My Ironclad System is ahead of schedule.

After knocking him unconscious, he immediately took out a specially made coffin-sized box and began to store the creature from the rift.

After placing the Shadow of the Devourer inside, Ji Yuan turned to Jepard and said, "Let's go. Take me out of the city. I need to find my teacher and then we can study this Rift creature together."

Jepard, still reeling from the power of Ji Yuan's punch, only reacted after hearing Ji Yuan's words. He then quickly led Ji Yuan away.

After walking a few steps, Ji Yuan spotted another shadow of the Devourer. Seeing this, Ji Yuan casually stuffed it into the 'coffin' as well.

There are four wheels under the 'coffin', so Ji Yuan can pull it around.

He originally intended to leave like this, but after taking a few steps, he discovered new creatures from the rift and suddenly felt an urge to come and have more.

"How about we look around some more?"

毶矣侕靶懿澌疑糁奺

Ji Yuan asked Jepard.

"But you can't put much in this coffin, can you?"

"It's okay, it's okay, just stuff it in a little more."

Ji Yuan waved his hand and said.

They're all energy bodies now, so it doesn't matter.

"Forehead……"

Jepard couldn't help but silently mourn for those beings from the rift.

However, since Ji Yuan had said so, he couldn't refute it and could only lead Ji Yuan deeper into the area.

……

Lying on her bed in Cripperburg, Bronya stared at the ceiling, her mind racing.

Taking a deep breath, she felt she couldn't lie there any longer.

Lying down like this, will Ji Yuan eventually give up on using people for experiments?

Bronya stood up.

She planned to go find Ji Yuan to see what he was up to.

Bronya glanced at herself in the mirror and tried to suppress the weakness on her face.

I cannot back down in order to protect Belloberg.

Bronya then walked outside.

As she went outside, she encountered Toppa, who was about to leave Cripperburg.

Bronya asked her, "Miss Topa, where are you going? Is there anything I can help you with?"

Looking at Bronya, Topa showed a hint of sympathy. However, she said nonchalantly, "Oh, I'll contact someone to get some supplies from the company."

"Mobilize supplies? What for?"

Topa said to Bronya, "Ji Yuan probably wants to help the residents of the local Beloborg."

"Isn't he a creditor? Why is he being so kind as to give us construction money?"

Normally, when someone owes money, shouldn't the authorities take everything from the debtor's house? Why is construction still underway here?

"When the company faces debts from others, it will try to transform the situation so that the debtors can repay their debts. Providing materials is not for the purpose of helping, but to help them better repay their debts in the future."

Topa said to Bronya.

"So it can still be like this."

Toppa nodded: "Yes, if it's a company collecting debts this time, we'll transform this planet into a giant mineral extraction and processing plant. Then we'll have all the residents of Beloborg work for it."

"What about Ji Yuan?"

Bronya asked Topa.

"I don't know about that. Maybe he's more interested in scientific research, like how he just mentioned wanting to do research..."

Toppa thought for a while, but ultimately couldn't help but remind Bronya. It wasn't something she should do, but her kindness wouldn't let her.

Bronya immediately understood what Topa was trying to say.

The two walked to the gate of Kripper Castle, talking as they went. Bronya was curious about Ji Yuan's whereabouts, so she asked the gatekeeper where he had gone.

"Mr. Ji Yuan took Lord Jepard to the other side of the city."

"Um!?"

Seeing the direction the guard pointed, which led deep into the city and where many residents lived, Bronya became anxious.

I hope Ji Yuan didn't go and experiment on people.

She quickly walked over there.

Bronya ran quickly and saw Ji Yuan and Jepard approaching when she reached the residential area. Jepard had a complicated expression, while Ji Yuan looked happy. Behind him was a 'coffin' with wheels.

Most importantly, the 'coffin' was still vibrating, indicating that there was something alive inside.

Bronya suddenly felt her blood go cold.

Ji Yuan, are you going to use living people for experiments?

Seeing this, Bronya took a deep breath and went over.

She didn't know what she should do, but she absolutely couldn't do nothing.

At the very least, you can't let anyone get into trouble in front of you.

If you're going to get hurt, then start by being the first one to do it.

When Ji Yuan saw Bronya approaching, he asked her with concern, "Bronya, are you feeling better?"

"Ah."

Bronya nodded.

Then, she took a deep breath and said earnestly, "Ji Yuan, I am willing to take his place as your test subject. I am the adopted daughter of the current Great Guardian, and if the people of Beloborg are to suffer any hardship, I will be the first to do so."

She spoke with such righteous indignation, as if she would stand firmly in front of Ji Yuan if he didn't agree.

However, upon hearing her words, Ji Yuan looked surprised.

"You can't do this experiment for me?"

“Why can’t I replace him? I’m almost an adult, and my physical condition is excellent throughout the entire Belloberg,” Bronya said earnestly, biting her lip.

Ji Yuan was even more confused by her actions, so he walked to the 'coffin' and opened a crack.

"But no matter how healthy you are, you can't replace an energy being, can you?"

"what!?"

Bronya froze when she saw that it was a somewhat flattened, worm-eating shadow inside.

"You, is the Shadow of the Devourer inside?"

Ji Yuan nodded: "Yes, what else can we do? If we want to deal with the Rift creatures, of course we have to bring them to the laboratory for decomposition experiments first, right?"

Upon hearing his words, Bronya had only one thought in her mind:

Oh no, I've made a huge fool of myself!

Looking at the creature from the rift, and then thinking about what she had just said, Bronya wished she could dig a three-bedroom apartment out of her boot.

Chapter 165 Ji Yuan: Hanabi, you dare to frame me? You'll regret it! [6k]

"This one……"

She looked at Ji Yuan, unsure of what to say.

so awkward.

Jepard forced himself to suppress his laughter, while Ji Yuan, standing to the side, couldn't help but burst out laughing.

However, after thinking it over, he realized something was wrong. So he first closed the box containing the Rift creature, and then seriously asked Bronya, "How did you come to the conclusion that I was going to use human bodies for experiments?"

You can ask Ji Yuan to kill someone, but asking him to use human bodies for experiments is something that completely crosses his bottom line.

He had abhorred this in his previous life, and it only intensified after he became a member of the Immortal Ship. Those who arbitrarily used other people's bodies for experimental modifications were mostly those damned, prosperous people; Ji Yuan wished he could exterminate them all.

Bronya took a deep breath and then said to Ji Yuan, "Didn't you arrange for a ship to transport experimental materials here? And the first thing you did upon arriving here was to build a laboratory. That's why I thought you were planning to use the residents of Beloborg as human subjects for experiments."

"Hmm?" Upon hearing her words, Jepard, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but look at Ji Yuan.

Ji Yuan, seeing their gazes, spread his hands and said, "I'm asking you, what's so special about the people of Belloborg? If not, why would I use them for experiments? If I need to do experiments, wouldn't it be better to just cultivate life forms suitable for experiments?"

He could explain it with various moral and emotional reasons, but Ji Yuan thought about it and decided to explain it with interests.

"What does it mean?"

Bronya didn't understand.

Ji Yuan explained again: "For ordinary people, creating life is an unimaginable thing. But for me and my teacher, creating a life is a normal thing. I have also examined the people of Beloberg, and in all aspects they are at an average level in the entire galaxy, so they really have no value for experimentation."

Upon hearing this, Jepard nodded and said, "That may be harsh, but it makes a lot of sense."

Upon hearing this, Bronya also felt that Ji Yuan was right.

Now, she lowered her head even further. Her face was flushed, and she was extremely embarrassed.

"Yes, I'm sorry, I... I wronged you..."

Seeing Bronya, who had been so righteous just moments before, now looking timid and embarrassed, Ji Yuan chuckled inwardly. Then, after thinking for a moment, to reassure Bronya further, he continued, "Never mind, I'm going to see my teacher next to deal with these Rift creatures. You can come with me; witnessing it firsthand will put your mind at ease."

"Ah."

Bronya nodded emphatically.

Jepard had other things to do, so only Ji Yuan and Bronya walked out along the streets of Belloborg.

Bronya was a celebrity in Belloborg; everyone knew she would be the next Great Protector. Seeing her walking with a young man they'd never seen before, they couldn't help but show surprise.

"Lady Bronya, what's wrong...?"
