Chapter 6, Northern Imperial Capital

The vehicle traveled for nearly one hour on the road and finally arrived at its destination—a massive white research institute located in the center of the capital.

The airship approached the top, and a circular door slowly appeared above the smooth summit. The airship passed through the door and entered a tunnel, where invisible, dense rays scanned the airship and every individual and corner within it, determining whether there were any prohibited hazardous items or pests present. Two minutes later, the view opened up again, revealing a vast expanse of clear blue sky and white clouds, with no visible boundaries and no sight of the city walls surrounding the imperial capital.

Should we go in? Should we leave the dean alone? Could there be any danger, that woman...

"I am sorry, Eisen, this belongs to the Dean." William slapped Eisen's face with one hand, pushing him back a few steps. His blue eyes scanned the laboratory, "Where is the Dean?"

After turning several corners in the seemingly immaculate white corridor and passing countless closed doors, they finally arrived at their destination. A blonde woman in a white robe was holding a document in her hands, occasionally glancing at her watch. Upon seeing Ge Canglan and the two people behind her, she immediately stood up straight, said something to the room, and then looked outside with a serious expression, "You are ten minutes late"

"Take off your clothes." After a while, Shen Tu Mohan's calm voice came through; he did not turn his head at all, still engaged in whatever he was doing. He then added in a nonchalant manner, "All of it. Until everything is checked, you do not need any piece of fabric on your body."

"Alright, go in," the woman said, giving Ge Canglan a scrutinizing glance before turning and entering the house

"Then, please come in with us, Miss," Murong Yunjue said, his gaze sweeping over Ge Canglan's face. He thought to himself that she truly appeared to be an extremely fragile person. If her physical condition was not fabricated in any way, then the possibility of her posing a threat to the Northern Region was almost nonexistent. The country protected by their dean was not one that could be easily stirred into turmoil by just anyone.

The elevated highway, crisscrossing the sky like a spider's web, has been enveloped in projections that transform it into a brick road rich with the ancient and serene charm of moss and ivy. This creates an illusion that the city is completely unpolluted, with fresh air and simple folk customs, resembling not a large metropolis, but rather a town that exudes a blend of prosperity and an elegant, rustic flavor.

The female tyrant has never regarded the scraps with any importance. "Is this the young lady who is immune to insect attacks?" exclaimed a man holding a syringe, his eyes filled with fervor to the point that his pupils slightly trembled, his breath becoming somewhat unsteady. "Let me take charge; I will definitely dissect her well..."

This is a laboratory. Upon entering the room, one sees a series of neatly arranged large glass containers resembling test tubes, as well as several surgical tables and various scientific instruments, yet there is no one present. A few individuals pass through these items, and ahead, a blue glass sensor door opens automatically, revealing another larger laboratory inside. There are many people in white coats, each busy in their respective areas. Upon hearing the sound of the door opening, they instinctively turn their heads to look, and pairs of eyes fall upon Ge Canglan, filled with fervor, indifference, and disdain.

Without mentioning the gossip of the researchers outside, the laboratory where Shen Tu Mohan and Ge Canglan are located is very quiet. Apart from the machines, there are only the two of them inside. The sounds from outside are well isolated, not a trace of noise reaches in.

"How amazing... it's the first time I've seen a woman so calm in the presence of our dean..." As Shen Tu Mohan, who has been voted the most desirable man among women in the entire Northern Region, most women react to him as if they were seeing a super celebrity, either screaming or blushing profusely, let alone making eye contact with their dean.

Just as he was thinking this, the next moment, Ge Canglan cast a faint glance at him and stepped forward into the research institute. Murong Yunjue's expression suddenly changed, his steps halted abruptly, and he stood still, watching Ge Canglan's figure as she walked ahead.

Ge Canglan lowered her gaze, gently turning the dark golden ring on her left little finger, her expression inscrutable

One car after another drove away, and soon only Ge Canglan and two researchers remained at the entrance. The surroundings were empty, with only the sound of the fountain ahead splashing loudly.

As the accompanying soldiers utilized the VIP passage to leave, there were still some who noticed the presence of Ge Canglan. However, due to the soldiers surrounding her, they did not dare to look closely, constantly speculating about who this significant figure might be

As the final note faded, the blue sensor door deeper inside opened, and a figure appeared in everyone's line of sight

However, even so, the female tyrant still does not like this country or even this world. No matter how magnificent and dazzling the imperial capital appears, it cannot make her overlook the national wall and the city walls surrounding the entire imperial capital, nor the invisible detection systems that loom in every corner. There is a pervasive sense of vigilance everywhere. While being meticulous is not a bad thing, when taken too far, it becomes cowardice and timidity.

If even the dean is in danger, I suggest we hurry to the coffin shop to pre-order a coffin, as I fear it may be too late to buy one later

... ...

William took two steps forward and turned to look at Murong Yunjue, noticing that his expression was not right, "What is it?"

In the distance, Ge Canglan saw the city enveloped by a massive inverted bowl-shaped silver-gray steel structure. Although she could not see the scenery on the ground from the airship, she clearly observed the silver-gray top, which was the wall surrounding the entire imperial capital. The circular top abruptly emerged between the clouds

The song of the vast waves is treated as if it were invisible

A row of shiny black military vehicles had been waiting outside for a long time. Ge Canglan took her seat in the middle vehicle, and then the entire row of vehicles started up in unison, heading in a certain direction

Ge Canglan certainly does not know, but there are already people waiting at the destination

The airship advanced steadily, neither fast nor slow, towards the capital, and finally at 1:00 PM, the shadow of the capital came into view

Two men looked helpless; they did not want to be here either. However, this woman had a really weak constitution, coughing a few times after just a few steps. She walked at a pace akin to a leisurely stroll, which added an extra ten minutes to the originally expected travel time.

"Hello, that woman just made eye contact with our dean, didn't she?"

The airship slowly descended at the Airship Center in the capital. Once it came to a stop, a female soldier immediately approached Ge Canglan, holding a thick fox fur coat.

"Our director has been waiting for quite some time." A golden-haired William stepped forward, smiling like a dandy. He looked at the soldiers surrounding Ge Canglan and said with a grin, "You may leave now; from this moment on, this young lady is under the care of our research institute"

The vehicle circled around the large fountain in front of the door and then stopped at the entrance, where two researchers dressed in white robes were waiting. Upon seeing Ge Canglan descend, they raised their eyebrows slightly, their eyes reflecting both astonishment and interest

Indeed. No one has any objections. Who does not know that the entire Northern Region, the research institute is a place more secure than prisons and national walls? Despite the seemingly empty appearance with not a single guard in sight, one must understand that all systems, weapons, machines, and various drugs of the Northern Region country are produced by the research institute, and its inherent defensive capabilities are undoubtedly formidable.

William twirled a lock of hair on his finger, his blue eyes observing Ge Canglan, who was walking ahead of him and Murong Yunjue. He felt a mix of interest and frustration. After all, this was their territory; why did this woman walk ahead as if she were the boss leading an inspection? Did she even know where they were going?

Ge Canglan took a step forward and walked in, leaving a group of people behind who were slow to react, looking at each other in disbelief

His gaze fell upon Ge Canglan, who met his eyes with an expressionless look. No one spoke, and time seemed to come to a sudden standstill for a moment, until Shentu Mohan was the first to break the silence, speaking softly, "Come in." With that, he turned and walked back.

He was a man, tall and slender, wearing a white lab coat identical to those of the researchers present. His hair was dark as ink, styled in a tousled manner, and he wore a pair of exquisitely crafted, slightly oval-shaped gold-rimmed glasses. His face bore little expression, giving him an air of refined handsomeness. Yet, this individual seemed inherently different from others; his features were not particularly outstanding, and his attire was the same ordinary white lab coat worn by everyone else in the room. Nevertheless, simply standing there, he naturally drew attention, an innate magnetism that made him stand out.

Ge Canglan stood in front of a white machine, which was divided into two parts. The lower part was a white stone platform for lying down, while the upper part was an oval-shaped object resembling a goose egg that could cover the entire lower section. Shen Tu Mohan did not instruct Ge Canglan on what to do; he was engaged in some activity at a nearby shelf, from which the continuous sound of metal striking could be heard. The man's silhouette did not appear particularly strong, yet there was an inexplicable sense of oppression that seemed to linger around him.

Murong Yunjue came to his senses, shook his head, and stepped forward. The moment he made contact with those eyes, just a glance, a bone-chilling cold swept over his entire body, and he felt an overwhelming sense of contempt. Perhaps he should reconsider his previous thoughts; at the very least, she needed to be more mindful.

Ge Canglan leaned against the window, gazing at the buildings outside. Just looking at them felt incredibly magnificent. Most of the architecture was in the Western European style, including Gothic, Baroque, and others, with vibrant and captivating colors. The streets were also very clean and tidy, with rooftops that were either round or pointed, each adorned with the national flag of the Northern Domain—24 colors enveloping a blazing red sun at the center, fluttering neatly in the wind, creating a rather spectacular and beautiful sight.
