Chapter 1632: Chapter 951: Who Else?! (Part 2)

However, they finally arrived at a place with a sign of the Patrol Defense Office at the gate. This place was quite large, and Yang Xiao also saw the words "Experimental Base" with guards armed with guns patrolling outside.

Chief Wu’s car had green lights all the way, passing through four gates, and finally stopped in a warehouse-like area after a large iron door slowly rose open.

Yang Xiao was immediately stunned upon getting out of the car; the area was vast, equivalent to three or four football fields. He looked up and saw under the spotlights, thick metal pipes as wide as tin barrels supporting the massive structure like a steel skeleton, with the building reaching at least 30 meters high.

The area was divided into various sections, some covered with glass domes simulating different natural environments. At a glance, there were deserts, rainforests, swamps, and small-scale towns constructed within, with experimental personnel dressed in various attire shuttle through, setting up antennas and arranging all sorts of odd instruments.

"This is the Provincial Office’s experimental base, primarily responsible for technical issues and research on Resentful Eye. Professor Cui is in charge here." Wu Qingcang paused, turning his head to look at Yang Xiao, "Is Professor Cui your uncle?"

"Yes, Professor Cui takes good care of me. I’m an orphan, and he is like a guardian to me." Yang Xiao’s identity helped him greatly.

"Access here requires security clearance; it’s very stringent. For the first few gates, you need to find Professor Cui to handle the credentials. I’ll manage the latter two for you; Professor Cui cannot enter here." Wu Qingcang took out a pitch-black card, swiped it on the elevator door, and the previously dark elevator panel unexpectedly lit up, followed by the sound of mechanical operations.

The elevator was very large; it seemed ordinary from the outside, but upon entering, it was extremely deep, enough to hold two connected gurney carts.

As the elevator descended, Yang Xiao noticed the place had three underground levels. However, once the elevator stabilized at the third underground level, Wu Qingcang didn’t get out but instead took out a white card, swiping it on an elevator sensor light behind him. With a "beep," the stable elevator continued to descend.

This time took longer, and Yang Xiao speculated that the underground space was quite expansive, located deep below the surface to form an underground world.

Sure enough, as the elevator doors opened, the scene before him left him in awe. Although the space was smaller than the surface building, it was still as large as one and a half football fields. The previous generation Patrol Defense Office personnel had excavated an underground world here.

Before Yang Xiao could see the environment clearly, someone from behind pushed him, causing him to stagger and stumble out of the elevator.

"Survive, I’ll come for you in half an hour." As Yang Xiao turned around, he saw the elevator door closing, the last sight being Wu Qingcang’s indifferent face through the gap.

The elevator rose again, leaving him abandoned in this unfamiliar ghostly place.

With no other options, Yang Xiao drew the Human Bone Staff, sensing multiple presences instantly; there were others here.

"Hai... Hai Hai..." A man emerged from the darkness of the corner, continuously coughing. The man, about 40 years old, had a sallow complexion as if gravely ill, his violent coughing making Yang Xiao fear he’d cough up a lung at any moment.

"Hai... Hai Hai..." The man struggled to lift his head, slightly removing the handkerchief covering his mouth and looking at Yang Xiao with an awkward smile, weakly saying, "Come out... come out and see, we have... we have a new friend here."

Soon, people began to emerge one after another from nearby darkness.

"Who are you? State your name." A man in a cloth outfit with a wooden gong tucked in his waistband asked.

"Hehe, night watchman, do you think he even needs to say his name?" An exquisitely dressed lady licked her lips, "Even if he escapes the butcher and Desire Demon, I won’t let this tasty morsel slip away."

"Newcomer, let me give you a tip: if you can make me laugh in three sentences, I’ll grant you a swift end, how about that?" The lady laughed vibrantly.

"Auntie, stop laughing, you can’t hide all those wrinkles." Yang Xiao’s voice was just audible to everyone. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com

Sure enough, the lady stopped laughing the next moment, and it was the others who were chuckling this time.

"Hahaha, I’m starting to like this kid; Butterfly Lady, you’re old enough to stop pretending to be young every day, doesn’t it disgust you? Ugh~~" The butcher, holding a bone-cutting knife, laughed boldly. He wore a blood-stained rubber coat, had a burly frame, and couldn’t contain his protruding belly.

"This kid’s skin is really tender, I like him. Don’t leave; serve me well today, and I’ll cover you in the future." Alias Desire Demon’s eyes looked at Yang Xiao like a wolf seeing a sheep, with eyes flushed with desire and a ghostly, unsatisfied look.

There were a total of nine people around here, namely Sick Ghost, Night Watchman, Butterfly Lady, Butcher, Desire Demon, these five already known by their nicknames, and four others who hadn’t spoken.

There was a kawaii little loli holding a large hammer, a masked person dressed like an ancient street performer, a large monk wearing a wooden mask with only a narrow slit, and an old Taoist with a wooden sword, whose face looked shriveled.
