Everyone’s movements stopped abruptly.
“You idiots, what are you standing around for! Get to it!”
“Liao Feng!”
Yu Wan’er’s furious shout echoed, her mind useless as a demon bell.
Xu Qian pushed the door open, and blue light flooded out.
In the center sat a transparent glass cabinet, bathed in light from below. Inside, a brain the size of half a person pulsed.
Twisted, segmented objects were piled together, pale white and incredibly eerie.
Hearing the noise, the thing turned, its gaze clearly faltering for a moment.
Then it burst into laughter, its body twitching with excitement.
The Yu family had mobilized all their forces to search for her for over a year with no news. Now, she had walked right into their hands?
“Xu Qian, you have the nerve to come to my territory!”
“Guards!”
Her voice, sharp and piercing, threatened to rupture eardrums.
Xu Qian let out a cold sneer, “Do you think anyone will come to save you?”
She swung her right arm, severing the heads of four motionless figures with a single blow.
Blood sprayed onto the glass, slowly trickling down.
The thing seemed to cower, recoiling into the blue light.
“Trash! All of you are trash!”
The demon bell’s chime gradually ceased. Xiang Jintian pulled aside a curtain and stepped in.
Yu Wan’er’s face lit up with excitement upon seeing the man. She darted around the glass tank, suddenly unafraid.
“Xu Qian, another new man? You have so many, don’t you? Didn’t that last guy die for you?”
Ice and snow seemed to settle in Xu Qian’s eyes as she whispered, “Shut up.”
She dared to bring that up. Ah Bai had almost, *almost* died!
“Hahahaha, afraid your new lover will find out?”
“Pitiful, your old flame risked life and limb for you!”
Xiang Jintian stood calmly behind Xu Qian.
No matter what happened, he would always be her support.
No man wouldn’t be curious about his girlfriend’s past, but a mature man wouldn't fret over such things at this moment.
There would be plenty of time later.
Xu Qian’s eyes reddened. She opened her mouth but couldn't utter a word.
Yu Wan’er was right. She truly didn't deserve his complete affection.
But…
“So what? Today is your death day.”
Her voice was soft and cold, laced with intense hatred.
Xu Qian’s thoughts flickered, and a Super Lollipop appeared in her palm.
Without hesitation, she struck the glass with all her might. The glass shattered, scattering across the floor.
“Xu Qian! You think breaking the glass can kill me? Impossible!”
“Activate bio-mode!”
Suddenly, intense blue light enveloped the brain, coiling around it, tightening its grip.
“Let’s see how you kill me! Hahahaha.”
“Summon the patrol!”
Immediately, something slid down from above.
Soon, iron bars descended, forming a cage around them.
They were trapped.
Numerous thin light beams emerged from above. As the light hit the ground, it emitted a sizzling sound.
The two moved at lightning speed, dodging the beams.
[System, any way to resolve this?]
She had anticipated difficulties, but not that they would possess such powerful weapons.
Had the Yu family’s technology reached this level?
[Ding, destroy the bars and escape. The system has no countermeasures for bio-weapons.]
[… ]
Xu Qian glanced back at the brain enveloped in blue light.
She wouldn't give up!
With a subtle thought, a gun appeared in her hand.
Her dark eyes gleamed with cold determination. She pulled the trigger, piercing through an iron bar.
Creating an opening to escape.
“Jintian, you go first.”
