Chapter 417 The truth about Yin Yang Lao (6.4k)
"General team leader."
In front of the gate of the shrine, an old woman over eighty years old walked towards her with anxious steps. The wrinkles on her face were swaying like reeds. Her steps were so eager that she almost tripped over her white priest uniform.
She came to Yamashiro Ren, trying her best to stay calm on her face, but her panicky look betrayed her anxious heart at the moment.
"How's the situation?"
Yamashiro Ren slowly descended from the air, with a stern expression on his face, and casually dropped an experimental subject with a panicked face.
"There are a total of thirty-four experimental subjects, and more than half of them have escaped!"
The old woman said anxiously: "The rest of the experimental subjects who wanted to escape have been controlled, but there are still more than ten people who have escaped from the Yin and Yang House and fled in all directions!"
"Although there are people with abilities chasing after them, every experimental subject has eaten peaches. I don't know if they can be captured..."
Before she could finish her words, Yamashiro Ren gave her a hard look.
"I wonder if I can get him back? Is this what you, the person in charge of Yin Yang Lao, should say?"
"This is all my fault."
When the old woman heard this, she suddenly choked, looked ashamed, and lowered her head.
"Explain to me clearly what happened today in the most concise language!"
Yamashiro Ren ignored her self-blame at all, his expression did not improve at all, and he ordered in a cold voice.
"yes……"
The old woman nodded quickly and told everything about today.
In fact, at the beginning, no one in the Yin Yang House noticed anything, but at a certain moment, the experimental subjects underground suddenly started to riot.
The chaos occurred inside the Yin-Yang Lao. The experimental subjects who escaped from the laboratory shared the same hatred and defeated the ability users who blocked the way with the anger of being tortured for a long time. Then they escaped from the Yin-Yang Lao and fled in all directions.
The riot by the experimental subjects happened so fast. Even she had just received the news. She knew something was wrong and quickly informed Yamashiro Ren.
"According to what you said, the underground experimental subjects themselves rioted? Then they defeated the underground ability user guards and escaped?"
Shancheng Lian frowned immediately when he heard this, and a little suspicion appeared on his cold face.
"That's how it should be."
Seeing her disbelieving look, the old woman showed a little embarrassment and fear in her expression.
"Things happened too fast, and we still haven't fully figured out what happened..."
"What a waste!"
Shancheng Lian's pretty face turned cold.
Is this turmoil really just an internal experimental subject rioting and escaping?
Yamashiro Ren felt something was wrong.
It is not that there have been riots by experimental subjects in Yin-Yang Lao in the past, but almost all of the riots were suppressed by the ability users of Yin-Yang Lao.
Only once did an experimental subject successfully escape.
The reason why some of the experimental subjects managed to escape that time was because among them there were ability users who were good at hiding and escaping. They escaped from the sight of the Yin Yang Liao ability users. With the help of that ability user, they were able to roughly escape. The whereabouts of a dozen experimental subjects are still unknown.
No, it should be said that he just disappeared.
It was the ugly humanoid ghost that Kyoka Uzen met.
This experiment riot happened so fast. In comparison, it was like someone was secretly directing it. They had planned it all long ago, anticipated various situations, and moved more than half of the experimental subjects as quickly as possible. Taken out.
"... We'll talk about it after the accountability. I'll go get the experimental subjects first. You guys should guard the underground. If something goes wrong, don't blame me for being rude!"
Yamashiro Ren glared at the old woman coldly, a whirlwind surged around his body, and he flew into the sky in the blink of an eye.
It shouldn't have been long since the experimental subjects escaped, and there was no one around here, so there was no place to hide. With her speed, she should be able to catch up quickly and catch the fleeing experimental subjects.
After a while, Ren Yamashiro's figure disappeared under the dark red sky.
Seeing this, the old woman finally breathed a sigh of relief.
If the team leader personally took action, the chaos this time would probably not be too big.
I just hope that not too many people know about the experimental subjects.
"Take her down."
The old woman waved her hand, and immediately two girls in miko uniforms came out from behind the shrine. One on the left and one on the right, they came to the side of the experimental subject who had unfortunately been captured by Ren Yamashiro, and lifted her up.
"Don't come near me! Stay away from me, stay away!"
The experimental subject was about thirty years old, with dark skin all over his body. Only his face was spared. At this moment, when he saw that several people were trying to drag him back underground, his complexion suddenly changed. He screamed and glared at the people fiercely. He waved his hands randomly to push the two people around him away.
The two mikos easily dodged her sharp nails, holding her arms on the left and right and locking them behind her, not allowing her to make any resistance.
"Please stop struggling. There is nothing we can do about it. You should understand this."
The old woman came forward with her waist hunched over, sighed, and looked at the woman with pity.
"We are also very sorry for what happened to you, but in order to prevent more people from experiencing such regrets, your sacrifice is necessary. It doesn't matter. Any price you pay is meaningful."
"Bring her in."
The old woman waved her hand and ordered the two witches to push the woman down.
The two witches were about to lift the struggling woman when they suddenly saw billowing smoke and dust not far away, a gust of wind howling past, and a figure approaching the door of Yin Yang House almost as if teleporting.
"——Can you let me listen to what you just said?"
The silver humanoid monster appeared in front of the shrine gate in the blink of an eye, ignoring the two wary witches, and asked the old woman in front of him in a low tone.
"What is a necessary sacrifice, and what is the price? I really want to ask Granny Mu Guo about the meaning of those words!"
"Are you...the leader of Team Seven, Kyoka Uzen?"
The old woman Mu Guo and Gezi looked at the visitor in astonishment, her drooping old eyes flashing with surprise.
"Mother-in-law Mu Guo also knows my slave form. It seems that I can save myself the unnecessary self-introduction process."
Kyoka Uzen's tone was calm yet full of anger, and her whole body was exuding a compelling and sharp aura.
"Then I would like to ask Granny Mu Guo, what is going on with this person?"
She pointed at the dark-skinned woman being held down by two miko and asked the three people in front of her.
"Help me! Help me!"
The woman who was pinned to the ground raised her head as if she had grasped a life-saving straw.
"They have been locking me up and not letting me out, and they have been doing experiments on me. It hurts, it hurts so much! I don't want to be locked up here anymore, and I don't want to treat my health! I want to go home, I still have I need to take care of my son. He has just entered elementary school. Please be kind and help me get out!"
The woman struggled wildly, trying to escape from the two men's shackles, but was held down tightly and unable to move.
She could only cast a pleading look at Uzen Kyoka, pinning all her hopes on this monster who looked like a human being.
"Please don't listen to her nonsense!"
The expression of the old woman Muguo's mother-in-law changed seriously when she heard this.
She glared at the woman on the ground with a displeased look on her face, annoyed that she said unnecessary words.
Then, she lowered her eyes, pretending to be calm and nodded to Uzen Kyoka.
"Team Leader Yuzen, you must have seen that her current posture is no longer human. Allowing her to return to human society will definitely cause panic. She must be cured in the Yin and Yang dormitory before she can return to the living world. This This is what we at Yin Yang Liao have been doing, so please don’t be surprised.”
Kyoka Uzen suddenly frowned.
There is some truth to this.
This woman now looks very different from a human being. Not only has her skin become pitch black, but her hands have claws. Compared to a human being, she looks like she is transforming into an ugly ghost. Returning to human society in such an attitude will definitely cause an uproar. , leading to panic among ordinary people.
"Isn't this gesture caused by you?"
Although Kyoka Umae felt that Granny Kikununi's words made sense, she was not confused by her words, but followed closely and shouted sharply.
"Didn't you turn them into this?"
"Is that what you thought? This is really a huge misunderstanding!"
When Granny Mu Guo heard this, a kind smile suddenly appeared on her face, and the tension in her heart gradually relaxed.
"Our Yin Yang House is definitely not conducting inhumane experiments to turn humans into monsters. I can swear that if she lies, it will be turned into ashes on the spot. If you still don't believe it, you might as well ask her herself?"
Mother-in-law Mu Guo pointed to the woman who was pressed on the ground.
When the woman heard this, a strong look of urgency suddenly appeared on her face.
"Well, it is indeed my own fault that it became like this, but, but, even though it is like this, I..."
She became incoherent for a while.
Because for her to become like this, it is indeed not Yin Yang Lao's problem.
And Yin Yang Lao has indeed been "rescuing" her.
However, when they made scars on her body, removed body tissues, and injected drugs, who could tell whether these were treatments or human experiments?
"Okay, push her down!"
Grandma Muguo's expression relaxed, and the tension in her heart disappeared, and she ordered the two witches to take the woman down.
"Remember to take good care of her and don't let her come out easily again."
"Wait a minute! I don't want to go back! Old lady, please let me go. I don't want you to save me. Did you hear that...!"
The woman suddenly struggled wildly. Seeing that the door of the shrine was getting closer and closer to her, and that she was about to be pressed into the underground laboratory where the sun was not visible, deep despair and hatred flashed in her eyes.
Kyoka Uzen had a look on her face and instinctively took a step forward.
"Please don't forget that our Yin Yang Lao is also a member of the magic defense team, and what we do is also for the safety of this world."
Granny Kiguchi moved her steps with a smile and stopped in front of Uzen Kyoka.
"If you still think you are a responsible leader of the magic defense team, please leave from here!"
Although she was just an octogenarian, standing in front of Uzen Kyoka made her feel unable to cross over.
That they would turn into such inhuman monsters is their own problem, not the problem of Yin Yang Lao.
Allowing them to return to the human world would cause panic, so they could only be contained here for "rescue". From Kyoka Umae's position as a member of the Demon Defense Force, she could not blame the Onmyo Lao for what they did.
It is impossible to tell whether what they are doing is "rescue" or "human experimentation."
Even in this modern world, various countries collect terminally ill patients from the private sector and conduct experiments on them in the hope of discovering a cure for terminal illnesses.
Can this practice be said to be "human experimentation"? Does it need to be stopped?
Seeing Kyoka Uzen standing there, unable to take a step forward, Granny Kikuni felt very proud.
This little girl is still too young after all.
When it comes to playing with words, how could such a little girl be her opponent?
"Hey, old woman, have you had enough trouble?"
At this time, a cold sneer sounded in the field.
"You talk so funny, what do you mean it will cause panic?"
Kyoka Uzen was stunned for a moment and turned to look behind her.
Grandma Kikuno couldn't help but be stunned, her expression darkened, and she looked at Uzen Kyouka's back.
Roy grabbed the chain wrapped around Hanzen Kyoka's neck, sat on her back, and looked at Granny Kikuni with a sneer in his eyes.
"How to cause panic? Is it just because their bodies become weird, their skin turns black, and their nails grow? Or do they lose their minds and attack passers-by indiscriminately?"
"If it's just because of physical changes that cause panic, then according to you, all the women in the world who have awakened the ability to change their bodies are potential terrorists who can cause panic, right? Kyoka also turned into a monster, Will it also cause panic and be a terrorist?”
There are thousands of abilities awakened by eating peaches, and many of them have abilities that can change the structure of the body's tissues.
Is there any fundamental difference between a person with this kind of ability and a person like Qingyu?
If Qingyu and the others would attack passers-by indiscriminately, then it would cause panic. There was indeed no problem. Roy couldn't say anything, but just a change in appearance would cause panic?
Laughing to death!
This is no longer the age of ordinary people, but the age of superpowers!
Just say that their change was caused by Tao's ability. Who would doubt it?
"Anything that would cause panic is just an excuse for you."
Roy's expression was cold, and he looked condescendingly at the old woman in front of him, his eyes full of malice.
"Your real purpose is to deliberately house people like them in the Yin-Yang House, under the pretext of treatment, to conduct some kind of research that is not allowed in this world, right?"
Mother-in-law Mu Guo's face darkened, and her wrinkled cheeks twitched slightly.
Who is this young man?
Why is he more difficult to deal with than Kyoka Umae, the team leader?
"What exactly is going on? Granny Mu Guo, can you please explain it?"
When Kyoka Uzen came back to her senses, she couldn't help but secretly sigh. For the first time in her heart, she was so grateful that Roy was an insufferable person. No matter what others said, he would maintain his own pace and would not be led away by others.
Unlike her, Granny Mu Guo was able to scare her away in just a few words.
"That was a misunderstanding."
The smile on Mu Guo's mother-in-law's face disappeared and she said with an indifferent expression.
"All matters within the Yin Yang Residence are confidential. Only the team leader has the right to intervene. If Team Leader Yu has any questions, just ask the team leader!"
Granny Mu Guo waved her hand and pushed the experimental woman down.
"Wait a moment!"
Uzen Kyoka immediately took a step forward.
"Please think about it carefully."
Grandma Muguo stopped in front of the shrine and looked at the two people in front of her coldly.
"If you break in by force, you will be violating the discipline of the magic defense team. Team leader Yuzen, even if you are the team leader, it will not be easy for you, let alone the man in your body!"
Kyoka Uzen's figure froze.
If you really want to force your way in, you will be fighting against the magic defense team.
By that time, let alone becoming the overall team leader, even if the team leader's position is not stable now, how can he kill all the ugly ghosts in the Demon City?
And once Roy breaks in with her, Yamashiro Ren, who already has a problem with Roy, might take advantage of the situation and take this opportunity to expel him from the seventh group, which is also a huge pain point for her.
"bump!"
When Uzen Kyoka hesitated, Roy jumped off her body, picked up a stone on the ground, and shot it into the shrine gate like a bullet with a swish.
With a single touch, the statue of the god enshrined on the stage shattered like tiles, turning into waste in the blink of an eye.
"you!"
Granny Mu Guo came to her senses and glared at Roy with anger on her face.
The shrine itself is just a disguise, but the statue enshrined on the stage is the hub of the outer barrier of Yin Yang Liao. If the statue is broken, it will not only slap her in the face, but also expose Yin Yang Liao to danger.
This boy actually ruined her good deeds!
"Everyone, gather at the bottom, no one is allowed to escape!"
Mother-in-law Mu Guo could no longer care about concealing anything, and immediately summoned everyone in the Yin Yang Lao and headed for the deepest laboratory underground.
A big incident just happened at the lowest level, with more than a dozen experimental subjects escaping. If a few more experimental subjects were escaped, then she, the person in charge of the Yin-Yang Lao, would be done!
"What did you do?"
Kyoka Uzen looked at Roy blankly, her eyes full of disbelief.
"It seems that I accidentally got into trouble."
Roy nodded and smiled indifferently.
"Don't worry about these details, let's take advantage of the chaos to go in and take a look. They definitely need our help!"
Uzen Kyoka was silent for a while, but nodded in agreement with Roy's statement, walked into the shrine, and headed underground.
Grandma Mu Guo was busy gathering people in order to keep her job. When she saw them coming in, she could only glare at them hatefully, and then go about her business.
The main body of Onmyoliao is located underground. In the underground part, the upper floors are rooms like hospital wards. There are many capable people lying here with more or less injuries on their bodies. Uzen Kyoka has been here before.
It wasn't until she reached the lowest level that she had never seen before that Kyoka Uzen saw the truth here.
More than a dozen women were almost naked in many simple barriers surrounded by hemp ropes. They were almost exposed to the sight of the Yin and Yang Lao when eating, drinking and sleeping. There were a lot of traces of scalpels and needle injections on everyone's body. , some of them still have patches of burns on their bodies...
They all lay there with dejected expressions, as if they were completely numb to reality and no longer had any hope.
The woman I had just seen at the entrance of the shrine was also lying in one of the simple barriers. She was curled up in the corner and silently wiping tears, with unspeakable despair on her face.
When Roy saw this scene, the familiar scenes gradually overlapped with the past in his mind, and malice gradually surged in his eyes.
"Is this what is called 'rescue'?"
Roy looked at that scene and sneered with malice.
"It's really a miracle doctor to cure a person who was originally alive and kicking until he is half dead!"
Roy's heart was full of malice, and he wished he could blow up the Yin Yang Room on the spot.
However, he did not lose his calm, but controlled the familiar that had sneaked in secretly, and hid in the underground of Yin Yang Lao.
Not only does he want to destroy the Yin Yang Liao, but he also wants to end Yamashiro Ren's rule!
Kyoka Uzen looked at the scene filled with despair in front of her, her heart felt like it was being pressed by a big stone, and she was speechless.
At this time, Grandma Mu Guo took the initiative to walk towards the two of them, holding a mobile phone.
When she came closer to the two of them, she handed the phone to Uzen Kyoka with a cold face.
"Jingxiang, it's me."
Yamashiro Ren's voice came from the mobile phone. The sharp whistling sound was like a person in mid-air. He was probably rushing to hunt down the escaped experimental subjects.
"I have already asked from the captured experimental subjects that the reason why they escaped was indeed someone behind the scenes. The leader of the people behind the scenes is the white-haired humanoid you have seen in Group 7 before. Ugly ghost!”
"There is surveillance inside the Yin Yang Residence. That woman has no invisibility. You immediately investigate the whereabouts of that woman, then catch up and capture her!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yamashiro Ren hung up the phone.
The next moment, a figure suddenly appeared in front of everyone. It was clearly an experimental subject. As if they had not yet reacted, the more than ten Yin Yang Liao ability users who were surrounding saw this and rushed forward without hesitation. Her anger and despair imprisoned her in a simple barrier.
An ugly humanoid with white hair?
Something like an ugly ghost in human form is really an arrogant description.
But does this description refer to Qingyu?
Roy's eyes flashed and he looked at Kyoka Uzen who was silent beside him.
"I've already been checked."
Mother-in-law Mu Guo took back her mobile phone and showed the footage captured by the surveillance camera indifferently.
The figure that appeared on the screen was very blurry, but Wakura Aoyu's very conspicuous long white hair could be vaguely seen.
"There are three of them in total. When the experimental subjects fled in all directions, the three of them were mixed in, and they all fled in the direction of the ninth group."
"Team Leader Yuzen, your trespassing into the confidential area of Yin Yang Lao is a disciplinary violation in itself. Now is a good opportunity to make meritorious service!"
Mother-in-law Mu Guo glanced at the two of them coldly, and especially glared at Roy fiercely. Then she turned around and was busy reinforcing the various boundaries of Yin and Yang Lao.
"...Roy, what do you think?"
Kyoka Uzen raised her head and looked at Roy with an inexplicable expression.
There was a trace of confusion in her eyes, and she didn't know what to do for a moment.
After seeing the truth about Yin Yang Lao, she no longer knew whether she should follow Yamashiro Ren's orders.
She felt that she needed to take a quiet moment and think carefully about what to do next, what to believe, and how to do it, instead of fulfilling Yamashiro Ren's orders like a selfless puppet.
"Let's go."
Roy did not hesitate. He took a deep look at the women trapped in the simple barrier, turned around and walked towards the ground.
"If we don't go, Yamashiro Ren will go there in person."
Kyoka Uzen was slightly startled when she heard this, and then suddenly realized.
She quickly cheered up and followed Roy's footsteps, and the two of them rushed towards the ninth group as quickly as possible.
Underground of Yin Yang Residence.
As Yamashiro Ren sent back more and more experimental subjects, the expression on Granny Mu's face gradually relaxed.
Sure enough, the team leader is indeed the team leader. As long as she takes action, no one can escape from her!
As long as she catches all the experimental subjects, she won't cause any serious trouble.
"Crack!"
Suddenly, a flame jumped up.
Mother-in-law Mu Guo was startled and looked in the direction of the flames, only to see streaks of fire suddenly sparkling and encircling the hemp ropes of the experimental subjects. At this moment, they all caught fire and turned into ashes in the blink of an eye.
Mother-in-law Mu Guo stared at this scene dumbfounded, and her scalp felt numb for a moment.
The barrier is destroyed?
Her position as the person in charge of the Yin Yang Lao was also ruined!
When the women who were imprisoned by the simple barrier saw this scene, their faces became excited. They stood up without hesitation and rushed towards the ability users they hated like hungry wolves.
The Onmyoji Bureau rioted again, and more than thirty experimental subjects rushed out.
