extinguished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only the piercing sound of alarms comes faintly through the thick alloy walls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is the biochemical lab hidden within the 87th floor of the Noah Building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet now, it has become a slaughterhouse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ultra-clean workstations have been violently overturned; some precise equipment and instruments have either dented casings or broken screens.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Numerous shards of petri dishes and test tubes, mingled with twisted metal stands, litter the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air is thick with the rich smell of blood, a pungent ozone scent, and a strange, cloying sweetness of burnt protein.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few bodies in guard uniforms lie in pools of blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their expressions are hideous; their bodies unnaturally twisted, as if they had been attacked by beasts before death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shh shh shh...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A faint scratching sound echoes on the metal floor, especially clear in the darkness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A shadow, snake-like, slithers across the ground, slowly emerging from behind a tipped-over instrument.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No, that is not a snake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It is a dark red tentacle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its surface is covered with mucus and fine barbs, with a suction-cup-like mouth at the tip that constantly opens and closes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It slithers to a dead guard’s side, its tip suddenly plunging into the chest cavity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The body quickly shrivels at a visibly rapid pace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if all the essence of blood and flesh were consumed by this thing within mere seconds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, a second and third similar tentacle emerge from different corners, greedily joining in on the feast of death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They are all directed toward the deeper darkness of the lab.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There is a passage, with an ominous red glow flickering within.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like an entrance to Hell, yet it exudes some deadly allure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As one follows the light source, the scenery grows increasingly bizarre.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The walls, ceiling, and floor here are all covered with layers of flesh-like tissue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Burned cables entwine with sinews, and occasional sparks from short circuits illuminate the surroundings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thick tumors are arranged haphazardly, slightly bulging, emitting a slick \"puff, puff\" sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dark red mucus seeps continuously from the gaps in the tissue, dripping onto the floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The deeper one goes, the more intensive the flesh transformation becomes, almost filling the entire passage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walking within, the ground is sticky and slippery, feeling as though you are inside some giant beast’s intestine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Overhead, the tentacles detect the scent of living beings, raising their tips and making a hissing sound akin to venomous snakes flicking their tongues.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if threatening the visitors, yet also waiting for the chance to devour someone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And those guards stationed on the 87th floor have not entirely vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Twisted, pained human faces are embedded in the fleshy walls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their eyes wide open, mouths agape, frozen in the terror and horror before their deaths.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides these humanoid remnants, there are other bizarre biological tissues.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like wax melted by high heat, they stick to walls, sagging down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the end of the passage is a completely transformed flesh nest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Red light permeates, casting the entire space into an extraordinary eeriness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suspended in the center of the nest is an enormous red eyeball.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The eyeball is as large as a washbasin, covered with a moist membrane, pulsating like a heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each beat causes the entirety of the nest’s flesh to contract and relax in unison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Countless thick blood vessels, like ugly roots, cover the entire sphere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And extend outward radially, deeply embedding into the fleshy walls, closely connected with the surroundings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if, it is the core and sovereign of this entire nest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon sensing the visitor’s arrival, the giant pupil slightly rotates, suddenly staring forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, three figures are treading on the flesh-composed carpet, looking up at this bizarre creation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They are dressed in tightly fitted black clothing, masked, exuding an inexplicable aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tentacles, which were initially baring their fangs and claws, cowered and curled up into lumps, avoiding them like a plague.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even retracting into the flesh wall to clear a path for them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Deep Red Eye is severely damaged, losing too much energy...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of the tall, black-clad individuals begins to speak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice is deep and strong, carrying an air of authority, evidently a middle-aged man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stares unwaveringly at the eyeball, as if evaluating a precious artifact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uncle, did we come too late?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another person next to him speaks, sounding quite young, with a barely concealed hint of disappointment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s fine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The middle-aged man shakes his head, his tone calm:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As long as the basic structure is intact, it can recover slowly over time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How long will that take?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young man seems a bit anxious, muttering softly, \"I knew we should have just barged in earlier and tried.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After the Inner World takes shape, the entrance becomes elusive and hard to find.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The middle-aged man responds upon hearing this, then explains\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Moreover, judging by past experiences, recklessly rushing into an unknown space is too impulsive; the mission might go unfinished, and you might easily get trapped.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s all that Ma Biao’s fault, he really is as dumb as can be!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though agreeing with the middle-aged man, the young man cannot help but complain:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Claiming that the Noah Organization was holding a meeting to destroy the ’Tree of Life’ project data, but it was all just a ruse.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The information being inaccurate is one thing, but exposing one’s identity is another.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Luckily, we still have other eyes watching here and detected the anomaly, otherwise everything would have gone to waste.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hehe, this might actually be a good thing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The middle-aged man laughed instead:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now that the East Capital Branch is heavily damaged, all surveillance in the experimental area has failed. It’s a perfect chance for us to act without taking any blame.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two appeared to have an uncle-nephew relationship, whispering to each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shorter and slimmer man in black next to them suddenly had a mesmerized look in his eyes, making a gulping sound in his throat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, as if pulled by invisible threads, he began to walk step by step toward the red eye, slowly reaching out his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xiao Ming!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The middle-aged man noticed just in time and yelled angrily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This voice exploded like thunder, instantly waking the short and slim man named Xiao Ming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Ming awoke as if from a dream, only to be horrified to find that his right index and middle fingers were undergoing a terrifying transformation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fingertips seemed to be splashed with strong acid, sizzling and smoking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the skin, blood-red tumors quickly swelled and spread around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He let out a scream of terror, quickly withdrawing his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The middle-aged man stepped forward and raised his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pointing his palm at Xiao Ming’s fingers, the air suddenly collapsed, forming a visible micro-energy vortex.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Strands of crimson mist were forcibly drawn out of Xiao Ming’s fingers, quickly sucked into the vortex and disappeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tumors on Xiao Ming’s two fingers subsided rapidly, leaving the fingers shriveled and charred, like twigs scorched by fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It looked unsightly, but at least his life was saved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Second Master, I’m guilty! I shouldn’t have let this evil thing cloud my mind.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Ming fearfully knelt to the ground, cold sweat soaking through his back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This thing is very strange; its strength can bypass the body and directly erode you from the spiritual level, causing you to mutate.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The middle-aged man said solemnly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Without S-Class strength, or with the slightest wavering of will, even a glance could cause mental disarray.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If it weren’t for our Xiao Family’s unique bloodline abilities, you would be like those guards, turned into deformed monsters, becoming a part of it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Xiao Ming glanced at the walls around, distorted faces everywhere, feeling the ground slippery underfoot, his stomach churning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Deep Red Eye is indeed destined with the Xiao Family!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young man, however, wasn’t terrified but thrilled, his eyes filled with excitement:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If we obtain this treasure, in a few more years, I might also advance to S-Class.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The middle-aged man smiled faintly and then said gravely:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s act. Once the Noah Organization regains its senses, we won’t have the chance. Moreover...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He listened intently, the sound of sirens from outside the building growing increasingly close.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Special Search Team will likely arrive soon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young man rubbed his hands impatiently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, Second Master!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The short and slim Xiao Ming immediately perked up and got up from the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three quickly dispersed, each standing in a position, surrounding the Deep Red Eye at the center.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They simultaneously raised their hands, fingers flying, forming complex and mysterious seals, chanting under their breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The arcane spell echoed within the flesh and blood nest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The surrounding air seemed to become thicker, beginning to hum and buzz.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire bloody space rippled visibly in layers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three thin beams of white light shot out from the foreheads of the middle-aged man, the young man, and Xiao Ming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like three pliable spider threads, they connected the three individuals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, in the air, they converged above the Deep Red Eye, linking together to form a mystical triangular rune.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They seemed to be preparing to activate an Array or summon something\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few seconds later, the space there began to tear, bursting forth with a blinding white light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, the three quickened their sealing gestures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The middle-aged man appeared calm and unperturbed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young man and Xiao Ming, however, were already drenched in sweat, clearly maintaining this Array was consuming for them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, a space rift emitting white light floated quietly in midair like a door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Halos rippled lightly like water waves, with a faint buzzing energy sound coming from within.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young man and Xiao Ming, upon seeing this, simultaneously breathed a sigh of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The middle-aged man released his seals, just about to step forward to personally retrieve the massive eyeball.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, a sound of footsteps came from the entrance of the passage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three immediately turned their heads to look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They saw a figure stumbling in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The newcomer’s suit was already in tatters, hair disheveled, face covered in dirty blood and dust.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking as disheveled as a beggar just emerging from a trash heap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this uninvited guest, the middle-aged man raised an eyebrow, carefully scrutinizing before speaking in surprise:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Minister Luo?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Lie was slightly stunned, looking warily at the three strangly dressed men in front of him:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who are you?
