Chapter 1234: Chapter 614: Come and Take It

A major fire had caused the atmosphere in Aipao City to become particularly tense.

The city was already attracting a great deal of outside attention due to bizarre disappearances, and numerous watchers from various external forces had infiltrated it. But at least everyone had been restrained; even in the event of unforeseen circumstances, conflicts were kept on a small scale to avoid significant impact.

But this time was different. Beneath the blaze, the remains of ten special operatives instantly became a fuse, setting the city ablaze.

The fire was extinguished, but the flames in countless people’s hearts had only risen higher. Many secretive figures within the city began to stir.

For the Japanese, this was infuriating. But for the spies of the external forces, it was exciting—a significant incident had suddenly occurred, and a Japanese team of ten had been annihilated in a small convenience store. Could this mean that an extremely important clue had been discovered?

This was a natural line of thought. If there was nothing important, why would someone kill their people and then start a fire that was clearly enhanced with accelerants, causing such a significant disturbance?

Ordinary people might not sense the covert happenings, but they would clearly notice an increase in the number of ’baton teams’ patrolling the city’s streets.

If one could view all this from above, everything would be crystal clear.

Not only could the numerous stealthy figures be seen, but every so often one could also witness action scenes worthy of movies—no wonder, given that Japan’s authorities would be frantic after losing so many people.

Normally, Japan’s relevant departments would only monitor ’those of unknown identities’ in their territory—this was quite normal: first, there was no concrete evidence; second, to avoid startling the suspects; and third, the landlord’s house had no spare food, meaning they had no leads on the strange incidents and might even hope these outsiders would discover something!

But once such a malignant incident took place, the situation changed—after all, even a rabbit will kick an eagle when cornered!

However, for Boss Yan, there was no pressure. After all, no matter how vigilant people became, they couldn’t possibly extend their surveillance to the birds in the sky.

"You’ve all worked hard!" In a laboratory, a supervisor looked around at the eager staff and announced with an impassioned tone, "I believe everyone knows by now. After more than half a month of effort, we have successfully overcome a global challenge..."

"Goodness..."

Cheers erupted immediately, and even some of the older scholars couldn’t help but show beaming smiles.

The supervisor waited for the cheers to subside before continuing, "Now, clean up a bit, and you can go to the celebration banquet!"

"Yamamoto-kun, where is the venue for the celebration banquet?" An excited young lab assistant couldn’t help but ignore the strict regulations and raised a hand to ask.

"This..." Yamamoto-kun pondered for a moment and then laughed, "Before everyone arrives, please allow me to keep this a secret. I believe, everyone will have a pleasant surprise..."

"Yay..."

Another round of cheering followed.

Amidst the cheers, nobody noticed a small fly at the door proudly twirling its antennae.

In fact, judging by the attire inside the laboratory, it was clear that everyone was well-prepared. After all, nearly everyone here had a clear understanding of which phase the experiment had reached.

Tonight was just the final stage of the work, so many lab workers shed their outer work clothes to reveal suits and dresses, ready for a grand feast.

Next, everyone waited for the supervisor to leave before they began to file out.

A moment later, a group of people began to cry out in panic, "Where is this place?"

Some who came out later looked around at the surroundings in astonishment and asked the supervisor who had announced the celebration banquet, "Yamamoto-kun, is this... the surprise you spoke of for everyone?"

The first to exit, Yamamoto-kun, was completely bewildered, "Everyone, stay calm, stay calm..."

Beyond urging calm, there wasn’t much else he could say.

After all, anyone who opened a door expecting the familiar corridor of the laboratory but stepping instead into what looked like a dining hall, would find it very hard to remain composed.

The hall was simple, its walls bare of even cement, let alone any other decoration. The furniture—tables, chairs, and benches—were all made of plain wood and unvarnished.

And the arrangement of the furniture clearly resembled a communal dining hall.

If there was any bright spot in the entire hall, it was the flowers arranged on the tables—besides the roses and alfalfa flowers everyone recognized, there were many other bizarre and colorful, beautiful blossoms.

One elderly man suddenly pointed at one of the flowers and exclaimed, "Parrot Chrysanthemum, Parrot Chrysanthemum... this is the extinct Parrot Chrysanthemum! Where is this place that has such rare plants, and moreover..."

"This is the extinct Schum..." Another elderly man, reminded by the first, pointed at a different flower and called out its name with perplexity.

"My God!" Someone gasped in amazement. "It’s a miracle that these rare plants have been preserved. Who could be so extravagant as to pick them..."
