Just as Xu Qichen said that, he heard the sound of a car engine. Mu Yao stepped protectively in front of him and let out his claws.
The black SUV stops in front of them. The door opens, and someone wearing a white shirt, black pants, and a black epaulette, steps out – it’s Ning Zheng.
Just as Mu Yao was about to step forward, Xu Qichen’s hand on his arm stopped him.
“Ning Zheng, you’re here to look for Xiao Cang, right?”
Ning Zheng’s eyes were red and his eyebrows tightly furrowed. He bypassed them without answering and entered the factory. Using a blasting device, he blew up the ground of the southeast corner of the factory.
Xu Qichen and Mu Yao followed behind him. They observed the blasted hole to find a long passageway below.
Ning Zheng jumped in.
Mu Yao wanted to jump in too, but when Xu Qichen tried to follow him, Mu Yao stopped him. “Stay here, it’s dangerous below.”
Xu Qichen grabbed Mu Yao’s arm, “No.”
“Can’t you just listen to me for once?”
Xu Qichen jumped in, holding Mu Yao’s arm.
His voice was serious and certain.
“I won’t go anywhere else. I’m safest by your side.”
He really left him with no choice at all ah.
The passage looked like some kind of an exhaust tunnel. The three of them walked deeper into it, with Ning Zheng walking alone in the front. Xu Qichen could feel his anger, along with a strange sense of guardedness.
Perhaps for him, working together with a dog demon was something impossible.
After some time, Ning Zheng stopped and tapped the floor with his foot. There was a metal trapdoor with a lock.
Just as Mu Yao was about to break the lock open, Ning Zheng took out a gun with a silencer. He shot the metal lock, then opened the trapdoor and jumped in.
Mu Yao and Xu Qichen jumped in closely behind him.
When they landed, they saw that there were four people on the ground around Ning Zheng.

“Xiao Cang is not on this floor,” Mu Yao suddenly said.
Hearing the words ‘Xiao Cang’, Ning Zheng finally turned around and looked at Mu Yao.
Mu Yao looked very certain, “This area does not have his scent.”
Ning Zheng turned around and walked forward quickly. Two men in white coats turned the corner in front of them. Ning Zheng lifted his leg and gave the man on the left a kick that sent him flying to the wall. His right hand hit the back of the other man’s neck, knocking him out immediately.
As expected of an elite police.
Seeing the unhidden admiration in Xu Qichen’s eyes, Mu Yao huffed.
I’m clearly better.
Ning Zheng grabbed the person he had kicked, who was curled up on the floor, “Tell me, where’s Yu Cang!?”
That person shook in fear, “I, I don’t know what’s Yu Cang ah! Have mercy!”
Xu Qichen quickly rushed forward and asked in a calm voice, “Where’s the laboratory for demons? If a new demon comes in, where would they be kept?”
That person hesitated and avoided their eyes. Ning Zheng placed the muzzle of his gun on his temple, “Speak!”
“I’ll speak! I’ll speak…” Upon seeing the gun, he got so scared that he began to cry. “It’s on B3, take the elevator and turn left, then turn right. Walk all the way to the end. That’s where we keep all the new test subjects.”
The words ‘test subjects’ seemed to rub Ning Zheng the wrong way. He suddenly grabbed the man by his neck as the veins on the back of his hand popped up.
Xu Qichen quickly stopped him, “Calm down, you can’t kill him.”
Ning Zheng gave Xu Qichen a glance before he let go and walked towards the elevator.
They soon arrived at B3. All three of them knew that this would surely be a place with high security, so before the doors opened, Mu Yao pushed Xu Qichen behind him.
When the doors opened, the guards outside saw two large men; one in black and one in white, exuding an aura of danger.
Before they could react, they were already beaten up by the two strangers and fell down, unconscious.
The infiltration was a clean sweep.
It seemed that the action on the upper floor exposed their visit. Suddenly, many heavily armed people appeared at the corner with guns in their hands.
Mu Yao flew forward at a speed so fast that they couldn’t react. They only saw a human shadow flashing by.
Then, everyone’s right hands were broken.
And all the guns fell onto the floor.
Mu Yao turned around and raised an eyebrow at Xu Qichen.
He’s truly immature. Is this the time to be asking for praise?
Xu Qichen could not hold back his laughter.
Ning Zheng shot the guards in their knees, destroying any possibility of them getting up and counter-attacking.
As per the information provided by the person from before, the three of them turned right, then walked in all the way.
They arrived at a closed metal door. On the right was a silver metal plate the size of a palm with a small keyhole.
Following behind Ning Zheng, Xu Qichen thought that it looked familiar.
“Mu Yao,” Xu Qichen turned his head and said, “Open the metal plate for me, don’t break the mechanism inside.”
Mu Yao came forward, pushed Xu Qichen behind him, raised his right hand, gathered strength, and violently slashed with his claws.
Only a harsh ear-piercing sound was heard before they saw that the metal plate was rolled up.
After seeing this, Xu Qichen glanced at Mu Yao’s hand and shuddered.
Mu Yao embedded his fingers into the seam, pulled down the metal plate, and threw it on the ground.
Behind the metal plate was a number pad.
As he had expected. Xu Qichen stepped forward and tried to search his memory of when he wrote this scene many years ago.
Xu Qichen had especially described this place, and he had also written the password Shi Wei had used to enter the laboratory.
This was the moment he finally got to use the golden finger of being the author and holding the script.
However, after so many years, his memory was a little blurry. Xu Qichen looked at the number pad and thought for a while. In the end, he decided to just give it a try.
He keyed in eight numbers.
It beeped urgently.
Incorrect password.
Xu Qichen took a deep breath and searched his memory again.
Tried again.
Still wrong.
He began to doubt himself. His uneasiness made his confidence waver. He must not get this wrong again, there was only one chance left.
He must not panic.
Xu Qichen closed his eyes and thought of the time he wrote this scene.
[He walked to the end of the corridor and took out a set of keys from his coat. Using the near-blinding ceiling lights, he found the key belonging to this tiny keyhole, inserted it, and twisted. The metal plate opened. He reached out and keyed in a few numbers.
0-9-1-2-3-4-0-7
The door slowly opened.]
Xu Qichen opened his eyes and entered this set of numbers.
Beep.
Correct password.
The door began to open slowly, exactly as Xu Qichen had written.
“Why do you know the password?” Ning Zheng’s gaze was sharp, as though he was trying to see through Xu Qichen.
Xu Qichen had always been afraid of the police. Hearing this interrogative tone, he smiled guiltily, “That, that’s not the point ba…”
Mu Yao quickly pulled Xu Qichen to his side, “I dare you to touch him! I’ll…”
Before he could finish his threat, he saw the scene behind the doors, and the words got stuck in his throat.
Or rather, after seeing the scene behind the doors, all three of them were at a loss for words.
