The anti-gravity array that should have been completed by Zhuge Lan was also finished by Lin Xiao.
"Mr. Zhuge said I have good talent in arrays. I remembered a part of it last time and practiced it every day for the past month, so I can at least make use of it," Lin Xiao shrugged. "Compared to Mr. Zhuge Lan's arrays, it's still a bit lacking, but it'll do for now."
"It really is just 'doing,' it's quite heavy in my hand," Qi Tian weighed it, noting that it still weighed one to two kilograms, meaning the arm inside wasn't completely neutralized.
"It'll have to do. We'll have Mr. Zhuge Lan improve it when we get back. For now, the main thing is to get this thing back."
As Lin Xiao spoke, he noticed a small team approaching.
"Mr. Lin, has that demon been eliminated?" the squad leader asked cautiously, approaching them.
"Of course, it's eliminated. Don't worry, you won't have any more inexplicable disappearances," Lin Xiao replied with a nod.
"And the people who went missing before..." the squad leader asked, clinging to a sliver of hope.
"All dead."
"...Alright."
Although he already knew the answer, hearing it now still felt unpleasant. So many people had died, just at the hands of this single arm.
"Oh, let me see, my access shouldn't be revoked. I still want to research new technologies," Qi Tian seemed to remember something and pulled out his laptop, quickly accessing the database. He then nodded with satisfaction, "They're keeping their word. At least my access hasn't been revoked."
"To put it in Longguo terms, we should play the host. How about I treat you two to dinner?" the squad leader said, wiping sweat from his brow. He wouldn't dare to drive these two away, not when his superior had ordered him to.
"No need," Lin Xiao declined his offer. "We're in a hurry to get back. Prepare a plane for us... I imagine your superior has already made preparations, just waiting for the two of us to depart."
"Okay..."
The squad leader noticed Lin Xiao's meaningful smile as he looked at him. Did Lin Xiao know the intentions of those above?
"Don't overthink it. I just know what kind of people your superiors are. To them, Qi Tian and I are far more dangerous than this thing. If there were any other choice, they would never have let Qi Tian and me set foot in your Pretty Country."
Lin Xiao's ears were sharp enough to pick up their conversation; it was hard for him not to know. He didn't want to make it difficult for the squad leader, and besides, they were busy rushing back to consult the old Celestial Master.
He knows everything?
The squad leader's expression became even more awkward. He could only say, "Thank you both very much for your help. You have saved Pretty Country."
"Remember, we didn't just do this to save you. We, the two of us, are doing this for all living beings, for this world," Qi Tian said rapidly, his eyes fixed on the computer screen. At his level, he could immediately discern which information was useful to him and could advance his research on puppets and body refinement.
"Let's go, let's go. You drive, that way we'll be faster," Lin Xiao patted the squad leader's shoulder. "I hope we won't have the chance to come here again."
