Having the genes of a demon king, I never intended to be a kept man.

Xia Xiyao asked in surprise, "Lingling, are you alright?"

Ye Ge looked at her, paused for a moment, and said, "The other party actually managed to make you expend so much energy; they must be quite formidable. What did you see?"

Bai Xueling's voice was weak and feeble: "I didn't see anything... I used illusion magic to control the innkeeper's mind, but I almost got dragged into the illusion magic he had set up... The person who signed the contract with him should have anticipated that someone might use illusion magic to interrogate him, so they left a very powerful trap in his mind..."

Bai Xueling finished speaking in a weak voice, feeling even weaker: "I...I'm a little tired..."

After speaking, her soft body leaned forward, and the catgirl naturally fell into Yege's arms.

Ye Ge gently stroked her hair and whispered, "Okay, you should get some sleep."

Bai Xueling nodded dazedly, then transformed back into her little cat form and slowly slipped into Ye Ge's clothes.

Jiang Xue then released Nangong Qiuyue and the other night watchmen.

Nangong Qiuyue immediately turned around and ordered, "Liu Kai, quickly take men to search the basement of the town's church!"

"Yes!"

"team leader!"

Just then, another watchman rushed over, anxiously saying, "All the townspeople have disappeared!"

Nangong Qiuyue exclaimed in surprise, "What?"

Night Watchman: "They must have escaped during the chaos."

"Oh!"

Nangong Qiuyue punched a nearby tree, cursing under her breath, "Damn it! They ran so fast! It seems everyone in this town is indeed corrupt!"

Jiang Xue shrugged: "I already said, they're all in cahoots."

Ye Ge remained calm: "It doesn't matter. Their levels aren't high, they won't get very far."

He slowly raised his hand, and an ethereal black mist emerged from behind him.

Thousands of crows emerged from the black mist with sharp cries, took flight, and hovered in the air, blotting out the sun and creating an astonishing spectacle!

Jiang Xiaoming and the other Night Watch warriors all looked astonished.

"Truly...truly amazing..."

Liu Kai stared in disbelief, his head held high: "As expected of Lord Ye Ge, even with his level suppressed to the Hundred Souls Realm, he can still summon so many spirit pet clones!"

Thousands of black crows circled in the sky for a while, like a black storm, before scattering in all directions to search for their targets.

Ye Ge thought to himself that it shouldn't be a problem for the spirit of calamity to capture all these townspeople.

But even if they were captured, these people probably wouldn't be of much value...

Even Lingling, who used the Blood Spirit Illusion Technique, only managed to extract limited information; it would be even more impossible for others.

Half an hour later.

The Night Watchmen found the underground chamber beneath the church and discovered the people imprisoned there.

The town's hundreds of residents were also captured by the avatar of the Calamity Spirit.

The night watchman interrogated several townspeople for a long time, then said helplessly, "Captain, these townspeople have been pretending to be stupid and won't say anything."

Nangong Qiuyue thought for a moment: "Let's tie them up and take them back to the station."

Night Watch warrior: "Yes!"

Ye Ge and the others wandered around in the underground chamber of the church.

Xia Xiyao said, "This place is huge. It looks like more than just a dungeon; it's like an underground laboratory."

“Hmm.” Gao Shenxue reached out and touched one of the instruments here: “These instruments have a peculiar shape. They are not instruments used by human civilization, but they are definitely devices used in laboratories.”

"This should be a computer?"

"Yes."

"A computer that looks like this is really peculiar..."

"Xue'er, can you crack the key to this computer?"

"it should be OK."

Gao Shenxue's deep blue technological light flashed as she connected to the computer via the system.

Then she raised her hands and began to operate the virtual keyboard in front of her.

As Takayuki operated the device, a metal box door on the adjacent wall was opened.

The box contained a large number of bottles and jars.

Ye Ge paused for a moment, then picked up a bottle from among them.

This is a thin bottle. The contents of the bottle are neither liquid nor solid, but rather some kind of transparent, luminous particles suspended in the air, which look as beautiful as fireflies in a dark environment.

Ye Ge scanned the ingredients with the system, and then her pupils contracted slightly.

"Xiao Ye, what are these?" Xia Xiyao asked, looking at Ye Ge's expression.

“It’s a genetic weapon, designed to target humans.” Ye Ge narrowed his eyes. “And it’s the same type of genetic weapon that the vampires used back then.”

Xia Xiyao and Nangong Qiuyue exclaimed in surprise, "Huh??"

Ye Ge remained silent and immediately began a brainstorming session.

Vampires... Nicholas... Wang En... Gene Company...

He had previously confiscated a batch of the vampires' genetic weapons.

This kind of weapon should theoretically only be possessed by vampires and him.

Vampires would absolutely never share their genetically engineered weapons with others...

Gao Shenxue stared at the computer screen in front of her.

As she deciphered, a large amount of code appeared before her.

'These ancient code words again...'

Gao Shenxue was in a trance.

She tried to decipher the text based on the patterns she had found in the previous code-breaking.

Soon, more and more lines of code appeared rapidly...

"Click"

Another hidden metal door was opened.

Inside this secret door were more than a hundred enormous green containers.

Each container was filled with liquid, and bubbles kept rising from the transparent liquid. Each container also contained many green and red data cables, which were connected to something that looked like a biological embryo.

“This is…” Nangong Qiuyue’s eyes widened.

"This is probably the company's real purpose in collecting human genes," Gao Shenxue said calmly. "The embryo inside should have been created using human genetic cells."

"Life forms...created?" Nangong Qiuyue frowned, walked to the container, placed her palm on it, and carefully examined the embryo inside: "Why would they do this?"

“I don’t know…” Gao Shenxue said, looking at the increasing amount of code text in front of her. Suddenly, the feelings of sadness, loneliness, desolation, fear, and pain she had felt before surged back into her heart…
