Bai Yucheng, now a prisoner, was taken away, but Gan Pengpeng didn't follow. Instead, he left with great interest.
After Bai Yucheng was pushed into the cell, he saw two people huddled in the corner.
"Brother Bai, how did you get arrested too?"
Xi Yang was filled with despair when he saw Bai Yucheng. He was still hoping that someone outside could save him, but then another one came in.
"Because he's stupid."
Xia Yao offered a sharp critique, noting that the snake's attitude was completely different from before.
"She seemed terrified."
Xi Yang offered an awkward explanation.
"She won't be scared out of her wits, that's just the kind of person she is."
"What, Miss Xia, aren't you going to use your beautiful face to seduce men and become a Black Widow who devours them alive?"
They're all ancient foxes, what are they doing playing at Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio?
Xia Yao, having been exposed, sneered: "That's better than you running away and getting caught. What else is that but stupidity?"
"Who said I was arrested?"
Bai Yucheng was not happy about this.
He's already sacrificed so much, how can he still be criticized?
He tugged at the collar around his neck, as if trying to tear it off.
"Stop dreaming. This kind of material is designed for superhumans. It's impossible to get it."
"Just wait to die."
After Xia Yao faced reality, every word she said struck a chord deep within Xi Yang's heart.
"There are still others, there is still hope."
His answer earned him a look from Xia Yao as if he were an idiot.
"Why would they save you? They couldn't even run away in time. Or do you think you're important to Qin Tan?"
"People like her are the most decisive."
"I can't give up on you just because I can't find an opportunity to do so."
Xi Yang was aware of the stark reality, but he just didn't want to accept it.
But Qin Tan really didn't need to risk coming to his rescue, and the two of them had no relationship.
Xi Yang's eyes dimmed, and she retreated to a corner to shut herself off.
"Have you finished talking?"
Bai Yucheng, on the other hand, sat on the ground with one knee bent, looking more like a fashion model than a prisoner.
"Just wait and see, maybe things will turn around."
He didn't know what the turning point would be; he could only wait for the angel to appear.
Or rather, Qin Tan's actions.
...
In the laboratory, as night deepened, some researchers, unable to stay awake any longer, left their posts.
After finishing their work last night, Qin Tan and Angel went to the room of the two people whose identities they had taken over and temporarily hid there.
Time passed slowly, and when the clock struck three in the morning, Qin Tan heard a knock on the door.
"Walk."
"In another hour, those worms will emerge from their cocoons. Before that, we need to find something and get out of here."
All night long, Qin Tan simply followed and looked at the angel's back.
What are you looking for?
The plans here are all arranged by angels.
"Find the core of Number One."
In the dim light, the faint groans emanating from the laboratories were the wails of hell.
They made their way to the very center of the laboratory, where someone was guarding it.
It's just that this is the time when it's easiest to doze off.
This place has always been safe, which has made the guards complacent.
Qin Tan gestured for the angel to stop, and at her feet, the shadow moved toward the two guards under her command.
Two blood-red figures appeared behind them, embracing them and dragging them into the blood-red abyss.
After easily dealing with the two guards, Qin Tan went inside.
There are documents and some locked cabinets here.
A quick glance reveals records of experiments conducted here, seemingly documented at fixed times and locations for reporting to Tianchi.
"Here."
The angel walked up to a cabinet and stopped.
It was a complex composite mechanical lock.
The Grim Reaper's scythe pierced the sheet metal, making a scraping sound, and a tear was ripped open. The angel reached in and took out a heart.
Its flesh and blood heart is no different from that of a human.
"This is my father's masterpiece."
"Although Father wanted my brother to go into Body Number One, he preferred that my brother remain a pure human being rather than a robot."
"So he is researching how to combine these human organs with robots."
The mechanical creations of the sun god were primarily human beings undergoing mechanical transformation, while here the transformation is primarily mechanical humans transforming into humans.
Both directions presented Qin Tan with certain results.
This heart, even without the nourishment of a physical body, is still alive, which is quite incredible.
"The core of Number One is here."
Tianchi pointed at the flesh and blood, then ruthlessly tore open the heart and took out what was hidden inside.
It is half a white snake-shaped pendant.
As soon as the object appeared, Qin Tan sensed the heavy abyssal pollution within it; this was no ordinary pendant.
At the same time, sirens blared throughout the laboratory.
"It seems my brother knew I would come looking for this."
“He tampered with it, and he'll know as soon as I get my hands on it.”
"We don't have much time left, Qin Tan."
After smiling at Qin Tan, the angel ripped open his own chest right in front of Qin Tan.
Inside, exposed, is an equally vibrant heart.
The angel stuffed the half of the pendant inside.
Despite being a foreign object, it seemed to have already become part of the whole, and the heart successfully swallowed it.
The angel closed his chest again, straightened his clothes, and was spotless.
"I also have half a pendant in my heart."
"The reason why Number One and I are special is because of this pendant."
"And this pendant was found by my brother."
“I don’t know what the pendant does, but my father secretly cut it in two and put it into my body and Number One’s body without telling my brother.”
"Once it's taken out, death will ensue."
As the angel walked out, he casually spoke to Qin Tan.
"I promised you that I would give you what's in my heart, and I will keep my word. But before that, I still have things to do."
"Qin Tan, we can go back now."
Qin Tan knew that the angel had many secrets he hadn't told her, but there was no time to ask now.
Saying I want to go back is not so simple.
The defenses throughout the mountain were activated, and Qin Tan could hear many people surrounding them.
Qin Tan, carrying the Grim Reaper's Scythe, walked to the side. Just as she was about to make her move, she was stopped by an angel.
"I'll handle these. You wait a bit longer; we'll need your strength later."
Without waiting to see if Qin Tan understood, the angel stepped forward, moving at a speed that surpassed human limits.
Electric currents flowed through her body, and her ten fingers transformed into sharp steel claws.
Anyone touched by her would either have their skin torn open or their belly ripped open.
Angels have a brutal fighting style.
Blood stained her beautiful blonde hair, and her deep blue eyes held a resolute expression.
There were quite a few superhumans and staff who came to besiege them. When the two sides stood together, the angel was not at all at a disadvantage.
