Luo Yan looked at her without saying anything, but simply drew his ' Star Splitter Rift'.

Guan Qi glanced at the longsword covered in dark blue cracks and continued, "You want to destroy the 'bioweapon manufacturing method,' don't you?"

Do you really think that destroying it will solve everything?

"Won't other institutions conduct research?"

While busily typing on the keyboard, Wei Jie said, "She's right. The Chu Family won't be the first to conduct this research, nor will they be the last."

"The arrival of these behemoths has changed our worldview and values."

Luo Yan kept his eyes straight ahead.

"I can't stop that many things."

I know that.

"But I can stop what's happening right now."

That's enough.

Guan Qi's gaze kept shifting back and forth between Luo Yan and Wei Jie.

A moment later, she put away her two pistols.

"Then there's nothing more for me here."

She turned around and took two steps.

But then it stopped.

"We could have sold it for a high price."

Luo Yan said calmly, "There are some kinds of money I don't want to earn."

Guan Qi glanced back at him, then left.

Luo Yan watched her walk away until she disappeared from sight, until her bio-gray light left the underground research lab.

He then sheathed his sword.

At this point, Wei Jie said, "As you requested, I will extract the relevant information."

"Just press this key to delete."

He pointed to the 'Enter' key on the keyboard.

Luo Yan placed his hand on the screen and said, "I'm not a computer expert."

"But when it comes to finding someone, it's about killing someone."

I think my abilities are passable.

"If I find that you haven't deleted these files completely enough..."

I will come to find you.

After speaking, Luo Yan finally typed on the keyboard.

A progress bar appears on the screen.

The data files were deleted very quickly.

Luo Yan waved his hand and said, "Let's go. I'll inform the Qingyang Legion; they'll take over this place soon."

But Wei Jie showed no intention of leaving.

He even chuckled, "I'm not leaving."

"I've already helped you with these things; it'll be troublesome if I leave."

"You mean the Chu Family?" Luo Yan asked. "You can rest assured, the Chu Family will soon disappear from Qingyang City."

Wei Jie smiled and shook his head, "You underestimate the Chu Family."

"It can't be that simple."

"Moreover, even if the Chu Family is gone, there are still the Hong Family, the Zhao Family, and the Lin family."

"Some are families or forces that want to gain 'knowledge' from me."

"Moreover, they probably won't be too polite to me."

"So I'll wait for the Qingyang Legion. At least that place respects knowledgeable people."

Luo Yan didn't force him, and picked up his phone to notify Zeng Guangming.

He walked up to the small silver mecha and asked, "The Chu Family is researching small mechas?"

Wei Jie pulled up a chair and sat down. "These are the results of previous research; the project was discontinued later."

Luo Yan asked curiously, "Why?"

"The price-performance ratio is too low."

Wei Jie shrugged and said, "Building a small mecha is no simpler than building a regular one."

"You've fought them before, you should know, these things are like sparrows."

"It may be small, but it has basically everything a normal mecha should have."

"It's cheaper than conventional mechs only in terms of consumables and energy."

"However, because it's a smaller model, some parts are actually more intricate than those of a regular mecha, which makes it difficult to reduce the cost."

"And its function is to provide a significant boost to users below the Profound Comprehension Realm."

"Above the Profound Comprehension Realm, it's just a piece of scrap metal."

"The growth potential was too low, so after building these few units, the project was shelved."

"These three finished products are only used by the guards in the research lab."

Luo Yan nodded.

Although Wei Jie said the growth potential was too low, the significant increase in power for those below the Profound Comprehension Realm made it worth having.

The main reason this product cannot be widely adopted is not its low growth potential, but rather its excessively high cost.

If the cost is reasonable, there are plenty of companies willing to produce it.

At this moment, Luo Yan received a report from the Xie Family Brothers.

They have already defeated their respective opponents.

Upon hearing that the Qingyang Legion was coming, the Xie Family Brothers took their leave, as their identities were not something they could easily explain to the Qingyang Legion.

An hour later.

Clang, clang, clang.

A series of footsteps echoed outside the research hall.

then.

Zeng Guangming, from the second squad of the Qingyang Legion, led Captain Shen Biao and others in.

When they saw Luo Yan, they all shook their heads.

Zeng Guangming had someone take over the hall and various documents, and then called Luo Yan over.

"Do you know how much trouble you're getting into by doing this?" Zeng Guangming pointed to his feet and said, "This is legal land approved by the Undercity. Attacking this place is tantamount to challenging the rules of the Undercity."

"If it weren't for this research lab, if it weren't for this evidence..."

"I can arrest you right now, and you may face trial in Qingyang City!"

Luo Yan looked at the Squad Leader without saying a word.

Zeng Guangming looked around and snorted, "The Chu Family Undercity's trust. I think that old bastard Chu Zhao is going to rot in jail this time!"

He reached out and patted Luo Yan's shoulder. "On the surface, I can only pretend you were never here. This matter cannot be publicized, otherwise it will affect the credibility of the Undercity."

"Therefore, the Corps can only give you some rewards privately."

"Although you were too reckless, you destroyed this place, which saved us a lot of trouble and eliminated potential hazards."

"As for your henchmen, we can pretend we don't know anything about them and won't ask any questions."

Luo Yan nodded and pointed to the remaining ' Silver Warrior '.

I can do without the reward.

"But I hope the corps can help me get this back."

"I want to make some adjustments, such as its paint job; I want to change the main color to crimson."

"A small mech?"

Zeng Guangming looked over and said, "Crimson as the main color... Crimson Demon."

"You plan to use this small mecha for the 'Red Oni' identity?"

Luo Yan nodded.

Zeng Guangming also said, "No problem, I will have the engineering department help you with the debugging and modification."

"That's fine."

"The corps will only give you an extra 'heavy weapon' as a reward."

"Although you already have one."

"However, when dealing with 'Black Witches' in the future, it's best to distinguish them from the identity of ' Luo Yan ' in some details."

Luo Yan seemed to be deep in thought.

Zeng Guangming continued, "Your Visualization Technique and Combat Skill don't have a strong personal signature, so it doesn't matter."

"But if weapons are not differentiated, it is easy for flaws to appear."

"By changing the weapon and adding this small mech, at least visually, we can distinguish between the two identities."

"If you want to delve deeper into the specifics, then learn another ' Ultimate Skill '."

"A unique Ultimate Skill that only the 'Red Demon' possesses."

A strange glint flashed in Luo Yan's eyes.

Besides "A Strip of Rainbow Over the Belt", he still hasn't learned "Eyes Cut Off Flying Geese" and "The Yi River Wind and Smoke".

It seems it's time to learn one of these techniques as the 'Red Oni's' trump card.
