The Master’s Mask Unveiled Again
Chapter 725 - Chapter 725 Chapter 724 No One Can Save You

Chapter 725: Chapter 724 No One Can Save You Chapter 725: Chapter 724 No One Can Save You This place resembled a science museum, filled with advanced technology not seen outside.

The surveillance monitors on the walls worked tirelessly twenty-four hours a day, leaving no blind spots.

The laboratory looked deserted, not a soul in sight, but Lu Mian knew that those people had simply gone into hiding temporarily.

Once an alarm was triggered, the death soldiers trained by the New World Laboratory would emerge in an endless stream.

Hua Ying looked at Lu Mian, who had her head lowered, and chuckled, loosening her surveillance of her slightly.

This was their turf, and no matter how capable Lu Mian was, she couldn’t turn the tide.

At the very least, Lu Mian was helpless against the security system.

The person capable of outsmarting her should be at Xuefeng Mountain by now.

This stratagem of drawing the tiger away from the mountain had not only successfully brought Lu Mian to their headquarters but also trapped Agent Thirteen in their snareaEUR”a two-pronged victory.

However, this time it might require the sacrifice of her own father.

The master had said, “There has to be a give to get, some sacrifices are necessary.”

“Don’t think someone will come to save you.

The only person who could save you, Agent Thirteen, will soon…” Hua Ying was in a good mood, her lips always curled into a smile, cute and sweet.

Lu Mian found it grating.

“Oh, I forgot, no one cares about you anyway.” Hua Ying picked at Lu Mian’s wounds, relentlessly tearing them open.

Lu Mian glanced up at her, lazily dug her finger in her ear, “You’re so noisy.”

Hua Ying was retorted sharply.

Even at this juncture, Lu Mian was still so defiant.

Eager to report back to Huo Zhu, Hua Ying locked Lu Mian in a room and hurried off.

Before leaving, she looked up with adoration and earnestly instructed Lu Mian.

“Lu Mian, the master has already been quite tolerant with you.

Don’t challenge his patience any further.

Do you know how many people in the laboratory envy you…”

Lu Mian did not covet such envy.

She waved her hand calmly, bidding farewell to Hua Ying.

The room’s door shut automatically, airtight.

Lu Mian surveyed the room, no different from where she had stayed before.

A bed, a massive bookshelf, and on the shelf were various novels.

That was the reason she liked reading romance novels.

It had originated here.

But at the moment, she had no desire to flip through these books.

Her fingertips lightly trailed across the spines, reminding her of the sense of abandonment she had felt when she was first tied to the laboratory, forsaken by her family, which enveloped her profoundly, prodding at her.

She had once been tempted to destroy everything.

Fortunately, at that time, she had four companions to support one another.

They always said it was she who saved the four of them, but in reality, it was they who pulled her back as she teetered on the brink of the abyss.

She had not become a mere tool for the laboratory.

It was over.

It would be over soon.

Lu Mian faced the surveillance camera and pulled out a bloodthirsty smile.

From somewhere in the room, a raspy voice emergedaEUR”noticing her expression, it couldn’t help but speak, its tone low and hoarse.

“Lu Mian, welcome back.”

Lu Mian paused slightly, “Who are you?”

“Huo Zhu, your master.”

Lu Mian understood; this person was the real controller of the laboratory, the mastermind boss she had been searching for so long.

The title of masteraEUR”who could truly bear it?

Suppressing the surge of bloodthirst in her, she began in an even tone, “There’s something I’ve never understood.”

“Go ahead.”

“How do you select your targets?”

Why them?

Why is that?

The two began to communicate through voice.

This was their first exchange, yet there was no strangeness of strangers between them, and they even chatted happily.

Huo Zhu also took the time to explain patiently.

“Because your personal magnetic fields coincide with the magnetic tunnel in certain ways, which can increase the success rate of the experiment,” he said.

Oh, so that was the reason.

“Did you succeed then?” Lu Mian’s words carried a profound irony.

Huo Zhu seemed to laugh, “Don’t you feel proud as my only successful experiment?”

Lu Mian curled her lip.

Proud my ass!

aEUR”aEUR”

After Hua Ying returned to the laboratory, her mood was noticeably good.

After handing over the task to Huo Zhu and bumping into Tian Shu, the two greeted each other.

“Tian Shu, did sir mention what we’re going to do next?”

“I don’t know,” Tian Shu shook his head.

“However, now that Lu Mian has returned, the day of sir’s experimental success must also be approaching.”

Hua Ying was instantly filled with longing, “I’ve fantasized countless times, how wonderful it would be if I could travel to the worlds of novels, movies, and anime.

I never thought that sir would make this fantasy a reality.”

The act of ‘book traversal.’

This term that existed only in fantasy was made reality by the godlike sir.

Hua Ying firmly believed that everything Huo Zhu was doing now was for the advancement of humanity.

The flow of time in the virtual world differs from that in the real world; breaking through this dimensional barrier allows ordinary people to master the most advanced skills in the shortest time.

For example, if she wanted to learn top-tier hacking skills, she would only have to choose a book related to hacking and travel into that book via the magnetic tunnel.

Maybe she would spend several years learning inside the book, while only a few days would pass in the outside world.

That’s just one benefit of book traversal; there are many others, and even more possibilities to be developed.

If this research succeeds, it’s bound to turn the world upside down.

.Co

Just look at Lu Mian to see how great it can be.

Why is Lu Mian so formidable, if not because she’s traversed numerous books in succession, acquiring so much knowledge?

Otherwise, no matter how intelligent a person is, their time and energy are limited; how could their brain possibly accommodate such an immense volume of knowledge?

Lu Mian was just fortunate to succeed.

People like them, for various reasons, could at most traverse once or twice, barely enduring it, and each time the duration was very short.

Hua Ying couldn’t help feeling jealous.

She too wanted to be the irreplaceable one in sir’s heart.

aEUR”aEUR”

Xiao Qimo led his team to Xuefeng Mountain.

Without Lu Mian by his side, he reverted to being that highly efficient workaholic, traveling tirelessly.

They arrived half a day earlier than the planned time.

After a long search, they finally found the main entrance to this laboratory.

Sun Hui placed his computer on a rock, sat cross-legged on the ground, and started working swiftly.

His hands weren’t as fast as Lu Mian’s, but thankfully, with the hacking guide she had prepared for him in advance, he didn’t encounter much difficulty.

Wa Zhiqi came over and gave him a thumbs-up in praise.

“Awesome!

Impressive!

Whether we can get into this laboratory today is all on you, brother!”

“Shouldn’t be a problem,” Sun Hui replied with a simple smile, his head practically shining, “Thirteen gave me a hacking guide.”

Wa Zhiqi turned and glanced at Xiao Qimo, who was analyzing the architectural plans, “This operation is good to go!”

Sun Hui touched his forehead and continued working shaking his head.
