The Experimental Zone field was extremely large.

Even separated by tens or hundreds of thousands of kilometers, there will always be some small towns or large cities.

Vortex Cloud City is a large city located relatively close to the Core Earth.

Inside an unassuming café on an inconspicuous street in the city.

A boy dressed in black, wearing a hood, his face obscured, only some shadows visible.

A charming and playful waitress approached and asked, "Sir, would you like something to drink?"

The boy pointed to the electronic menu. "What is this ' Hidden Soul Grass Caramel Macchiato'?"

"Oh! Sir, you have excellent taste!"

"Hidden Soul Grass is a new species hybridized in the Experimental Zone. When it's blended with coffee, you won't notice the flavor at first, but if you savor it carefully, you'll discover a subtle and exquisite aroma!"

"'Hidden soul' means to be hidden."

"For example, in this world, the most adept at concealing their power remains undisturbed, yet can unleash tremendous force at crucial moments."

The shop assistant was adorable, her eyes crinkling into crescent moons with her smile.

Although the boy's face was hidden by his hood, she knew that the customer had smiled.

"Then let's go with this one."

The boy extended his fair finger and pointed to the menu.

moment.

A fragrant cup of coffee was served.

On the surface, there are also leaf-shaped foam decorations.

The boy in black sniffed the air and could only smell the aroma of coffee. "Sure enough, the Hidden Soul Grass has 'hidden' itself. Just like my current situation, I can now unleash my full power without restraint."

"Hidden Soul Grass Caramel Macchiato... how fitting for the occasion!"

The boy picked up his coffee and took a sip. At first, he seemed fine, but after 10 seconds, his expression changed. "This tastes awful."

He spat the coffee back into the cup, trying to act nonchalant to avoid upsetting the clerk. He crossed his arms, gazed out the window, and struck a cool pose.

Little did they know.

Behind him, the Jingye Meinan who had just entered froze, his eyes moist and his lips trembling.

"I would recognize that figure even if it turned to ashes."

"Boss Qin... you're not dead, sob sob sob..."

"You little pervert, you're really cunning."

"Your plan must be to fake your death, you definitely have something else to do... Waaaaah."

"I must say, you managed to pull it off."

"You're hiding here, putting on this mysterious, high-IQ act, just like those classic plot twists in movies..."

At this moment, Qin Yiguan hadn't yet noticed Jingye Meinan. His face was wise, and a thought swirled in his mind—what awful coffee! It's been half a day, and there's still a taste in my mouth? Is that Hidden Soul Grass a hybrid of Stinking Artemisia?

Jingye Meinan stepped forward, sat opposite the boy in black, tears welling in his eyes, picked up the cup of coffee, and drank it all in one gulp.

At this moment Jingye Meinan was filled with heroic spirit, wiping away his tears, "Boss Qin, tell me, what's the plan next!"

"Huh?"

Suddenly, Jingye Meinan stuck out his tongue. "Why does my mouth taste like wormwood?"

Qin Yiguan glanced meaningfully at the empty coffee cup and chuckled, "You'll pay the bill later."

Jingye Meinan glanced at the cute and playful coffee shop employee, then nodded emphatically, "Sure!"

It was at this time.

Through the floor-to-ceiling window, I saw Chen Mudou, wearing a cotton plaid skirt and still holding a folder in her hand, running towards me with all her might.

Upon entering the coffee shop, she couldn't contain her joy and gave Qin Yiguan a hug.

He then sat down opposite Qin Yiguan, opened his personal smart device, switched to the input panel, and straightened his posture, saying, "Boss Qin, I know your target is Lu Zun. We can discuss the plan now!"

"The target is Lu Zun?"

Jingye Meinan was taken aback, looking at Chen Mudou with suspicion, "As Boss Qin's top assistant, I didn't even know about this. How did you find out? And Boss Qin came back from the dead, isn't your expression a bit too rational? You should be like me, crying tears of joy!"

Chen Mudou pouted and said, "Nonsense, I was sad for a long time, but on the way, Mingshu told me everything, including how Boss Qin faked his death and who his ultimate target was! I knew all this before I even walked in!"

"On the way?"

"Mingshu?"

Who is it?

Looking at the empty street outside, Jingye Meinan thought to himself, "Chen Mudou clearly came here alone!"

Qin Yiguan's eyes flickered as he stared at Chen Mudou.

Jiang Mingshu...

The Fusion Rate is over 90%, but the exact percentage is unknown!

As expected of a top-tier entity, nothing can be hidden from it!

now.

Qin Yiguan recalled the scene in the ' Black Room '.

"As long as I pretend I don't know..."

"Then everything can be restored to what it was before."

The boy in the white suit gritted his teeth slightly, a strange light flashing in his eyes. "And I will still be the captain of the Youth Order Squad, representing justice and light, Jiu Zhengxuan!"

Qin Yiguan suddenly froze, "I never expected you to turn to the dark side."

Jiu Zhengxuan revealed a twisted smile, "I learned all of this from you."

"But."

Jiu Zhengxuan's smile vanished, replaced by a forlorn expression. "I can't do such a thing."

Immediately.

He looked up at Qin Yiguan. "What's your plan? Tell me."

Qin Yiguan was silent for a moment, then slowly nodded, "I suspect that your father, Lu Zun, is plotting a large-scale killing spree. The purpose is simple: torturing and killing humans can increase the Fusion Rate!"

"I don't quite understand the concept of the Gemini Superbrain."

"But I regret to inform you that, based on my personal verification, it is indeed a fact."

"Take your brother, Seven Zheng Xuan, for example; he just contributed 0.001% to me."

Jiu Zhengxuan gritted his teeth, his face grim. "Don't mention murder again in front of me! I'm a member of the Order Squad!"

Qin Yiguan curled his lip, "Then there's nothing to talk about."

Jiu Zhengxuan seemed somewhat frustrated, but finally spoke up, "Seven Zheng Xuan... why did he only contribute 0.001%?"

Qin Yiguan smiled, tilted his head back, and said, "I've already said, it has to be torture and murder."

Jiu Zhengxuan frowned and remained silent.

Qin Yiguan continued, "Your father's Fusion Rate is already 96%, making him one of the strongest humans. Ordinary killings, in ordinary numbers, simply cannot satisfy him."

"His lifespan is nearing its end; raising the Fusion Rate to 100% is his only chance."

At this point, Qin Yiguan stared at Jiu Zhengxuan. He had been lying in the Nutrient Pod since birth and had never woken up. It was very likely that he had never seen Lu Zun's true form, in his old and frail state.

"But I can't figure out how he'd do it."

Qin Yiguan pondered, "I think he must have killed at least tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of people, and the methods must have been extremely cruel."

Upon hearing this, Jiu Zhengxuan froze. "Hundreds of thousands of people?!"

Qin Yiguan continued, "The previous cases of Jiao Shensan and CPH4 involved an organization called the Longevity Society. I suspect that your father Longevity Society, and may even be a member or founder of it."

"I closed both of those cases."

Your father probably sees me as a thorn in his side.

"It will probably be very difficult for me to investigate him."

"He so desperately wanted you to kill me, firstly to help you build a positive image, and secondly... to conveniently eliminate this potential threat."

"So."

"I might as well turn the tables and die by your hand today!"

"After all, your father's ability is ' Absolute Hit.' If he knew I was alive, he might take the trouble one day to personally throw a Shitou, and I might be dead!"

Qin Yiguan's eyes flashed. "After faking my death, I acted in secret, starting with investigating two places, gradually getting closer to your father!"

Jiu Zhengxuan remained silent for a long time before finally saying, "Okay."

He then looked at the corpse on the ground, "I can use the Black Room's ability to impersonate Seven Zheng Xuan as you, and then notify Father to activate Absolute Hit..."

Jiu Zhengxuan didn't continue, changing the subject abruptly. "As for you, weren't you going to 'log off'?"

Qin Yiguan chuckled lightly, "A father whipping his son's corpse—that's a rather Wuliang idea. I must say, you have a talent for being Gang."

Jiu Zhengxuan's face was ugly, and he lowered his head slightly, unable to refute.

Qin Yiguan then asked, "Why did you change your mind and decide to cooperate with me? Is it because of your so-called 'justice'? Is it that thing that gave you the motivation to cooperate with me and expose your father's crimes?"

"No."

This time it's not!

Jiu Zhengxuan slowly raised his head, "It's because I still have a sliver of hope in my heart, a hope that the whole truth will come to light, that my father wasn't a bad person. He might have been used, controlled... He didn't know about the children's evil deeds. He... was a kind and upright person!"

Qin Yiguan sighed slowly.

It's true that Jiu Zhengxuan was persistent, but it's also true that he was foolish.

In this situation, how could he still harbor any illusions?

Thinking about Jiu Zhengxuan's experience, he was trapped in Black Room for 18 years. After being released, he did not have a mental breakdown and his mentality remained normal. This must be because of his way of thinking - to keep hope in mind for a long time.

What was his ability called again?

Daybreak Has Come?!

Qin Yiguan shook his head.

So what if Daybreak Has Come?

Many bad people actually stand in the light.
