What aunt? They are obviously sisters.

Li Ming and Ayako sat down in an inconspicuous teahouse. The wooden structure of the teahouse looked particularly quaint after years of baptism.

They quietly observed the movements on the street, and through the half-open windows, the lingering aroma of tea seemed to be a barrier between them and the outside world.

Both of them had vigilance in their eyes, always paying attention to everything going on around them.

A group of men in plain clothes patrolled the streets, their steps in unison and their vigilance high.

Ayako lowered her voice and said, "These people are not ordinary citizens."

Her voice was like a gentle breeze, soft but with a hint of nervousness.

She stared at the patrolmen, trying to find some unusual signs.

Li Ming nodded and glanced at a small temple with simple decorations on the corner of the street.

"It looks like a stronghold there," he said, his tone cautious.

His eyes were deep and calm, as if they could penetrate all the fog.

The small temple does not seem to stand out among its surroundings, but a closer look reveals some anomalies.

Occasionally, strangers passed by the temple, but most of them just stopped for a moment and then left quickly with nervous expressions.

"We need to get closer," Ayako suggested, with a hint of excitement in her tone.

There was a desire in her eyes, as if she wanted to uncover the mystery of this mysterious stronghold.

Her heart is full of curiosity and adventurous spirit, eager to explore the unknown world.

Li Ming pondered for a moment and nodded.

He knew that this might be the breakthrough point to sneak into Amaterasu's experimental base.

His heart was full of vigilance, but at the same time he was also filled with a firm determination.

He knew that this battle was not only for himself, but also for those who were oppressed by evil forces.

The two carefully walked around to the back of the temple, where a path led to a bamboo forest.

In the bamboo forest, the emerald green bamboos stand tall and straight, like a natural barrier.

The breeze blows, and the bamboo leaves rustle, as if telling an ancient story.

After observing the terrain, they found a camouflaged underground entrance hidden deep in the bamboo forest.

Although there was a surveillance camera installed at the entrance, Ayako noticed that there was a blind spot in the camera's coverage.

"Enter from here." Ayako said softly.

Her voice was like a gentle breeze, soft but with a hint of nervousness.

Her eyes were fixed on the entrance, as if waiting for an adventure to begin.

Li Ming glanced around and after confirming that no one was paying attention, he took Ayako and quickly ran through the bamboo forest, using the blind spot to successfully avoid surveillance.

They gently pushed open the camouflaged door and entered a dim underground passage.

There was an old atmosphere in the passage, and the lights on the walls were dim and weak, as if telling an ancient secret.

The underground passage is very long, and the walls are covered with strange symbols and words, which look like ancient sacrificial texts, but also contain traces of modern technology.

The combination feels particularly unsettling.

Li Ming walked in front with steady steps, carefully avoiding possible traps with every step.

His eyes were full of vigilance, as if he was exploring an unknown world.

Ayako followed closely behind, her eyes full of vigilance.

She held a dagger tightly in her hand, as if waiting for a battle to begin.

At the end of the passage, a low humming sound suddenly came from the room. It was the sound of some high-tech equipment running.

Li Ming stopped and listened attentively.

There was a thoughtful look in his eyes, as if he was thinking about the source of the sound.

"The experimental base is ahead." Li Ming said in a low voice.

His voice was like a gentle breeze, soft but with a hint of nervousness.

His eyes were fixed straight ahead, as if waiting for an adventure to begin.

They sneaked into a huge space from the exit of the passage.

The layout of this place is chilling - there are traditional wooden beams and paper sliding doors above, while the floor and walls are made of cold metal, and all around are various experimental equipment.

A transparent culture chamber is placed on the experimental table, and test subjects of various shapes are immersed in the chamber.

Ayako couldn't help but gasp.

"Are these...living people?"

Her voice was full of fear and anxiety, as if she had seen a terrible world.

Her eyes were fixed on the culture chambers, as if looking for some answers.

Li Ming's eyes turned cold and he walked to a culture cabin.

The person inside was no longer like a normal person. His limbs were twisted, his eyes were empty, and he seemed to be struggling in pain and madness.

He checked the data panel on the incubator and saw the words "Gene fusion failed" written on it.

"The Amaterasu is forcibly implanting superpower genes." Li Ming said coldly, "These people may be ordinary citizens who were abducted."

His voice was full of anger and helplessness, as if he had seen a dark world.

His eyes revealed a firm determination, as if he wanted to seek justice for these innocent people.

Ayako covered her mouth and her eyes turned slightly red.

Although she knew about the darkness of the extraordinary world, she had never imagined it could be so dark.

She couldn't help but move closer to Li Ming, as if trying to seek a sense of security.

Her heart was filled with fear and anxiety, but also with a firm determination.

She knew that she could not retreat and she had to fight on with Li Ming.

"Keep going." Li Ming said in a deep voice, "This is just the tip of the iceberg."

There was firmness and determination in his voice, as if telling Ayako that they could not retreat, they had to keep moving forward.

There was a thoughtful look in his eyes, as if he was thinking about the secret of this experimental base.

The two continued to go deeper into the laboratory corridor and saw more horrifying scenes along the way.

Some test subjects lost control and were forcibly locked in steel cages, wailing in pain;
Some successfully transformed bodies were injected with drugs and sent to another area, apparently to undergo further transformation.

The pain and wailing of those test subjects seemed like a silent protest, which made people feel pity.

In an archive room, they found an unencrypted terminal device.

Li Ming quickly cracked the system and downloaded the experimental records from it.

His fingers moved rapidly on the keyboard, as if he was playing a passionate piece of music.

His eyes revealed a focus and determination, as if he was looking for the key to victory in this battle.

"'God's Gene' experiment..." Li Ming flipped through the records with a frown on his face.

"Sakura Yuki Chikage is one of the core test subjects of this experiment."

His voice was full of surprise and confusion, as if he had seen a complex world. His eyes revealed a kind of contemplation, as if he was thinking about the purpose and significance of this experiment.

Ayako looked shocked.

"Was she also forced to transform?"

Her voice was full of fear and anxiety, as if she had seen a terrible world.

Her eyes were fixed on Li Ming, as if waiting for an answer.

Li Ming snorted coldly.

"It's likely that she volunteered, but regardless, she played a key role in this experiment.

We have to get out as soon as possible and get this data out.”

His voice was full of firmness and determination, as if telling Ayako that they could not retreat and they must leave this dangerous place as soon as possible.

However, just as the two were preparing to evacuate, a rapid alarm suddenly sounded, the red warning lights inside the laboratory flashed, and the low alarm sound made people's scalps tingle.

The alarm sounded like a declaration of death, and it made people feel fear in their hearts.

"Intruder! Lock on the intruder!" A cold mechanical voice came from the radio.

The voice was as cold as ice, making people shudder.

"Damn, the alarm has been triggered." Li Ming's face darkened. He quickly saved the data in the terminal into the chip on his body, then pulled Ayako and retreated towards the exit.

His eyes were full of tension and anxiety, as if he had seen a dangerous world.

His heart was filled with regret and self-blame, as if he was blaming himself for not being more careful.

However, the alarm seemed to stimulate the modified bodies in the laboratory.

Some failed test subjects imprisoned in cages began to violently bang against the cages.

Some of the successfully transformed extraordinary people rushed out of the room and blocked the way of the two.

The madness and violence of those modified bodies seemed like a silent protest, which made people feel pity for them.

"Ayako, follow me closely!" Li Ming shouted, and the energy in his hand turned into a long energy sword, which he chopped fiercely at a modified body blocking the way ahead.

His voice was full of firmness and determination, as if telling Ayako that they could not retreat and they must continue to fight.

His eyes revealed a focus and determination, as if he was looking for the key to victory in this battle.

Although the modified body's movements were slow, its strength was extremely amazing.

Li Ming chopped down with his knife, and although he hit the opponent's shoulder, the opponent only took a few steps back and soon rushed forward again.

His heart was filled with surprise and confusion, as if he had seen a powerful enemy.

There was a look of contemplation in his eyes, as if he was thinking about how to defeat this enemy.

Ayako no longer hesitated, took out a dagger, nimbly dodged the attack of a modified body, and then stabbed the opponent's neck accurately with the knife.

Although she is not a natural fighter, long-term training has enabled her to burst out with extraordinary calmness and decisiveness at critical moments.

There was a firmness and determination in her eyes, as if telling herself that she could not retreat and she must keep fighting.

However, the number of modified bodies was too large and gradually surrounded the two.

A hint of ruthlessness flashed in Li Ming's eyes. He suddenly activated the genetic power in his body. A powerful aura burst out around his body, which repelled all the modified bodies around him.

His heart was filled with anger and helplessness, as if he had seen a hopeless world.

There was a firm determination in his eyes, as if he was looking for the key to victory in this battle.

"Go!" he growled.

His voice was full of firmness and determination, as if telling Ayako that they could not retreat and they must leave this dangerous place as soon as possible.

His eyes revealed anxiety and tension, as if he had seen a dangerous world.

Ayako no longer hesitated and rushed towards the exit following Li Ming.

However, there was a sudden sound of heavy footsteps behind them.

An unusually tall transformed transcendent appeared at the end of the corridor.

His eyes were bloodshot and the muscles in his arms were swollen like rocks.

The power and violence of the transformed extraordinary being seemed like a silent protest, which made people feel pity for him.

"Experimental subject SS-01, target locked!" a cold reminder came from the radio.

The voice was as cold as ice, making people shudder.

"Ayako, you go first!" Li Ming stood in front of her with determination in his eyes.

His voice was full of firmness and determination, as if telling Ayako that he could not back down and he had to keep her safe.

His eyes revealed anxiety and tension, as if he had seen a dangerous world.

"No, I can't leave you!" Ayako said stubbornly.

Her voice was full of firmness and determination, as if telling Li Ming that she could not retreat and she must fight with him.

Her eyes revealed anxiety and tension, as if she had seen a dangerous world.

Li Ming looked back at her, his eyes were gentle, but his tone was unquestionable: "This is an order!"

His voice was full of firmness and determination, as if telling Ayako that they could not retreat and they must leave this dangerous place as soon as possible.

His eyes revealed anxiety and tension, as if he had seen a dangerous world.

Ayako gritted her teeth, but finally turned around and ran towards the exit.

She knew that staying here would only be a burden to Li Ming.

Her heart was filled with guilt and self-blame, as if she was blaming herself for not having more powerful power.

Her eyes revealed a firm determination, as if telling herself that she could not retreat and she must leave this dangerous place as soon as possible.

Faced with the powerful transformed superhuman, Li Ming pushed the genetic power in his body to the limit.

His speed and strength had reached their peak, and although there were dangers all around him, he still managed to repel the opponent.

His heart was filled with anger and helplessness, as if he had seen a hopeless world.

There was a firm determination in his eyes, as if he was looking for the key to victory in this battle.

Finally, he dragged his tired body to the exit and met Ayako who was waiting outside.

His heart was filled with fatigue and helplessness, as if he had seen a hopeless world.

There was a firm determination in his eyes, as if he was looking for the key to victory in this battle.

The two finally managed to escape from the experimental base and return to the safe area.

Ayako checked Li Ming's injuries and found that although he had suffered a lot of skin injuries, he was not seriously injured.

Her heart was filled with guilt and self-blame, as if she was blaming herself for not protecting Li Ming better.

"Master, how are we supposed to deal with such a powerful enemy?" Ayako asked in a low voice, worry in her tone.

There was anxiety and tension in her voice, as if she had seen a dangerous world.

Her eyes revealed a firm determination, as if telling herself that she could not retreat and she must continue fighting with Li Ming.

Li Ming looked at the data chip in his hand and said, "Find Sakura Yuki Chikage. She must have the key to cracking the Amaterasu plan." (End of this chapter)
