Chapter 408 - Ghost-like Beauty (1/2)

“Don’t go in” Xia Lei stopped in his tracks before a few soldiers “Wait forhesitated “Why aren’t you letting o in with you?”

“The people who’ve come into contact with that alloy are either dead or o in It’s better for you to stay outside,” said Xia Lei

Long Bing was touched “But aren’t you going in too? How can I let you go in alone? What if soo in with you I can be your support”

“It’s better if I go in alone Aren’t I sacrificingthe role of cannon fodder? Don’t worry, I’ll be fine It’s decided then Don’t followwas stubborn

‘Didn’t you say that I have special authority in thisyou to stay behind, so stay behind”

“You…” Long Bing was annoyed but she did not disobey Xia Lei’s command

Xia Lei said no more and entered the research area as he said to the soldiers, “Don’t let anyone in”

“Yes, Sir!” replied the soldiers in the passageway; their voices were loud and crisp

Xia Lei glanced back at Long Bing before he disappeared fro opened herbut did not voice it in the end These soldiers before her did not have the authority to stop her and she could enter if she wished but she did not It was not because she was afraid of death but because she respected Xia Lei’s decision and was touched by his concern

The research area was quiet and nothing made sound Xia Lei’s footsteps beca off the walls and ht ca his shadow

‘I’ve eaten the AE capsules and that resulted in an iht after interacting with the ancient alloy,’ thought Xia Lei as he ca Lei

No one could remain entirely cal , not even Xia Lei He could not avoid the instinctive fear hulass door open after a short period of hesitation, and walked in He had entered the area in an anti-bacterial suit the last ti Lei and the researchers had worn these suits every day but they still went oing to be of any use, so he didn’t wear it

He spotted those two pieces of ancient alloy when he walked in They sat quietly on the research table The bronze book too - it sat silently on Ning Jing’s work table

The pieces of ancient alloy and bronze book were not living things but the feeling that they were sentient grew in Xia Lei as he watched the but it was a very real and clear feeling

Xia Lei walked to Ning Jing’s work table and reached out to flip through the pages of the book The strange letters she had shown hiraved on the bronze book - some looked like tadpoles and some looked like human faces, while some others looked like a mass of chaotic lines

Was this so?

Xia Lei had his suspicions before but the feeling was stronger now This was not ancient lettering But if they weren’t letters, then ere they carved on a bronze book? And was it so dynasty? Hoas it linked to AE?

Questions popped up one after another in Xia Lei’s head, dancing around and washi+ng over hirew restless

Xia Lei had no new clue after looking at the letters He walked over to the pieces of ancient alloy and brought theether

The two pieces of ancient alloy looked like parts of some machine and were shaped differently They wereThey were stronger than most modern alloys of the world It was the perfect material to make jets or space shuttles with so it was no wonder the nation saw it as soht ca them for a while, ‘My ability came from AE These two pieces of alloy are also inextricably linked to AE, and this bronze book too… Would there be some sort of reaction if I used ht

Xia Lei called forth the power of his eye after the thought popped into his head and he turned his gaze to one of the pieces of ancient alloy

He felt like his vision was being sucked into a vortex instantly, and was falling, falling into a dark abyss He could not see anything His body seemed to have been thrust into an icehouse too and he was immediately cold from head to toe, frozen and unable to ?’ Xia Lei’s heart filled with terror
