Douluo Continent: The Evil-Eyed Dragon God, Many Women, Many Blessings

Chapter 413 Thank you, Master Hongchen!

"But..." Lin Jiayi's next two words made Jing Hongchen's heart clench again.

He suddenly turned around and looked at his capable subordinate: "But what? Stop stammering and explain clearly!"

Lin Jiayi gritted his teeth and said in a trembling voice, "But, Subject Number One has gone missing!"

"What?!" Jing Hongchen felt a sudden darkness before his eyes, and a feeling of suffocation suddenly surged up. He swayed and almost fell, but Lin Jiayi quickly stepped forward to support him.

Jing Hongchen felt as if the sky had collapsed, her chest felt tight, and she felt so sad that she felt like she was about to die.

"You...you say it again?" This time, even his voice trembled slightly.

Lin Jiayi said in a trembling voice, "Experimental Subject Number One has gone missing, Hall Master."

In that instant, Jing Hongchen felt dizzy, as if he had instantly ascended to the supreme and mysterious state of great freedom in folk legends, and collapsed directly into Lin Jiayi's arms.

What does Subject One mean?
This signifies the highest achievement of the entire Mingde Hall in the research of soul tools. Although it is only a semi-finished product, it is equivalent to the culmination of thousands of years of research on soul tools by the Sun Moon Empire!

Jing Hongchen looked at Lin Jiayi with a pale face, his eyes filled with fear.

If he could suppress the significant property damage caused by the attack on Mingde Hall by relying on his prestige in the Sun Moon Empire, then the theft of Experiment Subject No. 1 was something he could not afford to bear. This was a major event concerning the safety of the entire country!

"Master, please take care of yourself! Mingde Hall still needs you to lead the way!" Lin Jiayi said painfully.

Taking a deep breath, trying to suppress the blood rushing through his body, Jing Hongchen whispered, "Who else knows about this?"

Lin Jiayi quickly shook his head and said, "I went to Laboratory No. 1 to check it myself. After discovering that Subject No. 1 was missing, I immediately sealed the door of Laboratory No. 1, changed the password, and only reported to you."

Jing Hongchen managed to calm herself down and said, "Well done. This matter must not be known to anyone."

"Yes." Lin Jiayi quickly agreed.

Jing Hongchen's face flushed red and then turned pale. His only hope now was that Experiment Subject No. 1 contained too much technology and could not be used casually.

Once it is dismantled, it will immediately trigger a self-destruct device, which was designed to prevent theft. In retrospect, the initial choice was correct.

Even so, the loss of numerous precious metals is still an astronomical figure.

Fortunately, Mingdetang has a high degree of autonomy. As long as it can find a way to fix things, it can minimize the negative impact.

Sigh! Looks like I'm going to have to spend a lot of money again!
Damn it, this year, our Hongchen family must be having a run of bad luck!
Jing Hongchen thought with a heavy heart.

"Jia Yi, pass on my order. Everyone present today must keep their mouths shut. Anyone who dares to spread what happened today will be killed without mercy."

"Send people to all major auction houses, including our country, to keep an eye on all high-end auctions. If Subject No. 1 is found, bid for it at all costs immediately."

At this point, Jing Hongchen paused slightly: "Except for the injured Mingde Hall disciples, all healthy members of the Mingde Hall are to be put into emergency mobilization and repair the underground base as soon as possible at all costs."

"Tell the elders that we need to trouble them to rebuild the defenses of Mingde Hall. This time, there can be no more blind spots, understand?"

"Yes," Lin Jiayi quickly agreed. Seeing that Jing Hongchen had regained her composure, he breathed a slight sigh of relief.

"Oh, right, Master, there's something else." Lin Jiayi suddenly remembered someone and quickly said.

Jing Hongchen's face twitched: "Could there be some other loss?"

Lin Jiayi quickly said, "There are no other losses, Hall Master. It's Huo Yuhao. He just came back."

Jing Hongchen was slightly taken aback, then asked anxiously, "He wasn't seriously injured, was he? Is he missing any limbs?"

Jing Hongchen was genuinely afraid that something might happen to Huo Yuhao, and then some terrifying soul beast would break into Shrek Academy and bite off his grandson's two hands or three legs.

Lin Jiayi quickly shook his head: "No, no, I checked carefully. He's not missing any limbs, just a bit disheveled, as if he had traveled a long way back."

Jing Hongchen breathed a sigh of relief: "Finally, some good news. Where is this troublemaker? I'll go check on him."

Lin Jiayi hesitated for a moment, then suddenly whispered, "Master, do you think this surprise attack might be related to Huo Yuhao? If it weren't for him, we wouldn't have sent so many people out, and Mingde Hall wouldn't be so empty inside."

Jing Hongchen was taken aback, then decisively shook his head: "This matter has nothing to do with him; it was just that the enemy happened to seize the opportunity."

There were some things Lin Jiayi didn't know, but Jing Hongchen did.

If he guessed correctly, that obviously "improper" soul beast was most likely created by those evil soul masters of the Holy Spirit Cult.

According to the information he received, the place where this soul beast first appeared was the former branch of the Holy Spirit Cult. When the city guards arrived, the eerie aura of the evil soul masters still lingered there.

The Holy Spirit Cult's branch in Mingdu was suddenly destroyed by someone. This soul beast may have been controlled or imprisoned before. After the branch was destroyed, it was either released by some evil soul master or escaped on its own and was accidentally encountered by Huo Yuhao during its escape.

Jing Hongchen knew that Huo Yuhao was still lacking a soul ring, and given the age of that soul beast, it was not surprising that Huo Yuhao had his eye on it.

Hearing Jing Hongchen directly deny his guess, Lin Jiayi said no more and completely put the matter out of his mind.

Because he knew that, given Jing Hongchen's identity, there were many secrets that he was completely unaware of.

A huge information gap can sometimes lead to significant deviations in one's judgment of things.

Since the hall master is so certain that Huo Yuhao has nothing to do with this matter, then there is no need for me to make wild guesses.

It's a pity Huo Yuhao isn't here, otherwise, he would have sincerely said in his heart: Thank you, Master Hongchen!

After giving instructions to Lin Jiayi, Jing Hongchen went to the centralized quarantine area to find Huo Yuhao.

When Jing Hongchen arrived at the quarantine area, the teachers there were checking everyone as Lin Jiayi had instructed, to prevent anyone from taking advantage of the chaos caused by the academy's surprise attack by an enemy to hoard items.

Just then, it was Huo Yuhao's turn.

After the verbal questioning, the teacher picked up the metal rod next to him and said, "I need to conduct a thorough examination on you. Please put all the soul tools on your body into the storage soul tool and then hand it over to me. There can be no omissions."
