"So, Dragon, you should understand the uniqueness of this. Just lend me this little guy for a few days for research. I promise to return him with legs still legs, hands still hands!"
Listening to Yuan Yi’s words, Wu Liang had a sense that something was off.
What did she mean by legs still legs, hands still hands?
"I refuse! I’m not meeting you for the first time, don’t think I don’t know what you’re thinking? Crazy woman!" Minister Long’s tone carried a hint of warning.
Although Wu Liang didn’t know Yuan Yi or what kind of research she was referring to.
But looking at Minister Long’s expression, it probably wasn’t a good task...
"Don’t be so petty. Some research is unavoidable for the great cause of humanity combating the supernatural revival, but I will really do my best to disassemble him and reassemble him perfectly! I guarantee it’s fine!"
Yuan Yi’s words were firm and without hesitation, without a hint of joking.
This inevitably made Wu Liang’s scalp tingle again.
He finally realized the terrifying aspect of this woman.
Why would Minister Long, who had such a good temper, also speak harshly to her, even calling her a crazy woman?
Yuan Yi completely did not regard "people" as "people"; in the eyes of this woman, anything with research value was "material."
From those eyes full of determination and almost burning with fire, Wu Liang could feel that if such a special situation appeared on herself, Yuan Yi would also not hesitate to put herself on the research table for study.
Thinking of this, Wu Liang’s mind already pictured her bending over with various research instruments, dissecting his heart and lungs.
It’s crazy, but it’s true!
"Are there no normal people in the research institute..."
In Wu Liang’s lifelong perception, the impression of scientists in books or literary works was always of disheveled, research-obsessed individuals who would stop at nothing to achieve better research results.
Now it seems... this woman named Yuan Yi fits his stereotypical impression of scientists very well.
"I’ll say it again — I! Re! Fuse!"
"This is my turf. If you want to move my people, you’d better think carefully if the research institute or the big guy above can protect you!" Minister Long’s tone had become quite serious.
What he disliked about the research institute was not just their contemptuous and self-righteous attitude but also people like Yuan Yi who completely disregarded humanitarianism.
Their research was important, there’s no doubt about that.
But the means of their research were also exceedingly aggressive, which was also criticized by all Symbionts.
Hearing Minister Long say this, Yuan Yi could only sigh regretfully, telling Wu Liang, "Sorry Shadow, it seems we can’t work together. Remember to contact me at the base anytime if you change your mind."
These words not only left Wu Liang stunned but also made Minister Long frown and ask, "What do you mean? Are you staying in Chengyang City?"
If Yuan Yi said she wanted to take Wu Liang back to the Capital City research institute, Minister Long could have understood, but if she said she was staying, Minister Long was much more surprised than he was at her prior apology.
As the director of the Symbiont research at the institute, how could she not return to the Capital City?
Yuan Yi rolled her eyes in response to Minister Long, "What else? The Snake predicted another disaster in Chengyang City, expected to occur within a month. Of course, I have to come and see! This level of power is unique research material!"
Minister Long frowned upon hearing this.
He had considerable trust in the Snake’s predictive abilities, but unfortunately, the predictions were always partial.
For instance, currently, the known clues are only "two Awakened brothers," "Chengyang City," and "occur within a month."
Plus what happened today, Minister Long felt Chengyang City was becoming increasingly unstable.
Perhaps the two Awakened brothers in the prophecy were related to the mastermind behind the Dongri Grand Hotel incident. For more chapters visıt 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝⁂𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖⁂𝕟𝕖𝕥
After all, if today’s issue was not handled correctly, it could also pose a crisis threatening the entire city!
"By the way, Minister Long... have you heard of the name [Promised Land]?" Wu Liang suddenly interjected.
He found no clues about the [Promised Land] in the official files.
But Wu Liang didn’t think an organization capable of producing and modifying supernatural objects and influencing a large portion of Chengyang City’s high-ranking officials could entirely conceal itself from official sight.
Perhaps some things were simply not recorded in the archives.
Sure enough, when hearing the four words [Promised Land], what flashed in Minister Long’s eyes was not confusion or misunderstanding but a very grave and serious expression.
He wasn’t an idiot; upon hearing Wu Liang mention this organization, he immediately connected it to today’s events.
"You mean today’s issue was done by [Promised Land]?"
"Yes, so do you know their background?"
Before Minister Long could think about how to disclose information about this organization to Wu Liang.
Yuan Yi, who appeared regretful for not being able to put the special material on the research table, spoke up.
She said nonchalantly, "Isn’t it just that folk organization secretly active two years ago in the Capital City, Jiujiang, Haojing, and other places, promoting the idea that ’Ghosts are humanity’s ultimate destination’?"
"They were causing chaos in every city providing strong forces to combat Fierce Ghosts, trying to make everyone perish in the supernatural revival. They’re nothing but a bunch of lunatics."
Hearing this, Wu Liang couldn’t help but twitch his mouth.
Unexpectedly, this expert herself also had times when she called others mad?
Minister Long continued after Yuan Yi, "The [Promised Land] did a lot of horrific things back then. Because their thoughts and ideals were too shocking, potentially causing social issues, they weren’t recorded in the reviewable electronic archives."
"But weren’t they already dismantled two years ago when they were most active?"
This statement from Minister Long made Wu Liang’s eyes widen.
The [Promised Land] had long been known to the officials and was already dismantled?
Then what was the current [Promised Land], which trapped his father?
A revival of the ashes? A comeback?
"Minister Long, how are you sure that the [Promised Land] was completely dismantled? Can you share specific details?" Wu Liang wanted to know everything about this organization.
Hearing him say this, Minister Long quietly pondered for a moment.
This kind of thing should not be disclosed to other official personnel, but since Wu Liang already knew the name [Promised Land], he probably also had some unknown clues.
So, with a sigh, Minister Long continued, "I’m certain because, during that sweep of the [Promised Land], I deployed eight Zodiac members and thirty Squad Captain-level Awakened."
"On that day, two cities comparable to Chengyang City disappeared from the world forever..."
