Use first and repay later: Advance the future cultivation fruits-Chapter 210 - 137 Past life Chu Hongjun_5

Chapter 210: 137, Past life? Chu Hongjun?_5 Chapter 210: 137, Past life? Chu Hongjun?_5 Lin Qing’s heart stirred, and he subsequently said, “Thank you, Dean Chu, for the reminder.”

“You may leave now, be careful.”

Chu Hongjun gave him one last glance before the holographic projection disappeared.

Lin Qing stood in place in silence for a moment before turning to leave the central control room.

“Master, Chu Hongjun seems…” Chen Guang’s voice rang out.

“I understand,” Lin Qing said slowly, “Dean Chu definitely knows that I have the Chuanxing Tower.”

“He stands at a much higher tier and certainly understands more layers than you, Master,” Chen Guang commented. “It was precisely because my father refused to heed Chu Hongjun’s advice and acted alone that he ended up being captured and executed.”

“I have a sense of measure,” Lin Qing replied with a slight nod.

…

Before long, Lin Qing returned the way he came and arrived in front of the experimental base’s gate.

Just as he was about to step through the gate—

[Current Order Level decreased by 4.9 Levels]

Accompanied by the emergence of a blood-red, eye-catching prompt, Lin Qing’s pupils suddenly constricted.

A decrease of 4.9 Levels?

Even Uleao only caused the Order Level to drop by 3.9 Levels, but now it has plummeted by 4.9?

Each Level represents a difference in danger by tens of times over!

Even the strength of an Inspector might not seem so dangerous now…

Could it be that there’s an enemy of the Inspector’s tier lying in wait for him outside?

His strength was strong now, but he definitely wasn’t a match for an Inspector with a Divine Position.

“In that case…”

Lin Qing took a few steps back, re-entered the interior of the experimental base, and spoke in a low voice, “Chen Guang, there’s someone outside lying in wait for me. It’s obvious that someone has discovered my intrusion into this experimental base. Can you conjecture who it might be?”

“This experimental base completely blocks signals.”

Chen Guang analyzed, “If there’s any possibility of signal leakage, then it could only be the Holographic Communicator. Its transmitter is connected through lines outside the base. If someone had tampered with the communicator in advance, as soon as you used the Holographic Communicator, the other party would naturally discover it.”

Lin Qing fell silent, then said, “Chu Hongjun should know about it. His sudden advice for me to be more cautious at the end, was he warning me?”

He wouldn’t naturally suspect Chu Hongjun.

If such a high-caliber figure wanted him harmed, there was no need to arrange an ambush.

More importantly, during his conversation with Chu Hongjun, the Order Level had not changed at all, which indicated that Chu Hongjun had no hostility whatsoever.

“I have thought of a possibility.”

Chen Guang suddenly spoke, “It’s the intelligent life that my father left behind. It’s the only entity that could have tampered with the communicator in advance and monitored it constantly.”

“Intelligent life?” Lin Qing frowned slightly.

“Yes, my father named it BOSS.”

Chen Guang said, “The Original Research Institute is still operational, which clearly means someone is managing it; it might be the intelligent life left by my father or someone in collaboration with it.”

She paused, “For you to breach this experimental base, the other party will certainly speculate that you are among the top elites of the Three Star Level Elite Patrol. If they arrange an ambush based on this, the likelihood is that it’s someone of the Inspector tier, that is, a person within the top 10 rankings of the Original Research Institute.”

Top ten?

Lin Qing nodded slightly.

He could confirm, the enemy likely possessed the strength of an Inspector tier.

At the Original Research Institute of the Bright Society, those ranked before NO.1000 were stronger than many One Star Level Elite Patrol.

And the figures before NO.10, their strength was comparable to Inspectors, like Professor Sogur he had met before.

In terms of overall strength, the Original Research Institute was close to that of the Inspection Headquarters!

“Forget it, I’ll just retreat.”

Lin Qing immediately turned to head back inside the experimental base, swiftly made his way to the other end of the base, and then took out a dark golden cone about one and a half meters long with a diameter of 60 centimeters. The cone displayed threads in a spiral pattern, and its inside featured a rotatable slot handle.

—This was something he had specifically crafted for tunneling.

Using this drill head, Lin Qing easily penetrated the walls of the experimental base. He didn’t worry about breaking through the shielding layer; after all, he had taken everything that needed to be taken.

Subsequently, he sensed the Heavenly Orbital Coordinates he had left outside, constructed an invisible Sky Track, and then directly tunneled into the heart of the mountain from the outer walls of the experimental base. The drill head spun rapidly, following the gravitational pull of the Sky Track and continuously cutting through the rock, surging towards the outside of the mountain massif.

“Hiss-hiss-hiss—”

Using the tunneling tool to break through rock was a breeze.

In just a few seconds, Lin Qing had already burst through the layers of rock and soil, emerging amidst the snow-covered mountains.

“Instantaneous Light! Return Coordinate!”

After retracting the tunneling cone, Lin Qing didn’t hesitate to use the Instantaneous Light technique.

In an instant, a pale blue light flashed, and he disappeared without a trace.

Just one second later.

“Whoo!”

A trail of burning black fire suddenly split the night, appearing over this snowy field at a terrifying speed. The snow within a hundred meters evaporated instantly, yet further away remained unaffected.

As the flame dissipated, it revealed a teenager about sixteen or seventeen years old.

The black flames emanated an incredibly horrifying aura, which then slowly converged and vanished.

The teenager took out a communicator and spoke with a somewhat hoarse voice, “BOSS, the intruder has disappeared.”

“Who allowed you to use Black Flame?” A deep voice came from the communicator, “Do you think your life is too long?”

“I’m not meant to live long.”

The teenager said expressionlessly, “I just wanted to catch him quickly; I didn’t expect that he would disappear.”

“I already have a few potential suspects.”

The deep voice inside the communicator continued, “Go back for now. Without my permission, you are not to use Black Flame again. This power surpassing the Sixth Energy Level will only consume your own life.”
