Beast Taming Begins with the Inner Circle of Pets

Chapter 126 Ultimate Bull and Horse

After Fan Chengye had packed up most of Chen Xuewei's belongings, he had someone bring two blindfolds for Lin Manman and Chen Xuewei to wear.

Perhaps because of Lin Manman, Chen Xuewei did not resist this time and obediently took the blindfold and put it on.

"Miss Lin, I hope you won't put me in a difficult position." To prevent Lin Manman from refusing again, Fan Chengye's eyes held a hint of pressure.

Although Lin Manman was unwilling, she had no choice but to obediently put on the blindfold.

She thought it was over, but as soon as she put on the blindfold, someone brought her a pair of noise-canceling headphones and put them on her.

Lin Manman felt that Fan Chengye really thought too highly of her, even going so far as to plug her ears. Even if he let her hear everything, she still wouldn't be able to figure out where she was being taken.

After that, she had to be carried by two people to move around. In the end, she didn't know whether she was on a land vehicle or a flying vehicle. In short, apart from the soft cushions, she couldn't tell anything else.

Unable to see or hear anything, and with the slight shaking, Lin Manman didn't know when she fell asleep.

When she woke up again, she was in a completely unfamiliar space.

This is a small room with very simple furniture, consisting of only a bed, a table, and a chair; there isn't even a cabinet.

After Lin Manman woke up, she glanced around. The four walls were white and undecorated, so there shouldn't be any surveillance equipment. She tried to call Hongyu out.

Rainbow Jade was successfully summoned. It seems there's nothing around to suppress her abilities. "Rainbow Jade, try using a spatial skill?"

Hongyu glanced around warily, then looked at her with concern.

"I'm fine. They have a use for me, so they won't hurt me for now. Try using your skills first."

Sensing its concern, Lin Manman stroked its chin and gently comforted it.

Hongyu lowered her head and rubbed her palm together, trying to use her skill, then shook her head at her in disappointment.

Lin Manman also sighed softly.

Sure enough, how could someone leave her here alone without being prepared? Even if Fan Chengye wasn't nearby, he must have set up a no-fly zone.

"It's okay, I should be safe for the time being. We can look for opportunities later."

Just as she finished speaking with Hongyu, she heard footsteps outside the door, and she quickly put Hongyu back into her spirit pet space.

The visitor arrived at her room door, politely knocked twice, and then asked, "Excuse me, is Miss Lin awake?"

The unfamiliar female voice startled Lin Manman. She went to the door of the room and tried to unlock it, only to find that the door could not be opened from the inside.

No wonder the furnishings here are so rudimentary; it doesn't even qualify as a dormitory, it's practically a prison cell.

"You're awake! May I ask who you are?"

Lin Manman, who had originally intended to play dead, immediately responded enthusiastically when she realized she had missed the person outside and didn't know when she could leave.

Sure enough, upon hearing her wake up, she heard the sound of the door unlocking. She quickly stepped back and asked someone to open the door.

When the door opened, a woman in her twenties entered. She was about half a head taller than Lin Manman, wearing a simple white lab coat and with her hair tied in a low ponytail.

With a pale face and a pair of rimless glasses, she looked aloof and intellectual.

"Hello, my name is Shan Yushu. Mr. Fan is currently unavailable, so he asked me to come and show you around the place." The woman gave Lin Manman a faint smile, polite yet distant.

When Lin Manman heard that she would be shown around the area, she immediately perked up. No matter what, getting familiar with the surroundings first would give her a better chance of escaping.

"Okay, thank you for your help, ma'am."

Shan Yushu nodded, then turned and led her outside.

"Currently, you can only move around on this floor, which includes the accommodation area, dining area, lounge area, and several small research labs. The elevators here are all access-recognition type; you can't open them without permission."

He led Lin Manman around several corners, then pointed to a large elevator and showed it to her.

"The elevator verification system uses a combination of facial recognition, fingerprint scanning, and iris scanning. If the verification fails three times, the alarm system will be triggered."

Lin Manman gave an awkward smile. Goodness, he's been so blunt. He's practically saying, "Don't even think about running away. There's no chance!"

She glanced at the elevator's flashing indicator and guessed that she was probably underground. If the only way out was by elevator, then she would be in trouble.

Shan Yushu led her to the rest area, which had various fitness facilities and a reading room, but no internet or entertainment facilities.

It was at this moment that Lin Manman discovered that the bracelet on her wrist was missing; Fan Chengye must have taken it.

She checked carefully and found that the spatial bracelet was still there.

Fortunately, she wore the bracelet and the spatial bracelet on different hands, and she also had the illusion potion she had bought beforehand to cover it up, which saved her the spatial bracelet.

"This is the dining area. In a couple of days, I'll get you a card. You can come and pay for your meals yourself." Shan Yushu walked ahead, unaware of her absent-mindedness.

"This is the dormitory area. There are only two empty rooms right now. You can choose one."

Upon arriving at the dormitory area, Shan Yushu pointed to the two doors in the far corner and spoke to Lin Manman.

Lin Manman's eyes lit up when she heard this. They didn't actually intend to lock her up again?

Clearly, she can't escape now, so naturally she hopes for better treatment.

She went up and opened the two dormitory doors to take a look. The dormitory was not only much larger than the room where she had woken up before, but it also had a wardrobe, cabinets and a bathroom.

Seeing that the two rooms were similar, she randomly chose one.

Shan Yushu nodded, left her a key, and said again, "Let's go, I'll take you to get some daily necessities. You don't have any spare clothes, do you? Think about what else you need, you can get it too."

Lin Manman was stunned by these words. She felt like she was going to work in a factory. Was she going to be locked up here and forced to work 996 hours a day after she was settled?

Believe it or not... it seems quite possible. What Fan Chengye initially told her about mass-producing mythical-level spirit beasts was probably not just empty talk.

The problem is that, judging from his conversation with Chen Xuewei yesterday, their research results have not yet reached this goal.

In other words, they currently need her to provide awakened spirit beasts for their experiments, and if the experiments succeed in the future, they will still ask her to provide a large number of awakened spirit beasts to meet their goals.

I'm afraid that once they really master this technology, even the ultimate 007 won't be enough to satisfy their ambitions.

The thought of possibly spending her future days and nights awakening spirit beasts made Lin Manman feel dizzy.

No, we have to escape before they finish their experiment, otherwise it will only get harder later!

Having made up her mind, she followed Shan Yushu to get the things while trying to get information out of her.

She wanted to ask Chen Xuewei where he was. Although she was very opposed to the experiments Chen Xuewei conducted using spirit beasts, his goals were the same as Meng Wenbin's, so there might be a possibility of cooperation.

Of course, this is all on the premise that he can still live and continue working for this organization.
