Chapter 106 Old Files of the Pure Gate, Experiment Subject No. 1
The underground of the Resources Institute.
The deepest part.
There are no windows or lights here.
Only rows of sealed cabinets embedded in the black stone walls stand quietly on both sides of the corridor.
A faint metallic smell permeated the air.
There's also a musty, decaying smell, as if it's been hidden from the world for years.
Each sealed cabinet is engraved with the silver emblem of the Resource Institute.
Beneath the emblem are intricate arrays of authority symbols.
Everything sent here is either a forbidden experiment that has been abandoned or a historical record that cannot be made public.
Qin Yue stood at the end of the long corridor.
In front of him was a black stone door.
There is no name on the stone gate.
There is only one very small number.
Old gate archive area.
Qin Yue raised his hand and pressed his elder token in the center of the stone gate.
hum-
The silvery-white array patterns lit up layer by layer.
Immediately afterwards, three more light red lock patterns appeared.
This is the highest level of storage restriction.
Even with his authority as the head of the resource center, he still needed to verify three times.
Qin Yue remained expressionless.
A drop of blood was forced from the fingertip.
Fresh blood fell into the array patterns.
A dull thud came from inside the stone gate.
Click.
Click.
Click.
The three barriers were opened one after another.
The heavy stone gate slowly parted to both sides.
A deeper, colder aura surged out from behind the door.
Qin Yue went inside.
The space behind the door is not large.
There was only a black stone table.
On the stone table sits a dusty, sealed box.
The surface of the sealed box does not have the silver pattern commonly used by the Resource Institute.
Instead, they were faint white ring-shaped marks.
Qin Yue's gaze darkened slightly as he looked at the white marks.
White Pagoda Seal.
The earliest sealing method used by the Stargate Research Institute.
It was also a unique mark used by the Cleansing Gate Project twenty years ago.
He reached out and brushed the dust off the sealed box.
On the lid of the box, a few words, already somewhat blurred, slowly emerged.
The Clean Door Project.
Qin Yue stared at those five words and remained silent for a long time.
He then opened the sealed box.
Inside was a stack of yellowed paper files.
In Longyuan City today, almost all records have been converted into energy.
Paper archives, on the contrary, mean that this content is not to be easily retrieved, not to be easily copied, and not to be known by too many people.
Qin Yue took out the top portion.
The cover of the file reads:
Experiment subject number one.
Name: Sealed.
Age: eleven years old.
Source: Old Third District.
Preliminary assessment: It is suspected that it can generate stable resonance with the door.
Qin Yue slowly turned the pages.
The first page contains the basic records of Experiment Subject No. 1.
The handwriting is cold.
It's like recording an item.
First adaptation experiment: After the experimental subject came into contact with the micro-door gap, the fluctuation of the door gap decreased by thirteen percent.
Second adaptation experiment: The test subject heard an echo from inside the door while in a dream state.
Third adaptation experiment: The experimental subject can temporarily prevent the spread of pollution.
Fourth adaptation experiment: The experimental subjects showed obvious rejection reaction, and it is recommended to reduce the frequency of the experiment.
Qin Yue continued flipping through the pages.
The text that followed began to become disorganized.
Some areas were even deliberately blacked out.
Fifth adaptation experiment: The experimental subject refused to enter the core chamber of the White Tower.
Sixth adaptation experiment: The test subject saw an unknown door shadow in his/her dream, and it was suspected that he/she was being watched in reverse from inside the door.
Seventh adaptation experiment: Accident.
Qin Yue's fingers paused slightly.
Below the seventh adaptation experiment, there are only a few lines.
The door gap is out of control.
The attempt to seal off the core chamber of the White Pagoda failed.
Experiment subject number one has gone missing.
Eleven of the researchers involved died.
Final record: An echo still lingered inside the door.
Qin Yue's gaze darkened as he looked at the last line of text.
An echo could still be heard from inside the door.
This statement sparked a long debate within the Institute of Resources back then.
Some believe that Subject 1 did not die.
She was simply swallowed by the door.
Some people believe that the so-called echo is just pollution residue.
Regardless of the specific type, the Cleansing Gate Project was thus shelved.
Since then, the White Tower has closed its deepest core chamber.
Until now.
Qin Yue saw Lin Xiaoya again.
The black door pointed at her multiple times.
The old door beneath the Star Source Pool reacted to her.
Dreams, reality, and the Star Source Pool—these three anomalies all prove that she is no ordinary child.
Qin Yue slowly closed the file.
The voice was very low.
"Lin Xiaoya".
"Is there a second one who has attained purity?"
He raised his head and looked in the direction of the white pagoda.
That place is where the Stargate Research Institute is located.
This is also the place where the Pure Gate Practitioner Plan was sealed off back then.
"If you really are the second one."
"Then we can't just handle it according to the rules of ordinary universities."
……
Starry Courtyard.
The night was deep.
Lin Xiaoya did not sleep well.
She dreamed that she was standing in a very long, white corridor.
There are no windows on either side of the corridor.
The walls were blindingly white.
One light after another shone down coldly from above.
She was standing barefoot on the ground.
The ground beneath my feet was cold.
In the distance, a ticking sound could be heard.
Like the sound of water.
It's like some kind of instrument running slowly.
Lin Xiaoya looked around blankly.
"elder brother?"
no respond.
She instinctively wanted to walk forward.
But as soon as they took a step, blurry figures suddenly appeared on the white walls on both sides of the corridor.
Those people were wearing white robes.
The face was obscured by the light, making it impossible to see the facial features.
They looked down at her.
He was holding a silver-white ring in his hand.
Inside the ring, a thin, ethereal blue light flowed.
Someone spoke in a low voice:
"The adaptation response is stable."
"We can proceed to the next observation period."
"Those who are pure of heart must not remain outside."
"Put on the observation ring."
"Enter the core chamber of the White Tower."
Lin Xiaoya's face turned pale, and she retreated repeatedly.
"I'm not going."
"I need to find my brother."
Those people in white robes showed no emotion.
He simply approached her step by step.
"For Longyuan City."
"For the stability of the stargate."
"For the safety of more people."
"You should cooperate."
Lin Xiaoya turned and ran.
But the corridor seemed to have no end.
No matter how far she ran, those white lights remained suspended overhead.
The footsteps behind me grew closer.
The pale blue light on the silver ring grew brighter and brighter.
Just then.
Suddenly, a door appeared in front of us.
The door was half open.
There was no light coming through the crack in the door.
There was only a bottomless darkness.
Lin Xiaoya stopped in her tracks.
She was afraid of that door.
But the white-robed figure behind him was still getting closer.
Just as she was wondering what to do, a very soft voice came from behind the door.
She looks like a girl.
The voice was very weak.
But it carried an urgency.
"Don't trust them."
Lin Xiaoya was stunned.
"Who are you?"
The girl behind the door continued:
"Don't wear the observation ring."
"Don't go into the White Pagoda."
"Don't trust them."
Lin Xiaoya's face turned pale.
"Are you inside the door too?"
There was a moment of silence behind the door.
Then, the girl's voice became even softer.
"I can't get out."
next moment.
The white-robed figure behind Lin Xiaoya had already arrived behind her.
A cold hand pressed down on her shoulder.
A silver-white ring fell towards her forehead.
Lin Xiaoya wanted to shout.
But my throat felt blocked.
Just as the ring was about to touch her—
boom!
A wisp of red lotus fire pattern suddenly lit up from the center of her forehead.
The white corridor collapsed instantly.
The white-robed figure was swallowed up by the crimson flames.
The half-open door trembled violently in the firelight.
The girl behind the door called out one last time:
"Don't go to the White Pagoda!"
……
"what!"
Lin Xiaoya suddenly woke up with a start.
She sat on the bed, panting heavily.
My forehead was covered in cold sweat.
The room was dark.
Only the silvery light filtering through the crack in the stargate outside the window softly illuminated the floor.
She instinctively looked towards the doorway.
A figure was already standing there.
Lin Yuan.
I don't know how long I stood there.
When Lin Xiaoya saw him, her eyes immediately welled up with tears.
"elder brother……"
Lin Yuan walked to the bedside.
"Were you dreaming?"
Lin Xiaoya nodded.
She tried to calm herself down, but her voice was still trembling.
"I dreamt of a very white place."
"Many people want to put a ring on me."
"They told me to go to the White Pagoda."
"Another girl behind the door told me..."
She paused for a moment.
She said, "Don't trust them."
"Don't wear the observation ring."
"Don't go into the White Pagoda."
Lin Yuan's eyes turned slightly cold.
White Pagoda.
Observe the ring.
He didn't ask any further questions.
Lin Xiaoya is still trembling.
He simply reached out and pressed his hand against her forehead.
A wisp of warm blood and qi slowly flowed into her body.
Lin Xiaoya's tense body finally began to relax.
"elder brother."
"Is that girl locked inside?"
Lin Yuan shook his head:
"have no idea."
Lin Xiaoya whispered:
She seemed very scared.
Lin Yuan remained silent for a moment.
"Then remember her words."
"Um?"
"Don't go into the White Pagoda."
Lin Xiaoya nodded vigorously.
"Um."
Lin Yuan stood up.
I walked to the door.
His palm rested on the door frame.
Dark golden energy flowed silently into the wooden door frame.
next moment.
On the inside of the door frame, a very faint red lotus blood pattern appeared.
It was a kind of blood and qi seal compressed to the extreme, embedded in the boundary of the entire room.
bedside.
windowsill.
floor.
corner.
Strands of red lotus patterns lit up one after another, then quickly disappeared.
The entire room felt as if it were enveloped by an invisible deep sea.
Lin Yuan withdrew his hand.
"Go to sleep."
Lin Xiaoya stared blankly at the disappearing blood patterns.
"Brother, was this left by Senior Bloodstain?"
Lin Yuan glanced at her.
"Um."
Lin Xiaoya whispered:
"He's so good to us."
Lin Yuan remained silent.
I just turned off the light for her.
"sleep."
Lin Xiaoya lay down again.
This time, clutching the corner of the blanket, she gradually calmed down.
With my brother here.
There is the protective mark of the senior in the Blood Sect.
We probably can't get into that white area.
Lin Yuan walked out of the room.
The moment the door closed, his eyes turned completely cold.
White Pagoda.
Resource Institute.
These monsters and demons have already started reaching out.
……
The next morning.
Just as the morning light began to illuminate the courtyard of the Starry Sky Clan, a knock came at the door.
Lin Xiaoya was not fully awake yet.
She rubbed her eyes and walked out of the room.
Lin Yuan had already opened the door.
Two resource institute recorders were standing outside the door.
They were dressed in silver-white recorder uniforms, holding a formal notice in their hands.
One of them noticed Lin Yuan and his expression tightened noticeably.
But I still forced myself to speak:
"Lin Yuan".
"Official notification from the Resources Institute."
"Due to the Star Source Pool incident, Lin Xiaoya exhibits an unknown reaction."
"To protect the safety of myself and Longyuan Academy, the Institute of Resources and the Stargate Research Institute have jointly decided to conduct a second Stargate compatibility test on Lin Xiaoya."
"Retest location".
"The White Pagoda".
After he finished speaking, he handed over the notice.
Lin Xiaoya, standing behind Lin Yuan, turned pale the moment she heard the words "White Tower".
The voice from last night's dream seems to be ringing in my ears again.
Don't go into the White Pagoda.
Do not wear an observation ring.
Don't believe them.
Lin Yuan glanced down at the notification.
The notice was stamped with the silver emblem of the Resource Institute.
There is also the white tower mark of the Star Gate Research Institute.
The writing is beautiful.
The reasons are also quite complete.
Protect yourself.
Risk assessment.
Confirm compatibility.
To ensure the safety of the university.
Lin Yuan stared at those words without a flicker of emotion in his eyes.
It was just a slight movement of the fingertip.
scoff.
The notice was torn in two.
The expressions of the two resource institute recorders changed instantly.
"Lin Yuan!"
"This is official notification!"
Lin Yuan raised his eyes.
"She's not going."
The recorder gritted his teeth:
"This was a joint decision made by the Resource Institute and the Stargate Research Institute."
You have no right to refuse.
Lin Yuan looked at him.
"Send the elders to me."
The recorder wanted to say something more.
But the next moment, he suddenly felt the air at the entrance of the courtyard become heavy.
It felt as if an invisible hand was pressing on his neck.
His voice was stuck in his throat.
Lin Yuan didn't look at them again.
boom.
The courtyard gate was closed.
Two recorders stood outside the door, their faces pale and their backs covered in cold sweat.
Only when that heavy feeling disappeared did they feel as if they could breathe again.
One of them spoke in a trembling voice:
"Go back and inform Elder Qin."
"How arrogant! Daring to defy the elders."
……
Resource Institute.
Qin Yue's expression gradually turned cold after hearing the recorder's report.
"Did you tear up the notice?"
The recorder lowered his head.
"Yes."
"What else is there to say?"
He said…
The recorder swallowed hard.
"Let the elders go to him."
boom!
He crushed the teacup in Qin Yue's hand.
Tea dripped through his fingers.
His eyes were gloomy.
One Qi and Blood Realm Level 1.
Relying on the Blood-Faced Ancient Cultivator behind him.
They actually dared to openly tear up the joint notice from the Resource Institute and the Star Gate Research Institute.
"it is good."
Qin Yue slowly stood up.
"Since he refuses to cooperate."
"Then let's do it the way we do it."
The deacon beside him asked in a low voice:
"What does the elder mean?"
Qin Yue said coldly:
"Suspend some permissions for Lin Xiaoya's Starry Courtyard."
"Restrict going out."
"Freeze the supply of non-essential resources."
"Until she completes the second retest."
The deacon's heart skipped a beat.
"Won't this anger the Blood-Faced Ancient Cultivator?"
Qin Yue's eyes were icy cold.
"We didn't take her away."
"It's just adjusting permissions according to procedure."
"Even if Marquis Zhenxing asks, there are rules to follow."
After he finished speaking, his gaze fell on the Cleansing Gate Project files on the table.
"Lin Xiaoya must undergo a retest."
"She must go into the White Pagoda too."
……
The Black Tower of the Celestial Patrol Bureau.
When Gu Changye heard the news, he was looking through the records of the Qin family's secret guards' soul lamps going out.
The subordinate whispered:
"Sir, the Resource Institute has suspended some of Lin Xiaoya's privileges."
"The reason is that she refused to undergo a second test for stargate adaptation."
Gu Changye stopped turning the page.
He looked up, and the smile on his face gradually faded.
"Did Qin Yue really do that?"
"Yes."
Gu Changye remained silent for a moment.
He then chuckled softly.
There wasn't much joy in that smile.
Instead, it carried a hint of unspeakable irony.
"Qin Yue, oh Qin Yue."
"You're forcing him to kill someone."
"What an idiot."
