The Law of Heaven

Chapter 89 The Best Second Uncle
The subway Line 13 sped through the darkness, while television screens broadcast the evening news: an unidentified explosion had occurred at MixC Mall on Fushun Road. Firefighters were cleaning up the aftermath, police had cordoned off nearby streets, and media reporters interviewed onlookers at the scene. It has been confirmed that the incident was caused by a gas leak, and there have been no casualties so far.

This demonstrates DeepBlue's public relations capabilities.

"That's utter bullshit."

Aihara sat on the bench and sighed.

"The combat formation has begun operations."

Jiang Youqing handed him her phone to look at.

Videos have been released on the Deep Blue Alliance's internal network, showing eleven combat units sweeping through the streets, destroying one Bliss Society stronghold after another, and the battle is fierce.

The combat team, dressed in suits and ties, waded through puddles under black umbrellas, storming into office buildings or private hospitals on the street like gangsters. They quickly located the lurking Bliss Society followers, subdued them on the spot with swift and decisive action, and incidentally rescued the genetic disease patients who were supposed to be sent to the other side.

"They're pretty quick."

Aihara clicked his tongue.

"Because I sent the relevant intelligence to the company, the combat sequence can easily locate the other strongholds. This battle should last all night."

Jiang Youqing put her phone away expressionlessly and said calmly, "I just don't know how the other party will react."

Aihara didn't care about that question; instead, he pulled the Life Slug out of his pocket: "You really don't want it?"

This woman must have broken countless bones in her back; if it weren't for the strong physique of the immortal race, she would have been in the hospital long ago.

"do not want!"

Jiang Youqing said with a straight face, "I find it disgusting."

She took out a small pink succulent from her bag, carefully broke off a leaf, put it in her mouth, and mumbled, "This is my biological spirit. Its name is Guardian Angel. Eating a leaf can heal injuries, and it tastes pretty good too."

The sound of bones snapping together came from her back.

There was a click.

It looks like two broken pieces of steel have been welded together.

Aihara stared blankly for a moment, then handed over his life slug and asked, "Can I trade with you?"

Jiang Youqing refused, saying, "No."

Xiang Yuan hadn't really intended to exchange with her anyway, so he shrugged and said, "Thank you for today."

Jiang Youqing said seriously, "No need to thank me. I've said before that once I've completed my cultivation of the Material Technique, I'm meant to live and die. In that situation, I couldn't afford to lose your fighting strength."

Aihara pouted: "There's no need to throw your life away, you should be able to see by now that I'm just a clone... Or are you unsure what the death of the clone will have on my main body, so you came to save me?"

Jiang Youqing fell silent, as if she had returned to her high school days, unable to utter a single word.

Aihara fell silent, lost in thought.

Much later.

Aihara suddenly asked, "Let me ask you a question. If the person you were working with today wasn't me, but someone else, would you still have taken that blow for them?"

Jiang Youqing was taken aback, not expecting him to ask such a question, but she still thought about it carefully and replied, "Of course not if it's someone I don't know or trust."

Aihara glanced at her: "So you have many familiar people you can still trust?"

Jiang Youqing shook her head and said, "Not really."

Aihara, having received a satisfactory answer, pressed his advantage, saying, "Why do you trust me? You know, I haven't even revealed my true identity to you yet."

Jiang Youqing said coldly, "So you know this too. Someone like you would be the kind of cowardly rat who wouldn't dare to show his face in a TV series. He usually wouldn't survive more than three episodes."

Aihara said awkwardly, "Haha, really?"

Whether it was a misperception or not, Jiang Youqing seemed to roll her eyes at him and said softly, "I trust you because if anyone else knew I could make serum, they would probably have sold me out long ago. But not only did you not do that, you have been by my side helping me all this time. I have no reason to doubt you."

This is the first time she has had a friend she can truly fight alongside. At first, she was a little unaccustomed to it, but now she is gradually getting used to it.

That's why I did that subconscious thing.

It saved him from a fatal blow from the enemy.

"I see. But is it possible that I just wanted to lower your guard, then lure you to my basement and imprison you there, making you work day and night to produce the serum, and maybe do something else to you that I don't want you to do?"

Aihara turned his head and met the girl's disdainful gaze.

"Cough cough."

He coughed lightly: "I was just kidding."

Jiang Youqing withdrew her gaze and, unusually, made a joke that was both thrilling and captivating: "Then you must remember to treat me well."

Aihara's heart skipped a beat: "Okay, the door to my basement is always open for you."

Jiang Youqing ignored him.

Throughout, Ruan Qi remained hidden in the shadows, muttering, "You still say you two aren't dating?"

She had to suspect something.

The boss asked her to join the team just to be a dog-food fan.

Dog men and women!
Aihara mouthed, "No, not at all."

Ruan Qi said irritably, "Cheer up! What if there's an ambush when we get to the station?"

Aihara asked curiously, "What's in that place?"

Ruan Qi shook his head and said, "I don't know either, but if my brother cares about it so much, there must be a big secret."

When the subway arrived, they blended into the crowd, took the elevator, swiped their cards to exit the station, and arrived in the CBD area.

The bustling street was brightly lit. Xiangyuan bought two hand-pulled pancakes from a roadside stall for them. He himself didn't need to eat; he could eat them back at the shop.

"Thank you."

Jiang Youqing took a small bite of the scallion pancake, exhaled slightly from the heat, and her plump lips were stained with a little oil.

It's kind of cute.

In contrast, Ruan Qi was not so ladylike; she took a bite out of half of the scallion pancake, looking quite hungry.

This little girl is truly born like a dragon.

"This is the neighborhood I see."

Ruan Qi pointed to a gated community under the night sky and explained, "There's no specific address, but I know which building it is. My senses can cover a distance of one kilometer; a quick scan will tell me which apartment it is."

"Fuck."

Aihara was utterly shocked: "One kilometer?"

Why is he only ten meters tall?

Since his advancement, the perception accuracy and output power of his Alaya consciousness have been continuously improving, but the range has remained unchanged.

I don't know when the range will be increased.

Super durable, I'm done playing, deleting my account!
Ruan Qi was taken aback: "What about your distance?"

Aihara couldn't very well admit that he was short and weak, so he had to bite the bullet and boast, "Nine hundred and ninety-nine meters."

Ruan Qi said, "That's about right."

Aihara suddenly became very curious: "I haven't asked you yet, what rank are you, and what ancient artifacts have you fused with?"

Ruan Qi glanced at him with disdain: "Didn't the boss tell you? I don't need to fuse with ancient relics at all. My abilities come from the Mirage Dragon. As long as my spiritual essence grows, my abilities will automatically transform."

I don't have a specific rank, but if I had to force a division... I'd probably be roughly equivalent to a top-tier Grand rank. If I were facing a veteran Transcendent rank like the Chairman of Deep Blue Union, I might have to resort to some extreme measures.

The extreme measure here refers to leveraging the power of the mirage dragon to manifest a mythical body and roar across the world.

But Ruan Qi didn't say anything.

I'm afraid it might frighten the young family members.

"Is it so powerful?"

Aihara was utterly shocked: "The country is doomed." Above the Destiny Rank is the Transcendent Rank.

Only by achieving Grand Slam status can we overcome this insurmountable barrier.

If a person with a long lifespan cannot reach the crown rank, they will remain in the fourth stage of destiny for their entire life, with no further hope.

Ruan Qi closed his eyes and sensed for a moment, then locked onto a residential building. He said triumphantly, "Found it. If nothing unexpected happens, it's apartment 1204 here. No one has lived here for a long time; the doorknobs are covered in dust."

Aihara's eye twitched slightly; even from this distance, he could sense the dust on that doorknob.

He suspected that his alaya-vijnana (storehouse consciousness) might be fake.

"Let's go, Building 5, Unit 1, 1204."

Aihara walked at the front with a dark expression.

Jiang Youqing looked at him suspiciously, wondering what had suddenly gotten into him, and followed him while biting into her scallion pancake.

The security guards at the entrance of the residential complex were dozing off. They arrived at Building 5, easily broke the lock on the unit door, took the elevator to the twelfth floor, and stood in front of the door.

"and many more."

Jiang Youqing sensed the magnetic field and pointed to the door, saying, "This is a combination lock, and there's a bomb behind it. If you enter the wrong password, this room will self-destruct."

Aihara frowned: "Can we force our way in?"

Jiang Youqing hesitated and said, "It will take some effort. There should be sensors behind the door. If we force our way in..."

“That’s Dr. Nan’s style. He’s very cautious. What my brother is looking for is probably something he left behind. In my brother’s memory, I saw Dr. Nan being murdered. My brother picked up the key he left behind and circled this address in the documents he had compiled before his death.”

Ruan Qi whispered from behind.

Aihara was slightly taken aback. Such a short sentence made him understand a great deal.

No wonder Xiao Qi has the token from the Mirage Tower.

"Second uncle..."

This room was actually left behind by my second uncle.

"It's okay, I have a solution."

He squatted at the doorway, pretending to be doing something, shaking his head and muttering to himself as if he were divining something.

Jiang Youqing looked at him strangely. This weirdo seemed to be possessed by a ghost, and she wanted to punch him.

Ruan Qi also felt a bit like kicking him.

After a while, Aihara felt he had done enough and entered the code into the door lock: "981224!"

Ding dong.

The security door is opened.

Ruan Qi was shocked: "The country is doomed!"

Jiang Youqing stared in disbelief: "How did you do that?"

Aihara sneered: "Don't ask!"

He knew his second uncle's habits all too well; almost all important passwords were usually this number.

On December 24, 1998, my second uncle was arrested for soliciting prostitution for the first time. He remembered this date and would never forget it.

Xiangsi knew about this, but she thought the old man had suddenly realized his mistake and wanted to remember this lesson.

Little did he know that his second uncle wanted to write down this date simply to remind himself to be careful when visiting prostitutes in the future, so as not to fall into the same trap again.

After the door opened, they indeed found a sophisticated bomb behind it. The person who set the trap was very clever; there were infrared sensors on all four sides of the walls.

If anyone tries to break in, this place will self-destruct.

Aihara casually turned on the light.

Jiang Youqing was taken aback: "Where is this...?"

Unexpectedly, this place turned out to be a biological laboratory. The living room was filled with expensive medical equipment, and the sophisticated instruments were undoubtedly the most cutting-edge technology. The table was covered with medical data and ancient books, all neatly arranged.

The bedroom was even more shocking. At a glance, it was clear that it belonged to a middle-aged sleazy man. The walls were covered with posters of naked women, and the cabinets were piled with various pornographic DVDs and magazines, exuding a lewd and vulgar style.

It's hard to imagine that the living room and bedroom were designed by the same person; the styles are extremely disparate.

Second Uncle's character is damn tough.

Every time Aihara looked at his second uncle with newfound respect, the old man would shatter his illusions in the most despicable way.

Jiang Youqing's eyes lit up. She glanced at the equipment in the laboratory, then flipped through the books and documents on the table, her expression immediately becoming serious.

She turned the pages of the book faster and faster.

Qinghan's eyes became even brighter.

His pupils trembled slightly.

It was as if I saw something incredible.

"genius."

She said softly, "This person is undoubtedly a genius. He's actually researching a different method for making serum. It's not for mental pollution, but for the genetic disease patients in this city. And if I'm not mistaken, he must have started from scratch and taught himself."

Aihara was stunned: "Self-taught?"

Jiang Youqing pointed to the medical books piled up in the study and said confidently, "These are books that are only used for basic introductory courses. I already studied them eight years ago."

No wonder Aihara never knew that his second uncle had such amazing skills; it turns out he learned them on his own.

Despite being an old, useless man who would get caught soliciting prostitutes, he managed to become a PhD in genetics through self-study.

How much effort must have been put in behind the scenes?

Aihara didn't know.

But compared to his second uncle, he was indeed far inferior.

The entry threshold for the Jiang family's super brain computing was only two years of advanced mathematics, but he still backed down.

How many years did it take my second uncle to accomplish all of this?
How much effort did they put in?

Nobody knows.

Looking at the vast sea of ​​books in the study, Aihara felt a lump in his throat for some reason.

Now Xiaosi is also about to awaken.

Aihara really wanted to tell her all of this.

My second uncle is actually a very remarkable person.

But Xiao Si knew nothing about this until her second uncle died.

Aihara searched the study for a long time before finally finding a diary in a hidden compartment of a cabinet.

My second uncle has a habit of keeping a diary.

However, Aihara knew all too well that what his second uncle recorded in his diary might not be anything of substance.

"May God protect you."

He murmured to himself, "This isn't a diary of prostitution, this isn't a diary of prostitution, this isn't a diary of prostitution!"

open!

Aihara opened his notebook, a sense of relief washing over him.

Thank goodness, this isn't my second uncle's diary of visiting prostitutes.

"My name is Xiang Chaonan, and this is my fifteenth year of researching the Heavenly Curse..."
