A bus with the emblem of Star City University slowly stopped at the gate of Hu Po Base.
As the car door opened, Feng Qi, Lin Ran and other students got out of the car.
It is not easy to apply for permission to visit the Hupo Research Institute.
Every year, major Kung Fu professional classes apply in large numbers, but usually very few classes actually get approval.
After all, the Hupo Research Institute is not a museum. The purpose of its existence is to promote the development of human cultivation.
But Feng Qi was confident about applying for the qualification to visit the Hupo Research Institute.
There are three main reasons.
First, he led his exercise class to win the championship in the "Hu Po Concept Competition" organized by the Hu Po Research Institute.
The second point is that Hupo Research Institute intended to admit him in advance, but he chose to refuse at the time, but he did not refuse completely.
He is also the recipient of the Outstanding Contribution to Humanity Award, and his application will be taken seriously.
The third point is that Lin Ran’s name is on the visit list.
Lin Ran has a huge temptation towards the Hupo Research Institute, or in other words, a huge temptation towards the Yeying Clan behind the Hupo Research Institute.
He now even suspected that when Lin Ran was admitted to the Hupo Academy in advance because of his talent in magic, it was because the Yeying Clan took a fancy to Lin Ran's talent in magic.
After all, the core purpose of the Night Shadow Clan is to use the resources and talents of the Hupo Research Institute to create a super spell for the development of their tribe.
This reason is completely valid.
After getting out of the car one after another, Feng Qi looked at the gate of Hu Po Base.
At this time, there are staff waiting at the gate.
After seeing Feng Qi, he immediately took two steps forward and began to confirm his identity.
I used the instrument in my hand to shine on the front door, and detailed information suddenly appeared on the instrument screen.
After confirming their identities, the staff waved behind them, and the retractable metal door suddenly slid to one side. The security personnel standing in front of the door also moved to both sides to make way.
"Teacher Feng, there are many sensitive areas in Hupo Base so filming is not allowed. I hope you can cooperate with us."
"Don't worry, I understand the rules."
Feng Qi immediately nodded to express his understanding, then turned to look at Lin Ran and others and said:
"Put all the electronic products you carry with you in the security room first, and then take them with you when we leave."
After saying that, he walked through the metal door first and came to the security gate, took out the mobile phone he carried with him and put it into the storage box on the side.
After passing through the security gate, the instrument did not sound an alarm.
At this moment, he turned around and looked at Lin Ran and others who were approaching.
In fact, in addition to his mobile phone, he also has a small locator embedded in the back of his neck.
However, the positioning chip developed by Scarlet Research Institute is not made of ordinary materials, and special circumstances have long been considered during the research and design.
After many 1500 years of upgrades, this locator can even fool the detection device in the Scarlet Research Institute, and has become almost integrated with the body.
The Scarlet Research Institute even considered the possibility of the positioning chip falling after he turned on the blood source, and this time the chip was glued to the bones of his back neck instead of simply embedded in the flesh.
Lin Ran and others passed the security check one after another at this time and stored the electronic items they carried with them in storage boxes.
The staff responsible for showing them around then drove a sightseeing car.
Feng Qi got on the bus first and sat next to the staff. Lin Ran and others also got on the bus one after another.
During the head count, Feng Qi blinked at Mu Qing, who was sitting in the fourth row of the back seat.
Mu Qing nodded understandingly.
After counting the number of people, the sightseeing bus slowly drove towards the Hu Po Base building complex in the distance.
Along the way, the staff enthusiastically introduced the history of Hupo Research Institute.
It talks about a lot of content that is not recorded in textbooks.
The Hupo Research Institute was first established in the early days of the Catastrophe. At that time, the prototype of human cultivation had not yet appeared. We only knew that there was a special substance in the world. Anthropologists called these special substances "spiritual energy".
At that time, humans were eager to know how aura made domain creatures stronger.
Can humans replicate this way of rapid growth and becoming stronger?
The concept of self-cultivation came into being.
At that time, a large number of Reiki research laboratories emerged in major cities, and these Reiki research laboratories were the prototype of early Kung Fu research institutes.
Since there was no perfect frontline supply area system in the early days, the field output resources available to humans were extremely limited. Under such difficult background conditions, the resources that each Reiki Research Institute could allocate were extremely limited.
At that time, in order to speed up the research on Reiki, Star City's senior management promoted the reorganization of the Reiki Research Laboratory and pooled resources for utilization.
Hupo Research Institute was born under the background conditions at that time.
Facts have proven that the decision made by Star City's senior staff at that time was a wise choice. Compared with allocating resources dispersedly, it is obvious that concentrating resources and talents can better develop cultivation science.
But at that time, everything was difficult.
Anthropologists have not yet established a complete domain resource database.
The early scholars of the Hupo Institute were often exposed to radiation from special psychic substances, which damaged their body functions and generally did not live past the age of 40.
Just like Shen Nong tasting a hundred herbs, the contents of the initial database can even be said to have been filled in with life.
At that time, the Hupo Research Institute had a large number of talented people, who contributed greatly to the improvement of the concept of cultivation and made great contributions.
At its peak, the Hupo Research Institute surpassed the Galaxy Research Institute and became the most dazzling Kung Fu research institution at the time.
The sightseeing bus came to an airplane statue at this time, and you could see that the white stone tablet in front of the statue was full of people's names.
Lin Ran, who was sitting behind Feng Qi, curiously asked:
"What is the origin of this statue?"
In response to the inquiry, the staff drove a sightseeing car close to the aircraft statue, then pointed to the white stone tablet in front of the statue and introduced:
"The names on this monument are all pilots from the early days of the disaster."
"pilot?"
Lin Ran became even more curious after hearing these words, obviously not understanding why the pilot's monument was left in the Hupo base.
"Yes, they have made an indelible contribution to the development of the Hupo Research Institute. It can even be said that without them risking their lives in transporting field resources, the Hupo Research Institute would not be what it is today."
The staff then described another major dilemma faced by the Hupo Research Institute in the early days of the disaster.
That is a lack of resources.
The reorganization of the Reiki Research Laboratory in Star City has indeed played a vital role in promoting the development of cultivation science.
But it still faces a big challenge.
At that time, the transportation field resources were full of risks.
At that time, there were no current air hazard zone identification signs, and aircraft would definitely pass through some fields during transportation. A large number of transport aircraft pilots flew into fields with different rules for resource transportation, and thus paid the price with their lives.
Today's safe flight routes are forged by these pilots with their lives.
Feng Qi already knew the history of this monument after he and the Lord of Mist took control of the Tiger Soul Research Institute.
Listening to it now, I still feel awe in my heart.
Every inch of land on the Hu Po base is engraved with glory. It was once a beacon on the road of human exploration and hope, but now what he has to do is to clean the filth on it and restore the glory of the Hu Po.
But the time is not yet ripe, and he still needs to wait.
As long as he can enter Hu Po's main base, he has a chance to solve this problem.
The sightseeing bus continues to move forward, and the staff will explain the history of the buildings along the way at each area it visits.
The story behind the story is moving.
Listening to the staff's explanation, Feng Qi imagined the historical scenes.
A sense of national and historical identity flowed in his heart. He seemed to see many busy figures in the black and white picture. They were passionately planning for the future and imagining the arrival of a glorious and prosperous age for mankind.
The ancestors planted the seeds, and the descendants enjoy the shade.
It is undeniable that human nature is selfish in nature, but it is the selflessness of a small number of people that allows human civilization to continue.
The spirit of dedication is engraved in the hearts of generations, like a kind of inheritance, spreading infinitely.
The responsibility of the times has now fallen on his shoulders.
It's my duty!
Passing by the statues of outstanding figures, it was like taking over the baton of inheritance, Feng Qi made a solemn promise in his heart.
The sky is getting dark, and the Hu Po Base is brightly lit at night.
At this time, the sightseeing bus drove to the most conspicuous headquarters building, which is located in the center of the base. Under the light, it looks like a golden sword reaching into the sky.
The sightseeing bus stopped in front of the headquarters building, and Feng Qi and others got off one after another.
"The tour lasts three days. I will take you to learn more about other areas tomorrow. Let's go have dinner first."
As he said that, the staff member looked at Feng Qi with a smile:
"Have Teacher Feng been to Hu Po Base before?"
"No, it's my first time to visit too." He immediately shook his head.
He already knew the situation inside Hu Po Base very well.
During the last sacrifice line, when the Lord of the Mist was in retreat, he was solely responsible for all affairs of the Tiger Soul. During this period, he had a detailed understanding of the departmental structure of the Tiger Soul Research Institute.
But of course he couldn't say these words clearly.
Following the staff into the base, they went straight to the restaurant of the Hu Po Base.
During the meal, the staff introduced in detail the dietary standards of Hupo Research Institute and the sources of ingredients.
After dinner, they followed the staff to visit several departments in the base that were open to the public, and learned a lot about the study of exercises.
The time came to ten o'clock in the evening.
The staff took them to the accommodation area and arranged a double room for them.
Before leaving, the staff specifically warned not to walk around the base at night, otherwise you will bear a series of responsibilities.
In this regard, Feng Qi naturally gave a definite guarantee.
Two people share a room, Feng Qi and Lin Ran live in the same room.
After entering the room, Lin Ran began to search the room vigilantly.
"What are you doing?"
When Lin Ran heard this, he immediately made a silent gesture, and then said softly:
"I'm afraid there is a listening device in the room, so I'll check it first to be on the safe side."
"Don't worry, there is no monitoring device here. I have been here for several years and I know the layout very well." Feng Qi waved his hand immediately.
He could completely understand Lin Ran's vigilance, but the Yeying Clan behind the Tiger Soul Research Institute would not deliberately set up defenses against them.
From the perspective of Hupo Research Institute, they are just ordinary visitors.
There are no flaws in the background information or any other aspects.
After hearing his explanation, Lin Ran breathed a sigh of relief.
"Don't worry, just follow my plan and there will be no problems."
As for the layout of the Hu Po base, Feng Qi had drawn it into a map for Lin Ran and others to note down.
The first step of the plan is to seize the authority of the core area console of Hupo Research Institute.
As long as the authority is obtained, it is impossible to pass on what happened in the Hu Po base.
As for the combat power of the Night Shadow Clan, in his opinion, it is not worth mentioning.
With Mu Qing around, the Yeying clan is vulnerable.
The time came to 11 o'clock in the evening.
There was a knock on the door, and Feng Qi, who was reading a book, gave Lin Ran a wink. Lin Ran, who was in the next bed, immediately got out of bed, went to the door and opened it.
A middle-aged man appeared at the door. He wore rimless glasses, short hair, and a white shirt. His skin was a healthy wheat color, his eyes were deep and lively, and his nose was high.
This person is no stranger to sealing chess.
It was Director Liu who went to Star City University specifically to admit him in advance.
This time the invitation email from Hupo Research Institute was sent in the name of Director Liu.
Seeing an acquaintance, Feng Qi immediately stood up and said hello:
"Director Liu."
Through the information from the previous timeline, he is now certain that Director Liu has been controlled by the Night Shadow Clan.
To be more precise, this guy has taken refuge with the Night Shadow Clan and is not simply being bewitched.
He hates human traitors deeply.
But of course he won't show this on his face.
Warmly welcoming Director Liu into the room and sitting down, he smiled and said:
"Director Liu, I would like to thank you for your support in being able to visit Hupo Research Institute this time."
After some pleasantries, Director Liu revealed his purpose:
"Feng Qi, your talent is obvious to all. Staying at Star City Academy will only bury your abilities. On behalf of the Hupo Research Institute, I extend an invitation to you again. I hope you can come to the Hupo Research Institute to contribute your talents."
After speaking, Director Liu changed his tone:
"Feng Qi, have you ever been exposed to magic research?"
After hearing these words, he immediately understood Director Liu's purpose.
It is false to value his talent in martial arts research, but it is true to think that his talent can be better used in martial arts research.
The physique of the Yeying Clan is incompatible with human cultivation methods.
However, spells are related to the rules of heaven and earth, and to the aura element. Any spell can be used by all races, but there are differences in strength and weakness.
The purpose of the Yeying tribe that controls the Tiger Soul Research Institute is to use the efforts of top human scholars to create a super magic for the tribe.
After understanding the reason, he couldn't help but glance at Lin Ran.
As a genius in martial arts research, he was recruited in advance by the Tiger Soul Research Institute, which focuses on martial arts research. It is obviously related to this reason.
But there is no doubt about one thing, and that is Lin Ran's talent.
He is undoubtedly the most gifted magic genius of this era, and one of the few who has left a lasting mark on history.
"Director Liu, I'm really sorry. I have no idea about joining the Hu Po Research Institute yet. As for the research on magic, I have never been involved in it."
Hearing these words, a trace of regret appeared on Director Liu's face.
But he obviously didn't give up yet, and then he smiled and said:
"Don't refuse in a hurry. Come to the office with me later. I have something to show you. Maybe it will change your mind."
"what?"
"Some historical information about the Hupo Research Institute may make you interested in the Hupo Research Institute."
"Okay, I'm very interested in the history of Hupo Research Institute." He immediately nodded in agreement.
After another small talk, he followed Director Liu out of the room and walked towards the core area of the Hu Po Research Institute.
Director Liu obviously didn't want to take him to read historical materials, Feng Qi understood this clearly.
The information from the previous timeline made Director Liu's thoughts almost transparent to him.
At this time, the Night Shadow Clan obviously did not want to give up on him, and felt that he might have outstanding talents in spell research and could contribute to the Night Shadow Clan's super spell structure.
Now that he has specially sent it to the door, in the eyes of the Yeying tribe, it is undoubtedly a sheep falling into a tiger's mouth.
It's not easy to do anything in Star City Academy, but Hu Po Research Institute is their home field.
The only racial innate ability of the Night Shadow tribe is the ability of "mind control".
What we will face next is self-evident.
But Feng Qi has no fear in his heart. Purple soul patterns are engraved on his bones on this battle line. It is undoubtedly a foolish dream to control him through mental bewitchment.
The most important thing is that he is about to enter the core area of Huso and meet the Yeying clan.
This force poses no threat to him.
If it weren't for the risk of being exposed in advance, Mu Qing alone would be enough to destroy the entire Yeying Clan.
Before leaving, he gave Lin Ran a wink.
He knew Lin Ran would understand what he meant.
Following Director Liu along a familiar route, they arrived at the core area of the Hupo Research Institute.
The first thing you see is the control console in the center area.
This control console has the highest authority of the Hupo Research Institute and can control the operation or shutdown of all facilities in the Hupo Research Institute. It can also cut off the power supply of the entire Hupo Research Institute through the control console.
He just glanced at it and stopped paying attention.
After continuing to follow Director Liu for a while, they came to stand in front of Room A-1 in the core area.
At this moment, Director Liu opened the door and walked in first.
When Feng Qi saw this, he followed immediately.
The room looked like a laboratory, with many instruments placed inside. It didn't look like an office at all.
The strange thing is that the scientific research instruments here are covered with yellow paper that looks like talismans, giving it an indescribable weird feeling.
Passing through piles of scientific research instruments, Director Liu suddenly turned around and looked at him, with a smile on his face.
I saw him slowly taking out a mobile phone from his pocket, reaching out and pressing it.
Suddenly there was the sound of gears clenching at the door, and it was obvious that the door had been locked.
"Feng Qi, we are very sincere to you. Originally, we did not want to control you, and we were prepared to spend a lot of resources to train you."
"Control me? What do you mean?" he pretended to be surprised.
"To tell you the truth, we believe that you, who has a rare talent in history in the field of martial arts research, can also be great in the field of magic research. This is why we don't want to control you directly."
"After all, after being controlled by the mind, there will be some damage here, which will affect subsequent research." As he said this, Director Liu pointed to his temple with a smile.
Feng Qi was not surprised when he heard these words.
In the previous timeline, he always had a doubt as to why the Hupo Research Institute did not choose to directly mentally control Lin Ran, but chose to use concealed methods to exploit Lin Ran.
He once asked Ye Lao Er this question.
The explanation given by Ye Laoer is that the process of mind control has certain risks, and it may cause difficult-to-heal mental damage to the person being controlled during the process, or even cause the person being controlled to become insane.
Lin Ran's talent cannot be copied. The Yeying Clan obviously does not want to take risks on Lin Ran. The cost of doing so is too high.
But faced with his repeated rejections, the Yeying Clan obviously had no patience.
"You want to harm me? Aren't you afraid that Star City University can't explain it to you? If you harm me here, the surveillance in the Hupo Research Institute can prove that I have been here with you."
"Don't worry, I had already turned off the monitoring when I came here, and I need to correct a mistake in your words. It's not me who wants to harm you, but the entire Hupo Research Institute who wants to harm you."
"As for how to explain to Star City University, you will give an explanation to Star City University when you are controlled. I don't need to worry about this."
With that said, Director Liu stepped aside and bowed his head respectfully.
I saw several figures walking out from behind the instrument.
The leader, Feng Qi, is very familiar with him.
It has light blue skin, a human-like body shape, and purple eyes that look very enchanting. If you stare carefully, it seems to be breathtaking.
Feng Qi didn't know what its real name was, but since the Tiger Soul Research Institute was controlled by the Lord of Mist, its name was changed to "Ye Lao Er".
Looking at the corners of Ye Laoer's mouth that slowly turned up, he laughed in his heart.
We meet again, fate!
Without too much nonsense, Ye Laoer took out an object that looked like a remote control and reached out to press it. Suddenly, several steel cables shot out from the ceiling and wrapped precisely around his limbs.
The steel cable contracted at this moment, and his body was slowly suspended in the air.
At the same time, the instruments covered with talismans began to operate, and the rich spiritual energy was generated from within and soon filled the entire room.
A large formation trajectory diagram then appeared on the ground.
Seeing this scene, Feng Qi was amazed. He didn't expect that the Yeying Clan had developed a whole set of methods to control people.
It can be said that the instruments and tools in this room are specially built to strengthen the means of mental control.
Seeing him being restrained, Ye Laoer couldn't restrain his excitement on his face.
It was obvious that he was being treated as a lamb to be slaughtered.
At this time, Feng Qi couldn't help but laugh:
"Excuse me, what time is it now?"
"Why are you asking this?" Ye Laoer said in a low voice, his eyes flashing with purple light as he spoke.
"Just think of it as a wish before being controlled."
"1:10 in the morning." Ye Laoer looked at the controller in his hand and responded, obviously not thinking that he could still resist.
After Ye Laoer finished speaking, a loud noise suddenly came from outside the house, and the ground trembled.
"It seems that the game is over!"
Realizing that the time had come, a ferocious smile appeared on Feng Qi's face.
Bloodborne starts!
The heart beating speed suddenly accelerated at this time.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The beating of the heart is getting faster and faster, like the sound of war drums and hammers, shocking the soul.
In the disbelief expressions of Ye Laoer and other Yeying clan members, his body was covered in blood mist and rose at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The blood mist continues to solidify into flesh and blood.
Purple and blood lines danced across his body, dark green flames rose from the inside out, and the terrifying pressure continued to rise, shocking the members of the Night Shadow Clan to freeze in place.
Boom! Boom!
The steel ropes wrapped around his limbs broke one after another, and Feng Qi crashed to the ground.
Standing on the huge formation that shone with purple light, he looked like a demon crawling out of hell, his whole body filled with evil and fearful aura.
He looked up at the members of the Night Shadow Clan, and slowly clenched his fists, making a sound of joints cracking.
Looking at the members of the Night Shadow Clan who were already at a loss, a ferocious smile appeared on the corner of his mouth:
