Chapter 316: New Code
From the moment the door opened, was he pulled into a dream?
Lin Qiye instantly realized that after the suppression effect of the town monument weakened, Old Dog Wu’s power had also returned to a terrifying level, capable of pulling others into a dream with just a gesture. In actual combat, this was undoubtedly an extremely frightening ability, and even with Lin Qiye’s current strength, he had not sensed it at all.
What realm was he in? Infinite? Or… Klein?
“Do you know what’s happening outside?” Lin Qiye asked.
“I know a bit,” Old Dog Wu nodded. “They are coming for me.”
Hearing this, Lin Qiye was slightly taken aback, then immediately grasped the key point: their target was this mental hospital?
“Yes.” Old Dog Wu slowly stood up. Beneath his messy hair, his eyes were calm. “Right now, almost no one can stop them. This hospital will eventually fall… You should leave here.”
“And you? What will you do?”
“Just because almost no one can stop them… doesn’t mean I can’t.”
Old Dog Wu’s voice was not loud, but it contained unmatched confidence. He looked at Lin Qiye and waved his hand gently, causing the dream to shatter rapidly.
At that moment, Lin Qiye seemed to think of something and quickly asked, “What is today’s code phrase?”
Old Dog Wu gave him a meaningful glance, his figure gradually fading into the air, leaving only one sentence lingering in Lin Qiye’s ear.
“You know the answer.”
…
In the empty corridor, Lin Qiye suddenly came to his senses, feeling a bit dazed.
At this moment, he was standing outside the research room. Through the transparent glass, he could clearly see the researchers busy inside, and everything that had just happened seemed as if it had never occurred…
In the dream, he and Old Dog Wu had communicated for at least two minutes, but now it seemed that only a few seconds had passed. Rather than calling it a dream, it was more appropriate to say it was a moment of distraction.
“I know the answer?” Lin Qiye muttered Old Dog Wu’s words, his brow furrowing tightly.
The night before, Old Dog Wu hadn’t told him today’s code phrase. How could he possibly know what it was?
Moreover, there had been trouble outside today; even if he spoke the code phrase, it might not guarantee his escape…
Lin Qiye shook his head, temporarily casting aside these complicated thoughts, and walked straight toward the exit of the hospital. Whether it was speaking the code phrase or using violence to leave, once he had knocked out the caregiver and taken on their appearance, he could no longer turn back.
Fingerprint, iris, work ID, password…
Lin Qiye skillfully passed through one checkpoint after another. Under Merlin’s transformation magic, he had perfectly become the caregiver, with every detail of his body identical to theirs, leaving no flaws. Even if DNA testing were conducted, the results would be the same.
To perfectly become another person, another being—perhaps that was the terrifying aspect of Merlin’s magic.
After passing all the checkpoints, Lin Qiye stopped in front of the familiar transparent door, feeling a bit anxious. This was the checkpoint he felt the least certain about.
“Night watchman Lin Qiye, please answer today’s code phrase.” A deep male voice came from the speaker.
Lin Qiye’s pupils suddenly contracted!
He looked down at his body, confirming he still resembled the caregiver, and his heart filled with shock and confusion. At this moment, he should have been unrecognizable…
Could it be that something had gone wrong with his previous actions? Or had they discovered the caregiver knocked out in the bathroom?
No, it shouldn’t have happened so quickly.
Right now, in the entire hospital, only one person knew his true identity…
Lin Qiye looked up at the speaker, a bold idea surfacing in his mind.
“If the dark night descends…” the man’s voice slowly came through.
Upon hearing this, Lin Qiye was completely certain of his thoughts. He took a deep breath and calmly replied:
“I shall stand before millions, sword drawn to the abyss, blood staining the heavens!”
“Code phrase correct, safe passage.”
The man’s voice then vanished, and with a soft sound, the transparent door in front of Lin Qiye opened. Outside, under the black night sky, deep red flames burned in the distant buildings, illuminating a corner of the low-hanging night.
…Safe passage, huh.
Lin Qiye clearly remembered that every time the caregiver answered the code phrase correctly, the response had always been “Code phrase correct, please proceed.” But this time… it was “safe passage.”
If he guessed correctly, the person responsible for the code phrase had already been pulled into a dream by Old Dog Wu, meaning that the one who had just spoken to Lin Qiye was actually Old Dog Wu.
He said he would help him leave here; it turned out this was what he meant…
Lin Qiye walked through the transparent door, glancing back at the familiar mental hospital, a complex expression in his eyes.
“Hopefully, don’t come back.”
He murmured to himself, then turned and stepped into the night.
…
Outside the retreat.
The second seat flicked his fingers, and the ropes binding the three people instantly snapped.
Shen Qingzhu stood up, brushed off the dust from his clothes, and looked up at the distant deep red sky, his eyes narrowing slightly.
They actually kept us tied up until night… If I see that little fatty, I’ll have to skin him alive! The fifth seat rubbed his stiff shoulders and yawned.
“You managed to sleep all the way until night; that’s quite impressive,” the second seat said coldly.
“What else could I do while tied up? If I can’t sleep, what can I do?” The fifth seat stretched his body and looked at the chaotic scene in the distance. “Wow, it’s already this lively? Shouldn’t we make our entrance?”
“What do you think?” The second seat snorted coldly. “They’ve probably already started moving inside. We need to quickly apply pressure from the outside to restrain their firepower.”
After saying that, he turned to Shen Qingzhu and half-mockingly said, “Newbie, your strength is too weak. Just stay here and watch. Otherwise, if a missile turns you into dust, we’ll all be punished when we return.”
Shen Qingzhu said nothing, merely nodding silently, his expression hidden beneath the white fox mask.
“Stuck at the ‘Infinite’ realm, huh… but that’s enough.” The second seat spoke lightly, tearing a corner of the void with his hands, instantly ripping open a space!
On the other side of the spatial rift was the front entrance of the chaotic retreat!
His eyes narrowed slightly, a surge of killing intent flashing in them. In a blink, he stepped through, with the fifth seat following closely behind!
Once the two entered, the spatial rift closed automatically.
Shen Qingzhu raised his head and looked into the distance.
The next second, a terrifying explosion erupted from the direction of the retreat’s front entrance!!
