The guards stationed at the passage stood guard seriously, and the magic monitor above their heads glowed faintly.
Just beneath their feet, the passage that was used to release something into the cage opened.
Two figures bypassed the sentry and entered the cage.
The footage from the magic energy surveillance system was normal, but a closer look revealed that it was just a video playing in a loop - someone had replaced the surveillance footage.
The two figures were able to enter the cage smoothly.
As soon as they came in, they looked around, searching for that unique target.
In a corner where they were completely unaware, two tufts of fur swayed and approached them from behind.
In order to pass through the narrow underground passages, they all wore light clothing.
The fluff easily found the gaps and burrowed under the clothes, and its tiny roots penetrated between the cells.
Soon, the entire tuft of hair melted and disappeared beneath the skin.
The two people who were completely unaware were still looking around for traces of their target.
Where...
In the huge forest, the only sound was the rustling of the trees caused by the artificial breeze.
A cold breath came up for no reason.
Even with the detection equipment, they were unable to find any trace of the target for a long time, and they couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
Until at some point, one of them stopped.
As if sensing something, he pulled his companion, and then the two of them slowly turned their heads——
Behind them, in the seemingly bottomless shadows of the trees, a pair of blue eyes suddenly opened.
They didn't know since when, but these eyes had been staring at them quietly from behind.
Watching them running around in this cage like headless flies.
There seemed to be a sound of blood rushing back into my ears.
For some reason, when they saw this small figure, in addition to being frightened, they were also filled with fear!
"That's it!" one of them shouted.
He opened the equipment in his hand, and the other person also raised the capture gun tacitly and pulled the trigger in the direction of the target.
A beam of light suddenly lit up.
But there was no sign of the target in the empty forest!
The magic capture net that was launched immediately afterwards only caught a large area of trees.
Their target disappeared like a ghost.
Both of them were sweating, not sure if it was from cold sweat or anxiety.
Just as they were about to continue their action, a stern shout suddenly came from behind them:
"Don't move!"
The sound pierced the silence in the cage and the two men froze in place.
Soon, a large bright light came from behind them.
"rustle..."
Percy walked out of the woods. Lily, who was standing beside him, was holding two large lighting lamps that were too heavy for two teachers to lift, and was turning the lights on and off curiously.
The backs of the two thieves appeared and disappeared in the flickering light.
Percy narrowed his dark-circled eyes and swept his gaze over the two men sternly. He opened the safety of his gun with one hand and held a small book at his waist with the other.
"Turn around slowly and don't play tricks."
"…"
The two figures slowly turned around under his gaze.
The two sides looked at each other.
"Men..." Percy showed an expression of expectedness, "You are from the research institute, right? I didn't expect that the research institute would do such petty theft."
The two men turned around and remained silent, as if they had no intention of responding to someone like Percy, but were slightly annoyed at being caught.
But suddenly, their expressions changed.
"Huh?" Percy was also a little confused when he saw the change in their expressions.
That look was a bit excited, as if he had seen something he needed, but also a bit confused, and frightened...
"rustle..."
At this moment, he suddenly heard the sound of the tree above his head shaking.
He looked up subconsciously, and happened to meet a pair of deep blue eyes.
"'Hope'?" he murmured unconsciously.
——This somewhat rustic "Hope" is the name he and Lily gave to the young dragon.
Even the researchers thought it was inappropriate to refer to such a unique entity with a number, so they unanimously approved this name.
On the treetop, You Huan heard a voice calling him from below.
He looked away and continued to look at the two uninvited guests in the darkness.
Perhaps they bribed some people in the military, or there might be undercover agents planted in the military. In any case, the research institute sent these two people to try to steal me away overnight.
That suited him just fine.
It's impossible to leave. This place is big, there's food and drink, it's just like home. I will never leave on my own initiative in this lifetime.
But these two people from the research institute who came to his door gave Xiao Pu's fluff a place to be put to good use.
Now that the fluff has taken root, the next step is...
"what happens?"
At this time, a large number of lights were swaying from a distance, mixed with the shouts of soldiers.
Coupled with the emergence of hope, Pelli was dazzled.
When he came to his senses, the two thieves standing in front of him had disappeared!
"Tsk, they ran away!" He immediately turned around and said to the soldier who ran in after noticing something was wrong, "Someone sneaked in, catch them!"

"yes!"
...But after searching for a long time, the group still found nothing.
The two men escaped.
"Sure enough, the people from the research institute were won over by the military. Are there also people from the research institute in the military..." After searching everywhere in vain, Bo Xi walked back to his original place, sat down on a big rock, and muttered to himself.
If there was no traitor in the military, how could those two people sneak in and leave while so many people were searching for them?
"Luckily, my hope wasn't stolen. I knew someone would..." He continued to mutter when he suddenly felt something jump up next to him.
He turned his head and looked into the blue eyes.
The young dragon with white mane and black scales leisurely jumped onto the stone, seemingly not caring that there was a sparsely-haired upright ape next to it, and sat down on it.
Its two front paws were clasped together, like a cat held by a farmer, and it lay there very calmly, its eyes looking forward.
Pelliot watched with increasing amazement.
He found that this young dragon was truly...strange.
Although he had never come into contact with other dragons.
But recalling his memory, the fierce and elegant figure of the White Dragon, the overlord of Molten Light City, he felt...
Normally, the dragon race wouldn't want something like this.
It has neither the ferocity of wild beasts nor the vigilance of animals. It is lazy and sometimes very mysterious. No one knows what is thinking in its head.
Could it be that...
Was it because of this abnormal character that it was abandoned by its own kind, and that's why it appeared alone in Molten Light City? !
A light bulb suddenly lit up in his mind, and Percy felt that he might have discovered the truth, and he stood up excitedly.
Seeing him like this, Hope, who was beginning to doze off, simply glanced at him calmly.
Like a biology student who had discovered a rare species for the first time, Pelliot paced around excitedly for a few times, then took a deep breath.
"If that's the case, coming to the Hive would be a better arrangement for you... right? Hopefully, you'll become one of us..." He muttered a few words, and was then awakened by the alarm from his watch.
"Why is it already this late..." He muttered to himself while looking at his watch, then walked away in a hurry.
After being appointed as the leader of the Hope Research Group, he had a lot of tasks to do, but he didn't have much time to stay here in the middle of the night.
Watching Bo Xi leave, You Huan still lay there lazily, motionless.
In fact, most of his attention was on Xiao Pu's fur.
The fuzz that had taken root in the two thieves secretly controlled most of their brain activities.
Their perceptions and thoughts were clearly visible to him.
From memory, these two people were specially trained by the institute to carry out some shady plans, and they were not researchers.
So there are actually very few things of real value in their minds.
But there was one word that caught his attention.
"God above all".
Almost all members of the institute worship a "God".
Moreover, this is not a secret in the hive, but an open matter.
Because the Hive allowed and even encouraged the worship of this Supreme God to a certain extent!
What exactly is the "Supreme God"? These two people are not clear, and the official statement of the Hive is also ambiguous.
The only thing they knew was that the research institute was the most fanatical place for worshipping the Supreme God. It was full of men, and it was also because of the Supreme God's request...
"Wow, Hope, good evening."
At this time, a clear and pleasant female voice came to the little dragon's ears.
Lily walked out of the darkness briskly. (End of this chapter)
