The western part of country W, in the heart of a desert.

The hot air here seems to be unaffected by any seasons and weather, and the extremely dry desert brings a scorching feeling. Suddenly, a stiff jeep sped by, kicking up clouds of dust.

The jeep was parked next to a small wooden hut, a supply depot in the desert, small and simple, but with all the supplies in it, providing a strong guarantee for the lives and actions of those who came to the desert.

Lu Yuanjun jumped out of the jeep, followed by Shan Xiaoxiao and Zhu Lishang.

"I said, it's just a place to meet, what latitude and longitude do you report?" Lu Yuanjun complained while looking around.

Zhu Lishang smiled, took out two bottles of water from the car, and handed them to Lu Yuanjun and Shan Xiaoxiao.

"Because it has to be kept secret." Zhu Lishang opened the door of the wooden hut, "Follow me." ”

Lu Yuanjun approached the wooden shack with Shan Xiaoxiao, and found that it was the size of a commissary, and the owner in it was an old man.

"Sit." Zhu Lishang beckoned, and the three of them sat at a small table by the window.

"What the hell is going on, can I say it now?" Lu Yuanjun looked around, "This doesn't look like a base, could it be something else?" ”

Zhu Lishang smiled, suddenly pulled out a seat belt from under the stool, and helped him. Lu Yuanjun and Shan Xiaoxiao looked at Zhu Lishang in surprise, and at the same time touched the bottom of their stools, and sure enough, they all had seat belts.

"Tie it up." After Zhu Lishang finished speaking, after both of them fastened their seat belts, Zhu Lishang moved the ashtray on the table, and then, a square area under their feet suddenly descended and turned into an elevator, which was very fast and fell down.

Shan Xiaoxiao screamed in fright, but before she could scream a few times, the descent stopped, and she looked up to find that it was no longer the same shop as before, but a white metal wall, which also emitted a soft and bright light. The surrounding decoration uses simple lines, which is very futuristic and technological.

Zhu Lishang unbuckled the seat belt on the stool, stood up, put his hands behind his back, and looked at Lu Yuanjun and Shan Xiaoxiao with a little pride.

"Welcome to Shalan."

.....

"What's blue?" Lu Yuanjun asked strangely.

"Shalan."

"Salad?" Lu Yuanjun scratched his head, "What salad?" ”

"Lan, not pulling ....."

"Blue?" Lu Yuanjun looked confused, "What kind of blue is this?" ”

"You know what?" Lu Yuanjun turned his head and asked Shan Xiaoxiao, "Sha Lan?" ”

Shan Xiaoxiao shook his head helplessly, Zhu Lishang was also a little embarrassed, he coughed lightly, "It doesn't matter, in short, this is the name of our organization." This base is called Shalan. ”

"Country W should not allow any organizations to be established without permission, right?" Lu Yuanjun was a little puzzled, "Even if your base is very hidden, but your actions, as well as such an existence, are very blatant, and will you not be subject to any sanctions?" ”

Zhu Lishang heard Lu Yuanjun's question and smiled, "How can this world be as simple as you think." Then let me ask you, won't you soul sealers in the underworld be discovered? ”

Lu Yuanjun didn't speak, Zhu Lishang waved his hand and continued, "It's actually the same, for most people, we can hide our identities through certain technical means, in addition, our high-level has also reached some kind of agreement with the high-level of the world community, and we can act within this framework." According to the records, during the Qin Dynasty, Xu Fu went to the island area of the ancient R country, and brought a large number of people like you, you say, didn't Qin Shi Huang know about the existence of your underworld? ”

"Of course, the existence of an organization like ours is not all good....." Zhu Lishang paused and said a little gloomy, "All this time, we have also been investigating and tracking down another organization, but at the moment there is no ..... Of course, it has nothing to do with you, I talk too much, haha! ”

"Come with me." Zhu Lishang beckoned, stepped forward, Lu Yuanjun nodded as if he didn't understand, got up and unbuckled his seat belt, and followed with Shan Xiaoxiao. When they exited the descending square elevator, the elevator automatically went up again.

Lu Yuanjun and Shan Xiaoxiao followed Zhu Lishang around, and the entire corridor was a white decoration with scientific and technological beauty, but after walking for a long time, it couldn't help but make people a little dizzy, and Zhu Lishang was in a different state, it seemed that in his own territory, his emotions and aura were full of confidence and ease.

However, under this breath, you can still feel the uneasiness and anxiety that Zhu Lishang has always suppressed.

The three of them walked for a while, but they couldn't touch anyone along the way, and the whole base was as quiet as if there was no one. They occasionally passed by a few white metal doors, but the doors were all closed, although Zhu Lishang was also a friend, but in this strange and unknown environment, Lu Yuanjun did not let down his guard.

Walking to a white platform, Zhu Lishang aimed his eyes at the LCD screen on the wall, and after the identity verification was passed, the platform slowly descended, this time, it was a little slower than just now, but it was also much more stable.

"You must have a lot of questions when you come here, and I will tell you slowly." Zhu Lishang didn't know when an extra tablet computer appeared in his hand, and while he lowered his head and stroked, he raised his head from time to time and said to Lu Yuanjun, "Huh? By the way, what about the two of them? A sleepy man and a cheongsam woman. ”

When Lu Yuanjun heard Zhu Lishang mention the braids and Diegu, he lowered his head, a gloomy color appeared on his face, and a wave of sadness surged into his heart.

"They're all dead." Lu Yuanjun suddenly raised his head, and tears appeared in his eyes, "They were all killed in battle." ”

Zhu Lishang was stunned for a moment, and he didn't answer the words anymore, the atmosphere cooled down again, and the three of them were silent, only the lifting platform was always buzzing and roaring.

"We also lost a comrade-in-arms." Zhu Lishang suddenly broke the silence, "Shangkong Sakurako is missing. ”

"Huh?" Lu Yuanjun raised his head and looked at Zhu Lishang with some astonishment.

"It's complicated." Zhu Lishang pushed his glasses, and the lifting platform also stopped at the lowest floor, and he walked out alone, Lu Yuanjun and Shan Xiaoxiao followed him, and once again entered a long corridor that was the same as the one above.

Different from the previous floor, other people suddenly appeared on this floor, Lu Yuanjun saw some researchers walking briskly with their heads bowed, they were holding tablet instruments, wearing white research coats, and they looked hurried, walking quickly past Lu Yuanjun and his party, as if they didn't notice them. There was also a man and a woman, wearing a black light armor equipment, carrying a special backpack and walking out, Lu Yuanjun glanced at it and found that the man was handsome and handsome, and at first glance he looked as delicate and beautiful as a girl. Lu Yuanjun couldn't help but sigh secretly, the people here are really extraordinary.....

"It all started many years ago." Zhu Lishang said as he walked, "Shalan has many projects, one of which is to study some unnatural events in this world, which is more inclined to the existence of research institutes. During one operation, our team found a young Sakura and a stone statue with strange energy fluctuations in a shrine in a village in country R. For research and protection, we brought back Sakurako and the stone statue, and found the same energy in the stone statue as you do. ”

"It's a strange energy, it seems like the whole earth is there, but it's in smaller amounts. We've been researching it as a source of energy that can be used, so we've launched the 'Soul Siphon Vase' project to collect this energy and experiment on the stone statue. ”

"Is it spiritual power?" Lu Yuanjun frowned slightly, and his steps became faster and faster, "I didn't expect that there are these things in the Far East." ”

"But just a few days ago, I don't know why, this kind of energy on the ground, the spiritual power you said, suddenly increased dramatically, and it increased geometrically, if the previous energy was like a few shallow puddles, then now it is a flood!" Zhu Lishang suddenly stopped in front of a metal white door, he pushed open the door, and looked at Lu Yuanjun with some expectation, "Lu Yuanjun, I need your help." Sakurako is missing, and so is the stone statue. ”

Lu Yuanjun was unmoved, "What does it have to do with me?" ”

Zhu Lishang walked into the room, where there was an empty shelf, and the stone statue was placed in front of it.

"We've been researching so far, but we still haven't achieved anything. This kind of energy is special and terrifying, and the stone statue also showed all kinds of abnormalities because of the large amount of absorbing this sudden energy. Zhu Lishang turned on a giant computer, entered a string of passwords, and then took out a thin stone fragment from another device and put it in Lu Yuanjun's hand, "I don't want to cause a bigger disaster, so I found you, you can manipulate this energy, there must be a way to solve it!" ”

"It's spiritual power." Lu Yuanjun emphasized that he took the stone fragment, but his body was like a burst of electricity in an instant, he shivered, and an evil and powerful feeling hit his mind from the stone fragment. Suddenly, Lu Yuanjun felt extremely disgusted and confused, and he immediately threw the stone fragments on the ground.

"Are you alright?" Shan Xiaoxiao stepped forward and asked worriedly.

Lu Yuanjun breathed small and short, and he looked at the stones on the ground with palpitations, "Something is wrong with this thing, deal with it quickly." ”

"But..... The main body of it is gone....."

"I can help you find it, but if you find it, you can deal with it yourself." Lu Yuanjun sighed helplessly, he looked at the stone fragments on the ground again, and the sense of panic in his heart was still very strong.

"Time is urgent." Zhu Lishang took out two pistols from another device and equipped them on himself.

"Let's go now."
