After Leng Ran logged off, he received a new message from Qi Shan.

Qi Shan: "Mo Li! I've brought you a message!"

Leng Ran: "Hmm? There's been progress?"

Qi Shan: "Yes, we've finished unpacking. Most of what we transported this time were materials from exotic beasts, but there was one special item."

Qishan: "A live young of the Gale Eagle."

Leng Ran was surprised. The Illuminati's live animal materials were all adult animals; cubs had not yet evolved any abilities and had no research value. Even in the heinous human experiments, the blood extracted was from adult animals.

Leng Ran: "Why a cub?"

Qi Shan: "I don't understand either. Logically speaking, cubs have no research value... and it's not on the Academy of Sciences' materials list. It's more like it was deliberately put there."

Leng Ran suddenly remembered what He Yuanyang had said: that the Gale Eagle had been deliberately brought across the defense line, and that Qi Shan had been assigned by his mentor to transport materials to the Academy of Sciences controlled by the Bright Society. Leng Ran had a sudden idea.

The red spider lily wants Qi Shan's life. Did Qi Shan discover something and the red spider lily wants to silence him?

After a moment of calm reflection, he decided to warn Qi Shan: "Someone wants your life."

Qi Shan remained silent for a long time, seemingly quite frightened.

Leng Ran: "Be careful of the people around you. If you encounter any dangerous situations in the future, contact me immediately."

Since the other party is the one that the Other Shore Flower wants to kill, Leng Ran will naturally choose to protect them, and perhaps he can get some important information about the Other Shore Flower from Qi Shan.

Qi Shan: "Okay..."

Contrary to Leng Ran's expectations, Qi Shan, who had turned off his personal computer, was not panicked. On the contrary, his eyes held a hint of excitement.

"The prophecies are all true... Mo Li, you are destined to be my guardian angel, and I, we... will all one day in the future, fight alongside you in all directions."

------------

While waiting to meet the other shore flower, Leng Ran told Zhao Lesong about the zombie Baker and received some shocking news.

There have been more than one case of a bloodskin disease patient who retains self-awareness, and most of them come from the Chaotic Zone, which is not under the jurisdiction of the Empire or the Federation.

The federal government had been secretly investigating the matter, but it didn't expect Leng Ran and He Yuanyang to bring it to the forefront, which is why they adopted a cold approach.

Zhao Lesong has been sending members of the Lingyun Army to investigate the chaotic area for some time now. They have found a special medicine called "Holy Water" that can enhance a person's various qualities in a short period of time, and even awaken their spiritual power.

Leng Ran immediately thought of Xue Lang, who was forcibly fed holy water by the Illuminati and subsequently became a patient with blood scaly disease who was in a state of confusion.

Is this yet another new experiment by the Illuminati?

With a jumble of thoughts, I coldly awaited Saturday.

--------------

Saturday night.

To avoid arousing suspicion, Leng Ran and He Yuanyang went out to play all day after reporting their whereabouts, and only calmly walked into the meeting place with Bi'an Hua at nine o'clock in the evening.

Fifth Street, Ninety-Nine Supermarket.

The shopping robot greeted us warmly: "Hello, what would you like to buy?"

With a cold, expressionless face: "A pack of compressed biscuits."

"Okay, please follow me." The shopping guide robot led Leng Ran to the shelf area and, in a corner unseen by others, opened a hidden portal behind the shelves.

He walked coldly into the portal, followed by a seductive female voice.

"You've arrived, Judge!"

He gave a cold "hmm" in response, and then subtly surveyed the space. The location was unknown, but it looked like a separate meeting room.

He coldly glanced at the beautiful woman casually sitting on the sofa, wearing a fiery red dress and drinking red wine: "Higanbana, where is this?"

"My private laboratory." The other shore flower smiled alluringly. "I have to thank you for sending a lot of exotic beasts over the past few years, which has been very helpful."

She sat up straight and looked Leng Ran up and down with amusement: "You're younger than I thought, Judge."

“I was just following orders.” Leng Ran’s eyes were sharp. “Compared to that, I have many questions for you, Lycoris radiata.”

The red spider lily chuckled, "Oh? Tell me, I'm very patient with handsome young men."

Leng Ran didn't stand on ceremony and sat down on the sofa directly opposite the other shore flower, his gaze filled with oppressive force.

"Was the Gale Eagle incident your doing? Intercepting the military's mech signals, you've got some nerve."

Biyanhua swirled her wine glass: "I brought Gale Eagle in, but the mecha signal wasn't intercepted by me. It should be—the Free Alliance."

This time it was Leng Ran's turn to be surprised. There was actually a third-party force on Storm Star besides the military and the Illuminati?

"The Freedom Alliance, how much do you know about it?" Leng Ran stared at Bi An Hua.

"Ha, just two groups of madmen. The left is trying to overthrow the two major political systems of the Federal Empire, while the right worships the so-called god of prophecy and acts strangely and unpredictably." The eyes of the other shore flower were full of contempt.

"Intercepting the mech's signal, causing mass casualties, and further damaging the reputation of the Ninth Military District... If you hadn't acted today, the leftists' plan would have succeeded."

"If I didn't make a move, then your plan has succeeded, hasn't it, Lycoris radiata?"

"You don't need the cubs at all, so why did you let the Gale Eagles in?" Leng Ran's face was indifferent, without the slightest emotion. "Or, to put it another way, why do you want Qi Shan's life?"

The expression on the other side of the flower stiffened almost imperceptibly for a second: "I don't need to report to you if I want to kill someone, Judge."

Her micro-expressions did not escape Leng Ran's eyes, which indirectly indicated that Qi Shan did indeed know something.

He gave a cold snort: "Whatever you do, don't interfere with my actions."

"Don't worry, I've been instructed by my superiors to fully cooperate with you, you can trust me," the spider lily said lazily.

Leng Ran: "Then, the second question. Is the discovery of conscious patients with hemangioma a recent finding?"

The fox-like flower on the other side slightly opened its eyes: "What, you've encountered it?"

With a cold, stern face, he said, "I'll ask, you answer."

Red Spider Lily: "Alright, alright, I'll tell you."

"Do you know about the birth of mutated beasts? They are ordinary animals that are infected with a certain virus and undergo irreversible mutations, evolving over millions of years into what they are now."

"We discovered that the blood of the mutated beasts has fused well with these viruses. With just a little special processing, we can obtain a potion that can enhance human abilities, namely 'holy water'."

Leng Ran interrupted: "The side effect is becoming a hemangioma patient?"

A hint of madness appeared on the other shore flower's face: "If you want to use power, you must pay a price. Those chosen by the gods will briefly gain supreme power belonging to the gods' servants, while those who are not favored are destined to fall into mindless beasts."

He asked coldly and indifferently, "How long is 'brief'?"

The red spider lily smiled charmingly: "It could be as short as an hour, or as long as it takes. Of course, as of now, it's been five years."

Leng Ran felt a slight unease; it seemed that the holy water had been circulating in the market for five years.

Leng Ran pressed on, "What's the difference between 'holy water' and the divinely granted plan?"

“Ah, it seems you really don’t know, Judge.” The other shore flower leaned back on the sofa. “‘God’s Gift’ uses the bloodline gene power of primitive alien beasts, while ‘Holy Water’ uses inferior products from mutated alien beasts.”

“Very well, one last question.” He narrowed his eyes dangerously, “Your identity on Storm Star.”
