"Follow me."

The member of the Special Ability Division said this as if giving alms.

During the tour up the Haiyin Temple, I smelled a rather unfriendly atmosphere, and my bad premonition became even stronger.

He was led to a room.

The man opened the door with the key skillfully and seemed to be very experienced in this matter.

"Go in."

Still a brief and unsettling command.

The man had a gun hanging on his waist. Haiyinsi Suyou secretly scanned the man's waist, where there was an imperceptible bulge.

He lowered his head and walked in with an obedient look, like a high school student who knew nothing about this.

It's not hard to get out of here using a vest, and the stream continues, which is a good opportunity to show what Mitchell Ender can do, but he still has some things he needs to do in his own name.

Thinking of this, he calmed down and continued to act like a lonely high school student. His flawless performance made neither the bullet screen nor the members of the Special Ability Unit notice it, or rather, they had no idea about it at all.

The room is not narrow, but it is much smaller than the bedroom at home.

If you walk slowly along the Haiyin Temple, you will get a general overview of its layout.

Rather than a bedroom, this place is more like a small single room, with even simple bathroom facilities, but no windows.

However, the furniture can be described as simple, with only an iron bed placed against the wall. The sheets and quilt covers did not seem to have been changed recently, and there was a smell of dust.

There is no room for a table here, and adding any more furniture would make the room seem crowded, but a small shelf is placed at the head of the bed, probably for the people inside to place personal belongings.

This kind of setting can only make Haiyin Temple visitors think of words like prison and solitary confinement cell.

He walked quickly towards the door, which had been closed by the man when he entered. As expected, this room, which served as a prison cell, could not be opened from the inside.

At the very bottom of the door there is a small opening that seems to be used to deliver food.

He opened the trap door easily, but even if he pressed his body to the ground, he could only see the endless corridor outside.

He reset the valve with a normal expression and walked calmly towards the single bed.

He chose to close his eyes and rest for a while.

After all, at this moment, the only thing he could do was wait.

No matter who you are waiting for.

*********

Sakaguchi Ango carefully wiped his lenses with a glasses cloth, then rubbed his brows vigorously before putting them back on.

The world has regained its peace and tranquility, but work must continue.

The phone seemed to vibrate, but now was not the time to check it.

The emergency recall notice was brought along with Yamaguchi Daichi's anxious footsteps.

The cell phone was casually stuffed into the pocket of the shirt, and hope seemed to be dimmed along with it.

********

“Crack—”

This is the sound of the door opening.

We have been here for five hours, which is not a very long time.

But if he was really just an ordinary high school boy, he would have probably been tortured by the unknown during this long wait and become sensitive and irritable.

Fortunately, Haiyin Temple Suyou had anticipated the situation and was able to remain sober.

And compared to other places, this place seems to be much "cleaner" than the outside. At least so far in the Haiyin Temple tour, I have only seen a fellow in the room whose appearance affects the city's appearance.

He raised his head and looked towards the door.

The incandescent light made his thin neck look extremely pale, and the blue veins also inadvertently outlined a sense of fragility that was just right, allowing the visitor to relax his guard against him.

The man who came in was the one who had picked him up before.

Haiyin Temple Suyou felt a little disappointed, but this was also a situation he expected.

When Ken Kosugi opened the door, he saw the high school student he had brought here earlier curled up in a corner of the bed. When he heard him open the door, he could only peek through the gaps in his hair.

Those red eyes reminded him inappropriately of a weak and harmless rabbit, and he was nothing like the dangerous person his superiors had described him as.

However, as an agent, he was cautious and reserved about his first impression of the boy. The fully armed escorts behind him also showed that the boy might not be who he seemed.

He didn't think any more, but conveyed his superiors' instructions to him briefly and forcefully.

"Please."

Seeing the armed men scurrying in from behind the man, Haiyinsi Suyou knew he had no right to refuse.

Fortunately, they didn't seem to have any intention of confiscating his things. The red notebook was still with him, and even his communication equipment was not taken away.

Or is it that their intention is to let me contact someone? This thought made Haiyin Temple's calm mood fluctuate a little.

But before he could think too much, he was forcibly pulled out of the confinement room by his arm.

After walking through countless corridors, we began to clearly feel the slope of the ground as we toured upstream of Haiyin Temple.

They kept going deeper and deeper.

Just like the feeling in the cell just now, there are very few ghosts and gods in the corridor.

The agents in charge of psychic incidents are usually psychics themselves, but neither the member of the Special Forces Unit who brought him here nor the other armed personnel seemed to have any reaction to those ghosts and gods.

We do not rule out the possibility that they are well-trained, but Haiyin Temple Travel believes that it is more likely that they cannot see these things.

This huge underground base seems to have isolated low-level ghosts and gods through some means, but some higher-level ghosts and gods can still move around in it. However, even so, it is a very difficult and huge project.

He had never heard from his parents about the existence of this underground base, nor that the base was so confidential that even his own son could not know the slightest bit.

The unknown is so scary.

There were guards on both sides, so it seemed inconvenient to look at the phone. Haiyinsi Suyou silently counted his own heartbeats. They had been walking for about an hour, but so far he had never felt tired, and the distance they had walked was also difficult to estimate.

Perhaps the walk was too long and boring, and even the barrage was much less, so he couldn't get anything useful from the "audience".

Finally, they stopped in front of a door that was embedded in the wall so tightly that it almost touched the ceiling.

But from the outside, except for the color, it almost blends in with the wall.

The man seemed to be performing some verification process, and the door slowly opened.

It might not be accurate to say that it was opened. The huge door opened from the center like petals, and behind the door was a place where no light could reach.

The tentacle-like cracks engulfed them, but the others seemed oblivious to the change.

This is a ghost, Haiyin Temple Suyou immediately made a judgment.

But being held and standing in the crowd, he felt as if he was being swallowed up by something and then quickly spit out.

When he felt the light again, a huge base came into view.

Just like a beehive, it is filled with countless rooms that can be moved around at will.

But that was not their destination, and the ground beneath their feet was made of material that could rise and fall at will.

The feeling of weightlessness came without warning, and he almost fell because of the rapid sinking.

The ground beneath their feet was still sinking, and they came into a dark place. From where the light could not reach, there seemed to be a faint roar that could never be produced by human vocal cords.

The descent finally stopped, and the Haiyin Temple upstream tour was wrapped and continued.

The dim light can vaguely illuminate things on both sides.

Some are iron fences or wire mesh, and some are transparent materials covered with runes or carved with strange patterns, perhaps glass, or something else.

Behind every window like this, something seems to be moving slowly.

[Oh my god, what on earth is this place?]

[Is there such a place below the Special Ability Division?]

[Wait, is this a prison cell? What's imprisoned in there?]

[I started to get scared. Where are they taking Haiyinsi? It doesn’t look like they are trying to save him.]

Just as guessed from the bullet screen, this is a prison cell.

The tour along Haiyin Temple gave a clearer view than the bullet screen. Behind those prison-like facilities, the people imprisoned were definitely not humans, or rather, they were things that used to be humans. There were also some people whose faces were so ugly that one could feel cold behind their backs just by looking at them through the protective measures.

This daunting journey was like a kind of intimidation and a show of force, but with the bullet screen accompanying it, the trip to Haiyin Temple felt great.

At least through this, he understood that the person behind the scenes would never put his life in any danger during this period of time.

After passing those horrible cells, he was taken into a very spacious room.

There was only one lamp on in the middle of the room, and under the lamp was a solitary iron chair.

Although the chairs appeared to have been carefully cleaned, there seemed to be some dried black matter hidden in some corners.

This is also the "cleanest" place in the entire underground base. With Haiyin Temple's current clairvoyance ability, he did not see any ghosts or gods.

The armed men escorted Haiyinsi Suyou to sit on a chair and signaled him not to move.

But as soon as he sat down, he seemed to have touched some delicate mechanism.

Some hard restraints sprang out from the armrests and the back of the chair, fixing him firmly in the seat.

The lights around him suddenly lit up, and the light above his head increased from one to three, making it impossible for him to open his eyes.

Physiological tears flowed from the corners of his eyes due to the stimulation of the strong light, making the red pupils inherited from his father become more crystal clear, just like pigeon blood rubies displayed in a jewelry cabinet.

With the neck fixed, Haiyin Temple could not escape such lights.

After his pigment-less irises had adjusted to the light with difficulty, he squinted slightly to look around.

The room is surrounded by single-paned glass.

He suddenly realized that this was an interrogation room.

A voice came from behind his head, which was a little distorted due to the conversion from sound waves to electric current and then back to sound waves:

"The trial begins."
