Meanwhile, after Bai Xue and the two parted ways, Gu Changqing, far away in the capital of the imperial power, was in a different predicament than they were.
Inside the Imperial Bizarre Containment Facility, a corridor filled with white fluorescent tubes cast a soft white glow upon the people inside.
The remaining Imperial S-class Weird Squad members, having forgotten their captain's death, stood upright on both sides of the passage.
With his head slightly lowered and his left hand hanging down in front of his chest, he respectfully performed the Imperial Salute to Marshal Morris, who was walking behind him.
Morris was also in the center of the Weird Squad, with a relaxed expression on his face, and he exuded an aura no less powerful than that of the Weird Squad leader.
Marshal Maurice simply waited, his expression unchanged, as he watched Gu Changqing slowly walking towards him from 10 meters away.
Gu Changqing simply stared at Morris, who was wearing the dark gold uniform of an Imperial marshal, at the 57 Imperial medals hanging on the right side of the uniform, and at the respectful and worshipful gazes of the other members of the strange squad.
It is easy to deduce that Marshal Morris's status in the empire is probably only slightly lower than that of the emperor.
Moreover, according to what he said, the emperor invited him to the palace for a meeting, probably because he learned about the scene of his attack through the surveillance of the strange research institute.
Thinking of this, Gu Changqing suddenly remembered something else, and a plan appeared in his mind.
After analyzing this newly appeared opportunity within his divine sea, Gu Changqing confirmed the feasibility of the plan and then spoke to Marshal Morris before him:
"Can."
Marshal Maurice's smile deepened when he heard that the man before him had agreed to his request to go to the palace. He turned slightly to the side and gestured with his left hand, inviting Gu Changqing to walk alongside him.
Upon seeing this, Gu Changqing first set up a hidden array around himself to prevent any unexpected situations, and then walked to Morris's side, who was waiting to the side.
The remaining members of the eerie squad saw that the enemy who had just killed their captain was now heading to the palace with their idol, Marshal Morris.
Despite their inner resistance, the deeply ingrained beliefs kept them from voicing their doubts.
They simply followed behind the two men respectfully, bound by imperial rules, unable to betray their faith despite their helplessness.
Loyal to the empire, loyal to the emperor.
They had known this sentence since they first joined the Weird Squad, and through constant training, it had been deeply ingrained in their minds.
Despite the fact that the squad leader had saved them from countless bizarre incidents, they still had to obey the emperor's orders and dared not make a move against Gu Changqing, who was only a meter away from them.
Despite the crowd walking through the research institute's passageways, there was no sense of congestion. Morris explained the institute's structure to Gu Changqing, but only the most basic information. He wouldn't be foolish enough to leak imperial secrets to "creatures" with unknown motives.
From Morris, Gu Changqing also learned some basic information about the research institute and the empire.
Inside this research institute, the narrowest part of these passageways is 10 meters wide and 7 meters high, while in some places they are hundreds of meters wide and more than 100 meters high.
This width and height allow an army to move freely within the research institute without affecting speed and efficiency, while also facilitating the transport of large, mysterious objects in and out of the institute.
According to Marshal Maurice, this research institute is called the Imperial Research Institute. It is built several thousand meters below the royal palace. The advantage of this is that if an accident occurs at the research institute, the royal palace can learn about it very quickly and send people to deal with the accident.
This is why, as soon as Gu Changqing arrived here and killed several researchers, the Empire dispatched an S-class supernatural squad at an extremely fast pace.
Gu Changqing simply walked slowly to the side, listening silently as Marshal Morris recounted the basic information about the empire. Marshal Morris did not seem embarrassed by the lack of response from others, but continued to explain at length.
After walking for a while, many researchers appeared in the passage.
The researchers, dressed in long white coats and carrying various items or documents, merely glanced at Maurice and his group before ignoring them and continuing to walk or converse on their own.
Gu Changqing didn't care about this, and he didn't want to be bothered by these inferior creatures.
Marshal Maurice, who was standing to the side, also whispered to Gu Changqing:
"We are currently in the experimental area of the research institute. These people are all research fanatics who are only interested in studying strange objects. Please don't mind them, sir."
Hearing Marshal Maurice's words, Gu Changqing simply nodded slightly without saying a word.
Also appearing were a squad of people dressed in black uniforms and wearing full-face dark helmets, who appeared to be security personnel.
These people were different from the researchers. When they saw Maurice and his entourage, they all stopped in their tracks and began to pay homage to Marshal Maurice with imperial salutes.
Marshal Maurice nodded slightly and then ignored him, continuing his conversation with Gu Changqing.
When Gu Changqing saw the items that looked like guns in the hands of the security personnel, he released his divine sense to sense those items. After investigation, he found that the items in the hands of the security personnel were not simple guns.
It is shaped like a gun, but its internal structure contains some strange energy, unlike ordinary bullets. This energy is wrapped in a special material, and the wrench is connected to a triggering device.
With just a light press, this energy would surge out through the barrel at the front of the gun, and according to Gu Changqing's comparison, this energy should be generated by the strange object.
Based on a rough assessment, these energies can damage the monsters, so this type of firearm must have been developed by the personnel in these experimental areas.
However, Gu Changqing only observed for a while and then stopped paying attention, because the energy emitted by these guns was too weak. Even if he stood still and was shot at by this energy, he would not suffer any damage. Even if ten thousand of these guns fired at him at the same time, it would probably feel like a gentle breeze.
