In a certain room on the top floor, candlelight flickered in the darkness. A CD player was playing a piece of white noise heralding an approaching storm. The air vibrated slightly, like ripples on the surface of water. In this spiritual force field that seemed to solidify, a circle of extremely faint ripples suddenly spread out. Sitting quietly, Jia Sangyi’s tightly shut eyeballs rapidly moved under his eyelids. His voice echoed directly in Luo Lie’s mind, carrying the excitement of a hunter discovering the tracks of its prey. "A spiritual fluctuation is trying to penetrate my network, it’s very concealed and crafty, he wants to contact someone outside." Luo Lie stood behind him and immediately instructed in a deep voice: "Lock onto him, but for now, don’t alert the enemy. We must track down that guy hiding in the shadows." "Locking... Fluctuation source... found it!" There was a hint of surprise in Jia Sangyi’s voice. Jia Sangyi did not immediately answer. In the spiritual link, his voice suddenly heightened, full of astonishment. "There’s more than one source of fluctuation. I can feel a stronger wave coming from the direction of the experimental zone!" Luo Lie’s brow furrowed instantly. Someone broke into the experimental zone? Why are the monitoring systems and laser networks unresponsive? Jia Sangyi’s thoughts raced rapidly. "It must be that mole secretly sending an action signal to the enemy waiting outside, taking advantage of our focus on the conference hall to seize this opportunity to infiltrate the laboratory. Their aim is to steal information." He paused, then continued: "I’ll first transmit the locations of these two targets to you. Luo Lie, be especially cautious of that target in the experimental zone, don’t let him escape easily." "He may very well possess abilities akin to stealth or space traversal, otherwise, he couldn’t possibly evade all physical monitoring." Luo Lie’s voice was cold and firm: "He won’t get away." Saying this, he swiftly raised his hand, pressed the switch on his earpiece, and issued an order over the communication channel. "Black Hawk, immediately seal all exits of the experimental zone, activate the ’Harp’ system." A brief and cold response came through the earpiece. The ’Harp’ system is not a conventional sound and light alarm device. For origınal chapters go to 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵•𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮•𝓷𝓮𝓽 It will release a low-frequency infrasound wave within the enclosed space of the entire experimental zone. This sound cannot be detected by human ears but can directly affect the cerebral cortex, causing severe spiritual interference in power users. Among tiered metal walls, the infrasound wave will continuously reflect, resonate, and reverberate, ultimately forming an invisible mental storm. In lesser cases, it will lead to excruciating headaches and uncontrollable superpowers; in severe cases, mental collapse and unconsciousness. Regardless, this is sufficient to temporarily disrupt any ability that requires precise concentration, creating a perfect opportunity to capture this mysterious intruder into the building. Luo Lie clenched his fists, his joints producing a "crack" sound. He turned his head, seeing a dozen or so figures wearing tactical masks silently standing in the darkness behind him, like lurking Predators. In this operation to capture the mole, the Noah Organization seemed to focus most of its energy on the conference hall, making the defense of the experimental zone seem a bit thin. But this was precisely a flaw that Luo Lie intentionally exposed. The opponent’s patience was extraordinary, refusing to expose themselves for an extended time. In that case, it was better to tear open a gap and let the opponent think they’ve seized a golden opportunity, voluntarily jumping into the trap meticulously prepared for them. As Zhuo Feng would say, this is "Inviting the gentleman into the urn." Luo Lie’s lips curled into a cold smile. This intruder might just be the rumored "White Owl," right? The abilities are indeed elusive and unpredictable. If not for prior preparation, he almost succeeded. Fortunately, Jia Sangyi was brought in, a master of the spiritual domain, to pre-emptively lay an invisible net over the entire building. Even when contracting intentionally, showing weakness to the enemy, he did not forget that the experimental zone was the core of the entire game that needed protection the most. Now, with the physical ’Harp’ system activated, and the spiritual net also having locked the target, Under the double trap, even if he has the power to traverse heaven and earth, he will still find it hard to escape. Luo Lie made a simple tactical gesture to the waiting operation squad. There were no words, no noise. The hunters instantly comprehended the command, moving in neat rows, silently following Luo Lie out of the room. "Watch them closely, any movement, notify me at once." Before leaving the room, Luo Lie issued the final instruction. Jia Sangyi remained seated in his original position, like a rock in a raging stream, the central pivot of this vast net. His consciousness had completely extended, transforming into countless invisible tendrils, tightly wrapping around both the conference hall and the laboratory, tracking the spiritual glows hiding in the darkness. The elevator doors silently slid open, then quickly closed. The floor numbers rapidly changed on the display, as if counting down to an imminent slaughter. The elevator swiftly descended to the 87th floor. The core area of Noah Pharmaceutical, just two floors below the top floor. The light in the elevator car flicked on, the metallic walls reflecting Luo Lie’s cold face. In his mind, Jia Sangyi’s spiritual transmission sounded once more. "The target in the experimental zone is on the move, he seems to have sensed something, his movements have become somewhat hurried." Luo Lie’s expression remained unchanged. The prey realizing it’s fallen into a trap and beginning to struggle is a perfectly normal reaction. Then came the "ding" sound. The elevator reached the designated floor. The metal doors slid open to both sides, revealing a white-lit alloy corridor outside. The air was filled with the scent of disinfectant. At the end of the corridor was the first high-pressure airtight door leading to the experimental zone. Luo Lie took the lead, stepping out of the elevator, raising his hand, and making another gesture. The team members behind immediately fanned out, raising their assault rifles and stepping forward. Their black combat suits absorbed all surrounding light, and no sound came from the joints of the exoskeleton movements. The actions of the whole team were as quiet as ghosts. The rain pattered against the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, making the city’s dazzling nightscape appear slightly blurred. Inside the conference hall, the clamor gradually subsided. Even those who were most active and loyal calmed down now, their mouths almost dry from speaking. The air was thick with a complex mixture of cigar smoke and tea, and an indiscernible tension hung about. The ticking of the clock on the wall continued endlessly, as if counting down to something. Feng Jincai sat upright on the sofa, leisurely sipping tea. Suddenly, his brow twitched, his expression changed slightly, and then he coughed. "Alright, everyone, although it’s not yet midnight, I think it’s about time." He glanced at his watch and stood up. Then, he walked over to a silver metal box as if preparing to destroy it. Everyone present held their breath at what they saw. Xu Hao’s fingers unconsciously tensed on the chair’s armrest. Even Chen Chen, though outwardly calm, felt his heart quicken. However, Feng Jincai suddenly stopped. He turned around, his smile becoming eerily strange. "But before destroying this confidential file, there is something even more important we have to do." At that moment, Zhuo Feng also suddenly straightened his posture, his cold gaze slowly sweeping over everyone like a knife. "And that is to follow everyone’s suggestion and catch the traitor who stabbed us in the back!" As he spoke, he slowly raised his hand, pointing towards the cadre and outer leaders present. Instantly, Xu Hao and Chen Chen felt their hearts leap to their throats. They instinctively tensed their muscles, their throats dry. They almost thought that in the next second, Zhuo Feng’s finger pointing towards the traitor would freeze on them, declaring their fate. However, Zhuo Feng’s gaze passed over them. Ultimately, it fixed on someone entirely unexpected. His finger pointed at the man who was just heartily laughing, full of rage and righteousness, showing more loyalty than anyone else. "Ma Biao, do you have anything to say?" The room fell deathly silent. Everyone looked in unison at Ma Biao, who was caught totally off-guard, with eyes full of disbelief. Xu Hao and Chen Chen were also stunned. What the hell, how could it be him?
