“Time-Space Manipulation, activate!”
Lin Yuan shouted, and a surge of Lingqi enveloped him like a thin layer of golden aura. Time seemed to freeze at that moment; the staff in the monitoring room wore expressions of terror, frozen in place like lifelike wax figures. Even the dust floating down hung suspended in mid-air, creating a bizarre tableau of stillness.
Nan Gong Xuan stared in disbelief, his eyes nearly popping out of his head. He felt as if an invisible hand had him firmly gripped, rendering him immobile; even blinking was a struggle. “How… how is this possible?! What kind of sorcery is this?!” he stammered, his voice sounding jarringly loud in the still air.
Lin Yuan had no time to address Nan Gong Xuan's shock. Like a gust of wind, he swept past the control panel, his fingers flying over the keyboard as he deftly dismantled the monitoring equipment. Once finished, he leisurely released the time pause.
The world resumed its flow, and almost instantly, a piercing alarm blared throughout the Experimental Base, sharp enough to pierce eardrums. “Wah wah wah—” The sound was more maddening than a school’s morning bell, sending chills down spines. The ground began to shake violently as if some colossal beast were stirring beneath it; various instruments flashed glaring red lights and emitted sharp beeping noises, resembling a panicked flock of electronic chickens protesting en masse.
“What’s going on?!” Lin Yuan thought to himself, realizing that the commotion was far greater than he had anticipated; it felt as if the entire base were about to explode. He couldn’t help but mutter under his breath, “What is Nan Gong Xuan doing? It’s just activating a portal; does it need to be this dramatic?”
Before he could process it further, the laboratory door burst open with an explosion, wood splinters and metal shards flying everywhere like a grand fireworks display. A powerful Spiritual Energy Fluctuation swept through, knocking Lin Yuan to the ground. “Ouch!” he exclaimed as he landed awkwardly, getting up covered in dust and feeling like his backside had been crushed.
As he brushed off the dirt and surveyed his surroundings, the laboratory looked like a scene from the apocalypse—utter chaos reigned. Instrument fragments littered the floor, wires sparked dangerously, and a burnt smell filled the air. The Experiment Subjects had broken free from their restraints, emitting bone-chilling howls like a horde of zombies starved for three days; the scene was utterly chaotic.
These Experiment Subjects had once been cute little animals—white mice, rabbits, kittens—but under the influence of the Spiritual Energy Disturbance, they had undergone horrifying mutations. Each one had swollen in size several times over, their features grotesque and aggressive. The once docile little rabbit now resembled a small calf, its eyes blood-red and fangs bared—a true Rabbit Demon King.
One mutated rabbit, now as large as an adult wild boar with blood-red eyes fixed on Lin Yuan, lunged at him with razor-sharp teeth glinting menacingly. It kicked off with its powerful hind legs like a cannonball aimed straight at him. “What the hell?! The rabbit has turned into a demon?!” Lin Yuan quickly rolled away just in time to evade this deadly strike. The rabbit’s speed was astonishing; it was almost upon him in the blink of an eye, the gust from its charge stinging his face.
“Time-Space Manipulation!” Lin Yuan activated his Golden Finger once more, freezing time again. The world fell silent once more; the Mutated Rabbit hung mid-air in its attacking pose like a ridiculous statue.
Seizing this opportunity to analyze the situation, Lin Yuan realized that this Spiritual Energy Disturbance was far more severe than he had imagined. He needed to find an escape route quickly while also figuring out how to prevent this disaster. Rubbing his chin with a furrowed brow, he thought to himself: “This situation is even more intense than when I got surrounded by four burly guys while playing ‘PUBG’! I need to come up with a way out fast.”
He quickly contacted Su Jiu'er. "Jiu'er, something happened at the Experimental Base. There's a Spiritual Energy Disturbance, and I need support! Hurry!"
A worried voice came through the communicator. "Lin Yuan, what's the situation on your end? Are you hurt? I'll send someone right away!"
"Zzzz... The signal here... is bad... just hang in there! Zzzz..." Lin Yuan finished speaking and cut off the communication. He knew this wasn't the time for idle chatter; he had to focus on escaping.
He released the time pause, and the Mutated Rabbit lunged at him again. Lin Yuan sidestepped and kicked it away. With a thud, the rabbit slammed against the wall and slid down, unable to get back up for a while.
"This thing is quite a nuisance," Lin Yuan muttered. He knew he couldn't afford to linger; he had to find a way to shut down the portal quickly. Like an agile monkey, he darted around the laboratory, dodging attacks from the Experiment Subjects while searching for an escape route and observing the Spiritual Energy Concentration near the portal for clues on how to close it.
During his escape, he noticed that the Spiritual Energy Concentration near the portal was abnormally high, exhibiting a strange fluctuation that bubbled like boiling water. This made him realize that the portal's activation was not merely due to Lingqi release but rather an invasion of some unknown force.
"Could it be an energy invasion from a parallel world?" Lin Yuan was startled. He understood the gravity of the situation; he had to stop the portal from opening further, or the consequences would be dire.
Using his Time Manipulator, he created a brief temporal distortion that left the Experiment Subjects disoriented and attacking each other, buying himself some time. "Heh heh, playing with Time-Space Distortion is still too advanced for you!" Lin Yuan thought gleefully.
"Material Decomposition!" Lin Yuan decomposed a mutated rat that lunged at him into Lingqi, replenishing his energy. The rat burst into a puff of light blue Lingqi, which Lin Yuan absorbed into his body. Although this ability was powerful, it drained him significantly; his mental and physical strength plummeted, leaving him feeling hollow.
At that moment, Nan Gong Xuan's voice crackled through the communicator, laced with manic glee. "Lin Yuan, do you think you can stop me? The Spiritual Energy Disturbance is just the beginning! I will open the portal to the parallel world and bring forth even greater power! Just wait to be consumed! Hahahaha!"
"Nan Gong Xuan, you madman!" Lin Yuan gritted his teeth. He realized that Nan Gong Xuan had completely lost his mind and needed to be stopped immediately.
In a critical moment, Lin Yuan discovered a hidden emergency shutdown device, but it required a massive amount of Lingqi to activate. The device was tucked away in an inconspicuous corner, covered in dust; it would have been easy to overlook if not for his keen observation.
"Let's go for it!" Lin Yuan decisively poured all of his remaining Spiritual Energy into the device. It emitted a dazzling light, and the passage began to slowly close. The buzzing sound gradually diminished as the entrance shrank, ultimately vanishing from sight.
However, the Spiritual Energy Disturbance did not completely cease; the Experiment Subjects continued to attack Lin Yuan frantically, as if they were venting all the frustration they had accumulated before.
Just when Lin Yuan was about to collapse, the passage finally closed completely, and the Spiritual Energy Disturbance began to subside. One by one, the Experiment Subjects returned to their original states, becoming docile and endearing, as if nothing had ever happened.
"Ah... finally it's over..." Lin Yuan slumped to the ground, feeling utterly drained, as if he had just run a marathon. But he knew this was only a temporary calm; a greater crisis loomed ahead.
The conspiracy of Nan Gong Xuan and the invasion from parallel worlds all hinted that a much larger storm was about to arrive…
