Chapter 443 – Rain (3)
"Reaper…" A cold glint flashed across Yun Lintian's eyes. He was familiar with this so-called Reaper as they fought several times in the past.
Xiao Kai explained further. "I find it strange. How did he guess we were going to take this place?"
Yun Lintian leaned against the sofa and said. "Although our movement has always been secret, it doesn't mean we can hide from everyone's sight." He paused for a moment and continued. "First, we need to make sure whether there are others besides Reaper. Can you do it?"
Xiao Kai nodded his head and then shook his head. "I'm afraid my skill is not enough on this one… Why don't we ask Sister Lynn?"
As Lynn's name was mentioned, everyone involuntarily glanced at Xia Yao as though they were afraid of her.
Xia Yao looked at everyone and covered her mouth, laughing amusingly. "Why are you all looking at me like that? Am I that scary?"
Everyone subconsciously nodded their head and then hurriedly shook their head.
Xia Yao rolled her eyes and said. "Do you want me to contact her?"
Lei Hao, Tu Feng, and Xiao Kai involuntarily turned to look at Yun Lintian as though they were trying to say, 'Good luck, Boss.'
Droplets of sweat suddenly appeared on Yun Lintian's forehead. He hesitated for a moment and said. "I will leave this matter to you."
Xia Yao nodded her head in satisfaction and picked Yun Lintian's phone up, dialing Lynn Wintercrest.
Lynn's seductive voice immediately rang out from the other side when the call connected. "Do you miss me, My Dear Lintian?"
Hearing this, Lei Hao glanced at Yun Lintian and gave him a gloating smile.
Meanwhile, Yun Lintian subconsciously straightened his back, trying to be calm as much as possible.
Xia Yao glared fiercely at Yun Lintian while replying. "Sorry, he's not here."
"Oh my! Concubine Lynn greets the Empress." Lynn was surprised slightly and quickly responded playfully.
"Stop it now before I get angry." Xia Yao frowned slightly. "We have something to ask you. Sky has found Reaper appear here. We want to know more about it."
Lynn put her playful thought away and asked in a serious tone. "Reaper? How did he appear there? I'll check it first."
Everyone in the room glanced at each other upon hearing this. It was rare to see someone escape from Lynn's eyes. It seemed that Reaper appeared here wasn't simple as Xiao Kai said.
A while later, Lynn's voice rang out. "It's true. He used a special channel through a country to go there. However, his goal seems to be something related to Project Eve."
"Project Eve…" Yun Lintian exchanged a glance with Xia Yao, and they could see a trace of solemness in each other's eyes.
Project Eve was an experiment aiming to create a new type of human. It was similar to a cloning project but entirely different in terms of the gene. Project Eve had introduced a superior gene of animals, such as cheetah's speed or crocodile's biting force, to blend into a biologically-created human. If the project was successful, the world would undoubtedly descend into chaos.
This was also why the Hell Church continued to abduct countless children throughout the entire world. They needed a lot of experimental objects.
Lynn continued. "My guess is that the Hell Church's nest in your city is actually a secret base of Project Eve. So I don't recommend you to go there. You better leave as soon as possible before they got wind about you."
Yun Lintian's face was ashen. He immediately understood how risky this operation was. However, he couldn't bear to see those children become experiment objects…. What should he do now? Withdraw or take a risk?
Xia Yao gently grabbed Yun Lintian's hand and said with a smile. "Whatever your decision is, I support you. We will fight this together."
Warmth surged in Yun Lintian's heart. He held Xia Yao's hand tightly and said with a serious expression. "Thank you, Yaoyao."
"Hey, hey! I'm still here, you know? Don't show affection while calling me, okay?" Lynn shouted in dissatisfaction through the phone. She was jealous of Xia Yao, who could stay by Yun Lintian's side as much as she wanted.
Xia Yao glanced at the phone and said. "Thank you for telling us. I'll hang up now."
"You dare, Xia Yao!" Lynn responded angrily. Sadly, before she could say anything further, the call was already gone as Xia Yao pressed the hang-up button.
Yun Lintian scratched his head and did not know what to say at the moment.
"Why? Do you want to coax her?" Xia Yao glanced at Yun Lintian.
Yun Lintian hurriedly waved his hand. "No, no. I was thinking about how to pay for her information."
Xia Yao stared straight into Yun Lintian's eyes and said. "I'll give her two dollars later."
Yun Lintian, Lei Hao, Tu Feng, and Xiao Kai glanced at each other and decided not to participate in this further.
Yun Lintian took a deep breath and said. "You heard about it. Let's vote."
Xia Yao spoke first. "I'm in."
Tu Feng nodded his head and said. "I'm with Sister Rain."
"Me too." Lei Hao followed.
Xiao Kai stared at the group of children's pictures for a while and said. "Let's do it."
Yun Lintian nodded his head. "Alright. Now I'm going to talk about the plan." Following that, the room was immediately filled with discussion sounds.
***
In a secret basement somewhere in the city, a tall, skinny man with a long scar on his face stood calmly, listening to a fat man in a white gown.
"Thank you for coming here in a person, Mister Reaper. I didn't expect the headquarter to send you here. I'm flattered by this." The fat man said with a flattering smile. His codename was Donkey.
Reaper said expressionlessly. "Take me to see it." His voice was incomparably hoarse, making people feel uncomfortable to hear.
Donkey hurriedly made an inviting gesture and led Reaper to an inner room filled with several humans size tube glasses on both sides.. In these tube glasses were strange creatures that resembled half-human, half-animal….
