37: The interrogation revealed a chilling conspiracy by the Western Alliance!

"Monster..."

When Long Weiguo's shocked and unbelievable roar echoed in the empty core laboratory.

Lu Chen merely shrugged helplessly.

He couldn't exactly say, "I'm actually not a monster."

"I'm just an ordinary person who opened a tiny 'technology cheat,' right?"

...Half an hour later.

Dragon Shield Bureau, Tenth Underground Floor, S-Class Interrogation Room.

It was still that cold alloy interrogation chair.

It was still the "Cerebral Quantum Wave" Resonator, full of futuristic technology.

However, this time, the "guest" sitting on it had changed.

It was replaced by the ultimate trump card, who was even more mysterious and powerful than "Shadow"—

"Ghost."

He did not suffer a mental breakdown like "Shadow."

He just sat there quietly, not saying a word.

His pair of gray, dead eyes showed no ripple of emotion.

It was as if everything outside had nothing to do with him.

As if death, to him, was merely a release.

"A tough nut to crack."

In the monitoring room, Qin Feng frowned involuntarily as he looked at the figure on the screen, who was as stubborn as a rock.

"Boss, this guy doesn't seem to fear death."

"Doesn't fear death?"

Long Weiguo sneered.

A cold, chilling light flashed in his sharp eyes.

"In this world, no one doesn't fear death."

"He just hasn't found something that frightens him more than death yet."

He turned around and looked at the young man who was fiddling with a brand-new instrument with great interest.

"Lu Chen."

"It's your turn to take the stage."

"No problem."

Lu Chen nodded.

Holding the instrument, which was more peculiar and sci-fi looking than the "Cerebral Quantum Wave" Resonator, he slowly walked into the interrogation room.

He gently placed the instrument in front of "Ghost."

"What is this?"

"Ghost's" voice, which was hoarse, like two pieces of sandpaper rubbing together, sounded for the first time.

A trace of curiosity flashed in his dead eyes as he looked at the handsome, seemingly harmless young man in front of him.

"A good thing."

Lu Chen smiled and pointed at the instrument.

"I call it..."

"'Dream' Editor."

"Its function is very simple."

"It finds the most beautiful, most cherished memory in your mind, the one you least want anyone to touch..."

"And pulls it out."

"And then..."

A pure, angelic smile curved Lu Chen's lips.

"Right in front of you, little by little..."

"I will turn it into the dirtiest, ugliest, most nauseating..."

"Nightmare."

Boom!!!

This sentence was like a black bolt of lightning!

It struck fiercely upon the calm, ancient well of "Ghost's" heart!

For the first time, his dead, gray eyes contracted violently!

He stared intently at the young man, whose face held a "pure" smile!

An unprecedented, bone-deep terror instantly drowned out all his rationality!

Devil!

This guy was not human at all!

He was a complete and utter devil!

...Ten minutes later.

When Long Weiguo received the freshly produced interrogation report from the "Dream" Editor.

He was completely... stunned!

He looked at the lines of shocking, blood-red text on the report.

He felt a bone-chilling coldness rush straight from the soles of his feet to the top of his head!

His back was instantly soaked through with cold sweat!

"These... these deranged beasts!"

He suddenly slammed his fist violently against the alloy wall beside him!

"Bang!"

A dull, loud noise!

The half-meter-thick special alloy wall actually had a shallow fist print smashed into it!

It showed the extreme level of rage he felt internally at that moment!

Qin Feng and all the surrounding Dragon Shield Bureau members also turned pale!

Looking at the plan, which could only be described as "inhumane," they were all shaking with anger!

It turned out that the "Fire Stealer" Operation was not intended to steal the core technology of the pangu at all!

That was just the first layer of smoke and mirrors!

Their real goal was, after stealing the "fake" technology that Lu Chen had "carefully" prepared.

To use the mole, Zhong Kui, who had been lurking for twenty years.

To silently implant another, more malicious "thing" into the internal network of the Kunlun Mountain Base!

That was a newly developed super virus from the CIA, specifically targeting biological genes!

Once this virus was implanted!

It would lie dormant like the most terrifying ghost!

Waiting for the right moment!

Then... silently infect everyone who had contact with the base network, or even just lived inside the base!

This virus would not cause immediate death.

It would only quietly alter the infected person's... DNA chain!

Causing their descendants to suffer from various terrifying genetic defects!

And even... causing them to completely lose... the ability to reproduce!

This was no longer "war"!

This was an act of genocide targeting the most elite class of a nation!

They intended to completely cut off all hope for the future technological rise of Huaxia from the root!

"What a... venomous plot!"

Qin Feng's voice was trembling as he looked at the report!

If... if Lu Chen hadn't used his mysterious methods to expose "Shadow" and "Ghost" beforehand!

If he hadn't used such unbelievable means to pry open their mouths!

Then... the consequences would have been unimaginable!

Everyone shivered with cold fear!

They all simultaneously turned their gaze toward the young man, who had remained calm from beginning to end.

Their eyes were filled with lingering fear, gratitude, and... immense reverence!

It was him!

He had once again, silently, strangled a massive crisis capable of shaking the foundation of the nation in its cradle!

"Lu Chen..."

Long Weiguo walked up to Lu Chen, his resolute face filled with unprecedented solemnity!

He looked at Lu Chen and said, word by word, solemnly:

"It seems..."

"Our previous protection level for you was still... too low."

"The enemy is crazier than we imagined!"

"And also... more shameless!"

"Therefore..."

"I have a new idea."

"Hmm?" Lu Chen looked up.

Long Weiguo looked into his deep eyes, which seemed capable of seeing through everything, and slowly uttered something that Lu Chen hadn't anticipated.

"What do you think..."

"If we were to move the core laboratory of the pangu directly to..."

"A place that is absolutely safe, absolutely hidden, and that even our own people cannot find..."

"How about it?"
