As soon as the Human Emperor Banner came out, I became the Lord of the Old Ones

Chapter 93 Target Locked, Director Monk
The third picture.

The original body was tied tightly to the operating table with three iron chains and a palm-wide leather belt. His internal organs were twitching violently, as if a wildfire was burning inside.

The shadowless light irritated his eyes, and everything in front of him turned pale.

“It’s such a pity.”

A voice as sharp as a scalpel and as cold as an icicle rang in the original body's ears, "Your physique is special. You have gone through so many experiments without suffering from spiritual erosion. Originally, you are very suitable to serve as 'Sample Zero' and be used for a long time.

“What a shame! Why did you incite those people with spiritual erosion to escape with you?
“You simply don’t understand the significance of what you are doing.

"You were all originally beasts from the depths of the wilderness, as worthless as weeds and ants, worthy only of living out your brief lives in confusion and dying quietly.

"However, in my laboratory, your tiny, short, and dirty lives were transformed into invaluable experimental data, making the Heroic Alliance immensely powerful. In this way, you will be forever etched in the history of Heroic Civilization.

"This is such an honor, such a sacred cause. Since you've already signed the volunteer documents and received the corresponding remuneration, how can you be so afraid of death and back down at the last minute?"

The other person gently patted the original body's cheek.

The disappointment is palpable.

"Director Monk—"

Another voice asked, "He was seriously injured while escaping, and all his internal organs have been affected. He can no longer undergo normal experiments. What should we do with him?"

"Use him to test Potion No. 11."

Director Monk said, "Although the Black Dream Organization is a bunch of lunatics, their so-called 'doomsday technology' is truly unique, and the 'combustion capsules' they create are top-notch enhancement potions.

"If we can successfully imitate it, or even optimize it to a better formula, we will definitely be able to sell it to major pharmaceutical companies for a good price."

"clear."

Another voice said, "I'll go prepare the eleventh potion to replicate the burning capsule!"

The fourth picture.

It was pitch black, almost suffocating.

The tip of my nose touched the cold metal, while my skin rubbed against the smooth plastic.

The original body looked like it was put into a black body bag with the zipper pulled to the top of the head.

The soles of my feet felt the high temperature outside, and my ears heard the sounds of burning flames, bursting bones, and crackling.

"This kid's vitality is even stronger than a cockroach."

Some people exclaimed, "Is he really dead?"

"What's it to us?"

Another voice responded impatiently, "Hurry up, help, and put him in the stove."

At this moment, the original body suddenly coughed violently, coughing out the blood clot that was blocking his throat, and his heart started beating again.

"Wait, he's not dead yet."

The first voice hesitated for a moment, lowered its pitch a few degrees, and said mysteriously, "Listen, do you want to make a little money?"

……

"Bang bang bang!"

There was a hurried knock on the door outside the card office.

Xu Yan woke up in shock, and the memories of his original body quickly dissipated in the bright light like a nightmare at sunrise.

Before he could open the door, the iron door, which was more than half a palm thick, was slammed open from the outside.

Unexpectedly, it was not Leiliana, but "Director Green" who had met once at the Rolling Stone Club.

Behind the other party were two armed guards with live ammunition and activated seal cards.

The six gazes were like six searchlights, scanning the situation in the card-making room from all angles without any blind spots.

Xu Yan frowned slightly.

Knowing that the person behind the scenes had discovered the chaos in the card-making room through the micro camera hole, he sent people to check it out.

"Mr. Xu, we meet again."

Supervisor Green looked around and found nothing unusual except the pungent smoke.

The two guards, armed to the teeth, took the opportunity to insert the security card and checked the ventilation grille, but they also found no flaws.

Manager Green could only smile and say, "Are you getting used to staying in the club these past few days? Repairing bronze battle cards is a profound art. Even a gifted card maker like you needs to be extremely careful."

Xu Yan acted as if he didn't like being disturbed. He said nothing and nodded coldly.

"My people are outside, if you need anything, please feel free to call us anytime.

"Also, the club's problems will be resolved soon, and you will be free again soon."

Director Green bowed slightly, and with the two armed guards, he backed out and locked the door from the outside.

Xu Yan was a little surprised and a little excited.

"The other party's vigilance suddenly increased, why?
"You can let me out right away, is that true?"

While thinking, he turned his attention to Director Monk.

Just then, I heard this "Popsicle" whose body temperature was as low as a vampire's, and asked the white coat beside him: "By the way, why is Leiliana still here? She has been here for more than half a month. What exactly does she want to do?"

The white coat responded in a low voice. "Is that what the big boss wants?"

Director Monk snorted in dissatisfaction, "I thought we had already reached an agreement. Leliana only needed to stay at the Rolling Stone Castle and act as a glamorous mascot, and I would be the real technical director of this club!

"Looks like I should have a good talk with the big boss. I've been feeling the atmosphere has been really weird these past few days. The communication line with the safe zone has been down for several days, and I don't know when it will be repaired. The experimental subjects we've been sending are becoming less and less satisfactory. I really don't know what the big boss is up to.

"Everyone, be vigilant and pay attention to any anomalies around you. Remember this: neither the big boss nor Leiliana can be trusted. We are only responsible to the investors in the safe zone. Do you understand?"

Several people in white coats nodded in unison.

Director Monk walked away with his hands behind his back.

Xu Yan fell into deep thought.

Most of the mystery has been revealed. Director Monk is the culprit who caused the original body to be on the verge of death, and is also the source of the original body's strong resentment.

Xu Yan could sense the original body's unstoppable murderous intent like a flood bursting through a dam.

Killing Director Monk would dissipate most of the original body's resentment, allowing the soul and body to merge perfectly, and the life index would also be raised to a higher level.

"I promise, he won't leave here alive."

Xu Yan muttered to himself.

However, what is the relationship between Director Monk, the big boss, and Ms. Leiliana?
What role does the Black Dream Organization play in this? Is it just a simple "client"?
With doubts, Xu Yan controlled the "Jelly" remotely and tried to explore deeper underground.

The fragments of his original body's memory vaguely told him that there were more and more terrifying monsters imprisoned there.

A huge feeling of fatigue surged into my brain like a turbid tide.

The spiritual connection with "Jelly" became extremely weak and intermittent.

“We’ve reached the maximum distance.

"For now, the search area is only this large."

Xu Yan commanded "Jelly" to scan every branch of the ventilation duct, every vent and every blower along the way along the maximum search range.

Of course, the hidden warning array and the secret mechanism that may have embedded seal cards were not missed.

Soon, an underground nest as complex as an anthill appeared in front of his eyes in a three-dimensional form.

The various facilities, materials and personnel scanned by "Jelly" also turned into the most detailed data streams, pouring into Xu Yan's brain.

Everything is a chess piece.

Xu Yan was quietly thinking about how to maximize the value of these chess pieces.

Just as he was about to recall "Jelly" and take the next step.

At the last fork in the road, below the last vent, a fierce quarrel was heard.

Xu Yan's idea moved, and he was about to drive "Jelly" forward to take a look.

A huge sense of crisis caused the "jelly" to lie down and turn into a pool of shivering mud.

"There are experts!"

Xu Yan narrowed his eyes.

He realized that there was a senior "Silver Level" spirit master underneath this vent.

For safety reasons, he didn't dare to drive "Jelly" to peek around.

Fortunately, both sides of the quarrel were very emotional.

Xu Yan immediately recognized that one of the parties was Lei Lianna, who had carefully instructed him for seven days and seven nights!
"You are crazy!"

He heard Leiliana say in a tone of extreme shock and even fear, "The Black Dream Organization is a group of complete lunatics. How can you cooperate with them?"

"I wish I were really crazy, then everything would be easy!"

Another voice was like thunder, shaking Jelly. "It's all because of that traitorous bastard Silver Tongue Riley. He actually dared to provoke Dr. Hyde, a real lunatic. I wish I could tear him into pieces!"
"The new patrol member, Long Jianhuan, is also a complete mad dog. He just caught a whiff of something and then he bit us!
"Right now, the Black Dream Organization and the patrol are like two red-hot iron plates, and we are the sizzling meat pie in the middle that is about to burn.

"Besides completely surrendering to the Black Dream Organization, what other options do we have?"

Xu Yan's mind raced as he analyzed between the lines and figured out that the speaker was none other than the "big boss" John Carter.

"I don't know."

Leiliana was puzzled. "Just because 'Silver Tongue' Riley sold the experimental subjects to Dr. Hyde without our knowledge doesn't mean we have any connection with the Black Dream Organization. Can't the big shot behind you think of a way to smooth things over?"

"The problem is these damn big guys."

The big boss said coldly, "Who do you think I am in their eyes? The people in Rolling Stone Castle think of me as a powerful boss with all-powerful hands, but in the eyes of the bigwigs in the safe zone, I'm just a stink bug, a stink bug that helps them suck blood and can be crushed to death at any time!
"'Silver Tongue' Riley's collusion with the Black Dream Organization has nothing to do with us, but Dr. Hyde's actions have caused such a big stir that it has given the Security Bureau ample excuse to seize on this matter. It seems they are about to follow the clues and investigate here.

“You know better than me how many dirty secrets are hidden here. Anything involving the companies and consortiums in the safe zone must never be exposed.

"Anyway, I've heard that those bigwigs who hate evil are disgusted with us for causing too much trouble and are ready to abandon this place, and are pushing you and me out to take the blame.

"Damn it, I've done all the dirty work for them for over a decade, and I know too much. They won't let me live much longer.

“Of course, you too.

“Wake up, our only way to survive is to cooperate with the Black Dream Organization, pack up everything here, transport it away, and sell it for a good price.

"With the help of the Black Dream Organization and a completely new look, perhaps one day, we can rise again!"
