Chapter 720: Chapter 90 Human Pet (4600)_2

The underground base of the Night Niche Gang is partly the abandoned sewer system of Xuanye City; it’s a labyrinth of twists and turns, complete with inexplicable partitioning doors, and even illusion arrays that likely leave intruders walking in circles.

Along the way, An Jing has also killed a number of Night Niche Gang members who happened to bump into them, but the pleas for mercy before their deaths indicated that they didn’t know where the main control room and the treasure room were located, information only the leaders were privy to.

Unfortunately, the leaders had all been killed by An Jing.

"It will probably take two hours."

Huo Qing is currently linking to the Night Niche Gang’s system, following the formation patterns to find the core central point. This is quite difficult, requiring a lot of time. Although his skills are decent, he’s not a professional spiritual net hacker: "It can’t be done any faster. I didn’t bring the equipment, and even if I had, it would still take at least an hour."

An hour is enough for the overgrown mustard to cool; the Night Niche Gang’s elite patrolling troops will return—although that isn’t really a concern, since An Jing regards them highly enough to deal with them barehanded.

The biggest problem is that such large-scale combat would surely draw the attention of the Sky Surveillance Bureau.

Although everyone knows that the one attacking the Night Niche Gang is An Jing, he has no intention of leaving evidence and dealing with hassles from the corporations behind the gang. His plan is to kill swiftly, destroy thoroughly, loot quickly, rescue if there are people, and if not, to set the place ablaze with fire.

Based on An Jing’s estimates and past experiences, the Sky Surveillance Bureau would deploy at most 30 minutes from now. By then, whether An Jing has achieved his objective or not, he would have to retreat.

"Why not forget it and just blow the place up?"

Moving in circles, An Jing realizes the place is likely affected by an illusion array, even giving him the sensation of hitting a ghost wall—this is also part of the Shadow Magic. It seems that Dark Niche may indeed have a part of a lingering soul that won its way back to life and is now doing its utmost to mislead them.

An Jing doesn’t like to play these drawn-out games with people; he’s always been straightforward: "You guys get out first, I’ll set the explosives here and see if I don’t blow this cursed place sky-high!"

"Don’t, don’t, big bro, please don’t!"

Nian Quan and Huo Qing immediately panic and rush forward to stop him. They both know well how much firepower is contained within An Jing’s Great Void Magical Instrument—blowing it up is certainly possible, but that would escalate from gang infighting to being a super-dangerous terrorist attack on Xuanye City!

"Just blow up the key areas."

Huo Qing offers a suggestion: "We can just blow up the entrances and exits around the laboratory area. This place is toward the center, and destroying it may even break the illusion array’s formation patterns!"

"That’s a professional Array Master for you." An Jing thinks the suggestion is good, and the three of them begin to set the explosives quickly and adeptly.

But what’s odd is that, while it’s no surprise that An Jing and Huo Qing are proficient, Nian Quan is also incredibly smooth—where did he learn that?

"My mom taught me."

Nian Quan honestly answers: "I always thought I would work at Mount Xiao Zhe in the future, after all, it is a mining company. My mother taught me a lot of relevant knowledge... but it turned out to be of no use."

At this point, Nian Quan sighs deeply: "Now when I think about it, if I hadn’t met you, An Jing, as a person without my mother’s protection, having a Heavenly Spiritual Root, I’m likely to vanish on the streets and end up in a laboratory like this one."

"I don’t think it would come to that."

Huo Qing contemplates: "You are too good-looking, different from those who’ve undergone transformations, possessing a natural aura. Even the Night Niche Gang wouldn’t waste someone like you."

"Then I would rather they dismantle me."

As they casually chat, Huo Qing suddenly sees something flashing out of the corner of his eye. He stands up, puzzled: "What was that?"

"A cat?" An Jing also turns his head; he has also noticed it, and his vision, far superior to Huo Qing’s, allows him to catch sight of the passing apparition with just a glimpse—a white cat with sleek silver-white fur just ran by.

Why would there be a cat here?

All three are immediately puzzled, and what is more puzzling is that the white cat has appeared again. It stops in front of the three, swishes its tail, and then walks toward a passage.

"This is..."

An Jing frowns slightly: "Guiding us?"

"Where did this cat come from, not afraid of us?" Nian Quan is also somewhat baffled, this situation gives a weird feeling: "Do we follow it?"

Huo Qing has no such doubts. After a few moments of calculation, he exclaims with surprise: "That’s the place! That path is the life-giving exit of the Illusion Array that we previously failed to notice!"

An Jing and Nian Quan might not trust the cat, but they trust Huo Qing’s conclusion. Once they’ve ensured that the explosives they’ve set are enough to collapse the laboratory area, they follow Huo Qing’s pace toward where the white cat disappeared.

The white cat is still waiting for them, squatting at the entrance, and only walks onto the next passage when it sees the three following.

The passage is extremely winding, walking through it even gives the feeling of going around in circles, but one can always see a path leading to the ’depths’. The white cat walks nimbly, and the three follow.

In no time at all, they arrive in front of a vault door.

"Treasure room?"

An Jing can hardly believe it, to obtain without any effort—after they’ve spent half a day unable to find the way, a white cat pops up to lead the way?

Is this also the will of Heaven?

An Jing shakes his head; while many things seem to happen by chance, making it look like they’re the will of Heaven, in reality, there’s definitely a reasonable explanation behind this white cat, just as his many past experiences that seemed coincidental, always have their reasons.
