"Another space, what do you mean?"

"I came here today specifically to talk to you about this matter, hence, I brought the original blueprints with me. However, I didn't understand what exactly the blueprints signified."

While speaking, Ye Chen spread out the floor plan across the table, and at a glance, the old man looked down at it.

Every brick and tile of this building was watched over by him from the start of construction, which is why he didn't even need to look at the blueprints to understand what was going on.

"Regarding the blueprints, I don't need to look at them. Can you tell me where the problematic area exactly is?"

"It's on the eastern side of the basement level two car park, and it might even be beneath this east side, possibly even a level three basement that's completely unmarked on the map."

"What, what did you say? It's that place?"

Upon saying this, the old patriarch suddenly widened his eyes in surprise, then lifted his head again to look at Ye Chen.

Ye Chen knew that his trip here had not been in vain. From the look in the old man's eyes just then, he could sense that he had probably guessed correctly.

"Are you saying that there really is a basement level three?"

"That's right, there definitely is a basement level three, and the additional northeastern section of basement level two that you mentioned is actually completely sealed off, not open at all. That entrance is located at the corner of that car park."

"Why was a basement level three created at the time? And why is there a section of basement level two sealed off?"

"At that time, there were many considerations, and it was also intended for future research applications. However, it turned out that it wasn't used much in practice, so to save space, it was fully sealed off from the very beginning and has never been opened all these years."

"How big is the area approximately?"

"If you add up the upper and lower levels, it should be around 500 square meters. Back then, we also considered making it into a private car park, even a place for helicopters, but later on, we concluded that it would be rather inconvenient. So, the place was abandoned."

"Does that mean there's genuinely a huge space inside?"

"Yes, there is a vast space. In those days, I even attempted to fill in this area, but felt that if it couldn't be filled up, the significance wouldn't be great. The car spaces on basement level one and two are already plentiful, so the basement level three was never really put into operation. It was considered a backup car park, so to speak."

"I understand, which means that all the manipulations I am contemplating now, including the controls, should come from this sealed-off space. There must be people controlling it from here, or even machines at work?"

"That shouldn't be possible. It's been completely sealed off, furthermore, very, very few people know about this."

"Therefore, I would like to seek your advice on who could possibly know about this place and how it could have been opened."

"Let me tell you the truth, there are very few people who know about this place, including me. There would absolutely not be more than three."

"How about Huang Guosheng? Does he know about this place?"

"He definitely knows about it. What, do you suspect that Huang Guosheng opened it?"

"If it was indeed Huang Guosheng who opened it and he's orchestrating everything under the table, then his performance is a bit too superb. When I just mentioned this to him, not a trace of change could be seen in his eyes, so now, I'm questioning whether it could really be him."

"What are you planning to do next?"

"Of course, I want to explore this underground space. So, if I want to thoroughly resolve this matter from its roots, then I must crack open this underground space, even go in and see exactly what kind of demons and monsters are inside and what they are doing."

"Alright, if you're going to do this, I'll send you a map. With it, you'll have a general idea of where the entrance might be located. And I'll tell you, it's truly very inconspicuous. Under normal circumstances, absolutely no one would know of it."

While speaking, he took out a piece of paper, then casually began to write and draw upon it.

Soon, a detailed little map appeared in front of Ye Chen. He took a quick look and then pocketed it.

In reality, the location of this entrance was in a very hidden safety passage, and there was even a utility shaft inside, somewhere most people absolutely couldn't access.

"Alright, I got it. If that's so, I have to act today at the latest, or tomorrow I'll take care of this matter."

"Does that mean these two matters can be completely cracked open?"

"There shouldn't be any problem. Regarding the electrical issues, we need to consult some experts. I've already arranged for someone to take care of this, and I estimate that the red water issue should be temporarily resolved by tonight."

"I still want to advise you, no matter who these people are, no matter what their purpose is, the fact that they can strategize and arrange things in this underground space means that their background is definitely not simple. Therefore, remember to proceed carefully in the dark, and more importantly, don't alert them."

"I understand, I know what to do."

"Ye Chen, you really haven't disappointed me. I'm now putting all my hopes completely on you. It seems that aside from you, nobody else can truly solve all this."

"I'm sorry, old man, but I do feel the weight of the burden on me. At the start, I didn't think the situation here was so complex, but now it seems that it isn't just Huang Guosheng, there's yet another person. Right, I've discovered someone among the senior staff files who seems connected to Huang Guosheng. I don't know if you are aware of this?"

"Are you referring to Huang Yong?"
