Chapter 515: Escape from Zekiel Island (1)

Indeed, the people of Yi are not to be trusted.

Liu Xing rubbed the back of his head, feeling uneasy about being manipulated.

Shaking his head, Liu Xing chose to leave the Soul Casket.

After leaving the Soul Casket, Liu Xing pondered for a moment and decided to abandon the idea of looking for Chrisiano. After all, openly exposing someone’s weaknesses could lead to resentment.

So, it was better to act as if he didn’t know anything about it.

With that in mind, Liu Xing applied for fast sleep from KP Chopsticks.

The next morning, Liu Xing woke up early.

The reason was simple; the beds of the Ancient Ones were quite different from human beds. Given the vast difference in body size, Liu Xing woke up feeling a bit stiff and sore from sleeping.

Arriving in the living room, Liu Xing found Chrisiano already awake.

Chrisiano looked at Liu Xing and smiled, saying, "Mr. Ryuusei, you must have met my compatriot who was staying in the Soul Casket. What are his thoughts on his new body? Considering he’s someone capable of using the Soul Casket, I assume he has strict requirements for his new body."

Liu Xing knew that Chrisiano was also trying to manipulate him to uncover Sirius’s true identity, to ascertain whether Sirius knew his true situation.

So, Liu Xing smiled and replied, "As Mr. Chrisiano said, he has decided not to use the facilities here to reshape his body, so I’ll have to trouble you later."

Chrisiano nodded, patting his chest, "No problem, consider it done. And I might need your help later, Mr. Ryuusei, as I no longer have the status of the Ancient Ones. There might be complications when entering the Ancient Ones’ ruins, so I’ll need your help with permissions... Of course, I won’t let you help for nothing. If you need my assistance in the future, just let me know."

Liu Xing nodded, saying, "No problem. Now, to help the one in the Soul Casket reshape his body, I’ll need to go to some Ancient Ones’ ruins to gather materials and information... But come to think of it, I sent those data into the Soul Casket, and the person there said this research facility would be scrapped after this round of experiments."

Chrisiano furrowed his brow, then nodded, "Indeed, there’s a possibility. Back when I was in office, I heard that some research facilities had this function because the Ancient Ones anticipated that it would be impossible to obtain new research data and intelligence from certain research facilities or military bases during the Great Retreat. So, they prepared a timed scrapping system in these research facilities. But our luck seems to be quite bad this time, encountering a facility slated for scrapping as soon as we arrive."

"Yes, so I think we must leave the research facility early, or else we might be trapped inside. Of course, we have another option, which is to leave the facility through a loophole in the warehouse," Liu Xing said earnestly.

Chrisiano nodded, saying, "It’s best to leave through the main entrance of the research facility because I suspect there might be issues with the teleportation this time, like only transporting a portion of the medium-sized synthetic beasts into the research facility. So, if we leave from the warehouse, we might encounter a large number of small synthetic beasts. If we leave through the main entrance of the research facility, at least we can assess the situation around Myriad Beast Mountain."

The main entrance of the research facility was halfway up Myriad Beast Mountain.

So, Liu Xing and Chrisiano decided to leave through the main entrance of the research facility.

At this time, Zhang Wenbing and others also arrived in the living room.

After breakfast, everyone went about their business, while Liu Xing’s main concern now was to continue to the laboratory to retrieve data for research.

Returning to his room, Zhang Jingxu and the others followed closely behind.

"Ryuusei, how’s it going?" Zhang Jingxu asked.

Liu Xing shrugged, explaining his situation in the Soul Casket.

"I see, I didn’t expect Chrisiano to have such a dark history," Zhang Wenbing sighed.

So, Liu Xing, along with Buke and the others, headed directly to the main entrance of the research facility because Liu Xing knew that Chrisiano must be heading there too.

Twenty minutes later, Liu Xing and the others successfully reached the main entrance of the research facility.

At this point, Liu Xing could already see the situation outside through the main entrance. Myriad Beast Mountain was chaotic; there were no ordinary animals in sight, only small and medium-sized synthetic beasts.

But the good news was that Liu Xing hadn’t seen any large synthetic beasts yet.

At that moment, Chrisiano also arrived.

"I didn’t expect this round of experiments to end so soon, but it’s not bad news for us either. After all, there’s nothing worth remembering for us in the research facility now," Chrisiano said.

Liu Xing nodded. There was indeed nothing valuable for them in the research facility now.

At this moment, KP Chopsticks suddenly said, "Now, please choose a representative among you for a lucky judgment. The result of this lucky judgment will affect the direction of the next module’s plot... Well, let me be honest with you. This lucky judgment will determine how many synthetic beasts you will encounter next."

Liu Xing and the others looked at each other, and Zhang Wenbing spoke up, "Let me do it. I’m quite confident in my lucky judgment."

So, Zhang Wenbing was in charge of this lucky judgment.

Zhang Wenbing, 23/88, succeeded.

88?

Liu Xing looked at Zhang Wenbing with some surprise. He hadn’t expected Zhang Wenbing’s lucky value to be 88.

That was a very high value.

After all, luck couldn’t be seen or touched, so lucky values couldn’t be improved through training like strength or education values. Generally, players couldn’t increase their lucky values, so they could only rely on the initial lucky values randomly assigned by the character card.

And Zhang Wenbing’s 88 lucky value was obviously improved later, because the initial values on the character card were all multiples of 5.

It seemed that Zhang Wenbing had also had some adventures, raising his character card’s lucky value to 88.

But now the most important thing was that Zhang Wenbing’s lucky judgment was a difficult success, so their group shouldn’t encounter too many synthetic beasts later.

At this point, the system broadcasted again, "There are thirty seconds left until the end of the experiment. Researchers, please enter the designated location to receive research data..."

Then, the countdown began.

When the countdown reached fifteen seconds, Liu Xing requested the system to open the main entrance of the research facility.

So, when the countdown reached five seconds, the main entrance of the research facility finally opened.

At that moment, just as the synthetic beasts outside reacted and were about to attack Liu Xing and his group, a white light flashed, and those synthetic beasts disappeared without a trace.
