Monsters Descend: I Can Summon Pets Unlimitedly
Chapter 556 556: Are You Acting as an Undercover Agent?
The entire Suspended City seemed to be amidst the clouds.
Upon reaching the top, the layout and decor that came into view were like a garden.
Various potted plants, and a large swimming pool, with a person sitting on a chair as if sunbathing, holding an orange cat, looking very content.
White Bone stepped forward respectfully and said, "Master Xing Chen, Mr. Ye Chen has arrived."
The man meditating with closed eyes slowly opened them.
He looked to be not yet forty, with a very amiable appearance, just like a benevolent elder.
When the man opened his eyes, looking into them, you would understand why he was called Xing Chen.
Because in his eyes, there seemed to be stars.
Xing Chen nodded and said, "Alright, let Ye Chen come over. You all may leave for now."
"Yes!" White Bone bowed slightly and said to Ye Chen, "Mr. Ye Chen, please come over."
Ye Chen felt there was nothing to fear and came before Xing Chen.
Unlike the Gods, who appear imposing, Xing Chen was completely the opposite, almost indistinguishable from an ordinary person.
Xing Chen waved his hand and laughed, "Brother Ye Chen, have a seat."
For some reason, Xing Chen possessed an innate affability that made people feel a spontaneous closeness.
After sitting down, Xing Chen smiled and said, "Brother Ye Chen, it seems we have quite a fate together. You created an alliance called the Star Alliance, and my name is also Xing Chen. To be honest, the moment I saw you, I felt particularly close."
Ye Chen laughed, "I feel the same; meeting an elder brings a sense of closeness."
"Hahaha! Such a smooth talker," Xing Chen laughed heartily. "I've already looked into your information. Four pets, three Creation, two Breakthroughs, very strong. The people from the Chosen Alliance claim to be unique, self-proclaimed Chosen ones, though their pets are quite special, compared to you, they don't measure up at all. Having four pets, you're the first I've encountered."
Ye Chen nodded with a smile, not arguing. He knew that arguing was useless, as he had virtually no secrets in front of Xing Chen.
Suddenly, a person walked over, serving some tea.
Ye Chen looked at this person, dressed in a black robe, and was slightly taken aback. He reached out and pulled the person's clothes off directly.
The person had a very expressionless face.
"Black Peng, good fellow, you're playing spy here, huh."
This person was none other than the Black Peng, who was beside Kong Xi.
Black Peng awkwardly smiled, "Lord Ye Chen, I have no other choice. After all, I'm human, so everything must take the humans as priority."
"Aren't you afraid Kong Xi will find out and have you killed?"
Black Peng's expression suddenly turned serious, "I vow to give my all for humanity and die afterwards! In the face of national interest, Human Race's safety, my life is worth nothing!"
"Alright!"
Ye Chen hadn't expected Black Peng to have such a noble cause; originally thought to be a traitor, turned out to be such a loyalist, a truly devoted loyalist.
If Kong Xi knew, wouldn't she be enraged, a mighty Demon King having a spy beside her!
Xing Chen laughed, "Well, all of this was arranged by us. Indeed, Kong Xi is under our surveillance, but mere surveillance is of no use. We had to resort to such measures, letting Black Peng pretend to be persuaded, to gather intelligence from Kong Xi for us. While Kong Xi is a Demon King, strong in power, she's just a novice in schemes! Hahaha!"
After saying this, Xing Chen laughed heartily.
All of this, Kong Xi was still in the dark.
His whereabouts and dealings with Kong Xi were all informed to them by Black Peng.
"Elder Xing Chen, I'm not sure why you've summoned me?"
Ye Chen cupped his hands and asked.
Xing Chen ceased his laughter and said, "Actually, it's also about Kong Xi. Although Black Peng is beside Kong Xi, he is ultimately just a servant and can't extract much useful information, but I heard from Black Peng that Brother Ye Chen is quite close to Kong Xi, so I'd like you to gather more information on her."
It was just as Ye Chen thought, "May I ask Elder Xing Chen, what position do you hold in the Law Enforcement Alliance? Are you one of the top members?"
"No!" Xing Chen shook his head, "I'm merely an Elder in the Law Enforcement Alliance, the First Elder. There are others above me, those are the top War Gods among us humans, the burden of guarding the Human Race's safety rests on them."
Ye Chen nodded, not feeling particularly disappointed, as he could guess at it.
"What is it? Brother Ye Chen, are you interested in this?"
"Mm, honestly, Kong Xi told me some things. She said she came here two years ago and was captured by us humans, and we extracted a lot of information from her. At that time, she hadn't recovered much memory, so..."
Ye Chen didn't finish his sentence.
Xing Chen nodded and said, "Actually, Kong Xi was telling the truth. It indeed happened two years ago, when the space monitoring station detected a strange object flying in from the cosmos, landing in the sea. We retrieved it, and it was a flying device, inside it was Kong Xi.
We noticed strong energy fluctuations from Kong Xi, energy that was terrifyingly large for us at that time, enough to destroy us. Fortunately, we had advanced technology, and we detained Kong Xi. When she awoke, it seemed she indeed lost much of her memory. After some questioning, we got some information.
Kong Xi comes from another world, one not in this universe, seemingly from another dimension, a unique world vastly different from ours. She broke through space to come here. The entrance to that space is in the cosmos, so we sent people to investigate. Ten people went from that space rift to Kong Xi's world.
That world wasn't much different from ours, just inhabited by many peculiar life forms, monsters, and pets. Our people struck some deal with the Pet Race, leading to the current ability to summon pets. Many Experience Capsules and some treasures were obtained from there."
After Xing Chen finished, Ye Chen understood, no wonder there were so many strong individuals, it turns out people had started leveling up and training two years ago.
"We have sent many people again and again. Of course, some have perished there, and periodically, people return with treasures, and a new batch goes in again. Those people are the strong ones among us humans, and they are part of our national guard. Their strength is unfathomable. Truth be told, I was part of the third group that went!"
