Chapter 621: Chapter 387: A Different Round-faced Fat Chicken
’That voice... there’s no mistaking it. It has to be him!’
’Why is he here?’
At this thought, the blind girl fell silent.
After a moment of silence, Han Ning saw that the girl before him still hadn’t spoken.
He knew he couldn’t delay any longer.
His figure flickered as he leaped in front of the girl. He altered the frequency of his Spiritual Power and unleashed his Hypnosis Secret Technique.
"You’re the bald uncle, aren’t you..."
The blind girl gritted her teeth, forcefully resisting the corrosion of his Spiritual Power.
"Sorry, but I’m not."
Han Ning grew even more surprised at the girl’s resilience.
An ordinary person would have already fallen into a hypnotized state, becoming a Puppet under his command.
"You’re using me?" At some point, tears had begun to streak down the girl’s cheeks.
"I told you, I don’t know you."
Han Ning furrowed his brow and increased the intensity.
The girl finally couldn’t hold on any longer. She wasn’t hypnotized; instead, her brain activated a self-preservation mechanism, and she fell unconscious.
He reached out, wrapping an arm around the girl’s soft waist, and found a Permission Card on her.
Name: Lin Luolan
Position: Lab Assistant
...
’I wonder if her Permission Card can get me into the lab.’
Carrying Lin Luolan, Han Ning stealthily walked to the door of the paleobotany lab. He used a black mist to cover the cameras on both sides, then swiped the girl’s Permission Card.
BEEP~
"Please enter fingerprint."
He took one of Lin Luolan’s slender index fingers and pressed it onto the scanner.
With a soft CLICK.
The door opened a crack.
Han Ning immediately pushed the door open and entered.
The laboratory lights turned on automatically.
Inside the spacious laboratory, over a dozen different types of plants were being cultivated using various methods, including hydroponics and soil.
He activated his Authentication function and scanned the plants one by one.
Finally, in the southeast corner of the lab, he found the target of his trip.
[
Material Name: Mind Confusing Grass
Rarity: Awakening
Introduction: An ancient plant containing hallucinogenic power, found only within certain ruins.
]
The Mind Confusing Grass had oval-shaped leaves covered in white spots. There were over a dozen stalks in total, all placed together in a culture dish under a glass cover, emitting a faint white mist.
’This is it.’
Han Ning walked closer, holding the girl with one arm.
Just as he stood before the glass cover.
Long, thin, dark green vines suddenly dropped from the ceiling above him.
Like living Spiritual Snakes, the vines took aim at Han Ning and shot toward his neck, intending to coil around it.
Beside him, the air rippled.
A sleek snake’s head emerged, and the air temperature dropped rapidly.
KRAK-KRAK-KLE.
Ice Crystals covered the vines and the glass cover.
He threw a punch.
The Ice Crystals, along with the glass cover, exploded into a shower of fragments.
BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP!
In an instant, a piercing alarm blared throughout the entire building.
Seizing the opportunity, he snatched up the square-table-sized culture dish and quickly left.
「At the same time.」
Inside the faculty and staff dormitory at Lu University.
A young man in pajamas, who had been sound asleep, snapped his eyes open. He leaped out of bed with lightning speed and sprinted toward the laboratory.
Han Ning, holding the girl, gently placed her on the ground by the door. Then, he transformed into a black shadow and shot toward the first-floor exit.
TAP TAP TAP~
Amid the piercing alarm, the sound of urgent, overlapping footsteps echoed from all around.
The security guards stationed in the guardhouse heard the alarm and were already rushing over.
The guards who had just reached the main entrance had already locked it, precisely to prevent the thief inside from escaping.
"Who’s there?!"
A guard had just set foot on the stairs when he saw a black shadow descend from above.
Before he could even get a clear look at the person’s face, his head swam, and he fell unconscious.
Han Ning ran to the main entrance and tried to use the panel to unlock the access control system again.
However, he discovered that the power to the system had been cut. The door was now in a completely locked state.
It could only be opened through the most primitive mechanical means.
"Egg Pancake!"
Han Ning shouted, and Egg Pancake emerged from the Soul Beast Space.
"CHIRP CHIRP!"
It faced the thick, bulletproof glass door and opened its mouth.
SWOOSH!
The air temperature plummeted.
Blue Ice Crystals spread out.
A fan-shaped torrent of frost poured from Egg Pancake’s mouth, endlessly washing over the glass door.
In just a few seconds, the door and the entire glass curtain wall had turned into a solid block of ice.
Egg Pancake touched the Ice Crystal with its claw and gave a light shake!
BOOM.
The once-solid door instantly shattered into pieces.
HISS~
A cold mist spread out.
A tall figure burst through the cold mist and ran out into the night.
Suddenly, a sharp whistling sound cut through the air.
Han Ning tilted his head slightly.
A green vine, whipping through the air, grazed perilously close to his right cheek.
It was followed by dozens, then hundreds of densely packed vines, swarming toward him like octopus tentacles.
"Petty tricks. Egg Pancake!"
He kept running. After so many years together, his tacit understanding with Egg Pancake was perfect.
Hidden within the frosty mist, Egg Pancake revealed a pair of white eyes and slightly opened its mouth toward its surroundings.
HAA~
A vortex of cold air spread out with Han Ning at its center.
All the vines shooting toward them turned into Ice Crystals, frozen in place.
The walls of Lu University were just steps away. Behind Han Ning, the sound of something cutting through the air came again, one after another.
A furious roar carried through the air: "Stop! Who the hell are you?!"
Han Ning just smiled, not answering the man’s question.
