Even hybrid monsters have their day

Xu Ruwen walked over and started searching on the shelf. Sure enough, he found a control panel, but it required a password...

They were feeling down when they suddenly heard a noise at the door. Just as they hid, the door opened, and a white figure walked in and carefully closed it behind them.

The man glanced back at the lab door again, still uneasy, before cautiously walking inside. When he came into Xu Ruwen's view, Xu Ruwen's eyes widened in surprise.

Peng Yuxian, what's he doing here? Wasn't it said he couldn't get in...?

Xu Ruwen glanced at Huangfu Aohan, and there was clearly some doubt in his eyes as well.

Peng Yuxian seemed to be looking for something, and eventually, he also came to the control panel that Xu Ruwen had found earlier. He took out the decoder he had brought with him, connected one end to the control panel, and after a short while, he heard a very faint "ding". Then, the wall that had been bothering them for half a day opened up in response.

The wall opened from the middle to both sides, and the other side was even darker than night. As soon as the wall opened, Xu Ruwen felt a strong demonic aura rush towards him. How could there be such a strong demonic aura here? He was so startled that he moved slightly and made a small sound.

"Who?" Peng Yuxian had obviously heard the voice too, and hurriedly turned around to confirm, but there was nothing behind him. He lowered his eyes in confusion, and soon went straight to where Xu Ruwen was hiding and stopped.

"Come out, I've seen you. Is that you?" He turned down and met Xu Ruwen's gaze. "What are you doing here? Where's Miaowan?"

He knew that Xu Ruwen and Huangfu Aohan would not have left Geng Miaowan's side unless there was a special reason, but now they were staying together.

"I also want to ask, how did you end up here? And what are you doing here?"

Facing Xu Ruwen's questioning gaze, Yuan Yuxian smiled with some relief. "You scared me to death! I thought we'd been discovered." As he spoke, Xu Ruwen emerged from his hiding place, followed by Huangfu Aohan. "You've come at the right time. I received a message from my men. They found Qiu Pi's laboratory and discovered that Qiu Pi is trying to develop a terrifying virus, so they're looking for evidence to expose his evil deeds to the world."

Just then, a low growl, like that of a trapped beast, came from the dark space inside the wall. Xu Ruwen and Huangfu Aohan recognized it immediately. It really was Luan Hao's voice. Without saying anything more, they went inside together.

It was pitch black inside. Peng Yuxian took out his phone and turned on the flashlight, instantly illuminating the entire space. Luan Hao, who was imprisoned in a strange device, appeared before them. Next to the device containing Luan Hao was a ball of black gas about the size of a fist, churning and emitting black smoke.

The magic they felt emanated from this place.

"Luan Hao..." Xu Ruwen didn't have time to pay attention to what was going on with the demonic energy, and went to Luan Hao first. "Why were you locked up by them?"

When they broke up last time, he said he'd found something interesting. How come when they met again, he was a prisoner? Huangfu Aohan, fearing Peng Yuxian would become suspicious, hadn't spoken since Peng Yuxian's appearance. At this moment, he was also looking at Luan Hao with a questioning gaze; Luan Hao appeared unharmed, but seemed quite weak.

Because their attention was completely drawn to Luan Hao, no one noticed the fervor and surprise that had flickered in Peng Yuxian's eyes after he saw the black gas, tinged with a strange adoration. It vanished instantly, as if that fleeting moment had been nothing more than an illusion.

Luan Hao was also quite surprised to see Xu Ruwen and Huangfu Aohan. He even unconsciously glanced behind them and asked, "Why are you here? Where is Wan'er?"

"Wan'er was taken away by Qiu Pi, she..."

"What!" Xu Ruwen was interrupted by Luan Hao before he could finish speaking. His voice suddenly rose, devoid of any emotion, "You, Qiu Pi, not only did you plot against me, but you also dared to set your sights on Wan'er!"

"She's alright, don't worry." After he finished speaking, Xu Ruwen finally had a chance to finish his sentence. "But what about you? What exactly happened? Aren't you just a spirit? How did you get captured by them?"

Upon hearing him mention this, a hint of unease flashed across Luan Hao's face, followed by a cold snort, "It's nothing but trivial tricks."

Xu Ruwen thought to himself, "These petty tricks have you completely trapped. If you had used your ultimate move, you wouldn't be alive now." However, he naturally dared not say this aloud. His opponent was an old demon who had only lived for tens of thousands of years. Even if he was just a spiritual being, he could easily beat him up.

Seeing that he seemed reluctant to talk about how he was captured, Xu Ruwen didn't press the matter. After all, it concerned the face of a demon, and he didn't want to provoke him. So he changed the subject, "So how are you feeling now? What can we do to get you out of here?"

Luan Hao didn't know what method Qiu Pi had used to imprison him inside, he only knew that the thing imprisoning him would trap his mental power and constantly drain his magic power.

"This is a special device modified by Qiu Pi. It contains electrical ions that can trap a person's mind," Peng Yuxian explained to them, glancing at the small room-like device that held Luan Hao inside.

He had overheard Xu Ruwen say that Luan Hao, who was imprisoned inside the device, was a spiritual entity. He didn't know how spiritual entities could exist in this world. Originally, this device was meant to control people's minds, but he never expected that Qiu Pi would use it for this purpose.

Hearing his voice, Xu Ruwen and the others remembered that he was still standing there. Thinking that he was from this space and should know something about it, Xu Ruwen quickly asked, "Do you have any way to rescue him?"

Peng Yuxian stared at Luan Hao, his expression calm and unwavering; no one knew what he was thinking. After a long while, he finally spoke, "This is the latest scientific research achievement. I didn't expect Qiu Pi to have already put it into use. I'm not sure if I can pull it off, but I'll try my best."

After saying that, he went to the control panel in front of the device and began to explore it. (To be continued.)
