What on earth wants to see ?
Hearing Xie Antong's words, Lu Ce instantly realized sothing was off. How did it feel like the main topic got sidetracked?
This kind of thing is just a minor detail...
Perhaps it was because Xie Antong had absorbed more Pleasure now, making her bolder in her actions. Her emotional expression was relatively direct, and she didn't have the sa timidity as before when facing "Sin".
But Lu Ce still steered the conversation back, opening his mouth to say:
"Grand Elder, who is that?"
We're already in modern society, how can there still be a title like "Elder"?
"Are you not thinking clearly? Didn't I just talk to you last ti about the Dragon Group's Grand Elder, Nie Jiu Tian."
"He even risked his life to help you inside the Ga."
After saying this, Xie Antong paused to think for a mont, a bit unsure whether their desperate effort to block the Godslayer Spike alongside Nie Jiu Tian could truly be counted as help.
Wouldn't piercing his head earlier have made that 【Agony】 co out sooner?
Tsk...
"Oh, him."
Only after Xie Antong gave a specific description did Lu Ce rember who this person was. He tapped his own head; he might genuinely be getting a bit forgetful.
If the Ga's repair on him was a perfect repair, then his current brain state could only be due to the mask.
And this is just the most ordinary state, yet it's already starting to have this kind of effect.
Seems like he should wear it more often to get used to it.
"Why does he suddenly want to see ? Does he know about our relationship?"
"He probably already had his suspicions long ago, at the very least he knows I can find you," Xie Antong said.
"As for eting you, he said the Ga's current situation is very special, you are very key, and there are so things he needs to discuss with you."
"You just said he helped in the Ga? After my Sloth mask overloaded in the last ga, what exactly happened? Tell ."
Xie Antong had already replayed this kind of thing countless tis in her head while he was sleeping. She imdiately nodded, recalling as she recounted the main events.
"That's roughly it. After that Agony in your head ca out, I didn't know anything anymore."
"For the complete story, Perfect Life probably knows more. He should have stayed conscious the whole ti, but unfortunately, I couldn't reach him. He doesn't reply to ssages in the Ga."
Lu Ce nodded. This Chosen of Agony status of his was his most unknown elent; he could only piece things together based on this information.
"So, do you plan to et him? If you do, then we'll get ready and set off."
"Sure, let's et."
Surprisingly, Lu Ce agreed to this eting request.
From the sound of it, this Grand Elder seems to be a genuinely capable existence from the previous era, not quite like those good-for-nothings from the Illuminati.
He might know a lot of things, and what's more, the other party actively helped him.
"Alright, then let try first." Xie Antong nodded, stepping forward and extending her hand towards Lu Ce, signaling for him to take it.
"You're going to use that Heartward Drift skill of yours?" Lu Ce frowned slightly. "Are you sure you can take soone along?"
"Not sure, but I think we can try. It's a good chance to see how this skill's targeting works."
"After all, when I teleport, the clothes on my body are still there."
"Ready?"
...
In front of the passage leading to the Dragon Group's basent, Nie Jiu Tian stood quietly. He had already cleared out all personnel from the Dragon Group; today, he was the only one here.
Suddenly, his brow twitched slightly. He seed to sense sothing in his heart and looked in a certain direction.
The next second, the light before his eyes distorted. Blurred, two human figures slowly materialized.
"Here?"
Xie Antong, holding Lu Ce's hand, nodded slightly, looking sowhat weak. It seed taking one person along was already her upper limit.
"Your skill is indeed impressive, but you need to be more careful with its usage. There's still a relatively noticeable ntal premonition."
Clearly, Xie Antong had already t the Grand Elder before. Now, coming again, he could already sense it in advance based on the targeting thod.
Then, the Grand Elder's sowhat withered fra turned around to look at the masked Lu Ce beside him.
The two locked eyes. This was likely the first eting between the strongest individuals of two consecutive eras!
"Finally eting you, it truly wasn't easy, mysterious Strongest Player!"
"To see you, this injured old man has been standing here waiting for over an hour."
His tone carried a hint of appreciation and teasing.
Lu Ce also replied very politely:
"It's no trouble, it's what should be done."
"Wait, no. Shouldn't the right thing to say here be 'thank you for your hard work'? What do you an 'what should be done'?"
"My apologies, I've long heard of your esteed na... Second Elder."
"It should be Grand Elder!"
Lu Ce originally felt his dissociative identity disorder had improved quite a bit, but as soon as he arrived here, sized up this Grand Elder, and started thinking and judging, he imdiately had a relapse.
Grand Elder: ?
Watching this guy who inexplicably started communicating with himself, he was also stunned.
eting in person is better than hearing the reputation. This first real contact with this Strongest Player revealed that his condition was even more severe than imagined.
"Quiet."
Slapping his own forehead hard, Lu Ce shook his head, regaining a stable state of mind.
"Sorry."
He was starting to understand. In his current state, as long as he didn't engage in detailed thinking, it should be fine. Once he needed to mobilize more brainpower, his thoughts would start fighting.
"It's fine." Nie Jiu Tian, looking at the mask on Lu Ce's face, instantly realized the other's abilities had probably evolved again.
...
Grand Elder led the way in front, with Lu Ce and Xie Antong following behind, winding through this passage that resembled an underground nuclear defense facility.
"The place is a bit maze-like, but considering we're receiving guests, I still ca out to et you. Also, I already said I wouldn't pry into your affairs, so why did you leave sothing for this old man when you ca last ti?"
As he spoke, Nie Jiu Tian took out two tiny tal spheres from his hand and tossed them backward.
The two previously disconnected All-Seeing Eyes returned to their positions. Xie Antong's expression remained unchanged, her face showing no sign of awkwardness. It seed her ntal fortitude had also grown.
"The place we're going to is the Dragon Group's Elder Chamber, which usually only Dragon Group Elders can enter."
After traversing all the elevators and circular corridors, passing through a straight passage, they soon arrived before a simple wooden door.
"Mr. Strongest Player, you will be the third person to co here."
"The third?" Lu Ce asked, puzzled.
"The first is the young lady beside you. The second... appears to be a foreign friend."
As he spoke, the door opened. Inside, a man with golden hair and golden pupils, exceptionally handso, turned around in response.
