Revelation of the Way of Heaven

The door opened, and the light from the hallway shone in through the doorway, revealing the man outside.

Qin Xiaochuan and Guo Shiyi didn't hide. Since someone had come to them, they naturally wanted to find a way to catch him. Maybe they could even open the password door before Han Kexin and Mo Yu.

"Ah Yun?" The man looked surprised when he saw Guo Shiyi. "What are you doing here?"

"Hey, Zhao Liang is here too, what's he doing here?" The man was clearly not quite sure what was going on.

"You...you're actually here..." He suddenly glared angrily at Guo Shiyi and said, "You filthy bitch, you really are having an affair with him!"

"Holy crap, what's going on here?" Qin Xiaochuan thought, his mind filled with questions. Although the other party's words were limited, he could already guess that the snack shop owner's daughter, Xiao Zhao, and the man in front of him seemed to have a complicated relationship.

He was speechless, and sighed inwardly, "There really is no place in the world without conflict. Even replacing someone else can lead to being caught up in the war of love."

"I'm going to cripple you today." Just as a series of thoughts flashed through his mind, the man suddenly erupted, took a step in front of him, and raised his fist to strike him.

Qin Xiaochuan calmly watched the other person's movements. Just as the other person was about to hit Qin Xiaochuan, countless vines quickly crawled all over his body and tightly bound him.

"Ah Yun, how could you..." The man stared at Guo Shiyi in shock, and it took him a long time to react before he exclaimed in panic, "No, you're not Ah Yun!"

Just as he was about to shout, the vines wrapped around his neck tightened immediately, making it difficult for him to not only speak but also breathe.

"You'd better behave yourself, or you'll suffer the consequences," Qin Xiaochuan said coldly.

Perhaps because he had been holding it in for too long, the man's face had turned a liverish color, and his eyes were rolled back. Upon hearing what he said, he immediately nodded frantically.

Guo Shiyi loosened the vines a little to allow the man to breathe. He was quite obedient, standing there breathing hard, not daring to shout. Of course, shouting wouldn't have helped, because the vines were still wrapped around his neck, and he couldn't make a loud sound at all.

"Can you open the keypad door next to me?" Qin Xiaochuan asked him coldly.

The man hesitated, probably thinking of a way to deal with them. Qin Xiaochuan didn't give him time to think. He gestured to Guo Shiyi with his eyes, and the vines binding the man immediately tightened. He groaned in pain, his face turned liver-colored, and the veins on his body bulged.

Qin Xiaochuan said with a sneer, "Do you want to suffer some more?"

"Yes, I can," the man replied immediately, his voice hoarse from being pulled so tight.

"How can I open it?"

"All you need to do is enter your password and fingerprint," the man said immediately.

Qin Xiaochuan nodded to Guo Shiyi, then took out his phone and called Han Kexin. The call rang twice before he hung up.

This was their pre-arranged code. Before coming here, they had switched their phones to vibrate mode. As long as the phone vibrated twice, it meant they had found a way to open the door. Now, the two of them just needed to wait for Han Kexin and Mo Yu to return.

Before Han Kexin and Mo Yu returned, he asked the man a few more questions.

This man was just a low-level member of the base and knew only limited things, but one thing was certain: they were indeed conducting research on the Blood Witch Clan here. Qin Xiaochuan finally had a slightly clearer understanding of the situation here.

The first floor is a regular office area, mainly for organizing basic data;

The second floor was the observation room. The reason he saw so much spiritual energy on the second floor was because there were many experimental subjects locked up inside. These subjects included blood witches, animals, and even people (this was something no one expected; they never thought they would be so depraved).

The third floor houses the most important research lab, which is staffed by a small team of medical scientists led by Dr. Chang. In addition to their prior knowledge of cracking the secret of immortality, their research also includes developing various drugs with diverse functions. The only one the man knows of is a drug that can make people stronger.

In addition to the regular research rooms on the third floor, there is also an important secret research room, but only Dr. Chang can enter that room, so he doesn't know what's inside.

Outside that research room, there were several superhumans guarding it 24 hours a day. Qin Xiaochuan guessed that the five superhumans he had just seen must be the ones guarding the secret room. The fact that it was so heavily guarded meant that there must be a very important secret there.

He suddenly remembered that besides the five people with superpowers, there was also an ordinary person in the research lab. Could it be...?

So he asked the man again, "Is Dr. Chang in his lab right now?"

The man immediately shook his head and said, "I don't know about that. Dr. Chang's movements have always been very mysterious."

Just as he was about to ask the man for more information, a sudden, urgent alarm sounded outside, followed by the sound of many people moving around.

"It seems like Sister Kexin and the others have been discovered." Guo Shiyi looked at him worriedly.

Qin Xiaochuan used his Heavenly Eye to look downstairs and saw that there was indeed a battle taking place on the second floor. Because the Heavenly Eye's field of vision was limited, he could only see Mo Yu's spiritual power and did not know where Han Kexin was.

"Should we go and help?" Guo Shiyi asked him again.

He saw that although there were many people besieging Mo Yu downstairs, their spiritual power levels were all 4 or 5, so they could not endanger his safety for the time being. He then looked into the research room next door. After discovering the anomaly below, the five ability users in the research room remained inside and showed no sign of coming out.

"I think we should take advantage of the fact that they're attracting attention down there and sneak into the research lab to take a look," he told Guo Shiyi, sharing his idea.

"Just the two of us?" Guo Shiyi looked at him in surprise. "Didn't Sister Kexin just say that there are five superhumans in the research lab, and one of them is even at level 6 in spiritual power?"

"Didn't Han Kexin say that two of the five people with level 5 spiritual power have already exhausted their spiritual power? There's nothing to worry about. As long as we can control one person with level 4 spiritual power as soon as we go in, I'm confident I can deal with the other person with level 4 spiritual power."

"Are you sure you can handle someone with level 4 spiritual power?" Guo Shiyi was even more surprised. "I remember last time you only used Fireball and Silver Shield, both D-rank skills. D-rank skills can't possibly harm someone with level 4 spiritual power. On the contrary, you can't even withstand a B-rank skill they use."

"Don't worry, I've learned two more C-level skills these past few days," Qin Xiaochuan said with a smile. "Even if we can't beat him, we can definitely hold him off. Now is our best chance to get into the research lab, otherwise we'll definitely miss our chance once their reinforcements arrive."

After hearing his words, Guo Shiyi hesitated for a moment before saying, "If you can really hold off another person with level 4 spiritual power, I am confident that I can control the person with level 6 spiritual power."

"At this point, you're still thinking about controlling him? Just kill him already," Qin Xiaochuan said speechlessly.

"I'd like to too," Guo Shiyi said helplessly, "but the skills I've learned are all control-oriented, I don't have any particularly strong offensive skills."

"Alright then, if we can keep him under control, let's proceed according to this plan."

Guo Shiyi nodded and said, "If you really can't beat them later, don't force yourself. We can just back out. Although I can't control a level 6 and a level 4 at the same time, I can still hold them off."
