Chapter 606: The Mysterious Boy, Tian Shu (2)

As long as this step was successful, Star City’s weak race alliance’s intelligence network would be controlled by him.

After agreeing on a time to meet and talk to the higher-ups of the weak race alliance, Feng Qi made a trip to the Tiger Soul Research Institute.

To ensure compliance among the higher-ups of the weaker race alliance, offering benefits was a crucial negotiating strategy.

It was difficult for him to buy spiritual materials with the cash he had. If he used the cash to bribe the higher-ups, they might choose to fight to the death.

After all, they were outlaws. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have infiltrated Star City without absolute strength.

Now that the hit was over, he needed to give them something sweet.

Back then, the owner of the fog had chosen to use a portion of the Tiger Soul Research Institute’s resources to bribe them. Therefore, he needed to seek the Tiger Soul Research Institute’s help.

For the Scarlet Research Institute, the resources in the underground warehouse were scarce for 1,500 years, so he opted not to go through the trouble.

When he arrived at the Tiger Soul Research Institute, he explained the situation to the higher-ups. As he wished, he received the assurance of the higher-ups who expressed their full support.

After receiving the assurance, Feng Qi also expressed that he wanted to go to the underground prison of the Tiger Soul Research Institute sub-base to see Tian Shu.

This request was quickly fulfilled.

With the help of the current director of the Tiger Soul Research Institute, he obtained the highest authority.

Before leaving the Tiger Soul Research Institute, the current director had repeatedly reminded him that Tian Shu was extremely dangerous and often in an uncontrollable mental state. Feng Qi must not unlock the special prison for him, or his life might be in danger.

Feng Qi understood.

Tian Shu’s strength was evaluated in the Tiger Soul Research Institute’s description as Extremely Terrifying. He had strength that could not be detected by existing instruments. His exact background was even more mysterious.

He was a human who had been imprisoned in the dungeon since the early days of the Tiger Soul Research Institute.

He lived for more than 400 years.

The current director of the Tiger Soul Research Institute did not know how strong he was. He only knew that Tian Shu came to the Tiger Soul Research Institute voluntarily and chose to imprison himself.

Only the higher-ups of the Tiger Soul Research Institute knew about him. There was no detailed information recorded in the database.

After hearing the director’s explanation, Feng Qi was even more interested in Tian Shu.

But before meeting Tian Shu, he decided to go back to the academy.

With the Blood Source ability, he was not afraid of Tian Shu’s strength.

However, he was afraid that an accident would happen, so he felt that it was better to be careful. He would be safe if he brought Mu Qing along.

After all, no matter how strong Tian Shu was, he could not be stronger than Mu Qing.

All the sense of danger came from the lack of firepower.

Having Mu Qing was akin to both blowing someone up and crushing them to death

8 p.m.

The Tiger Soul Research Institute’s car was parked at the entrance of Star City Academy.

Feng Qi and Mu Qing, who were waiting there, immediately got into the car and drove towards Tiger Soul Research Institute’s sub-base.

Before they left, he applied for leave with Bai Fusheng.

Bai Fusheng was supportive of this leave because he had received a call from the Tiger Soul Research Institute’s director in advance and knew that he was collaborating with the Tiger Soul Research Institute.

An hour’s journey later, the Tiger Soul Research Institute military vehicle drove into the sub-base.

After getting out of the car, the staff member led them into the sub-base and arrived at the entrance of the underground elevator.

At this moment, the staff member halted, signaling that his authority was restricted, and it wasn’t suitable for him to accompany them.

Feng Qi nodded in understanding and entered the elevator with Mu Qing.

When the elevator’s metal door closed, an electronically synthesized voice sounded.

“Identification in progress… Identification confirmed. You hold the highest authority. You may choose any floor at will.”

At this moment, he pressed the button for the 40th floor.

There were a total of 40 floors underground in the Tiger Soul Research Institute sub-base. 30 of them were set as authorization floors. Without the corresponding authority, one could not enter.

These floors generally stored important resources or paper documents. The last floor was where Tian Shu was imprisoned.

“Senior, if he loses control later, I’ll have to rely on you.”

“No problem.” Mu Qing waved her fist confidently and nodded.

The elevator descended very quickly. After a short moment of weightlessness, with a ding, the metal door slowly opened.

What appeared in front of them was a dim corridor.

It could be seen that no one had been here for a long time. The light bulbs in the corridor were old-fashioned and might have a longer lifespan than him.

He guided Mu Qing further into the corridor. Along the way, the lights flickered as if the light bulbs could die at any moment.

The place was dim and damp. The walls on either side were already covered in moss.

After walking for dozens of feet, they turned a corner and saw a special cage.

More than 400 years had passed, but this cage was still refracting a black metallic luster under the corridor light. It was not corroded. It was made of special metal produced by the domain field.

He looked through the railing and saw that it was pitch-black inside.

This surprised Feng Qi.

With his special physique and night vision, he could see even in the night.

Nevertheless, the special cage appeared to devour light, rendering his vision incapable of capturing the scene in the darkness.

As if sensing their arrival, there was a commotion in the cage.

The sound of chains grinding against the ground could be heard.

Looking around, Feng Qi came to the rusty switch and pressed it.

Pa!

With the sound of a circuit connection, the light bulb above the cage flickered and lit up.

Inside the cage, a disheveled man came into view. His face was pale, bearing a black mark on his forehead. Tangled, long black hair framed his unkempt appearance, and his slender figure suggested he hadn’t eaten in a long while.

The lights lit up, causing him to squint for a moment. Then, he turned to look at them.

Their gazes met. The thin man’s expression was cold and he did not speak.

Looking at the man in the cage, Feng Qi felt that he had seen him somewhere before.

However, he was certain that he had never interacted with him. This was the first time they had met.

As he was thinking, the face of a little boy suddenly appeared in his mind.

He remembered where he had seen him before.

It was not in another timeline but in the future dream.

More accurately, he had seen the boy in Mu Yao’s memory fragments.

At that time, he was still young, but the shape and position of the mark on his forehead were the same as the man in front of him.

He was also one of the miracles that Mu Yao had found.

In the memory, Mu Yao found the mysterious little boy and chose to deceive him.

The little boy ate the entire time and ignored Mu Yao.

In the face of the little boy’s indifference, Mu Yao expressed that the little boy tacitly agreed to contribute the rest of his life to the rise of humanity.

The scene was cut off at that moment.

As for the mysterious little boy’s subsequent development, Feng Qi did not know.

He did not expect that the mysterious little boy in his memory would imprison himself in the underground laboratory of the Tiger Soul Research Institute’s sub-base.

He was very puzzled about what had happened.

But at least one thing was certain. Since he was the “miracle” chosen by Mu Yao, it proved that he was on the side of humans.

Mu Yao, Ye Huang, the first director of the Scarlet Research Institute, Mu Qing… These outstanding people who affected the development of human history all proved that Mu Yao had excellent taste.

She was like a second time traveler who could accurately find those figures who affected history.

It could be argued that Mu Yao’s appearance marked a turning point in history, making them a trendsetter.

“Tian Shu?”

Looking at the thin man in the prison, he asked.

The sound of dragging chains resonated through the air. The man called Tian Shu rose slowly. His emaciated body seemed like mere skin and bones as if his skeletal frame might pierce through his skin at any moment.

Tian Shu, who stood up, did not answer. He looked at Mu Qing, who was standing beside him.

As their gazes met, the scarlet glint in Mu Qing’s eyes flickered as if she had met her destined opponent.

As Mu Qing’s aura rose steadily, a faint purple mist appeared in Tian Shu’s eyes, and his aura changed.

Roar!

At this moment, a blurry shadow suddenly appeared above Mu Qing’s head and let out a roar at Tian Shu, before dissipating.

However, the terrifying pressure produced in an instant made Tian Shu take a few steps back. A surprised expression appeared on his indifferent face.

“Scarlet Origin?”

Hearing this, Feng Qi was surprised.

He could tell that Tian Shu seemed to have some understanding of the scarlet rune crystal on Mu Qing.

Thinking of this, he immediately asked.

“Tian Shu, can we talk?”

Faced with the question, Tian Shu turned to look at him. After a short silence, he ignored him and looked at Mu Qing again with surprise in his eyes.

Feng Qi realized that he was ignored. Tian Shu didn’t seem to want to talk to him at all..
