"Mr. Ellen, what's wrong with you?"

Ai Lian took a deep breath, inserted her slender fingers into the red hair, lowered her head and closed her eyes for a while. The exhaustion and haggardness of the past years finally left permanent traces on her bright face.

A few minutes later, Xiao Yang was already a little impatient. Knowing that Ai Lian would not let him go, he was even more irritable.

"Where are you going?" Ellen picked up her energy, straightened her back against the back of the chair, and asked in a hoarse voice.

"I have friends in Italy."

"Don't leave the country. Our current situation is unfavorable, it's very dangerous for you to go out." Ai Lin said firmly, as if there was no room for negotiation.

Xiao Yang just smiled lightly. Indeed, the capital chain of the research institute is about to break, and the follow-up drugs will not be available. Other countries and organizations that have already purchased experimental bodies cannot obtain the after-sales guarantee and drug supply they deserve. When the buyers are patiently exhausted, they will definitely take some measures. To protect his own interests, it was obviously unwise for Xiao Yang to leave the country at this time.

"Go back to the Greyhound family. It's isolated and safe there."

"Oh?" Xiao Yang smiled, but his eyes inadvertently showed a clear disgust.

Ai Lian took out a key and put it in front of Xiao Yang, with an unquestionable tone: "You are not allowed to leave the country. This is the biggest concession I have made. As for what you plan to do after you go back, feel free."

Xiao Yang was stunned for a moment, hesitated for a while, and slowly picked up the key on the table. This is the key to the arsenal in Ellen's Villa.

"Go away." Ai Lin took the resignation letter he put on the table, glanced at the packed suitcase on the carpet beside the bed, stood up and walked out.

"The bodyguard will take you away, I'm going back to work."

——

Snow Castle in the Lawrence Mountains.

In the ornately decorated European-style hall, Qi Shenggu reclined on the leather sofa, gently twirled the feathers on the small fan, cut a piece of peacock feather from his tail feather and stuck it on the fan.

The little ghost is sitting on the carpet holding the glass hourglass, staring blankly at the clock swinging on the wall, the ancient hands point to twelve noon, the small door on the clock slowly opens, and a girl dancing ballet slowly stretches out , put on the ding ding dong dong music.

The sprite suddenly became very happy, and the little face that looked like an albumen glass blushed: "The Knicks' hand... It's a coincidence."

"Yes. You sit on top, it's too cold under the ground." A long-haired girl was also sitting on the sofa, with a pair of dragonfly wings hanging from her back, holding a violin in her hand, and looking at the little ghosts on the carpet tenderly .

"Hmph... it's a pity that it didn't work in the right place." Qi Shenggu scornfully tried the newly glued peacock feather fan, "He cut open his chest cavity, took out his heart, and moulded a ceramic style, and now Still polishing. Cough, cough... Humans are really whimsical. Oh, can he be considered a human? He can replace old body organs at will, and he shouldn't die. Cough..."

Qi Shenggu is too lazy to chat with a little ghost who can't speak a word, and it is really boring. Fortunately, there are many mature experimental subjects in the castle. Although they are less powerful, they can chat to relieve their boredom.

"The Knicks are a very good person. He's willing to take us in." The dragonfly experiment said worriedly, "It's okay for the Knicks to work for so long. I'll bring him a cup of coffee."

"Don't worry about him, he will blame you if you make a mistake." Qi Shenggu coughed twice, then turned his head and complained that the little ghost made the fire in the fireplace too choking.

Dragonfly still poured a cup of coffee and brought it to the puppet master's workshop. A tattered ceramic puppet placed on the workbench raised its head dully and looked at her with empty eyes.

The puppeteer is sculpting the poured ceramic heart with tweezers while wearing eyepieces.

The heart is very delicate, and it is an extremely huge project to carve out every chamber and every tiny blood vessel by hand. The puppet master was so engrossed in the carving that he couldn't even look up at the person who came in, because once he looked away, it would be difficult to find the blood vessel he had just carved, and it would be impossible to continue.

The dragonfly carefully placed the coffee in a place where it would not be easily spilled, ready to exit.

The chandelier above his head suddenly shook, and the dragonfly raised its head alertly. In an instant, something heavy seemed to slam into the outer wall of the castle, and the ground and walls shook violently.

Dragonfly didn't have time to think about anything, so she grabbed the coffee cup just placed on the table to prevent the coffee from spilling and the hot water spilling on her body. She bit her lip and looked around in pain, not knowing what happened. what's the situation.

The puppeteer also sensed movement outside the castle, but he couldn't raise his head, couldn't take his eyes off the ceramic heart, or even speak aloud to keep his fingers from shaking.

"Buy me for a day." The puppeteer said in a very soft voice, dripping with sweat from the tip of his nose, "This is my only request."

Dragonfly stood there in a daze for a while, quietly exited the workshop, closed the door for him, and hurriedly followed the dolls and experimental subjects running from the corridor to the various balconies in the castle full of Juliet roses.

Looking down from the heights, at least hundreds of gray-white experimental subjects crawled out of the white snow and were gathering around the castle.

The gorgeously dressed dolls jumped down from the balcony one after another with guns in their arms, rushed out of the garden, and fought with the gray-white experimental subjects that came in.

Dragonfly was stunned. She had never seen such a scene before. Although she was an experimental subject, she was born with weak combat power and was used as feed. She suddenly didn't know what to do now.

While she was trying to protect the frightened and crying experimental larvae around her, a golden-blue band crossed her head. She looked up, and the strange bones gliding down from the highest point, the golden-blue peacock tail feathers scattered in the air. , a light golden protective cover encloses the entire castle.

"Where's the kid from?" Qi Shenggu took out two pistols from under the skirt of his cheongsam, holding one in each hand, and shot down the experimental subjects that were climbing towards the wall.
