Through the large hole in the wall, you discovered another hidden room on the opposite side. Frantically searching for a chanism in your panic, you broke off a lever from under the lab bench.
"Boom!" The wall caved in once more, revealing another secret room before your eyes. Just as you stood up, you felt an imnse force from behind, and your spine crackled as if breaking, then you were hurled into the secret room like a cannon projectile.
Inside the secret room, there were only three cabinets, each housing a neatly-packaged reagent bottle. You crashed into the middle cabinet, and the reagent inside was gold. For so reason, upon seeing the golden reagent, almost subconsciously, without any hesitation or thought, you opened the cap, ready to down the golden liquid in one gulp.
"Bang!" Suddenly, a violent shake caused all the golden liquid to spill outside, and you didn’t get a taste of it.
"Such a waste."
No sooner had you turned around than a massive force struck you in the abdon, slamming you against the wall behind you. The cabinet behind shattered, and the back of your head hit a hard object. Then, a small hidden compartnt popped open on the wall beside the cabinet, housing an uncapped reagent filled with a milky white liquid.
Collapsed on the ground from the intense pain, the reagent from the small compartnt also tipped over due to the violent shaking, pouring right into your mouth that opened reflexively from the agony.
"Cough! Cough, cough!"
There wasn’t much of the milky white liquid in the reagent bottle, just enough for one mouthful, which you involuntarily swallowed.
You imdiately turned over and started coughing into the air. As the milky white liquid entered your body, you felt enveloped by a strange energy, making your whole body feel light. You then realized everything around you was spinning, and your vision even darkened. However, this sensation quickly disappeared like an illusion, and there seed to be no change in your body, prompting you to get up and inspect the reagent bottle from the hidden compartnt. The label on it bore two words—"Fly."
"Fly, my ass!"
You smashed the reagent bottle, but as you stood up, a peculiar thought flashed through your mind, and you shifted slightly just in ti to dodge a tendril that whizzed past, barely brushing your hair!
Several strands of hair floated down before your eyes.
Suddenly, the once dark room brightened, and your vision beca incredibly sharp.
From your angle, you could even see the pores on the monster’s skin. Strangely enough, your eyes now zood like a high-power cara, magnifying distant objects right before your eyes!
Sen Luo Eye restored?
No, it was only an improvent in vision, and compared to the Sen Luo Eye, this newfound ability was still far weaker.
But sothing is better than nothing!
"It seems these are indeed the real deal!"
You quickly took the blue and red reagent bottles from the other two cabinets.
The monster seed in a strange state. It kept roaring, but the roar diminished to whimpers, and the previously attacking tendrils withdrew. Its massive body started to tremble and boil once more.
Seeing this, you rushed out of the secret room and ran as fast as you could. The monster had blocked the doorway, your only exit being a gap in the upper right, likely caused by the monster’s tendrils swinging wildly. That was your only chance to break through!
Driven by an unknown impulse as you ran, you suddenly leaped into the air, your body streamlined and straight as a diver plunging into the water, and went straight through the gap!
You actually made it through!
After diving through the gap, you landed heavily on the ground, only a dozen ters from Hu Jing.
Without a second thought, you scrambled up to Hu Jing, picked her up, and ran like mad.
You dashed into the elevator, hit the button, and left that hellish place behind.
Upon reaching the eighteenth floor, you quickly closed the iron gate and started piling up everything in the lift entrance. Not feeling safe yet, you grabbed Hu Jing and ran wildly again. This ti, you didn’t dare take the elevator and sprinted down from the eighteenth floor, breathlessly sticking out your tongue, running for your life. You burst out of the high-rise, shook off a horde of zombies, and carrying Hu Jing, you plunged into the woods.
"Huff! Huff! Huff!... Uh-huh, huff—"
You gasped for air, then sat down on the grass leaning against a large tree.
"Brother Yun..."
"Su Su, Su Su, you’re awake!" As soon as you heard Hu Jing’s voice, you hurriedly sat up, staring at her with an intense gaze.
"Brother Yun, I’m going to die..."
"Su Su, you’re not going to die, you won’t!"
"Brother Yun, I lied to you."
"Ah?"
"There are so many things, I’ve lied to you about everything."
"Things from when we were kids don’t matter, don’t worry, I’ve already obtained the antidote, you’ll definitely recover!"
"Brother Yun... I really do like you..."
"Mhm, I know, I know."
"You don’t know... you don’t know... Before, you said there was Er Ya... Now, you have Zhao’er, even Er Ya doesn’t compare to her, I... I really wanted to give up... But I tried for a long ti, tried to love soone else, but it didn’t work... Once you etch yourself into my heart, there’s no room for anyone else..."
And at that mont, you fell silent.
"Brother Yun... I have many secrets, secrets you don’t know, secrets even grandma doesn’t know."
"What!?"
At the ntion of "grandma," your entire body shook!
You trembled as you looked at the beauty in your arms: "You... you are Xiao... i Yu!"
Cousin!
She’s going to die! How could Su Su be the cousin!
That ans, you’ve known Xiao i Yu for over a decade!
"It’s all out now... I’ve lied to so many people, I’ve even... deceived myself... Brother Yun, don’t look for Zhao’er anymore, she’s in New Zealand..."
With eyes wide open, you were stunned; you hadn’t expected her to have impersonated Zhao’er!
"Your... your Illusion Technique has beco so advanced that even my Sen Luo Eye couldn’t see through it!"
"Silly brother... the Sen Luo Eye, you’ve only developed less than one-tenth of it..."
You scratched your head vigorously, realizing that you were indeed—far too weak!
"Brother Yun... I’m sleepy... This journey, it’s been so interesting." With that, Hu Jing, whose eyes were originally brimming with tears, gave you that familiar cunning smile, "Brother’s heart finally has a place for , I’m so happy..."
"Su Su."
Seeing Hu Jing, oh no, Xiao i Yu close her eyes, you covered your forehead as if in pain.
Sigh!
Sigh!
Sigh!
How did you get entangled with this goblin!
Xiao i Yu, no, inside the array barrier, she is Hu Jing!
