Chapter Nine: The Underground Palace



Days passed by like this.

Zero would have them undergo simulated combat training every day, and after the training, they would also have them use a mental device to train their mental strength.

The base area seems unchanged, but some people are constantly transforming and growing.

Just when Zero thought everything was going in a positive direction, Ye Hao suddenly told Zero that Ah Hu had left.

Upon hearing this news, Zero was suddenly taken aback.

He slapped his forehead suddenly; how could he have forgotten about Ah Hu?

Originally, I thought I could just put a light film on Ah Hu and observe his condition every day. However, after the Thirteenth Legion was established, I was busy with many things and actually forgot about Ah Hu.

Zero couldn't help but feel extremely annoyed.

Ah Hu reportedly left without telling anyone.

The people who discovered Ah Hu's departure only realized something was wrong when they went to Ah Hu's room and found it covered in dust, as if no one had lived there for a long time. Only then did they report it to their superiors.

It was only later, when Ye Hao relayed this information to Zero, that Zero found out.

What caused Ah Hu to leave suddenly?

Everything was normal before, and it was precisely because it was too normal that even Ling lowered his guard.

However, they overlooked the power of the purple tentacles inside Ah Hu's body—those tentacles could constantly mutate, and Zero didn't even know exactly how many forms they could take.

Speaking of which, I wonder what happened to the purple tentacles that split in the petri dish in the observation room.

Having learned from Ah Hu's example, Zero couldn't help but feel a little worried.

With that in mind, he stopped worrying about Ah Hu's situation and focused on checking the space.

Back in the room, he found a spacious spot, opened the spatial portal, and checked the situation in the observation room—

However, they discovered that the purple tentacles, which had originally split into five branches, had split again, and seemed to have gained consciousness.

Consciousness entity?

Could it be that the purple tentacles, after undergoing further evolution and mutation, might become an independent consciousness?

Therefore, Ah Hu's sudden departure may not have been his intention.

Or is it that his original consciousness no longer exists?

It seems there are more and more mysteries.

First, purple tentacles appeared out of nowhere, then Ah Hu was parasitized, then the purple tentacles split and evolved, Ah Hu suddenly left, and the purple tentacles mutated again... It seemed as if all of this was being controlled by some unseen hand.

...

Somewhere underground.

A man walked stiffly, and if you looked closely, you would notice that his left foot seemed to be putting more force on it than his right foot.

He walked step by step, as if something was guiding him forward.

The path seemed to lead underground, and the deeper he went, the louder the sound of his feet rubbing against the ground became.

"Tick-tock..."

"Tick-tock..."

The dark, damp, and cold underground palace slowly emerged.

There's actually an underground palace hidden here!

Just before reaching the palace, the man finally stopped.

It was very quiet here, seemingly devoid of any signs of life. Only the enormous black palace stood before them.

"You've arrived?" A dry, hoarse voice rang out, adding to the oppressive atmosphere of the dark underground palace.

The man standing in front of the palace raised his head.

If Ye Hao and the others were here, they would definitely recognize this person. That's right, this is Ah Hu who left.

Now, you could say he is him, or you could say he isn't.

"How many times has this mutated?" the hoarse voice asked again.

"Three times." A brief and crisp answer, devoid of any emotion.

"Very good." The cold voice carried a hint of ruthlessness.

"Alright, go back to where you belong."

"Yes." The answer remained as mechanical as ever.
