Chapter 617: Chapter 617

Wang Zhenxiong narrowed his eyes. These Deep Divers seemed to have a cooperative relationship with not only the Crimson Society, the cunning outsiders.

"Chairman, what is this connection point?"

Just as Wang Zhenxiong was pondering who else the Deep Divers might be cooperating with, Liao Fan opportunistically asked a question.

Wang Zhenxiong, coming back to reality, turned to look at Liao Fan, whose eyes were full of exploratory curiosity.

After pondering for a moment, he finally spoke, "Worlds can connect to each other, but there are prerequisite conditions. This condition is the connection point."

Hearing this, Liao Fan’s face showed a look of confusion as he mumbled, "Worlds... can connect? Besides the Crimson Land, are there other worlds?"

This statement immediately made Wang Zhenxiong suspicious.

The matter of the Insect Breeding Ground had been posted on the Star Network for so long, yet Liao Fan still seemed unaware?

But this emotion appeared only for an instant, then vanished without a trace.

Wang Zhenxiong remembered that the J-level Spiritual Energy User who was surveilling Liao Fan had said that Liao Fan lived a routine life, going just between the research lab and home.

Liao Fan hardly ever used his phone or communicator at home, focusing entirely on his scientific research.

Moreover, in the research lab, not a single corpse of the Insect Clan had ever appeared.

And with Liao Fan’s only relative dead at the hands of the Human Ghost, nobody contacted him, and he had no need to use these electronic devices.

Not knowing about the Insect Breeding Ground was understandable.

However, with that being the case...

Wang Zhenxiong’s eyes narrowed. This only made him easier to control.

Maybe he could send him to the connection point to study what changes occur to the Deep Divers nearby.

After patiently explaining the matter of restructuring the breeding ground again, Wang Zhenxiong silently observed Liao Fan’s reaction.

"This isn’t scientific."

Liao Fan outright rejected Wang Zhenxiong’s explanation, seriously correcting, "How could one world allow another to connect to it? They aren’t on the same plane to begin with. Such a thing shouldn’t be possible."

Wang Zhenxiong couldn’t have been more satisfied with Liao Fan’s reaction.

If Liao Fan had just accepted the connection of worlds outright, then Wang Zhenxiong would actually have found it odd.

Patting Liao Fan’s shoulder, Wang Zhenxiong said with a smile, "Yifan, you should know that this world itself isn’t scientific. Now, there’s a mission that I want to assign to you."

Liao Fan’s face, still wearing a look of bafflement, hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Chairman Wang, can I refuse? I...I..."

Wang Zhenxiong’s lips curved into a slight smile, his face suddenly turning serious, "Yifan, this mission can only be perfectly completed by you. After all, I greatly trust in your capabilities. That will be all."

Without waiting for Liao Fan to speak, Wang Zhenxiong spoke on his own accord, "Tonight, send Director Liao to the connection point, and take along the Deep Divers’ corpses."

In the meeting room that originally held only three people, suddenly a fourth person’s voice emerged.

Liao Fan, still in a daze, returned home and sat on the sofa in confusion for a while before taking out his phone to start searching for information about the connection of worlds.

Twenty minutes later, Liao Fan got up, sighed softly, and headed towards the bathroom.

Shortly after, the sound of washing hands came from the bathroom.

Hearing from Shadow about the news that Liao Fan would depart for the Zone 20 connection point tomorrow, Lu Zixun was stunned, his face filled with disbelief. They had... just found the connection point like that?

"I also think it’s quite incredible."

Recalling the process that Liao Fan had told him, even Shadow couldn’t help but scoff, "Mainly because Liao Fan’s acting is too convincing, now everyone in the Crimson Society believes that Liao Yifan is a big fool who is easy to control."

It was then that Lu Zixun remembered that this was Liao Fan’s pseudonym, and he couldn’t help but laugh and cry at the same time.

An undercover agent who doesn’t aspire to be an Oscar-winning actor is not a good intelligence department member, right?

Although everything was proceeding more smoothly than Lu Zixun had imagined, as long as it was completed, that was all that mattered.

Now that the specific location of the connection point was set in stone,

all that remained was to consider how to contact An Xiao.

After instructing Shadow to ensure Liao Fan’s safety, Lu Zixun began to think about how he could contact An Xiao.

Lu Zixun, who had slept all day and consequently felt groggy, opened his eyes in the dark night.

It seemed that this method wouldn’t reach An Xiao, and he would have to think of another way.

At two o’clock in the morning, a revitalized Lu Zixun appeared at Zeng Haoyang’s residence.

At this time, wearing pajamas and a displeased expression, Zeng Haoyang stared at Lu Zixun without uttering a word.

Knowing it wasn’t a good time to visit, Lu Zixun sheepishly smiled.

With an apologetic whisper, he said, "Elder Zeng, I need your help with something."

"Young man, you paying a visit is like a weasel wishing the chicken a Happy New Year, isn’t it? When else would you think of this old man? At my age, falling asleep and then getting up again really takes a toll..."

If I’m the weasel, does that make you the chicken, old man?... But Lu Zixun didn’t dare say that, instead he simply bowed his head and listened to Zeng Haoyang’s ramblings.

After about a quarter of an hour of being lectured, Zeng Haoyang felt a bit thirsty, and the quick-witted Lu Zixun offered him a cup of water, finally bringing the lecture to a close.

Clearing his throat and becoming focused, Zeng Haoyang returned to the main topic, "Tell me, what’s so important that you came to me in the middle of the night?"

After Lu Zixun informed Zeng Haoyang about the connection point, the Four-layer World, and the Deep Divers, he casually shared his thoughts, asking how he could contact An Xiao.

Zeng Haoyang had known about the connection of worlds for some time now.

The Bloodthirsty Emperor wasn’t a fool, and wouldn’t offer full-fledged help to the Crimson Society with the Genetic Optimization Formula.

Awakening the Bloody Moon would require participation from other forces.

However, Zeng Haoyang hadn’t expected that the Crimson Society would want to collaborate with the Deep Divers.

Was it overconfidence in their own strength or a lack of understanding of the Deep Divers’ greed?

No matter the possibility, the Four-layer World connecting at this point in time was too dangerous.

There were many things Zeng Haoyang knew that Lu Zixun did not.

"Not bad thinking, Da Ju..."

Looking at Lu Zixun, Zeng Haoyang sighed, "Why are you so fixated on using the dream method to contact An Xiao?"

Lu Zixun was startled for a moment, then honestly replied, "Because that’s how An Xiao contacted me initially, so I contacted her that way too."

At first glance, this statement seemed flawless. Zeng Haoyang lifted his hand and slapped his forehead, practically driven to tears by Lu Zixun’s stupidity.

She used this method because it fit her abilities.

If you don’t possess the same abilities, why not try a different method?

Leaving Zeng Haoyang’s residence, Lu Zixun’s face remained darkened all the way home.

Hearing the method of contact proposed by Zeng Haoyang, Lu Zixun was dumbstruck by his own foolish behavior of sleeping all day.
