Over the next few days, Ning Yu visited several well-informed people in the city, trying to glean more information about the mysterious organization. However, these people either remained tight-lipped or claimed they had never heard of it. This deepened Ning Yu's suspicions; the organization's ability to erase all traces so easily meant its power was far greater than he had imagined.

By chance, Ning Yu learned from an old scavenger that there had once been a secret research institute in the western suburbs of the city, which was said to have conducted some forbidden experiments before the nuclear war. Connecting this to his own being framed and the "conspiracy" mentioned by the mysterious man, Ning Yu had a sudden inspiration; perhaps the answer he was looking for could be found there.

The research institute was long abandoned, and an eerie atmosphere permeated the ruins. Ning Yu carefully avoided the rubble and weeds on the ground, meticulously searching for any valuable clues. Finally, in a half-collapsed laboratory, he found a locked metal box.

He pried open the box, and inside was only a stack of yellowed paper documents. Ning Yu flipped through them and found that these documents contained research data on supernatural abilities, as well as information on some experimental subjects. One of the documents clearly bore his name, and next to it was a photograph of himself!

Ning Yu's heart skipped a beat. He eagerly flipped through the document and discovered it contained a record of the experiments conducted on him after his capture by the research institute, as well as the analysis of his supernatural abilities. One passage made his pupils shrink: "Subject 073 has enormous potential for supernatural abilities, but his control is unstable and requires further suppression..."

Suppression? Could it be that his superpowers have been suppressed by some force, preventing him from fully unleashing them? A flash of inspiration struck Ning Yu. He seemed to have grasped a crucial clue, but the rest of the document was encrypted with a strange password, making it unreadable.

"We must find a way to crack the password!" Ning Yu put away the documents and was about to leave when suddenly, a chilling killing intent swept over him from behind...

"Who is it?!" Alarm bells rang in Ning Yu's mind, and his body instinctively dodged to the side, narrowly avoiding a fierce energy attack. Debris flew everywhere, leaving a deep scorch mark on the wall.

"You reacted pretty quickly." A cold voice came from behind the ruins. Accompanied by a series of chaotic footsteps, five men dressed in black combat suits and wearing masks slowly walked out, each with a dangerous energy glow in their hands.

"It's you again?!" Ning Yu recognized these people at a glance. They were the same people who attacked him in the cave before. It seemed that they had not given up the pursuit.

"Hand over what you have, and I'll give you a quick death," the leader said coldly, his tone filled with undeniable intimidation.

Ning Yu's eyes narrowed; he knew that a peaceful resolution today was impossible. He gripped the documents tightly in his hand, and an invisible energy wave emanated from his body, sending rubble flying and raising a cloud of dust.

"You think you can stop me?" Ning Yu sneered, his eyes filled with disdain and provocation.

"You're courting death!" the leader roared, launching the first attack. The energy ball in his hand shot towards Ning Yu like a meteor. The other four also attacked simultaneously, their multicolored energy blasts weaving into a net of death, sealing off all of Ning Yu's escape routes.

Ning Yu dared not be careless; these people were all formidable, and their teamwork was impeccable, clearly indicating they had undergone rigorous training. He moved with ghostly speed, dodging and weaving, searching for an opportunity to counterattack amidst the dense attacks.

Boom! An energy blast grazed his shoulder, the violent explosion making his eardrums ring. Ning Yu knew things were going badly; at this rate, he'd be worn down sooner or later, he had to finish this quickly!

He took a deep breath, and suddenly, a violent surge of energy erupted from his body, as if a sleeping beast had finally awakened...
