Reborn as a tiger, he was chosen by the nation as its guardian beast.

Chapter 148 Infiltration Plan

When Wang Hu returned to the hotel quietly.

The sky was already beginning to lighten, but the city was still shrouded in a chilly fog.

He leaped into the window from the thirtieth floor, his movements as nimble as a golden feather.

Inside the room, Cui Jiuyuan stood before the floor-to-ceiling window, slowly practicing Tai Chi. His movements were graceful and powerful, each move carrying a steady rhythm, as if resonating with the silence before dawn.

Hearing the faint sound, Cui Jiuyuan stopped his attack and turned to look at Wang Hu.

A smile appeared on his face, and his eyes showed understanding.

He knew that Wang Hu must have brought back some incredible news after being gone for so long last night.

"You're back?"

Cui Jiuyuan's voice carried a hint of gravitas. He walked to the table, poured himself a cup of hot tea, and then gestured for Wang Hu to make himself at home.

Wang Hu shook his fur, returning to his normal size. He then took out his phone from the storage conch shell hanging around his neck and started typing on it.

He recounted in detail the conversation he had overheard the previous night and everything he had seen in the underground laboratory.

From Sambu's reprimand of Dorje to the sudden appearance of the man in black robes, to Sambu's research on "experimental materials" and "divine genes" underground, and finally to Sambu's secret of another "self" deep in the secret passage, in that huge cultivation chamber.

Cui Jiuyuan's expression gradually froze as Wang Hu recounted the story.

The teacup in his hand emitted wisps of steam, but his eyes seemed frozen. When Wang Hu cast "God's Gene" and "Another Sangbu," Cui Jiuyuan's brows furrowed tightly, and a deep "川" (river) character could even be seen between his eyebrows.

He never imagined that there were so many twists and turns behind the Xiangxiong Kingdom's allegiance to the main brain. He originally thought that Sangbu and his people were simply misled by the main brain or forced to choose to join Zhunao.

But now it seems that Sambu's ambitions are far greater than he imagined, and he seems to be using the mainframe to achieve his own goals.

"That Sangbu, he's no ordinary person." Wang Hu thought for a moment, then typed this sentence on his phone, his words conveying an undeniable certainty.

Cui Jiuyuan put down his teacup, walked to the window, and looked at the sky gradually brightening outside. With his back to Wang Hu, he asked in a deep voice, "Big Cat, what do you think is the relationship between that Sangbu and the Mainframe?"

Wang Hu pondered for a moment. Involuntarily, the magnificent statue he had seen in the huge square when he first entered the other world came to mind.

That statue is said to be the statue of a two-hundred-year-old monster who ruled the entire otherworld before the appearance of the mastermind.

The mastermind was probably created by that person.

So, did that person really die?

Or is it that the other world is not as simple as they imagine, and that there are other extraordinary intelligent beings besides the main brain and the mutants?

Wang Hu recalled Sangbu's unique aura, his hidden ambition, and his fanaticism for the "God's Gene." He always felt that there was a greater secret hidden behind it all.

He finally typed a line on his phone: "He's most likely not from Earth. He's probably from another world, like Long Yi and Feng Yi. And judging from his attitude when communicating with the mainframe, he might not even be a mutant controlled by the mainframe. He has his own thoughts, his own goals, and might even be plotting against the mainframe."

When Cui Jiuyuan saw the message Wang Hu sent, he frowned and fell silent.

China has also been researching the mainframe during this period, but apart from the mainframe and the mutants, no other intelligent life has been discovered in the other world. If, as Wang Hu suspects, there are hidden forces in the other world, then things could get very complicated.

This means that their understanding of the other world may only be the tip of the iceberg.

After a long silence, Cui Jiuyuan spoke again, his voice tinged with seriousness: "If that's really the case, then we know far too little about this other world. This Sangbu, his secret, might just be the key to our understanding of this other world."

He turned around, looked at Wang Hu, and said with a determined look in his eyes, "To find out the truth of this matter, we probably have to go to another world through this spatial rift. It just so happens that Lord Long has also gone to another world, so we can investigate these two tasks together."

Wang Hu nodded in agreement.

He knew it was bound to happen sooner or later.

He always felt that the disappearance of Master Long was inextricably linked to this "God Gene" and the "experimental material" of the mastermind.

Wang Hu then typed, asking Cui Jiuyuan, "If we're going to another world, who should we send with us?"

Cui Jiuyuan had already planned this out.

"I have decided that I will end these negotiations as soon as possible."

Cui Jiuyuan said firmly, "After this is over, we will leave, but you and Lin Yue will stay and infiltrate the other world together."

Upon hearing this arrangement, Wang Hu's heart stirred.

Lin Yue? That seemingly naive and innocent girl?

He hadn't expected that Cui Jiuyuan would include her in the program.

However, since Cui Jiuyuan made this arrangement, he must have his reasons.

Cui Jiuyuan seemed to sense Wang Hu's confusion. He smiled and explained, "Although Xiaolin looks young, her abilities far exceed your imagination. Moreover, her 'Vermilion Bird' codename isn't something you can obtain casually."

"You should understand the value of this title."

He then had someone bring over a box and handed it to Wang Hu. The box was made of alloy, looked very heavy, and had no markings on it.

"The medicine here is the latest research result of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, called the Mutant Medicine."

Cui Jiuyuan pointed to the box and said in a serious tone, "After the injection, you and Lin Yue will become mutants, evading the detection of the mainframe and most mutants. The country has already conducted research and confirmed its effects. Then, the two of you can use this to infiltrate spatial rifts."

He reminded Wang Hu, "However, this stuff only works for one day after one injection. You must pay attention to the time limit."

Wang Hu nodded upon hearing this. He looked at the neatly arranged rows of medicines in the box, somewhat surprised. China's scientific research capabilities were indeed not to be underestimated.

With a wave of his hand, he directly stored the entire box into the spatial conch.

Although he didn't know about this potion, he already knew that to delve into another world, he would definitely need some special disguise methods.

It wasn't too unexpected that Cui Jiuyou would bring out something like this.

He just never expected that he would be teaming up with Lin Yue this time.

He thought to himself that when the time came, he could finally see what kind of tricks Lin Yue, this Vermilion Bird, had up her sleeve.
