Zou Jun stared at the annotations on the screen, his fingers trembling slightly.
It wasn't because it was shocking.
He understood.
The knowledge of the person behind those annotations is something he could never achieve, even if he lived three more lifetimes.
My first reaction wasn't admiration, but jealousy.
He took a deep breath, put his phone back in his pocket, and the usual smile returned to his lips.
"What good is knowledge if you're still just an ordinary person?"
Why is it said that the Xia Kingdom was barren?
Because the elders in the church have said:
In the land of Xia, the only entity that can be associated with supernatural forces is the official Bureau of Anomalies.
Of course, his seniors had also given him advice:
Don't anger the Bureau of Abnormalities.
Those investigators, though ordinary people, were all madmen.
A madman is more terrifying than a demon.
Zou Jun disagreed.
Ordinary people are just ordinary people.
Even at their craziest, they're still just crazy mortals.
In the Dark Council, he was indeed just a nobody.
But what about the Xia Kingdom?
He stood at the hotel entrance, sunlight falling on his shoulders, and the smile on his lips slowly widened.
Those ignorant fools must think I'm a god, right?
Zou Jun pondered:
"The person who sets these questions, a bigwig in the scientific community, should be serving me and the parliament, not working for that World Dream Group!"
Zou Jun canceled his plane ticket.
.....
South China Sea, Shentai Biotechnology Company.
Zou Jun stood in front of the office building and looked up.
suburbs.
He never imagined that such a remote place would have such a magnificent office building.
The glass curtain wall gleamed coolly in the sunlight, and the logo on the rooftop was simple yet grand.
He went inside and looked around.
In the reception area, a sweet-looking young woman was answering a phone call; her voice was gentle, and her language was efficient.
Two men in suits, carrying briefcases, walked past him toward the elevator.
Zou Jun overheard it.
The standard, fluent English was used in discussions about pharmaceutical licensing with a company in England.
He had done his homework.
Shentai Biotechnology Co., Ltd. is a biological laboratory primarily engaged in pharmaceuticals.
But what he didn't know was that the 33-story office building on the ground was just a facade.
Gym, swimming pool, cafeterias with different cuisines... these seemingly luxurious facilities are just the facade of Shentai Biotechnology Company.
The real thing is hidden underground.
Extraordinary bacterial research, extraordinary biological cloning.
Everything on earth serves only two purposes:
First, even a small scrap of material thrown out of the underground laboratory is the most advanced technology on the market. After some adjustments, it can bring a continuous stream of funds to the Forbidden Society.
Secondly, the research topics in the underground laboratory, apart from the core parts, will be broken down into several parts and distributed to the researchers upstairs for "collaborative research".
It can provide funding and also reduce Liu Weiqian's workload.
Kill two birds with one stone.
The elevator doors opened.
The rapid sound of high heels rang out, and a female office worker carrying documents hurriedly passed by Zou Jun, creating a gust of wind.
Shentai is currently in the market expansion phase, and these social elites are extremely busy.
Zou Jun smiled and walked into the elevator with the two men in suits.
......
Inside the examination hall.
Zou Jun glanced at the job seekers around him—not just Chinese, but also many blond-haired, blue-eyed faces.
A hint of disdain rose in his heart.
The United States is located in the West, a rich land kissed by Satan.
Why come to Xia Kingdom to look for a job?
How foolish.
The door was pushed open.
The woman who came in made him stare wide-eyed.
A high-end custom-made striped suit accentuated his sharp lines.
Her cold and beautiful eyebrows, exquisite features, and slightly upturned jawline exude an innate arrogance.
"President," the staff member in the examination room greeted him respectfully.
Zou Jun was stunned.
Is this beautiful woman the CEO of World Dream?
A playful smile slowly spread across Zou Jun's lips.
She's many times prettier than Anqi, and her status is far superior to that slut Anqi.
This is the kind of woman who would be by the side of a man as privileged as me.
Why not... finish answering the questions first, and be the first one to hand in your paper, giving her a real shock!
Zou Jun looked down at the question, but his brows gradually furrowed.
It was even harder than last time.
Half an hour passed, and he had only finished half of the exam, while others had already gotten up and handed in their papers.
One, two, three.
Zou Jun's face grew increasingly pale, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
Admittedly, he was quite ordinary among these job seekers.
So ordinary that... they might not even get a chance of being admitted.
"So what if you're well-educated?"
He sneered inwardly:
"Aren't we still just mortals?"
He has his own logic.
If one day a superhuman beats him down, he will say:
"So what if you can fight? You're just a brute; do you even know anything about education?"
Zou Jun simply stopped answering.
He put down his pen and stared at Xia Li without restraint.
His gaze lingered from her eyebrows and eyes to her neck, with the greed of a hunter eyeing his prey.
Just then, Shirley's phone rang.
She glanced at the screen, and her expression changed instantly—the surprise wasn't something a professional smile could fake; it was a joy that came from the very core of her being.
Zou Jun frowned.
On the other end of the phone was a man who was very important to her.
"Sir..." Xia Li said something in a low voice, then turned around and walked quickly out of the examination room in her high heels, her steps hurried as if she were going to greet someone.
Zou Jun murmured:
"Who...is sir?"
A sour feeling welled up inside me, like swallowing an unripe green orange.
He put down the exam paper, stood up, and followed them out.
......
Xia Li's figure swayed gracefully from behind, her high heels clicking lightly on the ground.
Zou Jun followed behind her, his gaze lingering on her waist and hips, and the slight sourness in his heart was gradually replaced by a secret feeling.
He reached up and touched the ram's head pendant around his neck, his lips moving as he silently murmured:
"I will serve you with my blood."
The pendant was slightly warm.
A strange energy fluctuation surged from the pendant, like ink dripping into clear water, and quickly spread throughout his body.
A bizarre thing happened.
Zou Jun looked down at his hands.
His hand was still there, but he knew that no one could see him anymore.
He walked down the corridor, and a female office worker carrying documents walked towards him, brushing past him.
Her gaze went straight through his body and landed on the wall in front of him, without lingering for a moment.
Stealth.
That is the power of the ram's head pendant.
Zou Jun smiled, his expression full of smugness.
"This barren land of Xia," he said softly, his voice drowned out by the noise of the corridor, "is my backyard."
......
Xia Li walked to an elevator, swiped her card, and had her iris scan verified.
With a "ding," the elevator doors opened.
There were two security guards standing inside, wearing sunglasses and masks, with only their hands showing.
They stood ramrod straight, like two sculptures.
Zou Jun followed him inside.
The elevator began to descend.
One second, two seconds, three seconds... a full minute passed before it finally stopped with a "buzz".
The door opened.
Zou Jun's eyes widened suddenly.
Underground laboratory.
A vast space unfolded before him, and the white light illuminated everything in perfect detail.
Sophisticated instruments, sealed glass chambers, densely packed pipelines... everything is orderly, exuding a cold, technological feel.
Zou Jun's blood began to heat up.
A mysterious scholar with profound academic knowledge, a secret laboratory hidden beneath the city of Nanhai...
World Dream Group is getting more and more interesting.
I wonder what kind of reward I'll receive when I hand over the World Dream Group to the parliament!
He was just about to step out of the elevator—
They grabbed his arms with both hands at the same time.
One on the left, one on the right, with a force as strong as iron clamps.
Zou Jun froze.
He slowly turned his head—it was the two security guards.
"You..." His voice was dry.
"How can you see me?"
Shirley turned around and frowned as she glanced at him.
There was no surprise in those cold, beautiful eyes, only disgust, as if they had seen an insect that had been accidentally stepped on.
"take away."
She waved her hand dismissively, her tone as indifferent as if she were ordering someone to dispose of trash.
"The master will be here soon, so don't get in his way."
Zou Jun stared wide-eyed in disbelief:
"You...you can see me too? How is that possible!"
The two security guards remained silent.
They helped Zou Jun out of the elevator and headed towards the west corridor.
His steps were steady, as if he were carrying a little chick.
Zou Jun was so frightened that he screamed:
Let me go!
What exactly are you?!
no answer.
Their true identity—scavengers.
Zou Jun was just an ordinary person who relied on the things in the pendant and had a slight touch of the extraordinary.
Even if the little devil inside the pendant escapes, the two cleaners can easily handle it.
What's more... that thing doesn't dare to expose itself to the air at all.
The corridor was long and dark, the lights were a stark white, making the walls look like a bloodless face.
The air was filled with a smell of disinfectant mixed with rust.
From the innermost room, the sound of banging on the iron door could be heard continuously.
"Bang—bang—bang—"
Rhythmic, dull, like something banging on a door with its body.
Zou Jun's heart was in his throat.
There's some kind of terrifying monster locked up inside.
Two security guards stopped in front of an iron gate, unlocked it, opened the door, and threw Zou Jun inside.
He stumbled and fell into the darkness. Before he could even regain his footing, the iron gate behind him slammed shut with a loud bang.
In the darkness, a pair of bright green eyes lit up.
A sharp, unpleasant jeer came from the darkness, like sandpaper rubbing against glass.
"'This barren land of Xia Kingdom is my backyard'? Hehehe—"
The voice paused, carrying a hint of cat-and-mouse pleasure.
"The last person to say that was Misawa Haruaki."
The grass on your grave is taller than you now.
Zou Jun's back pressed against the cold wall, and cold sweat slid down his forehead.
He finally understood.
From the moment he walked into the company—someone noticed him.
