Chapter 77: Forty-Fifth Floor Underground

After coming out of the eldest lady's office, Xu Nian saw Mr. Xu in the laboratory again. Since the other party was concentrating on talking to a researcher, he did not disturb the other party, but found a place to sit down and wait silently.

I don't know if it was because the eldest lady had greeted them. After he appeared in the laboratory, the researchers in the laboratory didn't care whether it would be inconvenient for him to be here. It was as if he didn't exist, and they didn't even look at him.

It was not until about half an hour later that Mr. Xu seemed to have finished explaining the work and hooked his finger at him.

He trotted over.

"The eldest lady asked me to take you to see the girl, right?"

Without waiting for Xu Nian to speak, Mr. Xu seemed to know what Xu Nian was going to do, and pointed in the direction of the metal door: "Let's go, I'll take you there!"

With that, Mr. Xu walked over first.

Xu Nian hurriedly followed.

After leaving the laboratory, Mr. Xu did not go downstairs, but took him through the long corridor to the end.

Xu Nian was confused, but smartly said nothing.

Generally speaking, places like this would have traps or something, and that's how it's played out in movies, so he vaguely felt that there might be a secret door here.

As expected.

As Mr. Xu walked to the wall at the end of the corridor and stretched out his palm to press the wall, the whole wall suddenly lit up like an LCD screen, and then an illusory head appeared on the wall.

"Palmprint authentication successful."

"Pupil authentication successful."

"Iris authentication successful."

"Welcome, Academician Xu Weiqing!"

Academician?

Xu Nian's mind was shaken, and he looked at Mr. Xu in front of him in shock.

At this time, the middle of the wall suddenly split to both sides like a chain, and an elevator-like space appeared in front of him.

"Follow me!"

Xu Weiqing looked back at Xu Nian and walked in first.

Xu Nian followed again.

The wall slowly closed like an elevator door.

Xu Nian found numbers from two to negative sixty inside, and then he realized that he was in an elevator hidden in the wall.

Xu Weiqing pressed the negative 45th floor.

The elevator began to descend at a constant speed.

While there was still time, he couldn't help but ask: "Is this an underground base?"

"No!"

Xu Weiqing said lightly: "Every layer is a prison, and the creatures imprisoned are more terrifying the lower you go!"

"Creatures?"

Xu Nian keenly caught this somewhat special word.

"Well, humans are also a kind of creatures, but the people who can be imprisoned here are not ordinary people."

As he said, Xu Weiqing seemed to think of something, and looked at Xu Nian strangely: "Just like your little girlfriend."

"No, no, no, Mr. Xu, you misunderstood, I have a wife and children, Bai Fei is just my friend!"

Xu Nian was startled and hurriedly interrupted to explain.

Xu Weiqing chuckled and shook his head, saying, "I'm old now and don't have time to understand the little things you young people have. Whether it's friends or girlfriends, it's none of my business even if you're two-timing. I just want to tell you that although Bai Fei is an ordinary person, because she became the carrier of the Swelling Daughter, she is afraid that she will never leave here in this life."

Xu Nian's face changed, and he said angrily, "How can you do this?!"

"Xu Nian, I know you're worried about your friend, but there's nothing I can do about it." Xu Weiqing sighed and said seriously, "Maybe you don't know the horror of the Swelling Daughter, but as the dean of the institute and the director of the Cthulhu Research Center, I can tell you responsibly that no matter how much it costs, the institute will not allow the Swelling Daughter to come. Even if we can't stop it, we will seal the Swelling Daughter in this underground prison forever."

Xu Nian's face changed from green to red, and he clenched and unclenched his fists, and said in a deep voice, "In that case, you Have you tried to kill her?"

"That's right!" Xu Weiqing said calmly: "After knowing that the mental fluctuations in her stomach were suspected to be the Swelling Daughter, the eldest lady issued an order to clean it up, but unfortunately, we were still too late. The advent ceremony of the Swelling Daughter could not be interrupted, and we couldn't kill her at all!"

As he said, he seemed to have thought of something, and a thoughtful expression appeared on his face: "As for the fan you got in the Corruption Swamp, we have studied and analyzed it. The material is a mixture of human finger bones and some animal bones. There is no mental fluctuation in it, but it contains strange energy. We don't have specific information about this energy yet, so we can't be sure whether this fan can interrupt the advent ceremony of the Swelling Daughter. "

Xu Nian nodded and frowned: "Then what about the notebook I asked Zuo Qiuyue to give you?"

On the way back from the Corruption Swamp, Xu Nian gave the notebook and fan to Zuo Qiuyue and asked her to help pass it to professionals for inspection. Unexpectedly, it was handed over to Old Xu.

Xu Weiqing nodded: "This is simple, we have seen it before, it is a special energy circuit."

As he said, seeing that Xu Nian did not seem to understand what he meant, he shook his head and said: "It is the so-called sealed black magic of the Corpse Eater Cult, but for us researchers, black magic is nothing more than an energy circuit."

Xu Nian: "."

"Ding"

At this time, the elevator stopped and the door slowly opened.

Xu Weiqing nodded to Xu Nian and walked out first.

Xu Nian followed again.

Looking back, the elevator door had closed tightly. From the outside, it looked exactly like the wall before. It was impossible to imagine that there was an elevator here, and it led to dozens of floors underground.

"Follow me."

Unlike the dark dungeon imagined, the prison cells here were closed metal rooms made of unknown metal. There were not many metal rooms. Judging from the numbers, there were only six in total.

And Xu Weiqing took him to Metal Room No. 6.

Then there was a series of palm prints, pupils, irises and other authentications, and then a metal door that was more than twice as thick as the bank vault door opened automatically.

Xu Nian saw various research instruments inside, several researchers wearing biochemical protective suits, and a transparent glass window of about 100 inches.

"Mr. Xu, you're here!"

The moment the door opened, one of the researchers shouted to Mr. Xu, who nodded, walked in and asked, "How is she now?"

As Xu Nian followed, he closed the door and looked at Bai Fei who was locked on the operating table by six metal rings in the glass window.

There were various automatic instruments placed around the operating table, which could be controlled remotely.

At that moment, Xu Nian felt a strong anger and impulse in his heart, and he wanted to break the glass and take Bai Fei away from here.
