Chapter 20 Greed is the cornerstone of progress, but be careful of the price!
Looking at the heavily guarded research institute in front of him, Grot raised his hand, and his whole body instantly shrank into a life-size form similar to that of a Jockdar star.
However, although his form has changed, the murderous aura he released has not restrained at all!
"Intruder!"
"Stop!"
"Otherwise, we will open fire!"
As the most important institution of the Chokdal civilization, the daily protection measures of the Chokdal Empire Research Institute are naturally extremely strict. There is usually an army here at any time to respond to possible attacks.
Therefore, when faced with the reduced Grott, they did not appear to be too busy.
"It's still so noisy!"
Grote grinned, but this time his smile was not as cheerful and warm as it was in the Kingdom of Light.
Dark Specium Light!
As he assumed a familiar posture, dark light was released from Grot's wrist. The terrifying high temperature and violent explosion swept away the defense force of the Jockdal Imperial Research Institute in an instant.
Even the steel-like door was blown into pieces.
Qingshui Mohe followed Grott into the Imperial Research Institute. Grott destroyed the defense force of the institute in front, while Qingshui Mohe and Qianxue easily entered the core area of the institute as if they were going shopping.
.
Soon, Grot stopped in front of a huge patio. He looked at the Chokdal researchers who had retreated and fled below. He didn't make too many moves and just jumped down silently.
"It seems we've arrived at the right place."
After entering the Jockdal Empire Research Institute, Qingshui Mo and Qianxue no longer released their ultra-psychic power. On the one hand, they did not want the possible darkness to taint their spirits, and on the other hand, they did not want to interfere with Grote's mind.
action.
Everyone has to pay for their actions, whether it is the Jockdar Empire or Glott, it is the same.
Arriving at the patio, Qingshui Mo and Qianxue lowered their heads and looked at the empty laboratory below. Apart from the various instruments that they couldn't understand, the most eye-catching thing in the entire laboratory was a tank filled with green liquid.
Huge jar container.
A naked young man floated quietly in the green liquid. Grott stood in front of the jar and looked at the young man in the container silently.
"He must be your perfect match in this world."
Qingshui Mo and Qianxue came behind Grot. The sudden sound made Grot tense up. When he saw Qianxue, his expression condensed slightly.
"Sure enough, I still couldn't avoid the attention of you two."
Grote seemed to have expected to meet Qingshui Mo and Qianxue here. He just turned his head again and looked at the young man in the container.
After awakening in the Kingdom of Light, Grot met Qingshui Mo, who was so powerful that he surpassed the Dark Emperor, and Qianxue, who had strange superpowers, under the introduction of Max.
When they were in the conference room, Qianxue's hesitant expression also made Grote understand that his lies were not believed by the two seniors in front of him at all.
He was able to seal away his defenseless best friend Max for a period of time, but he was unable to do anything to Qingshui Mo and Qianxue.
Now, he just hopes that Qing Shui Mo and Qian Xue will not interfere with him.
"You exposed the merger, so you were captured by the Jockdar Empire and studied."
Qianxue sighed, it was still a little hard to accept when the truth that she had long guessed was placed in front of her.
The Jockdar Empire emerged fifteen thousand years ago, and Grot came to this planet fifteen thousand years ago. This means that Grot's fusion partner is likely to have already
He has been imprisoned here for research for fifteen thousand years!
What concept is this?
Given enough supplies and a smooth network, if you stay in the room without leaving for half a month, some people will go crazy, let alone being locked in a jar!
Without freedom and dignity, I feel like an animal being watched and studied by others walking around every day.
Let alone fifteen thousand years, even for one day, you may go crazy!
To be honest, the fact that Grot can still maintain his sanity is a miracle worthy of legend in Qianxue's opinion!
"Seniors, do you want to hear my story?"
Grote turned around, his eyes were no longer as violent as before, but instead returned to the calmness of the Kingdom of Light.
Qingshui Mo nodded. Although he already knew the truth, words from Grote, a person who had experienced it personally, might make people empathize more!
"His name is Crewe, and he was an ordinary student in the Chokdar Empire fifteen thousand years ago. At that time, the Chokdar civilization did not have the advanced technology it has now, so in the face of the invasion of alien monsters,
Every time, many, many people die."
"Crew was also seriously injured during a monster invasion. It happened that I wandered to this planet at that time. In order for both of us to survive, he and I chose to merge."
Grote's voice was very calm, but underneath this calmness was infinite sadness.
"Thinking about it now, if possible, I would rather that Crewe and I had never met, so that there would be no tragedy later."
"After merging with me, Crewe's injuries naturally healed, and he returned to his previous peaceful life. But..."
Grote stopped and looked at Crewe who was locked in the container, his eyes full of tenderness.
"Crew, who performed a miracle of resurrection from the dead, was targeted by the imperial army. They captured Crewe, hoping to find out the secrets of Crewe."
"With my body lost and unable to move freely, I naturally had no way to help Crewe escape, so I could only use Crewe's body to express my identity to the Jokdal Empire."
"Originally, I thought that as a planetary investigator from the Kingdom of Light, I could make the Jokdal Empire lower its guard and let Crew go."
"However, at that time, there was a dispute among the heroes, and the Jockdar Empire, which wanted to dominate the world, greedily imprisoned Kru. They established this research institute to isolate me from the original world, and then threatened me if I didn't want to
If Crewe is tortured, he will hand over the advanced technology in my mind."
Grote's fists clenched, and he seemed to have returned to the era of incomprehension and final despair.
"For the sake of Crewe, I could only hand over some technology to them, but instead of treating Crewe well, they went even harder and completely locked up Crewe in this container."
"It was me who hurt Crewe."
"Since then, Crewe has completely lost his freedom and human rights, and I am also in endless torture. I look forward to my brothers and my seniors finding me and saving me and Crewe."
Qingshui Mo and Qianxue looked at each other, and they were not surprised at all.
Greed is the cornerstone of civilization and progress, and the choice of the Chokdar Empire did not exceed their expectations.
However, the Chowkdal Empire obviously did not expect or want to accept the price of this greed.
