His family's eyes lit up. He held the Eye of True Sight and turned it clockwise ten times on the wall in the room, and a circle of transparent ripples appeared.
As Zheng Yuandong entered, he happened to make eye contact with Qing Chen.
No problem, the key gate opened directly at the target location, steady, accurate, and ruthless—that's the power of 'room allocation'!
He returned to the villa and smiled at the old man, saying, "It's alright now. City 10 is right across the street, and someone there will be a welcoming ceremony for you."
The old man and his family were immediately shocked, for they had witnessed Zheng Yuandong pass through a wall with their own eyes!
Who can stop this?
The old man's son pushed the wheelchair, and the family nervously and anxiously walked through the key door.
The next moment, they appeared in the conference room of the garrison barracks, which was brightly decorated, and the president and members of Congress were holding a welcoming ceremony with champagne in hand...
Absolutely amazing!
Having dedicated my entire life to scientific research, this was the first time I had ever come into close contact with something so unscientific, and I found it incredibly novel.
The old man even wanted to examine the Eye of True Sight in Zheng Yuandong's hand...
After the old man and his family left, Zheng Yuandong said from behind the key door, "Turn it counterclockwise ten times."
The family nodded and did as instructed.
Zheng Yuandong explained, "The key door must be closed by the person who opened it. If it's not closed, and someone discovers the key door and destroys the entire wall along with it, then everyone and everything that left through the key door will fall back out. So, closing the key door is a very important thing. Okay, let's go."
After he finished speaking, he opened the door and said with a smile to the empty room, "You don't need to see me off. I'm already very sorry for visiting at midnight. Please get some rest."
With that, Zheng Yuandong left with his two family members, leaving behind the brightly lit but now empty villa.
On the third floor of the villa opposite the mansion, someone whispered into the communication channel: "The stranger has left. He must have been a guest. The expert was not taken away. All alert lifted."
As soon as he finished speaking, the special forces battalion of the garrison troops that had arrived quietly began to withdraw.
It was as if nothing had happened.
But Zheng Yuandong knew that the people who were transferred were too important, and it was only a matter of time before Kashima and Kamishiro discovered them, so he also had to race against time.
Chapter 706, The Most Crucial Link: Blood of the Gods!
Zheng Yuandong walked lightly down the street, following the route planned for him by Qing Chen. He met two members of the parent-teacher association at the designated location and then walked together.
These two family members are for opening the key door.
One would have been enough, but just to be on the safe side, Qingchen arranged for two.
Logically, the best way to use the key door is to carry it along, which will allow you to reliably reach your destination.
However, with all the experts in the city being monitored, carrying a door and visiting a scientist would seem disrespectful to the Kashima intelligence agency...
The two family members were a little nervous, but Zheng Yuandong comforted them, saying, "The situation hasn't escalated yet. Kashima and Kamishiro's alert levels won't be too high. As long as we're careful, everything will be fine."
Upon arriving at Gangnam Road in the Third District, Zheng Yuandong didn't even change his appearance or clothes before going straight up to knock on the door.
Knock knock knock, the door opened, and the person inside seemed to have been waiting all along.
Zheng Yuandong said with a smile, "Mr. Ning Zhiyuan has arranged a time with you, and I have come to visit you on his behalf."
The scientist inside looked wary.
At that very moment, the intelligence officer outside had already sprung into action. He secretly took a picture of Zheng Yuandong's profile and transmitted it to headquarters: "Target No. 2 has a visitor at home. Please confirm the visitor's identity. Target No. 2 is behaving somewhat abnormally, seemingly conducting a clandestine activity. Requesting the garrison troops to approach!"
The reply came through the communication channel: "Comparing in progress, the garrison troops have been notified."
Logically speaking, there were 631 research experts who were monitored throughout the process, and 71 of them received visitors tonight.
The two people Zheng Yuandong is currently receiving are both social celebrities. He receives many guests on a regular basis, including media reporters, close friends, students, and political figures.
It's not unusual to have visitors.
However, Kashima's intelligence agency was more perceptive than they had imagined. They had only visited the second agency when they were already being noticed, and facial recognition and comparison had already begun.
On the other side, Zheng Yuandong seemed completely unaware of Kashima's movements. He asked with a smile, "Aren't you going to invite us in to talk?"
“Come in,” the middle-aged man said. “I’ve told you before, I don’t necessarily have to leave. If you want to convince me, you’ll have to show enough sincerity.”
Zheng Yuandong said slowly and deliberately, "You are an expert in biotechnology. Many of the advancements Kashima has made in gene therapy come from you. I heard you have found a new direction for a breakthrough? Could it be a Grade A gene therapy?"
The middle-aged man shook his head: "No, the human body is too fragile. Grade B is already the limit of gene therapy. This path won't work."
“However, I’ve heard that there are Class A gene-enhancing drugs overseas,” Zheng Yuandong said. “The Forbidden Tribunal also has them, and it seems that the Forbidden Tribunal’s gene-enhancing drugs have no side effects.”
The middle-aged man said, "Gene serum adds to genes, and if you want to advance to A-level gene serum, it will inevitably be very extreme, even causing humans to turn into beasts, or causing the gene chain to collapse, resulting in a huge rejection reaction in the whole person, which even superhumans cannot withstand."
The middle-aged man continued, "The reason why the Forbidden Tribunal can produce a small amount of gene potions is because they have special gene fragments... the gene fragments of gods, which are beyond your reach, so don't even think about it."
The origins of the Forbidden Tribunal have always been a mystery. Some say that its predecessor was an organization called the Fireseed, which was originally under the control of a high-ranking federal general named "P5092," along with the Fireseed Military Academy.
Later, a small group of people, unwilling to stay at the school to teach, left the military academy together, led by a member of the Fireseed codenamed 'Black Fox,' and established the Taboo Tribunal.
If the rumors are true, then it's not surprising that the Forbidden Tribunal possesses the blood of a god, since P5092 had a very good relationship with the god Ren Xiaosu and they participated together in the battle to save the world during the Omnic Crisis.
"Then why are there Grade A gene agents overseas?" Zheng Yuandong asked. "Now that the two worlds are interconnected, Mr. Cai Xinyan, you should have heard that there are Grade A gene warriors overseas, and they did not die."
Cai Xinyan sneered, "I've bought some information and seen photos of those gene warriors. They just chose the least costly form of beastification, such as developing scales on their bodies, growing tentacles on their heads, and having abundant body hair. But that doesn't mean I approve of their behavior. Turning people into beasts is extremely dangerous. Their intelligence will decline, and their lifespan will be shortened to less than 30 years. Researching this kind of gene drug is simply a crime."
Cai Xinyan continued, "I contacted you because I didn't want to be forced to research this gene drug anymore. If you also want me to conduct this kind of research, then please leave."
The scientist was relatively young, only 41 years old, and he wasn't particularly interested in the idea of living 21 years longer.
He wanted to leave simply because he was tired of the research direction here.
He witnessed firsthand Kashima conducting clinical trials on humans using the gene-based drugs he had developed.
He also witnessed firsthand how ordinary people turned into terrifying monsters after being injected with the drug.
Cai Xinyan had been suffering from insomnia for a long time. After seeing the talent introduction plan for City 10, he even took the initiative to contact President Ning Zhiyuan.
Zheng Yuandong said with a smile, "I'll ask you on behalf of someone: if someone has a fragment of divine genes in him, would you be willing to go to City 10?"
Cai Xinyan was stunned: "You have the blood of gods in your hands?"
“To be precise,” Zheng Yuandong said, “there is a drop of divine blood flowing in someone’s veins.”
Cai Xinyan suddenly made up her mind and said, "I'm willing to go... but can we get away?"
"Don't worry," Zheng Yuandong said with a smile, "If you want to leave, you definitely can."
...
...
210 meters away from the villa, on the rooftop of a Western-style house, Kashima's intelligence agents were keeping a close watch on the villa's entrance.
At that moment, someone suddenly said in the communication channel: "The photos have been compared and found. This person just visited another researcher. Quickly, go and check the situation inside scientist number 2, Cai Xinyan's room! Also, check the situation inside scientist number 13's room!"
At the same time, several intelligence agents from two different locations quickly approached the villa.
Scientist No. 13 was the first wheelchair-bound elderly man that Zheng Yuandong picked up. The lights in the villa were still on, so the intelligence officer simply went up and knocked on the door.
No one responded.
He continued knocking on the door, knock knock knock.
Still no one responded.
The intelligence officers panicked and smashed a first-floor window, climbing inside.
The villa was empty, and the ground was a mess.
He urgently said into the communication channel, "Scientist No. 13's house is empty; his whole family has disappeared! It's probably the same for Scientist No. 2!"
The commander on the communications channel was stunned. He had actually sent two academic luminaries away right under his nose?
"Quickly, confirm whether scientist number 2, Cai Xinyan, is still inside!"
"Received, approaching!"
These numbers are arranged by Kashima according to their importance. A total of 631 scientists were under surveillance, so it's clear how important scientists numbered 2 and 13 were. Now, these two important individuals are about to be taken away...
...
...
Inside the house, Zheng Yuandong remained calm and unhurried.
His family members beside him took the golden Eye of True Sight and opened the Key Gate.
Zheng Yuandong went in for a look, only to find that behind the key gate was not the garrison barracks, but a seaside area.
He asked curiously, "Haven't you ever seen the sea?"
The family members were a little embarrassed: "I'm sorry, I'm from inland, and seeing the sea has been my wish since I was a child."
Zheng Yuandong said, "No need to apologize. It's common for the Key Gate to open in the wrong place, which is why we prepared two people. I'm a little surprised that even allocating housing couldn't entice you... Come on, next one, let's try."
Another family member received the Golden Eye of Truth and turned it clockwise ten times on the wall. An unexpected thing happened: this time the Key Gate opened onto the charming street in City 23!
Zheng Yuandong glanced at it, feeling both amused and exasperated.
Just to be on the safe side, I brought two family members, but they didn't even drive to the right place?
At this moment, Zheng Yuandong looked at the biological science expert and said, "I can assure you that the person waiting for you in the conference room of the No. 10 City Garrison has divine blood flowing through his veins. This is something you could never obtain in your entire life, or even in ten lifetimes, in Kashima or Kamioshima. If you want to conduct research in this area, turn this stone clockwise ten times and think about going to this place."
He handed the golden stone to the bioscience expert, who then opened the key door, revealing the conference room where Qing Chen was!
The bioscience expert hesitated before entering, and the sound of champagne being popped came from behind the door.
Just then, there was a knocking sound at the door, and someone shouted menacingly, "Open the door!"
The family asked, "Mr. Zheng, what should we do?"
Zheng Yuandong thought for a moment and said, "Let's go to the next stop."
The family members were stunned: "Ah... how do we get there?"
"Walk with a swagger."
Zheng Yuandong walked to the door, raised his right hand, and pulled a black knife out of nothingness, piercing directly through the alloy door panel.
The black blade pierced smoothly through the door panel and the heart of the intelligence agent behind it—precise and ruthless.
Both families were shocked!
