Use first and repay later: Advance the future cultivation fruits-Chapter 115 - 96, Domestic Animals and Wild Beasts

"The door reads ’Incomplete Door,’" Zhao Jiayi said, tilting her head, "huh, written in Chinese."

"Incomplete Door?"

Lin Qing didn’t quite understand and asked further, "What’s behind the door?"

"I’m not sure," Zhao Jiayi said helplessly. "I was just passing by at the time, and the car was moving so fast. I only had time to scan it briefly with telekinesis. There was no time for a thorough infiltration, and I felt that the material of the door was a bit strange. When I tried to spread my telekinesis into the door, it was almost impossible to penetrate."

"Oh?" Lin Qing mused thoughtfully.

Zhao Jiayi’s telekinesis could penetrate thousands of meters in the air, but underground it became much more difficult to penetrate soil and rock.

And there was something that couldn’t be penetrated?

"What about that new group of people?" Lin Qing said. "Could they have come out from the Underground Research Institute today?"

"I don’t think so," Zhao Jiayi replied. "I saw that there were many footprints near that door underground, but the dust was still there. It obviously hasn’t been opened for a long time."

Lin Qing suddenly realized and nodded, "It seems there really is an underground passage."

Nowadays, Lin’an City is covered with life detectors, and satellites watch from above. If such a large group of people were to enter the range of Lin’an, it would be improbable for them not to be detected.

Hence, it’s highly likely that they came through an underground passage, and there must be shielding devices and counter-detection measures near the exit.

"Didn’t you detect that elevator shaft when you used telekinesis for surveillance?" Lin Qing asked, puzzled.

"There is a double-layered wine cellar above that elevator shaft, with several meters of rock slab in between. I didn’t expect it," Zhao Jiayi shook her head. "The consumption of energy in telekinesis penetration is also quite significant. It requires doing it bit by bit. I stopped penetrating further when I found a large wine cellar."

She muttered, "If it weren’t for the gathering of so many people there today and they just happened to open the elevator shaft, I wouldn’t have been able to find that door eighty meters underground right away."

Lin Qing could understand her point.

Telekinesis detection wasn’t able to sense everything within its range in an instant. To conduct a precise search, one had to go bit by bit.

Penetrating air itself required some consumption, not to mention materials with thousands of times denser like rocks.

"Let’s pretend to go for breakfast later and visit the nearby area again."

Lin Qing said, "Then you can try to detect again. Could you possibly be discovered? If there’s a risk, we’ll forget it."

"It won’t happen," Zhao Jiayi said confidently. "Among that group, there are several Genetic Awakened, but not a single Telekinesis Awakener. Otherwise, I would have detected them straight away."

Lin Qing nodded slightly and said, "Then take another look."

He wasn’t very interested in the Underground Research Institute behind that door; he was mainly worried.

The sooner they figured things out, the better prepared they could be.

Furthermore, the Order Level had not dropped, indicating that the group did not intend to stay or disrupt Order.

...

Half an hour later, Lin Qing and Zhao Jiayi changed into casual clothes and went to a tea restaurant near White Oak Street with some fame and reputation for breakfast.

After Zhao Jiayi signalled that it was alright, they quickly finished breakfast and returned to the district office.

"How did it go?"

Once inside the private resting room, Lin Qing looked at Zhao Jiayi.

It was always thought within the district that he and Zhao Jiayi had a special relationship. So, even if he frequently took her in and out of the resting room, no one would suspect anything.

After thinking for a moment, Zhao Jiayi said:

"There must be a device inside that hotel that shields the Life Detector, and they’re clever not to use the hotel’s electricity consistently, just the backup power supply. That’s why Patrol has never been able to find any clues from the electricity usage.

"From the results of my Telekinesis Detection, there are currently about seventeen people with a Life Level not much different from yours; three Genetic Awakened with significantly stronger Life Fields, and an elderly white man with an excessively strong aura called ’Professor Sog’ by others.

"I estimate that he has a higher level of control over genes and is capable of independently modifying and synthesizing genes."

"In addition, from the conversations and reactions of those people, one of the unawakened individuals named ’Luo Wu’ clearly holds a special status, even higher than those three Genetic Awakened.

"These people seem to be trying to open the door of the Underground Research Institute, and the condition to open the door appears to be gathering gene map information from a thousand successfully gene-modified individuals?

"It seems they’re nearly there, waiting for the results from another research facility."

Zhao Jiayi thought aloud and took a while before summarizing the information she had uncovered.

"Professor Sog?"

Lin Qing pondered for a long time and asked, "A level above Genetic Awakened, able to synthesize and modify genes on his own?"

"I don’t understand it myself; it was my uncle who used to be Patrol who told me about it," Zhao Jiayi said. "He taught me to differentiate the evolutionary stages of life by discerning the strength of Life Fields."

"Oh?" Lin Qing nodded slightly and asked, "What levels are there above that?"

"Above that?" Zhao Jiayi paused and said, "Beyond that is what Uncle Lu referred to as the realm of breaking the genetic limits of life forms, he just called it ’Original.’"

"Original?"

Lin Qing thought contemplatively and then asked, "That Professor Sog, what level of power does he possess? How does he compare to a Senior Patrol Chief?"

"He is definitely much, much stronger," Zhao Jiayi considered for a moment and said, "It’s not even on the same level, like the gap between a regular person and a Genetic Awakened."

Lin Qing came to a realization.

No wonder Zhao Jiayi was so startled in the car earlier; it seemed it was because she discovered Professor Sog.
