"What are you doing? Call me out alone?" Qiao Mianmian leaned against the wall of the corridor, combed her hair, and said with a smile:

"Let's talk first. Although you are indeed handsome, you are not my ideal type. It's better not to confess your feelings to save everyone's embarrassment."

"...Teacher Qiao, it's better not to be so confident." Shen Bai said helplessly, looked around and made sure no one was around before saying:

"Teacher Qiao, let me ask you something...is that Yang Yiyun the Apocalypse?"

"Most likely not. I have an acquaintance in the think tank in Lanhai City. She told me that Yang Yiyun's shadow is just the power given to her by a high-level apocalypse."

"A high-level Apocalypse, level B or above..." Shen Bai thought of Fushui City split into two and frowned:

"Teacher Qiao, I'm very curious. Does the mastermind behind Yang Yiyun want to get so hard just to get the abnormal variant of the Fifth Academy? Who can stop such a powerful person if he comes to rob him? Why does he spend so much effort? …”

"Hey, you really have a lot of questions." Qiao Mianmian replied with a smile:

"But, I can't answer you."

"Because of confidentiality regulations?"

"No, my level is not high enough and I don't understand the whole situation. If you are really curious, just ask the base director."

"Well, is this okay? I, a non-warrior-level night watchman, will ask my immediate superior for such secrets..."

"Have you forgotten your special status? According to the rules of the Academy of Sciences, your authority is very high. Didn't you find that the base commander is particularly patient with you? Don't worry, ask, he will tell you."

…

Three days later, Shen Bai and Li Xiaorui returned to Lanhai City. They separated at the station and agreed to get together in a few days. Shen Bai couldn't hold back his curiosity and went straight to the Blue Rose Hotel.

He told the front desk lady that he wanted to see the base director, and as expected, he did not encounter any obstruction. Su Tong took him directly up to the base director's office on the top floor.

Du Shanfeng was still dressed like the uncle next door. When he saw Shen Bai, he smiled and asked him to sit down:

"Thank you for your hard work. I didn't expect that a small mission would involve such a big thing."

He looked at Shen Bai with a speechless expression:

"Since you joined the Night Watch, there have been three missions, and something went wrong every time. Of course, the missions that girl Qiao Mianmian arranged for you in the first two times were a bit difficult, but this time you were just lurking around, and you actually encountered a big enemy. Something unexpected happened...sigh."

Shen Bai scratched his head:

"My luck is a bit bad... Base Commander, I'm here to ask you some questions."

"It must be about the high-level Apocalypse."

"Yes, such a powerful person ignores federal laws and the lives of innocent people. If he wants contraband from the Fifth Academy, he can just come to Lanhai City to grab or steal it. How can he go around in such a big circle?"

Du Shanfeng smiled, activated the C-level Apocalypse ability [Mechanical Designer], and the office became a shielded room with extremely high technological content.

"Shen Bai, as the owner of [Creation Card·Sunday], you are particularly precious...Don't laugh, the word [precious] is extremely appropriate to describe you. You can imagine yourself as a unique test subject of the Academy of Sciences. .”

"Your invisible status is very high, so some secrets can be opened to you."

Du Shanfeng paused and then said:

"Shen Bai, the contraband transported by the Fifth Institute is an Alpha-level mutant. Of course, humans and mutants have been enemies for thousands of years. Killing mutants is a matter of course. It is not prohibited. It really violates federal law. Yes, it’s a condition of delivery.”

Du Shanfeng paused, hesitating a little, but finally said:

"To survive, the mutant must eat human flesh and blood. In other words... the Fifth Hospital convoy has been providing it with the necessary blood food during transportation."

Shen Bai's face changed:

"Feed it alive?"

"How is that possible!" Du Shanfeng looked at Shen Bai with wide eyes:

"You kid, why are your thoughts so dark? Although the Academy of Sciences does not care about outside opinions, it is also one of the pillars of mankind. How could it be possible to do such a thing?"

Shen Bai smiled sheepishly. Because of his early orphan experience, he subconsciously thought the worst about things.

Du Shanfeng shook his head and sighed:

"Of course, although it won't be fed alive, the convoy of the Fifth Academy also brought some heinous death row prisoners, and their flesh and blood were cut and bled during transportation... This is something that is neither easy to say nor pleasant to hear, so the convoy must be disguised as a transport by a private enterprise. After the brigade was accidentally stolen by the Zhang family, they just let us steal it incognito."

"The Zhang family didn't even know that it was the convoy of the Academy of Sciences. Otherwise, they would never dare to reach out if they were given 10,000 courage. But as the saying goes, misfortunes depend on each other. It was because they didn't know anything that they were not attracted by the Academy of Sciences and Vigil. When people take revenge, the ignorant are not guilty."

"Furthermore, you must have heard that there is an organization called the [United for Civilization and Progress]. In recent years, they have been launching demonstrations and movements to oppose the slaughter of aberrations and advocate the implementation of humanistic policies for these creatures that are indistinguishable from humans in appearance. Educational influence..."

"Influenced abnormal type?" Shen Bai sneered:

"Is there something wrong with these people's brains?"

"Isn't that right? They are all overfed people, so they should be thrown to the front line!"

"I have seen this organization, the Federation for Civilization and Progress, on TV, but base director, I don't think we have similar parades in Lanhai City?"

"That's because our guard, Mr. Chen Jinge, is a true hawk!" Du Shanfeng sneered:

"If those overfed guys dare to come to our Lanhai City to act like monsters, Master Chen Jinge will dare to kill them all as mutant beasts! I think back then, when Commissioner Chen was in the army... Well, I digress, let's continue. Talk about aberrations."

Du Shanfeng coughed dryly and continued:

"In general, transporting the mutants from the distant old land to the hinterland of the Federation consumes huge resources. Although they are only Alpha-level juvenile mutants, they also have extremely high research value. The high-level Apocalypse is thinking It definitely makes sense, but as for why there is such a big conspiracy... Shen Bai, do you know about [Heaven's Disease]?"

"Sickness from heaven? This is the first time I heard this word."

Du Shanfeng sighed:

"Heaven's disease, also jokingly called [the price of favor] by some people, is a congenital disease that all high-level enlightened people have."

"disease?"

"Using disease to describe it is actually not appropriate. It is a limitation and price...or a curse." Du Shanfeng thought for a while and continued:

"The think tank in Lanhai City speculates that the high-level Apocalypse may have a disease like [having to do things in roundabout ways], or [having to use intrigues to get what he wants]."

Shen Bai's eyes widened:

"Is Heaven's Disease such a strange thing?"

"Any type can be used, some are just like pranks, and some are really deadly, but this is also reasonable. High-level Apocalypse is too powerful, and it is reasonable to pay the price..."

Du Shanfeng thought of something when he said this, and said casually:

"An old friend of mine told me something. He met a little girl with red hair a few years ago. She was only ten years old at the time. She was a high-level apocalypse. She held a handful of golden lights. He cut off half of a martial arts master’s head with his sword in just two minutes! Tsk, tsk, tsk...”

Shen Bai listened with interest at first, but in the end he couldn't help but widen his eyes:
Chapter completed!
