"What do you want to do?"
He blurted out unexpectedly, and only after speaking did he realize he had said the wrong thing.
But the words were already out, and there was no way to take them back. Mi Le could only look with his darkened eyes at Mi Xue'er, whose mouth cloth had already been cut open.
As soon as the cloth on her mouth was cut, Mi Xue'er impatiently cried out, "Brother Duan Chen, don't hurt him, he is my brother!"
Before Duan Chen could react, Mi Le sneered.
"Who is your brother? Don't flatter yourself! Do I have a foolish sister like you? It's a joke!"
The hatred in his eyes was undeniable.
Clearly, he had no affection for his sister, Mi Xue'er.
But...
Duan Chen couldn't help but hesitate.
Zhong Yu hadn't mentioned having another biological son?
What was going on?
Moreover, he could clearly feel the aura of a sea monster from Mi Le.
It wasn't necessarily a sea monster in disguise, but it was definitely an anomaly.
There was a very clear division between anomalies and uncanny phenomena.
Sea monsters were uncanny.
Sea monsters disguised as humans could be considered anomalies.
Those who were originally human but defected to sea monsters and gained power were also anomalies.
Others who did not belong to sea monsters but also not to humans were also anomalies.
Those who belonged to the sea monster faction but were not sea monsters were uncanny.
This classification was somewhat complex, and ordinary people generally couldn't understand it, but psionicists had a very clear understanding of this division.
Mi Xue'er looked at Duan Chen with teary eyes, then at Mi Le.
She opened her mouth, wanting to explain.
But Mi Le interrupted her in an instant.
His eyes darkened. "Don't try to get close to me. I am an anomaly, and you are a human. There is no possibility of us being siblings."
"I only want one thing, and then you can take her away."
He said this to Duan Chen.
Mi Le's eyes glared fiercely. He said viciously, "If I don't get what I want, even if you forcibly try to take Mi Xue'er away, you won't be able to."
"She seems to be tied to this chair by me, but bombs have been implanted in her body. If you try to take her, unless I am willing, she will detonate automatically."
Mi Xue'er's face turned pale.
From her expression, Duan Chen could see that Mi Le was not lying.
He calmly asked, "What do you want?"
Mi Le gritted his teeth.
"I only want one thing, a pocket watch, the pocket watch left by Mi Jun, give it to me!"
Duan Chen instinctively looked at Mi Xue'er's neck. He remembered that Mi Xue'er seemed to have something like a pocket watch?
Was it a pocket watch or a pendant?
Mi Le said sarcastically, "Don't look at her. If she had it, why would I ask you?"
"I want you to find Zhong Yu. Zhong Yu definitely has the pocket watch I want."
"No!"
At this moment, Mi Xue'er suddenly shouted.
She looked at Mi Le defiantly. "That is a relic left by Dad for Mom! It belongs to Mom!"
Mi Le's expression suddenly darkened, and a cold, sinister smile appeared on his lips.
He laughed.
"I know, so what? I just want to get it."
"You!" Mi Xue'er looked at Mi Le with some sadness.
Sun Xiaoxiao giggled from the side, covering her mouth. "What a good family drama."
"But time is running out, Mi Le. We need to get the pocket watch back quickly, or our master will be angry."
A flash of crimson light crossed her eyes.
When Duan Chen saw Sun Xiaoxiao again, he realized she was completely different from the last time.
The monster that used to shadow her was gone.
Her entire appearance had changed dramatically.
She was wearing a blood-red dress and a pair of bright red leather shoes.
She looked as cute as a doll.
Two small fangs protruded from the corners of her mouth, making her look a bit like a vampire. Her eyes were much clearer now, not as confused and mad as last time.
She smiled slightly, revealing her two small fangs.
"Otherwise, our master will be waiting too long, and we won't be able to report back."
Duan Chen's eye twitched for a moment.
He realized that Sun Xiaoxiao seemed to have gotten rid of Kong Ning's trouble.
A lifelong friend...
"Where is Kong Ning?"
Duan Chen narrowed his eyes and asked. However, upon hearing his question, Sun Xiaoxiao's expression instantly turned very gloomy.
It looked like Sun Xiaoxiao wanted to pounce on him and stab him fiercely.
But Duan Chen was not afraid at all.
Sun Xiaoxiao smiled, but it was a forced smile.
"You don't need to worry about that."
She giggled, and the red in her eyes deepened. "You'd better worry about how to get Mi Xue'er out, after all, an extra heart wouldn't be too much."
She licked her finger, and beneath her sweetness, there was a hint of seductiveness.
Mi Xue'er calmed down.
She spoke rapidly. "Brother Duan Chen, he is my real brother! Don't worry about me. Go home and tell Mom that I have a brother, and that our dad, he's not dead!"
As she said this, her eyes sparkled, as if she had seen stars.
Duan Chen couldn't quite describe his feelings when he heard the news revealed by Mi Xue'er.
Mi Le did not stop Mi Xue'er from speaking.
After Mi Xue'er finished speaking, Mi Le reached out his hand. "Give me the pocket watch."
"I believe you, you can get it."
"Exchange goods for people."
Duan Chen hesitated and then agreed. "Okay, I'll ask Ms. Zhong if she has a pocket watch, but how can I contact you?"
"And Xue'er..."
Mi Le smiled slightly, a curve forming at the corner of his mouth.
"Don't worry, I'm not that heartless. Sign this."
"A parchment scroll. As long as you sign it, I will let you take Mi Xue'er back."
He raised his hand and took out a piece of paper.
It looked somewhat like parchment.
But as soon as the paper was in his hand, Duan Chen frowned.
The feel of this paper was wrong.
It didn't feel like parchment... rather, it felt like...
The words "two-legged sheep" flashed in his mind.
Mi Le said slowly, "This is my ability. I don't fear you knowing it. As long as you sign your name below, you must fulfill the conditions stated above."
"Otherwise, the bomb in Mi Xue'er's body will absolutely not disappear."
"It all depends on your choice."
Duan Chen glanced at Mi Xue'er. Her eyes were full of pleading and tears.
Duan Chen hardened his heart and did not look at Mi Xue'er, turning to face Mi Le.
He said, "Rewrite the contract. I'll watch you write it, or I won't be at ease."
