After a night of sailing, Jenny and her team finally arrived in the waters near Demon Island.
"Professor, we're almost there."
The female assistant gently knocked on the door, her voice tinged with urgency.
Jenny sat in the cabin, focused on the video playing on the screen in front of her. Hearing the assistant's voice, she slightly raised her head and curved her lips into a smile that exuded a sense of strategic confidence.
"Got it. You go ahead and arrange for two teams to join us on the island shortly."
"Understood." The assistant turned and left.
Jenny looked at the teacup in her hand, gently swirling it, causing ripples to form in the tea.
On the deck, Jenny and her companions could see flames burning on the island through the telescope mode of the optical brain.
Hmm?
Jenny furrowed her brows slightly, a wave of confusion washing over her. What was happening? Was the mission not going smoothly?
She turned and commanded decisively, "Accelerate forward!"
As soon as the ship docked, Jenny eagerly jumped down with two teams of personnel.
Dressed in a sharp black uniform, every edge perfectly pressed, her hair neatly tied back without a strand out of place, her delicate features were now serious, resembling a general about to embark on a campaign.
Upon reaching the island and following the direction of the flames, Jenny quickly spotted three people who had remained behind.
Upon seeing the rescue team arrive, tears of excitement welled up in the eyes of the three.
"You finally made it!" they exclaimed in unison, their voices filled with anticipation and joy.
Scanning the area, they noticed the absence of Xu Qingyuan. Jenny immediately asked, "What happened? Why are there only a few of you here? Where is Professor Xu?"
After exchanging glances, one person hurried forward, their face etched with anxiety, reporting, "Professor Jenny, Professor Xu is missing."
Jenny's expression darkened instantly, her brows furrowing. "What happened?"
The three quickly shared their findings and speculations with Jenny.
Xu Qingyuan had gone missing early this morning, and it had only been three to four hours since the incident; the fact that no body had been found was somewhat reassuring.
After listening, Jenny showed no hesitation and immediately led a group of personnel toward the dry well, leaving a team behind to tend to the injured.
"Lolita, you and these medics stay here to take care of the injured. If anything tricky comes up, contact me right away," Jenny said, turning to Lolita, who was dressed in a tight black uniform.
"Understood, Professor," Lolita nodded, her gaze resolute.
She was the assistant who had always been by Jenny's side.
Throughout the journey, Jenny urged everyone to pick up the pace while she herself moved swiftly.
Her steps were firm and powerful, each one seeming to resonate with a tense rhythm.
Jenny and her group did not have Bai Qi to lead the way, but that did not hinder her from keeping up with the pace of those three fools.
Just in case, she first sent a message to He Shuo and the others, asking them to stand by.
"Everyone, hurry up! We need to find Professor Xu as soon as possible," Jenny said loudly while walking briskly.
Under her leadership, the group moved swiftly through the island's jungle like running cheetahs.
...
Yang Luo and Bai Qi had already received the message, and an awkward expression appeared on their faces as they exchanged glances.
He Shuo had already gone down.
Yang Luo leaned over the edge of the well, his body slightly forward, and shouted, "He Shuo, have you found anything down there?"
His voice echoed around the well for a long time, but there was no response, only the sound of his own voice swirling at the bottom of the well before gradually fading away.
"This is bad; something has happened."
Bai Qi quickly leaned over the edge of the well, shining the light from his optical brain down into it.
The well was pitch black, and the slightly dirty water emitted a strong earthy smell.
The odor hit Bai Qi's face, causing him to wrinkle his nose involuntarily.
Looking around anxiously, the only thing floating on the water's surface was the previous bucket; He Shuo had long since vanished.
"He Shuo is gone," Bai Qi said urgently, a hint of panic in his voice.
"What?"
Yang Luo exclaimed, his eyes widening in shock as he hurriedly prepared to lean down.
The two of them positioned themselves at the edge of the well, bending over and peering in with half their bodies inside.
"No way, such a big person just disappeared?"
Yang Luo widened his eyes, trying to see into the well with the faint light, disbelief written all over his face. "Even if something happened, he was so close to us; he should have heard us if we called out!"
Bai Qi shook his head slightly and after a moment of thought said, "He must have discovered something and went to explore it first."
"Go check ahead?"
Yang Luo's head felt light with blood rushing to it, his emotions getting the better of him. "It's dirty, messy, and dark down there. What clues could we possibly find? Besides, didn't Professor Jenny just message us to stay put until she arrives? Didn't He Shuo receive the message?"
As soon as he said this, Bai Qi and Yang Luo suddenly realized that if Professor Jenny had sent messages to all three of them, then He Shuo should have received it too and come back up. Why was he still exploring?
Realizing something was off, Bai Qi and Yang Luo both quickly raised their heads, only to be met with...
"Bang~"
The two heads collided due to their urgency, producing a loud sound.
Yang Luo only felt a ringing in his head, as if he had suffered a concussion.
His vision blurred for a moment.
"Why did you raise your head so abruptly, Bai Qi?" Yang Luo complained painfully while holding his head.
Bai Qi also held his head and retorted, "Abruptly? It's not my fault! Why are you being unreasonable, Yang Luo?"
When Jenny arrived, she found Bai Qi and Yang Luo sitting at the edge of the well, both holding their heads and still blaming each other.
"What are you two doing?" a stern female voice came from behind.
The two looked up to see a tall woman walking confidently ahead, her steps firm and authoritative.
Behind her were several rescue team members from the research institute.
"Is that Professor Jenny?" Yang Luo said dumbfoundedly, a hint of surprise in his voice.
He was originally an employee of the Federation, but due to his low rank, he had never been entrusted with important tasks. He was unsure why his usually unfriendly superior had assigned him to this mission.
At first, Yang Luo thought the superior was afraid of the S Class Test Subject, but now it seemed that this mission was far more complicated than he had imagined.
Everything that had happened along the way indicated that this escort mission would be anything but ordinary.
As they sailed into the Forbidden Sea Zone, everything went off course.
Yet he was still certain that the issues with the autopilot mode were impossible; he had checked every safety hazard on the ship before this voyage. Someone must have tampered with it.
Now, the appearance of Jenny confirmed his suspicions.
As one of the three power holders of the Glacial Era Pacific Headquarters, she was the only one in the global public eye, boasting nearly three hundred million fans on StarNet due to her outstanding looks and witty conversations.
It was strange for someone with her glamorous status to come here in person, Yang Luo thought.
Jenny frowned as she looked at the two of them and said, "Where is He Shuo? Didn't I tell you to stay put?"
Yang Luo and Bai Qi quickly stood up, feeling a bit awkward as they replied, "Professor Jenny, He Shuo... he disappeared after going down into the well."
Upon hearing this, Jenny's expression grew more serious. She walked to the edge of the well and looked down into the darkness, unable to see anything.
"Prepare the ropes; we need to go down and take a look," Jenny said decisively.
The rescue team behind her immediately sprang into action, getting ready with the tools for descending into the well.
Then Jenny turned to Yang Luo and Bai Qi and said, "You two, tell me exactly what happened."
