After a series of urgent knocks, Zhou Haoran burst into the rental apartment, drenched in sweat, clutching a crumpled note tightly in his hand. His expression was frantic, as if he had just escaped from the gates of hell. Anyone unaware of the situation might think he had stumbled into a den of spider spirits and was being chased.
“Something big has happened! Lin Yuan, Su Jiu'er, I just received news that the Qi Gong Association is making a major move tonight! The commotion is so intense that anyone who doesn’t know might think the apocalypse is upon us!” Zhou Haoran gasped, nearly tripping over his own tongue as he shakily handed the pale note to Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan took the note and saw that it was hastily scrawled with a few words: “Lingyu Experiment, launching tonight, suburban base.” The handwriting looked like it had been scratched out by a chicken’s claw, making Lin Yuan want to crumple the note and stuff it up Zhou Haoran's nose.
“Lingyu Experiment launching tonight? These guys are really eager to stir things up,” Lin Yuan said, exchanging a glance with Su Jiu'er. They both saw shock and a hint of excitement in each other's eyes, as if they had discovered a new continent.
“It seems our plans need to be moved up,” Su Jiu'er said firmly, her tone leaving no room for doubt, like a general preparing for battle. “Tonight, we must infiltrate the Experimental Base and stop this conspiracy! No matter the dangers we face, I will not back down!”
As night fell over the deep mountains in the suburbs, the Qi Gong Association's secret Experimental Base was ablaze with lights, resembling a massive beast lurking in the darkness, exuding an eerie glow. The towering walls were lined with countless surveillance cameras and infrared detectors, heavily guarded and seemingly more impenetrable than iron walls. Anyone unaware would think this was an alien secret base.
Lin Yuan and Su Jiu'er, dressed in dark clothing, lay hidden in the trees surrounding the base, observing their surroundings like two leopards waiting to pounce. The trees were tall and dense, blocking out most of the moonlight except for scattered patches that fell on the ground, creating dappled shadows.
“This security system is even tighter than I imagined. If we try to force our way in, we’ll probably end up as Swiss cheese before we even reach the wall,” Lin Yuan mused, stroking his chin with a furrowed brow as he contemplated how to breach these defenses.
“Don’t worry; I have my own tricks up my sleeve,” Su Jiu'er replied as she pulled out a small device from her backpack and handed it to Lin Yuan. The device resembled a high-tech lighter. “This is an Interference Device I developed based on Ancient Texts; it can temporarily disable surveillance and infrared detection. This is my secret weapon; I don’t share it with just anyone.”
Lin Yuan took the Interference Device and pressed the switch. It emitted a faint buzzing sound like a mosquito buzzing around his ear. At that moment, the surrounding cameras and infrared detectors became inactive as if they had been paralyzed.
“Impressive! Miss Su, this gadget works better than my joy juice! If we ever hit a bank vault together, you’d make us rich!” Lin Yuan joked with a teasing tone.
Su Jiu'er shot him an annoyed glance and retorted sharply, “Stop joking around and let’s move! If we miss this opportunity, all our efforts will be in vain!”
Under the cover of night, the two quietly approached the base's walls like ghosts drifting through darkness.
“There’s a mechanism here.” Su Jiu'er pointed to an inconspicuous stone slab at the bottom of the surrounding wall, her tone laced with seriousness. “According to my knowledge of archaeology, this should be an ancient defensive mechanism. Once triggered, it will release toxic gas. This thing can be deadly!”
Lin Yuan activated his Gazing Ability and indeed sensed a faint Spiritual Energy Fluctuation around the stone slab, like a wisp of blue smoke drifting in the air, clearly indicating some sort of Mechanism Trap.
“Let me handle this. Such child’s play is no challenge for me.” Su Jiu'er crouched down, carefully examining the patterns on the stone slab as if she were an expert cracking a code. Then she pulled out a set of tools from her backpack and began to work with practiced ease, her movements fluid and seamless.
With a soft click, the stone slab slowly shifted aside, revealing a passage barely wide enough for one person to squeeze through, like a door leading to another world.
“Let’s go, stay close and don’t fall behind.” Su Jiu'er was the first to slip into the opening, her figure vanishing into the darkness.
Lin Yuan followed closely behind, and the two successfully entered the interior of the base, akin to two mice scurrying into a grain warehouse.
Inside the base was a vast underground space filled with flickering lights and the buzzing of machines, resembling a massive factory. Numerous Guard robots patrolled the corridors, moving back and forth while emitting sounds of metal grinding against metal. Laser security grids crisscrossed like deadly traps, flashing ominously in red light that sent chills down one’s spine.
“Be careful; these Guard robots are equipped with firearms. If they lock onto us, it won’t be a joke,” Su Jiu'er warned, her voice tinged with concern.
Lin Yuan activated his Gazing Ability again to anticipate the scanning trajectory of the laser security grids and guided Su Jiu'er to deftly avoid them, creating a thrilling infiltration scene as if they were playing a real-life escape room.
“Left! Quick! There’s a blind spot in the surveillance!” Lin Yuan urged sharply, pulling Su Jiu'er aside just in time to dodge a Laser Beam; their movements were clean and decisive.
“Right! Duck! The laser is coming!” Su Jiu'er echoed his warning. The two worked in perfect harmony, gliding through the base like ghosts while evading various Mechanism Traps, much like two mice navigating through a maze.
Suddenly, an urgent alarm blared, and red warning lights flashed wildly as if on fire, plunging the entire base into chaos.
“This is bad; we’ve triggered the alarm! Looks like we need to pick up the pace!” Su Jiu'er’s expression changed as she spoke with urgency.
"Damn it, where did things go wrong? Is that cursed Interference Device malfunctioning?" Lin Yuan cursed under his breath, feeling a sense of dread. The two were forced to race against time, searching for a hidden passage into the Core Area, like two rabbits being hunted by a predator.
A swarm of Guard robots surged from all directions, surrounding them completely, much like a pack of hungry wolves eyeing their prey.
"It looks like we have no choice but to charge through! Let's show these metal clumps what we're made of!" A fierce glint flashed in Lin Yuan's eyes as he summoned his Lingqi, preparing for battle like a warrior ready to step onto the battlefield.
Just then, Su Jiu'er suddenly pointed at a Ventilation Duct above them and exclaimed, "Lin Yuan, look! We might be able to escape through there!"
Lin Yuan looked up and saw an inconspicuous control panel at the entrance of the Ventilation Duct, resembling a hidden treasure.
"Great idea! This truly is a stroke of luck!" Lin Yuan immediately understood Su Jiu'er's intention. The two quickly climbed into the Ventilation Duct, successfully avoiding detection and sneaking into the Core Laboratory, like two mice scurrying into a hole.
As they infiltrated the Core Laboratory, they stumbled upon some fragmented experimental records and research reports that hinted at the dangers of the experiments and the sinister motives of the Qi Gong Association, laying the groundwork for what was to come.
The door to the Core Laboratory was tightly shut, flashing red warning lights indicating a high-security status.
"What do we do? That door looks really sturdy," Su Jiu'er asked, her voice tinged with concern.
Lin Yuan took a deep breath, his gaze resolute. "We'll break it down! Today, we will unveil this mysterious veil!"
With that, he slammed his fist against the door with all his might, and it burst open with a thunderous crash...
