Rebirth with a Space to Counterattack and Abuse the Scumbag

Gong Lin held my hand and we sped along. I was still in shock that "the downtown department store was actually the final obstacle" when suddenly the brakes came on, and I almost crashed into the windshield.

"Ouch, my back!" I complained, rubbing my nose. This soldier was driving way too recklessly!

Gong Lin ignored my rambling and scanned the surroundings with eyes like a hawk.

We weren't even in the city center; we were outside an abandoned factory on the outskirts of the city.

Withered vines climbed the dilapidated red brick wall, the mottled iron gate was rusty, a cold wind whistled down one's neck, and an indescribable eeriness permeated the air, making one's hair stand on end.

This place is definitely a treasure trove of ghost story material!

I swallowed hard. "Gong Lin, are you sure you didn't wander onto the wrong set? This...this place is creepy, it feels even scarier than that supposedly haunted toilet at our school!"

Gong Lin didn't say anything, but just walked around the factory, occasionally touching the walls and looking up at the roof. His expression was just like that of a scout surveying the terrain.

Suddenly, he stopped at a corner, squinting as he carefully observed something.

Curious, I leaned closer. "What did you find? It's not a spider web, is it? This place has been abandoned for so long, it must..."

Before he could finish speaking, Gong Lin suddenly made a move, and with a "smack," a small electronic component fell to the ground.

Upon closer inspection, I realized it was a pinhole camera!

"Holy crap! Taking pictures secretly?" I exclaimed.

Gong Lin didn't explain, but found several more similar cameras and dealt with them all swiftly and efficiently.

As I watched his fluid and graceful movements, I couldn't help but starry-eyed. This man was absolutely stunning!

It's like a real-life 007!

As expected of the man I've set my sights on, his observation skills and abilities are top-notch!

"Let's go." Gong Lin said succinctly, pushing open the rusty iron door with a creaking sound, as if warning us: High-energy alert ahead!

I took a deep breath and followed Gong Lin into the warehouse.

The warehouse was pitch black, so dark you couldn't see your hand in front of your face. A damp, musty smell hit me, and I couldn't help but shiver.

Gong Lin took out a flashlight, and the dim beam of light streaked across the darkness, illuminating a small area in front of him.

"Be careful, Qingqing." Gong Lin's voice was deep and powerful, which made me feel inexplicably at ease.

We walked forward cautiously. The ground was littered with all sorts of debris: broken machines, rusty iron barrels, and some things whose shapes were no longer recognizable...

thing.

Suddenly, a soft "click" sounded, and my heart skipped a beat...

Gong Lin grabbed my hand. "Don't move!"

"Holy crap! What kind of setting is this?!" I exclaimed, instinctively grabbing Gong Lin's arm, feeling like my heart was about to jump out of my chest.

A huge iron cage fell from the sky with a loud bang, trapping us inside.

In the dim light, I could see that the iron cage was made of very sturdy material, and there were some strange wires wrapped around it, it looked...

They seem like they're not to be trifled with.

"Oh no, Barbie Q is gone!" I was on the verge of tears; this plot wasn't going in the right direction!

Where's the female lead's halo?

Is this going to turn into a "catch the turtle in the jar" scenario?

I imagined the scene of Gong Lin and me being hung up and tortured by the villainous boss, and I couldn't help but shudder.

Gong Lin was much calmer than me. He carefully shone a flashlight on the iron cage and touched the wires, his brows furrowing slightly.

"Tsk, interesting." He pulled something that looked like a Swiss Army knife from his pocket and started fiddling with the lock on the iron cage.

I stared at him nervously, barely daring to breathe.

This thing looks very complicated. Can Miya Rin really open it?

What if we accidentally trigger something even more dangerous?

such as……

electric shock?

poison gas?

or……

They'll just crush us into meat patties?

My imagination started running wild, and all sorts of terrifying images played out in my mind.

As time passed, my heart grew heavier.

Just when I was about to despair, I heard a "click" and the iron cage door opened!

I can hardly believe my eyes!

Gong Lin, he really opened it!

"Wow, Gong Lin!" I excitedly hugged him. "You're like my Superman!"

Gong Lin calmly put away his "Swiss Army knife," a slight smile playing on his lips. "Basic procedure." He took my hand. "Let's go."

We had barely stepped out of the iron cage, and before we could even catch our breath, we heard a chilling laugh coming from deep within the warehouse…

"Hehe, welcome to my game..." The light was even dimmer in the depths of the warehouse, and a damp, rotten smell permeated the air, making me wrinkle my nose.

This place is gloomy and makes people very uncomfortable. I always feel that there is something dirty hiding in the dark, ready to jump out and scare me at any time.

I instinctively moved closer to Gong Lin, who then took my hand in his. The warmth of his palm seeped through the thin gloves, which reassured me a lot.

"With me here, nothing will happen to you." Gong Lin's voice was deep and firm, like a reassuring pill that instantly calmed my anxiety.

I looked at him gratefully, a warm feeling welling up inside me.

Miya Rin is so reliable!

We continued walking, the only sound echoing in the silent warehouse.

The atmosphere was so tense it was suffocating. I felt my nerves were stretched taut, like a fully drawn bowstring that could snap at any moment.

Suddenly, several figures appeared ahead, holding weapons that gleamed coldly in the dim light.

"Holy crap, no way? We've already encountered some monsters so soon?" I muttered to myself.

These thugs looked menacing and were clearly not good people; they looked like extras who had just stepped out of a gangster movie.

"It seems we've found the 'Welcome Committee.'" Gong Lin's tone remained calm, as if the group of fierce thugs in front of him were just lambs to the slaughter.

He gently pulled me behind him, saying, "Hold on tight."

I gripped Gong Lin's clothes tightly, my heart pounding.

This is no joke, what if...

Before I could even start to think, I heard Gong Lin whisper, "Be careful." Then, he dashed forward like an arrow released from a bow...

Gong Lin's fighting skills are absolutely amazing!

Just like the heroes described in martial arts novels, he is graceful and his movements are fluid and effortless; he is practically a human weapon!

I'm getting a little dizzy looking at it.

Those thugs were like paper in front of him, utterly vulnerable.

But I wasn't idle either. After all, I've watched hundreds of episodes of Detective Conan, and I'm best at analyzing cases and deducing flaws!

While hiding behind Gong Lin—safety first, of course—I observed the thugs' movements, looking for their weaknesses.

"Gong Lin, the one on the left, his legs aren't very nimble!" I noticed one of the thugs was walking strangely. "And the one on the right, his eyes are darting around, he's obviously a coward, definitely no match for him!"

As expected of a second-generation elite soldier, Gong Lin understood immediately and changed tactics, focusing on the two weaknesses I pointed out.

Sure enough, in no time, the two thugs were on the ground groaning in pain.

Seeing that things were not going well, the remaining thugs were starting to consider running away.

"Trying to run? Not so easy!" I picked up a stone from the ground and threw it at one of the thugs who was trying to slip away.

Although his aim wasn't very good and he missed, he still managed to scare him and make him fall flat on his face.

"Gong Lin, finish them off!" Just as we were about to break through the blockade of these henchmen, a huge roar suddenly came from the depths of the warehouse, shaking the ground.

My heart skipped a beat, and a sense of foreboding washed over me.

This sound...

It sounds like...

"Oh no! Get down!" Gong Lin tackled me to the ground.

"What's going on?!" Before I could react, I felt something whistling past my head...
