Dragon and Tiger!

As the Rat King spoke, a hound-like beast with a bright red body walked out from the heavily Containment Zone behind him.

Sequence 011: The Beast of a Thousand Throats.

While the Rat King was sending rats to help Yang Lin find someone, he accidentally saw Thousand Throat's containment chamber and ordered the rats to release it.

Qianhou spoke in Bai Ye's voice, directly opening several voice-activated doors beside him.

The Beast of a Thousand Throats can mimic anyone's voice, and doors that require voice control to open can be opened with just a shout.

Seeing this, Bai Ye twisted his neck, Beast of a Thousand Throats let out a low growl. A pair of the Blood Clan -like wings shot out from its back, and countless sharp spikes began to grow on its body!

Thousand Throat has a nickname: Beast Tank.

In a one-on-one melee fight between an ordinary Tier 3 fighter and him, the odds are usually 20/80.

Yes, Thousand Throat's two claws split the opponent in eight seconds.

Upon seeing this, Bai Ye grinned, and the two black and white phantoms behind him split into four paths: cyan, white, black, and red.

Green represents the Azure Dragon, white represents the White Tiger, black represents the Black Tortoise, and red represents the Vermilion Bird.

These are the Four Symbols.

"Think back to how you were arrested in the first place."

Deep within the Containment Zone.

Yang Lin followed the little mouse to a containment chamber, inside which was placed a sword.

The sword is predominantly brown, resembling a tree trunk, yet it is covered with countless pulsating, blood-red life lines.

Number 0 21-7: Poplar.

Sequence 021 Sword Forger, its specific purpose is unknown, no experiments have been conducted, the reason (see confidential answer n49-2) is that it was used by (information has been hidden).

Looking through the glass at the sword called Yangshu, Yang Lin somehow heard the thumping of a heart.

Thump, thump...

"This sword is alive."

The rat summoned a group of companions, who swarmed forward and chewed open the door of the containment chamber.

Yang Lin hurriedly entered the containment chamber, but what he saw was a vast array of electric fences.

Seeing this, Jiang Chen flipped his wrist and released Bai Qi, who, despite the electric net, reached out and pulled out the sword.

"It doesn't seem to be anything special. Is this what you're looking for?"

Jiang Chen then instructed Bai Qi to hand the sword to Yang Lin. As Yang Lin grasped the sword, the pounding of his heart intensified.

He didn't speak, he just stared blankly at the sword in his hand.

"What are you spacing out for? We've got the stuff, aren't you leaving?"

"Hello?"

As Jiang Chen spoke, he waved his hand in front of Yang Lin's eyes, but Yang Lin did not react at all.

Are you stupid?

Boom!!

Just then, a loud bang suddenly came from the ground above, and the entire base below began to shake!

Jiang Chen suddenly looked up. "The Monster Alliance has arrived?"

"No, it shouldn't be that fast."

But whatever it is, it's not a good sign, and just then, Yang Lin suddenly went mad.

What should we do?

"I can't just leave him here and run away, otherwise I won't be able to explain it to Seth. Ugh, this is such a hassle!"

"Bai Qi!"

Jiang Chen waved his hand and released Bai Qi, who then carried Yang Lin and prepared to escape.

He was about to run when a figure blocked his way.

Upon seeing that person, Jiang Chen's pupils suddenly contracted, because that person was none other than himself!

It's Bai Ye!

"... Now it's all good, we don't have to walk anymore."

Bai Ye took two steps in one, appearing as if by teleportation.

But he ignored Jiang Chen and his gaze fell directly on Yang Lin.

At that moment, Yang Lin suddenly opened his eyes.

He flipped over and jumped off Bai Qi, gripping the Yang Shu Sword tightly in his hand. Jiang Chen quickly said something upon seeing this.

"You're finally awake. If you hadn't woken up, neither of us would have woken up at all."

Yang Lin looked at Bai Ye, "Who is he?"

Upon seeing this, Jiang Chen took a step back and whispered, "That's Bai Ye, the one I told you about, the current leader of the Nine-Tailed Fox. He's incredibly ruthless, more monstrous than a monster."

Is he Bai Ye?

Yang Lin held his sword in both hands and assumed a blocking stance, but Bai Ye unexpectedly smiled.

"I know you. Your name is Yang Lin, and your father's Yang Yan. He used to work at the North Ridge City Public Security Bureau. Am I right?"

"That's right."

After receiving Yang Lin's reply, Bai Ye continued, "Speaking of which, you have a great connection with the Nine-Tailed Fox."

"This is a little-known past. The first person to propose the Nine-Tailed Fox Plan was your father, Yang Yan."

"After proposing this plan, your father went into hiding, faked his death, and secretly created the Nine-Tailed Fox organization."

"It can be said that the Nine-Tailed Fox was entirely created by your father. Although he failed to lead the Nine-Tailed Fox to its peak, he laid the foundation for Nine-Tailed Fox."

"This is crucial."

"Unfortunately, your father risked his life to participate in the containment operation and tragically passed away."

"Although I never met him, I still feel sorry for him."

"Can I trust you?" Yang Lin asked, raising his sword.

Bai Ye looked at Jiang Chen beside him, "If you don't believe me, do you believe him?"

"A non-human monster."

Yang Lin glanced at Jiang Chen. "Just because I don't believe him doesn't mean I have to believe you."

Bai Ye laughed, "Being cautious is good, but you also need the ability to judge right from wrong. If I wanted to take you two down, it would be incredibly easy for me."

"Yang Lin, everyone has their place, some of which are predetermined from birth, like you."

Do you think you should be standing there?

Yang Lin didn't move, but fell into deep thought. Seeing this, Jiang Chen said, "What kind of good bird is Nine-Tailed Fox? How much better are they than us?"

"Regarding what Bai Ye did..."

Bump!

Before Jiang Chen could finish speaking, a white phantom darted out and pinned him against the wall.

"When did you become the one to speak here?"

Bai Ye's gaze turned cold as Yang Lin suddenly spoke up, "I don't object to the Nine-Tailed Fox capturing those monsters; it's the same as the police capturing criminals."

"But if I may be so bold, everything I have seen and heard along the way has been about how the Nine-Tailed Fox kills ten good people in order to kill one evil person."

Do you think this is right?

Bai Ye: "Have you ever thought that a criminal might kill a thousand good people, while we only sacrificed ten people to save nine hundred and ninety good people?"

"You think this is wrong?"

Yang Lin frowned deeply. "I think this is wrong. How can human lives be used as bargaining chips?"

"However, your words have enlightened me."

"Judging from the fact that you can say such things and value human lives as chips, you don't care about human lives at all. The lives of ordinary people may be worthless to you."

Bai Ye's smile gradually faded. "But the Nine-Tailed Fox is your father's masterpiece. Are you going to deny your father's decision?"

Yang Lin drew his sword, saying, "Regardless of whether the Nine-Tailed Fox originated from my father, I know that its original purpose was good."

"It's just that someone led it down the wrong path, like you."

Bai Ye's gaze gradually turned cold. "Nothing in this world can be perfect. If you can't tolerate any flaws, you'll never accomplish anything great."

"Short-term sacrifices are inevitable in order to achieve lasting peace."

"Everyone has their own sense of justice, but blind righteousness will only lead to breakage, and blindly moving forward will inevitably result in setbacks."

"What is crooked will become straight, what is bent will become upright, what is low will be filled, what is worn out will be renewed, what is little will be gained, what is much will be confusing."

"Do you understand? People always have to learn to turn a blind eye to one thing."

"If you want to change the Nine-Tailed Fox, you can join the Nine-Tailed Fox, prove your abilities, and after I die, you can unleash your full potential."

Yang Lin turned his gaze to Jiang Chen, "Although I don't like him, I agree with one of the things he said."

"Once humans have seen the truth, they can no longer survive in lies."

"I can't turn a blind eye to this, so I refuse."
