"Body Sect...Body Sect!" Jing Hongchen's eyes breathed fire.
Previous pursuits were fruitless.
They were only halfway through the chase when the Body Sect Master Du Busi behind them blew up the corridor.
Huge rocks fell suddenly, like a landslide, completely sealing the passage.
When they finally dug it out, Body Sect's people had already disappeared without a trace.
Jing Hongchen mobilized the army immediately and put the entire city under martial law.
Teams of heavily armed taxi soldiers shuttled through the streets and alleys of Ming Capital, checking every suspicious person.
The city gates are tightly closed and no one is allowed to enter or exit at will.
But he himself knew very well that this had no practical significance at all.
With the strength of the Body Sect strong men, how can the army stop them?
Those people are all beings with the titles Douluo and Soul Douluo. Any one of them can fight in and out of thousands of armies.
If they want to leave, they may not be able to find it even if they turn the entire Ming Capital upside down.
Just then--
"Hall Master..."
A trembling voice sounded.
Lin Jiayi came to Jing Hongchen and lowered his head, not daring to look at him.
His round face was full of fear, a thin layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and his lips were trembling slightly.
"How is the situation?" Jing Hongchen tried his best to calm down his mood and asked in a low voice.
Lin Jiayi lowered his head and his voice trembled slightly. "The situation at the warehouse is not bad..."
"Nothing is missing. All the high-end Soul Tool stored in it are there."
Hearing what he said, Jing Hongchen let out a sigh of relief.
Finally heard some good news.
It seems that the purpose of the Body Sect's trip is that Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast Embryo.
They actually dared to use the entire sect's strength to launch a surprise attack. This revenge must be avenged!
However--
"But..."
The two words Lin Jiayi said again made Jing Hongchen's heart tighten again.
He suddenly turned around and stared at his capable subordinate:
"But what? Stop hesitating and say it clearly!"
Lin Jiayi gritted his teeth and said with a trembling voice, "But, Experimental Subject No. 1..."
"Missing..."
"What?!"
Jing Hongchen felt his eyes go dark, his body swayed and he almost fell!
Lin Jiayi hurriedly stepped forward to support him.
Jing Hongchen I felt as if the sky was falling, my chest felt tight, and I was so sad that I felt like I was going to die immediately.
His face instantly turned pale as paper, his lips were trembling violently, and his eyes were filled with incredible light.
"You, say it again..."
This time, even his voice became a little trembling.
Lin Jiayi said in a trembling voice, "Experimental Subject No. 1... is missing, Hall Master."
"Wow--!"
Jing Hongchen A mouthful of blood spurted out!
The blood spilled on the ground was shocking!
He fell directly into Lin Jiayi's arms, his eyes were closed tightly, and his face was as golden as paper!
Lin Jiayi was so frightened that he quickly supported him and his voice changed the tone. "Hall Master! Hall Master!"
What does Experimental Subject No. 1! mean?
It means the highest achievement of the entire Mingde Hall research on Soul Tool!
Although it is only a semi-finished product, it is equivalent to the crystallization of the Sun Moon Empire's thousands of years of research on Soul Tool!
It is the hard work of countless generations of Soul Engineer, countless days and nights of study, and the accumulation of countless rare materials!
Its value cannot be measured by money at all!
If we say that what is stored in the Mingde Hall's ordinary Soul Tool warehouse is Empire's wealth.
Then, what Experimental Subject No. 1 represents is the future of the Empire!
Jing Hongchen looked at Lin Jiayi with a pale face, and his eyes were full of fear.
He was very aware of the seriousness of this matter.
Let's talk about the Mingde Hall being attacked by a sneak attack and causing heavy losses.
He can also rely on his prestige in the Sun Moon Empire to suppress him. After all, he is the master of the Mingde Hall.
It's Level 9 Soul Engineer, it's Empire pillar. The royal family always has to give him some face.
But Experimental Subject No. 1 was stolen, which he couldn't afford!
This is no longer Mingde Hall's loss, but a major event related to the safety of the entire country!
Once Experimental Subject No. 1's technology falls into the hands of an enemy country, the consequences will be disastrous!
Taking a deep breath and barely suppressing the surging energy and blood in his body, Jing Hongchen struggled to stand firm.
He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and asked in a low voice, "Who else knows about this matter?"
His voice was low and rapid, and his eyes flashed with a complicated light.
There's fear, there's anger, and there's a little bit of... luck?
Lin Jiayi quickly shook his head and said, "I went to Laboratory No. 1 to inspect it myself."
"After discovering that Experimental Subject No. 1 was missing, I immediately closed the door to the laboratory No. 1 and changed the entry password."
"Then I reported it to you as soon as possible. No other person knew about it."
Jing Hongchen reluctantly calmed down his mood and nodded.
"Well done."
He paused and his eyes became solemn. "No one can know about this matter. Do you understand?"
Lin Jiayi nodded heavily. "Yes, Hall Master. I understand."
The two looked at each other and saw deep worry in each other's eyes.
If the news of Experimental Subject No. 1's disappearance spreads.
Not only Mingde Hall will suffer disaster, but the entire Sun Moon Empire will fall into a huge crisis.
They must retrieve Experimental Subject No. 1 as soon as possible.
At any cost.
Jing Hongchen's face turned red and white for a while, like a surging tide, and he was filled with hatred for the Body Sect.
His only hope now is that the technological content contained in Experimental Subject No. 1 itself is too high and cannot be used at will.
Those Core Array, those energy transmission systems, and those exquisite designs can only be understood by the Mingde Hall's top Soul Engineer.
Once the body is forcibly disassembled, the built-in self-destruction device will immediately be triggered.
This is the last line of insurance designed to prevent theft.
Now it seems that the original choice was correct enough.
But even so, the loss of many precious metals is still an astronomical figure.
These losses cannot be made up for in the short term.
Fortunately, Mingde Hall has extremely high autonomy.
As long as the stolen information of Experimental Subject No. 1 is not exposed.
As long as the royal family doesn't know that this core secret has been stolen, he still has time, opportunity, and hope to save everything.
Standing up straight, Jing Hongchen took a deep breath.
His originally violent mood miraculously calmed down when faced with such a critical situation.
The more times like this, the less you can panic. The more times like this, the more you need to think calmly and act decisively.
"Jiayi."
His voice was low and steady, regaining its former majesty.
Lin Jiayi hurried forward. "Master, please give me your instructions."
"Pass my order." Jing Hongchen said word for word, "Everyone present today must keep their mouths shut."
"Anyone who dares to spread the word about what happened today will be killed without mercy."
"Yes." Lin Jiayi felt a chill in his heart and solemnly agreed.
Jing Hongchen continued, "Large-scale auctions, pay attention to all high-end auctions."
"If Experimental Subject No. 1 is found, immediately photograph it and take it back at all costs."
"No matter how much money you spend, no matter who the other party is, you must get it back."
"Yes."
A cold light flashed in Jing Hongchen's eyes, "Also, in the name of the Mingde Hall, I will issue a killing mission to all Mercenary Guild and Assassin Guild."
"A high price reward is offered, Body Sect, for the heads of all sect members."
"Leave no one behind!"
Lin Jiayi took a deep breath, but nodded heavily. "Yes."
