"Lu Qing, I need your help!" Yan Ruijin pleaded sincerely.
Lu Qing had long guessed that Yan Ruijin would come to find her, so she wasn't surprised.
"Then lead the way. The sooner we finish this, the sooner we can go home. My master and mistress are waiting for me!"
Lu Qing got into Gu Xicheng's car, and Gu Xicheng followed Yan Ruijin's car, and soon they arrived outside the research institute.
"I'm sorry, Lu Qing. No outsiders can enter this place without permission. I even had to submit three reports to get permission for you to enter. So I'll have to trouble your boyfriend to wait outside."
Lu Qing glanced at Gu Xicheng and nodded slightly: "Alright!"
"Wait here for me, I'll be out soon."
Gu Xicheng smiled and said, "Go ahead, be careful!"
Lu Qing followed Yan Ruijin into the research institute, where she underwent three checks at the main entrance.
All sharp objects and electronic devices, including mobile phones and earphones, are prohibited.
It can be said that once you enter this place, even staff members are only allowed to use the internal mobile phones and computers.
The place was quite large, but there weren't many people, and they were all wearing the same work clothes.
Before going in, Lu Qing changed into the clothes of someone inside to avoid attracting attention.
Yan Ruijin led her through each department, observing the faces of each person in order to find traces of the spy.
After searching extensively, Lu Qing looked at at least twenty people, but none of them were a problem.
"The people at the research institute have looked everywhere, are you sure it's not there?" Yan Ruijin asked.
Lu Qing shook her head: "They are all normal, there is no problem."
Yan Ruijin sighed heavily:
"There's only one place left."
Yan Ruijin looked at the innermost laboratory. There weren't many people in the room, and everyone was wearing the most stringent protective suits and masks.
Leng Zishan was also among them; he was probably one of the most core members of the research institute.
“If the problem lies with the people inside, then it’s a huge problem!” Yan Ruijin said coldly.
After peering out the window for a while, Lu Qing said:
"They're all wearing masks, I don't have X-ray vision, I can't see them!"
Yan Ruijin: "Wait a moment, I'll have Dr. Leng bring everyone out."
Lu Qing nodded.
Not long after, Leng Zishan used the excuse of a meeting to bring everyone to the conference room.
After everyone took off their masks, Lu Qing examined their faces one by one, but in the end, he still shook his head.
"Officer Yan, it's not here either."
"That's impossible! Everyone's here. Are you sure you saw it clearly?" Yan Ruijin asked.
Lu Qing replied, "I'm sure! Is there really a spy inside the research institute?"
Yan Ruijin now doubted his own deduction.
"If it weren't for a spy, none of those things could have happened!"
Just then, a staff member walked by carrying a cage of white mice.
Lu Qing suddenly sensed an unusual aura and immediately shouted:
"etc!"
The staff were startled:
"W-what's wrong?"
"Where did these white mice come from?" Lu Qing asked hurriedly.
The staff member frowned, noticing Lu Qing's unfamiliar face:
"Who are you? I haven't heard that any new people have joined the research institute!"
Yan Ruijin immediately identified himself:
"I'm from the Ministry of State Security. I'll answer her question."
Upon seeing the identification, the staff member quickly replied:
"These mice were used for experiments and are already dead. I need to take them to a specific place to be incinerated for sterilization."
Lu Qing squinted at one of the seemingly half-dead white mice and asked again:
"Where did these lab mice come from?"
"The mice used in experiments are all from special culture sites, and these mice are all taken from these culture sites."
"It seems that's where the problem lies."
As he spoke, Lu Qing opened the cage and picked up one of the white mice.
The staff tried to stop them, but it was too late, and they could only say in a panic:
"Put it down right now! It's almost dead and it carries a virus. How can you handle it with your bare hands!"
Lu Qing smiled and said, "Are you sure it's about to die? It seems so lively to me!"
Lu Qing held the white mouse by its tail and hung it upside down.
Seeing that it was still pretending to be dead, Lu Qing snapped his fingers, and a fire talisman instantly appeared under the white mouse's body.
It was not afraid of ordinary flames, but Lu Qing was using Samadhi True Fire.
The white mouse immediately squeaked and screamed from the heat, then began to speak in a human voice, shouting:
"Stop burning! Stop burning! Have mercy!"
This scene terrified the staff member, who turned pale and retreated repeatedly.
"The mouse...the mouse is talking! The mouse is actually talking!"
Yan Ruijin quickly grabbed him:
"Don't shout! Keep this to yourself and pretend you know nothing about it."
The staff member swallowed hard and then nodded.
Yan Ruijin brought over the remaining white mice and said to Lu Qing:
Let's go to the training center again!
Lu Qing nodded, wrapped the white rat demon in a talisman, and then threw it into the cage.
Yan Ruijin felt a little scared:
"It shouldn't run away, right?"
Lu Qing: "Are you questioning the power of my talisman?"
Yan Ruijin chuckled awkwardly and waved his hands repeatedly:
"No, no, no! I was just asking casually!"
The training site was not far from the research institute, and Yan Ruijin and Lu Qing arrived quickly.
As soon as Lu Qing entered, he smelled a strong demonic aura.
Just then, a short man with a long, pointed face and beady eyes walked out.
The moment Lu Qing saw him, her eyes darkened.
The true form of the rat demon was completely exposed in Lu Qing's eyes.
Sensing the threatening aura emanating from Lu Qing, the rat demon stood still, not daring to take another step forward.
At this moment, the white mouse in the cage shouted:
"Boss, run! She's a Taoist priest!"
The next second, the rat demon darted out and fled quickly, with Lu Qing giving chase.
The rat demon disappeared underground and quickly vanished without a trace.
Upon seeing this, Lu Qing formed a hand seal:
"Throughout the six directions and within the four seas, demons and monsters hide, but a single talisman can be used to trace them!"
Lu Qing gave a low shout, stomped her foot on the ground, and a golden light radiated outwards from her.
Not long after, there was a loud bang, the ground exploded, and the rat demon was blasted out of the ground.
It didn't even have time to care about its injuries; it immediately transformed into its original form, becoming a giant rat thorn that darted away.
"You actually dared to run away!"
Lu Qing sneered and then chased after him again.
The rat demon sprinted ahead, almost leaving a blur in its wake.
Lu Qing pursued it relentlessly, yet showed no hurry to catch it, as if he wanted to exhaust it to death.
Just when the rat demon was on the verge of despair, it suddenly saw Gu Xicheng standing by the roadside.
It is said that the Celestial Master protects all living beings. If it has taken this man hostage, it can threaten Lu Qing to let it go.
So, the rat demon used all its strength to rush towards Gu Xicheng.
After Lu Qing noticed this, his gaze sharpened:
"Gu Xicheng, watch out!"
Upon hearing Lu Qing's voice, Gu Xicheng instinctively turned around and saw a giant rat rushing towards him.
