The sudden sound came from the outdoor intercom hanging next to the glass window, startling the young researcher who had just changed the battery.

He quickly turned his head to look at the glass window, and then, like Li Yun who had just seen him, he also stood there in a daze.

"May I have your name?"

Li Yun asked again.

The young researcher came back to his senses and replied, suppressing his surprise: "Li An, my name is Li An."

Li Yun's eyes moved slightly, and he continued to ask: "A newcomer?"

Li An nodded and looked at Li Yun with some surprise.

Li Yun hesitated for a moment and asked again: "Li An, do you... have a sister?"

Li An was slightly startled, then nodded and said, "Yes, I have a sister named Li Xia."

“…”

Li Yun looked calm as he stared at Li An, but in fact his heart was in turmoil.

As he expected, the young man in front of him, who looked quite similar to him, was his counterpart in the parallel world.

His sister in his previous life was also named Li Xia, and because he had leukemia, his sister tried to get him to change his name to Li Kang or Li An in order to pray for Li Yun's health.

But the attending physician at that time thought that "Li" and "Li" are homophones, so Li Kang and Li An, aren't they Li Shou and Li An?

After hearing the attending physician's analysis, the sister felt it made sense and gave up the idea of ​​changing Li Yun's name.

But in this world, his parallel world counterpart actually changed his name, and judging by his appearance, it is very likely that he has recovered from his illness and joined the Ninth Category Affairs Company.

...Is this a coincidence?

Or did the other party do it on purpose?

But this is strange. He clearly did not reveal any information about his previous life. How did the other party know it?

Li Yun pondered for a moment, nodded to Li An, then turned and walked towards the room without communicating with him anymore.

Li An was somewhat puzzled by Li Yun's reaction.

He stood outside the window and looked for a while, until a layer of golden-red energy covered his body and blocked the light. Then he came to his senses, apologized a little embarrassedly, and turned to leave.

…

Soon, Dr. Schmidt came to the window.

He politely conveyed the communication signal to Li Yun before picking up the walkie-talkie.

"What's up?"

Li Yun's voice came from the intercom.

Dr. Schmidt said with a smile: "Mr. Li Yun, I hope I didn't disturb you?"

Li Yun waved his hand to remove the golden-red energy covering the glass window, glanced at the white coat outside the window and said, "Dr. Schmidt, you are the person I am most familiar with in Base No. 3. If you have anything to say, just say it!"

"Then I'll just say it straight!"

Dr. Schmidt smiled and said, "We have found some clues about your identity through some containment objects."

"If I'm not mistaken, you should also be from Earth, right?"

Li Yun glanced at him and nodded, "That's right."

Dr. Schmidt took out a photo from his arms, put it against the glass window, and asked softly, "Do you know her?"

“…”

Seeing the woman with wrinkles on her face in the photo, Li Yun looked calm on the surface, but his heart seemed to be still, and he fell into a long-lost trance.

…It’s really my sister!

Although her temperament and appearance were slightly different, Li Yun knew that the woman in the photo was definitely his sister Li Xia.

No, it should be said that she is the equivalent of her sister in a parallel world.

To use the words in "The Great Ruler", it is a similar flower.

Soon, Li Yun came back to his senses. He looked at Dr. Schmidt outside the window and said calmly, "I don't know him."

Dr. Schmidt smiled.

He put away the photo and said softly, "Please don't misunderstand. Ms. Li Xia is one of the local businessmen we support. Her brother Li An has graduated from the private university affiliated with the company and is now one of our members."

"All of the above happened before you showed up and has nothing to do with you."

Li Yun looked at him steadily, and suddenly sighed and said, "Since you have already confirmed it, why are you still asking me?"

Dr. Schmidt smiled and said, "Of course we are expressing our goodwill to you!"

Li Yun said calmly: "Oh? Kindness?"

Dr. Schmidt smiled and said, "Yes, please rest assured that we, the Ninth Category Affairs Company, are committed to balancing the world and containing anomalies. We are definitely not extremists like the Broken Temple and the Crimson Sect."

"Even if we really confirm that you are from a parallel world, we will never threaten you with your family in the parallel world. What's more, Li An and Li Xia are still members of our company..."

"Yeah?"

Li Yun said calmly: "Why do I feel that you are not sure about my attitude towards them?"

Dr. Schmidt smiled and did not directly answer Li Yun's question.

Seeing his attitude, Li Yun also understood that the company did have considerations in this regard.

In fact, after discovering that Li Yun was a humanoid anomaly who could communicate and had a friendly attitude towards humans, the base began to consider making use of Li Yun.

But the power that Li Yun possesses is too strong.

If he were to break free from the constraints of the [Unbreakable Chains], it would be difficult for the company to bring him back.

Therefore, before the plan is implemented, they must confirm Li Yun's humanity and grasp Li Yun's weaknesses.

To this end, they did not hesitate to sacrifice the lives of dozens of D-class personnel and learned some information from another humanoid anomaly containment object. The most valuable information was the appearance of the Chinese businessman Li Xia.

After investigation, the company finally learned an extremely important piece of information.

That is Li Xia’s younger brother Li An, a grassroots researcher at another base of the company. Before he was sixteen years old, his name was actually Li Yun.

After learning this information, Base No. 3 held an emergency meeting and finally came to the conclusion that "Li Yun came from a parallel world" and made a plan to use Li Xia and her brother to test Li Yun.

So, Li An was transferred to Base No. 3, and Li Xia's photo was sent to Dr. Schmidt...

This was an open conspiracy, so Dr. Schmidt didn't mind if Li Yun found out.

Li Yun did understand what they meant, but he also wanted to use the power of the Ninth Category Affairs Company to get in touch with the containment, so he showed a reaction that was in line with Dr. Schmidt's expectations.

Of course, this reaction is half-truth.

Li Yun really didn't care about himself in the parallel world, but he couldn't just sit back and watch his sister in the parallel world.

Both parties have their own ulterior motives, but they are running in both directions, advancing the progress of the "cooperation" plan in an orderly manner.

In the following half month, Dr. Schmidt brought Li Ang to chat with Li Yun almost every day.

It was not until half a month later that Li Yun took the initiative to ask to meet Li Xia. Dr. Schmidt knew the time had come and immediately summoned all base personnel above the supervisor level to discuss the issue of the "Pandora Project".

The so-called Pandora Project, as the name suggests, is an allusion to Pandora's Box in ancient Greek mythology.

When the mythical Pandora's Box was opened, all the evil in the world was released.

Although Li Yun cannot be called evil, he has the power to destroy the world and is known as the Demon King of Destruction.

Naming the plan Pandora is indeed suitable for this plan.

After some discussion, the radicals led by Dr. Schmidt and "Observer" Madden proposed that Li Yun could be given a certain degree of freedom under the supervision of at least one elite containment team.

Although this proposal is feasible, many senior executives at the base still oppose it.

Finally, after a week of negotiation, the top leaders of the base finally approved the plan named "Pandora".

However, in terms of surveillance on Li Yun, they put forward another requirement, which was to use the [Unbreakable Lock] to block the seventh floor of the entire Base No. 3, and then only open the seventh floor to Li Yun.

This requirement means that when Li Yun is released, all the staff on the entire seventh floor will also become prisoners.

Dr. Schmidt was somewhat dissatisfied with this, but under the insistence of other senior executives, he had no choice but to accept it.

So, on this day, the 'Pandora Project' was officially implemented!

This was the first time that the Ninth Category Affairs Company had reached a positive cooperative relationship with the humanoid containment since its establishment. Therefore, on the day the plan was implemented, three of the five directors of the company's highest board of directors turned their attention to Base No. 3.

"laugh--"

With a slight sound of electric sparks, the neon letters on the scrolling screen went out instantly.

At the same time, the blocking effect of [Unbreakable Lock] also disappeared simultaneously.

Li Yun just pulled lightly and opened the door with a strength no greater than that of an ordinary adult.

...This is the anomalous containment object!

When the effect is activated, just a few hundred watts of power and no more than one kilowatt-hour of electricity per hour can block energy that is enough to shatter a planet.

When the effect is turned off, even a naturally thin child can easily open the door.

While Li Yun was sighing in his heart, he took a step towards the world outside the door.

The moment he walked out of the room, the [Unshakable] effect was activated again.

Li Yun noticed the unusually solid ground, and immediately raised his eyebrows slightly, turning his head to look at the corridor on the left.

On the door of the next room, another slightly larger scrolling screen was opened synchronously, and the red letters scrolling on it were the "CLOSE" that he was very familiar with these days...

Seeing this scene, Li Yun paused for a moment, then turned around and looked at the smiling Dr. Schmidt and said calmly, "Okay, Doctor, it turns out that the data from that day not only hides the activation method of the containment, but also the number of abnormal items."

"2-159 [Unbreakable Lock], actually... there is more than one, right?"
