Taking over an existing shell

The Ohm Brand Jet flew at 800 kilometers per hour. City J was relatively far from City Z, with a straight-line distance of around 8,600 kilometers.

Eleven hours later, the plane appeared over City Z.

But Kurapika's team did not stop in the urban area, instead heading for the nearby outskirts.

A rare modern building stood amid the vast mountain forests, looking somewhat out of place.

Inside the cockpit.

Ohm's synthesized electronic voice rang out. "Multiple high-energy life-forms detected underground to the north. That should be the House of Evolution's real base."

"Land directly. Let's go meet those people," Kurapika instructed.

"OK!"

Before long, the plane landed vertically in a mountain forest, and Ohm returned to human form.

The moment the group appeared, a bespectacled man whose bangs covered half his eyes adjusted his glasses in a monitoring room deep underground.

"Huh? How did these people get here?"

He was Dr. Ginos, the founder of the House of Evolution. More precisely, he was one of Geno's clones.

He picked up the internal phone. "No. 106, some people have appeared above the base. Send your subordinates over and dispose of them."

"Understood."

But just as he made that decision, Geno No. 162's expression suddenly changed. He saw the intruders rapidly excavate a tunnel leading to the base.

Before Geno No. 106 could send out his subordinates, Kurapika and his companions had already jumped down the tunnel and arrived directly in an underground plaza.

This is bad! Geno No. 162 paled in alarm. A test was currently underway in that underground plaza, and the test subject was right there.

Meanwhile, in the underground plaza.

Asura Kabuto saw Kurapika and his four companions jump down from the opening above, and a sick smile spread across his face.

"Haha... Is this another new test?
