Chapter 1493: Chapter 1493: Eternal Life Device

The underground laboratory of the Tower of Darkness had been cleaned up due to the mutated vampires, so Organization X once again sent people to take over, starting a major overhaul to prepare for a restart.

While the members of Organization X were cleaning up, they saw a group of people approaching. Organization X did not take much notice, assuming they were their own people, and didn’t regard it as important.

Soon, Organization X noticed something odd. One of the individuals wearing a mask acted secretive and mysterious, and this masked person was also holding a beautiful Eastern beauty in their arms.

"Wait a minute, where are you from, your identity tags?" The people from Organization X immediately came forward to interrogate, sensing something was wrong with this group, all of whom had Eastern features.

Leng Le stepped out from the team, drinking a blue reagent as he walked.

Organization X felt even more uneasy and questioned again: "You..."

With a loud bang, Leng Le shot and killed the leader on the spot, his actions decisive and without hesitation, which the mysterious masked person greatly admired.

There were not many people from Organization X in the underground lab, mainly responsible for maintenance work, and they had little combat ability. They were quickly taken out by the mysterious masked person and Leng Le, without even being able to issue a warning.

The subordinates, witnessing Leng Le’s ruthless killing, were frightened, having never expected Sister Leng to have such a fierce side.

The mysterious masked person paid no mind to what the subordinates were thinking and led them straight to Experiment Area 2.

Leng Le glanced at the mysterious masked person carrying the woman, wondering what he intended to do with Li Shi amidst the chaos. But she thought going after them wouldn’t be of any use.

Before long, the group arrived at Experiment Area 2, which even Organization X found difficult to access. They couldn’t understand why they struggled so much to open the door, while Gu Fan only had to shout a couple of times, and the door would open for him automatically.

However, when the mysterious masked person arrived at Experiment Area 2, he simply looked at that heavy door and said lightly, "Ao Sai, open the door."

While Leng Le didn’t understand what was happening, the heavy door opened for them.

"This..." Leng Le was stunned, and then she understood something—the mysterious masked person was not here for the first time; he was well-acquainted with Dark City and this underground laboratory.

Thus, Leng Le began to speculate about the identity of the mysterious masked person, perhaps related to Organization X, otherwise it was unexplainable why he was so familiar with this place.

Another thing that greatly concerned Leng Le was why the mysterious masked person took Li Shi.

At this point, under the guidance of the mysterious masked person, everyone entered Experiment Area 2.

The moment the door closed again, everyone felt a bit panicky, unsure of what kind of place they had been led to by the mysterious masked person, and whether there really was gold there.

Leng Le gathered her courage to ask: "What exactly is this place?"

The mysterious masked person replied, "This is a spaceship from an ancient Super Civilization."

Hearing ’ancient Super Civilization,’ Leng Le’s face slightly changed color. She’s not new to places related to ancient Super Civilizations, and each occasion was fraught with danger; hence she asked again, "How do you know about this place, have you been here before?"

"Of course I have." The mysterious masked person seemed energized, so he was inclined to answer Leng Le’s questions today.

Leng Le took the opportunity to press on: "Then why did you bring us here? It can’t be as simple as just leading everyone to find gold—you of all people wouldn’t care about money."

"I don’t care, but you do; otherwise, why would you follow me here?" The mysterious masked person’s tone carried a slight teasing meaning.

The subordinates felt played with, and although some were annoyed, they dared not question him and could only hold on to the last hope and asked, "You say you’re leading us to find gold—is that a lie?"

"It’s true, there is indeed gold here." The words of the mysterious masked person reassured everyone, at least the trip wasn’t in vain.

Next, the mysterious masked person led everyone to a warehouse filled with heaps of gold, shimmering with light, and the quality of the gold far surpassed modern standards.

Leng Le was astonished, wondering how such good quality gold could exist in the world.

To this, the mysterious masked person was nonchalant: "Gold is very valuable to the people of today, but to the ancient Super Civilizations, it’s something that can be endlessly created with high quality through technological means."

The subordinates didn’t care much for that; they dived in, grabbing bags, filling as much as they could carry.

"Take your time to pack, come and gather later." The mysterious masked person, holding Li Shi, went to another room.

Leng Le’s intuition told her not to let the mysterious masked person out of her sight, so she followed him and entered the room as well.

This room was special, with something like a hibernation pod in the center, where a person could lie inside. Around it, in a circle, were twelve similar items, each corresponding to an hour of the day.

"This..." Leng Le had seen such a setup before, and instantly confirmed something.

The mysterious masked person placed Li Shi in the central hibernation pod, then folded his arms, appearing very confident.

Leng Le was completely shocked; she had a good idea of what the mysterious masked person was about to do and why he had kidnapped Li Shi, but what she couldn’t understand was the benefit of doing so to the mysterious masked person.

Just as Leng Le was about to ask, heavy footsteps approached, putting her on alert.

Ao Sai arrived, completely ignoring Leng Le and focusing on the mysterious masked person, then said, "You are very special! We have met before."

To this, the mysterious masked person simply responded, "Ao Sai, do you know what I am about to do? I am here to fulfill my mission, and you must do what you are supposed to do."

After hearing this, Ao Sai couldn’t help but laugh: "It seems it really is you, that’s great."

What does that mean? Leng Le was becoming increasingly confused by what these two were discussing, feeling even more like she was being treated as air.

Ao Sai added, "The first time I saw you, I thought you would never undertake this, but it turns out you have embarked on this path after all."

"There’s no choice, too many things have happened, and these things have changed me." The mysterious masked person said while touching the hibernation pod, gazing blankly at the peacefully sleeping Li Shi inside.

Leng Le’s brows were tightly knit; if she wasn’t mistaken, this wasn’t just any hibernation pod, but more precisely, something akin to the crystal devices on Yuxueyun Mountain—those which could grant people perfect eternal life, the very things their boss was eager to destroy.

She had thought that after Yuxueyun Mountain, such devices would no longer exist in the world, and no one would attain perfect eternal life again. Yet here was another.
