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

As it turns out, even the most cunning mouse cannot resist the temptation of top-quality cheese.

Lin Chen's solution report, which could be described as "divine revelation," stirred up an unprecedented uproar on the "Prometheus" forum!

Less than half an hour.

In a virtual mailbox that Lin Chen had casually forged and which had undergone seventeen layers of encryption, he received an email with extremely respectful and confidential wording.

The email was simple: first, it paid the highest tribute to "this unknown physics giant," and then it contained an extremely tempting "invitation."

He was invited to participate in a great project that "will change the future of mankind," with no upper limit on his salary, and a "deposit" of ten million US dollars was paid in advance.

The interview was scheduled for 10 p.m. tonight at a long-abandoned No. 7 mine in the western suburbs of Beijing.

"Damn it! These guys are too arrogant!"

In the conference room of the General Administration, Su Qingge looked at the contents of the email and slammed her fist on the table in anger.

"Lin Chen, I'll immediately mobilize the Special Police Unit and the Flying Tigers to completely surround that dilapidated mine! I want to see whether their technology or our country's military might is superior!"

Su Qingge was truly anxious; her pretty face was filled with worry and murderous intent.

She absolutely could not allow Lin Chen to take this risk alone!

"no."

However, Lin Chen rejected her suggestion outright in an extremely domineering manner.

"Since the other party dared to choose that location, they must have made thorough preparations."

"If you dare to lead a team to surround them, I guarantee they will kill the hostages immediately. None of those three students will survive."

Lin Chen's eyes were frighteningly calm.

"These people are so meticulous and extremely vigilant."

"The slightest disturbance will make them retreat back into their burrows."

"At that point, the trail will be completely cut off."

"Then... what should we do? Are we just going to let you go alone?"

Su Qingge's eyes reddened.

"Otherwise what?"

Lin Chen walked up to her, reached out and gently smoothed her furrowed brows. His tone was domineering, yet it carried an irresistible tenderness.

"Don't worry, the person in this world who can hurt me hasn't been born yet."

"I'll go and meet them myself."

After saying that, he gave Su Qingge no chance to refute him and turned to walk into an empty lounge next door.

"Wait for my good news."

As the door closed, Su Qingge could only lean helplessly against the wall, her heart filled with worry and a strange, blind trust in this man.

In the lounge.

Lin Chen took out a nearly transparent piece of paper, about the size of a band-aid, from the system space.

Holographic camouflage patch!

Perfect disguise for 24 hours!

He gently applied the patch to the back of his neck.

The next second, a miracle happened!

A ripple-like pattern appeared on Lin Chen's body surface.

His once upright figure began to hunch over at a visible rate.

His once handsome face with its sharp angles has become ordinary, and he even has a pair of thick-rimmed glasses that look like the bottom of a beer bottle.

Even the powerful aura of control he once possessed had vanished without a trace, replaced by a dullness and rigidity stemming from a long period of isolation and immersion in his own world.

In just a few seconds, the decisive and unrestrained Lin Chen was completely transformed into a seemingly weak and even socially anxious physics nerd!

"Holy crap, this acting is so good, it's a waste not to win an Oscar."

Looking at the unfamiliar reflection in the mirror, Lin Chen couldn't help but mentally complain.

This is simply Oscar-worthy!

……

10 PM, western suburbs, abandoned mine No. 7.

The night was cool and still. Under the moonlight, the desolate mining area resembled a monster with its jaws wide open, filled with gloom and deathly silence.

A taxi stopped at the entrance of the mine. "Bookworm" Lin Chen paid the fare, opened the car door, and, carrying a thick book on quantum field theory, walked unsteadily towards the agreed location.

He had just stepped into an open area deep inside the mine.

"Swish! Swish!"

Four masked men dressed in black combat uniforms, wearing night vision goggles and gas masks appeared out of the darkness like ghosts and surrounded him.

The dark muzzle of the gun was pointed mercilessly at his head.

"No...don't kill me!"

Lin Chen trembled with fright, dropping the book he was holding. He raised his hands and said in a trembling voice:

"I...I'm here for an interview!"

The masked leader didn't speak, but instead used a handheld scanner to scan Lin Chen from head to toe. After confirming that he wasn't carrying any electronic devices or weapons, he said in a hoarse voice:

"Come with us."

Immediately, a black hood that smelled strongly of disinfectant was placed over Lin Chen's head without explanation.

Suddenly, everything went dark.

Lin Chen was held on either side by two burly men and shoved into the back seat of an SUV.

The vehicle started and began to bump along the rough road.

Lin Chen, whose eyes were covered, appeared to be trembling with fear and dared not utter a single word.

But his brain was now in a state of absolute calm and high-speed operation!

[God-level Hearing Ability]! Activated!

[God-Level Danger Sense]! Activated!

Although he couldn't see or hear the drivers' conversations, he was building an incredibly detailed 3D driving map in his mind!

The vehicle turned 15 degrees to the left and traveled approximately 2.7 kilometers, where the rough dirt road transformed into a smooth asphalt road…

The car maintained a speed of 80 km/h for twelve minutes and thirty seconds...

There are three speed bumps ahead, spaced 20 meters apart, indicating that we have entered a restricted area...

The vehicle began descending a slope of approximately 8 degrees, which lasted for three minutes. I felt a slight pressure in my eardrums, and the altitude had dropped by at least 500 meters...

The humidity in the air is increasing, the temperature is decreasing, and there's a sound of wind coming from the ventilation ducts...

His brain is like a super navigator that integrates GPS, gyroscope, barometer, temperature and humidity sensors, accurately recording every detail of the vehicle's movement!

I don't know how much time passed.

The vehicle finally came to a slow stop.

"We've arrived, get off the bus."

A cold voice rang in my ears.

Lin Chen was roughly dragged out of the car, and the cold, hard metal under his feet felt like a knife.

The black cloth on his head was ripped off.

The blinding white light made him squint instinctively.

When he opened his eyes again and saw the scene before him, even with his composure, his pupils couldn't help but shrink sharply!

An extremely thrilling and exciting mission to infiltrate the tiger's den has officially begun!
