"I have no objection. To be honest, I really like this guy named Hu Bayi. Even after he got rich, he still thought about his dead comrades and shared most of his money with them. This guy is quite to my taste."
"Then how do we deal with this child named Hu Xiuwu? He is too young."
Huang Boren, who is in charge of the R&D organization, touched his chin:
"Looking at his information, the Shangqing Sect shouldn't give up on such a good candidate with a clean background. Hmm? His whereabouts have been unknown for some time?"
Zhao Fangxu said lightly: "This is Shangqing's family affair, it is not convenient for us to ask."
When Huang Boren heard what Mr. Zhao said, he immediately apologized: "Mr. Zhao is right. I was not thoughtful enough."
Zhao Fangxu said with a smile:
"Nothing, it's all for the good of the company. Since Mr. Huang has doubts about him, let him join the team to find the Zhuchen Pearl and let Liao Zhong observe him."
"Does anyone have any other comments?"
Seeing that all the directors in the meeting room had no objection, Zhao Fangxu instructed the political commissar sitting next to him to record today's events.
And keep it top secret.
······
"What! You want me to be in charge of exploring the tomb of King Xian? Looking for the Zhuchen Pearl."
The person who is on the phone and shouting is the person in charge of the Lunan District and the bunker.
Liao Zhong.
This guy has a leopard head and round eyes, with scars all over his face. His front teeth were replaced with gold teeth just like Big Gold Teeth, but he is even more powerful than Old Jin, as he replaced two of them.
He is tall and strong, definitely over 1.9 meters tall, and looks quite similar to E'Lai.
He is the kind of person who can scare children into tears when walking on the street, and the kind of person who will be closely watched by the train police if he takes a train or a plane.
but,
Although Liao Zhong looks like this, he has a very kind and gentle heart.
"No, Mr. Zhao, Zhalong Mountain is in the southwest. It would be bad for me to destroy Dahao's place."
Liao Zhong said while picking his nose.
"Liao Zhong, I don't have time to argue with you. Tell me what you want."
Zhao Fangxu's voice came from the phone in his hand.
Liao Zhongdu laughed out loud: "Haha, Director Zhao still understands me, Old Liao. This budget issue..."
"...Okay, go talk to the political commissar. If he agrees, I have no objection."
"Okay. And, Mr. Zhao, I have a small request."
"Say!"
Liao Zhong said: "My temporary workers are old. The Tomb of King Xian is in the southwest region. We might have to face some wild Gu Masters. I want to borrow Lao Meng from Hua Feng to help."
"... I will discuss this with Xiaohua and then give you an answer."
"Okay, I'll get to work then."
Liao Zhong hung up the phone and asked his men to find Hu Xiuwu, Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan.
Since the company’s bunker was built in Lunan, the Lunan regional headquarters was also set up in the bunker.
The company's bunker is responsible for conducting research on various supernatural powers and sheltering those who may pose a threat to society.
If the factors that endanger society in the aliens can be resolved, they will be released.
If it can't be solved.
Either be locked up in a bunker for life, or... die.
Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan had already conducted a comprehensive examination here, and they both felt a little uneasy.
Although the bunker did not restrict their freedom too much and did not prohibit them from talking to each other, it just did not allow them to leave the bunker.
But seeing that they were taken to a secret base, it was so formal.
They still felt a little uneasy and didn't know how the company would deal with them.
When they heard that the company's head wanted to meet them, they couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
·····
Liao Zhong sat behind his desk and looked at the three people standing in front of him:
"The company headquarters has decided to deal with your case leniently. After all, you are also victims."
Hu Bayi took the lead and said: "The leader is wise, the leader is wise."
He is not a kid anymore, so what's the harm in saying a few soft words? When he was setting up his stall in Sijiu City, Hu Bayi had seen all kinds of people.
"Your health report is out, and it's not ideal."
Wang Kaixuan trembled and said, "Leader, what happened to us?"
"See for yourselves."
Liao Zhong stood up, walked in front of them, handed them the physical reports of the two people on the table, then leaned on the table with his hands on his chest.
"To put it simply, you inhaled a trace of extremely pure innate Yin Qi in the Jingjue Ancient City."
Liao Zhong explained: "When the Yin energy enters your body, it will stimulate your innate Qi, causing the kidney Qi in your body to grow, and turning you into an extraordinary person."
When Hu Xiuwu heard what he said, he frowned.
Sure enough, Liao Zhong continued:
"But when things reach their extremes, they will turn into their opposites. Only pure Yin Qi is continuously generated in your body, without the support of Shao Yin Qi. Over time, Yin Qi will fill your body..."
Liao Zhong paused here.
Wang Kaixuan said, "Boss Liao, you scared me, what will happen?"
"The negative pole is cold, and when it is extremely cold, it becomes ice, and when it is extremely ice, it becomes stiff!"
Hu Bayi was shocked and said, "We will become zongzi!"
Wang Kaixuan quietly asked Hu Xiuwu: "Xiuwu, is what he said true?"
"real."
Hu Xiuwu pondered over what Liao Zhong said.
Although Liao Zhongchang does not look like a cultured person, what he said does make sense.
Seeing Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan sitting opposite him, they were frightened and turned pale.
Liao Zhongcai continued:
"But there is a solution. As long as you can find the Zhuchen Pearl, your lives can be saved."
"It just so happens that the company also wants the Zhuchen Pearl. As long as you can help find the Zhuchen Pearl, I can make the decision and let you use it to save your life before storing it in the company's safe."
Chapter 38 Departure
Lao Liao fooled Wang Kaixuan and Hu Bayi with his tricks.
If we find the Zhuchen Pearl, we will definitely use them as guinea pigs to collect experimental data.
But he said that this was a last resort to save their lives.
Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan were very grateful to him and actively joined the team to find the Zhuochen Pearl.
Originally, Liao Zhong didn't want Hu Xiuwu to join the team.
Children should be in school and study hard. Adults should take care of these things.
Only when we are old and our children grow up, it will be your turn.
As a result, Chairman Zhao Fangxu insisted on this matter and insisted that Hu Xiuwu go along as well, and asked Liao Zhong to do the observation work.
Liao Zhong was unable to convince Director Zhao, and didn't know why Zhao Fangxu was so persistent.
There was no other choice but Liao Zhong could only add Hu Xiuwu's name to the team list.
Before leaving Liao Zhong's office, Hu Bayi finally couldn't help but said:
"Boss Liao... I want to ask, is Xueli Yang okay?"
Humph! Wang Kaixuan snorted coldly and said nothing.
"You are such a jerk, you are still pretending to be a jerk and saying that you and that foreign girl didn't have an affair."
Liao Zhong hesitated for a moment, and considering that this matter had a lot to do with their situation, he told him:
"That Xueli Yang, she didn't do anything wrong and she's very cooperative. She's receiving treatment in the bunker, but her condition is different from yours."
"She is the descendant of the ancient sage you met in the Jingjue Ancient City. The ancient sage realized the wonders of the ghost cave and wanted to use it to turn all his people into extraordinary people. He also specially imitated the Zhuchen Pearl. Unfortunately, his plan failed."
"The counterfeit Zhuchen Pearl not only failed to draw the innate Yin Qi from the ghost cave, but also caused the ghost cave to continuously absorb a trace of innate Yang Qi from the bodies of his people, not only cutting off the hope of the Zaklama people to become extraordinary people."
"As the Yang Qi gradually disappears, the internal balance of the innate Qi in their bodies will be broken. To put it scientifically, after the balance is broken, the trace elements in their bodies will continue to drain away, and then their bodies will gradually become stiff, and finally they will die in pain."
There was a hint of anxiety in Hu Bayi's tone that he himself did not notice:
"Can the Zhuchen Pearl save her?"
Liao Zhong shook his head: "Her situation is special. We can only know after we find the Zhuchen Pearl."
Listening to Liao Zhong's story, Hu Xiuwu also got the gist of it.
Just as he thought in Gulan County, the Queen of Jingjue in the ancient city of Jingjue was indeed a congenitally extraordinary person who could use her innate supernatural powers to utilize the ghost cave.
After the Queen of Jingjue died suddenly, the people of Jingjue wanted to continue using the ghost cave.
He spared no effort to find the Kunlun Immortal Wood, which could keep people from decaying for thousands of years, for the Queen of Jingjue.
However, they did not do this for the queen's posthumous honor, but wanted to use the body of the Queen of Jingjue as a special converter to continue to work.
She was a queen when she was alive, but after she died she was just a female corpse.
Their plan was very successful. Two thousand years later, after Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan entered the ghost cave, it was still useful.
Let's see what a tool person is! What a professional is!
