Lu Chenyuan obviously realized something as well, his expression changing slightly.
"You're saying..." He looked up at Gu Xi abruptly. "Someone is stealing the Crystal Cores from the brains of mutants for experiments? And it's related to the NX1984 incident?"
Gu Xi nodded. "Back then, after the 176 incident in South City, Mr. Zhou said one Crystal Core was missing from the scene..."
She looked out the window, half of her face silhouetted against the light, her expression unreadable. "Supposedly, it was the Crystal Core of a Level 9 ability user who had mutated."
Because of this, the South City Base was under martial law for quite some time, and Gu Xi and her two companions were also brought in for questioning.
At the time, Gu Xi had only thought the missing Crystal Core was an excuse, a cover story for what happened at the South City Restaurant.
But now, it seemed that might not have been the case.
"What are your thoughts?" Lu Chenyuan asked, looking up at Gu Xi.
