"How dare they..." Jiang You murmured, his worldview shaken like never before. They were the ones who started it, whether it was the kidnapping or the experiment, it was their fault, yet now he was the one wanted by the entire city.

"Calm down. The woman who worked at the inspection center was one of the people who kidnapped me. And the fact that they dared to abduct people directly on the street shows that the mastermind behind it all has enormous power in this community."

"I can't stay at home for long." Jiang You forcibly suppressed his frustration and transformed it into Wrath towards the mastermind behind it all. "The other party has enormous control over the Inspection Bureau and can provide such a large research resource as the underground research lab. They must be very famous in this gathering place."

"And thinking about it, there aren't that many people like him." Jiang You gritted his teeth. "As long as I find him, I'll make sure he lives to be a hundred years old!"

"Leave home first, they should send someone soon." Jiang You pushed open the back door and saw Hanajima Yuka in her school uniform looking at him, her small mouth slightly open. "Soy Sauce Guy, you..."

"No, I didn't, don't talk nonsense!" Jiang You quickly said.

"I wanted to ask you how you've been at the testing center these past few days? What are you thinking about?" Hanajima Yuka touched Jiang You's forehead with some concern. A refreshing fragrance wafted over, causing Jiang You to involuntarily step back.

"You mean the testing institute?" Jiang You turned his head away, feeling relieved. The wanted notice had just been issued, Hanajima Yuka shouldn't know about it. So he continued, "How did you know I went to the testing institute?"

"You didn't come back that night, and then people from the testing institute came to our door, saying they had made a new discovery about that mutated creature and had taken you to get it tested." Hanajima Yuka said earnestly, "To be honest, I even took a picture of that woman. Did you even know her after spending so many days at the testing institute?"

"Let me see?" Jiang You didn't have a target yet, but this was the other party's weakness. Jiang You took the phone, and on the screen was a very beautiful female white-collar worker talking to his parents.

"Understood. Youxiang, don't tell her you've seen me. I have some things to take care of. Be careful and don't worry about me." Jiang You patted Hanajima Yuka's shoulder, then quickly darted to the side.

Since that female office worker came to his house, even if she didn't know anything, someone must have given her orders to go up the chain of command. Eventually, they would find out the identity of the mastermind. Once they exposed him, his warrant for arrest might be lifted.

"At this time, if nothing unexpected happens, she should be getting off work soon. I need to hurry." Jiang You's home is in the eighth residential area of the settlement, while the testing institute is located in the third area. The distance is not short, and he has to avoid surveillance along the way.

"Little Leaf, are you waiting for your sister to get off work again?" The gatekeeper said kindly to a little girl, opening the gate to let her in. Normally, places like testing institutes shouldn't let unemployed staff in at will, but this little girl's sister has worked here for so long, and Little Leaf has always been very well-behaved and adorable; we couldn't just leave her waiting at the gate.

Little Leaf smiled and thanked the gatekeeper, then happily walked through the gate with her schoolbag on her back. After greeting the receptionist, she sat down on a waiting chair and did her homework. Diagonally opposite her was a hanging television that was playing Jiang You's wanted poster.

"Did they escape from the testing institute? And they killed so many people. Luckily, my sister works in an office." Little Leaf thought to herself as she looked at the wanted poster, then her mind drifted to other things. "Sister Qian and Sister Hua haven't come to play with me these past few days, and those gray-white monsters haven't appeared either. It's so boring."

Time passed slowly, and the Inspection Bureau gradually closed for the day. Some people came out, and some of them greeted Little Leaf with smiles. Then, her sister came out with a strange expression, but when she saw Little Leaf, she forced a smile and greeted her. The two of them went home together.

Their parents died in an accident during construction ten years ago, and the two sisters have been relying on each other since they were little, and they have a very close relationship.

On the other side of the street, Jiang You squinted as he observed the two sisters walking by. In his current state, even if he had only seen the picture for a few seconds, he could clearly remember the woman's appearance. What caught his attention was the creature that woman was holding hands with.

In Jiang You's eyes, it wasn't the two sisters walking by, but a beautiful urban woman leading a clump of greenish-yellow mud. The mud was constantly wriggling, and cute little backpacks, shoes, and clothes were faintly visible inside, but they were all covered in yellowish-green pus.

"Like Lin Qian and the others, have they all mutated? And even more severely?" Jiang You murmured, but then his gaze followed firmly. "No matter what, we have to get to the bottom of things."

Little Leaf was holding hands with her older sister. Sensing that her sister seemed preoccupied, she turned to her and asked, "Sister, are you feeling unwell today?"

"No, let's go home quickly. What does Little Leaf want to eat tonight?" Ye Ni shook her head and asked her younger sister, while another thought flashed through her mind, "My sister has been going out a lot these days, and her behavior has become a bit strange. I wonder what's wrong with her."

"I want to eat steak and sashimi! The steak my sister made last time was so delicious!" Little Leaf said happily. Her sister's cooking skills had dropped drastically these days; even the usual dishes had become unpalatable, except for the steaks.

"Okay..." Ye Ni said with a forced smile. Her younger sister's tastes had changed recently; she now preferred raw food, especially steak, which she liked to eat as rare as possible. Did she have some kind of pica? She would have to ask her about it when she had time.

"Huh?" Ye Ni suddenly stopped and looked at the boy opposite her. The second thing on her mind today had come to mind.

"Your expression clearly tells you something, doesn't it?" Jiang You, though somewhat thin, possessed an overwhelming presence as he walked step by step towards Ye Ni: "Tell me, who sent you to my house to lie?"

"I don't know anything. I just received a notification to inform your family!" Ye Ni was also a little flustered. Things were as she said, but with her intelligence, she naturally knew that this was extremely irregular. She did not have any information about the boy, and he might not even have been asked to undergo testing.

After discovering today that the other party was wanted, she knew things might be bad; she didn't expect them to come looking for her so quickly.

"Aren't you that wanted criminal? What do you want to do to my sister!" Little Leaf asked, pouting, as she stood in front of her sister.

But in front of Jiang You, there was a monster waving its yellowish-green tentacles at him.
