Chapter 530 Noticing the Abnormality
The captain of the guard pressed his wristwatch, connected the headset, and said:

"Turn off the alarm. We have the situation under control for now. Let's not disturb this visitor from outer space any further."

"Captain Chen, the alarm went off because the test subjects have malfunctioned. They've broken out of the lab and are causing chaos everywhere. Please evacuate your current location as soon as possible; you're not far from the test subjects."

The voice coming through the headset was clearly anxious.

Captain Chen was taken aback, and immediately gave orders to his team members:
"Quickly, escort them back to the safe zone. There's a problem with the experimental subjects here."

Then Captain Chen looked at Han Lian and Professor Huang and said loudly:
"Gentlemen, please come with me out of here. The experimental subjects in Sector C have rushed out of the lab and are heading this way. Come with me quickly!"

Before she could finish speaking, Han Lian saw the people and monsters rushing towards them. Professor Huang's expression changed, and he said, his lips trembling:

"Madam, let's leave here first. Those test subjects are very powerful."

Han Lian stood still, only frowning as she looked at the creatures that were crawling on all fours, neither human nor non-human. Apart from having a human head, their stretched-out bodies and long, strong limbs looked bizarre no matter how you looked at them. Moreover, these creatures had lifeless eyes and were only focused on destroying everything in their sight.

Just then, a squad of fully armed guards appeared in front of them, and after stopping, they quickly opened fire and killed the humanoid monsters.

The monster seemed to sense the threat, roared and revealed its sharp claws, reaching for the guards' heads. Because of their speed, some of the guards were immediately injured.

Captain Chen had no choice but to lead the remaining men forward, standing in front of Professor Huang. Ignoring his fear of Han Lian, he shouted:
"You go first."

Han Lian calmly stepped forward and said:

"You guys stand down!"

Captain Chen thought he was hallucinating and turned back to look at Han Lian. Then, the members of his team were pushed to the sides of the passageway by a gentle force.

With a slight movement of her fingers, Han Lian summoned countless ice needles that hovered around her. In the next instant, under her divine control, they pierced the hearts and heads of these monsters. The humanoid monster at the forefront was pinned to the wall by four ice needles. The corridor was instantly cleared, and all the humanoid monsters fell to the ground, lifeless.

Captain Chen swallowed hard, feeling that his team had just narrowly escaped death, and his gaze towards Han Lian had changed.

Han Lian, however, appeared before the monster she had pinned to the wall. Her divine sense, forming threads, entered the monster's head, attempting to read its memories. But after three breaths, she withdrew her senses, looking at the monster with some confusion. She then flashed back to Professor Huang's side, saying calmly:
"Professor Huang, let's go to your office to talk."

"Oh! Hmm! Okay!"

Professor Huang could only utter these three words before feeling his legs less weak and slowly walking to his private office.

Captain Chen said to his men:
"I'll take two people to escort Professor Huang and that lady there. You two stay here to assist Team Three with the aftermath."

"Yes, Captain."

Fifteen minutes later, Professor Huang finally arrived at his office door, swiped his palm print to open the door, and politely invited Hanlian inside.

Hanlian said to Captain Chen:

"You don't need to go in. If you're worried, just stay at the door."

What could Captain Chen say? He couldn't win a fight, and the other party had just helped them resolve the crisis. He could only nod and obediently stand guard outside the door. Han Lian spent a day learning about the evolutionary history of Weilan Star from Professor Huang and the materials in his office, and also noticed the anomalies in this world.

What she really wanted to do was soul search, so she could directly obtain the information she wanted to know. However, she knew very well that the souls of the Weilan Star people in front of her were relatively weak and could not withstand her soul search at all. After the search, they would probably be dead.

She had previously tried to search for the monster's soul, only to discover that those monsters had no souls at all, and were like walking corpses.

So she asked Professor Huang, whose eyes were already closed, out of curiosity:

"What are you researching that monster for?"

Professor Huang was utterly exhausted, both physically and mentally, and was already somewhat delirious, but he still forced his eyes open and said:
"They are the product of souls dissipating during reincarnation, not something we deliberately created."

Reincarnation? Soul dissipation?

Han Lian keenly grasped these two words, and then asked curiously:

"What do you mean by 'reincarnation'? And what about the dissipation of the soul?"

Professor Huang forced himself to explain:

"It's not accurate to say 'reincarnation,' because people without souls are mentally challenged even when they grow up. But when a person with a soul's physical body decays, their soul is reclaimed and placed into a new womb, which is another kind of reincarnation."

In this process, some souls will disappear for no reason, resulting in newborn infants without independent consciousness. Then, due to some unknown influence, some of these mentally challenged infants eventually grow into the kind of monsters you have seen.

We kept these monsters that failed to reincarnate for research to find out the reason, not to deliberately create monsters.

Upon receiving this answer, Han Lian's usually calm face revealed a look of surprise for the first time, and she said with some anger:
"You are too audacious to interfere with the duties of the Underworld's Reincarnation Department. No wonder such a monster appears."

This time, Professor Huang looked surprised:

"What is the Reincarnation Bureau? Isn't this how you control the population?"

Han Lian was no longer willing to speak. She had been having a strange feeling ever since she arrived here. She raised her hand and did some divination, but she couldn't even find the Gate of Hell. This made her even more certain of her speculation: this small world was not connected to the underworld, and reincarnation was all man-made.

Han Lian didn't know whether to praise the Wei Lan Star people for their strength or pity them for pushing her to the brink of destruction. No wonder the laws of heaven and earth here were so weak. Although her divine sense was suppressed to the late Golden Core stage, she felt that as time went by, she should be able to recover to the strength of her divine sense at the Nascent Soul stage.

Most importantly, her Nascent Soul stage strength is not restricted. However, this small world has neither spiritual energy nor demonic energy. Once she exhausts all the spiritual power and resources in her body, she will only be an ordinary cultivator with a powerful soul.

Hanlian rubbed her temples, realizing that the current situation was beyond her control. She needed to find her companions as soon as possible; perhaps they could find a way to solve this problem.

So Hanlian did the same thing as Yunxi and Xunkun, using a communication jade slip to send messages to her friends and wait for their replies. She decided to stay at the research base for the time being to see if she could get more information.

On the other side, Yun Chen, the Buddhist disciple, was more fortunate. After the red rope connecting him and Han Lian was shattered by the spatial gale, he immediately transformed into the golden body of a Buddhist disciple, protecting himself as he passed through the boundary wall and fell into Wei Lan Star. He happened to land in a deep mountain scenic area, where he was discovered and rescued by the scenic area's patrolmen.

　I've been urged to update, so I'll update two chapters first, and there will be two more later.
