Ji Zihe and Yang Lingting stood side by side. When Ji Zihe saw the situation outside, his brows became tighter and tighter.

"We're here." The two walked out of the cloud pillar.

"Ji Zihe, since you really want me to arrange a position for you to use your talents, then you should do this and the 'broken finger' thing."

"What's going on here?"

Looking at the sixth floor that looks like a research room, the people inside are wearing special clothes and are very busy conducting some research.

"What this is doing is not the point." Yang Lingting looked at Ji Zihe and said, "Besides, isn't this exactly your purpose?"

"I don't understand what Director Yang means."

"Huh, Ji Zihe, you and I are both smart people." Yang Lingting said, "To be honest, I can probably guess what your purpose is here."

"If Director Yang doesn't believe me, then you can throw me out." Ji Zihe said, "However, now that I have seen what's going on here, I think if you don't believe me, even if you kill me here, you won't be able to do anything."

No one will object."

When their eyes met again, Ji Zihe knew that he couldn't dodge this time no matter what. If he dodged like last time, he was afraid that there would be a corpse next.

The pressure of high-level ability users and the power of superiors emanated from Yang Lingting at the same time, constantly oppressing Ji Zihe.

At this time, Ji Zihe was already complaining in his heart and sweating continuously, but his eyes never averted.

After a long time, Ji Zihe began to feel that his vision was a little blurry. At this time, the pressure suddenly disappeared. Yang Lingting patted Ji Zihe on the shoulder and smiled with satisfaction.

Ji Zihe breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and the tight thread in his heart relaxed, and he began to wipe the sweat from his forehead.

"Are you an enemy?"

At this moment, Yang Lingting suddenly turned around and shouted loudly at Ji Zihe.

Ji Zihe was shocked by this loud shout and his head was spinning.

"No...no." Ji Zihe then shook his head and said as if he had just woken up.

Yang Lingting, who was watching the change in Ji Zihe's facial expression, smiled and said, "I don't think you are an enemy either, let's go."

"What do you think of the empire?" Yang Lingting asked Ji Zihe as he walked.

"To be honest, I don't know." Ji Zihe said, "In the past few days, I have only lived in a very closed city for more than ten years. And the 'Dingyuan' agency does not exist in Tiancheng."

"If your parents are in a fatal crisis and you need to kill some members of your family to save your parents, what will you do?" Yang Lingting asked in a change of tone.

Ji Zihe was a little confused by this question.

"There's no need to ask, of course I'll do it. Even if I'm not understood by others after what I've done, even if I'm resented by others, if I'm hesitant, I might not be able to protect anyone."

Ji Zihe answered with some hesitation. Ji Zihe had never thought about this question, and Ji Zihe did not think that he would encounter such a situation.

"Hahahaha, well said." Yang Lingting's eyes were filled with admiration.

"Forehead."

This led to the fact that even though Ji Zihe and Yang Lingting were three levels apart, they could still have such a conversation. This would have been absolutely impossible before Qin Zu.

Looking at the busy people below, Ji Zihe couldn't help but ask: "What are they doing?"

"They are naturally conducting research on the 'Red Ghost' project."

"The 'Red Ghost' plan, what is that?"

"The 'Red Ghost' plan is far too far away and involves another continent and another empire. You can simply understand it as a plan to improve human combat capabilities." Yang Lingting said, "Since Qin Zu, human beings have lost

The ability to use elements to strengthen the body. The 'Red Ghost' plan is to use another method to restore this ability of humans."

"Can this kind of thing be done?"

"That's why we conduct research." Yang Lingting said, "And this kind of research is conducted because something is approaching the empire."

"what?"

"Dead beasts." Yang Lingting said, "The so-called dead beasts are elemental beasts that have died and have stood up again for some reason."

"Then why don't people from our empire go to support us?" Ji Zihe asked curiously, "Can this kind of plan solve this kind of thing?"

"If you can go, you have to go there. Eliminating the risk outside your home is the best choice, but it's not possible." Yang Lingting said, "I don't know why, but high-level ability users can't reach another empire, and low-level ability users can't.

Although they can get over it, if they do, they will just die in vain."

"And the research we are conducting is to use the things that allow dead beasts to stand up again to strengthen humans themselves, so that when disaster strikes, the empire will have more combat power to deal with it."

"'Red Ghost'?"

"Yes, once the 'Red Ghost' plan is successful, low-level ability users will have some life-saving capital when fighting against the dead beasts. Not only that, it can also increase the overall life span of human beings." Yang Lingting said, "But, not so much

easy."

“How was that studied?”

"Experiments on living people, directly transforming living people into 'red ghosts'."

"This kind of thing is too inhumane. How many people will die?"

"Humanity? A joke." Yang Lingting said, "When the Death Beast invades the empire, the entire empire will suffer heavy losses. At that time, you can talk about humanity with the Death Beast."

"So, you use living people to transform into 'ghosts' and sacrifice a few people to save more people?"

"if not?"

"What does this severed finger have to do with it?" Ji Zihe asked, "You asked me to do research related to this severed finger, but what does this have to do with the severed finger?"

"This severed finger is the finger of the first living person to be transformed into a 'ghost man'." Yang Lingting said, "Do you understand now?"

"I'm not a scientific researcher, what can I do here?"

"You can record this with the Shadow Stone."

"What did you say?" Ji Zihe was shocked.

"Isn't that why you came here? Ji Zihe." Yang Lingting said, "Don't tell me that little thing hidden so deep in your body is not a shadow stone."

"This..." Ji Zihe said.

"Are you curious?" Yang Lingting said, "Although Shadow Stone is only popular within the 'Rat', it doesn't mean that I don't know about it. Don't forget, my Yang family is the first family in the empire."

At this point, there is no point in continuing to hide it.

"You already know this, why did you bring me down?"

"I have confirmed that you are not an enemy." Yang Lingting said, "And although your answer just now was a bit hesitant, isn't it your true inner thought? Maybe you can deceive others, but you definitely can't deceive me. Even if it is

The 'rat' has undergone extremely rigorous training. As long as he lies in front of me, I can see through it."

"In that case, why don't you conduct research openly? Can't you just explain it to the empire?"

"No, it can't be done. It's impossible for those cowards in the empire to support this plan." Yang Lingting said, "The current empire is no longer the empire of Qin Zu's time."

"And I guess you were asked to investigate the 'Black Water'." Ji Zihe said, "If nothing else, it should be that old guy Huang Ran."

"You know all this?" Ji Zihe couldn't believe it.

"Don't forget, there are my people everywhere in Fengyuan City. I know about the patient battle between you and Huang Ran. Not only that, I also know about the mercenary organization called 'Shenxing'."

Yang Lingting said, "Don't compare me with those losers who live on dry food all day long."

"Since you are not sent by an enemy to interfere with my plan, then at least we are not enemies. I am willing to let you use the Shadow Stone here."

"What's your purpose for doing this?"

"The purpose? It's very simple." Yang Lingting said softly, "Because I need an outsider."

"Then what?" Ji Zihe asked, "What do we need an outsider for?"

Ji Zihe didn't know what to say at this point.

"I need an outsider to secretly monitor Blackwater." Yang Lingting said, "The one who provides us with support now is Blackwater, and those selfish people don't know what they want to do here."

"What are you doing to monitor Blackwater?" Ji Zihe said, "Does Blackwater plan to engage in any conspiracy under such circumstances?"

"This requires an outsider to observe calmly."

"If nothing else, aren't you afraid that I will reveal these things?"

"Can you?" Yang Lingting said, "I can tell you very realistically, even if you reveal all the inside stories here, my Yang family will not be afraid. Moreover, if you reveal it, it means,

You have now killed more than 60% of the empire's population."

"Ji Zihe, although you and I have only been together for two days, I have admired you very much during these two days." Yang Lingting said, "The reason why I clarify your purpose here is to tell you something."

"tell me what?"

"I, Yang Lingting, and my Yang family, the largest family in the Shenyue Empire with only over 500 family members among a population of 1.1 billion. The Yang family, known to outsiders as the ivory tower family, will never succumb to those cowards."
