Lin Yuan's consciousness felt as if it were submerged in a dark mire, heavy and indistinct. He struggled to open his eyes, realizing he was bound to a cold metal chair in a dimly lit laboratory.
"Well, our little lab rat has finally woken up," Han Lingyun's voice emerged from the shadows, laced with a hint of mockery.
Lin Yuan shot his head up, spotting Han Lingyun leaning against the lab table, toying with a syringe in her hand. Behind her stood Su Jiu'er, head bowed, her expression complex.
"Su Jiu'er, why...?" Lin Yuan managed to speak, his throat dry as if scorched by fire.
Su Jiu'er lifted her gaze, a flicker of guilt crossing her features before she quickly masked it with indifference. "I'm sorry, Lin Yuan. But this is for a greater purpose."
Han Lingyun chuckled lightly. "Don't be so sad, little Lin. You should feel honored. You're about to make a significant contribution to science."
Lin Yuan glared at her coldly. "You lunatics, what do you really want?"
"What do we want?" A glint of fervor flashed in Han Lingyun's eyes. "To unveil the mysteries of Lingqi and harness its power! And you, my dear, are our best specimen."
At that moment, a shrill alarm suddenly blared. Han Lingyun's expression shifted as she hurried to the monitoring screen.
"Damn it!" she cursed. "That Zhou Haoran has escaped!"
Upon hearing this, a barely perceptible glimmer of joy crossed Su Jiu'er's face.
Han Lingyun turned to Su Jiu'er and said, "You handle that trouble. I’ll personally teach this disobedient little rat a lesson."
Su Jiu'er nodded and left the laboratory. As she passed by Lin Yuan, her fingers brushed lightly against his wrist, leaving behind a cool small object.
Lin Yuan felt a stir within but maintained an angry facade.
Han Lingyun approached Lin Yuan, gently caressing his cheek. "Don't be so upset, little Lin. Once our experiment succeeds, you'll understand that all of this is worth it."
Lin Yuan scoffed. "Do you really think you can control Lingqi? You have no idea you're playing with fire."
A flash of irritation crossed Han Lingyun's eyes. "It seems you still don't understand your situation. Very well, let my subordinates give you a proper 'welcome'."
She clapped her hands, and the laboratory door swung open with a loud bang. A dozen burly men with fierce expressions filed in, surrounding Lin Yuan completely.
"Have fun, little Lin," Han Lingyun said with a smile. "But remember not to break him; I still need him for my experiments." With that, she turned and left the laboratory.
Lin Yuan glanced around, calculating his options. These guys didn’t seem friendly; each of them radiated a powerful Spiritual Energy Fluctuation. However, he also noticed a strange emptiness in their eyes, as if they had lost their sense of self.
"It seems Han Lingyun has conducted quite a few experiments on them," Lin Yuan thought to himself.
Just then, one of the hulking men suddenly shouted and swung his fist toward Lin Yuan. Instinctively, Lin Yuan tried to dodge but realized he was firmly strapped to the chair.
"Bang!" The fist struck hard against Lin Yuan's chest, and the intense pain nearly made him lose consciousness.
"Haha, this kid is nothing special!" the burly man sneered.
Lin Yuan gritted his teeth, enduring the pain. He knew this was not the time to show weakness.
"Is that all you've got?" Lin Yuan taunted. "My grandmother hits harder than you."
The burly man fumed with rage, ready to strike again when a sharp voice interrupted, "Wait! lord Han said not to damage him!"
Following the voice, Lin Yuan saw a thin man pushing through the crowd. He held a long whip in his hand and wore a sickly excited expression on his face.
"Since we can't break him, let me 'entertain' our guest properly," the Skinny Man licked his lips, his eyes gleaming with a strange light.
A chill ran down Lin Yuan's spine; he knew things were about to get even tougher. But he had to hold on and wait for an opportunity.
At that moment, he felt the cool little object on his wrist vibrating slightly. Lin Yuan's heart leaped with joy; he recognized it as a potential escape tool left for him by Su Jiu'er.
The Skinny Man raised the whip, ready to strike down when suddenly the entire laboratory was plunged into darkness.
"What’s going on?"
"Who turned off the lights?"
"Quick, check the power!"
A flurry of voices filled the darkness. Lin Yuan knew that the opportunity had come.
He swiftly activated the Time Manipulator, and in the brief moment of Time Stopped, he used the small item left by Su Jiu'er to free himself from his restraints. When time resumed its flow, Lin Yuan had silently positioned himself in a corner of the laboratory.
"I found the power switch!" a burly man shouted.
In the next second, the laboratory was illuminated once more. But when everyone looked at the chair where Lin Yuan had been bound, they found it empty.
"Where is he?!"
"Quick, search! He must still be in the laboratory!"
Taking advantage of the chaos, Lin Yuan stealthily moved toward the exit of the laboratory. However, just as he was about to grasp the doorknob, a sharp whistling sound suddenly came from behind him.
Lin Yuan instinctively sidestepped, narrowly avoiding the attack. He turned to see Skinny Man sneering at him, a whip in his hand slicing through the air with an eerie arc.
"Trying to escape? Not so easy!" Skinny Man sneered.
Lin Yuan understood that to get out of here, he first had to deal with this troublesome foe. He took a deep breath and assumed a fighting stance.
"Come on, let me see just how strong you crazies really are," Lin Yuan said coldly.
Skinny Man's anger flared at his words, and he lashed out with his whip like a venomous snake aimed at Lin Yuan. Lin Yuan quickly activated the Time Manipulator again; in this slowed state, he could clearly see the trajectory of the whip.
He deftly dodged each strike while continuously searching for an opportunity to counterattack. He noticed that every time Skinny Man swung his whip, there was a fleeting moment of vulnerability.
"Now's my chance!" Lin Yuan thought as he charged forward during Skinny Man's moment of retraction.
With a resounding "Bang!" a powerful punch connected with Skinny Man's jaw, sending him flying back to crash against the wall, unconscious.
Seeing this, the other burly men roared and charged at Lin Yuan. He knew he couldn't take on so many at once; he could only fight while retreating, constantly looking for an escape route.
At that moment, the laboratory's door was suddenly blasted open from the outside. Lin Yuan was pleasantly surprised to see Zhou Haoran standing at the entrance, holding a uniquely designed gun.
"Lin Yuan! Come here!" Zhou Haoran shouted.
Without hesitation, Lin Yuan rolled to evade the attack from the burly man behind him and rushed toward Zhou Haoran.
Bang! Bang! Bang! The gun in Zhou Haoran's hand fired continuous beams of blue light, and the burly man hit by them immediately collapsed to the ground.
"What kind of weapon is this?" Lin Yuan asked in astonishment.
Zhou Haoran proudly waved the gun in his hand. "It's my latest invention—a tranquilizer gun specifically designed for high Lingqi physique targets."
As the two fought, they began to retreat toward the base's exit. However, just as they were about to escape, a cold voice suddenly echoed behind them:
"Thinking of running away? It's not that easy!"
Lin Yuan and Zhou Haoran turned back simultaneously to see Han Lingyun standing at the end of the corridor, wielding a long sword that shimmered with an eerie light. Behind her stood a dozen experts dressed in black, each radiating a powerful Spiritual Energy Fluctuation.
"Lin Yuan, you truly disappoint me," Han Lingyun sneered. "Since you refuse to obediently be my little guinea pig, don't blame me for being ruthless."
Lin Yuan and Zhou Haoran exchanged a glance, both seeing determination in each other's eyes. They knew that the real battle was just beginning.
