"The organization 'Black Net' is an organization that I founded with my own hands. It's almost as powerful as the Sacred Palace.
"My original intention was to develop the 'Blacknet' into an underground organization consisting of half machinists and half warriors. It would work together with the Machinists Guild to maintain order on the continent and prevent another hundred-year war from breaking out.
"Unfortunately, too many organizations in history ended up developing in the opposite direction of their founding goals."
Cromwell said calmly. As the 'Blacknet' continued to grow, many members of the organization had different thoughts, and the direction of development deviated from the founding goals.
This situation had actually occurred a long time ago, but with Cromwell's arrogance, he naturally did not take it to heart. He had the ability to control everything.
This was indeed the case, but the premise was that Cromwell was always around …
"Beep …"
Cromwell pressed a button, and a cylindrical jar rose from the laboratory. It was filled with thick, light black culture fluid.
There was a creature in the jar. Rays of light flashed across, and the structure of the creature appeared.
"This is …"
Hayashi River's eyes focused. He saw the back of the creature. There was a black dot in the middle of the spine. It was the size of a thumb. It was a device made of [Blazing Alloy].
"This is the core device of the [Undying Warrior] that I've been researching. It's a semi-finished product …"
This research had been carried out when Cromwell was young. However, he had been involved in too many things, and the progress of this research had been slow.
According to Cromwell's original plan, he was prepared to complete this research when he was old and let the abandoned land rest in peace.
Unexpectedly, he discovered that the higher-ups of the 'Blacknet' were in contact with the people in the abandoned land's laboratory. They were using this research to create a semi-finished [Undying Warrior].
However, he discovered this too late. This video was recorded before Cromwell fought the Oceanic Beast Army.
Because of his friendship, he did not kill the 'Blacknet' completely. He did not have enough time to wipe out the 'Blacknet' completely.
"Kid, if you see this in the future, it means that I did not wipe out the 'Blacknet' completely. Perhaps I fell in that battle, or perhaps I didn't completely erase it out of consideration for our friendship. "
"However, I've already made arrangements for the Black Net."
"On the other hand, I don't have a good candidate for how to deal with the abandoned laboratory and the secret room."
"Then, let's make a deal …"
Buzz buzz …
The surrounding scenery changed, revealing the layout of this secret room. Hayashi River saw a cabinet with pieces of [Blazing Alloy], each piece as big as a soccer ball.
"Gulp …"
Hayashi River couldn't help but swallow his saliva. These [Blazing Alloy] were too tempting. As expected of the rich Cromwell.
The scene kept changing, and Hayashi River finally saw the location of the secret room. It was under the laboratory in the abandoned land. It was built by Cromwell in secret, and no one knew about it except him.
"First, I'll tell you the reward for the transaction. It's this secret chamber."
"The content of the transaction — go to the abandoned land for me. If the abandoned land laboratory is still in operation and hasn't deviated from its original purpose, then don't worry about it. If it's still carrying out this kind of human experiment, then destroy it. "
"In that secret chamber, I've prepared a complete plan. You'll understand when you get there."
"If you agree, then press it …"
The surrounding scenery changed, and rays of light converged, forming a button again.
Hayashi River didn't hesitate and pressed it immediately.
Cromwell's voice came, "Then, the deal is set."
"In two days, I'll be going to fight the sea beast coalition of the five seas. Then, good luck to each other, little friend …"
The surrounding scenery started to disintegrate, slowly disappearing like smoke. A stream of information flowed into Hayashi River's mind, allowing him to understand how to go to that secret room and how to open it.
Swoosh!
When he came back to his senses, Hayashi River returned to the laboratory. Blue Kitty was jumping up and down, calling out anxiously.
Seeing Hayashi River, the little fellow scurried over and raised the light screen to type, "Meow … Master, are you okay …"
"I'm fine."
Hayashi River picked up the little cat and was in a daze. Was this holographic simulation disk part of Cromwell's will?
However, after the battle with the sea beast army, Cromwell didn't die. The invincible era of the continent's madman had actually begun at that time.
Then why was this box in the safe box?
The 'Black Net' was still here today. Had it been purged?
Hayashi River frowned. It seemed that he could only find the answer after entering the abandoned land.
"Luckily, Cromwell was well-prepared …"
He pressed the button on the box again. With a click, the box split open from the middle, and a ring appeared.
This was a stone ring with exquisite patterns. It looked like a good piece of art.
Playing with it in his hand, he injected a strand of [Materialized Spiritual Energy] into the ring. The ring immediately changed into a pure crystal, and there were countless numbers spinning inside the ring.
After putting it on, an invisible energy shield enveloped him. A light frame appeared on the [Sensory Goggles], and the numbers flowed like a waterfall.
This ring was not only the key to the secret room, but it could also completely isolate the chaotic energy flow and the [Undying Warrior]'s detection in the abandoned land.
Coupled with Hayashi River's current concealment method, he could enter the secret room without anyone noticing.
"What an amazing masterpiece!"
Lin Chuan gasped in amazement. Regardless of whether it was the ring or the box, they were both products that contained all sorts of advanced technology.
He toyed with the ring for a while until it turned back into a stone ring. Then, he picked up a chain and put the ring on it before hanging it around his neck.
After putting the box away, Hayashi River carried the Blue Kitty out of the lab. He had to pack his luggage and return to the Cracked Scale Canyon immediately.
…
In the afternoon.
Cracked Scale Prefecture, the administrative building.
People came and went on the streets. It was as crowded as usual, but it was filled with an aura of panic.
In a cafe, Hayashi River, who was disguised as a white werewolf, heard a shocking news.
"The consul committed suicide by jumping off a building?"
Hayashi River's eyes widened. The disguised white werewolf had a pair of big, lively eyes.
"Yes. Sir. Just the day before yesterday. "
The waiter served a cup of coffee and took the tip from Hayashi River. His attitude became even more respectful, and he told Hayashi River about the big news the day before yesterday.
In the wee hours of the day before yesterday, the consul jumped off the top floor of the administrative building. His body was torn into pieces.
After an investigation, the consul committed suicide.
However, the officials did not approve of this investigation. Many people believed that it was a homicide. The White Dwarf Army and the Iron Blade Guards were searching for the suspect.
What was even stranger was that the consul's wife, Cynthia, had also disappeared the day before yesterday. She was still nowhere to be found.
"This is big news …"
Hayashi River murmured. The image of the consul appeared in his mind. It was an old white dwarf.
Then, Cynthia's graceful figure appeared …
"Isn't that so … Two days ago, the prefecture was in a mess. Now it's a little calmer."
The waiter chattered on, telling all kinds of rumors. Some said that Cynthia's disappearance was due to her elopement with her lover.
There were also rumors that it was a crime of passion. Among Cynthia's many lovers, someone wanted to monopolize this beautiful woman and had made a meticulous plan.
"I also heard that the Iron Blade Guards found the suspect and went deep into the Cracked Scale Forest …"
Hayashi River listened to the waiter's gossip. The change in the Cracked Scale Commandery was too unexpected.
Originally, he returned to the Cracked Scale Commandery because he wanted to use his powerful detection methods to probe Cynthia and the Iron Blade Guards.
After practicing the [Blood Spirit Ritual], Hayashi River already understood that Cynthia's charming technique was a kind of spiritual energy utilization.
However, this kind of charming technique was usually innate and not a talent of the human race.
This was very interesting …
There was also the person in the Iron Blade Guards who had the Black Net imprint. Hayashi River wanted to use that person to probe the current situation of the "Black Net".
As for the secret chamber in the abandoned land, he was not in a hurry. It was very dangerous to go deep into the Cracked Scale Forest, even with the ring.
Moreover, so many years had passed. Who could guarantee that there were no other changes there?
Now that Cynthia was missing, the Iron Blade Guards, as the security force, were all out to search for the suspect. His plan was in a mess …
Beep beep …
Pressing on the sensor goggles, a series of images appeared. Hayashi River drank his coffee while monitoring the surroundings, but to no avail.
There were no traces of the "Black Net" in Yate Highland City in the Cracked Scale Commandery.
"Cynthia is missing. Let's go to the Iron Blade Guards again …"
Hayashi River got up, hailed a taxi, and went to the security building, the headquarters of the Iron Blade Guards.
Along the way, there was a beep, and a video was transmitted. After zooming in, it was a burly human.
He wore a fitting windbreaker and carried a leather suitcase. His black hair was loose, and his cold eyes were like a dead man's. He stood on the street and stared at a building next to the security building.
The man looked at the sky and took out a card with the picture of the Black Net on it.
Whoosh!
The card disappeared between his fingers, and the video was played in slow motion. The card could be seen spinning rapidly, and then it shot into the crack of the window on the second floor of the building.
Then, the man smiled coldly, turned around, and left, disappearing into the crowd.
Then, the window on the second floor opened, and an elderly woman stood by the window, holding the card.
On her wrist, there was a faint scar. Under the scar and connective tissue was a torn Black Net imprint.
Beep beep …
After analyzing the data, the information of the building was quickly obtained.
"The Cracked Scale Commandery Orphanage …" Hayashi River muttered to himself.
