Chapter 568

Mu En himself still deeply understands the pain of rejection that the little boy is experiencing at the moment. He knows that for this child who may not even have seen the world well, death is the best choice.

After thinking for a moment, Mu En took out the statue of the goddess from his arms, and the holy light spread, eliminating the pain on the boy.

"So warm... so comfortable..."

In the light of the goddess, the little boy smiled again.

Then, the cold blade pierced his chest and ended his life in an instant.

"Although I don't believe in the goddess, I still hope that the goddess can bless you."

Mu En imitated the actions of Liya that he had seen before, prayed silently, and watched the boy smile and close his eyes.

After the prayer, Mu En stood up.

"That goddess statue..."

Cecilia stared at Mu En with sharp eyes.

"Now is not the time to talk about this."

Mu En quickly took back the goddess statue and changed the subject.

"Heh."

At this time, Cecilia did not pursue further, but narrowed her eyes, as if to remember something, and then her cold eyes fell to her side.

"The appearance of a little boy means that there may be more than one little boy here."

"Yeah."

Mu En nodded:

"From the facilities, this is a research institute."

"Heh, research institute."

Cecilia's palm covered the layer of glass beside her. It was a thick dark glass that reached the ground and was completely opaque.

But she seemed to see something through this opaque glass.

"Freeze."

Crack.

The ice layer covered the glass and then shattered instantly.

The flying glass fragments were all wrapped in the ice layer and flew to both sides.

Then, a wide space appeared in the vision of the two.

Drip.

In the dim room, there was no light, only the sound of some kind of instrument running.

The strong and pungent smell that made people sick came to her face. Cecilia even had to use magic to stir the air flow to dispel the smell, otherwise it would be difficult to breathe.

Mu En's expression was solemn.

He raised his hand, and the star-like light flew into the room, then brightened, and gradually... let the entire huge space reveal its true appearance.

One by one, the culture dishes with precision instruments were like ant eggs magnified countless times, and the intricate lines were piled up in the dark corners like a group of snakes, and the luster of magic flow was still flashing on them from time to time.

Those culture dishes have been broken, broken by humans, and the green liquid inside is flowing everywhere, and the pungent smell comes from this.

And those beings in the culture dishes, some are deformed embryos, have died directly in them, some have grown strange limbs, and are weakly pulled in the broken gaps, and more are on the ground, leaving traces of crawling, as if chasing the light they have never seen, but they can't reach it after all, and they die, even their hands are facing the direction that they don't know whether it is the exit until they die.

Occasionally, there are a few, like the little boy just now, more mature individuals, at the moment of seeing fresh flesh and blood, all their rationality is quickly swallowed up, roaring and rushing towards the two people.

Mu En once again used the goddess statue to prop up the holy light, letting those poor people be freed one by one.

"Really... beast."

Even though he had seen many more terrible and cruel scenes than now, Mu En still had difficulty controlling his emotions and punched the wall beside him.

The wall sank, and his blood-stained arm trembled slightly.

Although he had expected it, he still underestimated the bottom line of those bastards.

There are hundreds of culture dishes here alone. So, here, at the bottom of this dark research institute, how many innocent people died here in pain and despair?

Cecilia took the lead and walked in.

She carefully observed the instruments, picked up the vessel to hold a little green liquid, sniffed it, and carefully sealed it. She leaned down again and carefully observed the current situation of the dead people, and occasionally turned them over with her hands without any disgust.

Her eyes were cold and expressionless.

It seemed that she was not affected by this miserable and terrifying scene at all.

But Mu En lowered his head and saw that where Cecilia had walked, every time she stepped, the footprints she left were actually condensed with a layer of frost.

With her ability to control power, which even Mu En couldn't compare to, there shouldn't be such a possibility of leaking power unconsciously.

This shows that she is also angry.

Very angry.

107. Purpose

"I found another document."

After a careful search, Cecilia picked up another damaged paper from the corner. Half of it had traces of burning. It should be something that the researchers here were too panicked when handling.

"About what?"

"About... the specific role of this research institute."

Cecilia carefully read the font that could still be read on the document. Although it could be ignored, it meant that it was definitely not important information about the core, but it still made her eyes more cold.

"Medicine, they are studying a medicine."

"Medicine?"

As if recognizing some keywords, Mu En turned his head and looked.

"Yes, a drug that can stimulate a person's potential to a great extent, making them extremely powerful. Even ordinary people can be comparable to well-trained soldiers in a short period of time."

Stimulate potential.

Become stronger.

Mu En's eyes flickered, is it true?

"It's really powerful. It sounds like if the quantity of medicine is enough, it won't be a problem to raise an invincible army in a short time."

"Do you know this medicine?"

Celecia's eyes moved away from the difficult-to-read documents and fell on Mu En. Mu En's tone gave her a feeling that she was very familiar with this medicine.

"Of course I know, because I only saw the power of this medicine two days ago."

Mu En told Celcia about her fight with the Rat King's former subordinate, Wood, two days ago. Of course, he emphasized the effect of the medicine. As a personal combatant, Mu En had a powerful effect on the medicine. I feel it more deeply than anyone else.

"So it turns out that the power of a drug that can turn people into monsters will be greatly improved. No wonder... so many people are needed for human experiments."

As the force on the already incomplete document increased, more radial wrinkles appeared in Celecia's hand. On the back of her white hand, throbbing veins could also be vaguely seen.

In the corner of the room, in the corner of the room, Mu En had placed the corpses of the experimental subjects neatly together and covered them with white cloth, but they still looked horrifying.

"However, hiding in a place like Belland's Shadow, even if it's hidden, where did so many experimenters needed for human experiments come from..."

Celecia held her smooth chin and tapped her elbow with her other hand, thinking quickly.

Suddenly, her movements stopped.

It was like a line that had been puzzled for a long time, and finally found the clue hidden in the darkness. Celecia was stunned for a moment, and then her pretty face suddenly became gloomy.

"...That's right, I understand."

"Understand what?"

"The past disappearances in Xiacheng District, and... the question you just asked, about why those people in the council are so anxious to take control of Xiacheng District again!"

"..."

Mu En was restraining the corpse for a moment, staring into Celcia's eyes, quietly waiting for her next speculation.

"During the Silent Moon incident, I discovered that there were a large number of missing persons cases in the lower city." Celicia said slowly.

"I know this."

Mu En nodded.

After he became the so-called "Dark Emperor", the reason why he set the rule that no human trafficking was allowed in Xiacheng District was largely because he knew that human trafficking was rampant here in the past.

Many families have been broken up because of this. For Mu En, who has memories of her previous life, it is impossible to condone this behavior emotionally or rationally.

"At that time, I thought that most of the missing people had been resold to those evil believers and became the catalyst for the Silent Moon incident. However, I sorted out and reviewed those cases not long ago and found that there are still a considerable number of people. The missing persons cases cannot be matched with those already known.”

"Not long ago?"

Mu En raised her eyebrows and suddenly discovered Hua Dian.

Could it be after my night attack?

Although you ignored me verbally, you still sorted out all the incidents in Xiacheng District related to me after I laid them out?

However, Mu En now also knew that now was not the time to tease the arrogant and beautiful girl, so before her cold gaze struck her, she quickly said:

"You continue."

"The cases cannot be matched, and the whereabouts of a large number of trafficked people are unknown. Do you think... where will they go since they are not in the hands of those evil believers?"

"Where to go?"

Mu En sneered.

Where else to go?

This question requires no thought or answer at all.

Because they are now standing in the answer.

"Yes, if there are no accidents, those missing cases are the source of these human experiment victims, then those people in the council will be so anxious to regain control of Xiacheng District, and they will even expose the reason for this drug in advance. It’s very clear.”

Celcia said word for word:

"Their experiments are not over yet. Not only the medicine, they also have a certain purpose that has not been achieved, so they need more human experiments for them to complete their goals. To do this, they must regain control of Xiacheng District."

In front of Celcia, there is a special petri dish.

It is larger than other petri dishes, and the instruments connected to it look more sophisticated.

The most important thing is that almost all the petri dishes were artificially smashed, causing the experimental subjects inside to die.

But this petri dish is the only one that is intact. There is nothing inside. Neither the green liquid nor the things that should be in it are there. Only at the bottom are some small and sharp pipes arranged randomly. Leave it alone.

This shows that unlike the others, the things in this petri dish were taken away.

Even though they would rather abandon most of the experimental products and let some results be completely lost than flee in a hurry, those people still took away the things inside, which in itself shows the importance of this place.

Mu En also discovered this special petri dish, his eyes flickering and his thoughts mixed.

"Those people have been greedy at the foundation of the empire for a long time, and the wealth they control is extremely astonishing. It is impossible for them to work hard for some ways to make money. Therefore, their purpose can only be people! People as test subjects!"

"Whether it is to obtain the trafficked population of the Lower City or to smuggle people from outside Belrand, the channels of the Lower City are necessary! They can't bypass it...they can only try to regain control!"

Cecilia slowly clenched her slender five fingers.

The already fragile documents finally couldn't bear it anymore and turned into dust-like ice chips, blending into the green solution on the ground.

"..."

"Woo-wa--"

The cry of the baby suddenly broke the silence after Cecilia's words.

An experimenter who was thought to be dead cried and made a sad and painful sound.

Moon lowered his head and took out the goddess statue again to eliminate his pain and then let him go.

This action has been done many times and now it has become a little familiar.

"I won't let them succeed."

The blood splashed on his face, still hot. After the baby's last cry, Muon slowly said:
