The Professional Rankings, in twelve volumes, each bearing the name of my lord.

"Aaaaaah!!! Aaaaah!!!"

The separation process, which was originally scheduled for a week, will end tonight.

Although the people in the lab did extra preparation for this.

Yet Ye Chen's suffering was still unimaginable.

The feeling of having your entire body, bones, muscles, and blood being pulled and cut with a knife is something that ordinary people cannot even imagine.

It can be said that every pain nerve in Ye Chen was being frantically stimulated.

He lay inside a white cylindrical device, with dozens of syringes inserted into his flesh, and an electric current flowing into him from time to time, along with some medication.

Despite the immense pain, Ye Chen remained motionless.

Otherwise, the positioning plate beneath him would need to be recalibrated.

All the staff members present felt sorry for him.

When the entire device started emitting electric sparks, the old scientist immediately shouted.

"Stop! Stop now! He can't hold on any longer!"

Unexpectedly, Ye Chen's roar rang out.

"Uncle Shen!! Don't stop! Keep going!!! I can do it!! I want to go home! I want to go home tomorrow!!! I don't want to wait a second longer!!"

Before Ye Chen's eyes, he began to hallucinate the lovely citizens of Nanshui City.

Although he was in pain, he had a smile on his lips.

The elderly scientist, with tears welling in his eyes, clenched his fist and urged the staff to continue.

Ye Chen's suffering lasted for more than three hours.

Finally, it's all over.

When the separation device was opened, a pitch-black dagger lay beside Ye Chen.

The staff put on gloves and carefully took out the dark dagger, placing it into a box-shaped container specifically used for storing dark artifacts.

The old scientist helped Ye Chen up.

"How are you, child?"

"I, I'm fine, it doesn't hurt anymore..."

"Child, remember, don't repeat the same mistake."

"Uncle Shen, I've reflected on this a lot these past few days and I know I was wrong."

"You're a good kid. Everyone makes mistakes sometimes. It's never too late."

This project, which took many days, has finally come to an end.

Everyone on the project team is very happy right now.

Just then, the laboratory door opened, and Wang Miao, dressed in the Special Bureau uniform and wearing a detector, walked in, exuding a chilling aura.

"I am Wang Miao. I have been ordered by the former chief to come here to receive the Dark Dagger and transfer it to Federal Warehouse No. 1."

The staff member who had just finished mounting the Dark Dagger glanced at Wang Miao.

"Are you alone?"

"Are you doubting my abilities, or are you doubting Chief Wan's orders?"

"Hey, I was just saying it casually, why are you so rude? I was in a pretty good mood just now, and you've ruined it..."

The old scientist walked over, handed the box containing the Dark Dagger to Wang Miao, and said with a smile.

"Chief Wan already told me today that I trust you with the goods."

Wang Miao smiled and took the box.

"Click".

The next second, he opened the box and took out the dark dagger.

"Wang Miao, you..."

"I'm sorry, but I need this."

The elderly scientist reacted quickly, slapping a red emergency button, and the alarm blared throughout the entire building, clearly audible several kilometers away.

At the same time, the laboratory door slammed shut with a loud bang.

Layers of protective barriers kept emerging from the walls, completely blocking the door.

The protective layer also contains a high-voltage power grid and an electromagnetic barrier.

Protective measures are in place at full capacity.

"Wang Miao! Are you going to betray the Special Affairs Bureau?!"

Wang Miao turned to face the door, raised his dagger, and a faint black mist emerged from it.

Without saying a word, he swung his sword down.

"Sizzle sizzle..."

A straight spark appeared on the metal door of the laboratory.

"Bang bang bang!!"

Immediately afterwards, the entire explosion sent shockwaves sweeping inside and out, knocking people out of the laboratory and throwing all kinds of instruments into chaos.

Wang Miao remained unmoved in the face of the explosion, walking out of the laboratory step by step.

The man who had almost gotten into a fight with Wang Miao was now slumped on the ground, trembling as he watched Wang Miao leave.

Black mist and cold air intertwined around Wang Miao, forming eerie dark blue currents.

"Wang Miao!"

In the passage leading out of the underground research institute, a long spear blocked Wang Miao's path.

The Song hexagram has arrived.

"Bandits, you're quite clever."

"Didn't you give us the clues yourself? You could have made up a story about the conversation between those two phantoms, but you kept telling the truth."

Are you also struggling internally, unsure whether you should do what you did today, and hoping someone will stop you?

Alright! I'm here! Hand over the Dark Dagger!

I'll arrange for someone to help you escape. We'll have a boat and money. You can live comfortably in other areas.

If you insist on escaping, you'll have to get past me first. Besides, the people who are going to arrest you should be here soon.

Without my help, you definitely wouldn't have escaped tonight.

Wang Miao scoffed, dismissing Song Gua's words with disdain, and the golden Eye of Horus began to appear on his forehead.

Song Gua was greatly alarmed.

"That's impossible!"

The chill emanating from Wang Miao grew even stronger.

"Nothing in this world is impossible. The things you don't know are beyond your imagination. Bandit, until we meet again!"

Suddenly, a chilling aura erupted from beneath Wang Miao's feet, generating a terrifying impact that propelled him upwards.

"boom!!!"

Wang Miao was too fast, but you could vaguely see that he was condensing hard ice spikes above his head, and the dark dagger in his hand was also attacking, cutting through the top floor of the basement and the ceiling of the building, soaring straight into the sky!

The Song hexagram has changed positions and is now on the street outside.

Wang Miao charged up from the ground floor, cutting through the entire research building, and finally burst out onto the rooftop.

Throughout the entire incident, the sounds of floors being smashed, glass breaking, various instruments exploding due to interference, and alarms were all mixed together.

It was like a background music piece welcoming Wang Miao's descent into darkness.

Looking at Wang Miao, who was shrouded in black mist high in the sky, Song Gua was full of question marks.

"How could this be? The spirit of the dagger is clearly in our hands, so why is Wang Miao able to unleash the power of the Dark Dagger?"

Song Gua had a flash of inspiration and thought of it.

"It's the Barbell Man! That's the true purpose of symbiosis! Curious Guy Number Three, ask the Dagger Spirit, will they still be replaced?"

Curious Guy went to ask some questions.

Meanwhile, Wang Miao was freezing an ice bridge in mid-air; he was about to leave.

But we can't leave.

Because Song Gua sent Yanzu to deliver the message, the officials arrived faster than Wang Miao had anticipated.

A woman appeared in the sky, flying through the air.

She wore light red armor, was slender but tall, held a red spear, and wore a helmet with a long plume, making her look heroic and dashing.

Her name is Qian Chongxue, the new Chief Investigator who succeeds Wan Jianyi.

"I didn't expect to be given such a huge case before I even started work. Wang Miao, stealing the Dark Artifact? Demolishing the research department building? I think you've really gone mad."

Accompanying Qian Chongxue were the ten senior investigators.

They were all armed with Earthbound Soul Chains, specifically designed to counter dark artifacts, and had completely surrounded Wang Miao.

Wang Miao responded with a cold laugh.

"Anyone who tries to stop me today will be slaughtered!"

A thousand layers of frost suddenly appear, and ten thousand layers of ice and snow cover the ground.

As the frost and snow crumbled, Wang Miao was reborn from the shards of ice and snow!

"Click click click!"

Wang Miao used ice to form armor and snow to make a cloak.

His right hand extended an ice spike, completely covering the dark dagger, forming a three-meter-long ice spear, which would become his weapon.

The black mist and cold air swirled around him, reflecting each other, and a chilling aura grew stronger and stronger.

Under the moonlight, Wang Miao stood proudly above the city lights, like an ice prince!
