Chapter 17: New Discoveries

In the gloomy laboratory, the air smelled of rotting corpses, Chu Tiancheng, Alina, and Murong Lianxue walked side by side on the damp passage, and from time to time rats jumped past the three of them and made squeaky sounds.

However, at this time, Chu Tiancheng's most annoying thing was not the squeak of the mouse, but the endless explanation of Ji Wuying on the other end of the communicator, that's right, the explanation made by a person who was not present was all speculation, so Ji Wuying said the most word from the time the three of them entered the laboratory, and the second most word was "maybe".

"That's enough!" Chu Tiancheng finally couldn't stand Ji Wuying's chatter, and complained to Alina next to him, "Alina, can't you find someone quieter to do logistics?"

Ji Wuying's retorting voice suddenly came from the communicator: "Uh-huh, strictly speaking, I shouldn't be considered logistics, but I have more work to command, so I think I should be the commander!"

"Commander, I think you're more like a mouthy and tongue-in-cheek!" Chu Tiancheng really thought of the other end of the communicator and beat Ji Wuying violently.

"Hey, big brother, are you good at civilized language? We're a team! The team should be united and friendly, okay?" Ji Wuying began to preach on the other end of the communicator.

"Little resentful woman, shut up! You're really too noisy! You should know that as long as I want, I can go back and beat you up and come back now, and it won't take much time! Okay, from now on, you are not allowed to speak again without my permission! Also, shut up your damn little bee for the old lady!" Alina couldn't stand Ji Wuying's noise, and directly gave the death order.

There was no sound on the communicator for a moment.

From the outside, this lab is not too big, but when you come in, you know that it is really big, no less than an underground mall. The three of them walked around for a long time, but they didn't find anything, this place was basically cleaned up, except for some worthless equipment and garbage, nothing else.

"It seems that we are late, and this clue is broken. Alina paused, her face not showing much disappointment at the loss of nothing, as if everything was expected by her.

Chu Tiancheng clasped his hands to his chest and bit his lip: "Alina, isn't your secret organization monitoring the entire Night City? Why is there such a large laboratory here, you don't know?"

Alina smiled bitterly, "I don't even know when someone deleted the Dream Raider's data from my database, do you think I would care about an underground lab in which corner?"

At this time, Murong Lianxue's mobile phone rang.

Xiaoying said that he had something to say. ”

Murong Lianxue said to Alina.

Say. ”

After Alina's approval, Ji Wuying's voice came from the communicator: "Haha, I'll just say ......"

"Tell the point, or I'll go over and kill you right now!" Alina coldly interrupted Ji Wuying.

"Uh...... In fact, there has been a related investigation between the dark groups about this laboratory, and a task force has also been set up, and this project is still ...... Guess who's in charge? Yes, Alina, you're in charge! I guess between kobolds and dream raiders, this 'Alina' shouldn't be you, right?"

"So it's not that the dark group didn't work, but that your 2.0 version did the work for you? Oh my God! You can't even supervise yourself, do you think I'm going to consider firing you as a guardian?" Chu Tiancheng said to Alina with a pretended seriousness.

Alina glanced at Chu Tiancheng and did not speak.

Murong Lianxue said: "Since this place has been cleaned up, there is no need for us to waste time here, it is better to start with the kobold!"

Alina agreed, and took the two of them with her.

"Wait!"

At this moment, Chu Tiancheng suddenly felt a familiar breath, and immediately closed his eyes and concentrated on capturing this breath. Sure enough, this breath was weak, but there seemed to be a familiar power in the breath, and he began to move along with this breath, and with each step, he could feel that the faint breath was stronger.

In this way, step by step, for some reason, Chu Tiancheng felt an unprecedented joy and excitement.

However......

"Bang!"

Chu Tiancheng slammed into the glass wall.

"Oops, it hurts!"

Chu Tiancheng covered his head and looked at Alina and Murong Lianxue, who were gloating, with resentment: "You two are doing it, don't you pull me when you see that I'm going to hit the wall?"

Murong Lianxue said with an innocent face: "I don't know! I thought you were evil, so I didn't dare to interrupt easily." ”

Chu Tiancheng looked at Alina.

Alina shrugged, "I just want to see how strong the person who said he was going to fire my guardian is, but at the moment, it doesn't seem to be good." ”

At this time, Murong Lianxue sent a text message again.

Xiaoying asked, can he laugh together?

"Absolutely. ”

The communicator suddenly heard Ji Wuying's pig-like laughter: "Hahahaha, do you know? I have long wanted to see Chu Tiancheng out of trouble, but unfortunately I am not at the scene, but I still feel very cool!"

Chu Tiancheng couldn't help patting his forehead and sighed: "What kind of mentality do you have?"

"Okay! just kidding, I think we'd better go back sooner, I can't stand the rancid smell here, I need to go back and take a hot shower." Alina suggested.

Murong Lianxue agreed: "Indeed, next time I come to this kind of place, I think it's better to let Xiaoying go out on duty, after all, my clothes are all white and easy to get dirty." ”

Ji Wuying's retorting voice suddenly came from the communicator: "Hey, Murong, what do you mean? I'm not afraid if you're afraid of being dirty? Although my clothes are all black, it's hard to wash them if they're dirty, okay? And it's hard to judge whether they're clean or not!"

The two were about to quarrel, but Alina interrupted, "You two will open a trial room to solve it, okay?"

Then she looked at Chu Tiancheng: "Do you still have any nostalgia for here? If not, we will go back." ”

Chu Tiancheng frowned slightly: "Alina, why do I think you are weird today?"

"What's wrong with me?" asked Alina.

"You didn't even ask me if I made any new discoveries? It stands to reason that you shouldn't ask me if I have made any new discoveries first, and then confirm whether I want to leave here or not?" Chu Tiancheng said seriously.

Alina sneered, "I don't think you'll make any new discoveries if you hit the glass wall, okay, we don't just have this clue, why waste it in such a disgusting place?"

Chu Tiancheng looked at Alina, and always felt that Alina was a little wrong at this time, but he couldn't say what was wrong, as Alina said, this laboratory confirmed that it was disgusting, the air was full of rancid smell, and Alina had experienced the rise and fall of too many organizations, so it was not unreasonable to not care about the affairs of the dark organization, so, what was wrong?

"I really found out!"

Chu Tiancheng said seriously to Alina.

"Tell me about it?"

Alina looked at Chu Tiancheng with interest.

Chu Tiancheng looked at Alina's eyes, and didn't find anything unusual, he was a little lost in his heart, he had made a new discovery, but he always felt that Alina seemed to have something to hide from him, so he wanted to see something from Alina's eyes, but no, could it be that Alina really just didn't care about the dark organization and didn't like to stay here?

Chu Tiancheng didn't have time to think about it, and said what he felt just now.

"Familiar breath?"

"Familiar power?"

Alina and Murong Lianxue glanced at each other, turned their heads to Chu Tiancheng and said in unison, "Are you sure you didn't break your brain?"
