Life Dungeon Game

This option is a compromise between the two of them. No matter who he chooses, they are actually Red's people, but it can indeed solve the problem of 'the candidate is not good' to some extent.

In this process, he can also try to 'find' some good partners.

While Coles was thinking, Reid showed no signs of urgency and was slowly sipping his coffee.

Finally, Coles nodded slightly, "Okay."

"Old friend, you're still the most considerate."

Reed laughed heartily.

This way, he 'solved' Coles' problem. The entire research institute was under his control, so it wouldn't really matter who Coles chose.

He quickly stood up. "Old friend, you can rest here for a while. I have something to do and need to leave for a bit. Or, you can go and choose the person you want right now."

After saying goodbye to Coles, he quickly left the office.

"Director?"

The female clerk was still standing at the door, quietly waiting for his instructions.

"Find someone to keep a close eye on him."

Reid's smile vanished instantly. He straightened his collar and said casually.

"Ok."

The clerk nodded quickly.

As she nodded, Reed had already walked back to his office door, pushed it open, and went inside.

Almost simultaneously, the door to the reception room was also opened, and the aged-looking Coles stared intently at the slowly closing office door.

Then he turned around, his face expressionless, and said, “Take me down to the ‘operating room’ and let me choose my own assistant.”

"Ok."

The clerk nodded slightly, and while she was texting Reid to ask him questions, she led Coles deeper into the research institute.

-

"how is the situation?"

The moment Reed pushed open the door, he looked at the officer sitting in the office.

Officers can also see the intelligence from those 'eyes'.

The officer stood up abruptly and said respectfully, "Those two targets are having lunch at a restaurant; it seems they came here specifically for lunch."

At this point, he tentatively asked, "Chief, could we be targeting the wrong person?"

Reed sat back in his chair, propped his chin on his hand, thought for a moment, and then shook his head. "No, these two are too suspicious. They're probably just Pete testing our reaction."

He raised his bracelet, glanced at the intelligence sent by 'Eyes', and waved for the officer to sit down. "No rush. They're still some distance from the 'nest.' Keep waiting; the fish will eventually take the bait."

The so-called 'nest' is a metaphor for 'Pet's' home.

"Ok."

The officer nodded and slowly sat down.

At that moment, Reed casually replied to the message sent by the clerk, instructing the clerk to go with Coles to select people.

He calmed down and sorted out the decision he had just made.

Finally, his suggestion that Coles choose the people himself was made in a rather urgent situation, without careful consideration, since he could not have anticipated that Coles would make such a request beforehand.

He thought it over carefully and confirmed that there wasn't much of a problem with his line of thinking.

The entire research institute is staffed by his people, and he's currently inside the institute. Even if Coles can cause trouble, what kind of trouble could he possibly cause?

Impossible, absolutely impossible.

Chapter 462 The Door Opens (Long Chapter, Requesting Monthly Tickets)

The research institute is located on a relatively high slope, which means that it is quite far from the city's underground drainage system in terms of vertical distance.

This gives the research institute more 'underground space' to utilize compared to other buildings.

The entire research institute building has 27 floors, including 21 floors above ground and 6 floors underground.

The first three floors above ground are for administration and reception, while the floors above are openly located laboratories or meeting rooms.

These things exposed to sunlight are actually of little use to the research institute.

The six underground floors are the core of the entire research institute. The first to fourth underground floors are all 'operating rooms' used to perform surgery on 'volunteers'.

The fifth basement level is the 'surgical equipment room,' used to store 'important equipment' needed for surgery. Only a few authorized personnel can enter this level.

The sixth underground level is accessible only to Red and a few people he has authorized.

"Young man, come out with me for a moment."

Coles was currently in an operating room on the second basement level. He pointed to an assistant who had just finished surgery, signaling him to come out and follow him.

At the same time, he turned around and said to the clerk next to him, "There's no need to discuss this anymore, just let him come along."

As the assistant walked out of the operating room looking somewhat bewildered, the female clerk in the pencil skirt gave the assistant a brief explanation of the situation, sounding both helpless and exhausted.

At this moment, several assistants dressed similarly followed behind Coles. They had all just finished surgery and had been called out by Coles.

When the first person was chosen, the clerk was somewhat relieved, thinking that Coles had selected the person so quickly that she could go back and report quickly.

Little did I know, that was just the beginning.

Next, Coles would wander around each operating room, calling out anyone he liked to chat with, and if the conversation didn't go well, he would send them back.

Along the way, Coles has already spoken with more than a dozen people and selected five backup candidates to follow. Well, with this one, that makes six.

"Hey you... bring this along too."

Just as the female clerk finished speaking with the assistant and calmed him down, Coles' voice came from the other end.

She quickly ran towards the direction from which the sound came. By then, Coles had already left several operating rooms and was standing in the corridor chatting happily with a somewhat thin assistant.

By the time the female clerk arrived, the two had just finished their conversation.

Coles saw the female clerk approaching, waved her off, and continued walking forward.

As the female clerk watched Coles walk away, she quickly said to the 'newcomer' in front of her, "Mr. Coles has already spoken with you, right? Do you know what we're supposed to do?"

"know."

The 'newcomer' nodded slightly.

The 'newcomer' in front of her was wearing thick surgical gowns and a light blue mask that covered his face, making it impossible to see his features. However, from his deep and steady eyes, the female clerk could tell that he was a rather 'mature' middle-aged man.

She nodded and quickly said, "Then you follow behind, don't ask any questions or say anything."

Having said that, she quickly caught up with Coles.

The slender newcomer glanced at her

He saw her back and then walked into the 'alternate' line at the back.

His overall demeanor was very natural, carrying a hint of suppressed tension and excitement from being unexpectedly valued by an important figure.

The group continued walking to deeper floors.

-

Reed turned his gaze away from the backs of the 'candidate assistants' on the monitor.

He vaguely sensed that something was wrong, that something was about to happen, but he couldn't find a reasonable logical explanation.

But this unease made him feel like he was sitting on pins and needles.

He forced himself to calm down and prepared to review the recent events again.

Just then, his bracelet vibrated, transmitting a message from the 'eye'.

"The 'target' has disappeared."

Reed jolted instantly.

Is this feeling of unease coming from here?

He immediately dialed the contact number for the "Eyes" team leader, "What's going on?"

"After the target came out of the restaurant, he walked around the perimeter. When he reached the outermost edge, he seemed to spot us, and then we lost him."

The other person answered quickly.

Yes, yes, yes, that's it.

Instead of showing anger, Reed's face lit up with joy.

Given Pete's caution, how could he have failed to notice these 'eyes'? He must have discovered the spy's surveillance long ago, which is why he kept pacing around, eating, and 'playing with' these eyes.

This 'disappearance' was not the beginning of the game, but its end. The opponent had grown tired of playing and chose to disappear directly from the 'eyes' sight, thus definitively showing that they had discovered these 'eyes'.

Similarly, this also means that Reed's plan has been seen through by the other party.

Reed sat up straight, took off the bracelet, turned off the microphone, and threw it on the table.

Next comes the real battle between him and 'Pete'.

A problem was presented to him.

After discovering his plan, what choice will 'Pet' make?

A normal person's first thought would be to run; if the plan fails, they would simply leave.

But would Pete do that?

The other party killed so many people in the research institute. If it were someone else, they would almost certainly face a manhunt and pursuit by the entire Limen City government.

However, the other party took a different approach, confronting him directly and forcing him to exchange evidence, guaranteeing that he would not involve the official forces of Limen City.

Just as he judged that the other party was about to leave by airship, the other party made a feint and entered the wilderness.

Every move his opponent made was unexpected.

'Pet' is not someone who likes to do things the usual way.

If 'Pete' runs away this time, it means that this appearance and deployment did not achieve its strategic goal, and his daughter is still in a dangerous situation.
