Chapter 418 - 418: Morbid Beauty
Shen Junqing:
Half an hour later, Shen Junqing emerged in a bathrobe after taking a cold shower and applying the allergy treatment cream. The red rash on his face had lightened somewhat, and he seemed to be in better shape.
Bai Chen clicked his tongue. “I didn’t expect you’d actually use it.”
Shen Junqing glanced coolly at him. “Didn’t you bring it in for me?”
“I just saw you were in so much discomfort, and I didn’t think Chapman would tamper with the ointment, ” Bai Chen replied.
Shen Junqing simply said, “That’s my reason too.”
Both of them tacitly avoided mentioning the earlier awkwardness.
Another two hours passed, and the red rash on Shen Junqing’s body had subsided, and his face had also improved significantly, leaving behind a faint pink layer.
It would probably be completely gone in about half an hour.
The two men had rare serious expressions on their faces.
In front of Bai Chen was a laptop, and Shen Junqing sat beside him, both of them watching the screen together.
Bai Chen’s computer skills were not inferior to Nan Yan’s, which was why she had arranged for him to infiltrate the Seven Deadly Sins.
During the seven days here, he had discovered a lot of things.
Some things were disturbing and could shatter one’s moral compass, erasing their humanity.
However, he couldn’t send this information to Nan Yan just yet.
The network here was closed off, only allowing access to internal networks. If they attempted to communicate with the outside world, he would be exposed immediately.
The fact that they can block his actions indicated that someone within the Seven Deadly Sins was a formidable computer expert, no less skilled than Bai Chen himself.
Fortunately, he was here with Shen Junqing. Otherwise, with anyone else other than Nan Yan herself, he would have been exposed long ago.
It’s not that Shen Junqing lacks the ability; rather, there is a computer expert who can infiltrate the entire base silently and monitor everyone’s every move.
Without him, Shen Junqing would have been exposed today as well.
Shen Junqing couldn’t stand it anymore, so he looked away, his voice cold and sinister, “An organization like this should not exist.”
Now, when he closed his eyes, his mind would be filled with those bloody and sinister images.
In the other labs, experiments were conducted on animals, which were cruel in their own right, but animals couldn’t be compared to humans as the apex of the food chain.
However, within the Seven Deadly Sins, they were using humans as guinea pigs.
The people who were completely naked, connected to various tubes, with vacant eyes and expressionless faces, could be considered the fortunate ones.
At least their bodies were intact.
But those used for genetic hybrids…
Shen Junqing’s complexion became even worse.
He forced himself not to dwell on it.
Thinking further, he felt like he was about to vomit.
“Yanyan is thinking of ways to solve this,” Bai Chen said, unperturbed, as he continued to investigate the core secrets of the Seven Deadly Sins.
Of course, if this had nothing to do with Nan Yan, he wouldn’t bother.
He didn’t have that much empathy, and as long as the Seven Deadly Sins didn’t cross his path, he had no connection with them.
But if it involved Nan Yan, then he couldn’t ignore it.
They could bully anyone else, but they had to target their Yanyan.
That was simply asking for trouble!
Bai Chen’s hands moved quickly as he stored all the information he had found in a chip.
Meanwhile, in a pitch-black room deep underground on the eighteenth floor, the only source of light was the illuminated computer screen.
In the dim light, a pale and handsome face displayed a morbid and sinister expression while staring at the screen.
And on his screen was all the surveillance footage from the entire Seven Deadly Sins base.
All the rooms, every location, densely packed with hundreds of windows, neatly arranged on the screen.
Except for one window, which was black.
That room was where Bai Chen and Shen Junqing were located.
“Interesting… ”
A low, murmuring voice with an eerie tone.
Soft but as if it came from the depths of hell, sending shivers down one’s spine.
The ability to block his surveillance meant that one of these two men was a computer expert.
Let him guess, what would a computer expert come here for?
Could these two little worms be trying to investigate his Seven Deadly Sins…
The man’s gloomy smile deepened, and he tapped the phone screen a few times. Soon, the call was answered.
“My master, what are your orders?”
Chapman’s tone was extremely respectful, and in front of him, he appeared utterly subservient.
The man’s androgynous voice replied, “Without my permission, those two little pests are not allowed to leave.”
Chapman responded, “Yes, my master.”
This meeting had been going on until six o’clock in the afternoon.
The group of executives in the conference room had been driven nearly insane by the high-intensity mental activity.
Fortunately, Qin Lu remembered that he had his girlfriend in his office. After checking the time, he kindly said, “Let’s adjourn.”
The surviving executives took a deep breath and wiped the sweat from their foreheads. They were exhausted and leaned back in their chairs to recuperate.
Qin Lu wasted no time. He tidied up the documents in front of him, picked up his phone, and walked out of the room.
Back in his office, Nan Yan was playing a game.
An Xiran had caught her with some free time and invited her to join a high-ranked match.
In another month, the international selection for the “Path of Legends” competition would begin.
Even though Nan Yan wouldn’t be competing again, she still needed to practice with the team members to improve their combat abilities.
When Qin Lu entered, she was being a diligent sharpening stone, helping the team members enhance their practical combat skills.
He stood quietly next to her, watching her play the game, appreciating his girl from a different perspective.
Nan Yan was very beautiful.
This body might not be as alluring as her original form, but it had its own advantages.
Her cool brows and eyes, when combined with her focused state, emitted a different kind of charm.
His gaze fell on her rosy lips, and Qin Lu’s tongue lightly touched the soft flesh of his cheek, his eyes revealing signals of desire.
So pretty, he wanted to kiss…
Fortunately, Qin Lu was always restrained. After moving his gaze away from her lips, he suppressed his thoughts.
“How much longer?”
Unknowingly, he had been watching her play for half an hour.
Although he wasn’t in a hurry, it was time to eat after they finished this round.
Nan Yan replied, “A few minutes. After we finish this game, we can go eat at Second Master’s courtyard.”
Qin Lu suddenly felt a bit pressured.
Dealing with one Second Master was already challenging enough.
Now that the Master and Second Master were both here, he hoped they’re not planning some kind of trap in the courtyard.
A few minutes later, Nan Yan finished the game.
“Fourth Brother, I’m logging off the game now, you guys can continue.”
An Xiran replied, “Alright.’
After a moment of silence, An Xiran couldn’t contain his curiosity and asked,
“Yanyan, have you found a master?”
He remembered that their grandfather had always wanted her to study art with him.
But his little sister hadn’t agreed.
Now she went to the capital for a while and suddenly has a master.. Which discipline did she choose?
