Chapter 26 Cooperation
After leaving the mask shop, Bai Ge and Aite came to a villa area where the abandoned laboratory in District 20 was located.
The laboratory was built underground in this villa complex. According to the information, there was more than one entrance and exit to the laboratory, presumably to prevent ghoul riots.
Once a ghoul gets out of control and riots, the existence of multiple entrances and exits is very convenient, whether for the experimenters to escape or for dispatching investigators to suppress the ghouls.
Based on the information, Bai Ge chose the original main entrance of the laboratory to enter.
This is because considering that the laboratory is secretly used by people of unknown origin and number, and in order to conceal their presence when entering and exiting, they are likely to use more remote and hidden entrances, so the chance of being discovered by entering from the front will be lower.
After entering the passage leading to the laboratory entrance, Bai Ge slowed down his pace, focused his attention on his perception ability, and used ripples.
There are many media for transmitting ripples, and since Bai Ge's ripple cultivation is far superior to that of humans, even if it is not the best transmitting medium, it can still be transmitted very far.
It sends and receives weak ripples to sense distant objects. The principle is similar to the echolocation of bats, and is more suitable for the current environment.
Although his own perception ability is not weak, the same thing still applies: ripples are more suitable for detecting the current environment.
The two of them walked slowly forward, and all the password doors that originally required identity verification were open.
At the same time, in Area 6, underground laboratory.
Akihiro Kano, who had just finished a transformation operation, wiped the sweat off his forehead and sighed softly as he looked at the dead experimental subject on the operating table.
"As expected, the success rate of the half-ghoul transformation surgery is still too low. The survival rate of the test subjects depends entirely on luck."
Having said that, he turned his head and looked at several sleeping chambers with special markings standing not far from the operating table.
Next to these sleeping chambers, there is something placed in a glass cover.
It was a stone mask with an ancient style and many cracks.
"In comparison, this thing is more worthy of study."
Akihiro Kano muttered to himself as he took off his surgical gloves and gown, then took out a new pair of cotton gloves and put them on.
He came to the table where the stone mask was placed, opened the glass cover, and carefully held the mask up to a position parallel to his face.
After hesitating for a long time, reason finally overcame impulse.
"No, we can't be impatient yet. Not until we find a way to resist the sunlight."
He put the stone mask back in its place, then left the operating room and entered a room deep in the corridor.
After several identity verifications, the door opened.
Surprisingly, there were no experimental instruments in the room, only a chair and an oil painting hanging on the wall.
It was a bust of a woman, with long, slightly curly purple hair, a unique appearance, and...
An incomparable perfect body that a certain loser lady could never achieve in her life.
Akihiro Kano was not proficient in painting, but this was the only painting he completed almost in one go.
"If it were you..."
Akihiro Kano sat on a stool, muttering to himself, his eyes fixed on the oil painting on the wall, a look of deep fascination in his eyes.
Back to Bai Ge.
He and Et stood in the dim laboratory hall, staring at each other, both speechless.
"I'm impressed, seriously." Bai Ge complained, covering his face with his mask. "Don't protagonists usually get lucky and find the villain's lair right away?"
"This is so different from what I thought!"
Ai Te didn't reply, but he couldn't help but complain in his heart: "Do you think you're the protagonist of some comic? Hey! At least be serious, you bastard!"
Seeing that Bai Ge was so serious and careful along the way, she thought he had discovered some important clues, but in the end she came up empty-handed.
Suddenly, Bai Ge sneezed, then narrowed his eyes and looked at Eite: "Hey, you just now, weren't you secretly cursing me in your heart?"
At:!!!
"It must be your illusion!"
Ai Te turned his head away, not daring to look at Bai Ge.
"Really? I don't believe it, unless..."
"Unless what?" Et frowned, feeling that things were not simple.
"You'll know soon!"
Bai Ge had a wicked smile on his face, rubbing his hands and slowly approaching Et.
"Wait, are you..."
"Don't come near me!!!"
A few minutes later~
"Hiccup~"
Bai Ge wiped the remaining blood from the corner of his mouth and burped with satisfaction.
And Et fell to the ground weakly, barely having the strength to move.
For the first time in her life, she was so glad that she was a ghoul. If she were a human, she would have been sucked dry long ago.
Bai Ge felt much better after having a proper meal for the first time in a long time. He looked at the time and saw that it was not enough time to go to the next destination, so he decided to go back to the port area first.
"That's all for today. I have other work to do during the day, so I'll probably have to trouble you with the rest of the investigation."
"what?"
Et looked at Bai Ge in disbelief, and had a new understanding of the thickness of the man in front of him.
"Why should I..."
Seeing that Ate was about to refuse, Bai Ge immediately said, "Don't be so hasty to refuse. How about we make a deal?"
"You came to my house to find me, and I forced you to come here for an investigation. The reason you were willing to 'endure humiliation' was simply because you still had some illusions about me agreeing to become the new One-Eyed King."
Eite nodded. She couldn't refute Bai Ge's analysis.
"However, I still say that I definitely won't be the king, but I can help you find a candidate and guide him to your side when necessary."
"I think I have good vision." Bai Ge looked at Et.
At thought about it carefully, then said, "You are right. I can accept this exchange."
No matter what, by connecting with Bai Ge, the two sides are no longer in a hostile state, which is always a good thing for her plan.
All things are difficult at the beginning. She has now figured out some of Bai Ge's style of doing things. Being able to cooperate with Bai Ge for the first time, she has the confidence to cooperate with Bai Ge more times.
The risk was high, so high that if she wasn't careful, she would become Bai Ge's food. But the reward was also high.
As long as it is managed properly, Bai Ge will become her strongest trump card to turn the situation around.
"OK, that's settled then. Happy cooperation."
"Pleasant to work with."
The two shook hands, officially reaching a cooperation agreement.
Just as Et wanted to use Bai Ge as a trump card to turn the situation around, Bai Ge also had a certain purpose in finally choosing to cooperate with Et.
When investigating something that you don't want humans to know, the identity of a ghoul can be very convenient, but you still need to use your connections and manpower, such as finding the location of the laboratory this time.
The existence of Et, the bronze tree cadre, makes up for this well.
