"Lady Bai Yueyue, it's so nice to see you again."
"Lord Zhou Qing, I am also very happy to see you again."
Bai Yueyue had never been to the capital before, so she chose to teleport herself to the outskirts of the capital and then call Zhou Qing to pick her up.
"Then please get in the car, Lady Bai Yueyue," Zhou Qing already knew what Bai Yueyue was going to do over the phone. "Dean Xu Qingfeng is already waiting for you."
"Okay." Because they wanted to finish as soon as possible, Bai Yueyue's arrival was very sudden this time, and once again Hu Meier was not brought along. The task of serving Bai Yueyue was also taken care of by Zhou Qing's personal attendant.
Through the car window, Bai Yueyue saw this "giant" in her mind for the first time. To her surprise, the outer area of the capital was like hell, but the inside of the capital was not affected at all.
Moreover, the closer you get to the center, the more you feel like you've traveled back a hundred years.
“Lady Bai Yueyue, this is the upper-class noble area of the capital. The nobles who live here all have their own families, and the castles they live in are also passed down from their families,” Zhou Qing explained. However, Bai Yueyue was not here to visit; if she could, she would not want to come to the capital.
Vehicles were scarce; most people walked, and each nobleman was accompanied by at least four attendants. Even the "slums" of the capital were filled with the aristocratic atmosphere.
This is a completely different lifestyle from Asia City. Bai Yueyue was certain that she would have a very difficult time living here.
The Supreme Research Institute was located in the eastern part of the city, near the Wang family's residence. Of course, Bai Yueyue didn't recognize where it was.
After an hour's journey, Bai Yueyue entered the Supreme Research Institute, where Xu Qingfeng was already waiting at the entrance.
"Lady Bai Yueyue, after the test of time, we are finally able to meet you." Xu Qingfeng led the researchers to bow to Bai Yueyue.
"Lord Xu Qingfeng, after a long and arduous journey, I have finally met you," Bai Yueyue returned the greeting.
"Then, please follow me, Lady Bai Yueyue." Xu Qingfeng took the lead, with Bai Yueyue following behind him, and the others, including Zhou Qing, also followed behind Bai Yueyue.
After a journey of more than ten minutes, the group arrived at the bottom of a building. As the mechanical door opened, the scene inside left Bai Yueyue in disbelief.
"Lord Xu Qingfeng, how could you possess so many monster remains?" Bai Yueyue looked at the monster corpses submerged in an unknown liquid, sensed them briefly, and confirmed that they were completely dead.
“Lady Bai Yueyue, no matter how terrifying they are, they are just mutated creatures of this planet,” Xu Qingfeng explained, then waved to the researchers behind Bai Yueyue, who then left to return to their respective posts.
"But even if they've mutated, they shouldn't be this terrifying, right?" Bai Yueyue knew very well the destructive power of these monsters; this was something that simple mutations couldn't achieve.
Xu Qingfeng nodded slightly, and one of the researchers pulled up many pictures. Among them, Bai Yueyue immediately spotted Nianxin.
"Lady Bai Yueyue, these people are the source of the mutation. Or rather, these people themselves are mutants. They were just ordinary people, but they gained special powers because of an alien life form that did not belong to this planet. Therefore, they founded an organization called the Ten Directions Tribunal."
Xu Qingfeng continued to explain: "The above are the known members of the Ten Directions Tribunal. We once captured one of them and learned that there are ten strongest individuals within the Ten Directions Tribunal, numbered from one to ten. Unfortunately, we currently only know about the two, four, five, six, seven, eight, and nine of these leaders. As for the leader, number one, we have absolutely no information about him."
"Wait, since they can obtain power from the alien life forms you mentioned, why don't you choose to do the same?" Using magic to calm herself, Bai Yueyue withdrew her gaze from Nianxin's photo and asked.
"Lady Bai Yueyue, please look." In the center of the laboratory, three pillars emerged from the ground. Each pillar was divided into ten layers, and each layer contained a purple insect.
"Ugh, so ugly!" Bai Yueyue looked at them with disgust, while also restraining herself from throwing a fireball at them with magic.
"Lady Bai Yueyue, these are alien life forms. Their internal structure is composed of substances never before discovered on this planet, and despite our extensive research, we have been unable to uncover their principles. Named by His Majesty the Emperor, we call them alien insects."
"These insects can grant people unparalleled power?" Bai Yueyue wondered, thinking of Nianxin and the guy who could change his shape.
"Yes, but we can't figure out the principle behind it. We only know that the alien insects give humans power in a parasitic way. The weaker the creature, the easier it is for the alien insects to drain its life force. According to our estimation, the human body can last up to ten years. At the same time, creatures parasitized by the alien insects become irritable and ferocious, and humans also amplify their inner desires and bloodlust."
"For example, Seven from the Ten Directions Tribunal, in our investigation, was initially just an introverted high school student, but after being parasitized, he chose to kill his father and mother. The same is true for the members of the Ten Directions Tribunal we captured; they all undergo drastic personality changes, and it's impossible to confirm whether they still have their own will. At the same time, they cannot actively break free from the control of the alien insects. We cannot utilize such power."
Listening to Xu Qingfeng's explanation, Bai Yueyue frowned and asked, "How did His Majesty order the disposal of these people who were parasitized by the alien insects?"
“Those addicted to meth, whether by their own will or not, have committed acts that harm society and should naturally be dealt with according to the law.”
"I understand." Bai Yueyue nodded. No matter the reason, countless lives had been taken by them, and the harm they caused to others was unforgivable, just like Xiaoya and Zhang Yuyao. "Then let's begin your plan."
