Hei Tong didn't say much, he turned around and prepared to get some water for Uncle, but in that instant he felt a slight movement behind him. He saw that the shadows on the ground were getting closer to him!

Without hesitation, he quickly dodged to the left to avoid Uncle's clumsy attack.

Snap!

Hei Tong kicked Uncle in the stomach, causing him to fall to the ground again.

Because Hei Tong was already injured, and with his kick, Uncle couldn't get up this time.

Seeing Uncle's embarrassed state, Hei Tong squatted down with interest to observe him.

"Uncle, I don't have much strength. Everyone says my strength is not much different from that of a weak girl. It's a bit embarrassing for you to be like this."

"I'm not interested in you personally, and...were you originally a boy?"

"Well, Uncle, that was quite rude. Maybe I won't give you water after all. You don't seem that thirsty."

"Even if I wanted to ask for your forgiveness now, you wouldn't forgive me, would you?"

"Yes, but even if I do forgive you, I'll wait until Xunxiang-jie...oh, I mean, the Great General, comes back before I judge you."

Hei Tong was truly angry this time, and even tied up Uncle with a climbing rope to prevent any further surprises.

Hei Tong was indeed a bit careless just now, especially in such an unstable safe zone. If something really happened, he would be the one suffering.

The conversation returned to the beginning, which was about Uncle's background, and...

Hei Tong thought for a moment, then asked, "Uncle, can you tell me your name?"

Uncle didn't hesitate and replied, "Juxi...you can call me Juxi. Does that name satisfy you?"

"Hehe," Hei Tong just gave a faint smile, "then I'll call you Juxi. Well...Uncle Juxi, what crime did you commit to be imprisoned?"

"Prison?!" Juxi seemed shocked, as if he didn't even know he was in a prison.

"Of course, the clothes you're wearing are prison uniforms. Without enough authority, it's impossible to take them off or put them on." Hei Tong revealed the truth to Juxi, allowing him to quickly accept this fact.

"I have a question, what would happen if I forcefully took them off?" Juxi asked cautiously.

"Nothing would happen. These clothes are resistant to high temperatures and sharp objects. If you forcefully use these things, I can guarantee that before you can take off the clothes, you'll either be burned or bleed to death." As Hei Tong said this, a sinister smile appeared on his face, making Juxi shiver.

But it wasn't really Hei Tong trying to scare him, because the clothes did possess these attributes. Hei Tong was just describing the current situation, so Juxi's frightened appearance could only be blamed on his own weak mental resilience.

But as Hei Tong looked into Juxi's eyes, he felt a peculiar discomfort in his heart, even a sense of foreboding.

When Hei Tong came to his senses, he realized that this feeling had a striking resemblance to demonic possession, except it was intermittent, cooling down quickly every time it was about to erupt.

In other words, the eruption of his core power caused Juxi great pain, but because of his special physique, he managed to suppress his core power.

Through this endless cycle, the ultimate result is undoubtedly suffering worse than death!

It's like a person who cannot be killed, with blades repeatedly piercing and withdrawing from their body, never finding relief.

Based on his uniqueness, Heitong can determine.

"It seems that you haven't committed any crime, but rather because of your special physique, right?"

"I don't know what you're talking about... but those despicable white-clad demons, they kept injecting strange things into my body. I don't want to go back! No!!!"

"Calm down, calm down! Trust me, if you really committed a crime, there will be laws in place by the Alliance to punish you! However... if you truly have no wrongdoing, there will still be a place for you in the city of Gret, so please rest assured."

Heitong tried to pacify Juxi as much as possible. It would be horrifying if his core were to erupt in such an emotionally unstable state.

Also, the fluctuation of energy within this guy's core is like raging waves, but it never shows any obvious signs. This in itself is very strange.

Since this man named Juxi has such a possibility, Heitong can somewhat conclude that if he were to undergo demonic transformation, what kind of monster would he become?

Heitong doesn't need to think to know that it would be a monster amongst monsters!!!

It must be said that he himself is now grateful that he has not encountered such a level of demonic corruption in battle. Otherwise, it would be a nearly unwinnable fight.

SSS-level core warriors are still unknown existences. If he were to encounter such demonic corruption again... Heitong estimates that this guy might be even stronger than Vidal.

SSSS-level core warriors... No, once reaching this level, one should be called a core god of war for accuracy!

"Juxi, right?" Bai Xuanxiang wiped her lenses and put her black-framed glasses back on. "I have never heard of such a person before. If it's some prank by a friend or something, I can just treat it as a joke and move on. But Heitong, judging from that guy named Juxi, it's not hard to see that he is a real fugitive, isn't he?"

Bai Xuanxiang seemed impatient, and Heitong naturally responded straightforwardly, "That's exactly how it is, but that guy you mentioned is not ordinary!"

"Not ordinary?" Bai Xuanxiang became interested, "Oh? Then please tell me, what makes him so special?"

Heitong told her everything without leaving out any details. However, he said it quietly, not letting anyone else, including that uncle Juxi, hear it.

"Well, if that's the case, then we can't let such a person go free!" Bai Xuanxiang still held her original opinion and didn't pay much attention to Heitong's words.

Her idea was to quickly resolve Juxi's issue without much consideration.

"Heitong, my head is about to explode from all these complicated matters. Let me have some quiet for a moment," Bai Xuanxiang pressed her temple with her index finger. It seemed she wasn't in the mood today.

"No, is there really no way?" Heitong still refused to give up because he firmly believed that the uncle, Juxi, must be innocent.

So, the current problem is not just about right or wrong; it's about whether there is a solution now!

"Now it's apparent that we could go to war at any moment. There's no solution to the internal matters of the Alliance. Does it even matter to discuss these things now?"

Bai Xuanxiang was already frustrated. If it weren't for the Imperial Army making trouble, she probably wouldn't be so irritated.

The Imperial Army is indeed stronger than the Alliance Army now, of course, assuming Queen Angela is present. Haute is no match for her at all!

Black Pupil has also witnessed the opponent's strength and understands the immense disparity between them.

However, Black Pupil now remembers Juxi and couldn't help but feel a hint of pity.

"Well, he seems to be suffering enough. Sis, you should let him go."

"That won't work. Only by restraining him can we make this guy behave."

"Don't worry, you are a person blessed by the gods. Dealing with him should be no problem for you."

"Um...that's true, but if something unexpected happens, it will be the innocent people who suffer!"

"You can rest assured, the curse magic won't invade his body. That's probably why he was captured for research."

"...Alright, alright, I really admire you!"

Bai Xunxiang finally couldn't withstand the pressure from Black Pupil and ultimately compromised, removing all the shackles from Juxi's body.

"Alright, my armband can release all the permissions on his body, but..."

"But what?"

"Even if we remove the shackles from his body, I still can't release the neurons that control him. It seems that only someone of Haute's caliber can have that kind of permission. We can't do it."

"Father...wait, does that mean Grandpa and the others can't do it either? And shouldn't the Commander and my father be subordinates of the Alliance Elder Council?"

"Hehehe, I can't do it, and Haute actually..."

Just as Black Pupil and Bai Xunxiang were talking, Juxi started making his moves...escaping!

"Where did he go?" Bai Xunxiang discovered that in the blink of an eye, Juxi had disappeared.

"This is really bad luck. I actually ran into a tough guy!"

Juxi untied the ropes while climbing out of the window, occasionally glancing back, praying that the two wouldn't catch up with him.

Now it's even worse. Juxi felt that his current situation had become worse instead of receiving any so-called help!

"Did I attract General's attention by accident? Am I wanted now?" Juxi muttered to himself, not thinking that they would let him off so easily.

Because... um...he himself didn't know why, the other party didn't seem like a bad person, but he just couldn't trust them.

"Indeed...can't trust them!"

Juxi thought it would be better to leave the safe zone and seek shelter rather than continuing to consume like this, or holding onto a glimmer of hope in his heart.

Not long after leaving, he returned to the initial alleyway, where all he could do was return to the slums where he started.

"Oh my goodness!!!"

The city is just too big, I'm completely lost! Of course...

Mainly due to the uniformity of this city's layout!!!
