"A secret room?" The special agent frowned. "Young friend, can you pinpoint the location of the secret room?"
Qiqi shook her head, "The time was too short, and Qiqi couldn't use her spiritual power or divine sense to investigate, so she couldn't find it."
Thinking of the girl's injuries, the special agent sighed.
At the same time, they couldn't help but reflect that they seemed to be overly dependent on this little girl who was only three and a half years old.
"At least we've confirmed that there are indeed quite a few children being held here, and some of them are still alive. As for the rest, I'll report to my department when I get back and see if we can come up with a way to investigate further."
That's all we can do for now.
They remained silent the entire way, with Qiqi staring blankly and worriedly at the rapidly receding street scenes outside the car window.
It was already 11 p.m. when they returned to the Huo family manor.
Old Madam Huo, along with Huo Yuwei and Huo Yusen, were waiting in the living room.
As soon as Qiqi returned, Huo Yusen was the first to rush over and hug the little dumpling tightly.
"Qiqi, you're finally back!" The five-and-a-half-year-old boy's voice trembled almost imperceptibly. "Next time you do something so dangerous, you have to take me with you!"
Qiqi was a little breathless from being squeezed, so she gently patted Xiao Jiu's back.
"Brother Xiao Jiu, why are you back? Weren't you fishing at the safe house?"
"I heard you're going to investigate Tianxiang Pharmaceuticals, how can he sit still!" Old Madam Huo shook her head helplessly. Her little grandson has completely fallen for Qi Bao's tricks.
I just don't know when my grandson will be able to bring the little girl back.
Sigh, I wonder if she'll live to see that day.
Seeing the worry on Little Nine's face, Qiqi grinned and coaxed him in her childish voice, "Don't worry, Little Nine, Qiqi is fine! And Grandpa Xuanzhenzi is with Qiqi. Grandpa Xuanzhenzi is very powerful, he will protect Qiqi."
Xuanzhenzi, who was controlled by the puppet talisman, stroked his beard at the opportune moment, putting on a profound and unfathomable look.
"That's right! With me here, I will definitely protect the little girl well and make sure she doesn't lose a single hair."
Huo Yuwei walked over, carefully examined Qiqi, and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that she was truly unharmed.
He looked at Xuanzhenzi, "Senior, what is the situation inside that company?"
Following the instructions secretly manipulated by Qi Qi, Xuan Zhenzi spoke with a serious expression, "This biopharmaceutical company does indeed have serious problems. That building has been transformed into a 'yin-yang reversal' layout. On the surface, it's a pharmaceutical laboratory, but in reality, it secretly uses the souls of children to manufacture drugs that replenish soul power. Furthermore, they have set up secret rooms within the company to imprison many children with special destinies, using them as a supply station for medicinal materials. Their evil deeds are simply outrageous!"
Qiqi added from the side, "Big brother, although the aura of life there is very weak, Qiqi can feel it, it's underground! Those little kids locked in the secret room are so pitiful, big brother, let's go and save them quickly, okay!"
Huo Yuwei's eyes sharpened. "Can you pinpoint the exact location?"
Qiqi shook her head, "Qiqi was a good girl and didn't use her spiritual power, so she didn't feel anything."
"It's okay, Qiqi did a great job." No matter what, Huo Yusen always affirmed Qiqi's abilities, saying, "Qiqi is really amazing!"
The girl, who was initially feeling down, was immediately cheered up by those words.
“The exact location of the secret chamber still needs more detailed investigation,” Xuanzhenzi said to Huo Yuwei. “However, today’s investigation is only preliminary, and it is not convenient to alert the enemy. The little girl and I have agreed that we will take action three days from now at midnight, when the yin energy is at its strongest.”
"Why midnight?" Old Madam Huo asked.
Qiqi explained earnestly, "Because the Yin-Yang reversal pattern is most unstable at midnight, the barrier will fluctuate briefly. If you go in then, it won't be easy for them to find you."
Huo Yusen held Qiqi's hand tightly, "I want to go too."
"No way," Huo Yuwei and Qiqi said in unison.
Huo Yuwei frowned at his younger brother, "Xiao Jiu, this is no joke."
"I know this isn't a joke!" Huo Yusen raised his small face, his expression indifferent but firm. "I can help! I've been studying the aura fluctuation spectrum for three months, and I can help Qiqi analyze the barrier structure!"
Qiqi stared wide-eyed in surprise, "Brother Xiao Jiu, what are you researching this for?"
Huo Yusen turned his face away, his ears turning slightly red, "I...I just wanted to help you."
In fact, ever since he learned that Qiqi was a master of metaphysics, Huo Yusen began to study metaphysics-related knowledge like crazy.
A five-and-a-half-year-old prodigy managed to devour more than a dozen basic classic texts in a short period of time.
Based on scientific background and combined with metaphysical theories, he also derived his own aura analysis model.
I hope that one day I can help Qiqi instead of just being a burden and always waiting for Qiqi to come to my rescue.
Looking at his younger brother's serious expression, Huo Yuwei pondered for a moment, "Xiao Jiu, take out your research results and let's take a look."
Huo Yusen's eyes lit up, and he ran upstairs.
A short while later, he carried down a tablet computer and a pile of hand-drawn drawings.
"This is an aura fluctuation model built based on the various barrier characteristics described by Qiqi earlier," Huo Yusen pointed to the complex charts on the tablet. "Different barriers will exhibit different waveforms on the energy spectrum. And the special pattern of 'Yin-Yang Reversal'—"
He pulled up another diagram, which showed that "there are obvious troughs and peaks at midnight and noon. The barrier's defense is weakest at the trough. At the peak, any intrusion will trigger an alarm."
Under Qi Qi's control, Xuan Zhenzi curiously leaned over to look, then widened his eyes in surprise, "Little guy, you derived all of this yourself?"
"Hmm." Huo Yusen nodded, looking at Qiqi with a hint of pride. "Qiqi, can I be of any help?"
Looking at the complex charts, Qiqi could not understand some parts, but she could feel the effort that her brother Xiao Jiu had put into them.
Moreover, the little guy is also fully affirmed by his older brother, Xiao Jiu!
She softly hugged Huo Yusen's arm, "Brother Jiu is so amazing! Brother Jiu is awesome! Then Brother Jiu, can you meet Qiqi outside and help Qiqi monitor the fluctuations of the barrier!"
Huo Yusen still wanted to try to get into the venue, but looking at Qiqi's pleading eyes, he finally gave in.
"Okay... but you have to stay in touch with me at all times! If there's any danger, I'll rush in to save you the moment you're in danger!"
"Mmm!" Qiqi nodded vigorously.
Huo Yuwei watched the interaction between the two little ones, a hint of warmth flashing in his eyes.
He turned to Xuanzhenzi, "Senior, the specific action plan needs to be coordinated with the special department. They will send someone over tomorrow morning to discuss it."
"Alright." Xuanzhenzi yawned. "That's all for tonight. I need to catch up on some sleep. What about the midnight snack the little girl promised me?"
