The mouse's memory was not affected, and the laboratory was indeed in that direction.

However, it wasn't on the ground, but underground. But then again, if it were on the ground, it would have been discovered by the hunters long ago. Even if the laboratory wasn't afraid of ordinary hunting groups, experiments are most sensitive to disturbance.

Moreover, the hunting party is not as simple as it seems.

The most powerful hunting groups in the outer circle are no less powerful than some families in the inner circle. In fact, the Hunter Alliance, which was previously destroyed by the combined forces of various families, is almost as powerful as the seven top families in terms of individual strength.

It was precisely because they reached this critical point of power that the Hunter's Alliance was broken up, leaving only a ridiculous wanderer's center.

The laboratory entrance was very well hidden, with a large number of protective magic arrays. Each array was of a considerable level, but the arrangement of these arrays was ridiculous, like a child's random doodles, placed wherever it looked nice.

The originally highly protective array, due to this chaotic arrangement, has become less than two as a result of the sum of its parts.

"Luckily, it was set up by an amateur, otherwise we really wouldn't have been able to dive down there."

The Black Moon consciousness attached to the Shadow Soldier was somewhat relieved that the unilateral arrangement was slightly more normal, allowing these magic arrays to exert their due power, so that it would not have been possible for it to pass through silently.

Behind the magic circle was an extremely deep, silvery-white corridor, with flickering lights on the ceiling that had a slightly reddish tint, making it look rather eerie.

After a short while, Black Moon finally reached the end of the corridor. There were two forks in the road, which looked no different from each other, so Black Moon could only choose one at random.

"Did the experiment fail again?"

"Yes, this is the hundredth time this month. I don't know why the professor wants to study the fusion between insects and humans. Isn't this the task of C9 Lab?"

"Who knows? It would be good enough if the higher-ups would accept us back. Although the conditions are strict, at least with the doctor there is a glimmer of hope."

The younger voice sounded somewhat weary as it asked, "But is it really better to rejoin the organization?"

"I dream about those people cursing me even now."

"Don't overthink it. We are just researchers. In the pursuit of truth, there will always be people who sacrifice themselves. If we become worthless someday, we will also sacrifice ourselves."

"But I still think working for those hunting groups was simpler; it was just about mixing some healing medicines and breeding some special insects."

"But this is pointless, isn't it?"

"Having come to this hellish place, I must have gained something."

"That's what you said."

Two people in white coats walked and talked, and Black Moon took the opportunity to hide in their shadows.

Do you think the PhD student will succeed?

"The professor will definitely succeed, but it's unknown how long it will take. Moreover, compared to the fusion between insects and humans, the professor prefers simple insects and will only experiment with them in his spare time."

"Researching in your spare time? That's amazing. You've conducted hundreds of studies in just one month. Although they all failed, the progress is clearly visible."

"Of course, he's a PhD, it would be strange if he didn't have that ability."

As the two entered a heavily guarded room, their mouths shut as if they were online, no longer uttering a single word, focusing solely on their research.

There were dozens of researchers like the two in the room, each holding a living person. They poured various prepared potions into the living people, and the people began to undergo strange changes.

It grows tentacles, its muscles bulge abnormally, forming fleshy growths, and it constantly spits out long canine teeth, etc.

The only thing they had in common was that the overall appearance of these mutations all evolved into various insects, which made Black Moon feel somewhat nauseous.

For the next two hours, darkness lurked in the shadows of the researchers, who witnessed a variety of extremely frightening and inhumane experiments.

"Found the location."

The words spoken by Black Moon when she opened her eyes stirred everyone's emotions.

"How is it? What's the security like? Are there many valuable things inside?" Dang Yue asked with great concern.

"I'm not very familiar with experimental equipment, but its value shouldn't be too low."

"In addition, I've heard that they seem to have been reinstated."

"Impossible, the organization would never accept an abandoned laboratory." For some reason, Zishu hesitated for a moment and said, "But it's not entirely impossible."

"If the abandoned laboratory happens to be useful to them, or if it contains the talent they urgently need, then it is still possible."

"That should be right. They are studying the fusion of insects and humans. The researchers there say that once they complete this task, the organization will reinstate them."

Black Moon tilted her head and said, "Actually, I'm very curious. Why is this organization so powerful? Why have I never heard of it before?"

Zishu shook his head slightly and said, "There are many secrets in Twilight City, it's normal that you don't know them."

"So what's the organization called? You've already plundered your former employer's assets, it's just a name, hurry up and tell me," Dang Yue said cheekily.

I don’t know if it’s because the prosthetic body modification changed Dang Yue’s face, but now Dang Yue can be said to be extremely unrestrained. The little bit of dignity she once had as the warehouse owner has long since disappeared.

"night."

"night?"

The Rat explained, "The organization is called Night, which represents eternal darkness. The hidden power within it is terrifying. We, the twelve zodiac animals, are just an ordinary combat squad within its ranks."

"We are only responsible for Class C laboratories, which are the lowest level laboratories, and we are only responsible for the simplest tasks of transporting some supplies and transmitting some simple experimental results."

"We only have a partial understanding of the actual situation in the laboratory; we know nothing about most of the core information."

"I once saw a laboratory's covertly armed force. You absolutely cannot imagine how strong they were. Fortunately, each laboratory can only maintain its peak period for a very short time."

“Once the research in each laboratory achieves its ultimate goal or creates a highly valuable item, it will soon be taken away by the organization. Therefore, under normal circumstances, the strength of the laboratory that remains is not very strong.”

"Wait a minute, something's not right. You said the research results from the lab would be transferred. Wouldn't those researchers secretly cultivate some experimental subjects to protect themselves?" Zhuo Lin asked, puzzled.

"I don't know about that, but I imagine it exists. However, if you cultivate it secretly, where would you get the resources?"

The mouse shook its head and said, "Each experiment requires an enormous amount of resources."

"Even if he can secretly cultivate them, they would only be some inferior versions at best, which would not pose much of a threat to us."

"So, just how impressive were the results from those labs you saw back then?" Carmen asked with a smile.

"Invincible below the limit breaker!" Zi Shu said solemnly.

"Ha, such a big talk?" "Hehe, of course I saw it with my own eyes, otherwise why would I say such big words?"

"Four level-nine martial artists fought against him, and in just half an hour, the four martial artists were so badly injured that they were depleted of their qi and blood, and could not even maintain the most basic self-healing!"

"That's a bit of an exaggeration."

"What's the point of all this talk? Our current goal isn't that lab that can take on four martial artists."

Dang Yue interrupted the conversation, somewhat impatiently saying, "The most crucial thing now is whether the laboratory can still be attacked, based on the news Black Moon brought back."

"Hit!" Zishu gritted his teeth.

Hundred Beasts Pavilion

Chen Jiuge stood to the side, looking somewhat nervously at Yun Cheng, who was holding a teacup and remaining silent. She was speechless: "If you're not a big shot in the inner circle, why are you in the outer circle?"

"I've come here mainly to tell you two things."

Yuncheng's voice is very magnetic. In his previous life, he could easily have been a voice-controlled streamer with millions of followers. But the news that came out of that heavenly voice was more and more shocking than the last.

"First, the Hundred Beasts Pavilion will be separated from the Skylight Manor and you will be in full charge of it. From now on, you will not be working for Yunyan alone, but for the entire Yun family."

"Huh?" Chen Jiuge was a little confused. Why was the Hundred Beasts Pavilion being separated?
Ignoring Chen Jiuge's shock, Yun Cheng continued, "Secondly, Yunyan has returned from the ferocious beast world, but she has damaged some of her foundation and should not appear for the next few months."

“You are still a follower of Yunyan, but your Hundred Beasts Pavilion must consider the Yun family. You need to find the right balance.”

"By the way, I've already covered up the little girl's affair for you. As long as you don't show her difference in public, Ye won't notice you."

"he knows!"

Chen Jiuge felt a huge shock. Why would Yuncheng know about Yao Yao's existence? Could it be that the Yun family was the mastermind behind that laboratory?
“I know what you’re thinking, but I’m not. The Night organization is very mysterious, and I don’t know much about it. I only know that one of my old friends is a member. Although that little girl is important, she’s just so-so. With enough test subjects, new results are not difficult to control.”

"Thank you, Seventh Master."

"Yes, I have high hopes for you."

Yun Cheng is a reformist in the Yun family, unlike the traditionalists who put all their eggs in one basket with bio-engineered armor. The Yun family's bio-engineered armor has reached its limit, and the emergence of bio-engineered armor may not bring new hope, but may also bring destruction.

With hands behind their backs, they opened the French windows, and Yuncheng slowly rose into the air and flew away until it became a small black dot and disappeared.

"Although I know you have a high level of cultivation, don't you feel embarrassed flying away like this?" Chen Jiuge said speechlessly.

"But it's still good news."

"Working for the Yun family? Heh, what's the difference between working for Miss Yun and working for her? Seventh Master is really something, knowing exactly how to do things. He wants me to use the Yun family's resources to strengthen the Hundred Beasts Pavilion, so that I can enhance Miss Yun's strength."

The next day, the Yun family's resources arrived.

It wasn't just one or two people who came, but an entire brigade, led by Yun Suying.

Compared to her high spirits when she first arrived at Tianguang Manor, Yun Suying is now quite dejected. She doesn't know why people have been causing her trouble lately. The Spider Woman she originally planned to use to investigate Chen Jiuge has been temporarily put aside to protect her.

If the other party is strong, then it doesn't matter, I can just go back to the Yun family without any problems. But those rats in the shadows are at most level seven or eight, and I have two limit breakers by my side. If I go back in disgrace, not to mention the family, I won't be able to deal with my father alone.

Once she lost her father's help, Yun Suying shuddered; it would be no different from death.

After losing their eligibility for training in the Yun family, they will become low-level staff. If their abilities are even slightly lacking, well, those people you once looked down on might end up above you.

Under such strict family rules, there are very few spoiled brats among the younger generation of the Yun family. Of course, this is very cruel to the lower-class members of the Yun family.

"congratulations."

Yun Suyi forced a smile, her eyes even revealing a hint of envy.

The clan's support for the Hundred Beasts Pavilion is quite substantial, but it's a pity that such an asset is being handed over to outsiders; it's truly displeasing.

However, there was nothing that could be done about it, because the Yun family really didn't have any beast tamers.

Most of the beast tamers in Twilight City have been divided up by the Chen and Yue families. Even if those particularly powerful beast tamers give you face, they would never use you, Yun family, as a machine for breeding spirit beasts. Therefore, Chen Jiuge is the best candidate.

"Thirty skilled builders, whose training methods are specifically designed for construction, are faster and produce higher quality work than ordinary construction teams."

"Ten array masters will set up arrays around all the buildings to ensure their safety."

"Thirty beast-taming apprentices have only learned the most basic beast-taming and breeding methods. You'll have to put in more effort for the rest."

"Three hunting teams are dedicated to capturing ferocious beasts and finding spiritual materials for you, ensuring that you won't encounter any trouble when raising those beasts."

"Ten cybernetic armed teams will ensure the safety of all branches of the Hundred Beasts Pavilion."

Finally, Yun Suying reluctantly handed several storage rings to the Spider Woman beside her, saying, "This is the assistant assigned to you by the higher-ups. You must verify the required funds with her."

That's right, Spider Woman became Chen Jiuge's accounting assistant, which was also due to the involvement of Yun Suyi's father.

Yun Suyi was reluctant because the Spider Woman would not return to his side for a long time to come, and even in the future, she would not return. Also, without the Spider Woman, his own safety needed to be addressed. Since he had come to the outer circle, he could recruit a few cannon fodder from there.

Over the next month, Chen Jiuge truly witnessed just how powerful the Yun family's ability to act was.

In just one month, Spider Woman, carrying the Yun family's edict, traveled to most of the outer circle and directly selected the addresses of various branches of the Hundred Beasts Pavilion.

There was much resistance during this period, but under the Spider Woman's Limit Breaker abilities, there was absolutely no power to resist.

The Ten Courts of Justice caused the Spider Woman a lot of trouble because of this, but for some reason, every time the Ten Courts of Justice came to question her, Chen Jiuge always felt that it was just going through the motions, and she was always the one who got scolded.

After being scolded again by the Grand Executive Officer of the Ten Palaces, Chen Jiuge's face was somewhat gloomy.

"Spider Woman, next time, don't do it yourself. Wouldn't it be better to let someone else do it?"

"It's faster to do it yourself." The Spider Woman's rosy lips curled into a faint smile.

"But it wasn't you who got scolded, it was me!"

Chen Jiuge said with some displeasure.

"So, will the Pavilion Master personally handle the matter of the Hundred Beasts Pavilion branch?"

"Ahem, never mind then."

This time is different from the beginning. The Yun family is clearly making a big move, significantly infringing on the interests of the outer circle. I don't want to be turned into mincemeat by the enraged outer forces. (End of Chapter)
