"Activate!" Long Yu mentally instructed as his entire body was enveloped by nano-machines.*Zzzrr*
Long Yu was now covered by his complete exoskeleton amour. He stretched a little before disposing the man"s corpse.
*Krrr*
The metal doors creaked loudly as he forcefully pried them open with his hands.After widening the gap enough to fit himself, he cautiously entered the doorway.
Entering, he saw nothing but corpses strewn all over the place.
"Activating thermal," he surveyed his surrounding once more with his new vision.
"Nothing either…"
At least within his sights, he saw no live creatures around him.
Long Yu pondered for a while before looking at the door access panel behind him. He then carefully removed the panel, exposing all sorts of cables and wires inside.
Next, he fiddled with the exchange system before receiving a small black tablet in his hands. It is a hacking tool which would easily allow him to access any system server as long he could physically connect it to a linked port.
In this case, it was fortunate for him that the door access system was directly connected to the facility"s mainframe.
Through a series of actions, Long Yu finally connected the tablet and used it to obtain information from the facility"s system.
"Let"s see…. Alright, found the floor plans," he managed to find what he wanted after flipping through the information that was transferred to his tablet.
"d.a.m.n, this place is unnecessarily big…" Long Yu cursed when he went through the plans.
Not only various rooms filled the layout, the facility also stretched across different levels.
"What a pain, most of the security cameras are either broken or destroyed…"
He was beginning to think someone was purposely making it hard for him. Of course, he knew his troubles was likely just caused by a series of coincidences.
"Oh, found something… A person inside a room… From the looks of it, this old man seems to be a scientist or researcher of sorts?" he mumbled to himself as he looked at one of the security feeds.
To his dismay, after scrolling through the other available feeds, he found no one else. It seems he needed to personally visit the mult.i.tude of rooms to find his target.
"No luck here either…" Long Yu sighed as he glanced at the holographic system panel.
His target, Xixi"s mother, which he set to be located by his exchange system, was still showing the same coordinates. Although the longitude and lat.i.tude would slightly change sometimes, it basically indicated she was inside the facility.
It seems the most precise information the system could provide was only his target"s coordinates. Therefore, if Long Yu wanted to pinpoint her exact location, he would have to do it himself.
Since it couldn"t be helped, Long Yu focused on physically searching for her himself. He looked at the floor plans once more before heading towards the nearest room.
…..
Back in the Black Shark…
Xixi who was laying on Li Xue Lan"s lap, suddenly sat up.
The irises in her opened eyes were glimmering with a red hue. Xixi blinked twice before looking around her.
"Thank G.o.d! Xixi, you are finally awake. Are you feeling better now?" Li Xue Lan who was initially shocked by her sudden wake quickly asked.
"Xixi?" she asked again when she did not receive any response. She a.s.sumed the child"s mind was still muddled since she just awoken.
"Where are we?" Xixi suddenly turned around and asked.
"Umm, we are currently outside the secret facility that Mister Long brought us to…" Li Xue Lan subconsciously answered.
The child somehow felt different to her. The emotionless face and calm demeanour somewhat scared her. She had never seen Xixi like this before; it was as if she was looking at a completely different person.
Of course, never could Li Xue Lan have guessed that there was actually another person"s soul residing inside the little girl"s body.
Naturally, the one controlling Xixi"s body at this moment, was actually Luo Xi.
"So we have finally arrived. It seems big brother has entered the facility as well," Luo Xi thought to herself.
Seeing Xixi sit there silently, Li Xue Lan did not know what to say either. To her surprise, the child suddenly made a request.
"Big sis Li, please turn around," Luo Xi said with a childish voice.
"Okay..." Li Xue Lan decided to comply out of curiosity. After all, what harm could a little girl do.
"Ack" she suddenly felt a pain coming from the back of her neck as her vision turned black. Li Xue Lan had just fainted.
Behind her, Luo Xi lowered her right hand which she had just used to knock Li Xue Lan unconscious.

"It seems my powers have grown and become easier to control as well," she said as she opened and closed her fists a few times.
Right now while she maintained control over Xixi"s body, Luo Xi could finally meet Long Yu in person.
Although she could have revealed her existence to him through Xixi, she did not want to do so.
Luo Xi had waited and yearned to reunite with him once more, even if she had to do it with a borrowed body.
She wanted to tell him that she was not gone, and had always been by his side. Perhaps such inexplicable feeling could be understood by herself.
Unbeknownst to her, this yearning had slowly turned into an obsession which she could no longer withhold.
