Xu Zhi thought for a moment and arrived at a guess.
Perhaps this laboratory had achieved some preliminary result not long ago, one related to talent circuits. That Lamp-aspected Transcendent had come to inspect the results, or perhaps take away part of them. And that "result" was probably somewhat unsavory, so it needed to be smuggled out in an extremely covert manner without attracting attention. That was why only this Lamp-aspected Transcendent had been sent.
Of course, there was another possibility, one Xu Zhi considered even more likely.
There were not many people qualified to retrieve the "experimental result," perhaps only a handful. These people should have participated in the "experiment" before, and it must have been an experiment related to talent circuits.
The reason Jiang Qing had come to intercept and kill him was naturally because Jiang Qing had also been one of the former test subjects. Ordinary Transcendents might not have been able to devour other people's circuits the way she could.
But that raised a new question. If this place really was conducting disgraceful experiments related to talent circuits, and Jiang Qing and that Lamp had both been test subjects who could devour circuits, then what was Xu Zhi's basis for doing the same?
Unless the Transcendent circuit she had accidentally constructed happened to share something in common with the circuits being researched here?
If her circuit truly bore some resemblance to, or even shared something with, the research conducted in this underground experiment, then it explained why she could smell the scent of "Temptation" emanating from Jiang Qing's circuit, and even absorb the other woman's circuit.
Then what should this line of experimentation be called?
Xu Zhi suddenly thought of the name Gods Heavy Industries and the ideals she had once heard this organization upheld.
