At night, the lights are on, the city lights are red and green, and the neon lights are shining.

In front of the Dream Research Institute, Ning Yan stood under a tree and quietly looked at the behemoth in the distance, unlike the lively scene around, there were few lights here, and the darkness gave this place a layer of mystery and unknown.

There are only a few windows in the whole building, the guard booth in front of the gate is considered one, the security guards inside have changed, and the buildings on both sides of the door are hung with monitors, which are well guarded.

Ning Yan observed for a while, turned around and came to the dead end of the monitoring, climbed over several obstacles, and finally stopped at the corner not far from the main entrance of the building.

"You can't get through the main entrance. At the front desk of the entrance hall, several men and women were chatting and laughing, surrounded by a bald middle-aged man in formal clothes, who seemed to be the manager of the building, and two black-clad guards stood at the door.

Glancing at the almost flat wall above his head, Ning Yan sighed slightly: "I didn't expect that the first time I used the method of cultivating immortals, it was actually in this situation." ”

Retreating to the back of the building where the light could not shine, Ling Yuan was running in his body, he took advantage of his strength to jump lightly, stepped on the window edge of the second floor, and then repeated the action, and after a while, he came to the tenth floor.

Pushing open a window that was not closed, Ning Yan finally stepped into the building.

Cautiously following the corridors, he would stop and observe any room where the lights were on, and would not continue until there were no anomalies.

I went up seven floors in a row, but I didn't find the information I was looking for.

He came over today, the main purpose was not to find Li Ziman, but to find out the internal situation of the Dream Brewing Institute, immortal cultivators rarely appeared in the outside world, let alone join a certain institution like this.

He didn't care what the Dream Institute was doing, what he cared about was whether there were other immortal cultivators here, and he could find out some potential threats as much as possible, so that he could carry out follow-up work.

In case Li Ziman still has helpers, he needs to re-plan.

Unfortunately, until the roof of the building was explored, nothing unusual was found, and some of the office areas with people were only busy with some employees who had not yet left work.

"What is the biological research institute like this?" Standing in the hidden place of the safe passage, Ning Yan frowned, along the way, he didn't see anything related to living things except living people.

This is a normal office building.

Pedaling ......

There was a sound of footsteps, mixed with a few whispers, Ning Yan was slightly startled, slowly retreated into the darkness, and held his breath against the wall.

"I told you not to do it here, now I can't get up and down!" was a female voice, which seemed to be full of resentment.

Then a male voice sounded.

"It's not that you don't know that I have a yellow-faced woman guarding my house, and I have to go back after work, how dare I stay outside, don't worry, when I go to see the director, let's continue when I come back." ”

"Hurry up, then. ”

Two figures, a man and a woman, walked up from the corridor.

The man is middle-aged, wearing a black suit, his face is sallow, and he looks like he has been hollowed out in a wine-colored place all the year round, but the woman is very young, wearing a short skirt and a small vest, looking like she is in her twenties, quite beautiful, and the two are tidying up their clothes while walking.

The middle-aged man was holding a mobile phone in his hand, as if he had received something urgent, and the woman followed behind and kept nagging, her face full of resentment.

In the dimly lit corridor, only a few warning signs lit up with a ghostly light, Ning Yan used Lingyuan to his eyes, and he could see it very clearly in the dark, and he couldn't help but laugh when he saw the hurried posture of the two.

A pair of wild mandarin ducks.

However, the subsequent conversation between the two caught his attention.

"I said, Director Liang, what are you doing so late? It's nine o'clock. ”

"I heard that there is something wrong with the research laboratory, and several doctors are not there, so I am in charge of the technical side and naturally want to take a look, don't worry, this kind of thing will happen occasionally in the past, and it can be done in half an hour." ”

The two of them pushed open the door of the corridor and walked out, and after a while, Ning Yan walked out of the darkness, thinking with a dewed eye: "Research room, did I ignore something just now?"

Without a clue, he watched through the crack in the door as a man and a woman in the hallway separated before they had gone far, and followed without hesitation.

The middle-aged man walked in a hurry, not as relaxed as he had just spoken, obviously worried that he would be punished by the director if he was late, Ning Yan followed behind, dodging some surveillance areas on the way, and finally saw the other party walk into the elevator.

"Sixth floor underground?" Seeing the numbers displayed on the elevator button from a distance, Ning Yan suddenly felt that he dared to wander around for a long time, and he didn't go to the right place at all.

The elevator must not be used, this mission takes place in the downtown area, the less the handle is left, the better, from the seclusion of the Daomen, the peace of the world can be seen, the immortal cultivators are far from the point of ruling the world, and the law still has a deterrent.

Returning to the corridor, with the blessing of Lingyuan, his speed is not slow, and he came to the bottom floor in a few minutes, fortunately, the corridor leading to the underground is not far away, and he can reach it by walking a few steps.

When Ning Yan came to the sixth basement floor, he saw an elevator open not far away, and the middle-aged man who was stealing game just stepped out of the elevator and left in a hurry.

The middle-aged man with a heart and mind naturally did not notice that there was a malicious person behind him, turning left and right in the intricate corridor, and finally disappeared into an aisle.

After a few minutes, Ning Yan's figure appeared, and when he looked at the only exit in front of him, he couldn't help but wipe his cold sweat, this ghost place is really not ordinary complicated, if it weren't for the immortal cultivators who could capture the breath of others, I am afraid they would be lost.

Fortunately, there was no surveillance on this underground floor, which was convenient for him to follow, and when he walked into the end of the passage, his vision suddenly opened up, and there was an open space in front of him, the size of half a football field.

Some lights from machines or electrons illuminate the surroundings, and at the edge of the area there are closed secret rooms, forming a large circle, and in the center of that area, there is a one-story high pale blue crystal, crystal clear, but irregular in shape.

A familiar wave emanated from above, permeating the entire subterranean space.

At this moment, what he saw was not an underground space, but standing in the body of a certain monster, seeing the pulse beating like a pulse, with vitality, that strange feeling, if it were not for immortal cultivators, it would be difficult to detect.

Inside and outside the door, there are two completely different feelings!

"Spirit Crystal!?" When he saw the crystal, Ning Yan was slightly startled, not long ago the Daomen exchange meeting, which was used by Longhu Mountain to display the point ranking, was this kind of crystal.

Later, after inquiring from Master Chu Tianshi, he learned that this thing is called a spirit crystal, which is produced in the underground with rich spiritual energy, which is very special, and can not only be used for cultivation, but also can be used for many things.

For example, the spirit crystal of Longhu Mountain, if you know how to cast spells, you can make it have the same effect as a display.

It was hard to imagine that there was such a big place underground, and what surprised him even more was to see the spirit crystal here, which should have belonged to the unique items of immortal cultivators.

"Before, the spirit crystal was used by Master Chu Tianshi as a score list, what is the use of the spirit crystal here?"

If Li Ziman has this ability, the danger factor of this mission will undoubtedly increase.

Feeling the inexplicable strangeness of this place, he felt a faint uneasiness in his heart, subconsciously clenched the copper hairpin in his arms, hesitated for a while before stepping in, and probed along the edge corridor, always vigilant.

"Director, this time it's not a big problem, I've solved it all, it should be that the boys in the technical department forgot to inspect, and I will definitely teach them a good lesson when I go back!"

A room less than thirty meters away from Ning Yan suddenly opened, and two figures walked out, one was the middle-aged man he had followed earlier, and the other was the bald man he had seen in the main entrance hall before.

"You can't say that, you know the rules, Dr. Li and they all value the things in it, and they can't make any mistakes, I carried it down for you a few times, do you still want to fool around this time?"

Hearing this, the middle-aged man from the technical department hesitated, and nodded hurriedly: "I know, I'll send a backup gift when I go back, thank you Director Liang for taking care of me before." ”

"Well, there is no need for a big gift, my goddaughter took a fancy to a villa in Nanshan a few days ago, but unfortunately there are many things during this time, and I have not had time to go through the procedures. The bald man swept his eyes.

The middle-aged man in the technical department twitched his face and said stubbornly: "I understand." ”

While the two were talking, Ning Yan was hiding not far away, these two people were just ordinary people, and it was not troublesome to solve, but today's purpose was to find out the situation, and they didn't want to expose it in advance, so it would be bad to startle the snake.

Just as he was thinking about how to get out, he saw a cart being pushed out of the next room.

Pushing the cart were two men in white coats, obviously both of whom were staff members, but their eyes were hollow and dull, their faces were expressionless, and they lacked a trace of vitality.

"Death row prisoner?" Ning Yan, who secretly saw this scene, was slightly stunned, and the monster strange talk that Xu Sisi had watched before, some of the demon clans who were killed in order to cooperate with the drill were the same as these staff members.

"No, these people have been spelled. After observing for a while, he found that the abnormality could make people have this kind of symptom, which was undoubtedly from the hands of immortal cultivators.

In this state, almost waiting for the corpse, it is obvious that the person who runs all this does not want people to know too many things, maybe it is the secret of this institute.

When the staff passed by, the middle-aged man from the technical department just turned around to leave, and accidentally hit the cart, and the white cloth fell off, revealing the body of a man who was stripped naked and had blue and purple skin.

"I don't have long eyes!" The middle-aged man in the technical department was blackmailed, and he was already on fire, and he hit the corpse at this moment and immediately scolded, but the staff just put the corpse away, covered it with a white cloth, and pushed the car away unmoved.

"Oh, Xiao Zhang, what kind of fire are you spreading with these people, people are stupid when you stay in the research room all day, you don't know anything except studying these corpses, a little accident, forget about it. Director Liang said with a smile.

Zhang Ji snorted twice, glared at the staff who were far away, and seemed to be a little angry.

All this that happened not far away was seen by Ning Yan in his eyes, and his face was slightly pale, but it was not because of the two middle-aged men, but because of the corpses that had been pushed away by the staff.

If it was just a corpse, it wouldn't be like this, but from that cold and stiff corpse, he actually noticed a trace of Lingyuan fluctuations!

People die like lights go out, dust returns to dust, soil returns to earth, immortal cultivators are not like this, in his understanding, after the death of immortal cultivators, the spiritual element of lifelong cultivation will also dissipate, and this process will take a while.

Until the spiritual element in the body is completely dissipated, it is considered death in the true sense, which is often said to be the way of death.

In other words, the corpse on the cart just now was also an immortal cultivator before his death, and from the conversation between Director Liang and Xiao Zhang, it can be seen that this research room is studying this kind of ...... on weekdays Creature.

"Are they studying immortal cultivators?" Ning Yan was shocked and confused.

Immortal cultivators may be high in life, but they are also a corpse after death, what is there to study?

Just then, a phone rang.

Ning Yan was startled when he heard this voice at first, this bell was the same as his, and it was muted when he came, and he didn't even dare to turn on the vibration.

I didn't breathe a sigh of relief until I saw Director Liang take out his mobile phone.

"Dr. Li, what do you command?" Seeing the caller, Director Liang immediately became respectful.

But after a while, his face changed: "Someone broke into the research room? impossible, I have been staying inside, and I didn't see outsiders coming in...... Okay, I see, I'll definitely look into it thoroughly!"

"What's the matter, Director Liang?" Seeing Director Liang's gloomy face, Zhang Ji suddenly became nervous.

"Dr. Lee said someone broke into the lab! You can't leave just yet. Director Liang's face was ugly, and he dialed another phone number as he spoke: "What do you security brigades do to eat!" If someone breaks in, you don't know, immediately block all the exits for me, investigate and monitor, and see who enters and exits the building within an hour, and send people to search the underground, don't let go of every floor!"

When he heard the first sentence, Ning Yan knew that something was wrong, he thought that what he had done was already very secretive, leaving no traces, and he didn't know where there was any possibility of exposure.

But this was clearly not the time to dwell on this, so he quickly retreated into the darkness and headed towards the exit, but just as he was still some distance from the exit, the door of the passage slammed shut.

"Damn!" he cursed, and just as he wanted to retreat, he heard an electronic sound, and a door next to him slowly opened, and a staff member in white with a sluggish expression walked out of it.

Director Liang heard the movement and hurriedly ran over from a distance with Zhang Ji with a vigilant expression.

When I saw that it was the staff who walked inside and walked out, I was relieved.

Just at this time, there was a call from outside the door of the passage, Director Liang knew that it was someone from the security team, and the door was closed under his control, and only the insiders could open it.

Zhang Ji took a step behind, and happened to see a half-human, half-demon werewolf corpse in a liquid jar soaked with chemical drugs in the research room, which seemed to be slowly turning, and he was suddenly startled, not daring to stop, and hurriedly chased after Director Liang.

Bite.

After the electronic door was closed, the prompt sounded, and the room was quiet, which was the research area of the staff, the space was limited, and the purchase was simple, except for some work equipment, only an iron bed was placed in the middle, and a liquid tank was placed in the corner.

After a few more minutes, suddenly there was a sound of water, accompanied by a clang, the lid of the liquid tank was pushed open, flipped to the side, and Ning Yan crawled out of the jar wet.

"Phew!" exhaled vigorously, feeling slimy on his body, he hurriedly ran the spirit yuan, steamed the layer of chemical liquid dry, and sighed lightly: "If I have the cultivation of the second watershed of qi refining now, and release the spirit yuan to protect each other, I won't be so embarrassed." ”
