"Wondering why those freaks can be controlled."

"You have to ask Butler Black Goat... I can't tell you this." An Ling patted her best friend's clumsy head angrily, "Don't worry about it. Butler Black Goat should be the one to worry about."

"Oh." Nanasha leaned on her shoulder and closed her eyes.

"I still have to find the followers of those black goats. It's exhausting."

Apart from taking the risk of dragging her best friend into the mess out of selfish motives, she was, after all, serving the Madam and had to find the second threatening Black Goat Butler for the family.

She muttered to herself, "There are two Black Goat Deacons who will cause trouble at the finish line. Besides Wang Feng, who will the other one be?"

Nanasha just chuckled.

Chapter 272 002 Base ()

In the deepest part of Siberia, a building as blurry as a mirage is looming in the blizzard. It has no walls, and two flat-roofed high-rise buildings are connected like twins leaning against each other. The twin buildings are grayish white and blend perfectly into the surrounding tundra.

No one knows when Base 002 was established, nor what kind of activities are carried out inside, but this code name shocked even the Supreme Council of the Federal Government. This base is hidden too deep, waking up in the long winter and falling asleep in the warmest moment. The first batch of people who knew about it died one after another, and it is about to be completely forgotten.

The months-long polar night has passed, and it is time for Base 002 to hibernate.

Before falling asleep, the wise men will carry out one last grand event, which happens every year without exception.

It's too late this year, the researcher thought as he stood in the snow and peed on the moss.

He rolled up his work clothes and shook his waist to completely release his bladder, then lifted his belt and smelled a faint odor.

"My new work clothes!" The researcher wiped the wet stains off his clothes with pain and regret on his face.

He turned around and observed the only gap in the power grid - the snowy field, and became alert.

Someone is coming, a figure slowly appears, like a traveler.

The only people who could come to Base 002 at this time were "guests". The researcher ran back to the yard without a second thought, crossed the courtyard and the dormitory building, ran into the twin buildings, and bumped into the oncoming woman.

"Reckless."

The woman looked him up and down, "What's the matter, Pallu."

"They are coming... they are finally here!"

……

The team abandoned their means of transportation before arriving because one of the routes was underground.

They finally arrived at Base 002 in the midst of a snowstorm. Except for a few people with obvious ulterior motives in their eyes, the rest of the people remained silent.

Before my eyes, several people walked out of the front yard. They were probably doctors or researchers at the base. The woman in the lead had long, brilliant platinum hair. Even wearing a loose white research suit, she couldn't hide the beautiful curves of her body.

Seems to be the one in charge.

As she was watching, Anya took the initiative to speak:

"No need to look at it. Something happened to that train, and we are the only ones who made it here alive."

She signaled the maids to throw Milo out and gave a brief explanation, showing no fear or respect for the new people.

Milo had already fainted and wouldn't wake up for a while.

The reason why Milo was not killed was because he was acting from the beginning.

He had to make this group of aliens and the people at Base 002 believe that he and Milo were not on the same side and were not on the same side in public.

"Welcome everyone, please follow me in." The woman spoke fluent English with a cold attitude.

She turned around and was about to leave. She was not as enthusiastic as everyone imagined. Instead, she seemed lazy and did not even confirm the identity of the guest.

The main theme is casual.

This laziness and casualness made them very uncomfortable after traveling thousands of miles. After going through so much hardship and walking in blizzards for several days, they finally arrived, but the other party's attitude was so natural.

There were no greetings, no admiration, no long expressions of emotion, not even a confirmation of identity.

Someone was the first to step forward and introduce herself impatiently, thinking that she was the person in charge and wanted to leave an impression in advance.

"I'm Geoffrey, I know you guys."

"I know, the Red Hound from District 2."

The woman glanced back at her, looking indifferent, and responded calmly:

"That's it."

Giovanni was stunned and gnashed her teeth in anger.

But this is Xinmin’s base camp after all, and even if she is an SS-level alien, it is not easy for her to act recklessly.

Others also realized that it was difficult to get privileges here even at SS level, so they chose to wait and see.

Anya also observed the woman who was suspected to be the person in charge, and her instinctive alertness told her that the other party's identity would be very deep.

She knew the woman had recognized her, but she still followed her.

Several researchers carried Milo up and walked towards the courtyard. Across the courtyard, through the dormitory, was the twin towers.

After entering the building, everyone stopped in their tracks when they saw a bright scene. This was clearly a hotel, not a base, which confused everyone.

The hall was luxurious and gorgeous, with bright silver-white flower-shaped chandeliers, precious and soft carpets underfoot, and young researchers who also served as waiters dragging wine trays. They were decorating the hall like a comfortable banquet hall.

The other party's intentions were now obvious. The female leader turned around and looked at everyone equally.

"I know you have a lot of questions, but I won't be the one answering them. The 'Evolution Ceremony' will be held in these two days. I'm glad you can come here. Maybe the process is not smooth, but everyone here has a chance anyway."

The woman motioned for the researchers to step back and then turned her gaze to Anya.

"You can move freely in this building. We have arranged rest rooms for you, but I think there are too many rooms. Someone will come here later to answer your questions about this place and the process of the ceremony. Similarly, you have complete autonomy and can withdraw at any time."

"at last."

She said this to Anya, and everyone could hear it.

"I don't want any dangerous elements to affect this year's ceremony."

Anya raised her head and looked at her, "No one would want to see that scene."

As they entered the 002 base, the brief alliance between everyone and Naya ended immediately. They all had their own goals, and even if they were unwilling, they had to complete the ceremony if they wanted to achieve their ultimate goal.

The alliance team was disbanded, and the 002 base confined them in a building, where they were given the freedom to explore before the so-called ceremony.

So far, there has been no sign of Xinmin. The lazy blonde woman mentioned the general manager, and the real person behind the scenes is hiding in the dark and watching.

The so-called base could not be just a twin tower and a few dormitories, and everyone knew it.

Xinmin was still unsure about them and did not expose the laboratory.

And those laboratories are exactly what they care about. As for the rituals... they are not stupid cultists.

"Come with me." The woman looked at Anya calmly.

Anya looked to her sister for advice, but An Xin just nodded slightly.

The woman took her to the basement, which was the person in charge's own room. The basement was warm as the wind, and the TV was playing a short play with federal Mandarin subtitles. She still had an indifferent face and poured two glasses of Bordeaux skillfully.

Anya took the glass of wine and realized that this was an extremely subtle hint.)

The woman raised her glass nonchalantly. "That person next to you is your sister, the fascinating and terrifying Ms. Naya."

She deliberately added the word "Mr." at the end, whether it was accidental or intentional, I don't know.

"I didn't expect your An family to sneak in."

"You know my identity but you still choose to talk to me alone. Are you planning to accuse me?" Anya pretended not to care.

She put down her glass, her eyes revealing undisguised desire: "If you think you know me well, you should also know what kind of person I am."

"I know, I know. If someone knows you and you don't know that person, then this relationship can only exist between hunter and prey." The white-haired woman answered very naturally, and it was obvious that this laziness treated Naya equally.

"Katrina is my first name, my last name is Tananya, and as you can see, I am the Canary."

"Are you in charge?"

"Just one of the responsible persons." Another short and lazy answer, as if saying a few more words would cost her life.

"Base 002 is not what I imagined." Anya looked outside and saw a passage in the basement leading to other places.

The woman suddenly fell silent for a few seconds, staring at her with interest.

Anya couldn't help but touch her face, "Is there something on my face?"

"It just feels terrible. I was the one asking you the question, but now you're the one asking me the question."

Chapter 273 002 Base ()

"Sorry, I'm just used to interrogations."

Anya couldn't guess the woman's ways. As one of the persons in charge of the 002 base, she acted indifferent to everything. There were obviously fewer passengers arriving this year, and the An family showed up, but she didn't take any measures. Instead, she invited herself to drink.

It corresponds to what I said to Giovanni in front of the courtyard: Let it be.

Anya played with her wine glass nonchalantly, and looked at Katrina with interest. She couldn't tell the identity of this blonde woman, who claimed to be from the Tananiya family, and there was no other way to prove it except for her iconic dazzling platinum hair.

She was obviously young, but she was as lazy as an old woman, and the depths of her eyes were an emotionless iron-gray.

Gazing at this woman's face, one would have the impression that she had a temperament that was no less indifferent than that of a person who was world-weary and indifferent to everything.

"Since you recognized us from the beginning, why did you let us in? Aren't you afraid of inviting a wolf into the house?"

Katrina lowered her head to lick the wine, her eyes rolling. "It's too derogatory to describe you as wolves. You are giant beasts that can cover the sky."

"Well, behemoth," Anya said, trying to get into her lazy mind.

"I think you must be curious, for example, why I didn't take any action against the An family's appearance." Katrina said, "and why I didn't try to investigate what happened on the train. It's as if everything is taken for granted, and your presence here is also taken for granted."

Anya nodded. This was the most obvious feeling of disharmony she had felt since arriving at Base 002.

There was no thrill as imagined, no investigation of identity, and a feeling of being unappreciated. The 002 base was lazy from top to bottom, and even their placement was rather perfunctory.

It was as if everyone had found a hotel to rest in the depths of Siberia. When the hotel owner saw the guests, she simply said, "Okay, please come in and have a rest." Then they were confusedly arranged into the lounge and left alone.

The female boss just responded casually with a few words and left. Before leaving, she called Anya into the basement to have a casual chat.

This is what has been going on for the past few hours.

As she said, everything was taken for granted, but the information gap made everyone feel uneasy.

The Xinmin, who has not yet appeared, is hiding behind the scenes. The Xinmin knows everything about them, but they know nothing.

If you want to get information about the 002 base, you must collect it in the building where you can move freely.

as……

The feeling of a game.

Everyone was locked in the building, and the unknown emptiness made them run around like headless flies.

Even if you come to an unfamiliar banquet, the host or person in charge of the banquet will at least stand in front and give a speech, at least to let the guests know why they are here, what activities will be held later, when will the dance start, when will the meal start, who will come...

Now it feels like a party without a host. When you enter the party, only a chef appears from the kitchen, tells the guests that the food will be served soon and to take a good rest first, and then leaves.

The guests were confused. Were they here to eat? They were here to attend an event. No one told them the schedule, and many of them didn’t even know where they were.

Anya felt that she understood, and Katrina said slowly: "As you can see, this is our usual method."

"It's the same every year. A few days before the passengers arrive, we will use 'information decadence' to lock them in the building. During these days, no one will have the opportunity to contact the 002 base, causing them to gradually question and feel empty. It's like a group of bugs trapped in a transparent bottle, and we are observing from the outside."

"Let them consume each other's strength?"

"That's right, it's worthy of An Ran...An Ya." Katrina had a blank expression on her face, and she remained calm even though she let the cat out of the bag.

"You can quickly connect to this level. As expected, there are always some people who sneak in every year. They have other ideas. Joining the new citizen acceptance ceremony is just a cover. Such people are a great threat to us."

"How to get rid of pests? Leave them alone for a few days and let them starve to death."

"On the contrary, we will take advantage of this and these people with other destinations are the main goal," Katrina said.

"They are only one step away from achieving their goal, so they are not willing to give up. In fact, this is actually like raising a Gu, selecting the most suitable sacrifice, and often these people are the most suitable to be sacrifices, and recognition will bring greater value."

Anya was silent for a moment, then smiled: "But you told me that the An family was also on the list of people raising Gu."

She was making the final confirmation whether the biggest investor behind the 002 base was her own family.

"The general manager didn't know. He only recognized you. No one would have thought that Miss An Xin would show up."

"What's the difference between you knowing and the person in charge knowing?" Anya narrowed her eyes slightly.

"Milo and I are in partnership, and we both want to destroy this place."

Katrina gave an unexpected answer, and her frankness was impeccable. This could explain why this woman always subconsciously answered Anya's questions, even though she was the one asking the questions.
