If what Li Rongqi said is true, then the situation might be worse than Ye Shikai and the others expected. At the last wedding, three Mothn had already appeared, so now could there be thirty, three hundred, or even three thousand? If it’s really like this, that would be a "mutant army" capable of threatening the entire Yanjing.
This is truly terrifying the more you think about it. If there really are three thousand Mothn, then even if the National Security Bureau and the Netherworld Palace were to fully mobilize, it would still be like a mantis trying to stop a chariot. However, from the current situation, it seems unlikely that the other side would deploy Mothn on such a large scale.
"Dr. Li, there are rumors about the demon exorcist going around. Are you aware of it?" Ye Shikai got to the point. The main reason they ca to interview Li Rongqi was to confirm whether the demon exorcist was indeed a "product" of the HST project.
"Yes, I know. There was a TV in the ward back then, and I saw it too. Didn’t you...catch him?"
"Actually, he has escaped." Ye Shikai sighed and revealed the truth.
"What, how could this happen."
"Please keep this matter confidential, Dr. Li."
"Oh, of course."
"But the main point is, in a recent confrontation, we discovered that the demon exorcist grew four arms." Ye Shikai said seriously.
"What, four arms." Li Rongqi’s expression was one of disbelief. Probably anyone hearing this news would react the sa way. He’s not Nezha; where did he get three heads and six arms?
"Yes, four arms." Ye Shikai nodded firmly. "That’s why we ca to interview you. Do you think the HST project has this technology?"
"This...theoretically, it’s possible. However, if this is true, then it certainly wasn’t researched by our team. It should be soone else’s developnt based on the Mothn."
"I see. Well, I understand." Ye Shikai nodded. In this case, the demon exorcist might indeed be connected to the Mothn.
However, if the demon exorcist and the mastermind behind the Mothn are in cahoots, then why would he be acting so brazenly, claiming to specifically target social scum? With such high-profile behavior, it’s as if he’s afraid people wouldn’t know about him. If he truly is part of the Mothn’s conspiracy, shouldn’t he be operating discreetly?
Moreover, from what he says, Ye Shikai has a vague feeling that the demon exorcist isn’t the type to submit to others. If he really is a test subject of the HST project, then why would he be like this? Shouldn’t he be loyally devoted?
Thinking this way, Ye Shikai had a suspicion that the demon exorcist isn’t allied with the Mothn.
How did he achieve this?
..........................................
"Did he say anything?" Outside the security room, Tianjing nervously awaited and imdiately approached as he saw Ye Shikai co out.
"Well, he did say a few things, but we cannot yet determine whether the demon exorcist is related to the HST project." Ye Shikai sighed. The thing about technology is that developing it is difficult, but once leaked and obtained, "knocking it off" becos easy. Therefore, all research organizations strictly guard their research results, and those who leak privately might even face legal consequences.
"Then what should we do?"
"Those people don’t know the truth, but to play it safe, they will definitely co to kill Dr. Li. So for now, we should protect him first."
"No problem."
"Demon exorcist, Mothn." Ye Shikai muttered, suddenly feeling bewildered. Behind all this, there is an even larger platform.
"By the way, do you have a backup of the report on Refining Mo?" Ye Shikai turned around and said.
"The Tomb Spirit Organization is a criminal organization in Hong Kong. In principle, the case was closed by the SAD Special Forces. However, due to the special nature of the case, we at the National Security Bureau also have a backup copy." Tianjing said flatly, "I’ll take you to the archives now."
.......................................
In a villa in Yanjing.
"Master, we...did not silence him." The Poisonous Concubine stood in front of Boss Xing, her expression fearful, and standing before her was none other than Boss Xing.
"Li Rongqi’s life is one we must take, but for now, he has nothing secret to reveal." Boss Xing said coldly, his voice sounding raspy. "How is the progress on the HST project?"
"Uh...still in developnt, but there were so issues that require a bit more ti. We’ve already killed a few people; the others don’t dare delay." The Poisonous Concubine continued.
"The Master has been urging this matter constantly. If he gets impatient, we won’t have a pleasant outco." Boss Xing said plainly.
"Yes, I will follow orders."
"How are the assassins sent out doing?"
"The usual routine, they took the tid poison before setting off. Even if they weren’t killed on the spot, they would already be dead by now."
"Good. By the way, the location of the research base must remain confidential. This idiot Zhao Rou, if not for her carelessness, the Master’s great work would have been completed long ago. You need to be careful in your work, or you should understand well how Zhao Rou ended up."
"Of course, please rest assured, Master." The Poisonous Concubine nodded repeatedly.
"And regarding De’s defection, have you tracked his whereabouts?" Boss Xing turned his head, his gaze sharp as he stared at the Poisonous Concubine. "I heard there’s a famous demon exorcist recently; it must be this kid, right?"
"Yes, but I heard he has already been captured, and the ones who captured him were Ye Shikai and Tianjing from the National Security Bureau."
"Humph, a worthless clown, just a failed experint, yet he caused such a commotion."
"Master, I suspect he did this most likely to take revenge on the organization." The Poisonous Concubine voiced her worry. "If the National Security Bureau finds out that we are related to the demon exorcist, it might expose our research base."
"That would indeed be troubleso. Can you eliminate him?"
"We have the capability, but he’s currently imprisoned, likely with the National Security Bureau, and their security is very tight, making it difficult to take action."
"Haha, then there’s no need to worry. Like Xie Dong, he’s just a failed experint. Without dication, he’ll die just the sa." Boss Xing chuckled coldly.
Bang.
At that mont, the villa’s door suddenly burst open, and the iron door flew out as a man slowly walked in.
"And so, here I am now." The man walked towards the two, his cold and sharp gaze domineering, the newcor was none other than the demon exorcist.
"I didn’t expect you’d actually escape from the National Security Bureau. This is surprising. You should just co back obediently; I can spare your life. Otherwise, neither the organization nor the outside National Security Bureau will let you go."
