Chapter 264: The Divine Plan, Thief Saint Origin, Ning Fengwan PUAed by Xue Jing (Two in One)_2
It was just a glance, but Xue Jing recognized it immediately. This was his purpose for coming here—GOD-098·Wind of All Beginnings.
This thing had nine paths, each functioned the same, but each path was a different color.
Seeing that he had finally found his target, Xue Jing's heart stirred slightly, yet he was not in a hurry.
His gaze shifted, looking at the woman's face.
The woman's appearance was nothing special, just ordinarily pretty, but her eyes were very strange. Her pupils were horizontal bars, like those of a goat, and the white part of her eyes had dense, radial blue lines, which were extremely eerie.
The moment he saw those eyes, Xue Jing instinctively sensed a feeling of danger.
Instantly, he didn't hesitate to have the Nonexistent Beast swallow him into invisibility.
"Hmm?"
The goat-eyed woman's gaze shifted slightly, and she looked toward the corner where Xue Jing had been.
"Sister Kui, what's wrong?"
The young man beside her asked, puzzled.
Sister Kui did not reply but stood up and walked toward the place where Xue Jing had been, continuously surveying the area, the blue lines in her eyes twinkling with a faint light.
After a long while, having discovered nothing, she remained silent for a while, shook her head, and said,
"It's nothing... probably just another hallucination."
The young man frowned, "Why are the hallucinations so frequent today? Could it be that the mutation rate has increased again? Is this a sign of the Mutative Disease?"
Experience more on empire
Sister Kui said indifferently, "It's fine, just inject this, and it will be okay."
The young man protested anxiously, "Another injection!? This kind of strong inhibitor can directly erode Consciousness, and an overdose means permanent damage! Even changing bodies won't bring it back!"
Sister Kui's tone was unflustered, "As long as the 'Divine Plan' can succeed, this price is nothing, the one in Cangting will naturally bless me..."
The young man, showing dissatisfaction, said, "That old fool hasn't shown his face at home for over a hundred years, who knows if he's even still alive... Suddenly dropping orders on us to start this 'Divine Plan'..."
"So many families are also underway with the plan, the Little Wu Family even started researching twenty years before us, and they haven't made any breakthroughs, we started so late, how could we possibly make any progress? Probably the higher-ups are deceiving you..."
Sister Kui pondered for a moment and then said, "It's different..."
"Xu Mude somehow managed to strike a deal with the New Beiyang Council, obtaining part of 'Adam's' flesh... it's because of this that the one in Cangting ordered to commence the 'Divine Plan'."
"This is also why the plan has Xu Mude in charge and why the first batch of 'Divines' will use his genes..."
The young man's eyes widened in shock, "Is that so!?"
He murmured, "So that's it... no wonder even though we already got the 'Wind of All Beginnings,' they still made Sister Kui implant these eyes..."
Sister Kui spoke indifferently, "Enough, hurry up and bring me the inhibitor."
The young man quickly complied, "Yes."
As the injection entered her body, the radial blue patterns in the whites of Sister Kui's eyes gradually faded.
Her eyes showed fatigue as she spoke, "I need to rest for a while... keep watch, and if anything strange occurs, do not hesitate, and use the Wind of All Beginnings immediately..."
The young man patted his chest, assuring, "Don't worry, Sister Kui, leave everything to me, you just rest well!"
"Mm..."
...
Twenty minutes later.
In a certain area of the laboratory, a small, silent void opened quietly.
A pair of eyes appeared from the rift, observing the outside for a while before a shadow slipped out and quickly moved to an inconspicuous corner.
From within the shadow, Xue Jing's gaze turned to the goat-eyed woman, who was currently sitting on the ground with her eyes closed, leaning against a wall corner, apparently resting.
After confirming that she had no reaction, Xue Jing then looked at the young man, but after a mere glance, dismissively withdrew his gaze, and then looked toward the faint red Wind of All Beginnings inside the transparent cover.
The shadow moved slowly, passing through the blind spots of the two people's vision, gradually approaching the Wind of All Beginnings.
Xue Jing gauged the distance, stopping six meters away from the Wind of All Beginnings.
He didn't rush to act, instead focusing on the young man who was watching a holographic image of an article on his bracelet.
Xue Jing, having excellent vision, saw some of the content of the article.
[... As a byproduct of ■■■, the only Divine Relic birthed through human hands, the specialty of 'Adam'...]
[... It itself is devoid of any signs of consciousness...]
[... The special substance we extracted from Adam, we call it the 'Divine Factor'...]
Being positioned behind the young man, Xue Jing's view was partially blocked, preventing him from seeing the entire article.
However, he was particularly sensitive to the word 'Divine,' and seeing the term 'Divine Factor' in the article immediately caught his attention, and he noted it.
Regardless of whether the 'Divine Factor' truly referred to the Divine discussed in the article or if it was just a coincidence in name, he decided to investigate this further once he got back.
As for how to do the investigation... he naturally had the connections.
A little investigation by Youqing, and you'll know.
Xue Jing quietly waited for an opportunity.
Suddenly, it seemed the young man had looked for too long and instinctively changed his posture, turning his head to the other side.
On this side, his field of vision was suddenly cut off from the Wind of All Beginnings.
Xue Jing waited for this moment, without any hesitation, controlled the Nonexistent Beast, its invisible mouth opened, and instantly swallowed the pale red sphere of wind.
