What aunt? They are obviously sisters.

After Sakurayuki Chikage left, the atmosphere in the shelter seemed to freeze.

Silence enveloped the entire space, and the air seemed to become heavy.

Ayako lowered her head and flipped through the experimental documents. Her fingers trembled slightly, trying to hide her inner uneasiness, but her eyes swept towards Li Ming from time to time.

She was wearing a black tight combat uniform that perfectly outlined her beautiful figure.

Her long hair was casually tied into a ponytail, with a few strands hanging by her cheeks, adding a touch of softness.

However, at this moment her eyes were full of worry and uneasiness.

"Would you believe her?" Ayako finally broke the silence, her voice cautious. Her voice trembled slightly, as if she was afraid to hear Li Ming's answer.

Li Ming stood in front of the monitoring station, staring at the still image on the screen, as if thinking about something. He was tall and straight, wearing a black combat jacket, with a sharp dagger and a pistol on his waist. His eyes were deep and sharp, as if he could see through everything. His hair was a little messy, but it made him look even more unruly.

He spoke slowly.

"I don't believe it. But I can't ignore what she said." Li Ming's voice was low and powerful, as if declaring his determination.

"So what are you going to do?" Ayako took a step closer, her tone hurried. Her eyes were full of expectation, as if she was waiting for Li Ming to give an answer.

"We don't have much time. If she is telling the truth, the Freemasons will definitely step up their actions." Li Ming turned his head, his eyes cold and firm. His eyes revealed a kind of determination, as if he was ready to face everything.

"We have to find evidence. If she is right, then this is not just revenge, but a complete destruction of their plans." Li Ming's voice was full of fighting spirit, as if he was declaring war on the enemy.

Ayako was silent for a moment and nodded.

"Okay, I'll go with you." Ayako's voice was full of determination, as if showing Li Ming her determination.

The two began to search for clues from the experimental documents and equipment. A name mentioned in the documents frequently appeared-"Amaterasu Experimental Base", an organization that worked closely with Freemasonry.

According to intelligence, Amaterasu focuses on genetic modification technology and is an important pillar of the "God Gene" project.

"We have to go there." Li Ming pointed to a red dot on the map and said, his finger firmly pointed at the red dot, as if challenging fate.

"If what Sakura Yuki Chikage said is half credible, this is where we can find the answer." Li Ming's voice was full of expectation, as if he was looking for a glimmer of hope.

Ayako looked at the map with a trace of worry on her face. Her eyes were full of worry, as if she was worried about the upcoming danger.

"But you also know that the defenses of a place like this must be extremely tight. With just the two of us..." Ayako's voice was full of hesitation, as if she was considering whether to take the risk.

"We have no choice." Li Ming said firmly. His eyes revealed a kind of determination, as if he was ready to face everything.

"Besides, I have a way to sneak in." Li Ming's voice was full of confidence, as if he was assuring Ayako that they would succeed.

A week later, Kyoto

The experimental base of Amaterasu is hidden under a bustling block, and on the surface it is an ancient Japanese shrine. However, the passage inside the shrine leads to a high-tech facility underground.

As night fell, the streets of Kyoto were brightly lit and bustling with people. Li Ming and Lingzi were dressed in casual clothes, blending in with the crowd. Their figures seemed particularly small in the crowd, yet full of mystery.

Li Ming was wearing a black jacket and a black hat, hiding his face in the shadows. His eyes were sharp and alert, constantly scanning the surrounding environment.

Ayako was wearing a black dress with long hair, looking particularly beautiful. Her eyes were full of vigilance, and she held a small backpack tightly in her hand, which contained their equipment.

They carefully observed the entrances and exits of the shrine and found that there were many plainclothes guards patrolling nearby.

"These people look ordinary, but their pace and vigilance tell me that they are all professionally trained." Ayako whispered, her eyes sweeping over a young man approaching the shrine. Her voice was full of vigilance, as if reminding Li Ming to be careful.

"There are also secret sentries." Li Ming nodded. His eyes revealed a kind of vigilance, as if he was analyzing the enemy's deployment.

"But there is a loophole." Li Ming's voice was full of confidence, as if he had found the enemy's weakness.

He pointed to a wall on the side of the shrine, where a narrow ventilation duct was vaguely visible.

According to the intelligence they learned, this pipeline leads directly into the base, but there are sensors installed at the entrance.

"I'll lead the guards away, and you'll be responsible for shutting down the sensors." Li Ming assigned the tasks decisively. His voice was full of decisiveness, as if he was directing a battle.

Ayako frowned slightly.

"Are you sure you want to act alone? What if we are discovered..." Ayako's voice was full of worry, as if she was worried about Li Ming's safety.

"Don't worry, I won't give them this opportunity." Li Ming glanced at her with a firm gaze. His eyes revealed a kind of confidence, as if he was assuring Ayako that he would succeed.

"And you can do it, I believe you." Li Ming's voice was full of trust, as if he was cheering Ayako up.

Ayako took a deep breath and nodded.

"Okay, then be careful." Ayako's voice was full of concern, as if reminding Li Ming to be careful.

Li Ming's movements were swift and precise.

He pretended to be a lost tourist, approached the shrine's main gate and deliberately spoke to the guards.

"Excuse me, where is this place? I seem to be lost." Li Ming's voice was full of confusion, as if he was really a lost tourist.

The guard looked at him warily, his eyes full of suspicion.

"This is a shrine, you shouldn't wander around here. Please leave as soon as possible." The guard's voice was full of vigilance, as if warning Li Ming not to get close.

In the moment when the other party was distracted, he swiftly attached a small jamming device to the guard's waist.

When the device was activated, it produced a piercing interference sound.

The guards immediately looked around, trying to find the source of the noise.

At this moment, Ayako had quietly sneaked into the ventilation duct and successfully turned off the sensor using the tools she carried with her.

"It's done," Ayako whispered through the headset. Her voice was full of excitement, as if she was happy about her success.

"Very good, I should go too." Li Ming quickly got away and went around to the side to meet up with Ayako.
After the two entered the experimental base, Ayako gasped at the sight that greeted them.

The corridors here were covered with silver-white metal, exuding a cold mechanical atmosphere. Huge transparent culture chambers were installed on both sides of the walls, and a large number of humans who were undergoing transformation were immersed in them. These people had dull eyes and their bodies were wrapped in pipes, as if they were machines with their souls extracted.

"Oh my god..." Ayako murmured in a low voice. Her voice was full of shock and fear, as if she couldn't accept the scene before her.

"They are actually doing this kind of thing..." Ayako's voice was full of anger, as if she was standing up for these innocent people.

Li Ming's face was equally gloomy. His eyes were full of anger and disgust, as if he was looking at a group of demons.

He walked to a culture chamber and carefully observed the human body inside.

"These people... are not here voluntarily." Li Ming's voice was filled with anger, as if he was condemning the cruelty of the Freemasons.

Ayako nodded.

"The report mentioned that they kidnapped innocent people and implanted genetic modifications into them. The failed ones were destroyed, and the successful ones became their puppets." Ayako's voice was filled with anger, as if she felt sad for these innocent people.

The two continued to go deeper and found a large amount of experimental data and video records in the main control room.

Li Ming quickly backed up the data and opened the experimental log at the same time.

One of the videos shows Sakura Yuki Chikage standing in the middle of the laboratory, calmly discussing the progress of the project with several experimenters. Her expression is stern, and her words reveal a hint of unquestionable majesty.

"She is indeed one of the leaders." Li Ming whispered, his eyes were full of confusion and anger, as if he was wondering why Ying Xue Qian Ying would be involved in such a thing.

"But she doesn't look like she completely obeys the Freemasons." Li Ming's voice was full of doubts, as if he was analyzing Sakura Yuki Chikage's motives.

Just as the two were studying the records, the alarm suddenly sounded.

Red lights inside the base began to flash, and a cold mechanical voice came from the loudspeaker.

"Intruder alert. Everyone on alert."

"We're exposed!" Ayako quickly pulled out her pistol. Her voice was full of tension and vigilance, as if she was preparing for a battle.

"Go!" Ayako's voice was full of decisiveness, as if she was commanding Li Ming to leave as soon as possible.

However, just as they were about to retreat, the gate of the base slammed shut.

A group of modified warriors in black combat uniforms rushed in, holding high-tech weapons in their hands, with cold and emotionless eyes.

"Looks like we have to fight." Li Ming sneered, pulled out a dagger with his right hand, and took a fighting stance. His voice was full of confidence and determination, as if he was declaring war on the enemy.

The transformed warriors moved incredibly fast, they worked in perfect harmony, with almost no unnecessary movements. Their figures shuttled through the corridor like a group of black ghosts.

Li Ming faced the oncoming enemies, kicked the one in front of him down, and then cut the throat of another with a dagger. His movements were swift and precise, and each strike went straight to the vital points. His eyes were full of anger and determination, as if he was avenging those innocent people who had been reformed.

Ayako hid behind the bunker, shooting accurately with a pistol to cover Li Ming's actions. Her eyes were full of tension and concentration, and the pistol in her hand kept spurting out flames.

However, the number of enemies was too great, and soon the two were forced into a desperate situation.

"Li Ming, we can't hold on for much longer!" Ayako shouted as she fired. Her voice was full of tension and despair, as if she was waiting for Li Ming's response.

"Hold on!" Li Ming responded coldly, looking around, trying to find a breakthrough. His eyes were full of determination and resoluteness, as if telling Ayako that they would definitely be able to break through.

At this moment, one side of the laboratory wall suddenly exploded, and a silver-white figure slowly walked out of the smoke and dust.

"Your efficiency is really low." Ying Xue Qianying stood at the door with a hint of disdain in her tone. Her voice was full of confidence and arrogance, as if she was mocking the incompetence of Li Ming and Ayako.

"You actually need me to do it myself." Sakura Yuki Chikage's voice was full of confidence and arrogance, as if she was showing her strength to Li Ming and Ayako.

Her eyes swept across the knocked down transformed warrior and then stopped on Li Ming.

"It seems that you have not completely lost your value." Yingxue Qianying's voice was full of confidence and arrogance, as if she was evaluating Li Ming's ability.

Li Ming sneered.

"So you are here to save us?" Li Ming's voice was full of suspicion and vigilance, as if he was testing Sakura Yuki Chiying's motives.

"Save you? No, I'm just passing by." Ying Xue Qian Ying raised her lips slightly, raised her hand, and a blazing energy wave knocked down all the remaining enemies. Her movements were relaxed and graceful, as if she was doing something insignificant.

"Let's go." She said without turning back.

"If you don't want to die, follow me." Sakura Yuki Chikage's voice was full of confidence and arrogance, as if she was ordering Li Ming and Ayako to follow her.

Li Ming and Ayako looked at each other. Although they were full of doubts, they decided to follow Sakurayuki Chikage for the time being.

The three of them fought their way out, and finally rushed out of the experimental base amidst the siege of countless pursuers.

However, this battle is just the beginning, and a bigger conspiracy is gradually surfacing... (End of this chapter)
