Chapter 293 Her? Whatever you say, I have no objection.
Chapter 293 Her? Whatever you say, I have no objection.
The ruins of Black Forest Manor looked grotesque under the cover of night.
The flames are still burning.
Thick smoke billowed, and the air was filled with the smell of burning and blood.
Chen Yifan moved through it like a ghost.
He didn't overlook any corner.
He paid particular attention to the places where the cleaners had erased any traces of the external path.
The cleaners only target external paths.
They ignore items from the psionic system.
As an agent of blood ties, Li Yuantu could not possibly only come into contact with external forces.
He must also possess items belonging to the psionic system.
For example, experimental records.
For example, special materials.
Or perhaps... his private collection.
"Found it."
Chen Yifan's gaze locked onto the entrance to a basement that had been bombed.
Beneath a charred stone slab, the edge of a metal box is faintly visible.
He walked over and used his dagger to pry open the stone slab.
An intact alloy box was revealed.
The box was engraved with complex runes, indicating that its defensive capabilities were quite strong.
[Secret Investigation]!
Chen Yifan probed the box with his mental energy.
"Items that can be stolen: 1. Li Yuantu's private diary; 2. Flesh and Blood Source Crystal (small); 3. Fusion Experiment Report; 4. Safe combination."
well.
Without hesitation, Chen Yifan chose [Steal].
The next second, the ring on his hand flashed.
Chen Yifan was slightly taken aback.
The thought had just arisen.
A complex code appeared in his mind.
"What a pleasant surprise."
Chen Yifan never expected that he could trigger the special effect of the God of Thieves' Ring.
This was indeed a pleasant surprise.
He entered the password, and the safe opened.
The "loot" then came into his view.
[Li Yuantu's Private Diary]: This diary records Li Yuantu's journey from first encountering the source of flesh and blood, to becoming an agent, and then to conducting various flesh and blood fusion experiments, along with detailed data. It mentions fragments of the "Core of the World" and some speculation about the "Supreme Divine Court" and the "Cleansers."
"The Supreme Divine Court?"
Chen Yifan was completely unfamiliar with this name.
As an agent of the Outer Gods, Li Yuantu must know many things that others do not.
This supreme divine court appeared in his private diary.
original.
The World Engine is something created by this so-called Supreme Divine Court.
He hurriedly flipped through the pages, hoping to find more information about the Supreme Divine Court.
however.
No.
These four characters appeared only once throughout the entire log.
"As expected, higher-dimensional beings do exist!"
He said softly.
From the moment he was born, he never believed in anything about job changes or talent.
This is something that is quantified.
It's like a cage, trapping everyone inside.
He didn't believe that the other party's actions were for the benefit of the world or the universe.
A moment later, he recovered from the shock brought by the Supreme Divine Court.
Turn your attention to the other items in the safe.
[Flesh and Blood Source Crystal (Small)]: A crystal containing pure flesh and blood source energy. It can be used for cultivating the flesh and blood unorthodox path, or as a special material.
[Fusion Experiment Report]: This report details Li Yuantu's flesh-and-blood fusion experiments on S-level talents, including data, failures, and successes. It mentions Su Qingxue and the conflict and fusion between her "Ice Throne" talent and the power of her flesh-and-blood origin.
His gaze darkened.
These things were more valuable than he had imagined.
Especially Li Yuantu's private diary.
This undoubtedly provided him with tremendous help in understanding the world.
He collected the items and continued his search.
About half an hour later.
Chen Yifan was certain that there was nothing left in the ruins worth the risk.
He glanced at the area that had been "erased" by the cleaners.
There seems to be some kind of invisible magnetic field there.
Even his "insight" cannot completely penetrate it.
Even if the authorities come, they probably won't be able to tell that he was here.
After confirming that he was safe, he quietly left the ruins of the Black Forest Manor.
……
Inside an unlicensed hovercar on the outskirts of Kyoto.
Xia Nan sat in the driver's seat.
A strange light flashed in the eyes behind the gold-rimmed glasses.
He stared at Su Qingxue, who was unconscious in the passenger seat.
The outstretched fingers were still gently touching the girl's skin.
"This is... an experimental subject?" Xia Nan's voice trembled slightly, filled with disbelief.
He sensed a faint yet complex power originating from flesh and blood within Su Qingxue's body.
That power seemed somewhat different from what he knew.
Could it be.
Is this woman's talent extraordinary?
Xia Nan understands the origins of flesh and blood.
That was the most evil and insane of all the underground forces in Kyoto Martial Arts University.
They admire the distortion and fusion of flesh and blood.
They conducted experiments on living people in an attempt to create so-called "perfect life."
Su Qingxue's condition is clearly a product of experiments involving flesh and blood.
An experimental subject with S-level talent—this is absolutely a top-level secret within the Blood and Flesh Source.
"Chen Yifan... what exactly did you bring back for me?"
Xia Nan's tone was full of bitterness and helplessness.
He knew Chen Yifan was very strong and special.
But he didn't expect that Chen Yifan would bring an S-class experimental subject directly out of Li Yuantu's experimental base.
This is no ordinary problem.
This is like dropping a time bomb directly on the Xia family's head.
It seems the Xia family is about to face some tough times.
He took a deep breath, trying to calm his shock.
"Xia Nan, are you alright?" Chen Yifan's voice came through the communicator.
It sounded calm, as if he had just done something trivial.
Xia Nan rubbed her temples and gave a wry smile: "What could possibly happen to me? It's you who's brought back an S-rank talent test subject; do you even realize how much trouble that will cause?"
"Trouble?" Chen Yifan's voice sounded somewhat nonchalant. "I've already taken care of the trouble. Li Yuantu is dead, and his base is destroyed. Now, no one will know Su Qingxue's identity."
Xia Nan was speechless for a moment.
He wanted to say that it was simply impossible.
The influence of the Blood Ties is widespread throughout Kyoto. Even if Li Yuantu dies, there will be other proxies.
But Chen Yifan's tone was too confident, which made him waver.
"The Cleaners," Chen Yifan suddenly uttered the word.
Xia Nan's body stiffened abruptly, and her pupils contracted sharply.
"You... attracted the Cleaners?" Xia Nan's voice became dry.
He understands the cleaners.
As a top-tier, secretive family in Kyoto, the Xia family was well aware of the existence of the World Engine and the Cleaners.
That was a terrifying existence that even the Xia family, no, everyone in the entire world, avoided like the plague.
"Hmm." Chen Yifan responded calmly, "Li Yuantu has been erased by the Cleaners. All traces of him have vanished completely. Therefore, no one will trace Su Qingxue's matter back to you."
Xia Nan fell completely silent.
Unimaginable.
How did Chen Yifan attract the Cleaners, and how did he manage to escape unscathed right under their noses?
This was beyond his comprehension.
He looked at the unconscious Su Qingxue with a complicated expression.
Chen Yifan said that no one would trace it back to him.
That makes some sense.
The Cleaners have erased Li Yuantu, so everything about him will be considered non-existent.
However, the power of flesh and blood origin within Su Qingxue's body is real and tangible.
This force will eventually attract the attention of those with a bloodline connection.
"The power within her is very mixed, even somewhat strange. However, with such mixed powers intertwined, the situation is very dangerous."
Xia Nan said in a deep voice.
"I need to bring her back to the Xia family and suppress and purify her using the family's secret techniques. But this matter cannot be known to anyone. In particular, her identity must not be exposed within the Xia family."
"Whatever you say." Chen Yifan's voice remained calm. "I have no objections. Also, the spatial anchor is quite useful; give it to me!"
Xia Nan's lips twitched involuntarily.
"good!"
Hang up the communication.
He gazed out the window for a long time.
There was a burning fire there.
In the distance, a white afterimage flashed by on the horizon.
My thoughts remained unsettled for a long time.
Chen Yifan, what kind of monster is this guy...?
