Ji Lin'an stared blankly at the white wall when Chen Hu heard the noise and came over: "Where is this place?"
Chen Hu walked up to us, looked at the white wall, and frowned: "This wall..."
Seeing Chen Hu squinting as he pondered something, I quickly asked, "What's wrong with the wall?"
Chen Hu stroked his chin, walked forward, touched the white wall, and brought it to his nose to smell: "This wall must have been built not long ago. The latex paint hasn't dried yet, and it smells quite strong."
I reached out and touched the wall, looking at my hand. There was no paint; the surface was dry, but still a little damp. I scratched at the wall with my fingernail, and my fingernail immediately filled with paint-stained wall plaster. Chen Hu looked around the room and said, "There might be some secret hidden in here. Let's find something to break it open before it dries completely."
Chen Hu walked to the leather and solid wood office chair and tried to move it, but he couldn't lift it even with all his strength. Ji Lin'an said to him, "Don't try to move it. I'll use my skill to see if I can break it."
After saying that, Ji Lin'an activated his flying axe. We quickly took a few steps back. Ji Lin'an controlled the flying axe to smash the white wall. After a few blows, a lot of the wall plaster fell off, revealing the red bricks inside. Ji Lin'an continued to control the flying axe to chop at the red bricks, but after a while, only a few broken bricks fell down.
Even after the money cooled down, it still couldn't break through the white wall. Hearing the elevator running, I walked to the door and watched Yuan Rui and the others get off. I quickly waved them over. Yuan Rui and the others entered the room and saw the damaged brick wall. Yuan Rui went up and examined it: "I estimate that there is more than one layer of red bricks. Judging from the sound, it probably takes at least one or two hundred pounds of weight to break through the wall."
Ji Lin'an asked, "Do you have manipulation skills?"
Yuan Rui nodded: "Yes, you want me to control objects to smash the wall?"
Ji Lin'an nodded, and Yuan Rui laughed, "I don't have that ability; I can't handle something that heavy."
Ji Lin'an walked to the office chair: "Let's try it together, maybe we can control the chair."
Yuan Rui nodded: "Okay, let's give it a try."
Ji Lin'an said, "I need to wait a while. I just used my skill and it's still on cooldown."
Yuan Rui stood to the side with his hands on his hips and nodded. Zhu Chen walked over to Yuan Rui and said, "I'll do it. I also have control skills."
Yuan Rui turned to Zhu Chen and said, "Come on."
Zhu Chen and Yuan Rui took a few steps back, and at the same time activated their skills to laboriously suspend the solid wood chair in the air, slowly moving it towards the front of the white wall. When they were about two meters away, Yuan Rui shouted, "I'll count to three, and we'll smash the chair over there together."
Zhu Chen nodded, and after 1, 2, 3, the chair smashed into the white wall. With a loud bang, a hole was instantly broken in the brick wall. The chair fell to the ground with another loud bang. I quickly went over to check and found that only a few broken bricks had been knocked off, but some of the bricks had cracked. I spent a long time digging through them and pulled out the cracked bricks one by one, revealing a layer of red bricks underneath.
Yuan Rui raised his hand towards Zhu Chen, and the two of them moved the chairs back again, this time with all of us standing against the wall. The chairs were moved back to a position of 3 meters. After another loud bang, most of the surface red bricks fell down, revealing a large hole. Yuan Rui and Zhu Chen continued to operate repeatedly, and after several times, a black hole the size of half a brick was finally revealed. Chen Hu and I quickly shoveled out the broken bricks.
Zhang Funan stepped forward: "I'll use my energy skill to break through, Su Yi, you two move aside."
Hearing the sound, Chen Hu and I retreated to the side. Zhang Funan activated his energy skill and retreated to the edge of the room. He took a running start and ran towards the wall. After a powerful impact, both sides of the wall collapsed instantly, and bricks above the wall fell to the ground one by one. The innermost layer of red bricks revealed a hole about the size of a head. Zhang Funan curiously stuck his head in to look inside, but even with the faint light shining in, he still couldn't see anything clearly.
Ji Lin'an took off his coat and handed it to Zhang Funan: "Wrap the coat in your hands and break up the bricks you took out of it."
After glancing at Ji Lin'an for a few seconds, Zhang Funan took the clothes, wrapped them in his hands, and smashed them against the inner brick wall. After a few blows, most of the wall collapsed instantly. The secret room behind the wall was still invisible. I took out a few flashlights from my space and distributed them to everyone. Chen Hu took the flashlight and stepped directly over the red brick wall and went inside. We followed one after another.
The room was empty, but there was a door with a card reader next to it. I immediately took out my access card from my bag and swiped it on the card reader. The door opened a crack instantly. Chen Hu reached out and pulled me behind him, while Ji Lin'an stepped forward and put one hand behind me to protect me.
Chen Hu pushed open the door. The room was pitch black. Chen Hu shone a flashlight inside, and the room was instantly brightened by the reflection of the black glass on the wall. Chen Hu walked into the room and immediately turned on the lights. We followed him into the room. Directly in front of us was the black glass that had just reflected the light, covering an entire wall. In front of the black glass was a table with a machine with a few buttons, a microphone, and a swivel chair. Apart from that, the room was empty.
Ji Lin'an walked up to the machine, examined it for a moment, and casually pressed a button. The black glass immediately turned transparent. I unconsciously stepped forward and was instantly shocked by what I saw, so I frowned deeply.
Everyone rushed forward and stood close to the glass, looking down. The room was filled with hundreds of machines that looked like space capsules. Each machine seemed to contain a person lying inside, with wires plugged into their body and head, and oxygen tubes and a transparent tube connected to their noses. Everyone had their eyes closed.
Suddenly, Xiao Dian exclaimed, "Me, that's me!"
Xiao Dian pointed in a direction with a look of horror. We looked in the direction he pointed and sure enough, there was a little boy lying in the warehouse. Upon closer inspection, it really was Xiao Dian, but Xiao Dian's face was much paler.
We were all panicked and at a loss. Yuan Rui stared wide-eyed at the motionless figure below. Yes, Yuan Rui, I've seen Yuan Rui's name on the roster before. It seems he's appeared more than once. If he really is the mastermind, why is he on the roster like us? And why is he acting so surprised now?
I walked up to Yuan Rui and asked, "Do you know what these are?"
Yuan Rui clearly didn't understand, and shook his head without even turning his head. Chen Hu suddenly pointed and said, "I saw 'me' too!"
We looked in the direction Chen Hu pointed again, and sure enough, it was Chen Hu. I immediately moved closer to the glass and looked at the hundreds of space capsules. Soon, I also saw "me". Everyone had found their own... "body" in the space capsules below. I took a few steps back, looked at everyone, took a deep breath, and said, "Let me tell you about the important information I just found."
Everyone turned to look at me with different expressions...
