Chapter 552: The Truth

"Is the man dead?"

"No, but it's fast, the time he lasted is not short, and I'm afraid that someone else would have died a long time ago."

"Really? It's a pity, my kid is not so good, he is already dying in just three days. ”

At the moment when the wall opened, two masked black-clothed people, one tall and one short, walked out of it chatting.

The two of them never imagined that someone would eavesdrop on their heads, and they did not shy away from talking.

After exiting the door, the tallest of them pressed against the wall as if it were shut, slammed it shut, and walked towards the other end of the hallway with his companions.

"What's next?"

"I don't know, it depends on the plans of the Demon God, but our raw materials are about to run out, and if there are no new treasures, I'm afraid we will have to take a holiday in a few days."

"That's not possible, we're at a critical moment now, and we'll have to get some more fools over."

The two of them gradually drifted away as they spoke, and when their figures disappeared around the corner of the corridor, Xu Rui cautiously jumped off the ceiling.

He glanced in the direction where the two had left, and said in his heart, no wonder he couldn't find any mechanism, it turned out that this secret door was actually opened by man.

While thinking about it, Xu Rui buckled the gap in the wall and pulled it back hard, and the wall was really pulled open by him with a "boom" like a door.

Behind the secret door is still a long corridor, and the walls of the corridor are neatly inlaid with oil lamps every few meters, illuminating the whole corridor.

Xu Rui hurriedly glanced at it and found that the architectural style here was very similar to the overall style of the church, obviously carefully renovated, without the slightest obsolescence, and there were no reliefs or artworks similar to religious styles, simple and clean like modern buildings.

Both the walls and the floors are made of the finest stone, and perhaps the stock that the bandits bought from the out-of-town traders was used here.

Xu Rui thought for a moment, dodged through the secret door, then carefully closed the door, and slowly felt deep into the corridor.

After not walking a few steps, Xu Rui found the first door in the corridor, the door was locked, it was a common copper lock in this world, and it was a simple mechanism triggered by a built-in mechanism.

This obviously won't cause too much trouble to Xu Rui, I saw him take out a thin wire from his bun, bend it to a suitable size, reach into the keyhole and pry it gently, the copper lock suddenly made a crisp sound, and then pulled left and right, and the lock was easily opened.

Xu Rui took off the lock lightly, habitually looked left and right, and hung the copper lock back on the door, then pushed the door open and walked in, and finally did not forget to close the door.

However, the moment he turned around, Xu Rui saw the furnishings in the room clearly, and he was shocked.

This room is like the torture room of the Imperial Prison, which is full of all kinds of strange tools, dark and weird, even Xu Rui is quite surprised.

How can there be such a place in a church?

Xu Ruihu looked around suspiciously, and found that this place seemed to be different from the torture room, except for those strange tools that seemed to be hideous and had unknown purposes, the layout of this place was actually a little similar to his original base.

"Is this a laboratory?!"

Xu Rui was startled, and slowly walked towards the house, just after taking a few steps, his eyes fell on a huge iron cage in the depths of the room, and his eyelids jumped slightly.

The iron cage is made of pure steel, and the steel used is marked on it, and it is actually the high-grade goods of the Galaxy Group, which is about which capable businessman got it through special channels, and its strength is second to none in this world.

What surprised Xu Rui the most was that the iron cage with a height of two people and a width of more than four meters basically occupied half of the room, and there was actually a dying humanoid creature locked in it.

It was slightly larger than the average person, naked, with dark red skin, a very dense head hair, slender limbs, muscular, and sharp nails on its misshapen claws.

It lay silently in its cage and did not move, if Xu Rui could not hear its faint breathing and heartbeat, he would not even be sure whether it was alive or dead.

Xu Rui wanted to get closer to observe this guy, but he suddenly glanced at a thick booklet on the table next to him, with the four big words "Observation Log" written on the cover.

He was slightly stunned, and hurriedly took the booklet and opened it, his brows gradually furrowed.

On the first page of the opening chapter, it reads: "Observation subject Li Hongchang, observed on April 15, the sixth year of the new era, and recorded the phenomenon of drug resistance mutation. ”

"Li Hongchang ......"

Xu Rui silently read the name, feeling as if he had heard it somewhere.

Suddenly, a flash of lightning flashed through his mind, if he remembered correctly, Yan Sheng had mentioned a person when he talked about the New Territories City Superior Exercises.

This person seems to have an old relationship with the Ghost-Faced Demon God, and obtained a peerless technique from the Ghost-faced Demon God, which has been a blockbuster since then, and has also set the stage for the great battle in New Territories City.

And the first person to get the superior exercises is called Li Hongchang!

Thinking of this, Xu Rui hurriedly looked down, and after a while, he took a closer look at the observation log.

The more he looked at it, the more frightened he became, the more frightened he became, and by the time he finished reading it, a cold sweat had already appeared on his forehead.

It turned out that the reason why this martial artist named Li Hongchang obtained the exercises was not because he had an old relationship with the ghost-faced demon god at all, but because he participated in an experiment.

This "Observation Journal" records in detail the horror story of Li Hongchang's fall into the abyss step by step by receiving a special technique and a secret medicine.

It was a brutal experiment.

At the beginning, Li Hongchang was baptized by special exercises and secret medicines, and was reborn in a short period of time, advancing by leaps and bounds, and even crossed two major steps and became a first-class master.

But it didn't last long, only three months after becoming a first-class master, Li Hongchang's body had many lesions.

The symptoms recorded in the journal were very similar to the side effects of the genetic warriors, and only by continuing to practice the exercises and increasing the dosage of the secret medicine could those terrifying symptoms spread rapidly.

Since then, Li Hongchang has relied on exercises and secret medicines to relieve his body's discomfort, but this is a road of no return to quench his thirst, and in the following months, Li Hongchang began to mutate at an alarming rate.

His limbs and hair grew wildly, his skin grew scales, his nails were as sharp as a lion's tiger, his temperament became furious, and he gradually lost his mind until he seemed to be a different creature altogether.

It has no humanity, it has super destructive power, and it is like a brainless war machine.

No one would have thought that just over a year ago, the monster in front of him was still an ordinary human.

Why?

Why are there esoteric genetic tests here?

What are those superior exercises and secret medicines that have the effect of changing genes?

Also, if these things are treasures from the Gobi, then what exactly is the treasure? And what kind of person, or creature, stayed there?

All of a sudden, countless deductions appeared in Xu Rui's mind, and the results of each deduction made him tremble.

"Hey, the door is not locked, it's not good, someone broke in!"

At this moment, an exclamation suddenly came from outside the door.

Xu Rui came back to his senses, his face changed, and he hurriedly put the "Observation Log" back in place, jumped over, and hid it on the ceiling.

With a "squeak", the door was opened, and two men in black, who were also masked, broke in.

They had long swords in their hands, as if they were facing a great enemy.

Xu Rui stared at the two of them, and his qi was mobilized to the peak state, if the two found themselves, he would not hesitate to wipe out the two with the power of thunder.

However, at this moment, Xu Rui's back suddenly chilled, and he subconsciously turned his head, only to see a pair of eyes shining with ghostly light staring at him intently in the darkness.
