Chu Yao walked towards the third door in the hall with heavy steps.

After coming in, she found that she was overthinking.

There are indeed living things here, but they are not humans...they are animals.

Mice, rabbits, monkeys... these small animals were locked in iron cages and shivering. They seemed to be spare experimental subjects.

Apart from this, there was no trace of living beings.

Chu Yao didn't give up hope. When she was upstairs before, her spiritual sense couldn't penetrate into the underground. Maybe there was a secret room made of the same material somewhere?

Moreover, the faces on the monster didn't seem to match the people he could recognize and the fellow disciples that Junior Sister Gu mentioned.

She began searching again in this strange underground laboratory, turning it almost upside down, but still found no possible trace.

But I discovered something else—

In the first room, she saw some handwritten documents and notes.

The handwriting was very messy and difficult for ordinary people to read. Some places were heavily crossed out, as if they were deliberately concealed. However, Chu Yao still recognized the names of several files.

"Feasibility Study on External Organ Transplantation for Class II Intelligent Psychic Users," "The Impact of High Magical Energy Environments on Specific Biological and Physiological Groups," "Progress in the Application of New Gene Editing Technologies in Malignant Tumor Research and Treatment," and "■■■■ Company's Innovative Development of Brain-Computer Interface Technology (Report)."

These papers covered a wide range of topics. Some were handwritten, and some were printed materials. They were filled with a large number of technical terms, which made Chu Yao feel a little dizzy.

But Chu Yao still found the key thing

A paper that is still being written is placed in the middle of the table. The title is very simple and clear.

"Psychic Research", signed by "Lejining".

The title was incredibly short, standing out among the long ones. Chu Yao picked it up. The paper was a full thirty-four pages, a thick stack, and it wasn't even finished yet.

"Summary: The relationship between psychics and us Celestials is ancient, as evidenced by historical records. In recent years, due to the Great Council's prohibitions and restrictions on psychic research, all types of psychic research have stagnated and are confined to a few laboratories at the Longdi Research Center, gradually deviating from their original goals... Humph, those useless people at Longdi Research, what valuable research could they produce! Without me, it would be your loss!"

...Brother, is this a summary? This is a diary, right?

It seems that Professor Lian is not in a good mental state.

His words were full of jealousy and resentment towards "Longyan". It seemed that he once belonged there, but was kicked out for some unknown reason.

What followed was full of puzzling discussions and analyses, but Chu Yao frowned as he read them, because some of the details were extremely real.

It's like this guy dissected a monk from head to toe...

Chu Yao couldn't bear to watch it any longer, but she still collected all the documents into the storage bag.

There must be more secrets of the celestial world in these papers and materials.

However, time is limited now, so let's study it later.

With such a large amount of literature, even if Chu Yao now possessed spiritual consciousness, it would be almost impossible for him to read through, understand and digest it in a short period of time.

Apart from these, there seems to be nothing special, only various instruments and computers.

Chu Yao also found a large sack filled with palm-sized metal rings.

She recognized them because she had worn them before. They were slave rings, probably taken from victims.

I actually collect this kind of stuff... Humph, what a bad taste.

Chu Yao roughly counted the number of these slave rings, and it seemed that there were a lot more than the number mentioned by Junior Sister Gu.

This is understandable. The monster just now had not only ordinary human faces, but also some strange races that Chu Yao did not recognize.

It seems that the "barbarians" that the Tian people mentioned are not only psychics, but also some other alien civilizations.

For example, one paper mentioned "Nen users", and another paper mentioned "magic stone creatures".

What are the origins of telekinetics? What about magic stone creatures? Isn't magic stone a form of energy? Can it also give birth to pups?

When we get back to Princess Ye, we’ll call Xiaoran, Qingyu and the others, and we’ll study it together.

Now that this strange laboratory has been cleared, there is only one last thing left.

Take off the dog head of Lian Jining.

Using our Tianyin Sect's people for such an inhumane experiment... I will let you know the consequences.

Chu Yao brought a chair and sat directly in the middle of the hall, waiting for him to come back.

A quick resolution would be great, but there will surely be a fierce battle between the two of them.

She closed her eyes slightly, sat quietly and regulated her breathing, gradually adjusting herself to the best state.

The Zihuang Sword in her body felt the murderous intent gradually rising in her heart, and it was trembling constantly, as if it was also eager for a fight.

Lian Jining didn't let Chu Yao wait too long, her restrictions took effect.

Soon, the sound of mechanical movement was heard outside the door. It should be that he opened the mechanism of the secret passage.

Chu Yao sat there motionless. The big-headed Lian Jining pushed the door open and walked in. When he saw Chu Yao, he didn't look surprised at all.

"Who is it?" Lian Jining, still wrapped in his heavy windbreaker, asked calmly.

"Kill your people!" Chu Yao shook his arm, and the enlarged Soul-Collecting Sword slashed towards him.

He didn't move at all, but what happened next proved that he was not slow to react. The ghost knife hit him with a sound of metal hitting metal, but did not leave any wound, only tore a gash in Lian Jining's body.

The meat is really thick.

That was just a test to test Professor Lian's abilities.

"Oh, it's a psychic? There's actually someone who slipped through the net in Xindu." Lian Jining rubbed his chin with a gloved hand. "No wonder I kept getting weird looks when I went to the association the other day. It seems it was you?"

Sure enough, it was discovered.

"Hmm... a psychic of around level 2, still alive, this is truly a rare experimental subject. Since you've come to me personally, I won't be polite."

There was a faint green light in his eyes, which made Chu Yao feel uncomfortable all over.

"Blatant human experiments are forbidden by law! Aren't you afraid of being investigated by the House of Representatives or the Yari Company?"

While Chu Yao was arguing with him verbally, she was secretly controlling the Zihuang Sword with her spiritual sense, and moving towards the blind spot of the opponent's vision by taking advantage of the furnishings in the hall, aiming for a fatal blow.

"Haha, a psychic who understands the law?" Lian Jining had a confident expression on his face. He didn't seem to care about the delay at all. He even wanted to chat with Chu Yao for a few more words. "They are nothing! A bunch of rabble, how can they understand what I am pursuing!"
