Suddenly the alarm bell rang outside, and there were several more "bang bangs" of something being broken in the corridor. Soon, the footsteps of a group of people passed by the door, chasing the movement.
Liu Mengwei opened the door. The cameras in the corridor on the third floor had just been destroyed by Wen Qiao. Now the people chasing him had been attracted to other places by him. It was the time for her to take action.
There was no time to hesitate anymore. She came to the elevator entrance as quickly as possible, opened the elevator smoothly with her work permit, and pressed the elevator button desperately until the elevator door closed slowly.
The few dozen seconds she spent in this small space felt like years. Her body was about to be exhausted, and it was all she had to do with her relatively strong mental strength to support her.
"Ding--" The elevator rang, and the metal door slowly opened. Her heart was in her throat. She was even ready to be caught again and thrown into a cage as soon as she opened the door.
The doors were all open, and there was no one waiting to catch her outside. Not only no, this floor was surprisingly quiet. It seemed like there was no one there. Could it be that everyone went to the third floor to catch Wen Qiao?
There is no time to think so much now, it is business to go out first.
The layout of the second floor is completely different from that of the third floor. It seems to be a circular structure, with a huge circular pool in the center. The water inside has a dreamy blue color, clear and transparent, but it is impossible to see the bottom at a glance, as if someone has packed the deep sea into this small world. .
There was no time to explore what these things were for, she had to go to room 8 first.
Room No. 1, further forward is Room 2, further forward is Room 3, and further forward is Room 5.
Hey, why did you skip number 4? No matter, but the house number of the next room is actually No. 8, skipping No. 6 and No. 7. What kind of strange numbering method is this?
She turned the doorknob, but the room was still empty, with only a few computers glowing blue in the darkness. Liu Mengwei rushed to the back row and was about to look for the USB flash drive Wen Qiao was talking about.
At this moment, the computer screen in front of her suddenly changed - a simple yet weird pixel pattern of a smiling face appeared on the screen, winking at her mischievously, and then burst into laughter.
"Hahahahaha."
"he he he he he."
"Ha ha ha ha ha."
This is...Alice's voice.
Liu Mengwei took a step back suddenly.
"You idiot, do you think you can escape from my grasp? My eyes are everywhere here, and I've been staring at you." Its mouth opened and closed, and Alice's voice came from the computer speaker.
There was another sound of footsteps outside the door. It turned out that they had known her actions for a long time and were waiting for her to fall into a trap!
Damn it! Are you still losing after trying so hard until now? no! I'm going to the pantry, even if there's little hope, I'll have to do it to find out. Before actually doing it, no matter how small the probability is, it is still an unknown.
But before she could take the first step, Liu Mengwei froze on the spot again - she should have understood this when she first came to this second-level space.
The layout of the room corridor here is a circle, with no end? What is the "end of the corridor" that Wen Qiao mentioned?
Did he lie to me? No, no, what reason would he have for doing this? Unless he and Alice were together, but he obviously didn't know much about his secret, otherwise he wouldn't always pry into it intentionally or unintentionally.
Could it be that the two of them really colluded and Alice deliberately let Wen Qiao humiliate herself? No, that doesn't make sense. Even if they had known each other for less than a month starting from that night, would Alice bring someone she had just met to such a secret place? What's more, the other party is still a policeman.
Since none of these speculations are true, there is only one other possibility left: this is a logical loophole, a logical loophole deliberately placed here to remind me of myself. Liu Mengwei's pupils dilated, a little unbelievable.
She is the only successful dreamer in 6N Laboratory for decades. She can create illusory dreams in the real world, and she can also create reality in illusory dreams.
After all, humans are slaves to their brains and nervous systems. We have all had extremely real dreams, and the joys, sorrows, and joys in dreams can even be more passionate, deep, willful, and unforgettable than in reality. Even things that really happen in real life will quickly become memories and remain in a corner of the brain. In the end, what is the difference between them and dreams?
As long as the wall between reality and illusion is broken. Some things that cannot be done or cannot be done will no longer be a problem. The shackles of reality will be removed layer by layer in dreams.
However, the dreamer himself will not fall into this kind of dream, nor can he design a dream for himself, just as the authorities are confused but the bystanders are clear. If the dreamer himself cannot distinguish between dreams and reality, it is extremely easy to lose control and fall into an inextricable cycle from which he can never get out. unless……
That person said that when people face a real threat of death, they can often unleash unprecedented potential, but the price is too high - the flashbacks are fleeting.
But now, she seems to be in a dream of her own creation. "The end of the circular corridor" is the key she hid for herself in her dream. She was standing on the first spiral staircase, but it was layered and never-ending. Even if her life was exhausted, she could not reach the end.
This means that she is currently in the situation that the man said - a real death threat, a near-death state, and she is about to die.
"Wake up! Wake up!"
"Wake up! Wake up! Wake up from your dream!"
Liu Mengwei opened her eyes suddenly. She was still sitting on the bed in that cell, surrounded by snow. Ever since Alice left this room, she had never actually been able to take a step.
There was a noise at the door, and someone was standing at the door trying to open the door and come in. The next second, a tall man wearing a white coat, black-rimmed glasses and a blue mask appeared at the door carrying a tray.
He stretched out his slender fingers, took out the small white bone china plate from the tray, and handed it to her.
It was a chocolate cake with an alluring aroma.
Liu Mengwei opened her eyes wide and looked at the man in front of her in disbelief, as if she could see his face clearly through the mask.
What just happened was not a dream she created, but... a predicted future!
When the man saw that she didn't answer for a long time, just staring at him with a pair of copper bell-like eyes, he wanted to put the plate in his hand on the coffee table. But before he could make the next move, Liu Mengwei grabbed his wrist.
Her hand was as cold as a piece of ice, and when it touched the man's warm skin, it was like a long-lost ray of sunshine shining through in the long polar night: "Take me away."
His body stiffened.
"Take me away, I'm running out of time." Liu Mengwei's voice was plaintive.
"You can't retrieve the USB flash drive and save me at the same time. You can only choose one."
The small plate in his hand squeaked, and the cake fork on it almost fell off. He finally spoke, in his usual calm, calm and somewhat indifferent tone: "How could you..."
Liu Mengwei pulled the hand that was wearing the watch. Sure enough, there was a countdown on it, which now showed 6 minutes and 55 seconds left.
"You want to destroy the power system here, but once we get out of this room, they will know that there is an intruder here. They will find the bomb you planted and seal all the entrances and exits!"
"you……"
"I only have this chance...before they find out..." Liu Mengwei's breath became weaker and weaker: "Take me...from the...patio here..."
He finally stopped hesitating, dropped what he was holding, held her wrist with his backhand, supported her waist, and lifted her up.
She was like a weak, boneless cloud, her arms and legs were weak, her body was shaking involuntarily, and she could not stand, let alone walk.
The situation changed in an instant, the plan he had made before was no longer effective, and he had to make a decision in a very short time.
Now that it's been discovered, it's time to create as much chaos as possible.
He took out a small cylindrical object from somewhere, lit it and threw it outside. The corridor was instantly filled with white smoke, making it difficult to see the direction and naturally covering all the surveillance cameras.
Under the cover of white smoke, Wen Qiao turned around, picked up Liu Mengwei on his back, and rushed out the door.
Although the fog in front of him made it impossible to see anything, Wen Qiao's steps were light and did not stop for a moment, and his body was as nimble as a clouded leopard walking through the dense forest at night. He seemed to have already figured out the layout of the place, and found the security room at the end of the corridor in less than a minute.
This is an emergency entrance and exit, so naturally it must be placed in a place with the highest security level.
The smoke in the corridor just now has lured several security personnel out, but they are naturally not stupid enough to send out all personnel and leave no one at home to watch.
And now, the person left in the security room turned out to be a muscular, tall, powerful, and fully armed white man. Looking at his figure, he was stronger than the two of them put together.
Although Wen Qiao was confident of defeating him, a series of fights would have to occur, which would waste time and possibly make him wait for support from his companions, which would be troublesome. Therefore, he had to find a way to win by surprise. Defeat the enemy with one move.
He put Liu Mengwei down and was about to give her a few words, but he saw her hands move first, and she opened her sleeves with difficulty. It turned out that there was a hidden bag with three silver needles in it.
"Stab the forehead, don't stab the eyeballs. The neurotoxin on it can paralyze the optic nerves of both eyes for a period of time, which is enough for us to escape."
Wen Qiao didn't expect that she had such a hand, but now was not the time to discuss minutiae. He directly pulled out all three silver needles from her sleeves, pinched them on his fingertips, and then squatted down slightly to carry her on his back.
Liu Mengwei exclaimed: "How can you fight him behind my back..."
But before he finished speaking, Wen Qiao opened the door at lightning speed. Before the big white man could stand up, the silver needle in his other hand had already popped out from his fingertips and accurately hit his forehead. .
Liu Mengwei was stunned, but in the end he said the second half of the sentence slowly: "What if... you hurt me?"
Wen Qiao didn't even look at the big man who was groping in the air. He walked to the fire door in three steps and then walked in with Liu Mengwei.
