"Shen Tang Morgan's real headquarters?" Electronic Sheep had been somewhat skeptical when Qiu Ming previously said that the Shen Tang Morgan building on the Fifth Layer was merely a facade. Only upon seeing the strange, giant ship-like structure before him did he finally believe Qiu Ming.
"But why did Shen Tang Morgan build its headquarters in such a hidden place? New Shanghai 0297 is all their territory anyway. Wouldn't it be better to work openly in some office tower?"
"Because the nature of our work isn't convenient to reveal to ordinary people outside," Qiu Ming said. "We hole up here for everyone's benefit. So, are you ready to go in together?"
Electronic Sheep had been fine until Qiu Ming mentioned it. Now he could not help growing nervous again. The location of this complex was so concealed that it was clearly highly classified. Moreover, judging by its sheer size and the busy traffic, there had to be plenty of people inside, while there were only two of them.
Zhang Heng was skilled, but Electronic Sheep was not naive enough to believe Zhang Heng alone could take on Shen Tang Morgan's entire base. In other words, if their identities were exposed, they would likely be like meat buns thrown to a dog—gone for good. Not only would they fail to rescue Xu Qian, they might end up trapped in there themselves.
But love was boundless. Thinking of how Xu Qian's fate was still unknown, Electronic Sheep felt that whether dragon's lair or tiger's den lay ahead, he had to brave it. Still, to be safe, he asked again, "I'm not a Clone. If Shen Tang Morgan finds out, they can't really do much to me, can they? At worst, they'll ask me to leave and fine me a little?"
