Today's test was another major failure.

After all the unconscious people were thrown into the truck and driven away by the police, Ling Xiuqi stretched his body and gestured with his chin toward the hideout: "Let's go see what kind of data they're going to destroy."

Back at the base, You Yonghuai put Si Xuanyin back on the bed and then followed Ling Xiuqi to search the room.

The special substances he just released can not only suppress supernatural abilities, but also interfere with instruments to prevent data from being deleted.

However, once exposed to air, this property will gradually be lost. It takes about two to three hours for a special substance the size of a fingernail to completely lose its properties.

You Yonghuai and Ling Xiuqi couldn't wait that long.

As he removed the special materials one by one, Ling Xiuqi casually remarked, "This set of equipment is still too expensive. If the cost can't be reduced, we definitely won't be able to equip it... Keep the set you're wearing for now, and return it when it's almost completely worn out. You can also give them a sample of how you used it."

"Can we replenish the ammunition on those two sides?" You Yonghuai asked, shaking his arms as he put all the special materials into a special storage box at his waist.

"Don't even think about it." Ling Xiuqi shrugged. "All we have are the samples. If it weren't for the need to test the effectiveness, you could work eight lifetimes and still not get a single anesthetic needle."

Without the interference of special substances, the two began to check the data in each instrument separately.

The first thing You Yonghuai looked for was Si Xuanyin's information. The two of them, one human and one spirit, searched around the room and quickly found a report: "Methods for Restoring the Physical Activity of Sample Zero".

"You were sample zero, right?" You Yonghuai asked, recalling how the "deliveryman" had addressed him.

"Otherwise what? Have you ever been caught by them?" Si Xuanyin's gaze was fixed on the report, urging You Yonghuai to turn the page.

From the moment she saw her own body, she began trying to return to her physical form, but to no avail.

After quickly skimming through the report, You Yonghuai said, "It says that to restore your body's vitality, at least one 'cursed node' needs to be resolved and a massive amount of life force needs to be injected... Is this 'cursed node' the one I'm imagining?"

"That's right, the ritual node that brought you misfortune." Si Xuanyin nodded frankly and said, "If I'm not mistaken, they used my life force as material when they performed the ritual."

"How do we deal with that enormous life force?"

"God knows."

Si Xuanyin wasn't in a hurry. She had been separated from her physical body for two years, so waiting a little longer wouldn't matter. Before, she was like a bound spirit, confined to her room. Now, she could run around with You Yonghuai, and she was already very content.

While her own resurrection was important, Si Xuanyin hoped even more that You Yonghuai could escape his misfortune.

After confirming that there was no information related to Si Xuanyin around, You Yonghuai began to look through other materials, but he didn't understand them very well and often had to call out to Ling Xiuqi to ask for their specific meanings.

It took the two of them most of the day to read through all the contents of the base except for the encrypted data. Ling Xiuqi picked out some of them to take back with him.

Some of the information contained detailed intelligence about this organization that called itself a "laboratory," while others were unencrypted but incomprehensible.

For example, the magic array diagram that Ling Xiuqi stacked on top of a pile of documents.

Ling Xiuqi's strength lies in combat, making him more of a military general. He knows a little about various things, but only a little.

For highly specialized magic arrays like this, he would have to send them to headquarters for analysis by professionals.

Even if he was the only one sent to Jiangcheng to carry out the mission, he would try his best to find something for his good brothers at headquarters to do.

You Yonghuai had already taken a small cup of blood from Si Xuanyin's body.

In fact, this amount was more than enough to change the nature of the Demon-Slaying Nail, but Si Xuanyin still felt it wasn't safe enough. Considering that the Demon-Slaying Nail might be lost, she directly asked You Yonghuai to prepare three doses.

While she can't feel the pain right now, Si Xuanyin should really take advantage of her body.

Of course, measures were taken to stop the bleeding afterward.

Holding Si Xuanyin in his arms, the two prepared to leave, while You Yonghuai expressed his concerns.

Clearly, this is just a branch of the laboratory. The others would never abandon Si Xuanyin and You Yonghuai. Therefore, sending Si Xuanyin's body back to the hospital would likely make them target her again.

"Since her body doesn't need equipment to maintain her vital signs, if you don't mind, you can simply take her back to your own home." Ling Xiuqi glanced at You Yonghuai with a hint of helplessness, thinking to himself, "Is this your idea of ​​romance...?"

"Anyway, I was going to send someone to keep an eye on your family anyway, to prevent the lab people from targeting you again, so this way we can save some manpower."

You Yonghuai looked at Si Xuanyin.

Si Xuanyin shrugged indifferently, even a little happy.

Since my soul is already living with You Yonghuai, having multiple bodies doesn't matter.

It's a bit horrifying to see my own body every day.

However, it might be even harder for Yu Yonghuai to lose weight—it's quite terrifying to see two identical things.

"That's settled then." You Yonghuai nodded, hailed a taxi, and unsurprisingly encountered a traffic check, which delayed him for half an hour.

Fortunately, You Yonghuai's door has been replaced and equipped with a smart lock, so he no longer needs to stay in a hotel.

You Yonghuai now lives in a two-bedroom apartment, which his father bought before, but it had been vacant since he returned to his hometown. It was only when You Yonghuai was admitted to a university in Jiangcheng that it was put to use again.

As for the luggage left at the hotel, the police officer in charge of monitoring You Yonghuai's family brought it to him.

The thought of police officers randomly appearing around him before the lab was destroyed made You Yonghuai feel uneasy, and he became somewhat restrained even at home.

After tossing Si Xuanyin's body onto the wooden bed in the guest room, You Yonghuai ignored the noisy protests of the spirit beside him and instead summoned the control panel with a slight thought.

He was afraid that the special examination might cause some errors and affect his day's itinerary, so he did not have the examination done before going to the hospital.

Now that he has taken over the laboratory's stronghold, he has time to conduct the verification.

The two planned to try all four tests first, and then decide which one to test first. Among the remaining three options, Si Xuanyin believed that the danger level of [Mental] was the lowest.

Because her soul still resides in You Yonghuai, she can share some of the burden of his influence.

"Then I need to get ready to begin..."
