Rebirth with a Space to Counterattack and Abuse the Scumbag
Chapter 34 Thrilling Scene in the Dark Room: Perilous Situation
The beam of the flashlight swayed in the dim room, illuminating the tiny dust particles floating in the air, and also illuminating...
Those things gleaming coldly on the wall!
Good heavens, this isn't a darkroom, it's practically an armory!
Darts, poison needles, barbs—they were everywhere, making my scalp tingle.
A pungent musty smell mixed with the odor of some unknown chemical reagent almost made me die on the spot.
Gong Lin pulled me behind him and whispered, "Be careful, this place is full of traps."
I swallowed hard, gripping his clothes tightly, feeling like I'd stumbled into an ancient tomb raiding movie set.
The atmosphere is so tense, it's like a death flag is about to be triggered any second now.
We moved forward cautiously, afraid of running into some trap.
Suddenly, Gong Lin let out a muffled groan, and my heart skipped a beat. Oh no!
"What's wrong?" I asked nervously.
Gong Lin's face was a little pale, and his brows were furrowed: "It's nothing, I was just scratched by something."
I quickly shone my flashlight over and saw that his clothes on his shoulder had been torn, and blood was slowly seeping out.
I gasped. This thing didn't look like an ordinary concealed weapon. Could it be...?
...Did you apply poison?
!
"Ouch...it hurts a little." Gong Lin gasped.
My heart jumped into my throat instantly. This was my golden opportunity!
If he dies, won't I become cannon fodder?
"Don't move!" I quickly took out the medicine powder I had prepared earlier from my bag and carefully sprinkled it on his wound.
"This medicine is specially made by me. It has excellent hemostatic and anti-inflammatory effects. Just bear with it."
"Are all those bottles and jars of yours really effective?" Gong Lin said this, but he still obediently let me treat his wound.
I glared at him: "Nonsense, don't you know who I am? I'm..."
Before I could finish speaking, I heard a "whoosh" and a dart flew over our heads and stuck in the wall behind us!
I froze completely. This thing... it fires automatically?!
Gong Lin pulled me into his arms and said in a deep voice, "Lie down!"
Then, he turned to look at me, a barely perceptible smile in his eyes?
"Looks like we're in trouble." "Trouble? I think it's exciting!" I lowered my voice, my adrenaline surging, feeling even more thrilled than playing paintball.
Hiding in Gong Lin's arms, I secretly observed the trajectory of the darts and actually figured out some tricks.
"Three inches to the left, quick!" I shouted. Gong Lin almost reflexively dodged to the left. A dart grazed his ear and stuck to the wall, buzzing loudly.
"Impressive, Miao Qing." Gong Lin chuckled softly; that voice was damnably captivating!
I feel my ears getting hot. What time is it? He's still flirting with me!
"Stop talking nonsense and deal with these things!" I shoved him. "I'll count to three, you charge to the right!"
"Roger that!"
I held my breath and silently counted in my mind: three, two, one!
Gong Lin dashed out like an arrow released from a bow, his agility was unbelievable.
He dodged left and right, and the darts didn't even manage to hurt him.
As expected of a second-generation elite soldier, his combat prowess is top-notch!
Just then, a dark figure darted out from the corner, holding a gleaming dagger, and headed straight for Gong Lin.
This guy is clearly a trained fighter; every move he makes is ruthless and deadly.
"Watch out!" I exclaimed, my heart leaping into my throat.
Gong Lin and the dark figure were locked in a fierce battle, and for a time it was difficult to determine a winner.
I'm as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, what should I do?
Even though I have a spatial ability, I can't just conjure a weapon out of thin air!
Wait, weapons...
My eyes lit up as I suddenly remembered the metal wristband the dark figure was wearing.
"Gong Lin, hit his wrist!" I shouted.
Upon hearing my words, Gong Lin immediately changed tactics and kicked the shadowy figure in the wrist.
With a "crack," the metal wrist guard shattered, and the shadowy figure's movements noticeably slowed down.
"Great opportunity!" I clenched my fist excitedly. Gong Lin pressed his advantage and knocked the dark figure to the ground with a punch.
Just as I was about to breathe a sigh of relief, Gong Lin suddenly groaned and staggered.
I rushed over to support him and saw that his face was pale and his forehead was covered in cold sweat.
"How are you?" I asked anxiously.
Gong Lin shook his head, gritting his teeth as he said, "It's nothing, just a minor injury..."
Before he could finish speaking, a chilling laugh suddenly came from the depths of the dark room…
A chilling laugh echoed in the dark room, like a cold, venomous snake coiling around my nerves.
I supported Gong Lin and looked warily in the direction from which the sound came.
In the darkness, a figure slowly emerged—it was Secretary Lin's repulsive face.
"Oh, you two are quite capable, managing to barge into this place," Secretary Lin said sarcastically, fiddling with a small remote control in his hand—a device that clearly wasn't anything good.
My heart skipped a beat; this old bastard was definitely up to no good!
I quickly checked Gong Lin's injuries. Fortunately, he had only been scratched on the arm by the shadowy figure, and it wasn't too serious.
I took out the medicine powder and bandages I had prepared beforehand from my storage space and carefully bandaged him up.
"Hiss..." Gong Lin gasped, and I glared at him: "If it hurts, just bear with it!"
He looked at me with eyes so tender they could melt your heart: "With you here, it doesn't hurt at all."
I rolled my eyes. This guy, what time is it, and he's still flirting!
However, his gaze is really a bit...
It makes your heart race.
I quickly lowered my head and focused on bandaging, feeling my cheeks getting a little hot.
"Tsk tsk tsk, how touching," Secretary Lin sneered from the side. "Too bad you two don't have time for your sweet nothings." He held up the remote control in his hand. "Do you know what this is? This is the self-destruct device for this secret room. I'll press this button, and the entire secret room will be reduced to ashes!"
I was shocked. Has this old man gone mad?!
"What do you want to do?!" I asked sharply.
"What do I want to do? Of course, I want to send you to meet the King of Hell!" Secretary Lin grinned maliciously. "However, before I send you on your way, I can give you a chance." He paused. "As long as you tell me what you are looking for here, I may consider letting you live."
"Dream on!" I refused without hesitation. "Even if we die, we won't tell you!"
"If you won't listen to reason, you'll have to suffer the consequences!" Secretary Lin's face darkened, and he was about to press the button.
Just then, I caught a glimpse of a combination lock box in the corner of the wall. The box looked ordinary, but it gave me a strange sense of familiarity.
"Wait!" I yelled. "I know what you're trying to do! You want to destroy all the evidence here, don't you?!"
Secretary Lin paused for a moment, her eyes flickering uncertainly.
"You think destroying these things will cover up your crimes? You're wrong! The truth will come out sooner or later!" I pointed to the briefcase. "I believe there are secrets hidden inside that you don't want anyone to know!"
Secretary Lin's expression changed drastically. He glared at me fiercely: "You...how did you know?!"
I sneered, "The net of heaven is vast, and though its meshes are wide, nothing escapes it! Your end has come!"
"Hmph, so what if you know? You don't even have time to open it!" Secretary Lin said, about to press the button.
"Gong Lin!" I shouted.
Gong Lin rushed forward and snatched the remote control from Secretary Lin's hand.
"Five minutes!" I stared at the combination lock on the suitcase. "Give me five minutes, and I can open it!"
My brain was working at lightning speed. This combination lock looks complicated, but it actually has a hidden mechanism!
Fortunately, I was once fascinated by cryptography, so this old-fashioned mechanical lock is a piece of cake for me!
"Three, two, one..." I muttered to myself, my fingers deftly moving the keypad.
With a click, the lock opened!
I yanked open the box, and inside lay a document lying quietly.
"Done!" I grabbed the documents and stuffed them into my bag.
"Let's go!" I grabbed Gong Lin and rushed outside.
"Want to leave? Not so easy!" Secretary Lin lunged forward, but was kicked away by Gong Lin and crashed into the wall, unable to get up for a long time.
"Let's go!" Gong Lin grabbed me and we ran quickly out of the dark room.
Just as we were escaping the dark room, a deafening roar came from behind us, and the entire ground shook.
"Holy shit!" I couldn't help but swear. The power of that explosion was just too much!
We were thrown by the shockwave of the explosion and crashed heavily to the ground.
I struggled to get up, feeling like my whole body was falling apart.
"Are you alright?" I asked Gong Lin anxiously.
He shook his head and helped me to my feet: "We need to get out of here quickly."
We helped each other up and stumbled away from the scene.
Looking back, the place where the darkroom used to be had become ruins.
"What exactly is this mastermind trying to cover up?" Gong Lin stared at the ruins, his eyes deep.
I brushed the dust off my clothes, a cold smile playing on my lips. "Whatever he's trying to cover up, we'll find him!" I pulled out the document; it was heavy. I didn't know what secrets it held, but my intuition told me this was the beginning of an even bigger storm…
