Chapter 151: Dark Nest (One-Day Lab Tour. Limited Edition)
This time, "07" did not hint at letting the young man lead the way.
The young man stood up on his own initiative, without any funny greeting, and smiled brightly and sincerely: "Then let me lead the way this time, Elder Bai, please come this way." 】
[The leader will wake up soon, and we can chat for a while on the way... But allow me to ask. 】He pointed to his head, [Why doesn't Elder Bai use this method to inform the leader of your whereabouts first? 】
I don’t have that kind of thing in my mind. "Bai Day" curled his lips, [On the day when I officially joined the Dark Nest, there was no such advanced thing at that time. 】
[The leader's trust is precious, I will not let you down. 】
「07」 was stunned.
Is that so? He thought so.
It turns out that in the siege against the Dark Nest two years ago, besides the leader, there were actually some believers who survived.
"07" actually had not yet joined the Dark Nest that year, but even if he did not participate in that eradication, no cultist would forget the humiliation of that day. The government and the guild colluded with each other and severely injured the leader. Fortunately, the existence of the black fog allowed the Dark Nest to survive and regain its current glory.
The black fog saved their lives one after another. The master behind it is the object of reverence of everyone in the Dark Nest, an existence that can only be called "God". The leader is the one who is closest to "God" and even possesses the power bestowed by Him.
In the Dark Nest, the leader knows everything. 「07」I have never seen his real face, but I have had the honor of communicating with him in my mind. However, due to the serious injuries he has not yet recovered, the leader has too little time to wake up.
Therefore, as long as the experiment on the energy body is successful... the leader will be reborn and will surely lead them to the true dawn.
"07" has been longing for that opportunity to come, and now, "Elder Bai" holds an important position and has quietly returned, which is like the sound of a loud bell, making his heart beat wildly and his blood flow backwards... Maybe this is the opportunity he has been waiting for!
[The experiment on the energy body is about to be completed.] 】「07」sigh softly.
"Bai Zhou" had no idea what the young man was thinking in that short period of time. His pale cheeks turned flushed, and he almost thought that he was suddenly ill. However, the other party looked very energetic with his face covered and his eyes bright.
Fortunately, the boy explained the abnormality himself: [I'm sorry, Elder Bai, I was a little too excited. This body and my soul are really not compatible...]
[Let’s go.] 】「07」 He narrowed his eyes and smiled happily,【It just so happens that now is the time for a short break in the laboratory... We can chat with them. 】
In the picture, the two people smiled at each other in a friendly atmosphere.
The comments were in chaos, and for a moment I didn't know what kind of comment I should make to match this situation where I wasn't sure whether it was a backstab or a sincere one.
"I'm scratching my head everyone :)"
"Cartoonist, you better not cut it off at an inappropriate place. If I don't know today whether this black-robed man is daytime or not, I won't be able to sleep well for the whole week :)"
——
The location of the laboratory is the best among the many twists and turns.
The further you go in, the more luxurious the decoration style becomes. Bai Ri looked at this expensive building and the various luxury items embedded in the walls, and began to wonder where the Dark Nest got so much money. Is there a person with supernatural powers who can turn stones into gold, or is there a mysterious hidden hunting spot in the outside world?
Or did the gold coins be confiscated by the believers who joined?
There were flying insects hiding cautiously in the corners, closely following the group's route. People with sensitive five senses looked over there, waved their hands in disgust and chased it away, but the insect nimbly dodged it and disappeared into a crack.
Why do I feel like there are so many mosquitoes today? The man thought with a frown.
After passing a long corridor and turning right, you will see a long wall, which is the passage to the laboratory.
"07" He took a step forward skillfully, raised his head and pressed hard on a brick. Then thick fog wrapped around his fist, seeped into the wall and disappeared, with intermittent clicking sounds.
Is Dark Nest so smart? The daytime raised an eyebrow.
After a few breaths, "07" suddenly spoke: "Come to check the progress. We have a distinguished guest, open the door."
There were a few responses from inside the wall, and then the wall flipped 90 degrees, revealing two passages. At the same time, the believers who opened the mechanism for them were also revealed.
It turns out to be semi-intelligent. The expression disappeared during the day.
The young man turned around and gestured to him, "Elder Bai, please go first. We will go to the right."
The young man nodded slightly and walked past him slowly inside.
This was his first time to actually "visit" the Dark Nest's laboratory. Although I was able to watch the spectacular explosion from a distance during the first airdrop, the experience was far inferior to experiencing it in person.
Yes, he is coming to blow up the Dark Nest again.
It was a pleasant surprise that the leader had not yet woken up, which saved them from the risk of being exposed and allowed them to reach the target location in one step. If the leader of the Dark Nest happens to be awake, the best he can do is to create a mess here. Since he doesn't know where the laboratory is, the chances of successfully blasting the destination will be greatly reduced.
"We must not let them successfully develop an energy body." The light ball muttered in Bai Zhou's ear, "Qi Heng is already beyond the standard, what will happen if he is really created?!"
"Don't worry, Xiaoguang," the young man reassured himself in his mind, his tone calm.
"Now that we're here, the only thing you need to consider now is whether or not to meet with the leader, not the inevitable event of the laboratory being bombed."
"But if you plan to meet this leader, we must be prepared to fight."
Bai Zhou smiled and said, "How about it? Are you confident that you can make a mess of this place?"
Wumatu has gone to look for the area where the leader lives. This taciturn partner has changed several bodies. Maybe it’s because they are underground, but people here hit insects as soon as they see them, and during the day they can only watch the remains of the flying insects slowly fall to the ground, without even a speck of dust left.
[I'm lost.] ]The calm voice of Wumatu suddenly came from the earphone.
Bai Zhou let out a wow.
[There is a confusing formation underground, I am trying to break it. Now I'm going to change the bug and fly out again. ]Wu Ma Tu continued to speak calmly.
Bai Zhou did as he was told and helped cover up a few things for this hardworking partner.
After thinking for a while, the light ball made up its mind: "Since we are here, we are here."
"Then let's do it thoroughly and mess up the Dark Nest! That's what the heat value is used for anyway. We are no longer the same as we were half a year ago!"
Yes, after enduring so much hardship and having my life at stake so many times, wouldn't I be letting down my past self if I didn't make a big mess here with the culprit?
Bai Zhou chuckled, "That's exactly what I meant."
——
In the comics.
The layout of most laboratories is the same. The extreme whiteness, the orderliness in the chaos, and the researchers with pale faces and dark circles under their eyes, as if they had been dead for seven days.
It's no different from the government's. In addition to the luxurious decoration style and the research direction which is completely opposite to the orthodox one.
In an open cubicle, someone was strapped to an electric chair. A strange instrument was pressed against his temple, and his hands and feet were locked tightly like an animal. Even his mouth, the only part that could express his pain, was tied up, and he could only make rapid gasps due to the severe pain of the electric current.
A row of people were all like this. From the lack of any energy fluctuations in their bodies, we can tell that they are all ordinary people.
This is a new batch of goods. Only those who have survived the hardship are qualified to become victims of this great experiment. 】
"07" hummed a cheerful tune and introduced himself to Bai Zhou. His face was full of pride: [The people with special abilities are locked up in the next room. We need to extract the purest energy from them. After modification, we can now extract a person's energy for a long time without killing them. This perfectly maximizes the benefits. 】
[However, due to the special structure of the room, you can only check it after the extraction is completed. The resistance of that group of superpowers is very fierce, which may make you unhappy, so the best time to observe them is after each session... Even if you pull out their nails, they will be as quiet as dead, which is very interesting. 】
"Daytime" stared at the door for a few breaths: [Really? 】
[I don't have this hobby. Let's wait until the extraction is finished before going in. 】
In the picture, the young man with his eyebrows covered remained silent for a long time, the corners of his lips still curved, and his black robe hung on the steps. He suddenly became very quiet, staring at the closed door as if he was distracted.
The young man at the side looked at him in confusion but said nothing, for fear of disturbing the elder's thoughts.
[Let’s go to the main laboratory first.] 】Perhaps he came back to his senses, and turned around with a smile on his face, his expression the same as before, [All decent psychics are the same... It's annoying to look at them. 】
In the empty laboratory, his whispers were silenced.
——
The tightly closed door slowly opened as the two approached, and the group of believers who were of no use behind them were naturally dispersed by "07". Bai Zhou and the boy stood together. On both sides of the laboratory were guards who were on guard at all times. Their supernatural powers were approximately A-level or above. Because of the arrival of the two, they seemed to be a lot more relaxed, and even had the leisure to steal glances at the strange "elder".
It was so easy for Bai Zhou to sneak into such a strictly guarded place, which made him feel amused for a moment.
“「07」Elder. The leading researcher bowed to the two men, then raised his head and looked at the young man hesitantly, "And this one..."
"Elder Bai." The young man tilted his head lively, "I just came to ask about the progress. You need to meet the leader in a quarter of an hour, so don't neglect it."
The word leader is really a pass in the Dark Nest. Hearing this, the researcher instantly became energized and hurriedly bowed to Bai Zhou again, with his head almost hitting his legs, demonstrating his superior flexibility.
Could it be that the Dark Nest leader’s special ability is “brainwashing”? Bai Zhou helped the researcher without changing his expression. Otherwise, why does every cultist act like they have lost their mind when they hear his name?
"I was undercover in the government for a while." The elder in black gilded robe had an oppressive aura around him, making people believe his words. "Let's put aside the matter of energy bodies. Do you know what the government is developing now?"
"this……"
Unexpectedly, the topic suddenly changed. Several researchers looked at each other, and after a few seconds, they asked tentatively: "I don't know much about the recent days. I only heard from Elder Lu Qingyuan that the government has begun to recruit ordinary people."
Upon hearing a name he didn't like, "07" smacked his lips in displeasure.
Bai Zhou chuckled and said, "Yes, ordinary people. It's just another inexplicable outburst of kindness. It's not important."
The young man and the researchers immediately raised their chests, waiting for the young man's next speech. The expressions on their faces were pure, and it was obvious that they really had no idea about the government's current movements. No matter where the laboratory was, it was a very secretive piece of information. Lu Qingyuan has been running around outside recently, so it's normal that she doesn't have time to inquire.
After all, the other undercover agents were eliminated in the Battle of Zhuolu. The instigator smiled and said nothing.
Could it be that the government has started to play tricks on the Dark Nest during this period? "07" He was ready to fight and thought carefully, but couldn't figure out what it was, so he cursed Lu Qingyuan viciously in his heart.
"..." Bai Zhou, who was waiting to speak, did not say anything.
Under everyone's gaze, he pondered for a moment, like a riddler who didn't care about life and death and was just entertaining himself, and then he let out a leisurely laugh.
"Ha, forget it. It's not something that needs to be explained right now." Bai Zhou slowly opened his mouth. "After all, this is the area that Lu Qingyuan is in charge of. Let's wait for her to communicate herself."
Anyway, he was just trying to find out the news channels of the Dark Nest and had nothing to say.
So the researcher and the boy slowly typed a question mark. They did not express their opinions on identity-based oppression.
Could it be that Elder Bai wanted to give the opportunity to that idiot Lu Qingyuan? After a brief thought, "07" found a suitable explanation and thought he had suddenly realized it.
Bai Zhou quickly changed the topic again, this time to the original focus: "How is the progress of the energy body?"
"Very good." The researcher was also confident this time.
"All indicators are normal, and the body has been condensed to about 70% to 80%. The success rate of this batch is much higher than the previous batch. As long as there are no accidents, the first test fusion can be started on time."
At that time, the fusion of soul and energy body will be completed, and then the comfort and harmony can be adjusted. A physique with natural affinity is the most perfect carrier. The souls of believers will no longer be disturbed by the black fog, but they can still use the power of the black fog at will.
When that day comes, it will be the end of righteousness and the dawn of a new life in the world.
The researcher had a fanatical look on her face, and around her were people who looked just like her. It was like a scene of fanatics worshipping a god, and the mere sight of it was enough to make one's heart shudder.
The daylight interrupted her.
"Okay, stop wasting time," he said. "I'm too lazy to listen to you guys reading it out. Bring the document over here and I'll read it myself."
Glancing at the reports piled up on the side, Bai Zhou lightly waved the report he was holding, not trying to hide his demeanor of throwing it away after use.
"Then you won't have to stay around me."
Saves trouble.
