Chapter 31 Bellit 23

Obviously, Carl and his group were not the only ones who were planning to set out early tomorrow morning. Chu Cheng also planned to do so. Chu Cheng handed Sen Yi a ball-shaped object and stuffed it into his shirt pocket.

"Remember, go out less during the day. I'll let you know when you're going out at night. Try to stand on a high place like the roof or the eaves. When you get there, press the ball. Got it?"

"Got it! Don't worry, big brother. I promise to complete the mission."

Sen Yi stood straight. The mask covered his silly smile. With this outfit, he looked like he was really doing it. Just in case, Chu Cheng also asked Sen Yi to wrap his tail around his body. He just hoped that he wouldn't shake his tail wildly and burst his shirt when he got excited.

"Okay, I'm going out, you stay at the base. If everything goes well, there may be new people joining us."

"Okay!"

After hesitating for a while whether to go to the auction house or the Huzitou Bar, Chu Cheng decisively chose to go to the Huzitou Bar to contact Mole. Just kidding, he didn't want the Golden Hat to know what he was doing.

After switching to Lanspi, Chu Cheng teleported directly to the door of the Huzitou Bar, and the Mole seemed to be well prepared, standing at the door waiting for Chu Cheng with tacit understanding. When Chu Cheng heard the system tell him that the Mole was here, his first reaction was not how considerate he was, but whether this guy had installed some kind of positioning on him.

It's no wonder that Chu Cheng is sensitive and suspicious. There are too many unexpected things in this world. If you don't pay attention, you can easily kill yourself accidentally. At this time, the system considerately sounded its calm electronic voice.

[Lance, don't worry, there is no special fluctuation, your meeting should be a coincidence.]

Hearing the voice of the system, Chu Cheng walked towards the mole as usual, but his hand moved slightly.

[It seems that I shouldn't call you a little idiot, you are really useful now.]

[That's right, I will become more and more useful!]

This verified Chu Cheng's guess. It was not that the system was hiding its shortcomings at the beginning, but it became more and more intelligent after time or the investment of popularity. What is the principle? Incentive plan? But Chu Cheng still didn't understand where the advanced edge of the system was. This wave belonged to him being in the light and the system being in the dark.

The mole was right in front of him, and Chu Cheng gave up continuing to test the system. Chu Cheng's dress was quite outstanding in Bellit. After all, it was a city famous for its natural scenery. Most people wore simple and elegant clothes. Chu Cheng was conspicuous in all black. The Mole saw Chu Cheng from a distance and trotted over.

"Fool, it's almost time. What do you think we should do?"

The Mole rubbed his hands and moved to Chu Cheng's side. Chu Cheng didn't say anything, but tilted his head slightly, using actions instead of words. Seeing this, the Mole rushed to Chu Cheng and led the way.

"Let's go this way. This is a blind spot for surveillance, so your identity won't be exposed."

On the surface, it was the mole that led Chu Cheng, but in reality, it was the system that helped lead him along a path covered with weeds and bricks and gravel. Along the way, except for the flocks of birds flying overhead and the sound of tiles underfoot, it was extremely quiet, which was in stark contrast to the prosperity of Bellit, so much so that it felt a bit disconnected.

Chu Cheng always lagged behind the mole by half a body length. His fingertips passed over the wall, forming a thin layer of frost that was extremely difficult to detect. After walking for about thirty minutes, the two of them came to the back of a store. Chu Cheng estimated that this place was at least twenty or thirty miles away from the fountain in the city center.

The Mole looked around to make sure that no one was passing behind him, then he carefully took out a golden badge in his hand and installed it in the groove on the door frame. The moment the badge was installed, the system immediately issued a passive prompt.

[Warning, warning, there are strong supernatural fluctuations within one meter of the host Lance, please pay attention, please pay attention]

[Got it, turn down the volume, it's too noisy]

Sure enough, the actual location of the laboratory should be under the fountain, but it is a few dozen miles away using a teleportation gate device. But the Mole did not open the door, and turned around to face Chu Cheng.

As if sensing Chu Cheng's doubts, the Mole smiled cunningly.

"I'm just a guide, I'll open the door for you. Whatever you want to do, I'll just be a bystander, don't you think?"

Chu Cheng didn't understand what the mole meant. He didn't plan to follow Chu Cheng in, he just teleported Chu Cheng to the laboratory. In fact, Chu Cheng himself didn't plan to let him in. He had a lot of things to do, and it would be tiring to bring someone in. But Chu Cheng needed to make sure he could teleport himself out as well. He couldn't be stuck in the laboratory.

The mole understood Chu Cheng's silence, smiled and turned sideways, revealing the wooden door behind him.

"Don't worry, my big customer. I promise not to move around in this store. If you want to come out from here, just call me through the communicator. I promise to let you come out in the same condition and in one piece."

Chu Cheng said nothing, took two steps forward, and the mole retreated to the side unconsciously. With his hand on the door handle, Chu Cheng's ears were ringing with the system's prompt sound again. This time he decisively chose to mute it.

When he opened the door, it was a dark room, but it made no difference to Chu Cheng, as he couldn't see anyway. Chu Cheng walked in without any hesitation, and the door behind him closed.

After a few minutes, Chu Cheng was able to "see clearly" the furnishings in the room through the system. He was connected to the system's spiritual body, using the system as a monitor, and could roughly see some content, but it was limited to some blurry scenes, probably equivalent to a highly myopic person without glasses.

This place is not so much a house as it is a small single room, which can only accommodate four or five people close together. There are several white coats hanging inside, which are a bit like the clothes of doctors in the real world, but much more complicated, with many pocket patterns.

Just in case, Chu Cheng still changed into a white coat and put the robe back into the system space. Chu Cheng closed his eyes, and after a few seconds, Chu Cheng's body began to turn blue, lighter, and finally turned into a pool of water with his clothes. That's right, since Chu Cheng was upgraded to A, he developed a new ability, which is to turn the human body into water, or to be more precise, into any form of ice.

Theoretically, he could try to turn it into a gas, but the accuracy of his control over his supernatural powers was not enough to support him in such precise operations. Chu Cheng, who had turned into liquid, climbed up the wall and quickly got into the ventilation duct and disappeared.

Through the railings, Chu Cheng saw the researchers coming and going below. Some of them held a transparent container in their hands, which contained many unknown creatures of various colors emitting faint light. Some of them were walking fast with a pile of papers, which looked like a well-disciplined work scene with clear division of labor.

The style of painting here is very different from the places Chu Cheng has seen for so many days. The laboratories are mostly decorated in black, white and blue tones, with silver-white metal as embellishments. The overall look is very calm, restrained and rigorous. Coupled with the researchers' white coats, it does not look like a world with a background of magic or supernatural powers, but more like a research institute with cutting-edge technology.

As Chu Cheng continued to sneak in along the pipeline, a larger scene gradually appeared before his eyes. Huge glass, pure white houses, separated by cages, contained many experimental subjects, including children and adults. Some of them had long deformed tails behind them, and hard white bones pierced through their soft skin, with blood foam and bone residue.

Some had wings growing on their backs, but only half of them, not even completely covered by feathers. More were placed in large jars made of glass or crystal, which were filled with liquid with strong magical fluctuations. As Senyi said, most of the experimental subjects were failures, and the changes that occurred on their bodies were all deformed.

Chu Cheng saw many who were transforming into werewolves, but there were obvious dislocations on their faces, their eyeballs bulged out, their skin was stretched to be somewhat transparent, and the bloodshot underneath was clearly visible, as if their skulls had mutated into wolves, causing the abnormality.

On the way here, Chu Cheng hadn't seen any qualified and good-looking experimental subjects, which made Chu Cheng feel a little frustrated. The system also reminded him that these experimental subjects did not meet Chu Cheng's requirements. But the endless pipelines gave Chu Cheng hope again. The best ones must be the most securely imprisoned, and maybe we can find them if we walk a little further inside.

Fortunately, Chu Cheng was right. After walking a few hundred meters further, Chu Cheng passed a door that looked to have extremely high protection. The prisoners inside were turned into single rooms, and the number was also drastically reduced.

Excluding some people who were not so good-looking, Chu Cheng narrowed his target to five rooms. Two of them were girls with obvious fox-like features, and the other three had wings, magma attached to their skin, and vertical pupils that were probably snakes. Probably because the laboratory also knew that these people had excellent appearances, they were all locked in the same area.

But there were obviously fewer people coming in and out of this room, perhaps because the experiment had been successful, so there was no need to pay attention to it all the time, so the original two researchers left the room after checking that there were no problems.

[System, fence off the room]

[Done, ten minutes, Lance, hurry up]

After waiting for nearly ten minutes and confirming that no one would come in for a short time, the liquid dripped from the railing to the ground and spread towards the glass. The people in the room were all relying on nutrients to maintain their vital signs, and they were unable to react to seeing the strange liquid.

Chu Cheng was in front of the glass, in the center of the room. Liquid was floating up into the air drop by drop. The scene was extremely bizarre, and finally condensed into a human shape. Chu Cheng was wearing laboratory clothes, and the experimental subject didn't find him strange, and soon drooped his eyelids listlessly.

Chu Cheng reached out and tugged at his collar, and walked forward, making the floor creak. Chu Cheng tilted his head, and under the cold light, through the thick glass, he looked at the experimental subject lying on the ground in the glass, raised his arm, bent his fingers, and knocked on the glass.

"I'll give you two minutes to think about whether you want to follow me or not. If you want to follow me, move. If you don't want to follow me, just close your eyes and wait to be sold."

Before Chu Cheng finished speaking, the five people in the glass all widened their eyes and used all their strength to move towards the side of the glass.

The white-haired man with wings seemed to be afraid that Chu Cheng couldn't see him. He trembled and spread his wings, and put his hands on the glass, but this series of actions exhausted his strength, and finally he could only fall down powerlessly.

"Very good..."

Chu Cheng looked at the several experimental subjects who had a strong desire to survive and responded to his words one after another with satisfaction. He opened five teleportation gates on the spot and threw them all to the base in one breath. By the way, he sent a message to Sen Yi.

"Take care of the new colleague."

Just as Chu Cheng was about to turn into water and walk around in another room, there was a loud noise outside the door, and thick smoke rose and filled the room.

[Lance, detected a fluctuation of supernatural power in the inventory, do you want to teleport away?]

[No, redeem me a two-minute A-level word spirit]

[OK, redeemed, wish you good luck]
