The blood-stained fragments of isolation suit smeared a shocking scarlet on the bronze key.
The golden lines on the fragments, like some mysterious text, complement the ancient symbols on the key, as if they are having a silent conversation.
"Chen Yao, the lines point here." Mou Xuan's voice was low and firm, with a barely perceptible tremor.
He took a deep breath and inserted the key into the keyhole in front of him.
Click——
A crisp sound of a mechanism broke the silence underground.
Almost at the same time, a teeth-grinding sound of metal friction was heard above the head.
Mou Xuan looked up suddenly and saw the bronze chains on the dome of the secret room winding down like a giant python, heading straight for him and Shen Yao with unstoppable momentum!
At the critical moment, Mou Xuan activated his time ability of 0.3 seconds.
The world seemed to be slowed down countless times in his eyes. The falling chains, flying dust, and even the tiny particles in the air were all clearly visible.
He grabbed Chen Yao's wrist and rolled to the side, barely avoiding the fatal blow.
Boom!
The bronze chain slammed heavily to the ground, stirring up a cloud of gravel and dust.
A dark hole suddenly appeared where the chain was originally located, and a spiral downward corridor appeared in front of the two people.
The walls on both sides of the corridor were covered with dense golden emblems, flashing strangely in the dim light.
"Watch your step!" Chen Yao suddenly exclaimed and grabbed Mou Xuan's wrist.
Mou Xuan looked down and saw that a piece of emblem under his feet suddenly came to life the moment it was touched by his shoes!
It was like a tiny black snake, twisting its body and slowly rising from the ground, emitting a disgusting stench.
"What the hell?!" Mou Xuan couldn't help but swear.
With quick eyes and hands, he tore off the piece of isolation suit stained with golden patterns on his body and pressed it hard on the ground.
A magical scene happened!
The golden lines seemed to have life as they spread rapidly, swallowing up the snake-like black mist like a hungry wolf pouncing on its prey, leaving no trace behind.
"This is... Chen Yao's DNA path." Mou Xuan looked at the golden lines spreading on the ground, and a thought suddenly flashed through his mind.
He recalled the golden patterns he had seen on the isolation suit before, which were extremely similar to the tattoos on Chen Yao's body.
Could it be that these lines are some kind of biometric identification system, and only people with the same DNA can pass?
Without time to think, Mou Xuan pulled Chen Yao and ran quickly downwards in the direction indicated by the golden lines.
The spiral corridor seemed to have no end. The two seemed to be in a huge maze, and everything around them seemed eerie and strange.
Finally, they came to the end of the corridor.
A huge bronze door blocked their way.
In the center of the access control, a holographic image suddenly appeared - it was the person who betrayed Mou Xuan in his previous life!
Before Mou Xuan could react, a cold voice suddenly came from all directions: "Come and catch me, Reborn."
This figure is none other than the leader of the Fan faction! He actually set an ambush here!
Mou Xuan activated his supernatural power for 0.5 seconds, and in a flash, he arrived in front of the access control box in an instant.
He bit his finger and dripped blood onto the key.
The blood merged with the patterns on the key, emitting a dazzling light.
At this moment, the patterns on the access control suddenly came alive, resonating with the patterns on the key to form a three-dimensional map.
The map clearly shows the location of Chen Yao's body, as well as an area marked "Twin Training Chamber".
"You will never be able to solve it..." The voice of the leader of the Fan forces sounded again, with a hint of teasing and sarcasm.
Before he finished his words, several mechanical tentacles suddenly emerged from the wall and attacked Mou Xuan like poisonous snakes!
Mou Xuan sneered and wrapped the blood-stained isolation suit fragments around the mechanical tentacles.
"0.7 seconds of superpowers!" Mou Xuan growled, "I want the biometric identification code of the incubator!" The fragments of the isolation suit stuck precisely to the mechanical tentacles like a red-hot iron.
The crackling sound of electric current, accompanied by a burning smell, spread in the small space.
These high-tech gadgets instantly turned into scrap metal in the face of the apocalyptic superpowers.
"That's it? Are you just tickling me here?" Mou Xuan spat, his eyes locked on the three-dimensional map on the screen, his hands fluttering like butterflies, operating quickly on the bronze key.
The quantum barrier began to flash violently as the golden lines penetrated it crazily. The scarlet light looked very much like the restless laser lights in a disco.
"They... are copying my consciousness..." Chen Yao's quantum afterimage suddenly pointed to the inside of the incubator. Her voice was as weak as a mosquito's hum, but the content instantly made Mou Xuan's anger level max out.
"Fuck, consciousness replication? These old bastards are really good at it!"
Before Mou Xuan could recover from the shock, a baby-like cry suddenly came from the dome of the laboratory. The sound was so sharp and piercing that it made people's scalps numb.
Then, a mechanical body covered with bronze patterns slowly descended from the ceiling like a giant spider.
"Oh, a heavyweight player is coming?" Mou Xuan narrowed his eyes and stared at the mechanical prosthesis.
That thing was emitting a cold metallic glow, and it looked like it was not something that could be easily messed with.
What made Mou Xuan even more uneasy was that the hilt of the knife in the mechanical body's hand was engraved with the same emblem as the leader of Fan's forces, and the two forces vaguely produced some kind of resonance.
Killer Zhou's scarlet electronic eyes swept across the entire scene, finally fixing their gaze on Mou Xuan. A creepy smile appeared on the corners of his mouth, like a demon crawling out of hell.
The battle is about to begin!
However, at this moment, a faint golden glow suddenly appeared on the surface of Killer Zhou's mechanical body. The originally hideous bronze lines seemed to have been eroded by something and began to twist and deform...
"Your lines are being assimilated..."
