Chapter 524: Final Preparations

Swoosh!

It was hard to imagine that the speed of going up was faster than that of going down. In less than five minutes, Ye Lan's figure returned to the top floor office of the Broken Research Institute.

Bang!

His legs touched the ground, and Ye Lan immediately disconnected from the cableway, enduring the pain.

Seeing Ye Lan finally return, Bai Taotao breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'm so glad you're okay! How's it going down there?"

"It's hard to describe." Ye Lan was quite anxious. He just glanced out the window and left first:

"Let's go! Let's go back to the control room!"

Bang!

Ye Lan pushed the door open, and the two quickly walked towards the elevator.

Didi!

At the moment the elevator door opened, Lie's servant rushed down in a hurry.

He instantly faced Ye Lan in the opposite direction, and at this moment, even Ye Lan's heart almost skipped a beat.

"Is there something wrong with the control room?" Ye Lan asked directly.

Isn't this the rhythm of normal things? Otherwise, why are you so anxious?

It was just surprising that Lie Pu was stumped by the question.

"Control room? What happened in the control room?"

Ye Lan narrowed his eyes, but was relieved.

No matter what Lie Pu had to come here in such a hurry, at least it was not the one he was most worried about.

But...

Ye Lan looked at Lie Pu up and down with a scrutinizing look.

"So, you came here in such a hurry, is there something to ask us?"

"... Uh." Once again, Lie Pu was asked more unexpectedly and was embarrassed.

He even hesitated a little.

"Actually, I don't have a big deal, I just recalled some... uh, similar things." Lie Pu explained in a mess: "I just want to ask... have you... been here before?"

Ye Lan's eyebrows were slightly raised.

Why is this Lie Pu's state so... hard to describe?

And, what is he talking about?

Have I been here?

This is obviously the first time. The rest of the time, not many people in the trial know that you are here!

"No."

After giving this answer, Ye Lan narrowed his eyes slightly and once again scanned Lie Pu's body with a scrutinizing gaze.

He looked around at himself, as if he wanted to find something on himself, which made Ye Lan simply incomprehensible, but he did not feel any malice from it.

There must be something wrong, but it was too late to think about it.

I must confirm Su Xiaguang's situation immediately! And I can't be delayed for a long time by Lie Pu's inexplicable reaction.

"Go to the control room!"

With Ye Lan's order, he and Bai Taotao quickly set off downstairs again, but Lie Pu followed behind with a confused look on his face.

After moving forward at a rapid speed, Ye Lan finally slammed into the door of the control room.

Bang!

Xia Manman inside was startled and was almost in a state of fighting... This was a break-in!

Seeing Xia Manman safe and sound, Ye Lan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

This was a sign that the control room had not been attacked yet.

Of course, it was not time to let down our guard yet.

"Tao Tao, give her a full body check."

Hearing this, both of them were stunned, but they did not waste time, but their expressions became more serious.

Ye Lan was so cautious...it means that he has indeed discovered something extraordinary.

"You go out."

Of course, Ye Lan ordered Lie Pu, and he left tactfully. Not long after, there were only three people left here.

"Ye Lan, Manman is fine." Bai Tao Tao confirmed Xia Manman's condition after the check.

Ye Lan nodded slightly and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Very good."

"...What happened?" Not to mention Xia Manman, even Bai Tao Tao, who did not drink with Ye Lan to go to the bottom floor, is now a little confused.

After a moment of hesitation, Ye Lan gathered the two together and shared the discoveries they must know one by one.

Not long after, the atmosphere here was quite solemn.

"This broken research institute...the most problematic thing is not the research institute itself?" Bai Tao Tao frowned and extracted useful information, and Xia Manman felt the same way.

"Indeed. And how could there be a gate to the Broken Space here? And... the vessel of the Ancient God's Touch. From my experience in the Tribunal, this is completely unreasonable."

Ye Lan pondered slightly.

"It's not completely unreasonable. Could it be because of these people's identities as Light Seekers, plus the Lord God's attention, that even if they took over such a vessel, no one asked much, and there was no record."

"After all, it is related to the 'Lord God's layout', which requires some secrecy."

Xia Manman frowned slightly, as if thinking.

"It does make sense, but..."

Xia Manman recalled something.

"If I remember correctly, after the Lord God's state was not right in the late stage, he issued a special oracle. The general meaning is that if you find that the instructions of the oracle are completely unreasonable, although you have to follow them, you must keep a record."

"So this thing... I personally think that it is only formal and problem-free if there is a record."

Ye Lan narrowed his eyes.

Obviously, there is absolutely no record of things that even Lie Pu may not know.

"What time is it now?"

"Five o'clock." Xia Manman responded.

"Five o'clock..." Ye Lan thought for a moment and made a plan: "Xia Qingyu will not send any news for another hour, let's make the final preparations first."

"Okay." Bai Taotao and Xia Manman both sat up straight, feeling as if a battle was about to begin: "What preparations are there?"

"Food, equipment, and supplies will be overloaded according to a week's cooperation." Ye Lan touched his chin:

"Wait until six o'clock tonight, and we will finish listening to Xia Qingyu's news. If there are no big problems or the problem is not our first priority, just ignore the Shattered Research Institute and follow me through the door."

"Of course, before that, we must ensure that the Shattered Research Institute is harmless, even temporarily."

Bai Taotao and Xia Manman looked at each other.

This alone... is actually very difficult to implement.

How to make such an obviously problematic place and a group of problematic people harmless?

"Of course, they can't do anything." Ye Lan's eyes flashed slightly, and he called Lie Pu again.

After calling him here, Ye Lan's words were straightforward.

"From now until twelve o'clock tonight, I ask you to close all experimental areas and all experimental personnel and armed personnel to take leave."

Lie Pu's pupils shrank, but Ye Lan's voice continued.

"In addition, all personnel are required to return to their rooms and implement a one-night curfew. They will not accept any reason to leave the room, otherwise they will be arrested immediately and escorted to the surface for interrogation."

"This..." Lie Servant's expression changed wildly.
