You went on a blind date and presented an A-level wanted criminal as a meeting gift?

"Tap! Tap! Tap!"

Lin Chen's footsteps echoed in the quiet, gloomy corridor.

Blindfolded, he used the 3D map constructed in his mind by his [God-level Hearing] and [God-level Danger Perception] to approach the core intensive care unit at the end of the corridor step by step.

The flashing lights and infrasound around him, which would drive an ordinary person crazy in an instant, were like low-grade speakers in a cheap nightclub to Lin Chen. Apart from being noisy, they did not have any real effect on mental interference.

Finally, Lin Chen stopped.

Before him stood an incredibly heavy security door, covered in dark red rust.

A faint, unsettling pale light shone through the crack in the door.

Without any hesitation, Lin Chen suddenly raised his long and powerful right leg, his thigh muscles tensing instantly, and with terrifying force, he kicked the iron gate hard in the center!

"boom--!!!"

A deafening explosion!

The security door, weighing several hundred kilograms, along with the expansion bolts on the door frame, was ripped out of its base by Lin Chen's kick!

The entire door flew straight into the ward like a cannonball, crashing heavily onto the concrete floor and kicking up clouds of dust.

Lin Chen strode into the ward, stepping over the broken bricks and rubble scattered on the ground.

He raised his hand and ripped off the black cloth covering his eyes.

Once his eyes adjusted to the glaring incandescent light in the ward, Lin Chen's pupils suddenly contracted, and an overwhelming killing intent surged forth from his body, making the temperature in the entire ward seem to drop to freezing point!

In the very center of the ward, there was a rusty electric chair.

Lin Chen's mother, Shen Manyun, is currently being tightly bound to an electric chair with thick hemp rope!

Her mouth was sealed with a thick layer of industrial tape, her hair was disheveled, and her face was as pale as paper.

Seeing Lin Chen burst through the door, Shen Manyun's eyes, which were filled with terror and despair, instantly welled up with tears of emotion.

She struggled desperately, making "woo-woo" sounds in her throat, as if telling Lin Chen to run away and ignore her.

"Mom, don't be afraid, your son is here."

Lin Chen took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the violent urge to destroy everything within him, and kept his voice as soft as possible.

After confirming that his mother had suffered a great shock but had no obvious injuries, Lin Chen slowly turned his head and focused his gaze on the figure behind Shen Manyun.

It was a man wearing a loose white coat.

He wore a bizarre clown mask and was playing with a pocket watch-like device with an extremely complex design and its surface engraved with various mysterious runes.

"Hehehe..."

Beneath the mask came the Thousand-Faced Man's grating, unpleasant laughter, altered by a voice changer.

"Lin Chen, I have to admit, you are indeed a rare genius."

"The psychological traps and infrared devices I set up in the corridors would kill even the world's top agents."

"I'm truly amazed that you managed to get here unscathed!"

The Thousand-Faced Man clapped as he walked out from behind Shen Manyun, his eyes filled with condescending mockery and a frantic desire for control.

However, geniuses are often arrogant.

"Do you think that by kicking open this door you can become a dutiful son who saves his mother?"

"Wrong! Utterly wrong!"

The man with a thousand faces suddenly spread his arms wide, like a mad artist performing his final act on stage, and his voice suddenly rose in pitch.

"The moment you stepped into this room, the moment you opened your eyes and saw me, you had already lost!"

"A complete and utter defeat!"

Lin Chen stood still, his eyes cold, a mocking smile playing on his lips.

"With that shabby pocket watch you're holding? Are you planning to give me a nostalgic magic trick?"

"A broken pocket watch? Hahaha! Ignorant!"

The man with a thousand faces seemed to have been greatly insulted.

He suddenly raised the pocket watch-like instrument in his hand and pressed down hard on a red button with his thumb!

"Buzz—!!!"

The instant the button was pressed, countless projectors suddenly lit up on all four walls of the intensive care unit!

These projectors projected countless wildly spinning black and white spiral patterns onto the wall!

The rotation speed and angle of these patterns completely violate the visual processing logic of the human brain, and just looking at them will cause strong dizziness and nausea!

At the same time, a piercing infrasound wave, ten times stronger than that in the corridor, erupted from the speakers hidden around the ward!

This is a terrifying sound wave that can directly penetrate the human skull and create a violent resonance with the cerebral cortex!

"Lin Chen! This is the 'Ultimate Version of the Mind Maze,' the culmination of ten years of hard work, combining cutting-edge neuroscience and deep hypnosis theory!"

The Thousand-Faced Man laughed wildly amidst the frantically flashing spiral pattern, his voice filled with morbid fanaticism.

"In this magnetic field, your vision and hearing will be instantly deprived, and your brain's defense mechanisms will be completely paralyzed within 0.1 seconds! No matter how strong your willpower is, you absolutely cannot resist this physical-level hypnosis that directly targets the brain nerves!"

As the Thousand-Faced Man finished speaking.

Lin Chen's body stiffened abruptly!

His eyes, which were originally sharp as knives, instantly lost all focus, becoming empty and dull.

His expression froze, and he stood there blankly, like a puppet that had lost its soul.

"Clatter."

The pistol that Lin Chen had been holding slipped limply from his fingers and fell onto the hard concrete floor with a crisp sound.

"Waaaaah!!!"

Seeing this, Shen Manyun, who was strapped to the electric chair, burst into tears and desperately twisted her body, trying to wake her son, but to no avail.

"Hahaha! See that? This is what happens when you go against me!"

When the Thousand-Faced Man saw Lin Chen like this, his pride and elation reached their peak!

He had always regarded Lin Chen as the biggest stumbling block on his path to perfect crime, and now, this genius consultant who had repeatedly ruined his plans and even publicly humiliated him at a press conference had finally become the fish on his chopping board!

The man with a thousand faces strode arrogantly towards Lin Chen.

He stretched out a finger and poked Lin Chen's chest with unbridled abandon, his tone filled with a morbid sense of satisfaction.

"Lin Chen, Lin Chen, weren't you so arrogant? Didn't you think you could see through my disguise? How come you've turned into a dead dog now?"

"I want to implant the deepest commands of enslavement into your subconscious!"

"I'm going to make you destroy all those classified files from the Jiangcheng Police Station yourself. I'm going to make you my most loyal dog!"

The man with a thousand faces leaned closer to Lin Chen's expressionless face, his voice becoming deep and seductive.

"Now, obey your master's commands..."

"Kneel down!"
