Chapter 956 Finale (Part 4)
He is Mr. X!
Ruan Qi stared at the man's profile, and all the blood in her body rushed to her heart, causing it to beat violently.
It was this man who conspired with Xu Qingya to hunt down her parents for twenty years.
She finally saw him!
Whether from a national or personal perspective, the hatred between Ruan Qi and Mr. X was too deep. It took a great effort for her to resist the urge to rush forward. Gritting her teeth, she mentally spoke to Bai Li, "Uncle Bai Li, follow and see."
Bai Li immediately floated behind Xu Qingya and Mr. X.
Xu Qingya was filled with anger during the meeting and didn't want to bother with Mr. X at this moment. She walked towards the two innermost offices by herself.
She walked to the glass door, quickly entered the password on the keyboard, and then verified her fingerprint and iris.
“Ding—Verification successful.”
The glass door opened.
Xu Qingya went straight to the office on the right, opened the door and walked in without looking back.
Mr. X, who was following behind her, seemed unaware that she was angry. He walked towards the glass door leisurely in his wooden clogs and at a leisurely pace.
Suddenly, he paused, and his terrifying gaze swept towards the decorative screen.
“!”
Ruan Qi was startled and immediately suppressed his breath to the lowest level.
Mr. X stared at the screen for two seconds, frowned slightly, turned around and started to walk over here.
Ruan Qi covered her mouth and nose, stared at his movements with wide eyes, and frantically thought of a solution in her mind.
Suddenly, there was a sound of glass hitting the ground in the office.
Mr. X paused, a flicker of impatience in his eyes. After a moment, he turned around and walked towards the office.
A few seconds later, the office door was closed.
The man's figure completely disappeared inside the door.
The corridor became quiet again.
Ruan Qi huddled in the corner, patiently waiting for a long time. After making sure that the other party would not come out again, she lowered her hand covering her mouth and nose and breathed a sigh of relief.
"I was so scared! This old bastard has such a keen sense of perception. He almost caught me!"
Ruan Qi patted his chest in fear, and Bai Li also floated back at this time.
"Uncle Bai Li, did you see the password Xu Qingya entered?"
Bai Li: "I see, a30y0*36. Girl, do you want to try it?"
Ruan Qi poked his head out from behind the screen and carefully looked around the layout of the two offices.
Because of the glass door separating them, the two offices formed a small space of their own. This space had no obstructions except for a desk and chair placed in a corner of the wall, which was probably where the secretary worked.
Ruan Qi's eyes swept across the desk, and he had an idea.
She stood up, walked quietly to the glass door, and entered the password provided by Bai Li.
"Uncle Bai Li, help me turn off the sound of this machine."
The glass door was too close to the office, and Ruan Qi was afraid that the people in the room would hear the prompt tone indicating successful verification.
Fortunately, this is not a difficult task for Bai Li.
He waved his sleeves and the verification instrument became mute.
Ruan Qi quickly completed all the verifications and the glass door opened.
She immediately slipped in, ran straight to the desk in the corner of the wall, bent her waist and got under the desk.
This location was right next to the office door. Ruan Qi put her ear against the wall and the sounds from inside the room could be faintly heard.
"Why did you reject my proposal in the meeting just now? Didn't we agree on this before? X, don't forget, our child is still there!"
This is Xu Qingya's voice.
This office might have been soundproofed, so Ruan Qi couldn't hear it clearly. She raised her head and glanced around, suddenly spotting a glass on the desk.
Ruan Qi's eyes suddenly lit up.
She raised her hand to take the cup, placed the bottom of the cup against the wall, and then placed her ear on the rim of the cup.
Sound can be transmitted through a medium. Placing the cup on the wall can enhance the clarity of the sound.
Back when she was in Qingyun Village, Ruan Qi would often use this method to eavesdrop when Uncle Wang next door had quarrels.
With the help of the glass, the quarrel in the office was indeed much clearer.
Xu Qingya launched into a barrage of verbal attacks, implicitly accusing Mr. X of failing to fulfill his duties as a father.
Mr. X waited quietly for her to finish before he spoke slowly, "As the child's biological father, I certainly haven't fulfilled my responsibilities for a few days. But that's no reason for you to force me to rashly attack China. Ya, I think you should be very clear whether you want to attack China for the sake of the child or for your own selfish reasons."
These words revealed Xu Qingya's inner calculations. She was silent for a long moment before she spoke, "Even if I have selfish motives, it's true that I'm thinking about the child. If we don't attack China, the Xi and Ruan families won't let us go. Do you know how many forces are behind Ruan Fengmian? We have a blood feud with him, and he won't let us go!"
Mr. X: "It's just the Ruan family. Even if you add the Xi family, there are only a few dozen people at most. And we have hundreds of indestructible test subjects."
"But Ruan Fengmian and the others know ancient martial arts!" Xu Qingya raised her voice excitedly. "Not only do they know ancient martial arts, but Xi Jiu's influence spans the globe. Do you know how many people are in his Q Base and Eagle Division? Do you know how many secret guards the Xi family has trained? And then there's Ruan Qi! Backed by her is the Wushang Sect! China's largest and most mysterious ancient medical sect!"
When Mr. X mentioned Ruan Qi, his tone became more volatile.
He asked Xu Qingya, "The Ruan Qi you're talking about is the girl who killed Jiang Chunian?"
"That's her," Xu Qingya gnashed her teeth in hatred. "This girl is incredibly evil. Not only does she have Nie Beilou as her master, but she's also completely bewitched by Xi Jiu. I heard Simon Austin from Solomon is also very close to her. And that young master of the Alphat family, Abed, has become the president of her overseas fan club! This girl is just like her grandmother, both a vixen!"
Out of jealousy and hatred, Xu Qingya added a lot of personal emotions when introducing Ruan Qi.
After listening to this, Mr. X actually became quite interested in this girl whom he had never met before.
"Xi Jiu, Simon Austin, Abed Arfat... so many powerful people are gathered around her. I think this Ruan Qi must be perfect."
Xu Qingya didn't expect that after talking for so long, Mr. X was only concerned about whether Ruan Qi was perfect or not.
The fire in her heart suddenly flared up: "Fuck! Don't you forget who you are!"
"Of course I haven't forgotten." Mr. X spoke in a leisurely and comfortable tone, as if discussing a very ordinary matter. "I'm old and have no interest in young girls. However, if such a perfect woman could be used as a test subject... it would be a wonderful thing."
Xu Qingya's tone immediately changed, "You want to use Ruan Qi as a test subject? Let her be used by us?"
"Of course." Mr. X's voice was filled with laughter. "This Ruan Qi's body must contain enormous energy. Such a perfect body, why would we let it go? And just as version 3.0 of the poison is about to be successfully developed, I want to name it 'Angel'. Such a beautiful name, it suits a girl like Ruan Qi very well. Ya, what do you think?"
Xu Qingya: "She's just a vixen, how can she be compared to an angel? But I think your idea is good. Letting Ruan Qi become our experimental subject is indeed a very satisfying thing."
At this point, Xu Qingya laughed joyfully twice, then suddenly added, "But doesn't version 3.0 of the poison still need several months to be completed? How did it suddenly arrive earlier?"
"I asked them to speed up. They are currently conducting experiments with the new version. We are going out to discuss cooperation tomorrow morning. Before we leave, do you want to go to the lab and take a look?"
"Of course." Xu Qingya's tone was filled with anticipation. "I want to see with my own eyes how they develop the poison that can control Ruan Qi! X, let's go!"
When Ruan Qi heard this, he quickly put away the glass and hid under the desk.
She waited for a moment, holding her breath.
One second... two seconds... three seconds...
A full minute passed and there was no movement at the office door.
Xu Qingya and Mr. X never came out.
What's going on?
Aren't they going to the lab where the nightmare poison is made?
It's been a minute, why haven't you left yet?
Ruan Qi poked his head out from under the table in confusion, picked up the glass and listened carefully against the wall.
The office was silent, without any conversation.
Ruan Qi: "Strange... Where are they? Did they go to sleep?"
"Girl, how about I go in and take a look?" Bai Li suggested.
Ruan Qi thought about it and nodded: "Then Uncle Bai Li, you should be careful."
Bai Li waved at her, his figure turned transparent, and he passed through the wall in a flash.
In less than half a minute, he came out of the wall again.
"Fuck! What the hell! There's no one in the office!"
Ruan Qi: "??? No one? How is that possible?"
"Yeah, I thought it was impossible, too. But I searched everywhere in the office, even the trash cans and the restrooms, and there was no sign of Xu Qingya or that old bastard! Damn! Is this really haunted? This place is so fucking weird!"
Bai Li touched his arm in fear.
Ruan Qi lowered her eyes and fell into deep thought.
She had just seen Xu Qingya and X walk into the office with her own eyes, and heard their conversation with her own ears. But why did the two of them disappear in less than a minute?
Where did they go?
Is there another door in this office?
"Uncle Bai Li, is there another exit in the house?"
"No! Absolutely not! I've searched everywhere and even felt around the walls myself. Don't even tell me there's an invisible door!"
Since there is no second exit, where did Xu Qingya and X go?
Ruan Qi suddenly remembered what they said before they disappeared - they had originally planned to go to the laboratory.
He just said he was going to the lab, and then he mysteriously disappeared from the office. What's the relationship between them...
An incredible guess slowly formed in Ruan Qi's mind—
The laboratory where nightmare poison was developed... couldn't it be in this office?
Is there any secret passage in this room leading directly to the laboratory?
Otherwise, why would Xu Qingya and X disappear out of thin air in the office?
Moreover, only this setting can explain why she has been searching for so long but still couldn't find the place where the nightmare poison was developed.
Because Nightmare's laboratory is not in the open, but in a secret passage that outsiders cannot see.
Ruan Qi expressed her guess, and Bai Li suddenly understood after listening to it.
"No wonder we couldn't find it after searching for so long. It turns out it's hiding in the office. Tsk, that old bastard is so cunning!" Bai Li complained, then asked Ruan Qi, "What are you going to do now?"
Ruan Qi stared at the closed door of the office, her eyes flashing, and she said softly, "I want to go in and see it with my own eyes."
…
Mr. X's office was quiet and empty.
Suddenly, the door handle moved slightly, and the door slowly opened a gap.
"Girl, are you sure the surveillance in the office has been blocked?"
"Sure. Don't worry about Tianlu doing the job." Ruan Qi opened the door and slipped into the room with Bai Li.
Mr. X's office is very large, with an office area, a rest area, and a meeting area.
Ruan Qi quickly glanced around. "Since there's a secret passage, there must be a secret door or mechanism. Uncle Bai Li, I'll search this way, and you search that way. Remember to search thoroughly."
The two people searched the office carefully.
Ruan Qi was in charge of the office and rest areas. She searched the office area first, but when she found nothing, she turned and went into the lounge.
Mr. X's lounge is extremely luxurious, with a specially customized large bed, custom-made furniture throughout the house, an extremely spacious bathroom, and a projection that takes up an entire wall... This is not an office at all, it's a well-decorated high-end apartment.
"Jiujiu is so rich, but the office lounge isn't this luxurious. What a waste, old bastard." Ruan Qi muttered softly as she finished searching the bathroom. "Where is the secret door hidden?"
She walked out of the bathroom and slowly scanned the big bed in the lounge.
The king-size bed is very clean and tidy. There are two low cabinets of the same color on both sides of the bed, and on the cabinets are... Huh?
Ruan Qi fixed her eyes on him and walked over.
On the clean and tidy surface of the bedside table, there was a white medicine bottle.
There was no writing on the surface of the medicine bottle. Ruan Qi unscrewed the lid and only a thin layer of white pills remained inside. It seemed that the pills had been taken for a long time.
Is this medicine Mr. X's?
What's wrong with his health? Why does he need to take medicine?
Ruan Qi thought about it, poured a pill from the bottle and put it in his pocket.
"Seventh girl, have you found the secret door here?" Bai Li floated in from outside the door at this time.
Ruan Qi put the medicine bottle back in its place and shook her head: "No. I searched the bedroom and found nothing."
Bai Li: "I didn't find it either. How could this old bastard hide the secret door so deeply? Seventh girl, do you think we might have guessed wrong? Maybe there is no secret passage in this office at all."
"Impossible," Ruan Qi said firmly. "If there's no secret passage, how could Xu Qingya and that old bastard disappear? There must be a secret in this room."
“But we can’t find it.”
"Don't worry, I have a way." Ruan Qi patted his pants, stood up from the carpet, looked up at Bai Li with a smile, "Uncle Bai Li, let me assign you a task."
Bai Li:?
…
A few minutes later, Ruan Qi left the office quietly.
Curfew was about to begin, so she rushed back to the holding room as quickly as possible and skillfully locked herself back in the cage.
Not long after, the fat man Laurie came back after eating and drinking his fill.
He touched his beer belly and burped as he checked around the detention room. After making sure everything was alright, he returned to his room.
The holding room became quiet again.
But Ruan Qi's mind was filled with Bai Li's noisy complaints.
"You little bitch, I was wondering why you were smiling so sweetly at me just now. Turns out you had arranged such a tough job for me! You actually let me stay in the office and wait for something to happen!"
Even though they were two floors apart, Ruan Qi could still clearly feel Bai Li's strong resentment.
She chuckled and used her mental power to talk to him, "Uncle Bai Li, those who are capable should do more work. You are a spirit, and that old bastard can't see you. So you are the most suitable person to stay in the office and wait for them to come out of the secret passage."
Since we can't find the secret door, let's not look for it anymore.
Anyway, with Bai Li as a plug-in, as long as he stays in the office, he will wait until Xu Qingya and X come out of the secret passage sooner or later.
By then, wouldn’t they know where the secret passage is hidden?
Ruan Qi used all her cleverness on Bai Li. Bai Li was so angry that she gritted her teeth, but she still stayed in the office without complaint.
"I'm suffering here, and you're just going back to sleep! Is Laurie back yet? Did he notice anything unusual?"
"No." Ruan Qi replied, "Jiujiu gave him too much to drink, and he was staggering when he walked. He looked around the holding room and then left."
Bai Li: "It's good that nothing unusual was found. Girl, it's been a day, when are you going to take action?"
"Wait until you find the secret door. Bai Yuchen and the others are already nearby. Once you find the secret door, I'll sneak in and take a look. If it really is the nightmare poison laboratory, we'll take action."
Bai Li responded with a "OK," "Then you take a rest for a while. I'll go back when that old bastard comes out of the secret passage."
Bai Li waited until midnight.
Ruan Qi took a nap against the cage for two hours. As soon as she woke up, Bai Li came back.
Ruan Qi stood up immediately: "How is it? Did you find the secret passage?"
"Found it." Bai Li took out a bottle of happy water from the system, gulped down half of it, burped, and then said, "You'd never guess where that old bastard hid the secret door."
Ruan Qi: "Where?"
"In the Roman column that separates the office area from the rest area!" Bai Li gestured with her hands. "Do you remember that Roman column? The one with the world-famous paintings hanging on it?"
Of course Ruan Qi remembered.
Mr. X's office was decorated in a luxurious, European-style palace style, with intricate European patterns carved into the walls and furniture. The partition between the lounge and work area was even more extravagant, featuring two towering Roman columns covered in dazzling gold foil and featuring world-famous paintings worth hundreds of millions of dollars.
Ruan Qi was deeply impressed by the two Roman columns because of the dazzling gold foil. She had also carefully felt around the columns before and found no trace of a hidden door.
"Of course you can't find it," Bai Li said. "That Roman column has two layers, an inner and an outer layer, and it can rotate underneath. Just press the mechanism and the column will rotate counterclockwise, revealing the secret entrance to the inner layer of Roman columns. This old bastard is really amazing. Why didn't the emperors hire him as the designer when they built their mausoleums?"
Just by listening to Bai Li's description, Ruan Qi could imagine how incredible the mechanism of the Roman column was. Mr. X had made it so complicated, so there must be a very important secret in the hidden passage. The nightmare poison laboratory was most likely there.
"Girl, when do you plan to go to the secret passage?" Bai Li asked.
Ruan Qi thought for a moment and said, "Didn't Xu Qingya and that old bastard say they were leaving early tomorrow morning? I'll go over after they leave. Uncle Bai Li, please help me explore the secret passage and see what's hidden inside."
"But I can't read foreign languages," Bai Li scratched his head. "Even if there's a laboratory hidden in the secret passage, I don't understand what they're researching."
Ruan Qi: "It's okay. By the way, Uncle Bai Li, with your current spiritual power, can you project the images you have seen into the system?"
"It's tough." Bai Li shook her head. "Most of my spiritual energy is used to maintain the system and your life. The energy I have available is very little. Even if I can project the image, it will only last for one or two minutes at most."
Over the past two years, Ruan Qi had accumulated a considerable amount of Faith, and Bai Li had also recovered most of his Spiritual Power. In the past, this Spiritual Power would have been enough for him to ascend to heaven and descend to earth, to do whatever he pleased. However, he was bound to Ruan Qi, and Ruan Qi was already dead.
Ruan Qi is still alive thanks to Bai Li's endless supply of spiritual energy. Bai Li gave all his spiritual energy to Ruan Qi, leaving very little energy for his own use.
Ruan Qi knew how hard Bai Li was working, so she said slowly, "One or two minutes will be enough. Uncle Bai Li, when you go to the secret passage later, if you find the laboratory, immediately project the footage into the system."
"Okay, I'll go now."
…
Bai Li is a spirit, so it only takes a moment for him to get from the holding room to Mr. X's office.
Ruan Qi waited quietly for a while, and suddenly a wave of energy came from the system.
Immediately afterwards, a picture appeared in the virtual space.
"Seventh girl, there really is a laboratory here! It turns out Organization X's headquarters isn't on the sixth floor, but the seventh! This is the seventh underground floor! Holy crap, this place is huge! Bigger than the floors above!"
The perspective of the picture moves along with Bai Li's gaze.
In the picture, a door made of solid metal stands in front of Bai Li like a mountain.
The wall next to the gate was densely packed with surveillance cameras and password pads. In addition, there were rows and rows of small round holes on the wall.
"Strange, what are these little holes for? They make me feel like I'm having claustrophobia." Bai Li complained in a low voice.
Ruan Qi looked at the small holes, frowned, and said, "Uncle Bai Li, come closer and smell it. Does that hole smell like gunpowder?"
Bai Li immediately moved in front of the small hole and sniffed hard.
"It really smells like gunpowder! What on earth is this?"
"It's a gun." Ruan Qi's brows darkened. "There are infrared sensors installed on the walls on both sides. If a stranger appears, the sensors will immediately sound an alarm. And from these small holes, countless bullets will instantly shoot out, cutting the person into a sieve."
Bai Li suddenly screamed "Oh shit" and stepped back in fright.
"This is too perverted! Holy shit, this lab is filled with gold! The United Nations' security system isn't as strict as this!"
Ruan Qi's eyes were cold and gloomy. "To the people of Organization X, Nightmare Poison is more precious than gold. Uncle Bai Li, please continue to move forward. I'll watch."
Bai Li immediately walked through the door and floated inside.
After entering the gate, you will see the laboratory.
The lab was enormous, surpassing the entire basement level of X headquarters from the first to the sixth floor. This vast space was divided into countless smaller labs by glass and various instruments and equipment. The lab workers in their white coats all lowered their heads, concentrating on their tasks.
Because of his limited spiritual power, Bai Li moved very quickly. He shuttled between the various laboratories, trying his best to project all the situations inside into the system.
Ruan Qi watched intently. Suddenly, she called out, "Uncle Bai Li, stop."
Bai Li stopped immediately.
Ruan Qi: "Turn around and look at the laboratory behind you."
Bai Li turned around immediately, and the laboratory that Ruan Qi mentioned appeared in the projected image.
This laboratory was the largest on this floor, and seven or eight researchers sat inside. On the lab table before them lay various test tubes, instruments, and liquids of various colors.
Ruan Qi's eyes quickly swept across the devices, and finally looked at the computer area in the center.
"Uncle Bai Li, move to the computer. It's the main unit in the middle."
Bai Li floated towards the computer host.
The computer was on, and the document on it was densely packed with various English words and data. Bai Li felt his eyes hurt as soon as he took a look. He projected the screen on the computer into the system and said, "Seventh girl, look at this. This thing makes me dizzy."
Ruan Qi stared at the document, reading ten lines at a glance, her beautiful peach blossom eyes becoming brighter and brighter.
Bai Li: "How is it? Have you finished reading it? What does it say?"
"It's the information on Nightmare Poison!" Ruan Qi's voice was filled with joy. "This is what we've been looking for! Uncle Bai Li, we finally found it!"
Bai Li was immediately happy when he heard this.
"Great! I finally found it! All my hard work these past two days has paid off! Girl, do you want to continue reading? I'll use the mouse to help you scroll down the document?"
Ruan Qi subconsciously wanted to nod in agreement, but the next second, she suddenly calmed down.
no.
We can't act rashly now.
These computers are very likely to be installed with monitoring software. If Bai Li uses the mouse to control the computer, what if they find out?
We can't alert the enemy.
Ruan Qi's excited mood quickly calmed down.
She said to Bai Li, "Don't worry about the computer for now. I'll go over and take a look myself when the time comes. Uncle Bai Li, please help me find a sample of Nightmare Poison."
The information about the poison has been found, and the sample must be nearby.
Bai Li immediately started looking around the laboratory.
However, to his disappointment, there was no sample of nightmare poison in the laboratory.
"It's okay." Ruan Qi comforted him, "Uncle Bai Li, go look somewhere else, maybe you can find it."
Upon hearing this, Bai Li left the laboratory and continued to float forward.
At this point, the system's image projection had lasted nearly a minute. With Bai Li's current spiritual power, two minutes was his limit.
In other words, there is only one minute left for the image projection.
There is too little time.
Bai Li was anxious and sped up considerably. Ruan Qi also held her breath and concentrated, trying to clearly see all the images that flashed by on the projection.
Because Bai Li sped up, he quickly finished exploring most of the huge first-floor experimental space.
Now there are only the last two rooms left.
These two rooms were also the strangest places in this laboratory floor, because they were not separated by glass, but were cast in thick, hard metal like a copper wall.
Metal walls, metal doors, not a single window, it's as sealed as a prison for serious criminals.
"With such tight security, there must be something wrong inside. Maybe the nightmare sample is inside. Seventh girl, let me go in and take a look for you first."
After Bai Li finished speaking, he slipped through the metal wall.
However, what was unexpected was that he had just passed through the wall one second ago, and the next second——
Drop-drop-drop-drop!!!
A sharp, piercing alarm instantly echoed across all floors of X Headquarters, like a bomb dropped into a tranquil lake, causing a monstrous wave.
There was chaos in the headquarters in an instant.
"What's going on! Why is the alarm going off?!"
"Is there an intruder? Where's the security captain? Quickly activate the defense!"
"The alarm came from Room 1 at the very back! Who went in just now?!"
This floor of the laboratory was in complete chaos.
The screams of the experimenters, the roars of the security personnel, the various messy footsteps and the shrill alarms all combined into a scene of panic and anxiety.
As the instigator of all this, Bai Li: "..."
what happened?
Where is he? Who is he? How did this all come to be?
Bai Li floated in the air with a confused look on his face, and helplessness was written all over his body.
Ruan Qi was also startled by this sudden incident and quickly asked him, "What happened over there? Why did the alarm suddenly go off?"
"I don't know..." Bai Li was more confused than anyone else. "I floated in from outside the wall and the alarm started going off. But I didn't touch anything."
Bai Li is a spirit, weightless and temperatureless. With the current level of technology, if he were to become invisible, no instrument would be able to detect him.
Therefore, there was no way he could have triggered the alarm by mistake.
Then why did the alarm sound?
Bai Li and Ruan Qi were confused when suddenly, a beast-like roar appeared on the system's projection screen.
In the picture, the metal room where Bai Li is located is dark, with only the monitor hanging on the wall emitting a little red light.
Suddenly, a sound of footsteps as heavy as a mountain was heard.
Bai Li subconsciously looked forward - in the darkness, it seemed that some huge monster was moving towards this side rapidly.
Ruan Qi felt that the footsteps were not right and immediately said, "Uncle Bai Li, find a way to get some light."
The room was too dark, and even though Ruan Qi had excellent night vision, he couldn't see anything clearly.
When Bai Li heard her words, he raised his hand and made a sound, and a cluster of flames popped out from his fingertips.
However, before the flames could illuminate the surroundings, a muffled rumbling sound suddenly came from the door of the metal room.
The metal wall split in two with a loud bang, and dazzling light slanted in -
The door is open!
The light from outside came in.
Bai Li finally saw clearly the huge creature that made the heavy footsteps—
It turned out to be one person!
To be more precise, he is a mutant whose height and height have exceeded the limits of the human body, with veins all over his face and strong muscles, like a monster!
The mutant was like an iron tower, the ground shaking with every step he took. Rough, gurgling gasps emanated from his nasal cavity, and his bulging eyes glowed crimson in the light.
"Oh no! One of the test subjects is out of control!" The terrified screams of the experimenters were heard outside the door. "Quick! Bring the tranquilizer!"
There was chaos outside the metal room. Soon, several security guards came over carrying a box of tranquilizers.
The iron tower-like mutant had already rushed to the door. He felt the chaotic atmosphere around him and became more and more manic.
"The area between the second and third cervical vertebrae at the back of the neck is the most vulnerable part of the experimental subject. Shoot him there with the tranquilizer gun!"
Several security guards loaded tranquilizers into tranquilizer guns and shot at the back of the mutant's spine.
More than a dozen anesthetic needles flew out one after another, most of which were knocked away by the experimental subject with a wave of his hand, and only two needles pierced the back of his neck.
The sedative in the syringe was quickly pushed into the body, and in less than ten seconds, the drug took effect.
The subject's movements began to slow down, and his roars gradually became quieter.
The security personnel injected a few more anesthetic needles into the back of his neck, and finally - with a "thump", the experimental subject, as strong as an iron tower, slowly fell down.
The security guards surrounding him waited for a while, and when they were sure that he could no longer move, they rushed forward and tied up the experimental subject with iron chains.
"Oh my God! This monster is so terrifying! How could he suddenly lose control?!"
"He was a primary version of the Nightmare experiment. The technology wasn't perfect back then, so it was normal for things to go out of control occasionally."
"So what do we do now? Send him back to room one?"
"Send him back," said an experimenter. "Remember to close the door tightly and don't let him get out again."
Several security guards worked together to lift the experimental subject and returned it to the metal room.
The light in the metal room was turned on.
Bai Li, who was acting as a transparent person in the corner, finally saw everything in the room clearly.
Rectangular metal cabinets, at least two meters tall, stood in rows like upright coffins. The room was enormous, with rows and rows of cabinets stretching as far as the eye could see. At first glance, it gave the impression of being in a morgue.
Bai Li's hair stood on end.
He quickly called out to Ruan Qi: "Girl! Seventh girl, look! It's so scary in here!"
There was no reply from Ruan Qi.
Bai Li was stunned for a moment, and then realized that his spiritual power was exhausted. He didn't know when the picture projection ended.
"Girl?" He used his mental power to contact Ruan Qi.
Ruan Qi finally spoke up: "I'm here. Uncle Bai Li, I can't see the projection. What's going on over there?"
"One of the test subjects got out of control. Seventh girl, this metal room is full of cabinets, so many cabinets, it's like a morgue!"
Ruan Qi: "What's in the cabinet?"
Bai Li was just about to go over and take a look when he saw the security guards carrying the experimental subject to a cabinet and pressing the password to open the door.
As the cabinet door opened, the light inside the cabinet lit up, allowing Bai Li to clearly see the instruments and chains inside.
Several security guards carried the subject into a cabinet, chained his hands and feet, and then inserted a catheter needle with pink liquid flowing through it into his body.
"Holy crap!" Bai Li was almost stunned. "Seventh girl, they put the test subject in the cabinet! They even handcuffed him and gave him an injection! Wait a minute... the liquid in the catheter is pink! Seventh girl, that's nightmare poison!"
Ruan Qi, who was curled up in the cage, immediately sat up straight.
"Uncle Bai Li, are you sure?"
"Nine out of ten." Bai Li moved closer and whispered, "When Jiang Chunai came to Yuyuan to capture you, I saw the nightmare poison in his hand. It was exactly this color! Girl, the ones in this cabinet are experimental subjects! But there are so many cabinets in this room, could it be..."
Bai Li suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
There are at least hundreds of cabinets in this room. If each cabinet contains an experimental subject, that would be hundreds of experimental subjects.
Hundreds of them!
An indestructible, painless experimental subject that has broken through the limits of the human body and has its consciousness controlled!
Bai Li felt like she was going crazy: "Girl, this is full of..."
"Experimental subjects." Ruan Qi's tone was a little heavy. "Nine out of ten of these cabinets are filled with experimental subjects."
The ambitions of Organization X always exceeded her expectations.
Every time she thought this organization was cruel and terrifying enough, it would use its actions to tell her that they could be even more cruel.
Hundreds of cabinets, hundreds of experimental subjects, how many lives will be sacrificed?
And before these hundreds of successful experimental subjects appeared, how many innocent people became their trial stones?
Unimaginable.
countless.
Ruan Qi felt more anger than fear at facing hundreds of test subjects. She said to Bai Li in a cold tone, "I'll contact Bai Yuchen later and ask him to bring in more people. Uncle Bai Li, go find the sample of Nightmare Toxin. If you can't find it, come back as soon as possible."
After cutting off contact with Bai Li, Ruan Qi contacted Bai Yuchen through the metal piece behind her ear.
She ignored Bai Li's existence and briefly told Bai Yuchen about the laboratory on the seventh floor underground.
Bai Yuchen was also shocked after hearing this.
"Hundreds of test subjects?! Why so many? Are these people in Organization X crazy?!"
"They're crazy anyway," Ruan Qi said in a cold voice. "The number of experimental subjects has exceeded expectations. Hurry and seek support. Mr. X and Xu Qingya will leave headquarters early tomorrow morning. If nothing unexpected happens, we'll take action as soon as they leave."
Bai Yuchen's heart trembled, and his voice became serious: "Okay. I will contact the Eagle Tribe and Solomon immediately and ask for their support. Sister-in-law, you and Brother Nine must be careful."
"Don't worry, Jiujiu and I will be fine. By the way," Ruan Qi said to Bai Yuchen, remembering what Bai Li had just said, "the weak point of those experimental subjects is between the second and third vertebrae at the back of the neck. When you attack, try to attack there, and don't go head-on."
This information was very important, and Bai Yuchen immediately informed everyone.
"Then sister-in-law, I'm going to contact support first. Let me know in advance when to take action tomorrow."
Not long after finishing the call with Bai Yuchen, Bai Li came back.
The sample of nightmare poison has not been found yet. There are two metal rooms on the seventh underground floor. One is used to store experimental subjects, and the other is filled with information related to nightmare.
"Such a large room is only used to store some data? Why isn't it in the computer?"
"Who knows?" Bai Li shrugged. "I searched that room for a long time, and it was full of file racks. I didn't find anything else."
Ruan Qi frowned, feeling a little strange.
Now is the technological age. If you want to store data, you only need a hard drive. Why do you need to set aside a room specifically to store paper documents?
Moreover, no matter how important this information is, there is no need to build a room with metal walls to install it, right?
This is a bit too much of a fuss.
Ruan Qi felt strange, but she couldn't go and see it in person now, so she could only put her doubts aside for the time being.
"How's Jiujiu doing?"
"Very good. After he treated those people to a promotion banquet, he found an opportunity to sneak into the database. He just came back ten minutes ago." Bai Li replied.
Ruan Qi: "Uncle Bai Li, please tell Jiujiu that Bai Yuchen is already contacting for support. As soon as Xu Qingya and Old Wangba leave, we'll take action."
…
That night, the desert wind and sand did not stop until midnight.
Outside the headquarters of Organization X, dark clouds connected to the yellow sand, and the jagged rocks looked like a sleeping beast, curling up its huge body in the night.
At the end of the horizon, a moving figure appears and disappears.
Gradually, they came closer and closer. The dark clouds parted, and the moonlight illuminated their faces.
"This is it. My sister-in-law's last location was here." Bai Yuchen wiped the dust off his face, turned on the locator and took a look.
The red dot representing Ruan Qi's position completely overlapped with where they were currently standing. In other words, Ruan Qi was right under their feet.
"My sister-in-law said the entrance to Organization X's headquarters is buried in the sand. How are we supposed to get in?"
"She left a mark." Gu Feiyang squatted not far away, touching the yellow sand on the ground with his slender fingertips.
In the moonlight, everyone saw a faint bright green light flashing in the yellow sand. That was the mark left by Ruan Qi crushing the green crystal beads in the van before entering the headquarters.
"She left the mark here, which means the entrance should be nearby. Everyone, spread out and hide. Don't stray too far from here. Xu Qingya and Chief X should be coming out soon."
Everyone in the action team dispersed immediately.
At the same time, in the detention room on the third underground floor, Ruan Qi knocked out the fat man Laurie who was in charge of guarding the room and successfully reunited with Xi Jiu.
"Xu Qingya and X have stood up?"
"They're up." Ruan Qi lowered her voice. "Uncle Bai Li is guarding the door to their lounge. Xu Qingya and Old Turtle are about to get in the car and leave."
"Yes." Xi Jiu tied up Laurie and stuffed a rag in his mouth. "After they leave, we'll go to the secret passage."
At three o'clock in the morning, a black Bentley slowly drove out of the gate of X headquarters.
Bai Yuchen and the others who were hiding in the desert saw the entrance appear out of nowhere on the ground and couldn't help but curse: "These bastards are better at hiding than rats!"
"Xu Qingya and that X are out. Should we just kill them?"
These two had given the Chinese people the Nightmare poison, and everyone had long hated them to the core. Seeing them get out of the car, everyone wanted to rush over and kill them.
But Bai Yuchen stopped everyone.
"No. Our goal this time is to obtain the Nightmare Toxin sample and destroy Organization X. Killing those two now will likely alert the underground headquarters."
What Bai Yuchen said made sense. Everyone could only grit their teeth and stare at Xu Qingya and X's car as they drove away.
At this moment, in the dimly lit corridor on the third underground floor, two figures moved swiftly and ghostly. They stunned the patrolling security guards and made their way from the third underground floor to the sixth underground floor.
On the sixth underground floor, outside Mr. X's office.
Xi Jiu asked Bai Li to help block the verification system, and he took out a piece of wire and poked it into the keyhole twice.
Click!
The door opened.
Ruan Qi and Xi Jiu immediately slipped into the house and headed straight for the Roman column that hid the secret passage.
Following Bai Li's instructions, they found the mechanism and pressed it.
The Roman column made a faint sound of gears and began to slowly rotate counterclockwise. When it turned to a 45-degree angle, a dark entrance appeared!
The entrance to the secret passage!
Ruan Qi's eyes lit up and she was about to step in.
But Xi Jiu pulled her behind him and walked into the secret door first.
"There are no traps along this road. But it's dangerous once you reach the seventh underground floor. There are infrared sensors on both sides of the wall at the entrance to that floor. Once they detect an intruder, they will shoot bullets. I have too little spiritual power to use now, so I can't help you get rid of the traps." Bai Li explained as he led the way.
Xi Jiu took Ruan Qi's hand and said in a deep voice, "It doesn't matter. If you can't solve it, just destroy it. It will be exposed sooner or later anyway, so it doesn't matter if you wait a moment."
Bai Yuchen and his men have already arrived. Once they find the mechanism at the entrance, they will break in. By then, they will definitely alert the people in the organization.
It will happen anyway, so it doesn't make any difference if it happens a little earlier or a little later.
Ruan Qi and Xi Jiu adhered to the style of "don't talk if you can do it", and passed through the secret passage at an extremely fast speed and reached the seventh underground floor.
In front is the infrared sensing device that Bai Li mentioned.
"Do you want to destroy it directly?" Bai Li asked as he floated aside.
Xi Jiu raised his wrist to check the time. "I'll ask Bai Yuchen about the progress. If they've found the entrance mechanism, have them act immediately. That'll help us draw some firepower."
Xi Jiu contacted Bai Yuchen using the communicator.
Good news soon came from Bai Yuchen - the entrance was found!
Xi Jiu immediately gave the order to "break the door".
The dormant X organization was now completely silent.
About two minutes later, a sharp and piercing alarm sounded through the sky!
Drop—drop—drop—drop—!
Someone is invading!
Someone is invading!
Warning! Intruder! Defense system compromised!
Sharp beeps echoed wildly throughout the vast X organization.
All the sleeping people were awakened.
One light after another came on, and the originally dark headquarters was instantly brightly lit.
"There's an invasion! Everyone assemble!"
"The underground defense system has been breached! Someone broke in!"
"Close all labs and data banks! Quick!"
The fighters of Organization X quickly gathered and headed straight for the underground floor.
At this time, the metal gate at the entrance to the underground floor had been cut into scrap.
Bai Yuchen retracted his hand and touched the watch on his wrist like a treasure: "The laser gun invented by my sister-in-law is really useful. It can cut such a hard door like tofu. The door is open, brothers, charge! The third group, go to the third underground floor first to rescue the hostages!"
The team of 100 people, composed of four forces: the China Action Group, the Eagle Division, the Solomon, and the Alfat Family, came like a god of death, with great momentum.
The logistics personnel on the underground floor were quickly defeated.
When the X organization's combat team arrived, Bai Yuchen and his men had already reached the elevator entrance. As soon as the two groups met, they immediately engaged in a melee.
At the same time, on the seventh underground floor, Ruan Qi and Xi Jiu also began to act.
Xi Jiu took out the laptop he had found in Herman's room from his backpack. He handed it to Ruan Qi, who squatted down with the laptop in her arms, her beautiful fingers dancing on the keyboard.
About five minutes later, a sharp alarm sounded throughout the seventh underground floor.
Drop—drop—drop—!
Attack The system has been hacked!
System No. 1 is damaged!
Activating defense mode!
Defense mode activation failed!
System number one failed—system number one failed—system number one… The sharp electronic sound suddenly became out of tune, and then it stopped abruptly.
Ruan Qi closed her laptop and said, "Done! The infrared devices on both sides have been disabled. Let's go in!"
Xi Jiu immediately took the lead and headed straight for the first metal door.
Because of Ruan Qi's laser gun, the metal door was as fragile as soft tofu. Xi Jiu cut through the door in just a few strokes, and the shattered door panel slowly fell down with a loud "boom".
Following the loud noise was the terrifying sound of gunfire.
From the moment the alarm sounded that the infrared system was damaged, the combatants in the laboratory on the seventh underground floor were ready.
They gathered in front of the metal door with guns drawn, ready to shoot anyone who broke the door open.
Countless bullets flew out at the same time.
However, the imagined scene of the invaders being shot to pieces did not occur. Amidst the hail of bullets, the tall and stern man standing outside the door raised his hand slightly, and a layer of transparent ripples appeared in front of him like a glass shield.
The bullet flying towards him hit the ripples and stopped instantly as if the pause button had been pressed. Then—
Crash!
The bullets fell to the ground with a crackling sound.
This magical scene shocked everyone on the seventh underground floor.
The security guards with guns widened their eyes, totally unable to believe what they saw.
"God! My God! He can control bullets!"
"He's a devil! He's a devil sent from the East! Quick! Kill him! You must kill him!"
Xi Jiu's abilities beyond ordinary people's cognition made these people panic. They pulled the triggers frantically, hoping to kill this black-haired devil with their weapons.
However, for Xi Jiu, who has reached the grandmaster level of ancient martial arts, such a small number of bullets is not enough to scratch his itch.
He raised his hand and another round of bullets fell to the ground.
Seeing that firearms were useless against Xi Jiu, the men tried to release the experimental subjects from the metal room. But before they could do anything, Xi Jiu and Ruan Qi rushed in.
Because of their disguises, Ruan Qi and Xi Jiu didn't have any firearms on them. But this didn't affect their performance. Without guns, they could just rob. If they couldn't grab anything, it didn't matter. They still had chemical methods.
Ruan Qi began to sprinkle the powder one piece at a time.
Before disguising herself and infiltrating Organization X, she had already strapped all the poison powder she had concocted close to her body inside her clothes. Now, she pulled out a packet, then another, and as the powder spread, large groups of enemies fell to the ground like clubs that had lost their direction.
After all the powder was spread, Ruan Qi went straight to the laboratory where the nightmare information was stored, while Xi Jiu was responsible for defending her from the attacks behind her.
At this time, in the laboratory where the nightmare data was stored, several shivering experimenters were huddled together.
These experimenters had no fighting power, so Ruan Qi knocked them out directly, then pulled over a chair and sat in front of the main computer in a row of computers.
The host computer was turned on at this time. Ruan Qi manipulated the mouse and casually clicked on a folder.
Encrypt files.
She clicked on another one.
Or encrypt the file.
All files on this computer require a password.
But this is not a difficult task for Ruan Qi.
She tapped at the keyboard rapidly, and gradually, the encrypted files became like male dancers seducing women. They took off their clothes and completely revealed their true contents.
Ruan Qi cracked the password while browsing the file at a glance.
She simply deleted the unimportant files and dragged the important ones to the hard drive.
After searching for more than ten minutes, Ruan Qi's eyes were almost blinded. The file containing the core information of the nightmare poison was finally dug out from the depths of her computer!
"That's it! Seventh girl, this is the document I projected to you yesterday!" Bai Li, who was floating aside, pointed at the letters on the title of the document and said to Ruan Qi excitedly.
Ruan Qi immediately cracked the document and clicked on the text to read it quickly.
The poison's composition, development process, and experimental samples... have been found! The genetic sequence has been sequenced!
Ruan Qi opened her eyes wide, held her breath, and memorized the string of symbols. After she was sure she wouldn't forget them, she put the file on her hard drive.
At this time, half an hour had passed since Bai Yuchen and his team broke into the underground floor.
Ruan Qi had no idea what was happening on the upper floors, but the seventh underground floor was already a bloody mess.
Xi Jiu had no idea how many people he had killed. He held a submachine gun, standing in front of Ruan Qi like a mountain. He was covered in blood, mostly from the enemy. The crimson blood splattered on his cheeks, adding a strange touch to his stern face.
The security guards were frightened by Xi Jiu's murderous methods and for a moment they didn't dare to step forward.
At this moment, a loud "boom" suddenly sounded above the seventh underground floor.
Before anyone could figure out what was going on, Bai Yuchen's voice came from the doorway: "Nineth Brother, Sister-in-law! We're here!"
Bai Yuchen rushed into the seventh underground floor covered in blood.
Behind him followed Gu Feiyang and the members of the action team. Everyone had wounds on their bodies, but most of them were covered in the blood of the enemy.
When Xi Jiu saw them arrive, his tense expression finally relaxed a little.
"Are you all injured?" he asked, looking at everyone.
Gu Feiyang kicked a bodyguard away and walked over quickly: "Fortunately, they are all minor injuries. How are you guys doing? Have you found the information?"
"Found it. Xiao Qi is cracking it." Xi Jiu shot a man who rushed towards Ruan Qi, turned around and asked Gu Feiyang, "What was that sound just now?"
Gu Feiyang: "It was Solomon's men. They brought heavy weapons and directly blew up the sixth underground floor."
As Ruan Qi's partner for many years, Simon Austin's working style is exactly the same as hers - try not to talk if you can do it with your hands.
So this time, he not only sent people over, but also gave away a large-scale thermal weapons package for free. The most powerful one in the package could raze the seven floors of Organization X's headquarters to the ground with a single shot.
And those bastards on the sixth underground floor were sent into the sky by Gu Feiyang's two rocket launchers.
The appearance of the action team members provided great help to Xi Jiu.
The situation on the seventh underground floor was quickly brought under control. The bodyguards and security guards of Organization X were either killed or injured, and the experimental personnel were tied up to be dealt with after they got out.
After Xi Jiu and the others dealt with the enemy, Ruan Qi also finished copying the last document.
She pulled out the hard drive and tapped the keyboard a few times, and all the computers on this floor began to self-destruct.
"The data is destroyed?" Xi Jiu walked to her side.
Ruan Qi nodded: "It's all destroyed. No one will be able to see this information anymore."
For Organization X, these data and information are a treasure trove of wealth, but for the victims who died in human experiments, these data are a disaster.
Such a disaster must not happen again. Only by destroying all this data can we completely kill the thoughts of those with ulterior motives.
Ruan Qi put the hard drive into his pocket, turned around, and when he saw Bai Yuchen and the others, he asked, "Have all the hostages in the holding room been rescued?"
Bai Yuchen: "They've been rescued. The mercenaries sent by Solomon have already escorted them out. They should be safe now."
Hearing this, Ruan Qi's worries finally dissipated.
She said to everyone, "We've found the information on Nightmare Toxin. Now we just need samples. Everyone, spread out and search. Oh, and that room..." She pointed to Metal Room No. 1, "That room is full of test subjects. We have to find a way to get rid of them."
People who have been used as experimental subjects cannot be saved. Even if an antidote is developed, it can only save a body without a soul.
Therefore, there is only one way to deal with these experimental subjects——
Kill them.
Killing was not a difficult task for Xi Jiu and the others. But this time, everyone was silent.
Before being injected with poison, those experimental subjects were innocent ordinary people. They were forced to undergo human experiments, forced to become monsters, and now, they are forced to die.
This is so cruel.
Everyone was a little hesitant to do it.
"Sister-in-law, is there no way to save them?" Bai Yuchen couldn't help but ask.
Ruan Qi shook his head with a heavy heart: "Their sea of consciousness is gone. Now all that's left here is a shell. Even if they are rescued, they will just lie there for the rest of their lives, sleeping forever."
Everyone was silent again.
Without a sea of consciousness, one is equivalent to being without a soul. Even if a body without a soul is saved, it is no longer the same person as before, but a lifeless shell.
Therefore, there is no need to save him anymore.
"I know everyone is heartbroken, but rather than letting them be manipulated like this, it's better to just give them a quick death." Ruan Qi looked at everyone and said slowly, "I'm a doctor. No one understands the dignity of being human better than I do. They were all innocent people, and it was those greedy people who stained their hands with blood. If they were still conscious, they would definitely not want to see their bodies treated like this. So, please help them stop this disgusting farce and give them back their dignity and freedom as human beings."
No one wants to be manipulated.
No one wants to have blood on their hands.
If one day, I am no longer myself and I can no longer control my body and consciousness... then please kill me and give me freedom.
Ruan Qi's voice was gentle and compassionate, yet filled with endless determination.
She looked at everyone seriously, her eyes full of sincerity.
Everyone's heart was moved.
Bai Yuchen looked at Xi Jiu: "Nineth Brother..."
"Don't ask me." Xi Jiu stood beside Ruan Qi, "I will always do what Xiao Qi says. It's up to you to decide what you want to do."
Everyone looked at each other.
"I'll join." Gu Feiyang spoke first and walked over to Ruan Qi and Xi Jiu.
Bai Yuchen followed closely behind: "Sister-in-law, you are right. Instead of living like this without dignity, it is better to give them a quick death. Sister-in-law, I will do it with you."
Everyone already agreed with Ruan Qi's idea, and with Gu Feiyang and Bai Yuchen taking the lead, they all joined in immediately.
Ruan Qi took them to metal room No. 1.
"I've checked before, and there are at least several hundred test subjects locked up in this room. Their weak point is between the second and third vertebrae at the back of their necks. It's best to kill them instantly and not cause them to riot."
Ruan Qi gave instructions while bombarding the door of the metal room with a laser gun.
Because the room contained a highly lethal experimental subject, the door had to be significantly stronger. Ruan Qi spent several minutes blasting the door open a small amount, but before she could move forward, a shrill alarm suddenly rang out, threatening her life.
In an instant, countless bullets flew out from both sides of the wall.
"Everyone get down!"
Xi Jiu reacted the fastest. With a cold shout, he suddenly pounced towards Ruan Qi.
As he moved, a layer of energy like water ripples condensed into a protective wall, blocking everyone in front.
Bullets flew all over the sky, and the energy wall trembled violently under the impact.
Everyone lay down on the ground according to Xi Jiu's instructions. It was not until almost two minutes later that the overwhelming attack finally ended.
"Are you out of bullets?" Bai Yuchen raised his head slightly and looked at the mechanisms on the walls on both sides of the metal room.
Ruan Qi also raised her head from under Xi Jiu. She looked at the mechanism on the wall, itching to go and take a look, but was held down by Xi Jiu's big hand.
"I'll go over and take a look, baby, don't move."
After Xi Jiu finished speaking, he stood up and approached the metal gate cautiously step by step.
He walked tentatively to the front door and continued to destroy it with the laser bracelet developed by Ruan Qi.
As Xi Jiu moved, the hole in the metal door grew larger. Finally, with a loud "bang," the heavy metal door slowly fell back, slamming heavily onto the ground.
Xi Jiu stood there and waited for a few seconds, but no second wave of attack came.
He retracted the energy shield and waved to Ruan Qi: "It's safe for now, you can come over."
Everyone stood up immediately and walked over with Ruan Qi.
Ruan Qi followed Bai Li's instructions and walked to the wall to turn on the light.
Everything inside the metal room was instantly revealed to everyone.
The huge room, with row after row of silver metal cabinets and the strong smell of disinfectant and medicine, was filled with coldness and depression.
"All of Organization X's experimental subjects are here. Those metal cabinets are their 'bedrooms'."
Ruan Qi said as she walked to a cabinet and violently broke the code on the door.
The silver cabinet door creaked open slowly.
The light in the cabinet automatically lit up, illuminating everything in the cabinet and the handcuffed experimental subject.
——She was a girl who looked only in her teens.
Before she became a test subject, she must have been very beautiful. She had thick blond hair, fair skin, curled eyelashes, and a slightly raised smile with a small mole under her lip, revealing a hint of girlish playfulness.
This should be a child enjoying youth and happiness.
But now, she was locked in a cold metal cabinet, with tubes plugging her body.
Her body, ravaged by the experiments, was riddled with scars. Her once smooth skin was now covered in scars and veins, and her slender limbs had become incredibly thick and hideous under the catalysis of the poison. The most terrifying thing was the right side of her face—a large, rotten hole there, probably caused by her body being unable to withstand the catalysis of the poison during the experiment.
Everyone in the action team was shocked when they saw the girl's miserable condition.
"How old is this kid? Is he eighteen?!"
"Such a young girl, who should be the most lively and beautiful, is now imprisoned here... How much suffering must she have endured before becoming an experimental subject?"
"These beasts!"
Everyone felt extremely angry.
Ruan Qi looked at the girl in the closet, was silent for a moment, and suddenly walked towards her.
"Baby?" Xi Jiu wanted to hold her back.
But Ruan Qi let go of his hand and walked up to the girl without looking back.
She stared at the girl for a while, then suddenly said, "She looks about my age."
Everyone was stunned for a moment.
Yes, Ruan Qi is twenty-one years old this year, and this girl looks only about seventeen or eighteen years old.
The two people are not much different in age.
However, life is completely different.
"At your age, you should be studying in school, or skipping classes to go out and play. Of course, if you don't want to go to school, you can also go out to work. The work may be tiring, but you will still be happy. That's the life you should have, not being locked up here after being tortured."
Ruan Qi looked at the girl, slowly raised his hand, and gently touched the bloody hole on her cheek with his fingertips.
"Your sea of consciousness is gone. I'm sorry, I can't save you. But..." Ruan Qi's fingers slowly moved back from the girl's cheek, and finally stopped at the back of her neck.
A slender silver needle appeared at the fingertip.
Ruan Qi stared at the girl's closed eyes, a hint of sadness in her peach blossom eyes: "I can give you back your freedom. Even if it means death, I will not let you lose your dignity."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ruan Qi's fingertips trembled slightly, and the sharp tip of the needle pierced into the back of the girl's neck.
The girl's body shook violently, and her tightly closed eyes suddenly opened.
Due to the catalysis of the poison, her eyeballs bulged out, and her eyes were full of scarlet bloodshot. The moment she saw Ruan Qi, her eyes rolled and a low growl like a beast came from her throat.
But soon, as the silver needle penetrated deeper and deeper, her growl gradually disappeared and her bulging eyeballs gradually recovered.
Immediately afterwards, the girl's limbs and torso seemed to deflate and quickly returned to their original slender and graceful shape.
Ruan Qi inserted the silver needle another inch deeper.
The girl's body trembled slightly, her head raised unconsciously, and her lifeless and distracted eyes met Ruan Qi's gaze.
Ruan Qi looked at her intently.
The girl's sea of consciousness was completely destroyed the moment she became the experimental subject. She was now just a shell without self-awareness. But the moment she met the girl's lifeless eyes, Ruan Qi seemed to see a faint light in them.
The light flashed by and quickly disappeared, along with the girl's life force.
Under Ruan Qi's gaze, she slowly closed her eyes.
At the moment her eyes closed completely, a tear flowed from the corner of the girl's eye and slowly slid across the corner of her smiling lips.
Ruan Qi closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and pulled the silver needle out of the girl's neck.
"She's dead." Ruan Qi turned around, her sparkling peach blossom eyes looking at everyone, "The experimental subject's weak point is at the back of the neck. Be careful when you take action, or they might riot. Alright, let's get started."
Time was running out, so the action team composed themselves and took quick action.
The doors of the metal cabinets were forced open one by one. Everyone looked at the experimental subjects locked in the cabinets, hardened their hearts, and stabbed their weapons into the back of their necks.
At this moment, these victims who had suffered endless torture in human experiments were finally relieved.
Their sea of consciousness had long since disappeared, but the moment they closed their eyes, Bai Yuchen and the others felt a relaxed smile on these people's faces.
Perhaps it is the souls of these victims who are laughing.
Everyone in the action team felt extremely complicated, and their hands moved even faster.
Ruan Qi was relieved to see that the test subjects didn't riot. He turned to Xi Jiu and said, "Jiujiu, I'm going to go next door to find a sample of nightmare poison."
So far, the information about the poison and the experimental subjects have been found, but the sample of the nightmare poison has not been found.
Although antidotes can be developed based on text and data, if there are finished samples of the poison as a reference, the progress of developing the antidote will be faster and the victims of the poison will recover sooner.
Ruan Qi gave everyone some instructions and then went to the metal room No. 2 next door.
Bai Li had explored this room before, and found that it contained only paper documents, and no nightmare poison at all.
But Ruan Qi always felt something was wrong.
Xu Qingya and that old bastard went to great lengths to build such a heavily guarded house, just to store a few pages of information?
What information is so important?
Is this an imperial decree?
Ruan Qi felt that there was something strange about this room. She violently broke open the door, dodged the trap, and swaggered in.
Metal Room No. 2 was smaller than the one next door. It was bare, save for a few shelves of documents placed against the four walls. Ruan Qi casually pulled out a stack of documents and flipped through them—they contained experimental data.
These experimental data are indeed important, but they don't seem to be important enough to require a special metal room to store them.
There's definitely something fishy going on in this room.
Ruan Qi retreated to the center of the room, looked up and looked around carefully.
The metal room was square, with black tiles on the floor and walls and roof covered in hard, rare metal. There were no traps or hidden doors; everything looked perfectly normal.
However, Ruan Qi always felt that something was wrong.
She stared at the wall opposite the gate for a long time, then suddenly rushed to Room No. 1 next door.
"Seventh girl, what's wrong?" Bai Li floated over.
Ruan Qi didn't say anything.
She stared at the wall of Room 1 for a moment, then lifted her feet and walked straight from the base of the wall to the front door with even steps.
"Ten steps," she whispered.
Bai Li: "What ten steps?"
"It takes ten steps to walk from the wall to the front door of this room. Each of my steps is one meter, which means the width of this room is ten meters. And the metal room next door..." Ruan Qi trotted back to Room No. 2 next door, stood at the door and walked inside.
One step, two steps, three steps...
"Six, seven, eight..." Bai Li counted along with Ruan Qi. When she reached the eighth step, she paused in surprise. "Eight steps? How can there be only eight steps? This room is only eight meters from the door to the wall? Two meters less than the next door?!"
Yes, this is why Ruan Qi felt that this metal room was strange.
——The width of this room is two meters less than the one next door.
Ruan Qi: "These underground laboratories were built by Organization X themselves. They wouldn't dig two meters less just to save a little money. If I'm guessing correctly, there should be space behind this wall."
"There's still space? Then what are you going to do? You can't find the mechanism." Bai Li asked her.
"If we can't find the mechanism, then forget it." Ruan Qi took two steps back and raised the laser wristband on his wrist. "Time is running out, let's just tear down the wall with force!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a laser shot out from Ruan Qi's wristband and instantly landed on the metal wall.
The sound of hard objects being cut rang out in the air, and cracks began to appear on the metal wall under the impact of the laser waves.
The cracks grew bigger and bigger. When a frame large enough to accommodate a person's height was cut out in the wall, Ruan Qi retracted his wristband, took a few steps forward and suddenly raised his foot.
Bang--!
The slender long legs burst out with great strength and kicked heavily on the metal wall.
The frame that was cut out from the wall trembled violently, and then the metal plate inside the frame peeled off from the wall and slowly fell to the ground.
Bang!
The metal plate hit the ground with a loud bang.
At the same time, a large hole appeared in the metal wall.
Ruan Qi walked over cautiously and leaned slightly towards the cave entrance.
An enclosed space about two meters wide and ten meters long appeared before our eyes!
"What the hell! What the hell! There actually is a secret room here!" Bai Li opened his eyes wide in shock and floated into the cave.
He quickly looked around the secret room, and when he saw the cabinet against the wall, he screamed, "Seventh girl! Look what's in the cabinet!"
Ruan Qi walked into the secret room and turned to look over.
In a secret room that is two meters wide and ten meters long, there is a long row of white refrigerators in front of one wall.
The blue light in the fresh-keeping cabinet was cold and eerie. Countless transparent test tubes were stored on each shelf, and in those test tubes—
Filled with tempting pink liquid.
——Nightmare Poison!!!
Ruan Qi's breathing suddenly became rapid.
She walked quickly to the refrigerator and reached out to open the door.
But at this moment, beep! ! !
A shrill alarm suddenly rang out on the seventh floor underground.
In Room No. 1 next door, a beast-like roar exploded.
Ruan Qi's face changed when he heard the roar.
"Oh no! The experiment is out of control!"
She ran quickly towards Room 1, but halfway through, she suddenly turned back.
Bai Li followed her and asked, "Seventh girl, why did you come back?"
"Get the nightmare poison!" Ruan Qi opened the safe with swift movements, took out several test tubes containing poison, and put them into the pocket shockproof box that he had prepared long ago.
After putting the test tubes away, she took out the hard drive containing the nightmare data and stuffed it into the box as well.
"The experimental subject is out of control, and I don't know what will happen in a while. If I can't get out, I'll give the box to someone else and ask them to bring it back to my country for me!"
Ruan Qi's words sounded like a last will and testament, and Bai Li's eyelids twitched.
He subconsciously retorted, "Don't talk nonsense! How can we not get out? They're just a few test subjects. With the skills of you and the Xi family boy, can't you handle them? Bah! Stop talking nonsense!"
Bai Li wanted Ruan Qi to swallow back what he had just said, his beard standing on end in anxiety.
Ruan Qi laughed, locked the box, and ran while saying, "Okay, okay, I was wrong. I'm sure good people will be rewarded, blessed with a long life, and live a hundred years. Is that okay?"
"That's more like it." Bai Li snorted, turned around, and floated out behind Ruan Qi.
Room 1 next door.
The sudden loss of control of the experimental subject caused great chaos.
One member of the action team was injured, and Bai Yuchen and others were fighting with the experimental subject.
"Fuck, why did you suddenly lose control? Everything was fine just now."
"Hurry up and attack the back of his neck! Holy shit! How can this out-of-control experimental body be so strong?!"
The human potential of the experimental subjects who have been injected with poison has increased several times, and their physical strength and power are beyond the reach of ordinary people.
Fortunately, the people in the action team were not ordinary people. Bai Yuchen pounced on him, controlled the experimental subject with one hand, and swung a dagger with the other hand, stabbing it into the back of the other's neck.
Having been stabbed in the weakest spot, the subject's movements quickly became sluggish. His thick, ferocious limbs gradually returned to the normal thickness of a human male, and the crimson in his eyes gradually faded. Finally, his body tilted and he fell heavily to the ground.
Bai Yuchen cautiously reached out his hand and touched his neck.
No pulsation.
"Dead."
Everyone around him breathed a sigh of relief.
This was the scene Ruan Qi saw when she ran back from Room 2 next door. She looked at the experimental subject lying on the ground, then at the injured member of the operation team, and asked, "What happened? Is he injured?"
"It's just a minor injury, a punch to the chest, nothing serious." The injured member covered his chest and said with a wry smile, "I don't know what happened. I just opened the cabinet and the experimental subject rushed out. I didn't have time to dodge, so he punched me."
Ruan Qi frowned when he heard this.
Here's a 20,000-word chapter. My dog has been diagnosed with swollen lymph nodes and isn't doing well. He's been running back and forth between home and hospital these past few days. The doctor said if the lymph nodes don't go down after anti-inflammatory treatment, it could be lymphoma. Lymphoma is a terminal illness; if your little dog gets it, there's no way to save him. I've been feeling really down these past few days, and with all the trips to the hospital, my typing has been a bit slow. I estimate I have 20,000 words left, and I'll post them as soon as I'm finished. I'm deeply sorry for the inconvenience.
