Chapter 98: The Phone Call
The sun gradually set to the west, as red as a persimmon hanging on a branch.
The surrounding clouds were also dyed a faint orange-red. After spreading across the sky, they covered the blue-purple of the sky.
Lin Mian held the small bomb produced by the system store and crawled forward in the lush grass.
This laboratory was not in a hidden location, but it was in the suburbs far from the city center, and there were almost no houses around.
The weeds were dense, and there was a forest behind it. If you didn’t look carefully, it was indeed easy to overlook the silver-white laboratory inside.
Fei Han’s original intention in building this laboratory was to create a mutated potion, so he naturally chose a place with as few people as possible. It was also very quiet, which allowed him to concentrate on his experiments.
The laboratory was very large, with only two entrances and exits.
One was the main entrance, where Fei Han usually entered and exited. The other was more hidden and was built underground.
And the place Lin Mian was going to was the main entrance with the long passage.
Just in case, Lin Mian needed to bury the bomb at the end of the passage. There was an electronic door made of special material there, and the other various experimental rooms were behind the door.
That door used the most advanced technology. Pupils, fingerprints, voice… all the detection methods one could think of, it was almost all equipped with.
There was even a detection of energy fluctuations, as if it were specially designed to deal with transmigrators like them, making it completely impossible for them to break through by force with their own advantages.
After roughly understanding the structure of the laboratory, Stone and the other transmigrators had Lin Mian place the bomb next to the door and run out after activating it.
With the power of the bomb produced by the system, the laboratory behind the door would definitely not be able to be saved.
By then, the laboratory would be destroyed, and the experimental potion that Fei Han was about to research would also no longer exist.
At this thought, Lin Mian’s eyes became even more determined for a moment.
As a messenger of justice, he must protect the kindness and beauty of this world! He must not let the ferocious villains destroy this world!
Lin Mian, with his blood boiling, crawled much faster. Finally, after a few minutes, he stealthily arrived at the main entrance of the laboratory.
The door at the main entrance only required a password to be entered, but it was updated in real time.
Lin Mian saw a string of numbers sent by Stone in the system group, wiped his hands, which were so dirty they could rub off a layer of mud, on himself, and held his breath as he entered the password on the door.
The heavy white door made a click sound and slowly opened from the middle, retracting into the door seams on both sides.
Lin Mian stepped from the orange sunset into this laboratory, which was glowing with a silver-white cold light. In the long passage, he suddenly saw his own reflection on the wall.
“Holy shit!”
Lin Mian’s eyes widened suddenly. He walked to the wall, which was as bright as a mirror, and carefully examined his head and face, as if he were very shocked that he actually looked like this.
His fingers were trembling slightly. Lin Mian thought of the expressions of Stone and the others just now, which were of not being able to bear to look directly at him. He pouted and almost cried out in grievance.
He had thought that he would be very down on his luck, but Lin Mian felt that even if he were in a sorry state, he would still be a grassroots savior with a scruffy appearance but good looks.
But now, let alone good looks, just that layer of dust, it would probably weigh two pounds if he rubbed it off!
In the future, if he really became famous and became a hero, wouldn’t he be laughed at by others!
Lin Mian’s mood was a little low for a while. He dragged his shoes, which didn’t fit at all, and walked forward with small steps.
Fortunately, his ability to console himself was extremely strong. Before he even reached the end of the passage, he had already comforted himself and, with renewed spirits, ran over with the explosive package.
“Ahhh! I’m here to save the world!”
Lunging and crawling to the door, Lin Mian carefully placed the package there, took a deep breath, and just as he was about to activate it, he heard the sound of shoes on the floor behind him.
One after another, extremely regular, but to Lin Mian’s ears, it made his heart contract.
Unable to help but turn his head, Lin Mian’s round eyes met the eyes of the arriving Fei Han.
Fei Han was exuding a cold aura. The main door of the laboratory behind him was not closed. He was just stepping on the sunset glow that was streaming in, his figure stretched extremely long.
Lin Mian’s gaze first fell on his long, straight legs. He foolishly lifted his head and saw Fei Han’s expressionless face.
“Here to plant a bomb?”
Fei Han hadn’t even gotten close when he asked in a cold voice.
It was Lin Mian’s first time on a mission, and it was also the first time he had seen such a powerful villain. His eyeballs seemed to be fixed there, not daring to move at all.
Seeing the distance between the two of them getting shorter and shorter, Lin Mian suddenly shivered and came back to his senses. He hugged his package tightly, swallowed, and looked at Fei Han nervously. “You… you’re Fei Han?”
Before he came, Lin Mian had also carefully read the plot several times and was very familiar with the personalities of the several villains. At this moment, seeing this person’s cold aura, he was roughly certain of his identity.
Fei Han didn’t waste his breath on him. He coolly lifted his eyelids and glanced at Lin Mian, then reached out his fingertips and tapped on the wall a couple of times.
Instantly, a panel extended from the wall. After Fei Han pressed it twice with a drip, drip sound, the silver-white wall suddenly began to change.
And Lin Mian, opposite him, was just holding the package, watching as various types of weapons extended from the wall between him and Fei Han.
Rows of cylindrical things with a cold tone that he couldn’t understand were aimed straight at him.
The change happened too quickly, so much so that Lin Mian didn’t even have time to react before he was forced to face this hellish scene.
Without even thinking, Lin Mian, even with his toes, could guess what was aimed at him.
A drop of sweat unconsciously slid down his forehead. Lin Mian looked at Fei Han’s cold face opposite him, his lips trembling, feeling that his time of death was probably near!
Too difficult. To die before even succeeding!
He, Lin Mian, was going to sacrifice himself for justice today, wuuu!
His eyes were fixed on Fei Han’s fingers. The moment the other was about to press the button, Lin Mian’s idea of pouncing on him and perishing together was interrupted by a ringing sound.
“The sun hangs in the sky, the little birds chirp…”
The childish ringtone was extremely out of place in this tense standoff.
But when Fei Han heard this song, his action directly stopped. He frowned, his eyes sharply fixed on Lin Mian’s wrist.
“What are you wearing on your wrist?”
His voice was still without any fluctuation, but Fei Han’s tone was a bit more tense than just now.
Lin Mian’s hand was covered by the package he was holding. At this moment, hearing the sound from the children’s watch on his wrist, he was stunned for a moment before he let out a confused “ah.”
“Oh, that, it should be the phone ringing. Let me see who’s calling.”
At such a serious and tense moment, Lin Mian felt that he still had the mood to answer the phone. His psychological quality was simply amazing!
But the villain opposite him actually said nothing and just stood there quietly with his arms crossed, waiting for Lin Mian to answer the phone.
Swallowing, Lin Mian looked at the green answer button on his watch and gently tapped it.
Instantly, Nuonuo’s little milky voice came from the watch. “Big brother! It’s Nuonuo!”
Lin Mian still remembered this little cutie. Hearing the other’s clear voice at this moment, it felt almost like the sound of heaven.
Secretly glancing at the seemingly surprised Fei Han, Lin Mian quickly replied, “It’s you. What’s wrong, Nuonuo?”
Nuonuo seemed a little embarrassed. He hummed a couple of times and then said in a small voice, “Big brother, I’m wost. I can’t find my brother. Can you call my brother and have him come and pick me up? I… I’m at…”
Another child’s voice seemed to come from the other side, a little impatient as he walked over and said, “We’re at the entrance of the ice cream shop in front of the haunted house. Nuonuo ate one of their ice creams and now doesn’t have money to pay, so he’s being held here by the boss.”
Lin Mian and Fei Han: “…”
This was a reason they had never expected.
The child on the other side sounded much more coherent than Nuonuo. Fei Han roughly judged from the voice that it should be Zhuang Jie, and he heard him continue, “Nuonuo only remembers the phone number of his watch. The contact on his watch is Fei Jing. You call him back and have him come and pick us up.”
After a pause, the other side continued, “Otherwise, the boss said he’s going to have Nuonuo stay here and be his mascot to earn money.”
Nuonuo seemed very embarrassed. For such a thing to be known by an outsider like Brother Lin Mian, he blushed and quickly said, “I only ate one, a very small one. It didn’t cost a lot of money.”
The phone should have been borrowed from the boss. The boss was laughing heartily on the side, and from the sound of it, he was a cheerful man.
“You hurry up and call their brother and have him take the little ones away, haha. They’re about to cry if they stay here.”
After listening, Lin Mian just sighed with a complicated heart.
I didn’t expect to be able to do a good deed before I die. Aiya, this is my fate as a messenger of justice!
“Alright…”
He had only uttered one syllable when he heard the villain opposite him speak.
“Nuonuo.”
Nuonuo on the other side let out a small “huh?” and then quickly reacted, letting out a “wow.” “Brother! Why are you there!”
Fei Han’s eyes also showed a hint of a smile. Because he was a little far from Lin Mian, afraid that Nuonuo wouldn’t hear, his voice was a little louder. “I’m working here. And you? Are you having fun?”
Nuonuo stood on his tiptoes on the other side, holding the landline receiver with both his little hands, and said happily, “I’m having fun! When is brother coming back? I want to go and play in the house!”
Nuonuo was talking about the mirror house, their last destination for this stop.
Fei Han didn’t answer directly. Instead, he said, “You stand there and don’t run around. I’ll call Fei Jing and have him pick you up. And…”
When it came to the little one’s matters, Fei Han couldn’t help but worry, and his words became more. “You can’t just run around in the future. You have to follow an adult.”
At this thought, Fei Han’s brow furrowed slightly. How come Fei Jing can’t even take care of a child? He actually lost him. Indeed, people with a lot of tricks up their sleeves are too careless.
The inexplicably scolded Fei Jing sneezed even with his mask on.
“Okay! I’ll be good in the future!”
Nuonuo had done something wrong, and his voice was soft and well-behaved as he quickly promised.
Only then was Fei Han satisfied. He nodded lightly and signaled for Lin Mian to hang up the phone.
Lin Mian looked at Fei Han, who was sending a message on his phone, and the monstrous waves in his heart almost drowned him.
Holy shit!
Nuonuo actually called the other person brother?!
Doesn’t that mean that the well-behaved and cute child just now is the villain Fei Nuo from the plot?!
His hand, which was hanging up the phone, was trembling. Lin Mian suddenly heard a drip, drip sound and looked down to find that at some point, he had actually touched the on/off switch of the bomb!
