Shen Jingqi tried to find some clues from that scientist.
However, as he rummaged through the scientist's pockets, he unexpectedly discovered a yellowed photograph. The photograph showed a young and beautiful woman, her smile radiant and warm.
He carefully scrutinized the woman in the photograph, trying to capture a hint of a clue from her face. Suddenly, he was surprised to find that the woman's face resembled someone he had seen somewhere!
Who was she? He struggled to recall, trying to piece together her face from the fragments of memory. Suddenly, a flash of insight crossed his mind. That person, she looked very much like Qin Si!
Shen Jingqi felt a strong sense of shock and confusion. Why would Qin Si appear in a photograph of this mysterious laboratory? What secret was hidden here? What connection did he have with this laboratory?
He felt a severe headache attack, as if something was exploding in his mind. He painfully held his head, trying to alleviate the unbearable pain. However, at that moment, he suddenly heard a deep and vague voice.
"Mu Zi... Mu Zi..." The voice seemed to come from deep within his heart, or as if it echoed from a corner of the room. He looked up in terror, but saw nothing. Yet his intuition told him that the voice was approaching him, trying to establish some kind of connection.
He felt a strong sense of fear approaching. Holding the document bag, he slowly walked towards the source of the sound.
However, when he reached the end of the room, he found it deserted. He felt a strong sense of defeat, as if completely defeated by this mysterious place. Just then, he suddenly noticed a blackboard on the wall.
The blackboard was covered in dense formulas and symbols, as if a complex puzzle waiting to be solved. Shen Jingqi stared intently at the blackboard, trying to find some clues from it. Suddenly, his gaze fixed on a name—"Mu Zi."
Shen Jingqi felt as if he was being drawn into a giant vortex. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ novᴇl(ꜰ)ire.ɴet
Following the source of the sound, Shen Jingqi saw a massive computer, its screen flickering with complex codes and data. He quickly walked to the computer, trying to find some clues. However, when he attempted to open the computer, he found it required a password to access.
He sighed in frustration, then attempted to guess the password. However, no matter how he tried, he could not successfully enter the computer system.
Then, suddenly, he thought of a possible method. He quickly pulled out his phone and dialed a familiar number. A deep and powerful voice came from the other end: "Hello? Jingqi?"
"It's me, Haotian," he said in a low voice, "I found a mysterious laboratory that might hide important secrets. I need your help."
The other end was silent for a moment, then came a resolute voice: "Tell me your location, I'll come over right away."
Shen Jingqi felt a surge of joy; he knew he finally had a glimmer of hope. He quickly told Yang Haotian the location of the laboratory and then waited for his arrival.
As time ticked by, Shen Jingqi felt a strong sense of anxiety and unease.
Just then, he suddenly heard a slight sound. He jerked his head up and discovered a blurry figure standing at the entrance of the room. He shouted in terror and quickly raised his gun. However, when he saw the figure's face clearly, he was surprised to find that it was his friend—Li Hao!
"Li Hao! How did you get here?" he asked in shock.
"I received your message for help," Li Hao said in a low voice, "I came over immediately."
Shen Jingqi felt a strong sense of gratitude and relief. He knew that with Li Hao's help, he might be able to uncover the truth about this mysterious laboratory. He quickly told Li Hao about the previous events, and then the two began to search for clues together.
They carefully examined every corner of the laboratory, trying to find some clues that could explain the secrets here. However, aside from the blackboard and computer, they found nothing else. It seemed like the scene had been thoroughly cleaned, with all evidence deliberately destroyed.
They felt a strong sense of confusion and frustration. However, just then, Li Hao suddenly noticed a small mark on the computer screen. He carefully observed the mark, then said in a low voice, "This mark... I've seen it somewhere before."
Shen Jingqi's heart skipped a beat; he felt that this mark might have some connection to the mysterious laboratory. He stared intently into Li Hao's eyes, trying to capture a hint of a clue from his gaze.
Every second of waiting felt interminably long.
Suddenly, Shen Jingqi was drawn to a massive glass container, flickering in the dark.
When he walked up to it, he opened his eyes wide in disbelief. The glass container held a person! That person was completely naked, eyes tightly shut, as if in a deep sleep. And the person's face was identical to Qin Si's!
Shen Jingqi felt a strong sense of shock and confusion. Why was Qin Si here? Why was she placed in this glass container? What secret was truly hidden here?
He tried to approach the glass container, but just then, he felt a strong electric current emanating from the container. He screamed in terror and quickly retreated.
Shen Jingqi took a deep breath, trying to calm the turbulence in his heart. Then, he cautiously approached the glass container again. He carefully observed the devices and circuits on the container, trying to find some clues. However, just when he was about to touch the container, he suddenly heard a low and eerie voice.
"Don't touch it!" The voice seemed to come from the darkness, as well as from deep within his heart. He looked up in terror but saw nothing. Yet his intuition told him that the voice was real, and he must heed its warning.
He sighed helplessly and retreated to the corner of the room.
When will Yang Haotian arrive?
Shen Jingqi muttered to himself.
The situation inside was too bizarre for him to comprehend.
The photograph, the person in the bottle, all pointed towards Qin Si.
What on earth was going on?
While Shen Jingqi was lost in thought, the phone suddenly rang.
Shen Jingqi pressed the answer button, but could not get through.
Shen Jingqi saw the message pop up.
[Yang Haotian]: Jingqi, your address, it shows nonexistent on the search engine.
