Chapter 371 [Underground Research Institute] [Thread of Destiny]

"Ahem..."

Looking at An Bing's eyes, Xia En coughed twice and explained.

"It's just a small experiment."

The attempt just now made Xia En sure--

There is no doubt that these [West Wind Frost Wolves] do have the blood of the ancient dragon flowing in their bodies.

That's why they fled because of the ancient dragon breath he released.

However.

Before the ancient dragon disappeared from the Seven Seas World, they were the masters of this world, with footprints all over the world.

It's not too surprising to encounter traces left by the ancient dragon in this sparsely populated [Northern Land].

Xia En and the others didn't take this matter too seriously, just as an unexpected episode.

Their more important goal now is to find the research institute hidden underground.

After walking for a while.

The ice field in front of them is still desolate and monotonous.

No living people can be seen, and no vitality can be seen.

The cold wind seems to never stop.

The surrounding scenery has not changed at all.

As for finding the location of the research institute, it is even more distant.

Even Xia En, who was always calm, could not help but get a little impatient in this situation.

"This won't work."

"When it really comes to the last resort, we can only use that method."

The last method Xia En thought of was very simple and crude, which was to make a big noise directly above the ice field.

This attracted the attention of the [Black Flame Walker] stationed on the ice field.

Since they couldn't find the underground research institute, they simply let the people in the underground research institute come to them.

Of course, the disadvantages of this approach are also obvious.

That is, Xia En and his team can no longer sneak into the research institute secretly, and can only negotiate with the other party face to face.

What will happen at that time is unpredictable.

Especially...

There are [Ice and Snow People] imprisoned in the research institute.

The attitude of [Black Flame Walker] towards An Bing is also unknown.

After thinking for a while, Xia En told An Bing about his plan and said.

"If this is the only way, I will communicate with the Black Flame Walker."

"Miss An Bing, you hide in the dark, follow us to the underground research institute, and act in secret."

After listening, An Bing did not refuse, and nodded solemnly.

"I understand."

However, just when Shane was about to implement the plan.

He suddenly felt a mysterious connection.

Deep in his mind, it seemed that a voice was calling him.

"Captain Shane... Captain Shane, can you hear me?"

Shane was a little surprised.

"This voice is..."

He was not unfamiliar with this voice.

Because this was Jane's voice!

However, this way of communication directly from the depths of the soul surprised Shane greatly.

"Jane, is that you?"

"Great, Captain Shane, I finally got in touch with you."

Jane's voice continued to ring in Shane's heart.

Except for a little distortion, the quality of the entire call was very high, even clearer than the communicator Moritz gave them.

Jane continued.

"There seems to be a strong signal interference source in this area, and normal communicators cannot be used."

"I can only contact you in this way."

Shayne picked up the communicator and took a look.

It was found that just as Jane said, the current communicator could not connect to any frequency band at all.

However, what made Shane more curious was how Jane conveyed her thoughts?

Jane also expected Shane to be surprised by this, and quickly explained

"This is a unique secret technique I personally developed, called [Mind Echo]."

"It allows me to communicate across distances with a target that is closely connected to my [Thread of Destiny]. "

"I originally thought that the [Thread of Destiny] between Captain Shane and me was not enough to perform this secret technique."

[Mind Echo]?

[Thread of Destiny]?

Listening to these unfamiliar terms, Shane's expression was a little strange.

It has to be said.

Among his many crew members, only Jane's ability is the most difficult for him to figure out, and she always brings him some new surprises.

To this day, Shane doesn't know how many hidden means Jane has.

But think about how old Jane is...

It seems natural that she has mastered so many strange abilities.

Soon, Shane noticed the [Thread of Destiny] that Jane mentioned.

Before, Jane mentioned that Shane and many people's [Thread of Destiny] were closely intertwined.

And now, Jane has become one of these people.

Think about it carefully.

Maybe it's because Shane used the panel to bind Jian as a formal crew member on the Black Swan not long ago.

Since then, their fates have been closely linked.

This is how they can communicate through [Mind Echo].

After restraining the distracting thoughts in his mind, Shane asked.

"Ms. Jane, where are you now?"

"Are there other companions with you?"

Jane replied: "Not long ago, I met up with Karles."

"We seem to be in an underground building now."

"Inside the building, there are people who are suspected to be [Black Flame Walkers] patrolling around."

"However, they seem to be highly wary of outsiders."

"To avoid being exposed, we did not negotiate with them, but temporarily hid in the ventilation duct."

Xia En was surprised: "You are actually already inside the underground research institute?"

Obviously, when entering this memory scene, the positions where people appear are actually random.

Jane and Carles were teleported directly to the underground research institute.

I don’t know if this is good luck or bad luck.

"One more thing..."

Jian You hesitated for a moment and continued.

"I saw a very obvious [Truth Society] style in this underground research institute."

"Whether it is the form of the building or the internal structure, it seems to have been designed and manufactured by people from the [Truth Society]."

"I even suspect that... there may be some kind of special living experiment being conducted within the institute."

Hearing this, Xia En's expression immediately became serious.

As the former "Mrs. Serenity" with the eighth truth number, Jane naturally has a deep understanding of the "Truth Society".

Since she said that this institute has the style of the [Truth Society], it is basically the same.

As for in vivo experiments.

Xia En was not too surprised when he learned that An Bing's tribe was captured and taken to the underground research institute.

He already had similar conjectures.

Jane didn't know that Xia En had already learned the basic information about the underground research institute from An Bing, as well as the fact that King Xin had been in contact with the [Omniscient Sage].

Jane's tone was a little hesitant because she was concerned about the relationship between Xia En and Xin Wang.

And after knowing the style of the underground research institute [Truth Society].

A clearer guess emerged in Xia En's mind——

During the era of the first great flood, King Xin had an in-depth cooperation with the [Omniscient Sage] of the [Truth Society].

The purpose is naturally to prevent the disaster of annihilation from coming.

And this underground research institute, and even the experiments on the [People of Ice and Snow], are all part of this plan.

Coupled with Xinwang's strong interest in [Instant Time].

Not hard to guess.

What he wants to obtain is probably the [Law of Ice] that the [People of Ice and Snow] can freeze in time and space!

The moment I figured this out.

Xia En's secret-peeping eyes immediately gave feedback.

[The solution density of "The Mystery of the Great Yan Kingdom's Destruction" +8%! 】

[Comprehensive quality: 32 → 34! 】

The familiar and warm secret power of gift came to Xia En from somewhere.

Indescribably comfortable and comfortable.

The few hidden wounds left in the previous battle with Hanno were healed.

The increase in solution density shows that Xia En's conjecture is correct.

He has touched upon a corner of the truth!

Regarding this information, Xia En did not hide it from An Bing, Jian and others.

He simply explained their experience in the first memory scene directly to Jane, and also told his guess about the institute.

After listening.

Jane was shocked: "What? Captain Shane, have you eliminated a node?"

"What a high efficiency..."

While they were still struggling to explore the research institute, Xia En had already eliminated a key node and even defeated a legendary undead.

Even Jane, who had known Xia En for a long time, couldn't help but feel a little outrageous at this time.

But that's why. Jane also gained a little more confidence in completely destroying [Great Flame].

‘With Captain Shane here, we might really be able to do this and return to the real world safely. ‘

Xia En's speculation about the cooperation between King Xin and the [Truth Society] made Jane fall into deep thought.

"If King Xin really met the [Omniscient Sage] in the past..."

"Then everything here will make sense."

"At that time, the [Truth Society] might not have been called the [Truth Society], and it might not have gone to the extreme pursuit of truth as it does now."

"In Wang Xin's view, the other party is just a special kind of researcher, and there is nothing wrong with him cooperating with them."

"I just don't know... what is the purpose of [Omniscient Sage] doing this?"

Xia En asked: "Ms. Jian, do you know anything else about the [Omniscient Sage]?"

There was a little helplessness in Jane's voice.

"Honestly, very little is known."

"I should have said that the [Omniscient Sage] is the most mysterious existence in the [Truth Society]."

"Don't say it's me, even the two top three scholars in this era's [Truth Number] have never seen him."

"The founding of the [Truth Society] seems to be just a trivial matter for the [Omniscient Sage]."

"In the following years, he has never interfered with the development direction of the [Truth Society], nor has he used the power of the president to do anything."

"Because he has not shown up for so long, there was once a second-ranked truth scholar who tried to replace his truth number."

"As a result, the day after the scholar announced the incident, he died mysteriously in his room."

When talking about this past event, Jane's tone was filled with lingering fear.

"Even all the documents, materials, notes, and research results he left behind... have become gibberish that cannot be observed by outsiders."

"It's equivalent to erasing it from both academic and physiological perspectives."

"Such a punishment is dozens of times more terrifying to ordinary scholars than simple death."

"After two or three similar incidents, no truth scholar dares to seek the number one ranking anymore."

"This can be proved. Although the [Omniscient Sage] is extremely mysterious and barely shows up, he is definitely still alive."

"And he has certain control over the [Truth Society]."

"Have you survived from the time of the great flood to the present..."

Shane muttered to himself.

Such a long lifespan can only be attributed to the Immortal Species, or a non-human being like King Xin.

Thousands of years ago, the strength of this [Omniscient Sage] was already extraordinary and was recognized by King Xin.

And after such a long period of accumulation, where will he reach?

Xia En felt a heavy pressure in his heart inexplicably, so much so that the slight satisfaction he felt in defeating Hanno disappeared in an instant.

However, compared to the mysterious [Omniscient Sage].

What is more important now is to find the underground research institute and destroy the [Great Flame] node in it.

So, Shane asked.

"Is there any way we can lock your location?"

Jane replied: "Maybe it can be done with the help of the induction of [Thread of Destiny]."

"Captain Shane, relax, I'll teach you what to do."

As he spoke, an invisible secret power was inspired from Xia En's heart, causing subtle changes in the world in Xia En's eyes.

Many strange, seemingly non-existent threads appeared in his field of vision.

This is somewhat similar to the points and lines seen by [Peeping Eyes of Secrets], but it is also somewhat different.

One of the thicker threads was currently connected to Xia En, leading to a direction not far away.

Xia En was surprised: "Is this the [Thread of Destiny]?"

Jane's voice came intermittently.

"The loss of long-distance transmission of secret power is too great. I can't open this kind of vision for you all the time."

Shane thought for a moment and said.

"Ms. Jane, you can remove your secret power, and I can see the trajectory of the [Line of Destiny] myself."

"ah?"

Jane was stunned for a moment, but she didn't express any doubt about it. She just silently withdrew the projected secret power.

immediately.

Xia En pushed his [Peeping Eyes of Secrets], and [Threads of Destiny] naturally appeared in his field of vision.

In fact, Xia En could see these [threads of fate] before.

But at that time, he didn't know the meaning of these threads.

They are mixed in with other lines and difficult to distinguish.

But with Jane's help, Shane locked the "layer" where the [Thread of Destiny] is located

Distinguish them from other lines and points of light.

And just as Jane said, there are several particularly thick "threads of fate" lingering around Xia En.

Apparently, that was his crew.

Some of them also have a faint pink color, which seems to be related to marriage.

The most conspicuous one leads to a relatively distant place, which makes Xia En think of Joey's figure inexplicably.

In addition, there seems to be Sha Jingjing, Laila, Carles, etc...

The corner of Xia En's mouth twitched slightly.

Jane would give such an evaluation at that time, and it was indeed not without reason.

Shaking his head and shaking those weird thoughts out of his mind, Shane walked towards the end of the [Line of Destiny] belonging to Carles and Jane.
