To be honest, watching it made me feel uncomfortable all over, but not watching it made me feel uncomfortable all day.
[Indeed, the ghost stories haven't been tense lately, they've been too bland every day. We need the muscular guy to step in; I love this kind of thing!]
Seemingly sensing something, Boss Xu, who had already been struggling to breathe, suddenly began to struggle again, as if he knew something was about to come.
Niu Jieshi laughed heartily at this and immediately changed his posture.
"One of the Seventy-Two Unique Skills of the Niu Family - The Seven-Day Lock of Love Stronger Than Gold!"
In an instant, Xu Laoda was locked in a very complicated locking technique by Niu Jieshi, rendering him completely immobile.
Then, under Jiang Xiao's dumbfounded gaze, Xu Laoda's soulless expression, and countless gasps and vomiting sounds in the live broadcast room.
Niu Jieshi put on a show of an extra-large cup of yang nectar.
Hey ~
Looking at the motionless Xu Laoda, Jiang Xiao sighed and made a throat-slitting gesture towards Niu Jieshi.
Xu Laoda, one of the highest-ranking figures in this quarantine zone, has finally come to the end of his life.
"Let's go out and take a look. There must have been other strange creatures captured here before."
Jiang Xiao made the suggestion, and Niu Jieshi wiped the blood off his hands and nodded.
Since the other party knows that they can capture the supernatural and use the energy in their bodies as a driving force, they must have captured other supernatural beings before.
Jiang Xiao was somewhat worried; had Bai Liu also met with misfortune?
Although Bai Liu was an invincible enigma in Jiang Xiao's mind, the difficulty lay in the project within this base.
It's practically the bane of the supernatural!
Although there is a mechanism that is easy to dodge, it is still easy to fall for the eerie attack if you are not prepared.
That's right.
That seemingly invincible little blue box has a fatal flaw.
That is, the substance inside must be inhaled into one's body through the mouth and nose by the strange creature before it can take effect.
This is why they would sneak around and carry out their dirty work at night.
Let alone Bai Liu, even Shi Shi could easily go seven or eight hours without breathing.
In the meantime, Bai Liu could have slaughtered this base hundreds or thousands of times over.
Jiang Xiao kicked Xu Laoda's corpse into the boiling steel barrel inside the room, and then led Shi Shi out of the room first.
However, before he could go looking for other strange things, two uninvited guests appeared outside the room at some unknown time.
An elderly man wearing a white coat, who looked like a doctor.
Another one had a square face, but was missing an arm, and his abdomen was wrapped in gauze, from which blood was still seeping out, indicating that he was still recovering from a serious injury.
Before Jiang Xiao could speak, the two took the initiative to reveal their identities.
This indicates that, in terms of status, they are the same as Boss Xu.
In other words, these three people are the most powerful people in this quarantine zone.
Jiang Xiao raised an eyebrow and said to the two of them with a hint of disdain.
"What? One of you is an old man in his seventies or eighties who's about to be buried, and the other is a disabled person, and you both want to avenge Boss Xu?"
"No, no, no, that's not what we meant."
The two immediately waved their hands, indicating that they were not avenging Boss Xu, and at the same time said righteously that people like Boss Xu should have died long ago!
We strongly demand that we sever all ties with a beast like Xu Laoda!
"You've misunderstood. We won't avenge Boss Xu."
The elderly man in the white coat hurriedly explained, his voice trembling slightly, clearly frightened by the situation before him.
"Yes, someone like Boss Xu was bound to have this day sooner or later. We just want to talk to you."
Although the square-faced man only had one arm, his tone was surprisingly firm.
Jiang Xiao looked puzzled. Were these two just pretending to be high-minded?
Don't they know that their lives are also hanging in his hands?
The top three under the same roof, if you two have a problem with Boss Xu, would you let him have absolute power here?
"Talk? What's there to talk about?"
Jiang Xiao sneered, his gaze sweeping over the two of them like a sharp blade.
Chapter 603 Kyoto Mysterious Research Institute
“We are definitely not on the same side as Boss Xu. I am a senior professor at this hospital, specializing in the research of rare diseases. As for Boss Xu, I had no contact with him at all last month.”
The square-faced man had a serious expression, and his eyes revealed an undeniable authority.
“I am the head of the Kyoto Institute of Strange Phenomena. My job is to investigate and study all supernatural phenomena. As for Boss Xu, he does have a certain influence in Kyoto, but our work is different from his scope of activities.”
Moreover, the two admitted that they had long harbored resentment towards Boss Xu.
Hearing these explanations, Jiang Xiao's doubts gradually dissipated, but he still remained wary.
He knew that in this complex world, the information on the surface was often just the tip of the iceberg.
"Heh, since you've long harbored resentment towards him, why didn't you stop him when he did something so beastly? Why are you jumping out now?"
Well...
The two exchanged a glance, seemingly somewhat helpless, before the old man finally spoke first to explain.
A hint of helplessness flashed in the old man's eyes as he sighed softly.
"I am just an old professor in the medical field. Although the medical staff in the hospital respect me very much, my influence is limited to that."
"But Boss Xu's methods far surpass mine. He has firearms and a group of fearless henchmen. How can an old man like me, who can't even kill a chicken, stop him?"
Upon hearing this, the square-faced man's expression became even more complicated.
His cheeks were slightly flushed, clearly as he suppressed his anger and shame.
He gritted his teeth and said in a hoarse voice.
"That bastard Boss Xu drugged me under the cover of night. I was caught off guard and fell for it. When I woke up, I found that he had cut off one of my arms."
Jiang Xiao frowned as he listened to their words.
He could sense the helplessness and anger in their words, which made his impression of Boss Xu even worse.
At the same time, I began to believe what the two people said to some extent.
The square-faced man continued.
"Moreover, I was carrying several important projects from the research institute, and they were all taken away by Boss Xu. This is not only a personal loss for me, but also a huge threat to national security."
Jiang Xiao squinted. "So, what the square-faced guy means is that all of Boss Xu's projects were stolen from this square-faced guy?"
Seeing Jiang Xiao staring at him, the square-faced man thought he didn't believe him, so he immediately lifted up his clothes.
There was a deep wound on it, deep enough to expose the bone.
The square-faced man gritted his teeth in pain, a hint of determination flashing in his eyes, mixed with helplessness and anger.
“I did try to resist, but Boss Xu had a lot of men under his command. Every time I made a move, I would be surrounded and beaten. After losing the project, I was even more powerless and had almost no power to fight back.”
His voice was low and deep, each word seemingly carrying a heavy pain.
Those deep, bone-revealing wounds were like the marks of his failed resistance, causing him to wince in pain with every movement.
Seeing this, the old professor quickly stepped forward to support the square-faced man, his eyes full of sympathy and understanding.
“I can attest that what he said is true. This group leader of the bizarre research institute did indeed try to stop Boss Xu’s atrocities on multiple occasions. Their conflict is well-known within our institute.”
The old professor's words revealed a sense of powerlessness, but also an undeniable sincerity.
He looked at Jiang Xiao, hoping to see understanding and trust in his eyes.
No, no, no, no.
"Since Boss Xu's project was stolen from you, then the box that can knock out the supernatural and the suction cup that can absorb supernatural power, were they yours before?"
As soon as Jiang Xiao finished speaking, a look of surprise flashed across the square-faced man's eyes, which then turned serious.
"Yes, those are all the results of our research institute, especially the bewitching boxes, which are an important tool we use to control and study unstable and strange phenomena."
"The suction cup that absorbs strange power is our latest experimental product, designed to extract energy from strange phenomena for our research and industrial energy use."
Niu Jieshi's face twitched.
The function of that little box is very peculiar; if I'm careless, I could really fall for it again.
As for this suction cup
This fully demonstrates human wisdom and technology, as they have actually developed a tool that can extract energy from strange bodies.
However, the square-faced man continued, saying that these suction cups are extremely expensive to manufacture, essentially costing money to produce, so there are very few of them even nationwide, and most of them are in Kyoto.
That’s it~
