Chapter 228 The Cold-Blooded World Destroyer 4 (2/2)

Assistant Wen wanted to remain silent, but this time he really couldn't stay silent anymore.

"Oh, you got married."

"Purely human beings aren't so bad."

Wen Zhaoye gave a perfunctory "oh," then subtly changed the subject, a complex emotion flashing in his molten gold dragon eyes.

He recalled the small, purely human woman on the surveillance screen and tried to remain calm as he analyzed the rules.

He was still in the safe house praying for the orcs, wanting to get them out safely together.

"However, most pure humans are cowardly and selfish, and they will do anything to survive."

"She's just one of the slightly... special ones."

"He may have been a bit of a troublemaker, but the ridiculous kindness in his heart hasn't been completely extinguished."

Wen Zhaoye seemed to be emphasizing something, and his voice turned cold.

He seemed to be trying to justify giving away the crystal he had crafted from his scales, which he had made an exception for.

"I just... haven't had much contact with this type of pure human, so using her as an observation sample wouldn't be bad."

He eventually came to the conclusion that the reward was nothing special.

"Yes, boss, pure humans are indeed very special."

Assistant Wen responded in a low voice at the opportune moment.

He knew that the more critical and casual his boss's words were, the more it showed that the pure human held an extraordinary place in his heart.

As the only black dragon in the world, the crystal polished from its dragon scales is part of its original power, containing the most refined protective power of the black dragon clan, making it extremely rare.

This is far more than just the treatment given to observational samples.

Wen Zhaoye stopped talking and just stared at the darkness outside the window, lost in thought.

The tower fell silent once more, except for the faint sound of scales rubbing together as his fingertips unconsciously traced the window frame.

After returning to reality, Zi Xi immediately checked herself and her environment.

After confirming that there was nothing wrong, she carefully put the black crystal into her pocket.

She searched online for information about vortexes, only to find that related discussion posts and videos disappeared almost without a trace in a short period of time.

Occasionally, a few slip through the net, but clicking on them will show that the content does not exist or the topic is not displayed.

The powerful force of 404 enveloped everything.

As expected, this kind of thing cannot be made public in a short period of time.

Just as she was feeling uneasy, there was a polite but undeniable knock on the door.

Through the peephole, she saw several men and women dressed in black suits, exuding a capable air.

The leader showed an ID card with the national emblem.

"Hello Ms. Zhou, we are staff members from the National Bureau of Anomalies Management and Research. We would like to ask for your cooperation in understanding some special events that you may have recently experienced."

"Please rest assured, we have no malicious intent; we simply need to ensure your personal safety and social stability."

Zi Xi immediately opened the door without hesitation, after all, it's good to have a powerful backer.

Over the next few days, she was taken to a heavily guarded base on the outskirts of the city.

There was no coercion during the process, and the attitude was respectful.

She and several other survivors were placed in the base's living quarters for comprehensive physical examinations, psychological assessments, and questioning.

Zi Xi cooperated and recounted her experience, naturally mentioning the existence of the black crystal. After it was reported, it was not confiscated out of humanitarian considerations.

The investigators made records, but it seems the country's focus was more on the information within that otherworld, uncovering the people behind it, and solving the problem.

The investigation revealed that Zhou Zixi had a very simple background; she was an orphan who barely managed to finish university by doing odd jobs, had few social connections, and little savings.

The base assigned her a single dormitory room, which was clean, tidy, and had a private bathroom, much better than her rented room.

They even provided her with a meal card, which Zixi was very happy about.
