Quick Transmigration: I'm the Villain's Assistant to the Protagonist

Shen Ying's gaze was fixed on Su Lan, completely unaware of the strangeness under her feet.

In that instant, with a "whoosh," a large net shot out from both walls like lightning, precisely catching her within it.

Immediately afterwards, the net rapidly tightened, hoisting Shen Ying high into the air. She was suspended in mid-air, her face turning deathly pale with fright.

Shen Ying struggled desperately in the large net, which swayed violently, making a creaking sound that was particularly jarring in the quiet environment.

Su Lan ran back when he heard the noise. When he saw Shen Ying trapped, he was stunned for a moment, then showed a helpless yet doting smile.

"Why did you come along?" Su Lan asked as she quickly checked the mechanism, found the control button, pressed it, and the large net slowly descended.

Su Lan reached out to support Shen Ying and asked with concern, "Are you alright?"

Shen Ying was somewhat annoyed: "I'm fine. You always leave by yourself. There are traps here. Are you hiding something from me?"

Su Lan looked at her, her eyes becoming serious: "I don't want you to get involved in unnecessary danger. There are some things I can't say right now, but I'll tell you when it's safe."

"Are you doing some kind of research, like studying aliens or something?" Shen Ying stared at Su Lan intently, her gaze filled with an unquestionable inquiry.

Su Lan looked at Shen Ying quietly, a hint of hesitation flashing in her eyes, before finally letting out a soft sigh.

He was genuinely worried that Shen Ying would follow him again out of curiosity, and he couldn't imagine the consequences if she encountered danger. So, he extended his hand to Shen Ying: "Come with me."

Shen Ying was somewhat surprised, but she immediately took Su Lan's hand, and the two walked deeper and deeper into the intricate passages of the research institute, arriving at a more secluded location.

A heavy metal door appeared before them. Su Lan entered the password and verified her fingerprint on the control panel next to it, and the door slowly opened.

Inside was a laboratory, dimly lit, with various instruments and equipment arranged around it.

On the lab table were some drawings and data, and on the wall hung several anatomical diagrams of strange creatures.

In the center of the laboratory, there is a large weapon being assembled. Its appearance is very futuristic, and it exudes a cold metallic feel. Various tools and parts are placed around it.

Shen Ying looked at the weapon with curiosity.

"This is a weapon I'm researching. It can cause massive damage to aliens," Su Lan said, picking up a component and skillfully installing it onto the weapon.

Shen Ying's gaze fell on the complex equipment in the laboratory, but her thoughts drifted back to the time when she first met Su Lan.

At that time, the gun in Su Lan's hand left a deep impression on her.

The gun was extremely powerful, with a unique shape, smooth lines, and a mechanical beauty, like a weapon from the future.

She secretly pondered that the gun must have been researched and manufactured by Su Lan herself.

Thinking of this, Shen Ying couldn't help but sigh, this guy really is a genius.

He not only has profound knowledge in the field of biology, but is now also showing outstanding talent in weapons manufacturing.

Shen Ying sighed silently: If it weren't for the original owner's skills and attributes, she, an ordinary office worker, would have died the moment she appeared in this world.

Why are there such big differences between us, even though we are all human?

Several aliens were locked in cages nearby, emitting low growls and baring sharp fangs as they tried to break free.

Startled by the sound, Shen Ying then noticed the strange creatures. She approached Su Lan somewhat fearfully, and Su Lan gently patted her shoulder to comfort her.

"So these aliens... you really are studying them." Shen Ying's voice trembled slightly.

Su Lan looked at Shen Ying seriously: "That's right, I'm studying aliens."

I discovered that there is a source that coordinates the aliens, much like a queen bee directing worker bees; these ordinary aliens are like engineers.

I want to find the root cause by studying them. Only by eliminating the root cause can we truly get rid of the Xenomorph threat.

When Su Lan was explaining her plan, her eyes were focused and serious, and she was fiddling with the weapon parts in her hands.

At the same time, he seemingly casually moved his feet, cleverly pulling Shen Ying behind him, using his body to form a barrier, blocking Shen Ying's view of the alien.

He knew her too well; he knew that those hideous aliens were a nightmare for her, and even a single glance would fill her with terror.

Shen Ying tried hard to control her fear, but her body trembled slightly uncontrollably: "This is too dangerous. What if I lose control?"

Su Lan smiled slightly: "I know what I'm doing, and I'm very careful with every step. Besides, now that you know, there's one more person to keep an eye on me." As he spoke, he reached out and touched Shen Ying's head, his eyes full of trust and tenderness.

Shen Ying looked at Su Lan, feeling a mix of emotions. Su Lan's explanation was completely different from the game's description.

Her intuition, however, made her believe what the man in front of her was saying.

If his purpose in researching the Xenomorph is to find its origins, then what reason does she have to stop him?

She's doing something truly momentous—saving the world! Although this world is a game world to her, it's a real world to Su Lan and the original owner of this body.

Shen Ying was caught in a dilemma. After all, if she failed to complete the task, she would be eliminated by the system. What should she do?

In the days that followed, Shen Ying often followed Su Lan, passing through the dimly lit and quiet corridors of the research institute to reach this laboratory.

Strangely, since then, every time I come back, only the weapons-related equipment remains in the laboratory.

The cage that once housed the alien was now empty, and the chilling roars were no longer heard.

Looking at the empty corner, Shen Ying couldn't help but ask Su Lan, "Where are those aliens? They've all disappeared?"

Su Lan was focused on adjusting the weapon's parameters. Hearing her question, she slowed her movements slightly and looked up at her: "I've moved them to a safer place. After all, we still need to conduct weapon research and assembly here. Keeping the aliens here is too risky, and I don't want you to be worried every time you come."

Shen Ying frowned slightly: "A more secure place? Is it really safe? Won't something go wrong?"

Su Lan put down her tools, walked to Shen Ying's side, and gently patted her shoulder: "Don't worry, that place has been specially modified by me and has multiple protective measures. They can't escape. I won't let them have a chance to hurt anyone, especially you."

Shen Ying blushed slightly. Recently, Su Lan had become more and more direct in her speech and more and more intimate in her attitude. Her gentle yet firm gaze seemed to have a kind of magic, making her heart flutter like a deer every time she looked at her.

Amidst a mix of shyness and anticipation, unease lingered.

She knew that when the game ended, she would disappear regardless of whether the mission was completed.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but look at Su Lan. Looking into his serious and focused eyes, a terrible image flashed through her mind: What would Su Lan do if she left? Would he continue to struggle alone in this dangerous world? Would he think of her in some lonely moment?

These thoughts, like icy tides, constantly battered the newly ignited warmth in her heart, gradually shrouding her initially joyful spirit in gloom.
