"No." Luo Lan shook his head. "We're just guessing. In the past, it was too difficult for the Li Consortium to implement complex programming for the nanomachines, so the nanomachines could only perform extremely basic operations. As a result, we didn't pay too much attention to it. But it's very likely that they've achieved a technological breakthrough now."
Ren Xiaosu had thought it would be some earth-shattering research result related to supernatural beings, but it turned out to be some nanomachines. When he heard that, he decided to leave.
This kind of research result might be useful to the large consortiums, but it was worthless to Ren Xiaosu. A slacker like Ren Xiaosu did not even know what the nanomachines were like. He had never fucking heard of them before.
Actually, Ren Xiaosu also had his own understanding of science. If he had never heard of it before, he would just treat it as superstition.
Moreover, up until now, Luo Lan and the others were only guessing. No matter how much they guessed, they still could not come up with a definite answer. Ren Xiaosu would definitely not waste his time on such an uncertain matter.
Luo Lan said, "How about this? If you help me get my hands on the research information, I'll pay you."
"Since y 'all like guessing so much, why don't you guess if I'll help you?" Ren Xiaosu chuckled.
"I guess you will!" Luo Lan said excitedly.
"Guess again!"
Luo Lan said, "See, I was the one who told you about the Experimentals."
"Thank you," Ren Xiaosu said in a serious tone.
"Forget it." Luo Lan waved it off helplessly. "If you don't want to help, then forget it. Let me tell you something else. Those Experimentals might have a very powerful existence, and they're actually experimenting on themselves. Just thinking about it makes me feel terrified."
Ren Xiaosu was taken aback. "What do the Experimentals do if they don't experiment on themselves?"
This time, it was Luo Lan's turn to be taken aback. "That sounds reasonable."
Ren Xiaosu ignored Luo Lan and planned to return to the courtyard they had rented. At this time, Yan Liuyuan and Wang Fugui were already waiting there.
When he left, Ren Xiaosu turned back to look. He saw that Yang Xiaojin was still on top of the building. She seemed to be covering for someone while firing.
At this moment, he was surprised to see a familiar face appear in the distance. It turned out to be Stronghold 109's overseer, Lu Yuan!
As Lu Yuan walked forward, everyone who tried to stop him exploded into a bloody mist. So … Lu Yuan was actually from the Thugs?!
For some reason, Ren Xiaosu suddenly felt that many of the riddles in his heart were easily solved at this moment.
It was no wonder Yang Xiaojin and the others could easily obtain the status of stronghold residents.
It was no wonder that Yang Xiaojin could easily apply for a student registration.
It was no wonder Lu Yuan immediately called the Public Order Division to release him after Old Wang was arrested and sent to the Public Order Division.
It was no wonder Yang Xiaojin wanted to set Luo Lan up. It was because Luo Lan had slapped Lu Yuan, and Yang Xiaojin was standing up for her companion.
When Lu Yuan saw Ren Xiaosu, he greeted him with a smile. Lu Yuan appeared a lot more cheerful at this moment. It was as though he was very happy after revealing his hidden identity.
But the only thing Ren Xiaosu could not figure out was that his student registration should have been handled by Lu Yuan as well. Since Yang Xiaojin had enrolled two days earlier than Ren Xiaosu, Yang Xiaojin clearly knew that he would be attending school and which school he would be attending!
Ren Xiaosu had always wondered why Yang Xiaojin would go to school since she did not have any goals in school. So it turned out that it was because he was right under the lights. Yang Xiaojin's goal was actually him!
Was it because she wanted to observe him up close, or was it because of something else?
Ren Xiaosu suddenly felt that these people were trying to recruit him into the Saboteurs, right?
But Ren Xiaosu could not be bothered to think about this right now. He immediately turned around and left.
The courtyard house that Old Wang rented was not far from the university campus, so Yan Liuyuan and the others also heard the gunshots. When Ren Xiaosu pushed open the door and entered, everyone who was waiting anxiously heaved a sigh of relief.
The courtyard was filled with people. There were students and Jiang Wu, and there was even a pile of bicycles next to them.
Sister Xiaoyu asked, "Xiaosu, what was that gunshot just now? Are you alright?"
"I'm fine." Ren Xiaosu said, "Everyone, get on your bikes. We're leaving the stronghold right now!"
No matter what would happen in the stronghold, Ren Xiaosu's top priority was not to seize anything but to get everyone out of here first!
With so many lives at stake, Ren Xiaosu could not be willful.
The group of people quickly followed Ren Xiaosu out the door. Everyone was carrying a backpack with their supplies inside.
After everyone got on their bikes, Yan Liuyuan hesitated for a moment and asked, "Bro, why are you carrying your bike?"
Ren Xiaosu snapped, "I'm just afraid my bike will break! Stop talking nonsense and hurry up and head for the stronghold gate! "
…
As Li Shentan walked down the deserted streets of the stronghold's Western District, the people from the other districts probably still did not know what had happened here. The little girl named Si Liren suddenly floated up from behind him. Her feet did not even touch the ground.
"I was afraid the bell wasn't loud enough, so I struck it a few more times," Si Liren said with a smile.
"Well done." Li Shentan said with a doting smile, "The Li Consortium's people should be pleasantly surprised now."
"But why did we do that?" Si Liren asked curiously.
Li Shentan stood still and looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar streets on both sides of the road. He recalled, "My mother married into the Li Consortium a long, long time ago. She said it was for my sickly father's good fortune. At first, his condition did improve, but the good times didn't last long. They hadn't even gotten married for a few years before my sickly father died."
"My mother raised me in the Li Consortium. Later, she fell in love with a young teacher and wanted to remarry." Li Shentan said with a sigh, "Actually, it's only human nature, right? But the Li Consortium feels that women who marry into an organization will be a member of the organization for life. If my mother remarried, it would be a disgrace to the Li Consortium."
Si Liren listened quietly. "What happened after that?"
"After that?" Li Shentan thought for a moment and said, "After that, the Li Consortium escorted her out of the stronghold on this very street we're standing on and buried her alive. I don't even know where she was buried."
But at this moment, a Shadow Door suddenly opened not far behind Li Shentan. Luo Xinyu asked from behind the Shadow Door, "What crimes did the other residents of this stronghold commit?"
Li Shentan looked at the Shadow Door and said with a smile, "Why are you hiding behind the door? Aren't you going to come out and say hello to your friends?"
Luo Xinyu snapped, "I know you can hypnotize people with just a look. Don't try to trick me. You haven't answered my question yet."
Li Shentan smiled and said, "That day, I cowardly hid on the side of the street and watched as the vehicle escorting my mother passed by. On that day, all the residents of the Western District came to watch. Some people ridiculed and some people jeered, but no one was willing to plead for her. So they were all guilty."
Later, Li Shentan went crazy and was sent to a psychiatric hospital.
After a brief period of losing himself in the psychiatric hospital, he became the legendary Demon Whisperer. It was as though he was the new spokesperson of Hell in the mortal world.
It was no wonder no one had been able to find out Li Shentan's identity. It looked like the Li Consortium had also treated him as a disgrace, so they erased all traces of him and his mother.
