Chapter 397 Harp System, how could it be him?
"How do we save them? Should we just smash the glass?"

Cheng Jiashu then asked, glancing around for a suitable tool.

"no!"

The female researcher immediately shook her head, her eyes filled with wariness:

"You have to be very careful in everything you do here to avoid triggering the alarm."

"The life support devices on the experimental subjects are all connected to the central system, transmitting data in real time. If there is any error, it will affect the normal operation of the entire laboratory."

As she spoke, she walked to the control panel next to her, found a control box with a number on it, and pressed the buttons one by one to turn off several sets of operations.

Several seconds passed, and the incubation room remained completely silent, without the slightest movement.

"I remember... the operating sequence should be like this..."

A hint of nervousness appeared on the female researcher's face, and she muttered to herself.

Although her usual job didn't involve directly operating these life support systems, she had secretly observed her colleagues' operations before, and was now trying hard to recall them.

Suddenly, a low, buzzing sound arose.

Immediately afterwards, Goro Majima's body inside the cylinder began to convulse violently, and the bubbles that emerged became even more dense and chaotic.

Fine beads of sweat began to appear on the female researcher's forehead. She looked nervous and bit her lower lip tightly.

In his anxious contemplation, he seemed to remember something and tried pressing a button.

The buzzing sound grew louder instantly, and the blue liquid inside dozens of glass cylinders was being drawn away at a visible speed.

The roar of the machines echoed in the empty culture chamber, sounding extremely jarring.

Fortunately, the petri dish in which Goro Mashima was located also began to respond.

As the blue liquid was drained, the tubes attached to his head and back also detached.

Upon seeing this, the female researcher's face lit up with ecstasy. Without thinking of anything else, she quickly pressed the last button.

With a muffled thud, the hatch at the front of the glass cylinder finally opened.

Majima Goro tumbled out of there, soaking wet and covered in slime.

His body was still convulsing violently, and he was making a hoarse "hoarse" sound in his throat. His bloodshot eyes slowly opened, and he seemed to have woken up.

Ignoring the slime covering him, the female researcher immediately ran over and pulled a syringe and injection from her bag.

Then, he skillfully injected the drug into the patient's neck.

Majima Goro's violently convulsing body quickly calmed down, and he fell back into a coma.

Clearly, it was a powerful tranquilizer, and she was prepared for it.

The female researcher then struggled to hug Goro Majima and try to help him up.

Unfortunately, I was too weak and could only drag him forward a few steps.

Seeing this, Cheng Jiashu stepped forward and grabbed Majima Goro's arm.

The latter's burly body seemed as light as a sack in Cheng Jiashu's hands, and he lifted it up in an instant.

“I’ll take him with me.”

Cheng Jiashu said succinctly, "Go get the USB drive."

Gratitude flashed in the female researcher's eyes, and she nodded emphatically:
"Thank you!"

The two walked out of the incubation room one after the other.

Cheng Jiashu carried Majima Goro on his back, while the female researcher quickly returned to the data room to retrieve the USB drive.

Just as they were about to pass through that corridor again, Cheng Jiashu suddenly stopped.

"Did you hear anything?"

He suddenly frowned, as if listening intently.

The female researcher shook her head in astonishment:
"No, do you mean the sound of the air conditioner blowing air?"

Cheng Jiashu's brows furrowed even deeper. He took a slight breath, a hint of doubt flashing through his mind:
"Am I hallucinating, or has my illness relapsed?"

A faint voice whispered in my ear, as if calling my name in a low voice.

It carried an eerie sense of familiarity, much like the gentle humming his mother used to lull him to sleep when he was a child.

How can this be?

A strong sense of unease welled up in Cheng Jiashu's heart.

The female researcher did not notice his unusual behavior.

She walked to the computer; the progress bar on the screen was nearing its end, but the transfer was not yet complete.

The two could only continue to wait.

Cheng Jiashu's heart pounded more and more, and his hallucinations seemed to become clearer and clearer.

The eerie call seemed to whisper in his ear, luring him toward an unknown abyss.

She is even more gentle and considerate than a mother, making people reluctant to part with her.

No.

It must be his deceased mother calling him.
Cheng Jiashu subconsciously raised his hand and covered his forehead.

The female researcher noticed his unusual behavior and asked with concern:

"what happened to you?"

Cheng Jiashu waved his hand, indicating that he was fine.

"It's just a little low blood sugar."

A few more minutes passed, and the data transmission was finally completed.

The female researcher quickly pulled out a specially modified USB drive, which had been technically altered by the special search team, and put it into her bag.

He then glanced at his watch, his face showing anxiety again, and urged:
"Alright, let's hurry up and go. It's already 10:30, and the cleaning time is about to start. The guards will be coming in soon!"

Cheng Jiashu did not respond.

He stood there blankly, his gaze passing over the female researcher's shoulder and staring straight into the dark depths of the passage behind him.

The tightly closed iron gate was now slightly ajar.

A red glow flickered within, and it seemed as if grayish-white smoke was slowly seeping out from it.

That strange calling sound came from something hidden behind the door.

Cheng Jiashu's eyes also emitted a strange and dark light at this moment.

It's as if stars are spinning deep within his pupils, capable of piercing through all illusions and discerning the deepest secrets.

"What it is?"

Cheng Jiashu gasped and muttered to himself.

....................................

The rain fell incessantly throughout the night, enveloping the entire Noah Building.

In a room on the top floor, candlelight flickered in the darkness.

The CD player is playing a white noise sound of an approaching storm.

The air trembled slightly, like ripples on the surface of water.

Within this seemingly solidified spiritual field, a faint ripple suddenly spread outwards.

As Jasangyi sat quietly, his tightly closed eyes darted around rapidly beneath his eyelids.

"There is."

His voice rang directly in Luo Lie's mind, carrying the excitement of a hunter discovering the tracks of his prey.

“A mental fluctuation is trying to penetrate my network. It’s very subtle and cunning. It wants to contact someone outside.”

"it is good."

Luo Lie, standing behind him, immediately gave the order in a deep voice:

"Lock onto him, but don't alert him yet. We must track down that guy hiding in the shadows."

"Locating...source of the fluctuation...found!"

A hint of surprise crept into Jasangyi's voice.

"It's him?"

"Who?"

"and many more."

Jasanyi did not answer immediately; the voice in the mental link suddenly rose in pitch, filled with astonishment.

"There's more than one source of the fluctuation. I sensed an even stronger fluctuation coming from the direction of the experimental area!"

Luo Lie's brows furrowed instantly.

Has someone broken into the experimental area? Why are the monitoring system and laser network unresponsive?
“I understand.” Jia Sanyi’s mind raced.

"It must have been that mole who secretly sent the action signal to the enemy waiting outside. While we were focused on the conference room, he seized the opportunity to sneak into the laboratory and steal the data."

He paused, then continued:

"I'll send you the locations of these two targets first. Luo Lie, you need to be especially careful with the target in the experimental area, don't let him escape easily."

"He likely possesses some kind of stealth or spatial ability, otherwise it would be impossible for him to evade all physical surveillance."

"rest assured."

Luo Lie's voice was cold and hard: "He absolutely cannot escape."

As he spoke, he quickly raised his hand, pressed the switch on the headset, and issued commands into the communication channel.

"Black Hawk, immediately seal off all exits of the experimental area and activate the 'Harp' system."

"Yes."

A short, firm response came through the headset.

The "harp" system is not a conventional sound and light alarm device.

It releases a very low-frequency infrasound wave into the enclosed space of the entire experimental area.

This sound cannot be detected by the human ear, but it can directly affect the cerebral cortex, causing serious mental interference to the user.

Between the layers of metal walls, infrasound waves will constantly reflect, echo, and resonate, eventually forming an invisible mental storm.

In mild cases, it can cause splitting headaches and loss of control over superpowers; in severe cases, it can lead to mental breakdown and coma.

In any case, this was enough to temporarily interrupt any ability that required focused concentration, creating an excellent opportunity to capture the mysterious person who had infiltrated the building.

Luo Lie clenched his fists, his knuckles cracking.

He turned his head and looked behind him. In the darkness, a dozen figures wearing tactical masks stood silently, like lurking predators.

In this operation to capture the mole, the Noah organization seemed to have focused most of its efforts on the conference hall, making the defenses of the experimental area appear somewhat weak.

But this was precisely the flaw that Luo Lie deliberately created.

The other party showed extraordinary patience, delaying the disclosure of their information.

Since that's the case, let's just create an opening and let the other party think they've seized a rare opportunity, so they'll willingly jump into this carefully prepared trap.

In Zhuo Feng's words, this is called "luring the enemy into a trap."

Luo Lie's lips curled into a cold smile.

Could this infiltrator be the legendary "White Owl"?

His abilities were indeed mysterious and unpredictable; if we hadn't been prepared, he would have almost succeeded.

Fortunately, he had invited Jasanyi, a master in the spiritual field, to lay an invisible net covering the entire building in advance.

Even while deliberately retreating and feigning weakness, they did not forget that the experimental zone was the core that needed the most protection in the entire game.

Now, the physical "harp" system has been activated, and the mental Skynet system has also locked onto its target.

Trapped in this double trap, even if he possessed the ability to traverse the heavens and the earth, he would find it impossible to escape.

Luo Lie made a simple tactical hand gesture to the combat squad waiting for orders.

There were no words, no sounds.

The elite pursuers instantly understood the order, their movements synchronized and silent as they followed Luo Lie out of the room.

"Keep a close eye on them, and notify me of any movements they make."

Before leaving, Luo Lie issued one last instruction.

"clear."

Jasanyi remained seated, like a rock in a raging torrent, the most crucial link in this vast network.

His consciousness had fully expanded, transforming into countless invisible tentacles that tightly entwined the conference hall and laboratory areas, tracking the spiritual light hiding in the darkness.

The elevator doors slid open silently and then closed quickly.

The floor numbers on the screen jumped around, as if counting down to an impending massacre.

The elevator descended rapidly, heading towards the 87th floor.

That is, the core area of ​​Noah Pharmaceuticals, located two floors below the top floor.

The lights inside the elevator came on, reflecting Luo Lie's cold, dark face against the metal walls.

At this moment, he also put on a tactical mask to block infrasound.

In his mind, Jasanyi's telepathic message rang out again.

"The target in the experimental area is moving rapidly. He seems to have sensed something and his actions have become somewhat impatient."

Luo Lie's expression remained unchanged.

It's perfectly normal for prey to realize it's fallen into a trap and start struggling.

Ding.

All three elevators arrive at the designated floor simultaneously.

The metal doors slid open to both sides, revealing an alloy passageway illuminated by cold white lights.

The air was filled with the smell of disinfectant.

At the end of the passage is the first high-pressure airtight door leading to the experimental area.

In the night vision device, faint red beams of light could be seen; that was the laser detection grid in operation.

Luo Lie stepped out of the elevator first, raised his hand, and made a gesture again.

The team members behind him immediately spread out in a fan shape, raised their assault rifles, and stepped forward.

Their black combat suits absorbed all the surrounding glimmer of light, and the joints of their powered exoskeletons made not a single grinding sound.

The entire team moved with ghostly silence.

....................................

Rain pattered against the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, blurring the city's dazzling night view.

The noise in the conference hall gradually subsided.

Even the most proactive and loyal cadres fell silent at this moment, as if they had almost run out of saliva from talking.

The air was filled with the complex aroma of cigars and tea, and a subtle tension.

The wall clock ticked incessantly, as if counting down something.

Feng Jincai sat on the sofa, leisurely sipping his tea.

Suddenly his eyebrows twitched, his expression changed slightly, and then he coughed.

"Alright, everyone, although it's not midnight yet, I think it's about time."

He glanced at his watch and stood up.

Then, he walked to the silver metal box, seemingly preparing to destroy the documents stored inside.

Everyone present held their breath upon seeing this.

Xu Hao's fingers unconsciously gripped the armrests of the chair.

Although Chen Chen appeared calm on the surface, his heart couldn't help but beat faster.

However, Feng Jincai suddenly stopped what he was doing, turned around, and his smile became extremely eerie.

"However, before we destroy this secret, we have something more important to do."

At this moment, Zhuo Feng also straightened up instantly, his cold gaze like a knife, slowly sweeping over everyone.

"That means following everyone's suggestion and finding the traitor who stabbed us in the back!"

As he spoke, he slowly raised his hand and pointed to the many cadres and leaders of the surrounding forces present.

In an instant, Xu Hao and Chen Chen's hearts jumped into their throats.

They subconsciously tensed their muscles, their throats went dry.

He almost thought that the next second, Zhuo Feng's hand, which was pointing at the traitor, would freeze on him, pronouncing their fate.

However, Zhuo Feng's gaze passed over them.

Ultimately, the final result was on someone no one expected.

His finger pointed directly at the man who had just been laughing heartily, filled with righteous indignation, and acting more loyal than anyone else.

"Ma Biao, do you have anything else to say?"

The whole place was dead silent.

Everyone stared in disbelief at Ma Biao, whose face was filled with astonishment.

Xu Hao and Chen Chen were also stunned.

Holy crap, how could it be him?
