Before making any rash moves, Xiao Jin carefully checked the room. Sure enough, she found a pinhole camera on the side of the cabinet and a listening device under the bed.
The bathroom was very clean, otherwise Xiao Jin really wouldn't have been able to take a shower.
Seemingly remembering something, Xiao Jin sat on the toilet, flipping through the ID card in her hand. When her gaze moved to the card holder on the outside, she suddenly reached out and touched the knot at the connection point.
Upon touching something hard, Xiao Jin's face revealed an expression of certainty.
These card sleeves were distributed uniformly to everyone in the laboratory. Xiao Jin had observed that almost everyone had the same one, making it the most suitable place to tamper with them.
Carefully disassemble it, and inside is a positioning device about the size of a little fingernail.
Xiao Jin didn't touch it. After looking at it once, she put it back in its original place, including the ones on the outside.
She took a shower and changed into the clothes on the rack, while Xiao Jin herself had all her props set to hidden mode.
After everyone else went out to eat, Xiao Jin also went downstairs. She had originally planned to take advantage of their absence to check out their rooms, but with the surveillance cameras, it wasn't appropriate.
Following the route she had come up, Xiao Jin got a meal and found a place to sit down.
The food in the lab was pretty good; there was a small buffet table with dishes to suit the tastes of various Chinese people.
Taking this opportunity, Xiao Jin openly observed the people around him.
What's chilling is that, with thousands of people in the hall, apart from the soft clatter of cutlery hitting plates, there was no other sound coming from the surroundings.
Everyone buried their heads in their food, seemingly unable to speak. Silence meant that Xiao Jin couldn't inquire about the situation from the others, which hardly constituted a valuable discovery.
But perseverance pays off, and Xiao Jin finally discovered the difference.
At the table to her right sat a chubby boy who seemed to be hiding himself well, but Xiao Jin saw through his furtive glances and furtive movements.
He didn't have Xiao Jin's acting skills, which made him stand out among the NPCs.
Turning her gaze away, Xiao Jin slowly swallowed the food in her mouth.
It must be a player; it seems he's not the only unlucky one thrown into a foreign lab. Once there's one, there's bound to be a second.
Yes, Xiao Jin had already sensed that, unlike the previous background, this laboratory must be located on another continent.
With her eyes no longer fixed on the chubby boy, Xiao Jin continued searching for other targets in the crowd. But when she glanced at a chef holding a spoon and staring intently at himself through the window, Xiao Jin's lips twitched involuntarily.
Mao Liu racked his brains to recall all the sad things in his life before he could no longer suppress the urge to burst into wild laughter.
His spoon was shaking violently in his hand, causing the NPC in front of him to stare at him with dead fish eyes, so Mao Liu had no choice but to scoop out another spoonful.
When I opened my eyes, Mao Liu was chopping vegetables in the back kitchen. I was so distracted that I almost cut my hand into the bowl.
After figuring out what was going on, Mao Liu was completely dumbfounded. Why was he trapped in a laboratory, and the people next to him were speaking gibberish?
If it weren't for the system's translation capabilities, he would have been exposed in no time.
Just as Mao Liu was filled with anxiety, thinking about how to escape, he saw Xiao Jin picking up food from the side.
Mao Liu immediately felt as if he had seen a savior.
Others might not know, but he did. He had a good friend of Boss Xiao. When the points leaderboard was first released, Mao Liu jumped for joy, eager to show off on the channel, but unfortunately he didn't dare.
That's second on the leaderboard, a true powerhouse.
If Mao Liu's mind was like a ball of yarn that had been messed up by a cat before, now only one thread remains inside, and that thread is Xiao Jin.
Now is the time to latch onto a powerful figure!
Not daring to reveal his identity, Mao Liu didn't call out to Xiao Jin. He could only stare intently at Xiao Jin with his 24K pure gold dog eyes, trying to attract her attention with the light.
Hard work pays off, and he succeeded. After exchanging glances with Xiao Jin, Mao Liu secretly gave a thumbs-up in his mind, and his anxiety subsided considerably.
Xiao Jin never expected that among so many people across the country, she would actually run into Mao Liu.
However, Mao Liu is not bad. Although his strength is a bit lacking, he is ambitious and obedient. The players in the last world should have gained a lot, and Mao Liu's strength must have improved a lot as well.
Therefore, Xiao Jin did not show any unwillingness or refusal in the face of Mao Liu's fiery expression.
She only gave him a look that said, "Take it easy."
Mao Liu: I understand.
Upon receiving the signal, Mao Liu instantly quieted down. He adjusted his expression to appear less excited, but his eyes still kept glancing at the NPCs in front of him.
His profession has inherent advantages, and it would be a shame not to make good use of them.
Mao Liu not only screened all the people standing in front of him, but also memorized the faces of the researchers whose names were marked as "high-level researchers" on their chests.
He had a feeling this would work.
On the other side, Xiao Jin also noticed that Mao Liu's eyes kept lingering on the NPC's face and chest. If Xiao Jin didn't know that Mao Liu didn't like men, she would have definitely misunderstood.
But she quickly understood Mao Liu's idea, and a hint of appreciation flashed in her eyes.
Suddenly, a commotion broke out ahead, followed by six or seven armed guards who entered. The leader was a tall, muscular white man with a cold expression and hawk-like eyes that swept over all the researchers.
Surprisingly, the researchers who had been unresponsive all showed fear on their faces, and the guards around them slowly backed away.
"Stop! Stand up!" the guard leader shouted.
Everyone who was eating immediately stood up, and Xiao Jin followed suit.
"Listen, an unknown force has recently infiltrated the lab. They've been sent to steal our research data. If you notice anything unusual about any of your members, you must report it immediately."
As he spoke, he suddenly raised his hand, in which was a damaged mechanical spider, about the size of a grape, which Xiao Jin could still see clearly from a distance.
"This belongs to outsiders. Thanks to these bastards, I haven't even had a meal today. Ha~ You guys seem to be enjoying your food." He sneered.
This is... a mechanical spider?
Xiao Jin lowered her eyes, concealing the contemplation within them.
Are you referring to the players as "unknown forces"? That means some players have already made a move, but they were too reckless and didn't scout the situation beforehand, so they've been discovered.
Fortunately, what we found was a mechanical creature, which looks like it might be a player's skill or item.
