Chapter 204 Deep Virtual Reality 31
“Everyone’s awakened superpowers are different.” Luo looked into Yu’s silvery-white pupils, but her words were transmitted directly into Xie Ning’s mind through the mental link.
Time was of the essence, and she didn't know if choosing this step was right or wrong. If that woman couldn't master her newly awakened superpower... they would die in the intense cutting experiments.
But here, only Xie Ning is trustworthy; if he wins the bet, he can live.
"She was in a lot of pain."
Yu's gaze fell on Xie Ning through the glass panel. Even though Xie Ning tried her best to remain normal, her slightly trembling hands betrayed the pain she was enduring.
Suddenly, the glass panel in her line of sight shattered with a bang. Xie Ning's light-colored pupils were reflected in the flying shards. As the bright white light dimmed, Yu only heard the sound of glass shards hitting the ground.
A chilling coldness spread from the soles of her feet, followed by a familiar presence.
"Silver Moon?"
"It's me. The surveillance cameras here have been temporarily disabled. We need to hurry." With the route map provided by Xie Ning, Yin Yue, who was already near Hua Rui, quickly made her way over, with Xuan Yi waiting outside to meet her.
The engineers who were in the observation area panicked instantly.
"Kono? Kono!"
The researcher sitting in front of the monitor shouted, but the artificial intelligence that should have responded remained silent.
"The circuit is broken. You're trying to contact us using a communicator, you idiot!"
"Professor Lillian, the communicator is being interfered with by an unknown magnetic field and is not receiving any signals."
A calm-looking middle-aged man turned on the light screen and began to operate it. He needed to eliminate the interference as soon as possible and contact Kono, not knowing whether it was just their area that was damaged or whether the entire experimental area was affected.
Someone turned on the lighting system on the wristband, but it was too dark and the area was too large, so the dim light made it impossible to see what was happening inside the experimental chamber.
Lillian glanced at the frail researchers and frowned deeply. Luckily, there were guards inside, otherwise she wouldn't know who to ask to enter the experimental chamber to check the situation.
"Put on your gas masks." Upon hearing the order, the guards below grabbed their weapons and, using the light from the communicator, opened the experimental chamber.
The place was a complete ruin, littered with severed limbs and mangled flesh, red blood, and the slime of some unknown creature. After all, a group of dangerous creatures had been released during the initial testing.
The guards were used to this scene. The guard in the middle used a manual instrument to conduct the detection. "Beep beep - Infrared detection started... Infrared detection completed, no signs of biological activity detected."
In other words, the experimental subject has disappeared.
Upon hearing the news from below, Professor Lillian took off her glasses, took out a handkerchief from her pocket, and slowly wiped them. The assistant beside her, who was holding up the light screen, swallowed hard, feeling very uneasy. This was her usual way of showing anger. This mistake... would probably mean that all the staff involved in this test would be held accountable.
Xie Ning lit up the screen, letting everyone know that she had been there the whole time.
She received a message from Silver Moon just as she was replacing the parts, but she hadn't figured out what to do yet. She didn't want to expose herself, so she didn't do anything underhanded while repairing the parts.
Xie Ning didn't think she could escape the eyes of artificial intelligence. Once she was found to be abnormal, there would be no good outcome for her.
"Professor Lillian, the circuit has been damaged by unknown means. The door cannot be opened temporarily. The staff is repairing it and it is expected to take another three minutes."
When Kno's voice rang out, the people present finally calmed down a bit.
"Seal off the entire experimental area and send in the guards to conduct a thorough search of the experimental subjects." The gates are closed; where did the experimental subjects get out from?
Could it be that they have awakened supernatural abilities that they don't understand?
Lillian looked into the depths of darkness, feeling a chill run down her spine, but a strange glint appeared in her eyes. "Is the entrance to the observation area closed?"
Although she was somewhat excited, she still needed to ensure her own safety. If the test subject awakened some powerful superpower, at least she would be safe in the observation area.
"Professor Lillian, it's already closed. The last person to come in was Staff Member Shening; an accident was happening at the time..."
Strangers.
"Who is Xie Ning?" Lillian frowned.
Upon hearing this, Xie Ning immediately stood up and replied, "Professor Lillian, I am a staff member here to repair PX-8, Dr. Ji's assistant."
Facing Lillian's sharp gaze, Xie Ning showed no fear, and simply said as usual, "The system malfunctioned just now, so I went to repair it. I had just reached the entrance of the observation area when the anomaly occurred. The guards at the entrance were there at the time."
However, the guards were just ordinary people; they couldn't detect the fluctuations of supernatural abilities themselves, nor did they wear detectors.
Although Xie Ning was the only outsider present today, no one suspected her, after all, she looked so frail and posed no danger whatsoever.
Lillian doesn't judge people by their appearance, but Xie Ning is indeed an ordinary person without a doubt. The Federation treats those who have awakened superpowers very well, and no one can refuse them. There are also mandatory testing methods.
If Xie Ning had superpowers, he wouldn't be doing odd jobs here from dawn till dusk.
Therefore, she stopped focusing her attention on Xie Ning.
