Chapter 617
Wynter’s gaze followed the marks which abruptly halted at the corner of the wall.
“These marks are odd,” she remarked while tapping the ground lightly with her left hand. Suddenly, she heard a hollow sound.
The place beneath was hollow!
“Master, what is it?” Leo asked in puzzlement.
Wynter found the mechanism and explained, “It’s a hidden chamber.”
A hidden chamber?
Just as Leo was pondering. Wynter noticed several books on the shelf. She adjusted them back and forth according to the marks. When the final book was in place, a click was heard.
The wooden floor revealed an opening. A chilly gust of air emanated from the hidden space.
Wynter wasted no time lifting the wooden panel and gestured for Leo and Gabby to enter first.
It was crucial to secure the parameters as this was the heart of the formation. Even if one tried to conceal the location, it was almost impossible for the scent to dissipate.
The retreat path for the Earthbound Formation was important. As places like this couldn’t be locked, Wynter deliberately left a lucky coin outside.
However, she failed to notice that a wooden puppet was stuck behind the bookshelf.
The puppet looked very similar to a certain person!
Unlike other formations, the resentment seemed less intense as one approached the heart. It almost seemed as though the resentment had disappeared. This made it all too easy to overlook the finer details.
Once the wooden panel was lifted, the trio uncovered a wooden door, behind which lay a spiral ladder.
It took a long time for them to climb down the winding ladder. Leo descended first, followed by Gabby,
and then Wynter.
After their descent, the trio realized this wasn’t a hidden compartment. The space was expansive, and the temperature was chilly. Furthermore, the place was filled with an array of medical equipment.
Wynter’s eyes narrowed as she walked forward. She halted abruptly at the sound of approaching voices. Three to four individuals in lab coats and masks seemed to be in search of a missing person.
“What happened to No. 106?”
“I’m not sure. Her door is always open. I don’t know where she went.”
“Where could she have gone after the injection? Search carefully.”
Wynter lowered her gaze when she noticed a reaction from the yellow duck. Nixon must be nearby.

Next, Wynter strode off in the opposite direction and swiftly grabbed a lab coat from a person walking by. With a quick motion, she silenced the woman before she could notify her co–workers.
Wynter assumed the identity of the person she knocked out. Just then, a co–worker grasped her hand as. they moved along.
“Why are you here? No. 106 has been found. She’s on the third basement level.”
After signaling Leo to look after Gabby, Wynter followed the rest to the lower floor.
Her ability to speak fluent Foplyanese and knowledge of medical equipment allowed her to blend in successfully. As a result, she discovered the Foplyans‘ true intentions.
They weren’t building a school but were setting up a medical research institute!
The small cages held animals like rabbits and mice, while larger ones contained the missing children. The Foplyans were using them as subjects of inhuman experiments.
Wynter seethed with anger. She wanted to eradicate the scumbags wearing the lab coats, but she knew it wouldn’t break the formation. Hence, she followed them into a cage.
Inside, Lily lay on the ground, barely conscious and limp. She had been captured once again, and they
were now assessing her physical condition.
One of the researchers mocked, “Haha! This idiot is so stubborn. The data we’ve obtained this time is
quite good. She’s still holding on.”
