System vs Rebirth

"All these are the workers of the building?" Noel gasped and took a step back, looking around once again. When he thought about it, there were a few people who didn't have the mutation on their faces.

As he predicted, their features were extremely similar to the real humans on the other side of the room. In other words, they conducted their experiments on themselves.

"What is going on here?" Noel furrowed his eyebrows. He never thought that these people would be so indifferent and ruthless.

The reason why these demi-humans showed such anger toward these humans was because of this.

"But there is one more concerning problem…" Noel had noticed one most important matter. "The fact that all of them are staying here means they have been gathered by a certain person."

That was the only explanation for why all these people would even come here. However, when he turned his head around to the location of the blue jade, he didn't find any trace of humans. In other words, there was no one who gathered them to freeze them.

It was most likely that this person actually froze everyone on all those floors and brought them all here.

"That's right. This is the only possibility. It's quite hard to gather every single one of them in this place. So, he must have done it one by one. After he succeeded, he must have stolen all the secret books and records about the experiment before running away from this place."

"If this is the case, then that person must have gone somewhere. But whether it was fortunate or unfortunate, there didn't seem to have any change around the four kingdoms. This place was built one thousand years ago, so there should be a leak somewhere in time. There was no way a place could hide its secret for a thousand years if we are realistically speaking."

"Then, does that mean the one who did steal these records was actually a demi-human?" Noel couldn't see any other culprits where the information didn't leak. There was also a chance that it was a human and he died in an unknown place, guarding that secret with his death.

However, that didn't matter to him for the time being. The problem was that this person left behind this blue jade in this place.

"If my theory is correct, the moment Heisk absorbs this jade, the ice will gradually melt." Noel was considering the repercussions of his action.

Since that person froze the people from each floor and there was no trace of it being frozen anymore, it was clear that the ice would melt when the jade disappeared from this place.

Noel frowned. "If I take this jade, what will happen to the bodies that have been freed from the ice?"

On the one hand, he had made sure that taking the jade was possible without any traps the previous civilization had. On the other hand, he encountered another problem that couldn't be tread lightly.
