Chapter 177: Sneaking into the Research Institute
"Reached the minus eleventh floor!"
After the elevator warning sounded, Lou Su and Bai Jinli, both wearing white coats, walked out of the elevator calmly.
The -11th floor was as bright as day. There were more staff in the lobby than above. The two walked without looking around, but they kept an eye on the situation around them.
"Did you see that? Those incubators are all babies." Bai Jinli whispered to Lou Su.
Lou Su replied: "Yes, someone is watching us. It must be because our faces are too unfamiliar. There are too many people here. Let's leave quickly."
They first found a staff member, but that person's work badge did not have sufficient authority, so they waited for the female researcher to go upstairs, knocked her out, and took her work badge before going down to the -11th floor.
Bai Jinli was wearing a female researcher's white coat. Although the coat was loose, it was still a little short for him, which was probably why the people in the hall noticed them.
They walked quickly through the hall and into a long corridor, which made those who were paying attention to them look away.
But the work badges they were wearing were fake, and there were two unconscious people stuffed in a corner, so they didn't have much time.
At this time, a tall man in a white coat came towards us, followed by a little girl with disheveled hair.
"It's Chu Xiqi." Bai Jinli paused and whispered to Lou Su.
Lou Su also saw it, but he did not stop and continued to walk forward. Seeing this, Bai Jinli had no choice but to follow him.
The researcher with a strange look in his eyes walked forward with his head held high, as if he didn't see Lou Su and Bai Jinli at all.
Upon seeing this, Lou Su stopped subconsciously, pulled Bai Jinli and nodded to the researcher belatedly.
The researcher snorted coldly and left quickly.
"What were you doing just now?" Bai Jinli looked around and saw that there was no one around, so he asked Lou Su.
"Xiao Qie is very smart. She would probably have noticed something strange if you paused just now. I stopped and nodded because I found that the researcher was very arrogant and enjoyed people looking up to him. Our nodding movements were a little slow, and it seemed to him that we were shocked. This made him very satisfied with our performance." Lou Su explained.
Bai Jinli understood, "He should be a researcher who has some status in this negative eleventh floor, but his ability is not outstanding. He needs recognition from others."
Lou Su didn't say anything. He took two steps to the corner in front and stuck his head out to look at the situation on the other side. The corridor was very long, with closed doors on both sides. No one was walking around, and there were no cameras on the wall.
"Follow me." Lou Su walked out first. The first room on the left was numbered 80, and the one on the right was numbered 79.
There was no window on the door, and he couldn't see what was inside. Lou Su used a wind blade to cut it with a force almost like a bullet, and then only a small scratch appeared on the door, and it was not cut open.
"It's bulletproof." Lou Su touched the scratch and said to Bai Jinli.
"What do you think is in here? Why would they use this kind of material to build a room?" Bai Jinli asked.
Lou Su touched the door, and had a bad feeling in his heart. He did not answer Bai Jinli but quickened his pace and walked forward, "Let's go to the front and take a look."
"What are you looking for?" When the two were about to go forward, a slightly childish voice suddenly sounded from behind.
Lou Su knew without looking back that it was Chu Xi who had returned. He knew that she had seen them exposing their flaws just now.
But he still turned around and looked at Chu Xichi, who was actually only nine years old and had not yet developed a secondary personality.
Just as he stood still, Chu Xichi's thin figure flashed forward from five meters away and took away the work badges on the chests of the two men.
"Huang Tingting?" Chu Xi looked at Bai Jinli, "Your name is Huang Tingting, it's a very special name."
Bai Jinli: “…”
Huang Tingting was the name of the female researcher who was knocked unconscious by them.
"You are not from the research institute, are you? That idiot just now didn't notice it at all, it's so funny." Chu Xixi crushed the two work cards into powder.
Bai Jinli was stunned. He turned to look at Lou Su and questioned him with his eyes: Was this really ten years ago? Did Chu Xiqi awaken his supernatural powers so early?
"Actually, we heard that there was a competition on the -11th floor recently, so we wanted to sneak down to get some specific information so that we can watch it." Lou Su asked Chu Xiqi, "Can you keep it to yourself? As long as you don't report us, I'll bring you a beautiful dress on the day of the competition."
When he heard the word "skirt", Chu Xichi's cold eyes lit up slightly.
But then she narrowed her eyes in vigilance, "Who told you there was a competition? Besides, I don't like skirts. I can't wear them in this shabby place."
As a test subject, all she could wear was a simple white shirt and white pants without any style at all.
It's so ugly that it's sad. It's not even as good-looking as a researcher's white coat.
"I heard it from Huang Tingting." Lou Su lied in front of the child without blinking.
Hearing the name "Huang Tingting", Chu Xixie looked at Bai Jinli.
Bai Jinli waved her hands hastily, "My name is not Huang Tingting. We stole this work badge."
"Got it, Huang Tingting." Chu Xi asked sarcastically, "You are researchers from above, right? Take me out to play for a while, and I won't report you."
Bai Jinli was speechless after losing his real name.
Lou Su said, "Aren't you going to participate in the competition? Is it okay to take you out? You have a tracker on you, and it will be discovered. By then, we will both be dead even if you don't report it."
After he finished speaking, Chu Xichi suddenly narrowed his eyes, raised his thin arms and attacked up the building.
Lou Su reacted very quickly and dodged, otherwise he would have been beaten to pieces by Chu Xizhao. Seeing him dodge, she immediately changed her target and attacked Bai Jinli.
With the support of supernatural powers, Bai Jinli dodged easily.
Chu Xichi only used two moves before stopping. Then she stood there and said to the wristband that flashed green light from time to time: "If you find any illegal entry, immediately close all entrances to the institute and send someone to strangle them!"
Hearing her words, Bai Jinli panicked, "She's going to mess with me, what should I do?"
He found that the Chu Xichi in front of him was much more difficult to deal with than the little girl who followed Chu Xihen ten years later, and she did not play by the rules at all!
"Don't panic, she didn't call for help. I guess she wanted to test whether we have the ability to take her away from here." Lou Su stared at Chu Xiqi without any panic in his eyes.
Chu Xi, who was seen through, frowned in displeasure, "Who are you? What are you doing here? If you don't tell me the truth, I will really call for help!"
Her wristband didn't have a communication function, so she was just trying to scare the two of them.
But this is the -11th floor of the HBP Research Institute, and it would be too easy for her to call for help here.
Lou Su was also very clear about this, so he didn't intend to hide it any longer and said bluntly: "We are here to look for Xi. Do you know him?"
Upon hearing this word, Chu Xichi's pale face instantly turned gloomy.
"I don't know him. You guys look for him yourselves. I'm going to go back and rest!" Chu Xixi said, then he yawned, walked past the two of them and went back to his room.
Seeing that she was walking forward, Chen Fenglousui winked at Bai Jinli, asking him to follow.
Chu Xichi walked all the way to the end on the left and stopped in front of room number two.
Opposite was Room No. 1. Lou Su looked at the number on the door and his intuition told him that Chu Xihen was inside!
