The sound of sirens grew closer, and the red and blue flashing lights tore through the night sky. Lin Yuan led the group, leaping into the darkness, leaving behind the chaotic factory and the unconscious Nan Gong Xuan, like a scene from an absurd dream.
"Phew, that was close! My titanium alloy glasses nearly bent!" Zhou Haoran adjusted his glasses that were almost slipping off, gesturing dramatically as if he had just escaped a disaster. "I feel like my adrenaline could light a cigarette! If this were ancient times, it would be a classic tale of scaling rooftops and sneaking into the palace at night!"
Lin Yuan chuckled, patting Zhou Haoran on the shoulder, his tone as relaxed as if he had just returned from a stroll in the park. "What’s there to be afraid of? I have the 'Time-Space VIP Membership' service; I’m not worried about the police! Besides, with our skills, even if we get caught, we can perform a little teleportation to give them a scare!"
Su Jiu'er shot him a glare and said impatiently, "Stop joking around; this isn’t the time for stand-up comedy. We need to think about how to infiltrate the Experimental Base. That place is heavily guarded, harder to breach than a steel barrel."
"Heh, who walks through the front door like a decent person?" Lin Yuan winked mysteriously and pulled out a crumpled map with suspicious grease stains from his pocket, proudly unfolding it before everyone. "Behold! The secret passage! A VIP exclusive entrance that leads straight to our destination—safe and quick, no tricks!"
The map displayed a winding route resembling a drunken earthworm, marking the secret entrance to the Experimental Base.
At two in the morning, outside the Experimental Base. A high-tech security system tightly guarded this steel fortress. Laser barriers intertwined to form a deadly web, glowing with an eerie blue light like something out of a sci-fi movie. Surveillance cameras scanned everything around them like hawks, missing no detail. Automated defense turrets stood ready, their dark barrels exuding a chilling aura of menace.
Zhou Haoran stared at the scene before him and couldn’t help but gasp in shock; his lenses instantly fogged up. "This... this is too exaggerated! This isn’t just an Experimental Base; it’s practically an interstellar fortress from a sci-fi film! Charging in with just us is like delivering ourselves as sacrifices!"
Lin Yuan patted his shoulder reassuringly. "Don’t worry! I have the 'Time-Space Delivery' service; I guarantee your safety is more secure than your grandma’s egg pancakes!"
With that, Lin Yuan took a deep breath and activated the Time Manipulator. With a hum, time around them seemed to freeze—the glow of the laser barriers hung suspended in mid-air, surveillance cameras halted their rotations, and automated turrets froze with their barrels pointed skyward; everything was motionless as if under a spell.
"Alright, now it’s our time to shine! Lights ready? Sound ready? Actors ready? Action!" Lin Yuan snapped his fingers and led his team through the still world like ghosts, moving lightly without making a sound.
As time resumed its flow, the laser barriers flickered back to life, surveillance cameras began rotating again, and automated turrets returned to standby mode. But Lin Yuan and his group had long vanished without a trace, leaving behind an empty space and a gentle breeze as if they had never been there at all.
In the monitoring room, a staff member was idly gnawing on a chicken leg when suddenly, a surge of energy fluctuations appeared on the screen. Startled, he dropped the chicken leg and exclaimed, "Report! Abnormal energy fluctuations detected at the perimeter of the base, suspected intrusion! Moreover... their speed exceeds the speed of light! How is this possible?"
Nan Gong Xuan was remotely monitoring the situation at the base, his face dark enough to drip ink. "Damn it! They actually slipped past us! These guys just won't quit!"
"Activate the Vajra Demon Suppression Circle!" Nan Gong Xuan shouted, his voice filled with murderous intent. "I want them to come and go without return! Let them taste the power of the Vajra Demon Suppression!"
In the center of the base, a massive formation suddenly lit up, radiating golden light and resonating with sacred sounds, enveloping the entire base in a glow. Within the formation, images of fierce Vajras appeared, showcasing their might against demons, as a powerful pressure spread throughout.
"Child's play," Lin Yuan scoffed, rolling his eyes. He pulled out a bottle of soda and gulped down a few swigs before burping loudly and tossing the empty bottle into the formation's center. "Sorry, just borrowing your formation for a bit. I'll even upgrade it with some 'Soda Buff'! Hope the upgraded formation can add more cumin and chili powder for an even better flavor!"
At the formation's center, the empty bottle collided with the array, producing sizzling sounds as golden light flickered. To everyone's shock, the formation began to twist and contort like dough being kneaded before collapsing with a thunderous crash, scattering golden light into the air.
In the monitoring room, the staff member stared in disbelief at this scene, oblivious to the chicken bone that had fallen from his hand. "How... how is this possible?! The Vajra Demon Suppression Circle... was actually broken by a bottle of soda? This... this is utterly ridiculous!"
Nan Gong Xuan watched in disbelief as everything unfolded before him, his face pale and lips trembling. "Who... who is he?! Could he... could he be the legendary Soda God?"
Lin Yuan, along with his team members, charged through to the core area of the base with unstoppable momentum. The defensive systems and disciples of the Qi Gong Association crumbled like paper before Lin Yuan's Time Manipulator. Some were frozen mid-attack in mid-air while others were toyed with by Lin Yuan, who made them slip on banana peels or swatted them away with a fly swatter.
"Nan Gong Xuan, I'm personally delivering your order for 'Parallel World Spiritual Energy Delivery!' I hope you give me a five-star review once you receive it!" Lin Yuan said with a smile as he watched Nan Gong Xuan operating a complex device.
Nan Gong Xuan's face turned ashen as he gritted his teeth. "You... you dare ruin my plans! You are utterly unforgivable!"
"All's fair in love and war!" Lin Yuan shrugged innocently. "Besides, I'm doing this for your own good. Join our Spirit Qi Delivery Center, and you'll have all you can eat and drink while saving the world and reaching new heights in life! What do you say? Care to consider it?"
"Do you really think you can stop me?" Nan Gong Xuan scoffed, ignoring Lin Yuan's banter as he fully activated the Spiritual Energy Channel.
A dazzling beam of light shot from the device, forming a vortex in the air that emitted a powerful suction, causing the surrounding air to twist and distort.
"This is bad! The channel is about to open!" Su Jiu'er exclaimed anxiously.
"Don't panic, I have a secret weapon!" Lin Yuan replied with a mysterious smile as he activated the Time Manipulator once more. Time froze. Lin Yuan stepped up to the Spiritual Energy Channel and pulled out a brick.
"Time-Space Brick Delivery, please sign here!" Lin Yuan shoved the brick into the center of the vortex and quickly retreated. Time resumed its flow.
Boom!
The Spiritual Energy Channel erupted violently, and the vortex vanished in an instant, completely thwarting Nan Gong Xuan's plan.
"Ah!" Nan Gong Xuan let out a scream as he was thrown back by the shockwave of the explosion.
Suddenly, a strange energy fluctuation emanated from deep within the base, and a mysterious figure slowly emerged…
