Female Novel
Chapter 1560
Ian's brow furrowed as a familiar voice echoed - a voice reminiscent of Philip. But it couldn't be Philip; it
had to be his twin brother. Were they at the research base too?
He didn’t linger; even though sounds could be heard from there, he wasn’t able to catch the clear sight
inside.
Most of the base was sealed tight, allowing only glimpses through tiny cracks. There were no access
points here, no way out except for the one in his quarters.
After a lengthy trek, Ian stumbled upon another hatch. It could be opened, but he paused to peer
through first.
Below lay a glass chamber with a boy inside, seemingly at eighteen years old, his long hair obscuring
everything below his eyes. What drew Ian's attention was the jade pendant around the boy's neck -
similar to the one he'd seen on a woman's wrist at the hotel. But such pendants weren't exactly rare,
and from this distance, he couldn't make out any engravings.
Suddenly, the boy’s eyes snapped open, staring back at Ian through strands of hair. It was a piercing
gaze, and for a split second, Ian felt seen. But that was impossible for him to see anything; the cracks
were too small, and had the boy truly seen him, he'd likely have sounded the alarm.
Yet, the eyes remained calm, unwavering, devoid of emotions. Few seconds later, the boy brushed his
hair back over his eyes, clearly not having intent to betray Ian's presence.
Ian's brows furrowed; his suspicion grew. Was this boy one of the many test subjects of the base? He
had only just accessed the core area and been follow the woman the whole time; he hadn’t had time to
gather information.
Tentatively, Ian touched the hatch. It was operational; he could open it and jump in to confront the boy.
Raising his eyebrow, he scanned around; for now, aside from this hatch on this boy’s glass chamber,
there wasn’t any other ones to be found.
He walked slowly ahead, planning to discover all hatches tonight. At last, Ian found another one, below
which there was all darkness; he had no idea which way it led to. As he was about to open it, a bestial
growl was heard.
He didn’t mishear; that was indeed from beasts. Below, there were a flock of beasts?novelbin
While he was feeling confused, eyes, glowing red in the blackness, stared up at him. Any descent
would be met with a mauling.
He decided against opening it and continued walking in the air duct. In the end, he found only three
hatches at the base: one in the current room he was living, one above the boy's glass chamber, and
one at where the den of beasts were.
Because the last hatch was shrouded in darkness, which made it difficult to see the surroundings.
Looked like it would require a daytime visit for a clearer assessment.
