Witch, Fireball and the Evil God of Steam-Chapter 725 - 99: Audience Protocols

Rather like a machine with a great purpose that uses any means to achieve its ends.

"Do I need to remind you? Song Xian, he's already been detained by the security personnel. Don't get complacent; he will eventually confess to the dealings between you!"

"Minister Chen Qi, I think you've completely misunderstood. If you knew what we experienced on the other side, you would understand that Song Xian and I are not on good terms."

Merlin spoke leisurely, "You should still remember how I cut into the 'alternate reality', right? Although the identity on the other side is fabricated, the pain of death and injury is real... Moreover, I think you shouldn't waste time on me now. The experiment is on the brink of losing control, isn't it? Especially now that the committee has sealed off the area, making it impossible to contact them."

The refuge has been quite restless lately.

Even ordinary residents can feel the oppressive atmosphere.

They have not seen any members of the committee for a whole day.

Something must have happened on the committee's side; otherwise, for such an important experiment, they should have appointed someone to oversee it entirely.

However, for those with "ulterior motives," it is a perfect opportunity.

Zhuang Xiao heard Chen Qi's cold snort, followed by the heavy footsteps. He quickly stepped aside to avoid being hit by the door as it was kicked open.

Chen Qi, with obvious dark circles under his eyes and bloodshot eyes, glanced coldly at Zhuang Xiao and headed to his office.

Zhuang Xiao knew every word Merlin said hit Chen Qi's sore spot. He is the head of the "Dream Experiment" project, yet the other end of the dream has completely slipped from their control. With the appearance of the "Consensus Obelisk," the Democratic Assembly has become the highest authority in the city, and the influence of Pioneer Technology is diminishing.

Although Ethan is still clocking into work at the West Suburb Laboratory, he has long since exceeded their control.

It turns out that in the "dream," Ethan can do whatever he pleases.

Zhuang Xiao heard that the experiment at the West Suburb Laboratory is progressing rapidly, with HEV protective suits already entering production because Ethan proposed a series of scientific theories that the professors could only dream of on his second day in office.

But in reality, they all know that these scientific theories are meaningless; the point is that if Ethan wants the HEV protective suits to appear, he can achieve success instantly.

This is undoubtedly bad news for Chen Qi's team.

As Zhuang Xiao watched Chen Qi's back disappear into the distance, he leisurely entered Merlin's office.

"Song Xian was caught?"

"No need to worry about him."

Merlin calmly tidied up the messy desk left by Chen Qi and then took out a syringe from the drawer. "I'll take care of things on that side."

"I know, I know, this is also part of the plan."

Zhuang Xiao couldn't help but be sarcastic; she understood Chen Qi's feelings, and felt that Merlin somewhat deserved to be scolded.

"He made some unexpected discoveries over there."

Merlin continued indifferently, "He successfully obtained the data, but during his departure, he found an unrecorded area... That place seemed abandoned, but as soon as he strolled around the perimeter, the committee's security personnel came to arrest him, indicating that there are many surveillances installed there."

"And I hope you don't do anything foolish."

Zhuang Xiao reminded him with a mocking tone, "I wouldn't want to wake up and find that you both were invited by the committee for tea."
