I am the Holy Poisoner, the Empress advised me to calm down

A hint of sadness filled the air, and the villagers lowered their heads. Lu Yining gently patted Xiaohua beside him and said, "Don't be sad. Lao Wang sacrificed his life for justice. We should be proud of him."

Xiaohua nodded and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. "You're right, he's a hero to all of us."

Just as everyone was immersed in the atmosphere of commemorating Lao Wang, a young woman jumped out of the ambulance. She was wearing a police uniform and had a sharp look in her eyes. She walked up to Lu Yining and introduced herself, "Hello, I'm Lin Yao from the Special Operations Team, in charge of this case. My colleagues in the technical department just told me that the evidence you provided is very important and crucial to uncovering the dark side of this illegal experiment."

"Hello, Officer Lin," Lu Yining responded politely. "What should we do next?"

"First of all, I want to thank you for your cooperation," Lin Yao said sincerely. "We will send the suspect to the Municipal Bureau as soon as possible and conduct a comprehensive analysis of the information we have collected. But I suggest you go back and rest first. I will notify you when there is any new progress."

Just as they were about to leave, a voice suddenly came from the crowd: "Wait!"

Everyone turned around and saw an older man holding a worn map. His face was filled with nervousness and anxiety. "Listen, my friends! I heard that besides this mine, there's also a secret laboratory hidden not far away on the other side of the mountain."

Everyone present was stunned when these words came out, even the experienced Officer Lin. "Is this true?" Lu Yining asked.

"It is indeed true, but it is heavily guarded and ordinary people can't get in." The uncle replied.

"Then we should investigate further, maybe we can find more clues." Sheng Nanting said firmly.

"But that's too dangerous," Xiaobin said worriedly, "and we don't have any weapons or enough equipment."

"It's okay," Lin Yao continued. "If such a place really exists, our police will be responsible for investigating and handling it. Please rest assured."

Despite this, Lu Yining still felt a lingering fear, because she knew that this matter was far from as simple as it seemed...

"No matter what, we must find out the truth." As she said this, there was a light in her eyes that never went out.

A few days later, when Lu Yining was sitting at the table sorting out information related to recent events, his cell phone suddenly rang - it was a call from Police Officer Lin.

"Hello, hello."

"Ms. Lu, we've found exact information about the location of that secret laboratory," a slightly hurried voice came from the other end of the line. "However, due to the complex terrain and the enemy's powerful firepower, it will be difficult for the police alone to break through the defense line. So I hope you can lead a few villagers familiar with the terrain to cooperate with our operation."

Hearing this, Lu Yining immediately realized what this meant. "Okay, leave it to me." She hung up the phone and immediately contacted Sheng Nanting and several other core members.

"It seems that things are not as over as they seem," Lu Yining announced the latest situation after everyone gathered. "We need to take action again to find and destroy that hidden laboratory."

"This operation is more dangerous, please act with caution." Sheng Nanting reminded.

"No matter what difficulties lie ahead, we will persevere to the end." Xiaohua stated firmly.

As everyone was discussing the details, someone was secretly observing their every move from a distance. It was a man with ordinary looks but a sly look in his eyes. He was secretly recording everything with his phone...

"Will they succeed? Or in other words, can they come back alive?" The man sneered, turned around and disappeared into the darkness.

At the same time, in a luxurious villa in a distant city, a stern-faced man was staring at the constantly refreshing news on the computer screen, with a cold gleam in his eyes: "Hmph, since you are determined to seek death, don't blame me for being merciless..." He muttered to himself, with a sinister smile on the corner of his mouth.

As night falls, everything seems ready, waiting only for the perfect moment to unfold. And at this moment, Lu Yining and his companions embark on their journey, heading towards the unknown and danger. No one knows what awaits them, but one thing is certain—this journey is destined to be extraordinary... The night is as dark as ink, the stars are bright, and the mining area is still brightly lit. Lu Yining and his companions gather in a simple wooden house to discuss the upcoming mission. The villagers gather around them, their eyes filled with anticipation and admiration.

"We must be extra careful in this operation," Lu Yining said in a deep voice, "The secret laboratory may be much more complicated than we imagined."

"Yes, it is said that the place is heavily guarded and equipped with all kinds of high-tech equipment," Xiaobin added, "I heard that even helicopters are used."

"Then we must not retreat!" A villager named Aqiang shouted, "Old Wang sacrificed his life for the village, and we must seek justice for him!"

"Well said, Brother Aqiang!" Sheng Nanting nodded, his eyes flashing with determination. "But first we must ensure everyone's safety and not act blindly."

Just as everyone was discussing enthusiastically, a voice suddenly came: "Sister Lu, I have a suggestion."

Everyone looked back and saw that it was Old Li from the village. He didn't talk much on weekdays, but every time he spoke, he always said something convincing.

"Old Li, do you have any good ideas?" Lu Yining asked.

Old Li stroked his graying beard and said slowly, "We can first send a few agile young men to investigate and see the specific defense situation of that laboratory. Then we can formulate a detailed plan."

This suggestion was unanimously agreed upon by everyone, and it was finally decided to let Xiaobin, Aqiang and another young man named Xiaowu go to investigate.

The next morning, the three of them set out with their simple equipment. Along the way, the mist in the mountains and forests thickened, and the sunlight filtering through the trees shone on them in patches, making the journey seem particularly peaceful.

Meanwhile, inside the mining area, the villagers were also nervously making final preparations. Lu Yining and Sheng Nanting stood in front of the wooden house, looking forward with determined eyes.

"Nanting, do you think we are doing the right thing?" Lu Yining asked softly.

"No matter what, this is what we should do," Sheng Nanting held her hand and gave her a comforting smile. "As long as we unite as one, there is no difficulty that cannot be overcome."
