A 'Ji pursed his lips at the second file. "As for this guy, he's a serial killer who has been wreaking havoc in Dragon City for a few years. There are thirty-seven victims who died in his hands, and there are plenty of innocent souls whose names we can't even find.
"Hence, this guy has also been ranked in the top two hundred of the Supernatural Tower's bounty list.
"Unfortunately, he's always been secretive, and no one has ever been able to find anything against him. Once his crimes were exposed, he immediately changed his appearance and snuck into the lair, which is why the cases he committed turned into old cases that can't be solved.
"There's also this guy. He's the mastermind of the Family 529 Massacre three years ago. Due to a dispute over a crystal trade, he killed a family of twelve people who had been working with him for many years. He even set fire to the crime scene and caused the fire to spread. It burned down two houses and nearly one hundred innocent neighbors. At that time, he was ranked ninety-ninth on the bounty list."
A 'Ji pointed out the identities of the experimentals in the photos.
They were either vicious bandits or inhumane serial murderers. Each of their hands was stained with blood, and there were at least dozens of wronged souls entangled in them.
With their innumerable crimes, they were peerless villains who would not mind being cut into pieces.
Of course, when they landed in Saber Jin Wanhao's hands, they were subjected to experiments that were even crueler than being cut into pieces. Their deaths were ten times more painful than being cut into pieces.
A 'Ji told Meng Chao and Lu Siya that since around thirty years ago, there had been rumors in Dragon City that the lair was a paradise for criminals and a haven for wanted criminals with bounties.
There were indeed countless infamous wanted criminals who committed heinous crimes. Once they were cornered in the outside world, they fled into the lair and vanished without a trace. They remained free from the law.
Hence, many of the superhumans' first thought after they went through spirit energy deviation and committed heinous crimes was to flee into the lair.
But they did not know that this was a rumor Saber Jin Wanhao had intentionally spread.
His goal was to "bait" the wanted criminals into the lair so that he could kill them.
Indeed, the environment in the lair was bad. There were all sorts of people here, and the atmosphere was foul. When the secret police and bounty hunters entered the complicated maze, they usually ended up feeling dizzy and returned without any results.
But this was the same for wanted criminals who had just arrived in this place.
To avoid the pursuit of the secret police and bounty hunters and exchange their criminal gains for resources that could be used in the lair so that they could continue living luxuriously and happily in the lair, they had to come into contact with the gangs. In fact, they even dreamed of obtaining Saber Jin Wanhao's protection.
As the master of the lair, Jin Wanhao naturally had ten thousand ways to capture the wanted criminals without anyone noticing.
The information and data they found was just for the tip of the iceberg.
Over the past twenty to thirty years, Saber Jin Wanhao had secretly captured more than one hundred wanted criminals and sent them all to the underground demonic cave.
First, he would interrogate them with the cruelest methods and find out where the proceeds of their crimes were hidden. Then, he would exploit the last drop of their bone marrow and blood to fill up Jin Wanhao's own 'treasure'.
Then, he would use these people as cultivation tools and use them to verify the brand new fighting techniques, spirit energy magnetic fields, and gene medicine that Jin Wanhao developed.
In short, he would not waste even a single bone of these fellows. He was determined to squeeze out all of their value until they were completely burned to ashes.
Meng Chao and Lu Siya were terrified.
He did not expect that over the past thirty years, countless wanted criminals who seemed to be living freely in the lair would end up in Jin Wanhao's hands.
Of course, these wanted criminals deserved to die.
Jin Wanhao's methods were truly sinister and vicious.
As the saying went, a general's success was built on the bones of ten thousand people. Naturally, there were even more corpses and flesh buried under the path to the Underground Emperor.
"Based on what you're saying, over the years, Saber Jin Wanhao's subordinates have never killed a single innocent person?" Meng Chao asked tentatively.
"To fight for the control of the lair and the business interests in the gray area, fighting and killing are unavoidable."
"But there have never been any normal people or innocent people in this secret lab. The people who died here are all infamous people on the bounty list.
"If you don't believe me, once you leave this place, you can go to the Supernatural Tower's database and search for the data of these wanted criminals. I guarantee that it's the same.
"If you think about it carefully, you'll understand that there's no need for Jin Wanhao to capture normal people to conduct his research.
"Normal people have weak bodies. The martial arts and medicine that are suitable for them are different from the ones that are suitable for Jin Wanhao.
"Besides, even if Jin Wanhao really wanted to test the effects of certain martial arts and medicine on normal people, as long as he was willing to spend money, there would be a large number of volunteers in the lair and Leprosy Village who would fight for them. The testing organizations and outsourcing services in this area are also very mature.
"Since there's a proper path for him to choose, why did he need to be so sneaky and inhumane?
"As for superhumans, if they didn't break the law, they would be protected by the Supernatural Tower. Besides, which superhuman doesn't have friends and family and a complicated network of connections? If they captured such supernatural beings, it would be fine if there were only one or two of them, but if there were so many of them, how could they not leave any traces behind?
"But these wanted criminals are all detestable people. To avoid being captured by the secret police and bounty hunters, they took the initiative to cut off all connections with the outside world. They changed their appearances and hid their names. Aren't they the best prey?
"Even if these people are reduced to ashes in the secret lab and don't appear for eight years or more than ten years, other people will just think that they changed their identities and are still having fun in the lair!
"Say, if Jin Wanhao doesn't capture these people for experiments, wouldn't he be doing a disservice to their identities as' wanted criminals'?"
A Ji laughed strangely.
Even though he was still hanging upside down and could only move one of his arms.
But his casual way of treating the infamous wanted criminal like a pig still gave Meng Chao and Lu Siya goosebumps.
Speaking of which, if Saber Jin Wanhao's cruel experiment only involved wanted criminals who committed heinous crimes, Meng Chao would not think that there was anything wrong with it.
Even though he and Lu Siya acted like model superhumans with an awe-inspiring air when they were in public, Meng Chao and Lu Siya still acted like they were the model superhumans.
But neither of them was morally clean.
To Meng Chao, as long as he could help Dragon City break free from the Apocalyptic Nightmare, a lot of problems were not a problem.
"Then, Jin Wanhao spent his entire life building this secret lab and sacrificed more than one hundred wanted criminals' lives. Just what sort of clandestine experiment is he conducting here?" Meng Chao asked patiently.
Ah Ji rolled his eyes a few times.
In the end, he stared at Meng Chao.
"What do you think?"
A Ji asked slowly. "Saber Jin Wanhao is an Underground Emperor who has already reached Deity Realm. He has peerless strength, dominates an area, and is so rich that he can rival a country. When he is in his twilight years and the injuries he accumulated from fighting and training madly when he was young start acting up, what do you think he wants the most?"
Meng Chao thought about it for a while and said, "Red Brows Su Lun told me that Jin Wanhao built the underground lab to be his personal cultivation room and medical room. He wants to extend his life and at the very least, maintain his fighting strength.
"He also recruited Red Brows Su Lun's mother. She's a talented and talented pharmacist. It's also for the same reason.
"But everything I'm seeing right now doesn't seem to be as simple as extending his life and maintaining his fighting strength."
"Of course it's not."
A 'Ji cackled strangely. "Powerful people of the older generation like Saber Jin Wanhao and Battle God Lei Zongchao are pioneers of life sciences and spirit energy martial arts. When they start exploring blindly, they don't receive any reminders or guidance.
"They might have unparalleled strength when they walk through mountains of corpses, but in the end, they have to pay a devastating price, which is why they are riddled with holes and covered in wounds. Their injuries don't just go deep into their bones, they go deep into their cells and souls.
"If they rely on normal medicine and surgeries to prolong their lives, at most, they will be able to keep their lives for a while, but they won't be able to keep the glory of the Saber and the power of the Underground Emperor. One day, they will be paralyzed in bed and live for thirty years before they die. That's definitely not what Jin Wanhao wants! "
"Then, what does Jin Wanhao want?" Meng Chao asked.
"It's simple."
An incredibly complicated but delighted expression appeared on A 'Ji's face. He said firmly, "Jin Wanhao wants to regain his youth and regain his youth!"
"…"
Meng Chao and Lu Siya were silent for a long time.
For a period of time, they could not tell whether this was a ridiculous joke or a crazy plan that the Underground Emperor had really invested decades of his life, blood, sweat, and resources into.
"Is it possible to regain youth?" Meng Chao mumbled.
"Theoretically speaking, why wouldn't it be possible?"
A 'Ji said. "Meng Chao, you, the Vortex, and many other superhumans and superbeasts have rather terrifying self-healing abilities.
"When wounds appear on your bodies, your cells will split, replicate, and multiply madly, and your wounds will heal at a visible speed.
"Your new skin is as tender as a baby's, which means that the cells in your body have just been born. They're full of life and have endless vitality.
"Since all the cells in your body can be regenerated, as long as you replace all the flesh and blood in your body, why can't humans regain their youth and regain new life?"
Meng Chao originally wanted to say that these were two different things.
But when he thought about it carefully, he remembered that in his previous life, he had seen countless strange races in the boundless Other World. Many of them had abilities that Earthlings could not imagine when they were on Earth.
There were all sorts of strange things in the universe.
In the environment of the Other World, this matter might not be as ridiculous as it sounded.
And Jin Wanhao was the Underground Emperor.
Since ancient times, there was not a single emperor who did not want to live forever.
It was not strange for Jin Wanhao to have such extravagant hopes.
