Life Dungeon Game

Nock was speechless for a moment. He suddenly realized that things were not so simple, as if he had stepped into a huge vortex.

The director's implication was clear: this "Zadi" was very likely the mastermind behind last night's arson attack on the research institute, or one of the masterminds.

However, he quickly realized what was going on and looked at the director, "If he holds such a high position in the research institute, doesn't that prove that the information is more credible? Whether he is the arsonist or not is uncertain, but the evidence of these research institutes' 'illegal and criminal activities' is right in front of us."

"This doesn't necessarily mean it's illegal or criminal..."

The bureau chief fell silent, bathed in the bright sunlight.

The sunlight streaming in from the window fell on his glasses, reflecting a soft glow that obscured his expression. "I need to consult with my superiors about this matter. You should return to your post."

"I!"

Nock was taken aback. He hadn't expected this outcome before he came. He raised his hands, wanting to say something, but didn't know what to say.

"You can go back now," the office door slowly opened, and the director leaned back in his office chair, picking up the landline phone next to him. "Don't tell anyone else about this for now."

At that moment, other agents outside the door began to cast curious glances into the room.

Nock paused for a moment, then slowly stood up.

"it is good."

After sending the email, He Ao returned to the coffee table and continued to review the remaining information with Roger.

The institute's most important function is 'organ cultivation', and its second most important function is to complete the final step of formulating 'life-saving drugs'.

"soul,"

Roger said slowly,

"The final and most important step in preparing the life potion is to add the soul. They will integrate the extracted 'soul' into the life potion in a certain proportion, and then put it into the body of the 'volunteer' to nurture it. During this nurturing process, the volunteer's life will also be consumed. After the nurturing is completed, it is a complete life potion."

He Ao: ······

These people really do everything except good things.

And in a sense, they also 'abide by the law'.

Hmm, this character design looks so familiar.

Roger then shared some analysis results of the research institute's data. After the two exchanged views on the research institute, Reid, and the Fountain of Youth, Heo picked up the manuscript he had summarized again.

The last note on this piece of paper reads, 'Red's Notes'.

This is a summary by He Ao from Reid's annotations on various documents and some snippets written in certain documents.

The vast majority of the information was summarized by He Ao from a document that appeared to be a 'diary'. However, this 'diary' did not have a specific date and consisted mostly of jumbled sentences pieced together, like a garbled article.

However, He Ao still read it all carefully.

Although the diary does not identify its owner, judging from its contents, it most likely belongs to Red, and the diary also describes the process of Red's gradually distorted mental state.

The early diary entries contained clear passages and events, but later they all turned into meaningless and obsessive statements.

For example, in the last few pages of his diary, Red repeats the phrase "everyone will be immortal" almost every few sentences.

Without any logic or prior setup, this sentence can be inserted into a document in any form.

Besides this sentence, He Ao also gleaned a lot of useful information from the 'diary'.

For example, the whereabouts of the life-saving medicine in the safe:

In the third-to-last entry in his diary, Red wrote, "The Doctor took all the potions."

Given the efficiency with which the research institute produces life-saving agents, the fact that there are so few remaining life-saving agents in the refrigerator suggests that this incident must have occurred not long ago.

Besides this, He Ao also received

One clue to the exact location of the Fountain of Youth is a place Red once recorded in his diary where he met the Doctor: "Beside the Fountain of Life, the sky is very close."

The source of life must be the fountain of youth.

The sky is very close, which may mean that it is at a high place.

In addition to these two pieces of information, He Ao also obtained information about the 'Starry Sky Pharmaceutical Mercenary Group'.

In one of his documents, Reid mentioned that the Stars Pharmaceutical Mercenary Group had a force stationed outside the city, whose general was a B-rank officer and who possessed at least twenty C-rank enhancement potions.

"what?"

Upon hearing this news, Roger almost jumped up from the sofa. "You mean in a place where the city's garrison commanders are only C-level, Starry Sky Pharmaceuticals sent a mercenary force led by a B-level commander? What are they trying to do? The city's armed forces aren't even enough to handle them."

He Ao didn't speak, but instead looked at the manuscript paper on the table.

Roger fell silent as he looked at the manuscript papers.

'Trading Life' is a 'new market' that no one has ever explored before, a blue ocean that no one has ever ventured into.

If Qunxing Pharmaceuticals can really make this happen and completely dominate this market, then Qunxing Pharmaceuticals will gain a huge growth point.

Just a rumor about this can cause the stock market to surge.

This enormous profit was enough to tempt the board of directors of Qunxing Pharmaceuticals.

"What are you going to do?"

Roger turned to look at He Ao.

Now they are facing not only the power of Starry Sky Pharmaceuticals in this city, but also a well-organized army led by B-rank soldiers. Although this army is stationed outside the city, they will certainly not stand idly by if something happens inside the city.

During the conversation, Roger learned from Heo that Reed had mutated into a monster close to Rank B. Since Reed, this 'minion,' was already close to Rank B, the 'Doctor' who was leading him was probably at least Rank B as well.

This means that He Ao will be facing two B-level opponents at the same time.

In this city, the vast majority of forces, including the FBI, will likely side with Starsun Pharmaceuticals.

Two Class B units, one city.

Even if He Ao wanted to borrow power, there was nowhere to do so, because there were no B-level experts in this city.

He Ao's strength is only C-level. No matter how strong a C-level person is, they are still only C-level. Even if Roger is added, they are only two C-level people.

He Ao raised his head and looked out the window, where the bright sunlight shone on the lonely city.

Actually, he had a third challenge: the Fountain of Youth.

His mission is to investigate and destroy the Fountain of Youth, which the angel who killed the 'quarryman' had already attempted to destroy once nine hundred years ago.

And today, the Fountain of Youth still exists in this world.

That's a task that even angels couldn't accomplish.

Just then, He Ao's bracelet vibrated.

He raised the bracelet.

-

The weather is lovely today; the sunlight shines on my desk, bringing a touch of warmth.

Nock had his head down, the shadow covering the tablet computer in front of him whose screen was now off.

He stood there, lost in thought, his lifeless eyes staring at the black screen of the tablet.

"Hey."

His colleague patted him on the shoulder.

"what happened?"

He jolted awake from his reverie and turned to look at his colleague.

"The bureau chief wants to see you."

My colleague pointed in the direction of the director's office.

"okay."

Nock stood up somewhat dazedly, bumping his body directly into the edge of the table.

"Nock, what's wrong with you today? Are you sick?"

His colleague looked at him with some confusion.

“It’s nothing,” Nock shook his head and forced a smile at his colleague. “I’m thinking about something.”

He steadied himself and then slowly walked towards the director's office.

The office door was open, and when Nok walked to the door, he found a young man dressed in a smart suit with a slicked-back hairstyle already sitting inside.

Nock stared blankly at the young man as the door behind him slowly closed.

The director rarely allows anyone outside the FBI into his office.

“Nock, let me introduce you,” the director said, putting on his glasses and smiling as he pointed to the young man in front of him. “This is a lawyer from Star Pharmaceuticals. He’s here to file a police report.”

Then he pointed to Knox and said, "This is the most passionate agent in our department. Don't let his youth fool you; he handled the biggest smuggling case in the department recently, and he did it brilliantly. He's both brave and resourceful."

Nock felt a little uncomfortable hearing the bureau chief praise him like that.

The so-called 'biggest smuggling case' involved arresting a few wilderness hunters with old, beat-up guns. When Nok charged at them with his gun, the wilderness hunters were so frightened that they surrendered.

However, Knox didn't miss the key information in the chief's words; he looked at the young lawyer.

"Report a crime?"

What cases require the bureau chief to personally handle them?

And this person is from... StarCraft Pharmaceuticals? What a coincidence? At this particular time?

“Hello, Agent Knok,” the lawyer stood up, smiled, and shook hands with Knok. “I’m here today to report a case to the FBI involving suspected ‘theft of trade secrets’.”

He slowly picked up the briefcase leaning against the chair and took out stacks of thick documents and materials.

Nock stared blankly at his actions. In fact, these documents could all be displayed on a tablet or e-paper, but printing them out with large amounts of expensive paper was a kind of 'elegance' reserved for the upper class.

“This is the information we’ve gathered,” the lawyer said with a smile, placing the documents on the table. “Zadi, the former head of security at the Limen City Research Institute, a subsidiary of the group, used his position to steal important trade secrets from the group and disappeared after the institute caught fire last night. We suspect he has absconded.”

"Zadi's despicable act has caused enormous losses to our group, putting a key, heavily invested project at risk of failure, therefore I..."
