A fear that was enough to freeze his soul exploded in his brain, his mouth widened, and his heart even temporarily stopped for a moment.
Lucifer has been out there all this time?
After leaving the office, he never left, and he still maintained such an exaggerated eavesdropping attitude?
Reinhardt's scalp was numb. In his eyes, Lucifer was simply a neurotic pervert.
No, that is a more complicated feeling than facing a pervert.
"Where to..."
Lucifer continued to ask, with a smile on his face, looking very happy and extremely weird.
"It's...it's time to get off work."
Reinhardt forced a smile in response, and after a brief stagnation, his heart began to beat at an unprecedented frequency, rapidly and frequently.
He suddenly felt lucky that he was sensible enough.
At least after Lucifer left, he didn't say anything against Lucifer, let alone test the person he wanted to test, otherwise he would have doubted whether he could leave the building alive.
This was originally his building.
He should be the absolute master here.
But just because of Lucifer's existence, Reinhardt couldn't find the so-called sense of security at all. He just wanted to leave quickly and go see Jiang Shangyu.
Reinhardt knew that something was wrong with his current state, and he shouldn't have been so excited when talking to Jiang Shangyu on the phone, but he simply couldn't control the urgent emotion in his heart.
So even if he knew that the next meeting with Jiang Shangyu would definitely make him talk loudly, it didn't matter. He still had to go and talk, and even if he had to pay a lot, he still wanted Jiang Shangyu to truly stay in Star Country.
.
This is a cooperation and a transaction. It is best to conclude the next negotiation tonight.
Because something is really wrong with Lucifer.
This was originally a huge breakthrough for them in life transformation, the most proud achievement in this field, and the most powerful super weapon.
But things are different now. The so-called super weapon seems to be out of control.
The current Lucifer is completely a devil, a devil, and an unknown monster in Reinhardt's eyes.
The only good thing is that this monster personally admitted not long ago that he is no match for Li Tianlan in a head-on life-and-death fight.
Reinhardt believed he was telling the truth.
Otherwise, with his greed for the so-called 'food', if he was sure that he could kill Li Tianlan without relying on the Star Kingdom, there would be no need for him to submit applications to the parliament several times.
Li Tianlan now represents the limit of individual destructive power in this era.
No matter how unknown Lucifer is, at least for now, his strength is below Li Tianlan.
And coincidentally, Jiang Shangyu's strength is also lower than Li Tianlan.
So it was only fitting that he took the initiative to contact Reinhardt.
Reinhardt hopes to stabilize Jiang Shangyu in the shortest possible time and use him to check and balance Lucifer. Relatively speaking, this is the best situation.
"Where are you going..."
Lucifer asked a question repeatedly.
His eyes were so agile that they were not human-like, and his pupils moved randomly, as if he was scanning Reinhardt's entire body.
Every pore in Reinhardt's body was feeling chilly. He barely leaned on the door frame to maintain his balance: "I'm going to... go have dinner..."
He tried to keep calm, but his voice kept trembling.
Somehow he had an intuition that if he really angered the monster in front of him, death might be the lightest price to pay.
"delicious!"
Lucifer's pupils turned faster: "You have delicious food there, right?"
Reinhardt's teeth trembled violently.
For a moment, he didn't know how to define what was delicious.
If he guessed correctly...
Jiang Shangyu himself seems to be the one who tastes delicious in Lucifer's eyes?
Reinhardt's brows twitched, and his whole person became a little anxious.
He didn't want Jiang Shangyu to have sex with Lucifer on the first day he entered Star Kingdom.
If this happens, let alone sincerity, Jiang Shangyu will even think that this is an ambush by Xingguo.
The key is that Reinhardt can't even explain clearly when the time comes, and the situation will undoubtedly get worse.
Although individual invincibility is not truly unsolvable, why should people who can happily cooperate with each other have to become hostile?
Xingguo can come up with something to kill Li Tianlan, and naturally it can also come up with something to kill Jiang Shangyu, but this is the core trump card. If possible, who is willing to provoke an individual combat power of Jiang Shangyu's level?
Reinhardt looked at Lucifer intentionally or unintentionally, feeling a little awe-inspiring in his heart.
No one in Star Kingdom wants to provoke Jiang Shangyu.
But Lucifer is definitely willing.
If Lucifer really lost control, then from his standpoint at this time, he should be the least welcome person to Jiang Shangyu's arrival.
As long as Jiang Shangyu doesn't come, there will be almost no one to check and balance his unscrupulous situation here.
"Should we use Jiang Shangyu to test it out?"
An instinctive thought flashed through Reinhardt's heart.
Take Lucifer there. If there is a conflict between the two, see what the specific attitude of the people on your side is.
If they support Lucifer, it means that those giants have really become the puppets of this monster, and the situation will be clear.
If they support Jiang Shangyu, it at least means that the situation is not so bad.
But after all, this was just an idea, and as soon as it surfaced, it was completely killed by Reinhardt.
"Let's go and eat something delicious...uh...something delicious...hehehe..."
Lucifer had already begun to tug at Reinhardt's sleeves.
Reinhardt hesitated for a moment, then finally said: "Your Excellency Lucifer, this may not be convenient."
Lucifer paused and looked at Reinhardt.
All the strange light in his eyes disappeared, replaced by an unprecedented clarity: "You want to eat delicious food and don't want to take me with you?"
The tail note of his voice rose slightly, which was obviously Lucifer's original voice, but to Reinhardt's ears, it sounded like a somewhat dissatisfied woman.
He became more and more uncomfortable, but he tried his best to maintain a serious expression: "This time I want to entertain a friend of mine. It is really not very convenient. If you don't mind, I can invite you alone tomorrow."
How about dinner?"
"That's it..."
Lucifer murmured to himself, seeming a little disappointed, and then he suddenly laughed again, very brightly: "Well, don't forget your promise, I won't bother you."
Reinhardt was stunned, as if he didn't expect Lucifer to accept it so easily, and hesitated slightly.
"Hey, why aren't you leaving yet? Go quickly, go quickly."
Lucifer began to urge.
Reinhardt smiled reluctantly and walked from the corridor towards the elevator.
The elevator door opened.
Reinhardt pretended to be calm and walked in. Intentionally or unintentionally, he glanced in the direction of his office at the end of the corridor.
At the end of his sight, Lucifer was still standing outside his office door.
He was no longer in an upright posture, but bent over, putting his head against the door of the empty office, smiling strangely, as if he was listening to something.
His eyes were also looking straight in the direction of the elevator.
Staring hard at Reinhardt.
Staring hard.
Silent and breathless.
The voice-activated light in the corridor went out.
The corridor was dark.
"Bang bang bang..."
Reinhardt's arms were trembling as he frantically pressed the elevator's door button.
...
"Do you want to?"
The questions of another self kept echoing in my mind, chattering endlessly, like a repeater.
Jiang Shangyu did it silently and didn't answer for a while.
Because there is no answer.
Not only did he not have the answer in his mouth, but he also had no answer in his heart.
He and he are both Jiang Shangyu. If Jiang Shangyu has a clear answer in his heart, whether he agrees or refuses, the voice in his head will stop.
But there is no yes or no, so the voice in my head keeps asking: "Are you willing?"
Jiang Shangyu felt that he should be very angry.
The other self actually asked himself to be transformed by Star Kingdom and become a super weapon.
To some extent, this is a betrayal of oneself.
But the problem is that he can't feel his anger at all.
Because the other person thinks it's okay to do this, he himself will also feel it's okay to do it.
But he still resisted instinctively.
"It's actually not a big deal."
The black-robed voice echoed in his mind: "In the field of super weapon transformation, their technology is better than that of Zhongzhou, because they are ruthless and cruel enough and dare to pay the price. This kind of technology originally requires a large amount of
It is accumulated by life, Xingguo has succeeded, and the technology is now considered mature. When it comes to you, the risk is very small or even negligible.
And after the transformation, you can still live a normal life. Only when necessary, you can activate the command and you will become an emotionless super weapon.
I will personally monitor the process of your transformation, and I will personally control your instructions. If I die, no one will be able to control you anymore. As for me, there is no need to talk about trust issues.
"
There is really no need to talk about so-called trust between him and him.
Because no one will distrust themselves.
Let yourself control yourself, this statement can be accepted by both of them at the same time.
But Jiang Shangyu still had no answer in his heart.
On the one hand, he felt that this was nothing, but on the other hand, he felt that something was wrong.
Eating in silence, he said calmly: "After accepting the transformation, how strong will my strength be?"
"You are now in the half-step invincible state, and you are the top one. After undergoing the transformation, the worst result is not weaker than Lucifer. And when our connection exists, your comprehensive combat power can even vaguely surpass the peak invincible state.
.
This is the worst result.
The best result is that Star Kingdom has made a huge breakthrough in technology after transforming Lucifer. In this way, your destructive power can even reach my level, but... this kind of thing doesn't matter if you think about it.
It’s impossible. Even if there is such a technology, they won’t let you use it, so the worst result is the best result.”
The black robe smiled.
"The pinnacle of invincibility..."
Jiang Shangyu murmured to himself.
This was once the pinnacle of his desire for a certain period of time.
At that time, Wang Tianzong, Lin Fengting, and Li Kuangtu were all at this level.
And Gu Xingyun is only close to this level.
This level is the highest peak of the dark world.
But since when did this realm become so worthless? He actually felt a little dissatisfied when he heard that he could approach or even truly compete with this level after undergoing transformation.
"Because of Li Tianlan."
The black-robed voice said calmly: "He has raised the upper limit of the martial arts level in the dark world. If we look into the details, even if Wang Tianzong was able to break through in the Snow Country, he borrowed Li Tianlan's original sword intention, and at the same time Situ Wanjie made him experience
He only stood in that realm after having to risk life and death. Without Li Tianlan, the current dark world would not be like this.
But having said that, although he has raised the upper limit of martial arts, the peak level of invincibility is not worthless. You can't think that the world is a billionaire just because you see the world's richest man.
In fact, in today's dark world, not to mention the Peak Invincible Realm, even the Peak Thunder Realm can be considered a big shot, as long as you follow the rules and order that the East Palace will soon establish."
He was silent for a moment and sneered: "And what we have to do is to replace the Eastern Palace and formulate our own rules."
"It requires effort on your part, but it's also worth it."
Jiang Shangyu said expressionlessly: "Even if I accept it, a peak invincible person may be a so-called big shot, but he cannot face Li Tianlan.
Facing Li Tianlan, what do you and I mean?"
"Don't you understand?"
The black robe frowned: "What I want is not just for you to undergo transformation. In fact, what I want is to control the entire angel group. But Xingguo will not agree, so I will change my request and ask Xingguo to tailor it for me.
Create a group of angels, and you will become the leader of the new group.
When the time comes, Star Kingdom will give us not only a batch of super weapons, but also their standard equipment. Such a regiment... I can say it bluntly, if you let me train for a period of time, at the right opportunity,
I'm even confident of killing Li Tianlan.
Even if we can't kill them, with such a group of kings in hand, the Eastern Palace won't be able to establish any new dynasty in the short term."
Jiang Shangyu frowned, and just as he was about to say something, there was a sudden knock on the door of the box.
Reinhardt has arrived.
Jiang Shangyu looked at the food in front of him and said calmly: "Please come in."
The black robe in his mind suddenly fell silent.
The door of the box was pushed open.
Reinhardt, who looked a little pale and seemed to be in a somewhat abnormal mental state, walked in.
He forced an ugly smile and said apologetically: "Sorry, Jiang, I'm late."
After he left the building, he did not rush over immediately. Instead, he asked the driver to circle around the area five or six times to confirm again and again that Lucifer was not following him before he came here cautiously.
"It doesn't matter."
Jiang Shangyu smiled very gently: "For me now, time is not valuable. We can have a good talk. Wait a moment and I will order again."
"No need."
Reinhardt waved his hand tiredly, saw the white wine on the table, hesitated, poured himself half a glass, and drank it all in one gulp.
The spicy smell of wine made him take a deep breath, and his pale face became rosy.
"No need to order. I have no appetite. We can have a good talk, but we need to change the place."
Reinhardt took a deep breath and said softly: "But before that, I want to make a small request.
Jiang, I have my responsibilities. In my opinion, this request is the prerequisite for us to continue talking. If you don't agree, there is no need for us to talk."
Does such a request mean that he immediately fights for the Star Kingdom? Or even goes to Central Continent to assassinate Li Tianlan?
Jiang Shangyu silently thought about various possibilities in his mind, but the smile on his face did not change at all: "Tell me what you want."
Reinhardt looked at him deeply, with a solemn expression on his face, and said in a deep voice: "Jiang, I hope you can take over the Angel Corps! And the sooner the better!"
