“Professor Xu will be here soon. Please wait a moment.” Hua Cheng smiled and poured herself a glass of water. Her subordinates surrounded the circular space, especially the entrance of the hallway. There were at least three people there.
It would have been better if she hadn’t gone downstairs with Hua Cheng, but now that she was here, it would be even harder to get out.
“Who’s Professor Xu?” Ji Shiting looked around and then looked away. “The person in charge of this technology?”
“That’s right. He’s been looking forward to you guys for a long time,” said Hua Cheng as she blinked at them.
Ye Shengge couldn’t figure out why she was involved.
“By the way, Yuan Junkun is in your hands, right?” Ji Shiting suddenly said. “Since I’m here, let him go.”
“Do you think it’s possible? This is a huge secret base. Since we’re here, there are only two outcomes.” Hua Cheng licked her lips. “Either we stay here forever or we die.”
Ji Shiting said, “What? Are you still going to experiment on him?”
“That kid isn’t a suitable test subject.”
It wasn’t Hua Cheng, but an old voice.
Ji Shiting and Ye Shengge looked to the source of the voice and saw an old man with gray hair who looked energetic. He looked to be at least sixty years old. He had a kind smile on his face, but his eyes were cold, which made his smile appear on the surface.
“Professor Xu?” Ji Shiting said calmly..
Professor Xu chuckled and said, “Mr. Ji, it looks like you’ve forgotten everything that happened three years ago.”
Ji Shiting pursed his lips and looked at him expressionlessly.
“Does that mean my first step is a success? I just don’t know what went wrong…” He sounded confused.
Ji Shiting said, “You just said that Yuan Junkun isn’t a suitable experimental body. Why didn’t you let him leave? That kid doesn’t know anything.”
“Will you cooperate with me if I ask him to leave, Mr. Ji?” Professor Xu smiled.
“No,” Ye Shengge said coldly. “Professor Xu, the first operation you performed on Shiting has failed, and he’s forgotten everything. What else do you want?”
“Oh, Ms. Ye.” Professor Xu suddenly smiled and looked at her as if he was looking at a piece of work that satisfied him.
Ye Shengge pursed her lips and her eyes widened.
Ji Shiting hugged her tighter and smiled. “What is your research about? What will happen to me if the operation succeeds?”
The smile on Professor Xu’s face became more and more pleasant. He and Hua Cheng looked at each other, and Hua Cheng said with a smile, “This is an interesting technology. It’s really interesting. Why don’t we sit down and talk?”
…
At this moment, in a restaurant less than a hundred meters away from Night Banquet.
Gu Yimo had been waiting for more than an hour, but he hadn’t heard from Ji Shiting yet.
Fortunately, Qiao Yanze finally arrived after a while.
Qiao Yanze sat down opposite him and said, “How is it?”
“The mask I made for him is quite realistic. I won’t be able to see any flaws unless I look carefully.” Gu Yimo was worried. “But it won’t last long. The mask will crease or crack in two hours at most. If he doesn’t come out, he’ll be in danger.”
