The piercing alarm blared, like a thousand ducks quacking in unison, sharply tearing through the silence of the laboratory.
The red warning lights flashed wildly, resembling the neon lights of a nightclub, dazzling Lin Yuan to the point where he felt stars dancing before his eyes.
"What the hell! What's going on? Old Wang's Invisibility Cloak must be a knockoff!" Lin Yuan cursed under his breath, mentally cursing Wang Tianyu and his ancestors for generations. This thing had failed him at a critical moment; it was worse than having a useless teammate!
The surveillance screens on the wall were currently broadcasting his "spectacular performance," in high definition and 360-degree surround view, clearer than any Live Stream from the Spring Festival Gala. The scene was nothing short of a public humiliation on a grand scale! Lin Yuan could even see the look of terror on his own face and the beads of sweat forming on his forehead.
"Great, now everyone in the country knows about it." Lin Yuan felt like crying without tears, as if he were a monkey in a zoo being gawked at. If this got out, how would he ever survive in the underworld again?
A group of guards in black uniforms stormed in, brandishing Laser Guns and electric batons, looking like a pack of hungry wolves spotting their prey. Each one wore a serious expression, their eyes fierce, as if they were ready to tear Lin Yuan to shreds at any moment.
"Stop! Don't move!" shouted a burly Captain of the Guards, pointing at Lin Yuan with a voice that boomed like thunder, making his eardrums ring. Saliva sprayed onto Lin Yuan, nearly knocking him out from the stench.
"Big brother, let's talk this out calmly. No need to be impulsive," Lin Yuan raised his hands, plastering a smile on his face while calculating an escape route in his mind. The best strategy was to run!
"Less nonsense! Who are you to dare trespass into the Core Laboratory?" The Captain of the Guards advanced step by step, his electric baton crackling with dangerous blue light. To Lin Yuan, that blue glow looked like the scythe of death, radiating an ominous aura.
"I... I'm just a delivery guy who took a wrong turn," Lin Yuan quickly improvised, rolling his eyes. He knew this excuse sounded ridiculous, but it was better than saying nothing at all.
"A delivery guy? Do you think I'm stupid? This is a secret Experimental Base! Have you ever seen a delivery guy bringing food to a secret base?" The Captain of the Guards roared, raising his electric baton as if about to strike. This big guy was not easy to fool!
"Hey, hey, hey! Don't do anything rash! I really am just delivering food! You can check!" Lin Yuan hurriedly pulled out a crumpled takeout order from his pocket, which clearly read “Huang Men Ji Mi Fan, extra spicy.” He had saved it from lunch and never expected it would come in handy now.
The Captain of the Guards paused for a moment, suspiciously taking the takeout order and examining it closely. He squinted as if trying to see through the paper.
"This..." He scratched his head, momentarily at a loss for words. The takeout order did look somewhat legitimate after all.
Taking advantage of the distraction of the Captain of the Guards, Lin Yuan swiftly slipped away and darted into the ventilation duct of the laboratory, disappearing like a nimble loach. The duct was narrow and filthy, but it was his only escape route.
“Chase him! Don’t let him get away!” The Captain of the Guards shouted in frustration as he realized he had been tricked by a takeout order.
The guards rushed after him, causing chaos in the laboratory as everything turned into a frenzy. These guys were relentless!
Lin Yuan crawled through the ventilation duct like a rat in a sewer. The space was cramped and dirty, filled with a nauseating musty smell that was even worse than Old Wang's feet!
“Old Wang, you’ve doomed me!” Lin Yuan cursed under his breath as he crawled. Of all times for this cursed Invisibility Cloak to malfunction, it had to be now!
Suddenly, a laser grid appeared ahead, densely packed and flickering with red light, blocking his path like a deadly web. If he touched it, he would surely end up as roasted pig!
“Damn! This is too extreme!” Lin Yuan gasped, quickly halting his progress. The laboratory's defense system was truly insane!
At that moment, a cold voice echoed through the intercom: “Intruder has entered the ventilation system. Activating Level B defense protocol!” It sounded like Nan Gong Xuan’s voice; she just wouldn’t let up!
The laser grid began to contract, speeding up like a massive spider web ready to ensnare him. If he got caught, it would be game over!
“This is it! I’m done for!” Lin Yuan despaired and shut his eyes. Was he really going to meet his end here today?
In a critical moment, Lin Yuan’s Gazing Ability suddenly surged forth. He clearly sensed the energy flow of the laser grid and found a tiny gap. This gap was only palm-sized, but it was his only chance at survival!
Taking a deep breath and holding it in, he slithered through the gap like a flexible snake at an incredible angle. The maneuver was as challenging as that of an Olympic gymnastics champion!
“Phew! That was close!” Lin Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, feeling as though he had just walked through the gates of hell. That laser grid had been exhilarating!
He continued to crawl forward when suddenly, a massive fan appeared ahead, spinning at high speed and emitting a deafening roar. If he were to get sucked into that fan, he would surely end up as meat sauce!
"This... this is going to turn me into meat sauce!" Lin Yuan exclaimed, terrified. The designer of this laboratory was definitely a psychopath!
Nan Gong Xuan's figure appeared on the surveillance screen, a cold smile curling at the corners of her mouth. "Lin Yuan, you can't escape!" This woman was truly full of herself!
Lin Yuan stared at the rapidly spinning fan, despair filling his heart. Was he really going to meet his end here?
Just then, a spark of inspiration struck Lin Yuan. He thought of a crazy plan. He pulled a coin from his pocket, took a deep breath, aimed for the center of the fan, and hurled it with all his might.
The coin struck the center bearing of the fan with a crisp sound. It was as if the coin was a bullet, hitting its target with precision!
The fan's rotation slowed instantly and finally came to a halt. The effect was even more shocking than any movie special effect!
Seizing the opportunity, Lin Yuan leaped over and successfully escaped the clutches of the fan. His move was nothing short of spectacular!
"How... how is this possible?" Nan Gong Xuan stared incredulously at the surveillance screen, her eyes filled with shock. She never expected Lin Yuan to escape this predicament!
Lin Yuan had narrowly escaped death, but he knew this was just the beginning.
Nan Gong Xuan would not let him off easily; an even more intense chase was about to unfold…
