Go to work, and then educate magical girls.

Chapter 57 Underground

After Tang Feng finished speaking, he reached out and patted Zi Wan on the head.

The magic circle that was flashing on Ziwan's forehead slowly faded, but it did not disappear. Instead, it sank into the skin and could not be observed.

At the same time, Ziwan's pure black eyes gradually returned to their clear black and white form. At this moment, she was staring intently at Tang Feng, her cold expression revealing nothing of her true thoughts.

Tang Feng knew that the familiar Zi Wan had returned.

"I've pushed her back in; she shouldn't be coming out again anytime soon."

Ziwan nodded almost imperceptibly. "Is there anything else I need to do?"

"You seem to have adapted to the change in role very quickly?"

"My mother told me that if you can't resist, you have to learn to obey."

"Compliance can be replaced with enjoyment, and the same principle applies."

Ziwan remained silent upon hearing Tang Feng's teasing.

Tang Feng hesitated for a moment, "Originally, I planned to go to some trouble to erase this part of your memory. What do you think?"

"And now?"

Ziwan asked directly without any fear.

"First, memory erasure is not a good practice and can easily leave aftereffects. Second... I think you might not need your memories erased?"

"I won't tell anyone," Ziwan said firmly.

"You should know that I'm not afraid of you telling the truth, but you might not be able to bear the consequences." Tang Feng's words carried a hint of threat.

"With your abilities, you should have a spell that can make me obey, right? Since you're so worried, then use it on me." Ziwan looked at him, her calm tone suddenly changing slightly, "Like... Jinju?"

Tang Feng's lips curled up slightly. "Overly clever children aren't usually popular."

Tang Feng did not intend to use the same methods on Zi Wan.

The other party already has the seed left by the monster in their body, just like the piece of flesh and blood he left in Jinju's body; their essence is the same.

There is no room for a second seed; the two will clash and destroy her completely.

Moreover, the seed inside Aster's body has completely merged with her; rashly removing it would only endanger her life.

However, this seed did not control the aster, because once it generated magic, Tang Feng could use this to accurately pinpoint the location of the person behind the scenes.

Tang Feng believed that, given that person's cautious approach, the demonic seed would not be activated until the most crucial moment.

Just to be on the safe side, he still left a mark inside Aster's body.

He could detect any abnormalities in the demonic seed immediately.

A cold glint flashed in Tang Feng's eyes; it had been a long time since anyone had dared to lay a hand on him like this.

Aster was the magical girl he had his eye on, but the other party actually wanted to get her too.

Although he couldn't find where the other party was hiding, he had found the tentacles the other party had left in the city.

It's just that the other party is too cautious. He had already pretended to be seriously injured, hoping to lure the other party out from the shadows, but he didn't expect that the other party still didn't dare to show up and fight him.

Tang Feng reached out and put his hand on Zi Wan's shoulder. "There might be a battle breaking out here later. Let me take you back."

Ziwan looked at him and nodded.

In an instant, a magic circle appeared beneath their feet, and Ziwan's figure quickly disappeared into the magic circle.

Very good, now he can see what kind of trickery is going on below.

Tang Feng stretched his limbs, then suddenly stomped his foot, causing him to sink into the ground.

Below the underground parking lot was another level of space. Tang Feng entered and found that it was just a small space of a dozen square meters, with nothing inside except the earthy smell permeating the air.

Tang Feng scanned his surroundings, then pointed to a spot on the ground. Soon, a magic circle appeared not far away.

He stepped on it, but the magic circle did not react at all.

Tang Feng lightly tapped his toes.

"They even have a 'meshing' feature?"

He wasn't in the mood to slowly decipher the code the other party had set, so Tang Feng stood on the magic circle and stomped his foot heavily.

"reverse."

The next moment, the magic circle burst forth with dazzling light, and Tang Feng's figure disappeared into the light.

As soon as he entered, the magic circle shattered with a crack.

This was a dark red, enclosed passageway. Tang Feng walked on it, breaking several magic circles in succession, and was suddenly teleported to an unknown location.

But he could sense that it was hundreds of meters underground, not too far from Binhai City.

No wonder he didn't find anything unusual when he scanned the whole city; even a single stronghold was hidden so well.

Tang Feng walked out of the passageway and was greeted by an extremely spacious area, as big as half a stadium.

Before he could even see what was inside, a loud shout came from not far away.

"Who goes there?!"

Several fully armed men spotted the intruder and immediately surrounded Tang Feng.

The person who looked like the squad leader stepped forward.

"Who are you? Do you have permission? You have three seconds to explain, or you'll be treated as an intruder!"

"three!"

Facing the several dark gun barrels, Tang Feng raised an eyebrow slightly.

"Ordinary people?"

He was a little surprised. He had thought it would be a den of weirdos, but the facilities inside were very modern and most of the people were ordinary people without magic.

The squad leader quickly counted to three, and the men next to him fired without hesitation.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Several gunshots rang out, but Tang Feng remained calm and composed, standing still without making any move.

The men who fired the shots were surprised that Tang Feng hadn't fallen, but soon they sensed something was wrong.

Someone looked down and discovered that a bullet had pierced their heart.

Thump, thump.

Without making a sound, several corpses lay sprawled together, blood pooling on the ground.

Tang Feng looked at the only squad leader who was still standing.

The squad leader's hand, gripping the rifle, was trembling uncontrollably. He knew very well that a monster had arrived.

He adopted a more respectful tone.

"May I ask what brings you here? That sir will be back soon."

He deliberately reminded the person of that great man's existence. In his eyes, that great man was omnipotent, and he figured that the person in front of him wouldn't dare to be too presumptuous in front of him.

Tang Feng ignored the squad leader and looked at the scene inside.

What came into view were dozens of cylindrical glass containers filled with an unknown dark green liquid, in which various strange-looking creatures were immersed.

On the other side, there were many beds covered with white sheets. Some were empty, while others had something covering them.

Next to the two beds at the very back, there were also very sophisticated electronic instruments, giving it the feel of a modern hospital.

Several figures in white coats were moving back and forth between the beds, looking very busy.

Tang Feng withdrew his gaze. He had already guessed what kind of research they were doing here. The squad leader certainly wouldn't know the specifics, so he asked.

"When is that adult you mentioned coming back?"

"That sir doesn't usually leave here; he just happened to go out today. I believe he'll be back soon," the squad leader said respectfully.

At the same time, he was praying that the adult would return quickly and eliminate this dangerous individual in front of him.

Tang Feng waved his hand and walked forward, "This is none of your business."

The squad leader watched Tang Feng's retreating figure, then suddenly gritted his teeth and raised his rifle.

If we let him go in like that, he will definitely be punished when that person returns.

That would be worse than taking a gamble and risking everything.

The other person's attention was not on him at the moment, and they had their back to him. This was a golden opportunity that would never come again...

The squad leader suddenly noticed that, as the other party waved his hand, the scene before his eyes suddenly became distorted.

Then he saw his upside-down body, but this body was headless, and endless blood was gushing out from his neck.

He then realized that his head had been severed sometime during the night...

With a thud, the crisp sound of the skull hitting the ground echoed through the space.

But no one looked up in their direction, as if they had become accustomed to it all.

At that moment, the innermost door opened, and a white-coated man with gray hair pushed out a mobile bed, his voice sounding incredibly excited.

"Success! Another successful case!"

Several people in white coats quickly surrounded him.

"Quickly, put it in to soak!"

Several people deftly opened a cylindrical container, lifted the withered body on the bed, and threw it into the dark green solution.

They performed all of this with fluid movements, as if Tang Feng, the intruder, did not exist at all.

Tang Feng walked to the cylindrical container with great interest and examined the contents inside.

A moment later, he turned his head to look at the group of people in white coats. "Are you the only ones here?"

Nobody paid any attention to him.

Tang Feng grabbed someone at random, choking them, and said, "I'm asking you a question! Isn't there anyone else here?"

The man was being choked and coughed repeatedly, but he didn't seem very scared.

"Once that person returns, you probably won't be able to leave even if you wanted to."

"Then I'll wait for him here."

Tang Feng casually tossed the person in his hand aside and continued pacing in front of the cylindrical containers.

He had already roughly guessed what this space was like.

It was nothing more than a secret human experimentation site.

These people in white coats are enslaved scientific researchers, and the soldiers are there to guard them and maintain order inside.

They are all ordinary people.

As for magicians and strange people, I didn't see a single one.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. Keeping watch over these defenseless researchers doesn't require any magic; a gun is enough.

Tang Feng, however, became somewhat interested in the "that person" they were referring to.

Could it be the one who's been hiding behind the scenes all along?

Tang Feng quickly dismissed the idea.

Given the cautious nature of the person behind the scenes, if they really wanted to hide from him, they wouldn't still be staying underground so close to Binhai City.

While waiting for the strange man to arrive, Tang Feng carefully examined the remains in the container.

"It's interesting that you managed to preserve the corpse of the calamity beast."

Tang Feng clicked his tongue in amazement.

The monsters are not life forms of this world. If their corpses are left to decompose naturally in the air after they are destroyed, they will decompose naturally in a few days. However, the magical girls' Heart Gems are more convenient and faster, as they can directly absorb and decompose them into energy fragments.

But now, the fact that this group's research could preserve the corpses of the calamity beasts has opened his eyes to a whole new world.

"So... those intelligent monsters were your doing? You're researching how to fuse humans and monsters?"

The man in the white coat, who looked quite prestigious and had gray hair, looked over and made a disdainful sound.

"Those were just failed products."

"Oh?"

Tang Feng became interested, and just as he was about to continue questioning, a sharp shout came from afar.

"Who dares to cause trouble here?!"

A burly male figure appeared at the entrance of the passageway. His upper body muscles bulged exaggeratedly, and he was wearing only a small vest. His slightly protruding chin and exposed fangs indicated that he was not an ordinary human, but a monster.

His appearance is already very close to that of a real human; the most obvious difference is his pair of protruding fangs, which indicates that he is a monster of an extremely high level.

He saw the corpses of several soldiers on the ground and let out a violent roar, which caused the entire space to tremble slightly.

Someone actually dared to cause trouble here! And even killed one of his men! This was a provocation! He would never let that person die peacefully!

The strange man suddenly looked up at Tang Feng, "You did this?!"

Tang Feng, who was interrupted, looked over with displeasure and frowned slightly.

Did I give you permission to speak?

As Tang Feng finished speaking, one of the strange man's ears suddenly flew off, as if it had been severed by an invisible blade, and blood gushed out from the broken end.

The strange man's pupils contracted sharply. What just happened?! When did the other party attack?!

He didn't even sense a single fluctuation of magic!

You should know, he's a top-tier S-class monster!

Where did this powerful figure come from?!

Judging from her appearance, she clearly couldn't be a magical girl.

Is he a weirdo?!

There are monsters that look exactly like humans?!

He had lived for decades and had only ever seen one strange person who was indistinguishable from a human, whose abilities were like those of a god.

He ultimately chose to submit to that god.

Could it be that this strange person in front of me has also reached the same level?

Tang Feng ignored the strange man who was having a brainstorming session. After giving him a small warning, he continued chatting with the researcher.

To everyone's surprise, the researchers were as if they had seen a ghost. They were perfectly fine just a moment ago, but now their mouths were wide open, and their throats seemed to be stuck, so they couldn't say a word.

The great man they regarded as a god had his ear cut off by this person in front of them with incredible ease!

The profound and moving impact left their minds blank, as they stared at the scene before them in a daze.

Seeing that Tang Feng wasn't paying attention to him, the strange man quietly backed away.

Those who reach this level are not simple-minded fools; this person in front of him is clearly not someone he can scam.

We need to find a way to inform the Lord of this message so that He may come in person.

Just as he was about to retreat completely into the tunnel and prepare to run for his life, Tang Feng's voice rang out.

"Did I let you leave?"

The next instant, the monster's entire body was as if it had been sliced ​​by a laser, neatly divided into several large pieces.

The monster's limbs and severed abdomen were scattered on the ground, and blood gushed out like a fountain, staining the entire ceiling red.

This level of injury wouldn't kill an S-class monster.

Tang Feng slowly walked over, squatted down slightly, and looked at the broken pieces on the ground.

"That person probably didn't tell you anything about me, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't have come back to die. Clearly, you've been abandoned."

The strange man shifted his upper body, then suddenly gasped, "Impossible! He couldn't have done that! This place still holds value for him!"

"But the facts are right in front of us. He was afraid that I would trace his location back to him from here, so he deliberately cut off all ties with this place. Everything here is his pawn."

"No, it can't be..." The strange man's voice gradually weakened.

"Tell me everything you know about him, and I can give you a quick death," Tang Feng issued his ultimatum.

After a long silence, the strange man gave a bitter laugh and said weakly, "I don't have the strength to speak anymore. Come closer, and I'll tell you everything about the master."

Tang Feng then stepped forward.

Just then, the strange man suddenly revealed a ferocious expression.

"Go to hell!"

The various fragments of his body suddenly expanded, and an extremely dangerous and powerful energy poured out from them.

At the same time, the monster mustered all its strength and let out a final roar.

"I will never betray my lord!"

"I will prove! I am not a discarded pawn!"

"Let me show you the pinnacle of research here!"

With a deafening roar, the monster's body exploded, and an endless storm of energy swept across the entire underground space.
