.

As soon as Liu Yong’s Magnetic Wave Lizard joined the attack on Golden Yuanbao, she had already dialed the police.

As long as the police who received the alert reacted quickly enough, they should be rescued.

But what if, she said what if!

If, unfortunately, they encountered justice that was delayed but arrived, she hoped it would be a permanent employee.

Steady.

“You raise your hands above your head and retreat fifty meters away from us.”

Wei Yangang said nothing and obediently raised his hands, slowly backing away.

Ten meters, twenty meters... thirty meters...

As the opponent was about to reach the designated position, Mingxi’s heart suddenly pounded, and an unknown scent quickly wafted into her nostrils.

Not good!

She still fell for it!

The moment this thought arose, her body already collapsed weakly.

“Lei Lei!”

Before completely losing consciousness, the image of Golden Yuanbao lunging forward desperately was reflected in her eyes.

Cracked wounds, scattered blood.

...

In the dim, dilapidated basement, only the light above flickered with a faint electrical buzzing sound.

“Golden Yuanbao!”

Mingxi was startled awake by a nightmare.

In the dream, Golden Yuanbao, who was cruelly cut into pieces, scared her so much that her mammary glands developed nodules.

She gasped and opened her eyes wide, her brain feeling as if a thousand needles were pricking it, making her forehead covered in cold sweat from the pain.

The memory before losing consciousness resurfaced.

That middle-aged man indeed had a backup plan!

She must have been hit by a skill from a Transcendent creature.

It should be a skill similar to Lotus Generation, which has a strong hypnotic effect.

She forced herself to calm down and began to observe her surroundings.

The first ◆ Nоvеlіgһt ◆ (Only on Nоvеlіgһt) thing that caught her eye was the dusty ceiling and an old, somewhat dated light bulb.

The surrounding walls were also bare concrete, not even plastered.

The air was stuffy and a bit humid.

It was clear at a glance that no one had ever lived or taken care of it.

The entire room contained nothing but a bed, a lamp, and an iron door.

Clearly, she had been kidnapped.

But for some reason, the kidnappers, besides locking her up, did not tie her up.

Did they firmly believe she absolutely couldn’t escape?

Golden Yuanbao was not by her side.

What made her even more uneasy was that she not only couldn’t feel Golden Yuanbao’s aura but also failed when trying to use the power of the contract to recall Golden Yuanbao to the Pet Space.

Something must have happened to Golden Yuanbao!

When even the power of the contract cannot sense the existence of a pet, there are only three possibilities.

Either the pet is dead, or the pet is not within the summoning range, or something is shielding the power of the contract between them.

Mingxi did not believe Golden Yuanbao was dead, so it must be the latter two possibilities.

Mingxi regretted it so much she wanted to bang her head against the ground.

She shouldn’t have asked Golden Yuanbao’s opinion at the time; if she had just recalled it to the Pet Space, wouldn’t they all be reunited?!

Too indulgent!

But now, it was too late to regret.

She also found that her personal terminal and spatial button were gone.

Great! No way to ask for help.

“Mingxi, don’t panic! Panic will only make things worse!”

She kept admonishing herself in her mind.

Just as she was about to get up, clear footsteps came from outside.

Mingxi quickly lay back down and closed her eyes, controlling her breathing and heart rate.

Soon, two people walked in, one after the other.

The former’s footsteps were heavy and slow.

The latter’s footsteps were very light; Mingxi guessed the person behind should be the middle-aged man.

So, would the one in front be the ‘boss’ he spoke of?

The two quickly stood by the dilapidated bed where Mingxi was lying.

“...Didn’t we agree to send her directly to Ye City? Why is she still in Henglong City? Is this place safe?”

It was a slightly cool young voice, and it also sounded a bit familiar.

Mingxi had a good memory, and her hearing was even more exceptional.

If she wasn’t mistaken, the owner of this voice was the male student named Jiang Yuning whom she had encountered during the Limit Tower assessment challenge.

Although he hadn’t directly spoken to her, he used his mouth to give commands.

So, the middle-aged man’s boss was him?

What a wonderful coincidence?

At this moment, the other person spoke unhurriedly: “There was a slight accident in the previous operation, allowing Mingxi to successfully call the police. Now the entire city has police patrolling and setting up controls, so it’s temporarily inconvenient to send her to Ye City.”

“Don’t worry, once I make arrangements, I will immediately transfer her, ensuring no problems arise.”

It was indeed that middle-aged man.

“As long as you know what you’re doing.”

“By the way, when can the surgery be performed? Will it start as soon as she’s transferred?”

Mingxi was startled again; what did he mean by surgery?

Could it be that they kidnapped her for some organ transplant?

“Not necessarily, some preparation might still be needed.”

“Specific time.”

“No later than the day after tomorrow afternoon, I suppose.”

“It’s a deal!”

The two remained silent in place for another minute, and Mingxi could clearly feel their scrutinizing gazes.

Like the gaze of someone picking pork.

“When will she wake up?”

“Around five or six o’clock. She was affected by Qimeng Elf combined with Youye Xiang’s chaotic dream, so she needs at least five hours of sleep.”

Qimeng Elf, an Advanced Level Demon-type pet, is said to have a disposition even darker and more uncontrollable than the Demon-type, with an extremely strong destructive urge.

Mingxi remembered that this type of pet almost always had the ability to turn invisible.

So, the Qimeng Elf had been secretly invisible all along, which was why she fell for it unknowingly?

However, judging by the middle-aged man’s words, she should still be asleep for a long time.

Then, why was she able to wake up early?

“Notify me when she wakes up.”

“Notify you for what? What? Does Young Master Jiang want to come over and bond with her?

I thought you specifically followed us all the way to Henglong City just to ensure the mission went smoothly?”

Wei Yangang glanced at the gloomy young man with a half-smile.

Jiang Yuning returned his gaze, “Can’t I meet her?”

“Of course you can, that’s your freedom.” Wei Yangang shrugged, “Your Pet Spaces are about to be swapped, so it’s good to get to know each other better.”

Mingxi was horrified.

Swapping Pet Spaces?

The surgery they spoke of was actually swapping Pet Spaces!

Even with Mingxi’s wildest imagination, she wouldn’t have thought that their purpose for kidnapping her would be this!

Can Pet Spaces actually be exchanged?

How would they exchange them? By opening up their brains and entering their consciousness to swap?

Mingxi even wanted to perform a Pan Zhou Dan walk for them on the spot.

This was too outrageous.

Even at 29, she couldn’t understand it.

At this moment, Mingxi’s heart was like an electric motor.

Want to control it?

Sorry, there was no on/off switch to be found.

Fortunately, Wei Yangang and Jiang Yuning were too busy chatting and didn’t pay attention to her, otherwise, they would have discovered she was already awake.

“My Pet Space isn’t bad actually; it’s just that compared to Yan Yueying and Moonlight Lulu, I prefer Lei Yan Great Wind.”

Wei Yangang smiled, noncommittally.

Whether it’s bad or not, don’t you know it yourself?

At a time like this, why force yourself to save face?

As if no one knows your situation.
