Ji Xian suddenly realized that this made sense.
No wonder so many monsters suddenly appeared here; it must be related to that mad scientist, Eisen.
Ji Xian said, "Take us to see him."
Emily shook her head: "I killed him just a few days ago."
"What?!" Ji Xian exclaimed again, "How could you kill your father?"
Emily laughed and said, "He calls me his father, but we have absolutely no fatherly affection. He only likes to do research. If we really had fatherly affection, I wouldn't be in this state now."
"Ah, this, this..." Ji Xian didn't know what to say for a moment.
Lingling said, "Even if he's dead, take us to his lab."
Emily then looked at Zero: "You seem to know him and me very well. Who exactly are you?"
Lingling said, "I am his research result, just like you."
Emily's gaze towards Zero Zero softened, "Okay, I'll take you there."
Eisen's laboratory is very large and has countless pieces of equipment.
Even more surprisingly, there is a space here filled with manuscripts and experimental logs.
Lingling immediately went to check these experimental logs.
She quickly flipped through the journals.
She is artificial intelligence, capable of quickly recording these logs.
After Lingling finished reading, she tossed a logbook to Ji Xian to read.
Ji Xian knew that Lingling must have given him this book because it contained important information.
Ji Xian began to check:
"I've detected abnormal energy in the Kunlun Mountains more than once, and today I've finally arrived. Sure enough, there's a protective shield formed by an energy field here..."
"I've been studying it for days. This protective shield isn't man-made; it seems to be naturally formed. But how could something naturally form like this? It's so strange; I can't figure it out. But it's okay. This is the legendary paradise. There's no high-tech interference here. Living here is truly comfortable..."
"I originally planned to enjoy my retirement quietly, but I couldn't resist doing some research. I unexpectedly discovered this strange cave. It clearly doesn't have the conditions for life to survive, yet creatures keep coming out. I really can't resist anymore; I have to enter this mysterious cave..."
"The cave is so deep! This must be the Earth's core, or at least not far from it. There's even a huge lake here. Now I know where those creatures came from. Some small insects wandered here, drank the lake water, and mutated. It's amazing! Creatures in other parts of Earth mutate directly, but the creatures here mutate after drinking the water. I think I've guessed something. I need to verify it..."
"As expected, my guess was right. There are many tributaries here, and the water from these tributaries flows to all parts of the earth. It is this water that has caused the earth's mutations. Yet, there is one tributary whose water is pure. This makes me think of my previous hypothesis: the earth possesses its own will..."
"I'm not a good person anyway, I don't care about the will of the Earth, I just like doing research, so let this lake help my research..."
"..."
Ji Xian flipped through the logbook.
The reason why the monsters in the Desperate Cave are getting stronger has been found.
Through conversations with Emily, it was learned that the monster surge of the past few days was caused by Emily releasing all the monsters in the area.
As for Murong Baixue who was captured.
Emily also led Ji Xian to a room.
Although Murong Baixue was bound by spider silk and somewhat mentally unstable, she was not injured.
Emily said, "I was so bored that when I released those monsters, I ran to the vicinity of the cave entrance and saw you killing monsters. I was afraid that you would kill me as a monster, so I grabbed one of you and brought you here to chat with me."
Ji Xian remained silent.
But they also knew this was good news; Murong Baixue was alright, and the people outside must be very happy.
Ji Xian said, "This is Murong Baixue. She can't be left here by you. I'm taking her away. Our main purpose in coming here is to take her away."
Emily nodded: "Okay."
Ji Xian kindly asked, "So what are your plans for the future, and what will you do with the things here?"
Emily said, "I want to go outside and see the world. As for what's here, I don't care. I have no attachment to this place at all."
Ji Xian thought for a moment and said, "Then let's destroy this place."
Lingling stopped her, saying, "There's no need to do that. This place is unmanaged by humans. It will operate for a while, but it won't continue to develop more advanced monsters. Just leave it here. The people of Kunlun Imperial Capital need a place for trials."
Ji Xian thought it made sense; leaving it alone was the best way to handle it.
When Lingling carried Murong Baixue on her back and handed her over to City Lord Murong Jue, they were overjoyed.
Murong Jue wanted to host a banquet to express his gratitude, but he didn't even get to see Ji Xian.
Ji Xian led Emily out through a secret exit of the Desolate Cave, and they did not encounter any humans.
Emily's appearance is not suitable to be seen by humans, lest it arouse suspicion.
Following the signal from Ji Xian's bracelet, Lingling quickly reunited with Ji Xian.
Ji Xian promised Emily that he would definitely help her regain her human body.
Sophia, who is planning to go against Ji Xian, has developed a drug that can turn people into half-human, half-beast beings. Perhaps she also has a drug that can reverse this transformation.
Even if all else fails, there are still reefs and islands where biological research is conducted; there will always be a way.
Ji Xian took Emily back to his base.
At this moment, Ji Xian also dressed Emily. Although no human would be attracted to her half-human, half-spider appearance, she still had to have a sense of shame to turn back into a human.
