After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me - Chapter 967

Chapter 967: The Monster in the Laboratory
He’s been gone for quite some time now, and hasn’t returned. Could something have happened to him?

As this thought crossed her mind, Zhouzhou began to panic.

Ancestral Master, despite being lazy, shameless, full of tricks, and sometimes unscrupulous… he was still Ancestral Master! Zhouzhou still hoped he was alright and nothing bad had happened to him.

Unable to quell her worry, Zhouzhou was just about to head out to see what was going on when a figure suddenly rushed in.

A smug voice rang out, “Want to catch me? In your dream!”

Looking at him, Zhouzhou’s eyes lit up. “Ancestral Master!”

The person who entered wasn’t anyone else but Ancestral Master.

Ancestral Master wiped the sweat off his forehead. “Yes, it’s me, it’s me.”

Noticing the aura-concealing talisman still attached to him, Zhouzhou couldn’t help but wonder, “Ancestral Master, what’s happened?”

Why would he need an aura-concealing talisman? Besides her, no one could see him here.

Upon hearing this, Ancestral Master quickly replied, “That bad guy can see me!”

“What?” Zhouzhou’s eyes widened in surprise, her pupils constricting.

Ancestral Master thought for a moment and shook his head. “Well, that’s not entirely accurate. It’s not that he can see me, but there’s some kind of thing that can detect my presence.”

“What thing?”

Ancestral Master briefly described it, but Zhouzhou, being the little illiterate she was, couldn’t make heads or tails of it.

She quickly handed a Heavenly Eye Talisman to both Lu Shi and Jing Bai, signaling for Ancestral Master to explain again. They would understand it better.

Ancestral Master appeared in front of them instantly. Lu Shi had already gotten used to this, but Jing Bai’s gaze immediately deepened.

Ancestral Master immediately sensed this, glancing at him. That bad guy had looked at him like that too! Like some kind of pervert.

He repeated the explanation, and Lu Shi, narrowing his eyes, said, “It should be a magnetic field detector.”

Ancestral Master was a spiritual entity. While invisible to the naked eye, his magnetic field would still undergo changes.

Jing Bai’s voice was tinged with meaning. “I didn’t expect him to have already advanced this far.”

He had always known that Alva was researching this particular project. It wasn’t just recently; even back when he was still in the lab, Alva had already started. However, his research theory had been met with much skepticism. After all, there were still many atheists in the world who thought this research was meaningless, even believing that Alva was simply walking the same path that Einstein and Newton had, losing his mind in the process.

But now, it seemed, he had actually succeeded.

If he could already detect positions, then the next step wouldn’t be far behind: actually seeing the target.

Thinking of this, Jing Bai’s eyes darkened.

Zhouzhou, listening to the conversation, exchanged a glance with Ancestral Master, both looking surprised.

They had always thought that only those with Heavenly Eyes could see spiritual entities, never imagining that science could achieve this as well.

Truly, science and mysticism were two sides of the same coin!

Zhouzhou tilted her head and asked, “Then Ancestral Master, why did you run away? If he can see you, so what? He can’t do anything to you, right?”

“No.” Ancestral Master shook his head, his expression unusually serious. “At that moment, I felt a kind of force from his direction, and it made me feel… pain.”

He had never seen such a thing before, and for the first time, he had sensed a threat coming from a living person. So, he immediately decided to retreat.

Although admitting this wasn’t particularly dignified, it was far better than having his soul scattered.

“So powerful?” Zhouzhou furrowed her brows, no longer daring to underestimate Alva.

Lu Shi thought for a moment and said, “It should also be a kind of magnetic field interference, but how did he determine this method?”

Living beings could be affected by magnetic fields, and spiritual entities were no exception. However, the fact that even Ancestral Master could be affected was a testament to how powerful it was.

The theory itself was easy to explain, but implementing it? That was much more difficult.

Moreover, any scientific research required experimentation.

What had he used for experimentation?

Suddenly, something clicked in Lu Shi’s mind, and he froze.

Seemingly reading his thoughts, Jing Bai’s lips curled into a smile. “In this lab, the one thing that’s never in short supply is dead bodies.”

Ancestral Master immediately thought of something. “That’s right! I saw what’s inside his room!”

As he spoke, he couldn’t help but shudder.

Even now, the memory left him in disbelief.

“What? What did you see?” Zhouzhou quickly asked.

Ancestral Master spoke in a low voice. “A room full of spirits, and there were living people there as well.”

By the end of his statement, his tone even carried a hint of doubt.

He wasn’t even sure if those people could still be called “living.”

He continued, “I saw them, these strange-looking people. Some even had three arms growing out of their bodies.”

As he recounted this, Ancestral Master’s expression turned queasy, trying to suppress his nausea.

“The worst part is, I even saw a baby with two heads, four arms, four legs, and their stomachs were fused together.”

It was a conjoined twin, but not quite.

And instead of milk, the baby’s food consisted of a transparent white liquid.

That baby was placed in the spot closest to Alva, clearly his favorite experiment.

Zhouzhou, imagining this scene, felt the hairs on the back of her neck stand up. She couldn’t help but look horrified.

Was this even human? This was… a monster!

Lu Shi’s expression was grim, while Jing Bai remained composed.

But even he was taken aback by the revelation.

His mind immediately drifted to his deepest memories.

His hand clenched tightly around the edge of the table. After a long pause, he exhaled deeply and said in a low voice, “Those are Alva’s research results.”

He had altered genes, and in the process, created a bunch of monsters.

These monsters possessed strength far greater than that of normal humans. The ones who died in the experiments were thrown into trash bins, while the ones who survived became part of his monstrous army.

And he, outwardly unchanged, was no different from these creatures emotionally.

None of them were truly human.

Zhouzhou’s brows furrowed even more tightly.

She had originally thought Ancestral Master would be their trump card, but now, even he had been overwhelmed.

It seemed like there was only one option left.

“We’ll go kill that bad guy, and then we can enter his room.”

As long as Alva was dead, all his inhumane research would disappear.

“How do you plan to kill him?” Jing Bai asked.

He continued, “I’ve tried assassinating him ninety-nine times, but never succeeded.”

That man was incredibly alert.

This was probably the reason why, despite not having martial skills, he was still ranked in the top ten of the Dark Web’s bounty list and had managed to survive up to this point.

Even Jing Bai often questioned whether Alva was actually human.

This man was terrifying.

Furthermore, they were currently without any weapons, and her talismans wouldn’t work. How could they possibly kill him?

This was indeed a problem.

Zhouzhou stroked her chin, thinking for a moment. After a few seconds, her gaze slowly fell on the vials of reagents on the table. Suddenly, something occurred to her.

“Brother, didn’t you bet with him? If he loses, he’s at your mercy, right?”
