The sharp alarms blared within the building. Several large doors automatically closed, and an outer layer of electrical currents formed a 'fence,' enveloping the entire structure. From afar, it looked as if giant azure serpents were coiling around the building.

Twenty minutes later, the Maoshi Star garrison was the first to arrive. A large contingent of ground troops tightly sealed off the building, while fighter jets and Mechas continuously flew low overhead.

Two hours later, Director Xue arrived urgently aboard the Huai Shan Branch School's spacecraft.

Four hours later, Dr. Meng Ji and Gong Shuxu arrived together.

Dr. Meng Ji, wearing a special protective suit, charged into the building. "Where is the test subject? Let me see it quickly!"

The people around were speechless. That was a living person, not some specimen!

But it didn't matter to Meng Ji. In his eyes, it was a test subject; even Chen Gu was a test subject. If Dr. Meng Ji took an interest in you, congratulations, your entire family became test subjects.

Gong Shuxu hurriedly followed. Director Xue, after a word with the military commander, also entered the building close behind them.

Everyone wore protective suits specially made by Dr. Meng Ji, capable of isolating contamination to the greatest extent, but they couldn't block the 'temptations' from within one's heart.

Though Dr. Meng Ji was physically as weak as a chicken, he ran with surprising speed at this moment, charging ahead of everyone into the underground hall.

Gong Shuxu followed closely. His gaze quickly scanned the corner and found Chen Gu. He felt relieved, and Chen Gu also felt much more at ease.

Following Gong Shuxu, a woman whose age was indiscernible entered. She had a head of snow-white silver hair, yet her face was filled with a youthfulness that seemed to spring from an abundance of collagen. Her beauty surpassed that of the cold and stunning Ye Feileng. However, within her large eyes seemed to settle the vicissitudes of many years, calm and profound.

Chen Gu thought to himself: A white-haired witch...

Ye Feileng, her face an icy mask, stepped forward. "Director Xue."

Director Xue paid her no mind, lifting her hand slightly in an unhurried and calm manner. "Doctor, a moment."

In the entire underground hall, an invisible force quietly arose—gentle, without a trace of killing intent, yet so immense and overpowering that it was irresistible.

Everyone, including Gong Shuxu and Ye Feileng of the Sixth Energy Level, involuntarily stopped, 'halted' by this force.

Chen Gu's heart leaped. A peer, a Quantum Wizard! A Quantum Wizard even more powerful than Derek Kun Shen.

Ye Feileng and Gong Shuxu had easily 'obeyed.' This must be a super-expert at the Seventh Energy Level or higher!

Chen Gu didn't yet know that Director Xue was at the Eighth Energy Level, second only to Aviloya.

Dr. Meng Ji, that weakling, was of course also 'halted' without any suspense. He had spotted Sun Kexin; she was the only female student in the entire underground hall. He desperately wanted to rush over but couldn't move an inch.

Director Xue said, "Doctor, the principal sent me with two tasks. One is to protect the safety of our students. Please remember, Doctor, they are not your test subjects."

"Alright, alright," Meng Ji agreed repeatedly, though it was only verbal acquiescence. As for what he truly thought... that went without saying.

Director Xue didn't elaborate on the other task. Ye Feileng, however, sneered inwardly. Isn't it just to suppress me, worried I won't give face to the Bureau of Mystic Security and the military?

She continuously sneered at Director Xue internally. You loyal hound of the principal!

However, within this silent sneering, how much was resentment, how much contempt, and how much was jealousy, only Ye Feileng herself knew for sure.

How many female teachers didn't wish to become the principal's 'loyal hound'? Preferably a female one at that.

It was just a pity that Ye Feileng lacked the qualifications—neither in terms of ability nor looks.

After receiving Dr. Meng Ji's agreement, Director Xue finally cracked a slight smile and lowered her hand. "Please begin your work, Dr. Meng Ji."

WHOOSH! The Entanglement Control was released, and that power, as vast as an ocean or the Star Sea, disappeared. No one needed to 'wait' any longer. Dr. Meng Ji pounced toward Sun Kexin, who was like a little lamb.

He had brought his full set of equipment and half of his subordinates, and quickly began to 'examine' Sun Kexin.

Ye Feileng came to Director Xue's side, a hint of resentment in her voice. "The principal just won't trust me. Sun Kexin has already undergone a comprehensive risk assessment; there shouldn't be any problems."

Director Xue simply shook her head gently. But in her heart, she somewhat disagreed with Ye Feileng. This concerned new students, and their military training was about to commence. Being more cautious at this time was the correct approach.

Dr. Meng Ji busied himself for more than an hour yet still came up with nothing.

Ye Feileng became increasingly confident, but she failed to notice that in Dr. Meng Ji's eyes, a certain frenzied gleam was growing brighter and brighter.

After two hours, Dr. Meng Ji announced, "Alright, beginning the final test!"

Ye Feileng, seeing victory within reach, regained her cold and elegant demeanor, stating calmly yet haughtily, "My judgment cannot be wrong!"

But Dr. Meng Ji suddenly let out a loud roar, "Got you!"

Sun Kexin, her youthful and vibrant body undergoing the final test in the instrument, suddenly swelled with a HISS. Various black, dull yellow, and grey-brown energies burst forth, instantly enveloping the instrument. The young girl, in the bloom of her youth, transformed in an instant into a massive monstrosity—a fusion of biological and mechanical parts!

"SKREEE—!"

It let out a bizarre, exceedingly sharp shriek. Everyone in the underground hall, except for the Practitioners, rolled their eyes back and fainted, including Dr. Meng Ji.

Director Xue remained calm. She simply raised her hand lightly. The hulking monster, rampaging a moment ago, froze the next. Yellow-brown eyes were opening all over its body, but they, too, stopped, half-opened.

Director Xue remained still, then looked around the room. Her gaze paused briefly on Ye Feileng before moving past her to Chen Gu. "Revive Dr. Meng Ji."

"Okay." Chen Gu hastily agreed and went over to check on Dr. Meng Ji. He had been working with the doctor for a long time and knew him well. He searched the doctor's protective suit and indeed found a row of buttons. He selected one and pressed it.

HISS!

A hidden needle in the protective suit jabbed down, injecting the drug. The doctor quickly woke up. He knew the risks involved with such an examination and had prepared thoroughly for any danger—not to save his life, but to awaken as quickly as possible to continue his experiments.

Dr. Meng Ji sat up abruptly. Looking at the Mutant controlled by Quantum Entanglement, he laughed proudly, full of accomplishment, and declared, "No matter how deep you hide, I, this Doctor, can drag you out!"
