"..." Guan Hongge looked at the meat sauce in front of him. Mori, who was behind him, quickly came over and handed him a booklet. Lu Li's name had disappeared from the booklet.

Every year, transmigrators arrive in the Starshine World, bringing with them all sorts of technologies and tools. Most of these are abandoned or transferred to illegal organizations because they don't align with mainstream values.

Among these items was a document called the Contract Register, which was obtained by Guan Hongge and his group. Anyone who signed their name on the contract engraved on it was considered to have signed their name on the register itself.

The Contract Register can provide information such as whether the signatory is alive or dead, their exact location, and whether they have violated the contract. Mori previously used this register to confirm Lu Li's location and then notified Guan Hongge to kill Lu Li directly.

Once a living being dies, the name on the Contract Register will disappear. Guan Hongge shrunk in size, took the register, and examined it carefully. At the same time, he had a thought, and a large amount of white mist filled the surrounding space to Reconnaissance and sense the surrounding situation.

After a long while, he finally dispelled the white mist, went to the lump of meat paste, and personally carried it to the research department. He was able to control his strength during the process, and not a single drop of blood was spilled. Guan Hongge also personally dug out the previous floor stones, carrying them with his other hand.

"Lu Li stole company secrets and has been killed. Cremate his body; I want to see him turn to ashes with my own eyes," Guan Hongge said coldly, causing a stir among the entire research department staff. What kind of department head would die without a complete corpse after only one day in office?

However, now that Lu Li is dead, the research department can no longer oppose the company's higher-ups. So they turned on a device for destroying experimental subjects, Guan Hongge personally put it in, burning it along with the floor stones.

Only after witnessing Lu Li turn to ashes did Guan Hongge take the roster, check it one last time, and leave with Mori. Guan Hongge was extremely cautious; even after leaving the research department, Zeng Yunge in another office monitored the entire department with a hidden surveillance device.

"Where are his four men?" Guan Hongge returned to the office, seemingly turning into a pillar again, standing motionless behind Zeng Yunge. Zeng Yunge then asked Zhang Yanqige on the other side.

"Uh, brother, it seems they got wind of it. They vanished before I even arrived," Zhang Yanqige said helplessly.

"It's alright. They were summoned by Lu Li through an illegal ritual. They were under our surveillance and didn't bring any evidence. Even if they escaped, their words are meaningless. Every year, there are plenty of people who want to frame our Gale Society. A few more won't make a difference," Zeng Yunge comforted Zhang Yanqige.

"How's the situation with the ability-wielding soldiers?"

"New staff have taken over there, and there were no problems after they started operating. They are now preparing to move out of that location, and I have been monitoring them the whole time," Zhang Yanqige said.

"Better safe than sorry." Guan Hongge and his group used this saying to the extreme, but unfortunately, there were some things they couldn't do no matter how careful they were, such as the fact that Lu Li was still alive, and the fact that Mori had become one of their men.

Of course, this was also because they were unfamiliar with Lu Li. As a creature of shadows and dreams, how could Lu Li be reduced to a pile of minced meat after being killed? So, Lu Li was currently standing in a secret room, looking at the people opposite him with a faint smile.

"I hope your plan succeeds. You know, we've lost a lot of manpower because of your plan," Li Fei said viciously.

"Of course, the research department is full of my people now, and even some of the heroes have my people. If their experiments with refugees are exposed at this critical moment, they will surely die, and I can smoothly take over and, incidentally, clear your Windless Organization of its dark history," Lu Li said confidently.

"We, Wufeng, absolutely did not conduct any illegal experiments back then. That was all a frame-up, far more egregious than what you're doing now," Li Fei said coldly. "So it's not about clearing up a dark past, it's about exonerating someone."

"Fine, whatever you want," Lu Li said indifferently, not wanting to engage in such a pointless argument with Li Fei. After all, Li Fei wasn't a high-ranking official back then, and once this was cleared up, regardless of the truth, the result would be that she hadn't done anything wrong, and it would all be considered a frame-up.

"Hmph." Li Fei snorted coldly before saying, "You mean Guan Hongge also has white mist, and it's all over his body except for his right hand?"

"That's true. It seems that Zeng Yunge had ulterior motives when he joined your Windless Organization back then, and deliberately concealed his true abilities. Otherwise, you wouldn't be so unaware of his real capabilities." Lu Li mocked maliciously when he saw Li Fei's blank expression.

"Aren't you the same?" Li Fei retorted immediately, refusing to admit defeat. This woman probably has a dual personality. When she's with the Gale Society, she always has a serious, deadpan expression, but once she leaves the Gale Society's territory, she immediately transforms into this defiant person.

"Suit yourself. I'm going to meet someone later, so I won't chat with you here." Lu Li walked out of the secret room, and then his figure disappeared instantly, silencing Li Fei, who wanted to call Lu Li to prevent any further trouble.

"Then this will do." Lu Li saw an ordinary basement room, probably the cheapest place to live in the city, and knocked on the door.

"A slogan!" a young voice rang out, followed by the words, "Life and soul will eventually decay."

"Only faith and knowledge endure." Lu Li an eyebrow and said. These two sentences are the core Theseus of the company, widely disseminated. It would be too casual to treat them as mere slogans. These two sentences are the core tenets of the company and are widely disseminated.

The basement door opened, revealing a young man dressed in a white school uniform shirt and black trousers, with a sunny smile on his face, looking just like a student in the prime of his life. Even the dark and cramped space of the basement seemed less unpleasant.

"Hello, Senior Lu Li, I am Wuyi. It's a pleasure to meet you." The young man had a smile on his face that made people feel good, but if they knew what he had done, they would probably feel fear.

He joined a large illegal organization and quickly rose to a high position. Although the rules of the illegal organization were not as numerous as those in the open, it was enough to demonstrate Wuyi's abilities.

"So, what's the matter?" Lu Li asked, closing the door behind him.

"Yes, since receiving your message, I've been paying special attention. The organization that provided refugees to Zeng Yunge has been absorbed by my current organization, and we've obtained some evidence of their past dealings with Zeng Yunge."

"I invited you here today for two reasons. First, I wanted to see your abilities, and second, I wanted to give you my honest answer. I will cooperate with you to produce evidence and bring Zeng Yunge to his knees." Wuyi said with a smile, "Furthermore, judging from the previous transaction, Zeng Yunge is not simple. Please be careful, senior, and don't let yourself be caught off guard."
