Chapter 132 Nice to meet you, I'm Sakura

In the spacious corridor, solid doors made of black metal are arranged in sections on both sides, like silent guards.

But what they wore were not armor, but various "Danger Area" and "No Entry" signs.

Old Tang touched the wall, then squatted on the ground and scratched it with a knife, and found that the texture was wrong:

"Wow, this wall is not just ordinary reinforced concrete, it's reinforced with carbon fiber!"

He had encountered a similar building before when he was tasked with stealing things, and he became more and more suspicious that this ghost place was actually the dissection room or some kind of human body laboratory of the Sheqi Eight Clan.

“It feels a bit depressing here.”

Lu Mingfei frowned. After running through so many floors, this was the only area without any signs and with a completely different style of painting.

This is quite consistent with what Aze said, "ξ".

He looked at the metal doors on both sides of the corridor and listened for a moment. He did not hear any strange sounds, only the lingering smell of formaldehyde lingering in his nose.

It feels like reading out the technological code that's exclusive to Ghost, and you'll see a room full of corpses soaked in formalin.

After thinking about it, he decided to be cautious and not touch anything randomly to avoid encountering any dirty things.

Unlucky.

And even if the Yagi Hachika family hid Eri, they wouldn't do it so casually. It must be in an unknown place with layers of protection.

Walking along the corridor, after a while, the corridor seemed to split in mitosis and suddenly became interconnected, as continuous and winding as a spider web.

The trio seemed to have entered an endless maze. All they saw were black metal doors with various danger warnings posted on them, as if telling them that some terrible monster was sleeping in the depths of the maze.

After several twists and turns and passing a row of medicine shelves, the smell of formalin finally dissipated and was replaced by the unique smell of disinfectant in hospitals.

At this moment, Lu Mingfei's face no longer had the previous expectation and relaxation. His brows were furrowed, and he looked at the maze-like floor with a serious expression.

The combination of formalin and disinfectant gave him a bad feeling.

Old Tang no longer felt like joking around him. The feeling here became more and more subtle, as if he had returned to the days when he used to explore and search for treasure in tombs with a map.

The three of them remained silent as they headed towards the center of the maze. The closer they got to the core, the more complicated the roads became, which made people wonder whether the designer had really built this floor according to the standards of a maze.

They didn't encounter any guards along the way. The pale light was shining, and the three of them were walking with barely audible footsteps. The intermittent breathing sounds of the exhaust fan could be heard above their heads.

Finally, they encountered the first obstacle - the silver-white security door that had just been removed.

Relying on the technological code Lockdown, the three of them passed through several security doors in succession and finally successfully reached the core area of ​​this floor.

The last barrier was a heavy metal door with a drop gate. Its weight had to be measured in tons. Even if Lu Mingfei used an order to make it short-circuit and stop working, he simply did not have the strength to lift it.

Old Tang looked up at the gate, then looked at the three of his men, each thinner than the last, and shook his head helplessly.

Just as the two StarCraft players were thinking about which cheat code would come in handy, the heavy metal gate suddenly rose up, and then two voices came from the gap between the door and the floor:

"What happened? Why did the outer security door short-circuit for no reason?"

"I don't know. I've reported it to the chief. He will send someone to repair it."

As they were talking, the gate was lifted with difficulty, and a man and a woman in white coats, who might be a doctor and a nurse, walked out.

Almost subconsciously, Lu Mingfei and Lao Tang grabbed the doctors and nurses by the throat, knocked them down and dragged them into the dark realm when they passed by, and quickly passed through the security door.

The passage behind the door is extremely spacious, almost enough to accommodate four cars driving side by side, and the four walls are reinforced with stainless steel, giving it a very substantial feel.

Lu Mingfei stepped on the stainless steel floor and could feel the coldness even through his tactical boots.

Along the way, he had been constructing the architectural layout of this floor in his mind, and this was the most central location.

The doctor, still struggling in his arms, proved that this was indeed a hidden place for medical treatment and recuperation.

If, he meant if...

If Eri was locked up here, would she be able to see the blue sky and white clouds, breathe fresh air, hold a ray of sunshine in her hands, and then childishly sprinkle it on others, saying that she wanted to share the warmth? At the end of the stainless steel passage stood a white rounded-corner airtight door, and bright white light shone through the glass window embedded in it.

"They have already reported the anomaly. We have to speed up." Lu Mingfei whispered. Lockdown only causes the mechanical unit to short-circuit and strike. It cannot conceal the fact that it is operating abnormally. It is only a matter of time before people notice it.

At this moment, the two doctors and nurses made it clear that the top leaders of the Eight Snake Families were already aware of the problem of the short circuit in the safety door and would definitely send someone to investigate as soon as possible.

And given my brother-in-law's sister-con personality, he might come over as soon as possible.

He put one hand around the doctor's neck and rushed towards the airtight door. His voice was hoarse and fierce: "Is Eri in there?"

The doctor, who was almost rolling his eyes due to being strangled, heard this and his arms, which had been powerless to resist, regained some strength as if from ashes. He grabbed Lu Mingfei's arm and tried to pry it out.

Such an obvious reaction naturally could not escape Lu Mingfei's perception. After confirming that the person he was looking for was hiding behind the airtight door, he increased his strength without hesitation and strangled the person to death.

He rushed to the airtight door, grabbed the access card on the doctor's chest and swiped it open, then threw the tool man away, put his hands into his black suit jacket, took out two Beretta M92F pistols equipped with silencers, and kicked the door open.

"Bang!"

“Puff, puff, puff, puff—!!!”

Almost at the moment when the airtight door hit the wall, Lu Mingfei fired both guns at the same time. The six medical staff on duty in the room had no chance to react at all. They fell to the ground with their heads tilted back.

Old Tang, who had just imitated Lu Mingfei and knocked the nurse unconscious, took out his gun and prepared to cooperate with Lu Mingfei, looked at the doctors and nurses who were staggering, and silently put away his Colt.

I'm not feeling well today and I'm afraid of breaking something. This room is full of very expensive medical devices and I can't afford the compensation even if I sell any one of them.

From conventional oxygen tubes and electrocardiographs to blood filters, cardiopulmonary resuscitation machines, high-pressure embolism pumps, and cardiac defibrillators that are almost only found in intensive care units, we have everything.

Old Tang even saw large medical equipment such as MRI machines and angiography X-ray machines worth millions of dollars.

It’s hard to imagine what kind of sick person lives here who needs so many medical equipments.

This can no longer be considered a treatment, it can be considered a life-threatening situation!

Lu Mingfei also saw the medical equipment that was so complete that it was a little scary, and the feeling of uneasiness in his heart became stronger.

He walked forward and looked at a metal wall with a handle and a combination lock. It looked like the door of a bank vault, but what kind of hospital would lock its patients in a vault?

The corner of his eye twitched unconsciously, and Lu Mingfei confirmed that Lockdown would not be effective on a vault door of this size, so he turned his gaze to the control console and display in the corner of the room, trying to find a mechanism that could be controlled from it.

But this is obviously impossible. These are just ordinary medical and nursing staff. They have no authority to open the vault door.

But this does not mean that Lu Mingfei gained nothing. He saw a Japanese-style wooden house on a display screen with a few drops of bloody anesthetic splashed on it.

It was a surveillance picture. The surveillance camera was pointed at a tatami-covered living room. There was only a kotatsu table in the middle and three statues hanging on the wall. Apart from that, there were no other decorations.

Lu Mingfei stared at the screen. There were not many furniture and no extra decorations in this wooden house. Apart from the kotatsu table, there was a huge LCD TV connected to a PS3 and a not-so-big closet.

Looking at the extremely monotonous room and the properly stored game controller on the ground, a sound like muffled thunder emerged from his chest.

A beautiful girl in her prime years was locked up in a room at the deepest part of a building. She could only move from one corner of the room to another every day. Her life had no privacy and was clearly filmed by surveillance cameras...

“Crack—”

There was a sound of twisting metal. Old Tang, who was checking to see if there were any fish that had escaped, came over and saw that the edge of the metal console had been flattened by a gloved hand.

When I checked past surveillance footage, I found that the hard drive only contained footage from the past week; the rest was nowhere to be found.

He clicked on today's surveillance video, and then turned to look at the girl squatting next to the doctor who was strangled by him and fainted: "Zero, is there any way to open that door?"

"Let me try." The girl in combat uniform took a pen from the table next to her and poked the doctor's abdomen hard. The doctor, who was suffocating and unconscious, immediately woke up with his eyes wide open.

Before he could even scream, he was met with a pair of golden eyes as bright as the sun.

The moment their eyes met, the doctor felt that the unit that stored his opportunities was triggered, and the process of previous examinations and treatments was repeated over and over again deep in his brain.

Zero searched for the password to the vault door among these complicated memory information, but after she analyzed a series of operations such as blood transfusion, blood filtration and serum injection, she still could not find the password to open the door.

At the same time, Lu Mingfei was quietly watching today's surveillance video. At 09:30, a red-haired girl in a shrine maiden's costume appeared on the screen.

She walked out of the room and got today's breakfast from outside the surveillance camera. She sat on the kotatsu table, turned on the TV, ate and watched TV, and this continued until noon.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

After lunch, she turned on her PS3 and started playing a game, Bomberman. It was obvious that she was practicing very hard, probably to teach him a lesson in the evening.

In the afternoon, when Lu Mingfei and others were visiting the ninja training base at Fuma's house, Yuan Zhisheng appeared.

He took a glass of juice and played a few games with the girl. After she drank the juice because she was thirsty, he waited for a few minutes and then picked up the unconscious girl in his arms and walked out of the cabin.

It was almost evening when the red-haired girl was brought back in and sent directly to the inner room where the surveillance cameras could not detect her.

During the double-speed playback, any human action becomes funny, but the girl basically sits in front of the TV except for the time when she lies asleep in her brother's arms.

She was either in a daze or concentrating on playing games. Maintaining the same posture for a long time made her look as if she was frozen in time.

Looking at Tachibana Masamune coming in and out, and the red-haired girl who quickly ran out happily to play games with netizens, and stared at the TV for a long time after the game ended before finally returning to the room, Lu Mingfei felt as if something deep in his brain broke and then quickly reorganized.

Veins bulged on the back of his hands as he controlled the mouse to delete all the surveillance videos. Then he turned around and saw that Ling was still performing her soul-searching technique, so he called for a stop.

He glanced at the medical equipment he had just used today, took a deep breath, and golden flames danced in his eyes.

Striding to the vault door, he took off his fake beard and glasses and said in a hoarse voice: "There is no cow level (Pass this level immediately)!"

This sound was like an order from a king, carrying suppressed anger, and the sound of continuous mechanical operation came from the huge metal wall.

After a few breaths, the solemn and heavy vault door made a low muffled sound, and the high-pressure nitrogen in the valve began to be released slowly.

The indicator light on top of the door changed from glaring scarlet to soft green, and the twelve thick and solid safety bolts made a crisp "click" sound almost at the same time.

The 20-centimeter-thick carbide giant door is like an ancient sleeping beast that has been awakened. It opens slowly, inch by inch, as if it is finally going to reveal the secrets hidden in the deepest part of this aerial maze to the world.

What comes into view is a deep and quiet trail with a faint scent of white sandalwood and the ground is paved with cherry wood boards that have been polished to a shine.

Lu Mingfei turned his head to look at Lao Tang and Ling, indicating that he wanted to act alone next, and then stepped into the cherry blossom wood corridor behind the vault door.

The corridor was quiet, with wooden sliding doors on both sides. Lu Mingfei imagined his girl moving between these rooms, eager to see the outside world but always blocked by the vault door, and having no choice but to return to her small room to watch TV.

His heart was pounding wildly as Lu Mingfei looked at the only sliding door of the room at the farthest end of the corridor that still had a light on. He could vaguely see a shadow cast on the upper half of the door by the light.

It was a hand, a hand holding a towel and wiping the hair.

Lu Mingfei smelled the scent of vanilla shampoo mixed with a hint of shower gel. It was obvious that the girl inside had just finished taking a shower.

An inexplicable thought flashed through his mind - didn't she go to bed before? Inside the house, a girl in a light pink nightgown was standing in front of the closet, wiping her wet red hair while choosing clothes that suited her.

Although the lower layer is all red and white shrine maiden costumes, the styles are not exactly the same. Some come with big bows, some are sewn with amulets, and some are decorated with cute duck embroidery...

She was in a good mood and full of energy tonight. After finishing the game, she read comics for a long time before going to bed.

Originally she wanted to wait a little longer to see what Sakura meant by "there will be a surprise after waking up", but it was indeed a little late at this point.

If I don't go to bed soon, my brother will find out and pinch my face.

Oh, I forgot, only the brother in my dream would pinch the face as a punishment.

Suddenly, the girl's ears moved slightly, as if she realized that the footsteps outside the door were a little wrong, and did not match the two people who often came to visit her.

She tilted her head, a little curious about who was... looked up at the time... and came to disturb her sleep at 11:30 in the evening.

Ying always stayed with her brother, and her footsteps were always so light that they were almost inaudible.

The girl wiped her wet hair with a towel and took out a samurai sword from the closet.

This knife was given to me by my brother, who told me to use it to protect myself if a stranger came in.

She walked lightly to the quaint sliding door, her figure elongated by the light, and her shadow clearly projected on the shoji paper between the grids, like a lively silhouette painting.

Then she raised the knife and gently opened the door.

The girl stood there quietly, her face cold and her pair of rosy red eyes were like a bottomless cold pond, revealing an indifference as biting as winter.

She looked at the boy in front of her calmly, her eyes seemed to be thinking about where to cut him so as not to splash blood into the room.

The boy still had one hand raised to knock on the door, but his body froze in place like a thief who was suddenly caught, with helplessness and embarrassment written all over his face.

Facing that frosty gaze, the frozen boy suddenly revealed a restrained smile on his face.

Facing the girl's frosty gaze, the boy, who seemed to have been frozen in place for a long time, suddenly forced a slightly stiff but restrained smile on his face, trying to break the awkward deadlock.

The hand that was about to knock on the door slowly stretched out, waved lightly, and said in a gentle voice with a slight tremor that was barely perceptible:

"Hello, nice to meet you. I'm Sakura."

Hearing this familiar game ID, the red-haired girl paused while wiping her hair and her eyes became more lively.

But she soon regained her indifference, and swept her eyes over Lu Mingfei inch by inch with a scrutinizing look, like a gentle snowy wind blowing from the icy fields of the Far North, chilling people to the bone.

The smile on Lu Mingfei's lips did not diminish at all, and his eyes were shining with a complex and indescribable light.

He took off his gloves slowly, his slender fingers turning them flexibly. Suddenly, a silver necklace slipped quietly from his palm, drawing a graceful arc in the air.

The pendant of the necklace was a small and exquisite platinum duck, which swayed slightly under the influence of gravity.

Under the reflection of candlelight, it sparkles with charming luster, just like a lively elf swimming happily in the golden waves.

The boy who broke into the girl's bedroom at night quietly stared at her bright eyes that thawed in an instant, and whispered: "The courier is closed at night, so I have to deliver the surprise to your door myself."
