Chapter 261: The Identity of the Lord of the Aurora

Chen Ling blankly walked back again, extremely like the constrained appearance of a university student having just graduated and entered a work unit, his eyes clear and foolish.

As the distance between him and Han Meng got closer and closer, the latter stretched out his hand, patting Chen Ling's shoulder expressionlessly.

"Chen Xin, I think highly of you."

"..." Chen Ling blinked his eyes.

"[Asura] is a Path with a lot of potential. I believe your future achievements will not stop at this..."

"But Vice Captain, I have already been trapped at the First-Tier for three years."

"...A latent dragon in the abyss, accumulating thickly and erupting thinly. " Han Meng held it in for a long time, before saying these words.

"What exactly do you want to say?"

"I plan to properly cultivate you. You follow me for a period of time first, I will teach you how to develop your own potential, and after returning to headquarters I'll help recommend you a bit... what do you think?"

"Of course."

"Thank you Vice Captain!"

"It's nothing. However you should have also seen it, Captain Qiong Xuan has the intention of targeting me, so if you report everything to him, it's very easy to give him a handle..."

"Vice Captain, you have the grace of recognizing my worth. I will definitely stand on your side!" Chen Ling answered firmly.

Seeing the color of excitement in Chen Ling's eyes, Han Meng nodded slightly, knowing this matter was considered to have been fooled past. He turned around and then walked towards the third floor.

Chen Ling followed closely behind him without the slightest hesitation.

"Why did you follow over?" Han Meng was stunned.

"Didn't you say, you wanted me to follow you first?"

"..." Han Meng was just about to speak, when he heard footsteps transmitting from not far away again. He simply didn't waste time anymore, walking straight towards the depths of the channel. "Forget it... then follow me well. Today's matter cannot be told to anyone, understand?"

"Understood!"

A touch of faint smiling intent hooked up in Chen Ling's heart.

He wanted to go to the third floor even more than Han Meng did, but he was unable to pass through this Ritual Artifact checkpoint. If according to the original plan he should wait for Jian Changsheng to coordinate with him from the inside and outside, but now the variable Han Meng appeared, then there was an additional possibility, which was following Han Meng to go in together... He bit down hard on Han Meng's psychology of being unwilling to let others know he had gone to the third floor, constantly delaying time, holding the mentality of giving it a try. He didn't expect that in the end he actually successfully snuck in, it could be considered an unexpected pleasant surprise.

As they passed through the channel, the third floor of the Aurora Base appeared before the two's eyes. Although the White Coat Wearers coming and going saw them and were somewhat astonished, after seeing the Vice Captain logo on Han Meng's chest, they again withdrew their gazes continuing to busy themselves with their own matters.

The black Enforcer windbreakers traversed through the corridor. Han Meng's peripheral vision swept onto the doors on the two sides, seeing the experimental subjects inside through the Glass, his pupils shrinking slightly.

His expression became ugly visible to the naked eye.

And this scene was also taken into Chen Ling's eyes... Before Chen Ling came, he already knew the Aurora Base was conducting Human Experimentation, so he was not astonished. But looking at Han Meng's expression, he seemed to be completely unaware of this.

Could it be him entering the base, was precisely to investigate this?

Just at this time, the main door of a laboratory was pushed open. A few figures wearing White Coat Wearers pushing a sickbed, walked out from inside.

"I feel the dosage this time is somewhat too much."

"Just the first experiment, and it produced such a severe reaction, this kind of situation I'm also encountering for the first time."

"That is a full double amount... Moreover his body intrinsically had those Curse Runes, adding these together, the actual content in his body has already exceeded the warning line!"

"Indeed, according to this content, he would even irreversibly transform towards a Calamity, thoroughly running out of control."

"Fortunately the life signs ultimately still stabilized..."

"His situation is too thorny, better let Dr. Yi take over."

As they pushed the sickbed, they earnestly communicated, fundamentally not paying attention to the two people Han Meng and Chen Ling passing by on the side. And as the two's gazes fell onto the sickbed, their minds and spirits all trembled from it.

They only saw the originally snow-white bedsheets had already been dyed pitch-black. A figure completely wrapped by mysterious Curse Runes was currently lying on top of it just like a corpse. His entire body was swollen as if soaked in water, unable to see his original appearance clearly. Adding on that constantly squirming mysterious black liquid behind his back, sometimes turning into Seaweed, sometimes turning into tentacles, sometimes turning into an eyeball with three pupils, it made the people looking feel their scalps go numb.

It was merely a hurried glance, before the White Coat Wearers then pushed this sickbed far away, only leaving Han Meng and Chen Ling staring blankly looking at the direction that monster left towards, for a time even stopping their footsteps.

Even for Chen Ling, it was also his first time seeing such an eerie thing... or rather to say, person?

"Vice Captain..." Chen Ling couldn't resist speaking. "The Aurora Base, what is it doing here?"

Han Meng did not answer. Beneath the sleeve hems of the Enforcer windbreaker, his two hands tightly clenched up, the flames of fury burning ragingly in his heart.

A streak of cold glint flashed in his eyes. He straightaway took strides walking towards those few figures wearing White Coat Wearers. Just as he was preparing to stop them to ask, a loud alcohol burp rang out from the corridor at the side.

"Burp... isn't this Vice Captain Han Meng? What are you doing here?"

Han Meng turned his head to look over, only to see Dr. Yi currently carrying a liquor bottle, looking over here drunkenly, his brows unconsciously raising.

"Dr. Yi." Han Meng spoke coldly. "You better give me an explanation."

"Explanation? Explain what?"

"These experiments."

"Oh~ you're talking about these." Dr. Yi smiled. He walked forward, that face full of stubble almost pasted onto Han Meng's face, staring fixedly at Han Meng's eyes. "What? Are you angry?"

"You guys are actually secretly conducting Fusion experiments between humans and Calamities. What's the difference between this and the Integration Faction wanted by the Nine Great Realms?"

"Difference? Of course there is." Dr. Yi spread his hands. "The Integration Faction's objective is to let humans and Calamities fuse and coexist, adapting to the living environment of the Gray World through racial evolution... this is a crooked path that will cause human genes to thoroughly dilute and collapse, leading to racial extinction. While we conduct experiments, it is only to protect the Aurora Domain."

"Conduct these experiments, to protect the Aurora Domain?" Han Meng fundamentally didn't believe his bullshit. A touch of killing intent emanated in his eyes. "You tell me, what does the Aurora Domain have to do with Calamity Fusion??"

"Do you not know?"

Dr. Yi lifted the white liquor bottle in his hand, fiercely pouring a mouthful into his own mouth. Subsequently carrying a thick alcoholic scent he slowly spoke, his tone full of self-mockery and sarcasm:

"The Lord of the Aurora who created the entire Aurora Domain... is precisely the Fusionist in your mouth that everyone shouts and beats."

The moment the voice fell, Han Meng and Chen Ling were simultaneously stunned on the spot.
