After escaping the laboratory, Lin Yuan and Su Jiu'er took refuge in an abandoned basement.
This basement was, to put it mildly, a large petri dish for mold. The air was thick with dampness, decay, and various indescribable odors that nearly made Lin Yuan feel like he might ascend to the heavens on the spot. Yellow-green unknown liquids seeped down the walls, resembling the tears of a slime monster from a horror film, causing his sanity to plummet. Rats scurried about, their bodies as plump as kittens; anyone unaware might think they had stumbled into the underground kingdom of rodents.
Lin Yuan rubbed his arms, feeling goosebumps all over, and couldn't help but complain, “This place is worse than my doghouse! At least my doghouse has a broken computer with internet access where I can watch pretty girls dance. Here, aside from the dancing rats, what else is there?”
Su Jiu'er completely ignored his remarks and calmly pulled a flashlight from her backpack to illuminate their surroundings.
In the dim light, the basement appeared even more sinister, with various bizarre shadows flickering on the walls like a horde of demons having a wild party. Lin Yuan even felt that at any moment, a hairy zombie might leap out from a corner, dancing disco and inviting him to join in.
He shivered involuntarily, hugging his arms tightly. “I say, Jiu'er, can we find another place? I have this nagging feeling that it’s not safe here. What if something jumps out? I didn’t bring a peach wood sword! All I know how to do is type on a keyboard to ward off evil!”
Su Jiu'er shot him an exasperated glance that seemed to say, “You drama queen, can you just calm down?” Then she pulled out some confidential documents she had brought from the Experimental Base and began reading them carefully under the flashlight's beam.
Lin Yuan leaned closer to look at the densely packed text on the documents and felt his head spinning. “What are all these things? They’re more complicated than my program codes! It’s giving me a headache!”
Su Jiu'er explained, “This is the secret experimental plan of the Qi Gong Association, codenamed ‘Ling Domain Simulator.’”
Lin Yuan's interest piqued at once; his eyes lit up. “Ling Domain Simulator? That sounds impressive! Is it used for simulating cultivation? Can I experience Sword Flight and slay demons? Can I even build a harem inside it and marry rich beauties to reach the pinnacle of life?”
Su Jiu'er gave him a light smack on the head. “Wake up! Dreaming in broad daylight! This isn’t something good!”
She pointed at the contents of the document and continued, “This simulator can artificially create high-concentration Lingqi areas, also known as Lingyu. They want to use it to control the flow of Lingqi in cities, just like controlling tap water.”
Lin Yuan stroked his chin, pretending to ponder deeply for a moment. "Controlling the flow of Lingqi? What's the point? Are they trying to have everyone cultivate into immortals and then ascend together? Wouldn't that cause housing prices to plummet?"
Su Jiu'er looked exasperated; how could this guy's thought process always be so peculiar? "Lingqi can influence people's emotions and behaviors. By controlling Lingqi, they essentially control people's hearts. They want to incite social unrest and ultimately control the entire city, understand? It's like a Puppet Show; they're pulling the strings behind the scenes!"
Lin Yuan suddenly realized, slapping his thigh. "I see! These guys have quite the ambition! They want to be the puppet masters, controlling the world!"
He suddenly thought of something and asked, "So how does this simulator relate to ancient formations? Is it based on some lost Cultivation Manual?"
Su Jiu'er replied, "According to the documents, this simulator draws from some ancient Forbidden Formations. Those formations were originally meant to suppress evil spirits, but now they're being used for malevolent purposes! Their goal might not just be controlling the city; they might be trying to open a gateway to another world and summon some ancient evil god!"
Lin Yuan felt a chill run down his spine. "That's terrifying! These guys are insane! They're crazier than I am when I code late into the night and my brain shorts out!"
Su Jiu'er continued flipping through the documents when her expression suddenly changed, her eyes filled with shock and fear. "This is bad! There's mention of an experiment plan called 'Project Chimera.' They want to use the Ling Domain Simulator for Human Experimentation to create modified humans! Turning people into monsters!"
Lin Yuan gasped, feeling his hair stand on end. "Modified humans? That's too twisted! Are they trying to defy nature? Do they want to create a super soldier army to conquer the world? Or are they planning to turn people into grotesque monsters just to scare children?"
Su Jiu'er added, "Moreover, the project leader is Zhao Yunyi. She's the real mastermind! That seemingly gentle scientist is actually a deranged demon!"
Lin Yuan gritted his teeth. "Zhao Yunyi? That woman has a heart as cold as a snake's! How did I not see it before? I even thought she was a kind and gentle sister! Who would have guessed she was a big boss?"
Just then, Lin Yuan's phone suddenly rang, its jarring ringtone echoing in the basement, nearly causing him to throw it away in fright. The caller ID showed Zhou Haoran.
Lin Yuan quickly answered the phone. "Hello, Lao Zhou, how are you? Have those Qi Gong Association guys caught you?"
On the other end, Zhou Haoran's weak voice came through, intermittent and strained, as if he had suffered serious injuries. "Lin Yuan... help me... I've been captured by the Qi Gong Association... they want to turn me into a test subject..."
Lin Yuan's face changed dramatically, filled with anger and anxiety. "What? Lao Zhou, hold on! Tell me where you are, I’ll come to save you right away! You have to hang in there!"
He hung up the phone, his face pale, and turned to Su Jiu'er. "Lao Zhou has been captured. We need to hurry and rescue him! He’s my good brother; I can’t just stand by and watch him become a monster!"
Su Jiu'er nodded, her gaze resolute. "Alright, let's go! Even if it costs us our lives, we have to save Lao Zhou!"
The two immediately set off towards the place where Zhou Haoran was being held.
Little did they know that even greater dangers awaited them ahead...
Would Zhou Haoran be able to hold on until Lin Yuan and Su Jiu'er arrived? What was Zhao Yunyi's scheme?
