Armor: Shura appears at the beginning

Chapter 224 Bei Miao's Lies

"Damn it, they still got away!" Jiang Zhong angrily put away his sword, and after removing his armor, his brows could not hide his disappointment and unwillingness.

He turned and looked at his companions beside him, "Are you all okay?" There was a hint of anxiety in Jiang Zhong's voice.

"Brother Jiang Zhong, why are you back?" Kun Zhong was surprised, with a light of disbelief in his eyes. Obviously, Jiang Zhong's sudden appearance gave him great comfort and encouragement.

Jiang Zhong smiled and explained, "This is what happened. Xinnan happened to pass by Nanbo City on his way to training, so we met. After that... when I arrived at the ERP research room..."

"I see, Brother Jiang Zhong, you are really our savior!" Xi Zhao was so grateful that he smiled and said to Jiang Zhong,

"In short, we are really grateful to you this time. If you hadn't arrived in time, I'm afraid we would have been in great danger."

Jiang Zhong shook his head slightly, indicating that it was just a piece of cake. At this moment, there were rapid footsteps in the distance, accompanied by the light of flashlights, and a group of people were approaching quickly.

"It looks like the workers who are repairing the power plant are here." Jiang Zhong's eyes narrowed, and then he said to everyone, "Let's leave quickly to avoid causing unnecessary trouble."

After that, Meizhen in the ERP research room pressed the transmission button, and a bright beam of transmission light instantly shone on them.

With a flash of light, they disappeared without a trace, leaving behind only the night sky that had returned to calm and the figures of workers gradually approaching in the distance.

......

The five people returned to the base, and the atmosphere was solemn.

"Is everyone okay? Fortunately Jiang Zhong returned in time, thank goodness!" Meizhen came forward, concerned and a little anxious,

"Beimiao, didn't you say before that those supernatural beasts were mediocre in strength? Why did the situation suddenly take a turn for the worse?"

Bei Miao frowned, with a tone of confusion and annoyance: "I don't know how they did it. It's as if their strength increased overnight, beyond our expectations."

"I guess there might be someone behind this!" There was a deep meaning in his words, and his eyes inadvertently swept across Xizhao, attracting everyone's attention.

Seeing this, Kunzhong quickly stood in front of Xizhao and retorted in a firm tone: "Beimiao, your eyes make people uncomfortable. Are you trying to imply that Xizhao is behind this?"

"I didn't accuse him directly," Bei Miao defended, but his tone was still cold, "but it is undeniable that he had connections with the shadow world in the past. Although the shadow world no longer exists, the related secrets may still be in his heart."

Xi Zhao's face darkened when he heard this, and he said in a low but firm voice: "I have never done anything that is detrimental to the team, and I will never go along with those supernatural beasts. I don't need to defend myself on this point."

"Having said that, it is an indisputable fact that Xizhao did not participate in the battle when we arrived today."

Dong Shan broke the silence, his tone revealed a hint of caution, and he looked at Xi Zhao gently, "Xi Zhao, please understand, I am just stating what I saw, and I have no other intentions."

"But the truth is not that simple..." Xi Zhao was about to explain, but was interrupted by Bei Miao's stern words: "Enough, what's the point of arguing about this now?!"

Bei Miao's voice was filled with unquestionable authority. He sneered and continued, "The facts are before us. We are in trouble, but you are safe and sound. Doesn't this prove the point?"

Facing Bei Miao's accusations, Xizhao's brows furrowed even more tightly. He looked at his former partner in disbelief, his eyes full of hurt and confusion.

There was a hint of hesitation in Dongshan's eyes, as if he was wavering between Beimiao's words and Xizhao's silence.

"Beimiao, how can you be so arbitrary?!" Xizhao finally couldn't hold back and retorted angrily, but then he realized that arguing at this moment would only make the situation more complicated.

He took a deep breath, tried to calm down, glanced at everyone, and finally chose to remain silent. He clenched his fists, his nails deeply embedded in his palms, and he felt unprecedented loneliness and helplessness.

"Xi Zhao, I hope you can be more cautious in the next battle. If a similar situation occurs again, I will have to consider the stability of the team." Bei Miao said in a high-handed tone.

Xi Zhao pursed his lips tightly, trying not to let his emotions show, but the slight trembling of his body betrayed his inner turmoil. He knew that defending himself at this moment would only escalate the conflict, so he chose to remain silent and buried all his grievances and resentment deep in his heart.

Kunzhong felt mixed emotions when he saw this. He knew Xizhao very well and understood Beimiao's worries. So, he sighed heavily, walked to Xizhao, patted him on the shoulder, and gave him silent support and encouragement:

"Xi Zhao, I know you. You are not the kind of person who would betray the team. But no matter what, I believe in you!"

Kunzhong's words were like a ray of warm sunshine, penetrating the haze in Xizhao's heart. He looked at Kunzhong gratefully, with a hint of determination in his eyes.

......

"Really? Bei Sanshui!" Jiang Zhong led Bing'er into the ERP research room and said to him with a serious face.

Bei Miao felt nervous after hearing Jiang Zhong's words, but still responded calmly: "I don't understand what you are talking about."

Jiang Zhong sneered, took out the Shura Summoning Device, used the time-rewinding function of the summoning device, pressed it lightly, and a ray of light shot out, projecting what had just happened between Bei Miao and Xi Zhao at the power plant.

When Bei Miao saw this scene, his face turned pale instantly, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He didn't expect Jiang Zhong to have such a method to recall the scene at that time.

Jiang Zhong put away the Shura Summoner and said coldly: "Now, do you have anything to explain?"

Bei Miao lowered his head and remained silent. He knew he could no longer argue, the facts were before him and he could not deny them.

"Beimiao, is this true?" Meizhen asked. She didn't understand why Beimiao wanted to frame Xizhao. She always thought that Beimiao was an upright person and would not do such a thing.

Bei Miao did not answer, but just lowered his head, as if thinking about something.

At this time Dongshan, who had just agreed with Beimiao, lowered his head. He felt ashamed of his behavior!

"Brother Bei Miao! Why are you doing this?!" Kunzhong was a little angry at Bei Miao's behavior. He couldn't understand why Bei Miao would attack Xi Zhao.

"I...I!" Bei Miao, who was exposed, was speechless and clenched his hands.
