"It was missing. It disappeared for a while when Green Sun attacked the center and stole some of the Shadow Prime Minister's data. But later the royal family found it in the central fortress cave. When it was found, it had already broken down, so the gun was stored in the academy. The plan to repair it has been in preparation for more than ten years, but still no suitable solution has been found."

As they went deeper, Zhao Mingda saw more things that surprised even him, the former deputy director of the Science and Rehabilitation Institute.

Not long after, they also walked into the room where the "river" was flowing on the ceiling and 42 special admissions students were lying on the beds nearby.

As soon as he walked in, Zhao Mingda was stunned.

"What is this place for?"

The curator seemed to be quite unconcerned about this. In his opinion, this was probably the least noticeable project in the entire cellar.

"We are making keys. Recently, the academy has produced many talented people. The keys that have been preserved since the old century were able to maintain a stable income and expenditure. However, due to the increase in the use of keys, we have to expand production."

Zhao Mingda stood there without moving. He just stared at the student with a dead look on his face.

"Why are keys made of humans? I've never heard of this before!"

The curator didn't notice the change in Zhao Mingda's expression at all, and he still spoke proudly.

"In the past, the efficiency of key production was too slow and could not meet the needs of the students in the academy. Later, the 87th principal improved the key production process, which led to the current prosperity of the academy and the glory of the dungeon."

Zhao Mingda's face looked extremely ugly. He seemed to have completely lost any desire to continue chatting with the person in front of him. He just turned around and left.

After waiting for a long time and hearing no response from behind, the library director couldn't help but turn around.

He looked at Zhao Mingda's back as he walked away quickly, full of confusion. He shouted twice, but still did not stop the figure who seemed to be trying to escape from this place.

After walking out of the cellar, Zhao Mingda had no intention of stopping. He got on the tram with a clear goal in mind, and then came to the residence of the team from the Science and Rehabilitation Institute who came to the college for an inspection.

The group of reviewers who were having dinner were all surprised by Zhao Mingda's sudden visit.

They all knew that their deputy director had taken the initiative to ask the director for a transfer and came to the college.

When they first came, I also told them privately not to act like they were very familiar with him in the academy and to interrogate them as they should.

But now, he found it openly.

Zhao Mingda ignored the glances coming over. He just looked at the leader of the review team with a gloomy face.

"Huang Xuan, come here!"

The team leader whose name was called walked over with a puzzled look on his face, and he followed Zhao Mingda to a private corner.

"Boss Zhao, what's wrong?" As Zhao Mingda's former direct subordinate, even though the two no longer have a superior-subordinate relationship, Huang Xuan still behaved very respectfully.

"Do you know how the keys to the academy are produced now?"

Zhao Mingda's voice was stern and he stared closely into Huang Xuan's eyes.

Huang Xuan fell silent obviously. Under Zhao Mingda's gaze, he spoke after more than ten seconds.

"Before I came, the director talked to me privately about some things and told me what I could and could not check."

Although he did not admit it directly, this was the same as admitting it.

The expression on Zhao Mingda's face became even more gloomy.

"Human lives! They are using the lives of students in the academy to make keys! This has actually started since the 87th president, which means that for nearly 200 years, all scientists have had another person's blood in their bodies! If this is not considered a violation of the Taboo Act! Then what else is not allowed!"

Huang Xuan didn't dare to look directly into Zhao Mingda's eyes.

"But, before I came, the director had already told me that some things have to be flexible. Not only the school board of directors, but also the Discipline and Discipline Institute, the cabinet and the royal family are all aware of this matter and have acquiesced. The Taboo Act can no longer keep up with the current era. Some things should be turned a blind eye."

When Zhao Mingda heard his words, his face turned pale. He seemed to be extremely unbelievable to get such an answer.

"Acquiesced? The royal family and the cabinet knew about it? Did the academy report it to the higher-ups long ago?"

"Yes."

"Using the lives of their own people as raw materials! Making things that were once taboo the norm now! What is the need for such a royal family and such a cabinet to exist? Who are they protecting? And who is protecting them!"

Huang Xuan's face changed drastically when he heard Zhao Mingda's fierce and rebellious remarks!

He stared into Zhao Mingda's eyes.

"Boss Zhao! How can you say that! What people's lives? They are just a few special recruits. Using their lives can gain more control over scientific rules. What's wrong with that? You are too pedantic!"

"Am I just being pedantic? Or are you all crazy?"

"Stop talking! You are no longer the deputy director of the rehabilitation center! I still respect you, but if you continue to pester me like this, I will have to suspect that there is something wrong with your thinking, and I will initiate a personal ideological investigation against you!"

Their quarrel grew louder and louder, soon attracting the attention of the other members of the group.

Zhao Mingda just had a cold face and pointed at Huang Xuan as if his body was shaking with anger. Finally, he could not say anything and turned around and left.

College, Principal's Office.

The library director sat opposite the principal Xin Guohong with an apologetic look on his face.

"I didn't think it through. I thought Zhao Mingda had been in the detention center for so long that he must understand some things."

Xin Guohong just waved his hand.

"It's not your fault. His status is indeed high enough, but he is a bit old-fashioned and can't accept such things. But it doesn't matter, he will figure it out later. Everything we do is not for our own selfish desires, but for the cabinet, the royal family, and the entire underground human race."

"So what should we do after this incident?"

"No need to do anything. Just keep an eye on him as much as possible and don't let him do anything irrational. Also, keep your mouth shut recently. I have heard some rumors about the [Changping Warehouse] plan in the academy. After you leave me, help me tell the discipline director to take good care of this matter."

His tone suddenly became extremely serious and earnest.

"Especially, we must not let such rumors spread to the Twilight Church, otherwise that dangerous person whose thoughts have long been judged to be extremely dangerous will definitely cause big trouble!"

"I see!"

Xin Guohong nodded and leaned back in his chair with a relaxed body.

"As for the special recruitment class, I remember you are in charge of it this time, right? You need to be more responsible for them in the next month. There have been many good students in the past few years. I remember one of them committed a serious crime, but we didn't deal with him in advance."

"These are all valuable talents. The making and production of keys is one thing, but the most important thing for us to remember is to recover what we once abandoned!"

Chapter 137 Cellar

There seemed to be an undercurrent surging in the college.

But few people noticed anything wrong, as if everything was the same as before.

After the natural theory exam, a new group of regular students received their keys, and special classes for special admissions were also put on the agenda at this time.

The list of students who have been in the academy for a full year and whose daily grades are in the top 5% has been announced. It is planned that they will gather together tomorrow and go to an independent teaching venue in the west area of ​​the academy for a month of special training.

After Zhao Mingda learned about the existence of the cellar, he locked himself in the apartment and did not go out the whole day. No matter who came to look for him, even when Huang Xuan came to visit and sincerely said that his language was too harsh yesterday and wanted to apologize, he did not open the door.

And so, the day turned into night again.

9 o'clock, under the Zhiming River Bridge.

Levi, Zhu Long and Green gathered here together.

They looked at each other, and without saying anything else, they walked towards the entrance of the cellar together.

Green opened the door with his authorization card, and they each climbed in, carrying a large empty backpack.

There was no change here from the last time they came here two days ago. It was still the same long staircase. However, when passing the surveillance camera in the middle of the stairs, Green did not let Levi do it this time. He took out something like a remote control from his pocket and controlled the surveillance direction of the camera, allowing them to avoid this only obstacle more easily.

"One of the prohibited items in the Discipline Department. When I first became the director, I confiscated it from a deputy director of the Management Department."

Green explained to them.

Levi was very interested in this remote control.

"When you're done with this trip, just leave this thing to me."

"it is good."

They went deep underground, and when they passed the room which was specially used to extract certain things from the minds of the special recruits, they looked inside and found that the 42 bodies that were originally lying on the beds had disappeared.

There was nothing on the ceiling either, no "river" flowing.

Without stopping here, they continued down and finally reached the end of the stairs.

The laboratory behind the glass door was still clean and bright, but the operating table was no longer there. They had seen the researcher in white isolation suit configuring the keys before.

After they looked around the laboratory and made sure that there was no one inside and there were no sensing devices, the three of them approached the glass door, and after the door was slowly opened, they walked in together.

When they actually walked in, they found that the operating table originally used to configure the keys had been expanded more than three times.

"The college is preparing for the large-scale production of keys in the future." Zhu Long said in a cold voice.

Levi walked closer to the operating table. It was clean, with no residue except for a few test tubes.

Green approached the culture tube in the center of the laboratory that connected the floor and the ceiling. There was nothing inside, only a light blue liquid.

"The raw materials of the key should not only be the knowledge in the minds of the special recruits. It can give people the ability to master the rules. The main body of the key must not be a simple thing."

Levi said softly.

Green also said.

"This laboratory called the cellar was not just used to make keys. Today, I went to the archives of the Student Union and found the secret archives of the academy. There are several experiments and achievements recorded in history that were completed in the cellar."

Levi stopped in front of a touch screen with a college account login page on it, and called Green over.

Green also saw the login page. After hesitating for a moment, he tried to enter an account and password, and soon he successfully logged in.

The owner of this account is shown to be Liang Chu.

"My teacher's account. He has been here."

After logging into his account and gaining access to the touch screen, Levi found a floor plan of the entire cellar.

They are now in an edge laboratory at the southernmost end of the cellar, which is a separately isolated experimental area.

After leaving this laboratory, you have to walk about one thousand meters along the complex corridor to reach the storage area marked as "cold storage."

Levi took a picture of the map with his communicator, then turned around and took Green and Zhu Long to the other end of the laboratory, towards the door leading to the corridor.

They pushed open the door and saw that the cellar corridor was spacious, with soft lights on the ceiling and even some green plants on both sides as decoration.

Levi carefully confirmed first that these plants were not abnormal plants specially cultivated by biologists, and then they walked carefully in the corridor.

Following the instructions on the map, they walked forward in this chaotic, maze-like corridor for less than 5 minutes when they heard footsteps coming from afar.

“It’s going to be busy soon.”

"Fortunately, although I'm busy, the subsidy from the college is still quite a lot."

"When this period is over, have you planned where to go with your wife?"

"Go to Violet in the West District."

“It’s a tourist destination, really enviable.”

The moment he heard the sound, Levi quickly tried to open the door closest to him, but the door was obviously locked!

He quickly came to his senses, pulled Zhu Long, who was eager to try and seemed ready to take action, to his side, and signaled to him to remove the lock on the door.

Zhu Long's movements were very quick. He put his hand on the lock, and the next second, the metal lock inside was dissolved and turned into a ball of black powder that fell to the ground.

After the lock was broken, Levi pushed the door open as quickly as possible, and the three of them hid in this dark, warm, and fishy room together!

It was not until the footsteps and conversations outside gradually faded away that Levi felt like something was watching him from behind, and he turned around suddenly!

Those were a pair of huge eyes, which were obviously very eye-catching in the darkness!

Green and Zhu Long also turned around at the same time, and three pairs of eyes met the huge eyes.

There was no roar, no gasp, everything was very quiet, as if the room only housed these two eyes and nothing else.

But the next second, those big eyes obviously blinked at Levi and the others.

The three of them didn't say a word, nor did they dare to make any movement. They just looked at each other in the dark, and then Levi had to take action and slowly open the door again.

When the light from outside the corridor shone into the dark room through the crack in the door, Levi and the other two walked out of the room as quickly as possible. At this time, they caught a glimpse of the owner of those big eyes!

It was a huge animal that looked like a tiger, but it had no nose or mouth on its face, only a pair of huge eyes!

Only after the door was closed again did Zhu Long and Gelinping dare to breathe easily.

"I've seen the information about this thing. It's one of the most dazzling achievements in the history of biological research in the academy. It's the Mouthless Beast, a strange animal that was once bred by a biological genius. It has no mouth and can't make any sound, but it can eat all living things through the opening in its stomach."

Green's forehead was visibly sweaty.

"This thing is very scary. It combines the characteristics of many creatures. After it was created, it served as the guardian beast of the royal family for a period of time. But later it was discovered that it had a huge flaw. Once it saw blood, its mental state would become unstable and it would most likely go crazy. The records say that it was all destroyed."
