Chapter 382: The Meeting: Part 2
The red ripple was a mysterious sound wave, a powerful ability unique to the Lingying family .
If the Palatinates could only get their special ability from the Sea of Equality after achieving a breakthrough, then what this ancient family possessed was the special ability passed down from generations through a special method . Their ancestors used to be the Palatinates, and the ability was now in their blood .
It did not require one to be a Palatinate to use this ability . Rather, the ability was in the blood . All it took was an activation, and the ability was good to go . But such special ability got through such a method was a lot weaker than that of the Palatinates .
The red ripple was a powerful sound wave that Lingying commonly used to detect traps and look for special dangers . Right now, this badass sound wave that used to give him the edge had lost its effect .
As soon as the red ripple entered the laboratory area, it slowed down almost to a halt . It was as if someone had pressed the slow-motion button on a movie, the red ripple came to a crawl on the floor, walls, ceiling and surfaces of various instruments .
“Something is in the way,” Ringer said .
“Forget it, just barge in . I don’t think this freaking Sanctum can do anything about us!”
Obviously, the man on the right side was impatient . He took a step forward, his body glowing with a bright green halo, in which a tiny dark-energy bee appeared and circled around him .
He stomped his feet on the floor of the lab, and his expression changed . Something was not right .
“Something is suppressing my power!” He was as shocked as he was angry .
“Let’s do it! We only have ten minutes . ” Without hesitation, Ringer lunged into the research center like a bolt of lightning .
The three men ransacked the place, rummaging through documents, drawers and everything they found .

Every security and surveillance array and electronic equipment went out of order . The entire underground research center became undefended as if an undressed woman .
Experimental data, research reports, and even the holy water tank Lin Sheng had just made—they found and tossed them to the doorway .
Soon, Ringer found a very special black safe hidden under the floor right in the center of the laboratory . It was unmoveable, permanently built into the ground .
“There must be something valuable in here!” The safe had aroused Ringer’s interest .
“Open!” A light pink halo glowed on his arm . He placed his hand on the safe with his palm pressed on the surface . Sonic waves penetrated the safe and reverberated in the safe interior . The reverberation enabled Ringer to get a ton of information about the safe, including the password .
He retracted his hand and keyed in a string of numbers on the keypad on the safe . The safe opened and revealed its dark interior .
“This thing…?” Ringer’s eyes brightened up . He took out the thing . It was a black notebook—a seemingly ordinary notebook you could buy on the street .
There were two words on the cover . Ringer turned to page one . Something was special about this book . Otherwise the owner would not have kept it so secure in the safe, he figured .
As Ringer flipped open the notebook, he saw rows of text and symbols that he could not understand on white background .
“This is … . . Ancient Rehn text? There are some symbolic texts I can’t recognize!” Ringer’s heart skipped a beat . He knew he had struck gold . It did not matter if he could not read the text . He could bring it back and get the linguists to crack it . The text must be some valuable records .
He closed back the notebook and tucked it in his clothes .

Suddenly, plumes of black smoke appeared and formed into shapes in the basement . It was three red armored soldiers .
The research area stored tons of valuable date . It was only natural that Lin Sheng placed the most powerful guards in here . Every once in a while, the red armored soldiers would come to check out the lab .
As a summoner, Lin Sheng trusted no one except his summoned creatures . They were his greatest support . That was the reason the red armor soldiers would come every five minutes .
But the appearance of the three red armored soldiers did not cause Ringer and his partners in crime to go panic . Their eyes stayed still, as if they were not worried of getting caught .
When they ransacked the place, they had put everything they touched back to its original position, as if it had never been moved . Their special stealth ability allowed them to stand in front of people and not being seen .
But to their surprise, the red armor soldiers’ eyes swept over the laboratory and smashed the alarm button on the wall .
“Intruders!”
The alarm siren blared in the air as the soft ambient light in the laboratory turned into dazzling red .
Ringer and co stayed calm . They carried the bags loaded with loots and hurried towards the door .
“Get the hell out of here! The concentration of the strange energy is too high here . We can’t use a teleporting array in here!”
“Got it!”

The men were like locusts . They had looted everything in the research center: precious materials for building the Darkspirit Gate, the hard disks that Lin Sheng used to record experimental data and non-networked data disk that held confidential contents . And most importantly, the notebook . They had stuffed them into a large bag .
They had also taken those small items and test samples that Lin Sheng made . Not forgetting the holy soil in the glass .
“Bolt!”
The three of them rushed towards the exit and quickly left the field of influence of the holy power .
Inside the conference room, Nikos and co confronted Lin Sheng as Seagal and Tenko Kasumi as the representative .
Their attitude was anything but sincere . In Lin Sheng’s eyes, they were forcing their demands down his throat .
How many Palatinates were there in the three mysteries realms? With the entire government machinery thrown in, it was a behemoth . For them to take the trouble to give this small sanctum a heads-up was the most civilized attitude they could afford .
Lin Sheng knew this . But he also knew that he must not divulge the Ashen Seal technique of the Holy Power to outsiders . No matter how hard Nikos and co tried to persuade him, he would not budge .
“Only those truly believe in the Holy Light could master the Holy Power-Ashen Seal cultivation technique . Whether we give it to people outside the Sanctum or not is irrelevant . Those with a heart not in the right place would never learn it even if they get the cultivation technique,” Lin Sheng said .
“It doesn’t matter . You just need to give us the cultivation technique . We will figure it out later . Please don’t worry about it . ” Nikos smiled, not minding to glib-talk with Lin Sheng .
It puzzled Lin Sheng . In fact, with their power and influence, Nikos and co could have forced their way through . But they did not . Instead, their attitude seemed to have done a one-twenty . They sounded as if everything was negotiable . It was as aggressive as before .
“Something is going on in here,” Lin Sheng figured quietly . These people would not mess around . They would not waste time like that . One was a Palatinate, and two apex Six Wingers from the highest echelon of Carte Blanche . Why would they muck around with the keeper of a small sanctum like this? This was ridiculous .
So… what was their purpose?
Lin Sheng’s mind was racing . He had raised the alert of his patrols to the highest level in the city .
The security was watertight—so much so that even a mouse that wandered into the guarded zone would be shot at sight .
