"I'm going in first. You can't come in. I might not be coming out for the next few days. If you need anything, just call someone," Cold-Blooded Thirteenth said. In the end, he chose to continue with what he had been doing and put Ye Lang's matter aside for the time being, letting Ye Lang enjoy himself for a while longer.
Of course, this wasn't out of kindness, nor was it because he couldn't bear to harm Ye Lang. Rather, he could take his time with Ye Lang's matter, but his own task couldn't be completed immediately; someone was already urging him to hurry up.
Once he goes in, it's hard to say how long it will take. The "several days" he mentioned isn't a few days within ten days; it's any number greater than one.
According to his past records, the longest he ever stayed in there was a full six months, which made the entire Cold-Blooded Group curious and speculating. However, his performance surprised the Cold-Blooded Group, so after that, no one cared how long he stayed in there.
"Understood, go ahead without worry!" Ye Lang said nonchalantly. He didn't care about Cold-Blooded Thirteenth at all; he didn't care whether Cold-Blooded Thirteenth lived or died, he could go wherever he wanted.
"..." A black line appeared on Cold-Blooded Thirteenth's forehead, then slowly disappeared. "You better behave yourself. This is the Cold-Blooded Group. You could be killed at any moment. If you encounter those ruthless people, I can't save you! Especially if you see Cold-Blooded Fifth, get as far away as you can!"
"Oh, I see..." Ye Lang replied casually, and anyone could tell that he didn't take it to heart.
"Forget it, it's the same whether you die or not. It's just that the chances are a little lower, but it's not a difficult thing for me!" Cold-Blooded Thirteenth said indifferently. Of course, it would be good if Ye Lang lived, but it would be the same for him if he died. He could still study Ye Lang's physique.
He has a way to keep a corpse intact for a long time, and even make the corpse move freely, but without thought, becoming a living dead!
"Oh!" Ye Lang didn't react at all, only uttering an "oh".
Cold-Blooded Thirteenth did the same. He opened the second door of the Alchemy Laboratory and prepared to enter the second laboratory. He did not deliberately hide it from Ye Lang and opened it directly in front of Ye Lang because he felt it was unnecessary. He thought Ye Lang would definitely not understand it.
However, he would never know that Ye Lang could understand it, or even open such a door without looking at it, it would just take a little bit of time.
Ye Lang quickly proved this point with his actions!
That's why Ye Lang didn't go inside at the moment. He didn't have time to go in right now, so he took this opportunity to digest the books here.
Just as Cold-Blooded Thirteenth stepped into the Second Laboratory, Ye Lang suddenly asked out of the blue, "What does Cold-Blooded Fifth look like?"
"??" Cold-Blooded Thirteenth was puzzled and stopped there looking at Ye Lang.
"Didn't you tell me to keep an eye on him? How can I keep an eye on him if you don't tell me what he looks like?" Ye Lang asked casually, as if the question was unimportant and just a casual inquiry.
"The person you see who looks like me, with the number five on his clothes, is Cold-Blooded Fifth. He's a ruthless killer who doesn't blink an eye. Even if I offend him, he'll still kill me," Cold-Blooded Thirteenth replied, reminding me again.
"Oh, I see. He's wearing a mask and a trench coat with a number on it, just like you. It seems like everyone here is the same. It's just that your clothes seem a little different from theirs." Ye Lang looked at Cold-Blooded Thirteenth, who was still wearing a mask.
In the Cold-Blooded Group, no matter where or what the occasion, even at the Cold-Blooded Group's headquarters, they all wear masks and black cloaks. Simply put, even members of the Cold-Blooded Group themselves don't know what the other person looks like.
They only reveal themselves when they are carrying out a mission alone, and only when necessary. However, this revelation may not be their true face; they may be wearing makeup.
Some might wonder why, given their circumstances, they would attract attention in such a bustling city, and why they would be wearing masks and cloaks.
Actually, no one here would doubt this, because there are quite a few people dressed like this, in fact, a great many!
In the Vermilion Bird Empire, or rather, throughout the entire continent, many magicians like to wear black cloaks and cover their faces. Although they don't wear masks, they still cover the upper half of their faces.
This is to maintain a sense of mystery. At the same time, it is also a symbol awarded by the Magic Academy— Magic Robe, which is an absolute symbol of status!
This outfit is also popular among many travelers, and some alchemists and mercenaries also like to use this kind of cloak for convenience.
"I thought you guys only wore masks when you were out, but I didn't expect your hobby to be so peculiar that you even wear them at home..." Ye Lang said softly, then ignored Cold-Blooded Thirteenth and continued reading his book.
Naturally, Cold-Blooded Thirteenth ignored Ye Lang and went into his Second Laboratory, then the third, hiding inside and working on the thing he had brought with him...
After a long time, Ye Lang finally finished reading all the books here. He picked up one of them, stood in the laboratory for a while and thought about it, and then walked towards a door.
"What the hell? They didn't even tell me how to open the door! Luckily, I'm not completely useless; even if they didn't tell me, I could still open it!"
Ye Lang fiddled with something in front of that door for a while. If anyone was nearby, they would have seen that his hands were emitting bursts of light, and magical elements were radiating a mysterious aura.
Despair...
After Ye Lang's efforts, the door opened naturally. Although it took quite a while, it was finally able to open normally without any damage.
When Ye Lang entered the room, he stood there in a daze for a moment...
"Uh, did I go to the wrong room again?" Ye Lang realized that the room inside was not the ordinary room he had just entered, but a more complex laboratory.
Upon seeing this, Ye Lang considered retreating. He didn't care about these laboratories anyway, but soon he discovered something rather peculiar.
He saw some strange alchemical devices with Alchemy Array he had never seen before, and these seemed to be the kind of alchemy.
Because these alchemical devices were not complete, but only some scattered remnants, and were also abandoned and useless.
Presumably, these are the parts that Cold-Blooded Thirteenth made here, and the successful ones are already inside, while this part hasn't been cleaned up yet.
