Chapter 517
As Professor Jin got everyone to search for Lin Huang on the island, Lin Huang had dove underground after transforming himself into the Spectre . As he went deeper, he found out that the middle of the island was hollow . There were many monsters of different varieties hiding underground . To his surprise, there was an entrance leading to the ground .
"So, the monsters that attacked us were released from here . " Lin Huang could not figure out where the monsters had come from earlier, but he had the answer now . In the hollow island was a huge space with many different monsters . There was also some staff in white coats working there . Lin Huang initially wanted to leave immediately, yet he could not help but take some photos as he strolled around the island within the walls .
"The staff are all wearing white coats . None of them are wearing the Purple Crow uniform . Are they not from the Purple Crow?" After a brief exploration, Lin Huang started suspecting that it was not the Purple Crow's base as he could not find any of the organization's logo there . Under normal circumstance, even the laboratory staff should have the Purple Crow logo emblazoned on their white coats . However, Lin Huang could not find any sign of the logo on their clothes . They looked more like doctors in normal hospitals .
However, considering his current situation, Lin Huang did not dwell on it as he proceeded to dive deeper…
There were many floors under the base on this island . There were monsters of different types on different floors, and Lin Huang felt dizzy looking at all the monsters .
"There are really immortal-level rank-8 and even rank-9 monsters here…" The deeper the floor, the more powerful the monsters that were captured . Lin Huang's pupils dilated slightly when he saw the hundreds of immortal-level rank-8 and rank-9 monsters .
If a few imperial-level humans were to control these powerful monsters, they could destroy an A-grade foothold easily . These monsters were not probably trained by a run-of-the-mill organization .
"Is it really not the Purple Crow?" Lin Huang thought only a handful of top underground organizations could afford to do this . If it was not the Purple Crow, it had to be another top organization that was just as powerful as the Purple Crow .
Lin Huang did not stay any longer after snapping some pictures . The more he saw what was in the organization, the more he thought he should leave . As he dove into the bottom of the island, he entered the ocean as the Spectre . When he was ready to summon his dimensional relic, Lin Huang saw a light under the ocean . He hesitated and gave in to his curiosity, swimming towards the light . As he transformed into the Spectre, he did not have to worry about the water pressure or breathing difficulties . He soon dove hundreds of meters deeper where the light was getting brighter .
"This is a… base?!" As he dived 4,000 meters down, Lin Huang finally saw the source of the light . It was an underground base that was covered in a transparent defense layer that isolated it from the ocean . Looking at the bubbles, Lin Huang could tell that the island lockdown earlier had been orchestrated by the people from this base . He did not get closer as he locked eyes on the top of the base . There was a weird logo on it that looked like a table knife tilted in a circle .
"A table knife? Which organization is this?" Lin Huang could not recall any underground organization with such a logo . When he was in the Purple Crow training camp, he had learned most of the organization logos in Division 7, but he did not remember any of them having a table knife as a logo . He snapped a couple of photos but did not get any closer . Although he was in the Spectre form right now, he could not get into the base as there wasa defense layer around it . He decided to leave as soon as he could after snapping the pictures . After he was a distance away from the island, Lin Huang summoned his dimensional relic in the ocean and left .
…
In a control room under the sea, a bunch of staff was working hard . The silver-haired Professor Jin looked upset as Lin Huang was nowhere to be found on the island .
"Professor, we've looked all over the island, but we can't find him . The only possibility is that he has escaped," the middle-aged man next to him said .
"How is that possible? Isn't the island locked down? Where could he have possibly run to?!" Professor Jin could not accept the fact .
"It's not difficult for him to escape if he has a supreme escaping relic with him to break free from the lockdown," the man explained softly .
"Besides a relic, if he has earth attributes skills or penetrating skills, he can escape from underground . The island is too big . The setting of the lockdown mainly focuses on the top of the island, and excludes the underground . "
"It has been more than half an hour now . No matter what he used, it's sufficient time for him to activate a dimensional relic to escape," the man speculated with a helpless expression .
"All of you are useless!" Professor Jin seemed to realize that what the man told him was the truth and became mad .
"If anything like this happens again, you guys should get ready to be fed to the monsters . "
The staff in the control room had cold sweat trickling down their backs .
"You have 24 hours to find out who exactly this kid is!" Professor Kin stomped out of the control room after bellowing .
…
After escaping from the ocean, Lin Huang returned to the Martial Hunter College dorm . He did not have the time to catch up on the past few days as he called Mr . Fu straight away .
As he explained what happened to Mr . Fu, he sent the photos that he had snapped on the island .
"Master, which organization does this table knife logo belong to?" Lin Huang could tell from Mr . Fu's expression that he was familiar with the organization .
"What table knife?! That's a surgical knife!" Mr . Fu chortled before explaining .
"This organization is called the Scarborough Workshop, or at least that's what it was called 200 years ago . I'm not sure what it's called now . The founder of the organization is a crazy old man . He's very powerful and is one of my oldest opponents . He was beaten up by me badly . I thought he'd be dead by now, but it seems like he's still alive…"
"Do you mean Professor Jin?" Lin Huang asked .
"No, Professor Jin is his apprentice . He used to have two apprentices . I killed the first one, and Professor Jin is the second one . I'm not sure if he has any new apprentice now," Mr . Fu said like he could not care less .
"I don't care what they're doing, but they would never dare to touch you, so there's nothing to worry about . Especially Professor Jin, he'll be glad that he didn't do anything to you when he finds out who you are . "
…
"Mr… . Mr . Fu's apprentice…" Looking at Lin Huang's details on the screen, Professor Jin became pale, and his heart was beating fast . The middle-aged man did not notice his reaction while he continued to look at the screen .
"This Lin Huang kid is working at the Martial Hunter College . Should I get someone to bring him back?"
"This is the end of it . Nobody touches this Lin Huang!" Professor Jin was even more upset after hearing the man's suggested and shouted .
"But didn't you say…" The man could not understand Professor Jin's reaction .
"I don't care what I said before . Everything before isn't important now! The most important thing is that you must remember what I'm saying now . Lin Huang has never been here, and we have never had any conflicts with him!" Professor Jin looked seriously across the room .
All of the staff nodded immediately while remembering Lin Huang's name . They could not understand how the kid could make Professor Jin so fearful .
Professor Jin headed straight to the washroom after leaving the control room . He panted as he leaned against the bathroom door after locking it . He snapped out of it after a while and washed his face . He had almost wet his pants when he saw Mr . Fu's photo with that seemingly kind face on the screen . He still remembered how scary Mr . Fu was…
