Light Fortress-Chapter 1507 - 215: Great Being (Part 2)

Shen Li came to Qingzhong this time with the thought of seeing the "Netherworld King’s Spark".

Gu Shen has not yet refined the Netherworld King’s Spark, and for safety reasons, that spark is stored inside the mausoleum!

If Mr. Bai Shu knows everything...

Then he should also know that I’m Gu Shen’s [Angel Envoy].

Maybe he would consider my special identity and put me inside the mausoleum?

Unfortunately, Mr. Bai Shu did not let it happen at all.

"Of course you can."

Bai Xiaochi put away the files and said seriously, "If any of you have time, you can join the ’investigation team’ at any time...it’s a long-term task."

...

...

Dadu District.

In the city center bustling with skyscrapers and people, a woman dressed in red and white goddess attire walked along the street, attracting great attention.

It wasn’t because of her attire.

In the city center, there are quite a few young women wearing "strange" outfits, imitating characters from animations, or enthusiasts who like to wear ancient costumes; most people are no longer surprised by these phenomena...

What captivated everyone’s eyes was the beauty of this woman in goddess attire.

Chu Ling walked barefoot in the district.

With her long hair down, a black umbrella hanging like a sword at her waist, she exuded a cold and piercing chill despite being under the scorching sun, scaring off several bold suitors with her cool demeanor.

She calmly took in the bustling and noisy human world; it wasn’t her first time in Da Du— the last time she was with Gu Shen, back then she found Da Du beautiful and lively.

But now she didn’t feel the same.

She felt "lonely".

This seemed to be the first time she clearly recognized her "existence", walking along the streets, watching people come and go in pairs, countless eyes on her, yet she was alone.

Actually, she attracted a lot of attention during her previous visit to Da Du.

But at that time, her mind was entirely focused on Gu Shen beside her, completely unaware of the external gazes.

She didn’t walk in the city district for long, soon a black business car stopped by the roadside.

After that, she was invited to Huazhi and took the elevator all the way to the top floor.

"Miss Chu, why didn’t you inform us before coming?"

Lu Nanzhi turned her chair at the large office desk and said helplessly.

Chu Ling just smiled.

She came to Da Du without informing madam, but since this is Huazhi’s territory, even without notifying, she would be invited by Huazhi within ten minutes of appearing on the street.

"I came for the ’Divine Infant’."

She said calmly, "I want to see the child from legend who never grows up."

"I guessed as much, please come with me."

Lu Nanzhi stood up and led Chu Ling into the exclusive elevator of the building, pressing the button for the "negative tenth floor", the most mysterious part of the entire building, which requires the highest level of authority; previously only Zhao Xilai and Cui Zhongcheng could enter... In the past twenty years, Huazhi has conducted research on the "Gene Act" and "Awakening Act" here on the negative tenth floor.

But now.

Both acts have been denied successively in the East Continent.

Thus, the negative tenth floor became empty and deserted, and for a period, no one conducted secret work here anymore.

But with the Sangzhou Cave mission, the Ancient Literature Society rescued the "Neutral Individuals" cultivated for years on Sangzhou Cave Island. Lu Nanzhi and Zhuang Su, Qi Mo have made contact, and Huazhi decided to incorporate the Neutrals under their wing, and reinvest in their research. This vacant "negative tenth floor" would now be used to study the Divine Infant.

The elevator took the two of them deep to the bottom, upon opening, Chu Ling saw the most solid secret base beneath Dadu District.

Dark gold bronze doors opened one after another.

What came into view were numerous cleaned extravagant instruments; the experimental remnants from the Gene Act were still stored on the negative tenth floor without destruction, arrays of dozens of nutrient pods lined up on both sides of the base.

Neutral Individuals have already settled in.

Therefore, it wasn’t as quiet as imagined; this large base had quite a few figures hurrying past, but nobody had the time to spare them a glance.

"These are the ’Neutral Individuals’ rescued by Gu Shen from Sangzhou Cave."

Lu Nanzhi said, "Those who can enter the negative tenth floor are core members of the ’Neutral Individuals’ organization; in some sense, they could also be considered part of the Ancient Literature Society, though in the twenty years since disconnecting...they haven’t received recognition or permission from the Ancient Literature Society’s interior, yet the direction they pursued over these years aligns with ours."

Chu Ling nodded, indicating agreement.

"Madam."

A square palm-sized mini-screen flew over, suspended before the two, projecting an image of Qi Mo on the screen.

"Thank you for providing the location, the instruments and technology here are astonishing...we might need some time to familiarize ourselves."

This is why despite so many people coming and going, no one took a second look at Lu Nanzhi and Chu Ling. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

The core members of the Neutral Individuals underground in Sangzhou Cave are tech-obsessed enthusiasts; only after leaving Sangzhou Cave did they discover the technology outside had made rapid strides, rendering their research over the years incredibly naive, like frogs at the bottom of a well.

Especially upon reaching Huazhi Underground.

After Lu Nanzhi demonstrated Huazhi’s most advanced technologies, they were completely enchanted by these instruments, these experimental projects... Currently, these folks are in the midst of exploring a new "lover" during their infatuation phase.
