How come the celestial technique I stole is so powerful?!-Chapter 103 Stealing the Purple Magic Stone

Led into the room, the young man who had escorted Lin Xiaosu to the door stopped at the edge and stayed outside.

Inside, apart from Mr. Dubian, there was also a young beauty kneeling and preparing tea for them.

Lin Xiaosu knew that this woman was an expert.

The young man who had brought him in was also an expert.

How skilled were they?

Roughly on par with Chang Ye.

There were others in the yard, and at least ten of them were at the Expert Realm.

In the entire building, experts were truly countless.

He really had no idea how Number 65 had broken through the defenses of these experts...

Regardless of how Number 65 had broken through, Lin Xiaosu didn’t plan to follow his path...

Because the path he was going to take was unimaginably different...

"Now can Mr. Huang be candid and state his intentions?" Mr. Dubian said.

"I was a bit hasty yesterday, and I forgot to mention something. So I made a special trip today to give Mr. Dubian a heads up," Lin Xiaosu said.

"Oh? What is it?"

"The Purple Magic Stone, I’ve set a secret mechanism on it. Blindly attempting to open it and triggering the mechanism would lead to unimaginable consequences." The Purple Magic Stone was the stone that had been stolen, and it was referred to as the Purple Magic Stone in the conversation between the two yesterday. All this information was obtained by Lin Xiaosu through Reverse Time and lip-reading.

Mr. Dubian’s eyebrows twitched slightly: "Is such an important matter really something Mr. Huang forgot?"

A slow smile spread across Lin Xiaosu’s face: "In front of Mr. Dubian, I won’t hide it from you; yesterday I also wanted to see if Mr. Dubian’s final arrangements for me were sincere. Now I have seen Mr. Dubian’s sincerity. In Daxia, we have an old saying: ’Responding to a peach with a plum, a heart for a heart.’ Hence, tonight I specially came to convey my apologies and to make up for my sincerity."

"Ha ha!" Mr. Dubian laughed heartily: "Mr. Huang is cautious as he has just arrived in Fusang, which is understandable. Now that we meet each other with honesty, the joy is profound! How about a drink?"

"I think, let’s disable this secret mechanism first, then I can enjoy that drink with peace of mind."

Mr. Dubian stood up: "Mr. Huang, please!"

"Mr. Dubian, after you!"

Both of them got up, walked through the corridor ahead, and entered a laboratory.

This laboratory, with the door looking very ordinary from the outside, but upon pressing a button, the wooden door slid silently to both sides, revealing that it was not a wooden door at all, but a steel door that was over three inches thick.

Inside the laboratory, several researchers dressed in white lab coats were either in front of computers or at experimental stations, and there was another steel door. Opening the steel door revealed a completely sealed small laboratory, and under a large glass hood over two meters tall, a faint purple glow was very peculiar.

Lin Xiaosu’s heart skipped a beat as his gaze was drawn to the center of the purple light, where lay the Purple Magic Stone that had been stolen from Changsheng Group.

Three gentle laser beams shot from three different directions, intersecting on this stone, evidently analyzing it.

His eyes fixed on the Purple Magic Stone.

Mr. Dubian watched him from the corner of his eye.

This laboratory was definitely not a place ordinary people could enter, but Huang Chengwang was obviously not an ordinary person.

He was the man who had taken the Purple Magic Stone from Daxia at the risk of his life.

The Purple Magic Stone was originally his, and having given it to the Royal Research Institute as an exchange for protection, he surely would not have any crooked thoughts.

Now, what needed to be pondered was: this man had studied the Purple Magic Stone for many years and was said to have a pile of findings; how to completely extract these research results.

It was foreseeable: the process of him revealing his research findings would not be pleasant.

Why?

Huang Chengwang had nothing left except for this amulet.

If he gave everything up all at once, he would lose all his value afterward.

A traitor to his country, when utterly devoid of value, would certainly become expendable.

This point, Huang Chengwang was surely aware of.

So, he would definitely squeeze out a little bit at a time like toothpaste, maintaining his value point to exchange for long-term protection from Fusang Country...

He would never imagine that the Huang Chengwang before him was a fake.

He was Lin Xiaosu.

At this moment, what was running at high speed in Lin Xiaosu’s mind was not the research results, but an escape route!

His brain had spun millions of times, but the decision came in an instant...

"Mr. Huang, where is the secret mechanism?"

Lin Xiaosu’s finger slowly extended, pointing towards the Purple Magic Stone in front of him...

Mr. Dubian’s eyes narrowed as he followed his finger...

Suddenly, the speed of this finger accelerated a hundredfold!

Shh!

A finger stopped on the glass cover.

The solid glass cover, which bullets couldn’t penetrate, cracked everywhere.

Mr. Dubian was utterly shocked, almost not daring to believe his own eyes.

Boom!

The finger retracted into a fist.

Lin Xiaosu threw a punch and the glass cover in front of him was completely shattered; his hand shot through the gap between two laser beams and clasped the Purple Magic Stone...

Mr. Dubian swiftly stepped aside...

As he side-stepped, a piece of glass swept past his neck, chilling to the bone!

The complexion of the young man who had been following them all along changed dramatically, his hand raised to draw the blade from his waist, but as soon as it was drawn, Lin Xiaosu’s fingers were already on the blade.

The next moment, the blade traced a beautiful arc.

Shh!

The youth’s head jerked suddenly to the side...

All the people in the laboratory looked up simultaneously... fɾēewebnσveℓ.com

In their shocked gaze, a figure darted through the lab like lightning and out into the corridor...

It wasn’t until this moment that the first cry of alarm sounded.

At the end of the corridor, two guards acted at the same time, one with a gun and the other with a knife. Bullets flew towards Lin Xiaosu’s chest like lightning. Lin Xiaosu’s body swerved sharply, gliding against the wall, as two bullets whizzed past his body.

He was already beside the guards, his hand swept out...

Shick!

Two guards’ heads flew into the air.

Out from the next room, three people burst out...

At the end of the corridor, in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window, Lin Xiaosu threw a punch, shattering the glass...

"Kill him!" Before the three words were fully uttered, Lin Xiaosu leaped up, passing through the still-scattering glass shards, shooting out the window.

Outside the window was the sea!

Among these three people, one moved fast as lightning, reaching the window in an instant, his hand stretched forward, his glove transforming into a dragon claw that detached and snatched at the free-falling Lin Xiaosu, with a thin rope trailing behind the claw.

If caught, Lin Xiaosu could be pulled back in.

Unexpectedly, just as the claw reached Lin Xiaosu’s shoulder, he somersaulted in midair, dodging the claw. A glint of cold light from his hand, he reflected the blade back towards the person at the window.

The man at the window caught the flying knife in the nick of time, but the force of the blade, empowered by the inner strength it contained, left him numb and halted his pursuit; he could only watch as Lin Xiaosu plummeted into the ocean...

On the grass below, four or five shadows leapt up, pouncing toward Lin Xiaosu, whose toes were already touching the water surface.

As they leapt, Lin Xiaosu was still there.

As they descended like diving eagles, Lin Xiaosu had already sunk into the water.

Even submerged, they were determined to capture him!

However, they suddenly felt their consciousness blur...

"Poison! There’s poison in the water..." someone shouted.

Among the five who had fallen, only one was frantically struggling in the water, as if unseen hands were choking him, while the other four fell silent, obviously having met their demise.

The struggling person lasted about five seconds before arching his back and sinking to the seabed.

This caused the dozen people who had reached the shore to halt, faces turning pale.

With just this delay, Lin Xiaosu had disappeared forever.

Yes, there was another person underwater, Chang Ye!

Chang Ye was his backup.

Lurking in the water, waiting for him, covering his retreat.

That was his plan.

As Lin Xiaosu plunged from the window into the sea, Chang Ye released the strongest poison.

How was it released?

Embarrassingly, she had opened a protective gate at the bottom, causing all living things within a hundred meters to belly up.

Not to mention those who dived into the water, even Lin Xiaosu, who had been vaccinated several times, felt his head spin upon plunging in.

Even he couldn’t withstand it.

Luckily, two pills were stuffed into his mouth underwater.

A fair hand grabbed his hand, and they dived underwater, gliding deeper into the ocean.

Among those two pills, one was an antidote. Although it couldn’t cure her most potent poison, it could still provide relief. What truly worked was Lin Xiaosu’s own Rejuvenation Skill.

And the other pill, that was a secret weapon, her latest invention, the oxygen pills, which when combined with saliva in the mouth, produced oxygen, allowing one to stay underwater for hours without a diving helmet.

After ten miles of underwater voyage, the crisis was essentially resolved.

With Lin Xiaosu’s Rejuvenation Skill operating at full capacity, Chang Ye’s poison was successfully neutralized, and the two emerged from the water. Chang Ye took a deep breath and asked, "How is the situation?"

"I killed Mr. Dubian!"

"Good. The restless soul of number 65 roaming the alien mountains and rivers can also rest in peace!" Chang Ye said, "The Royal Research Institute must also become chaotic just as we wish, how shall we take advantage amidst this chaos?"

Chang Ye didn’t ask about another matter of utmost importance - the purple stone.

Because she knew that the mission had failed.

There was nothing protruding from Lin Xiaosu’s entire body and that stone, with a diameter of five to six inches and weighing around seven to eight pounds, was very conspicuous. If he had been successful, she would have noticed early on.

The outcome was clear, so there was no need to dwell on that mission.

Because that mission was never theirs to begin with.

At the current stage, having already alarmed the enemy, success became even less likely...

A mysterious light flashed in Lin Xiaosu’s eyes: "What we do depends on what they do... What do you think they will do?"

Chang Ye slowly raised her head, her eyes also twinkling: "You framed Huang Chengwang and wanted to use the Royal Research Institute’s hands to drag him out of Zezhuo Island, creating an opportunity for us. Is this your idea of taking advantage amidst the chaos?"

In that instant, she felt she truly understood Lin Xiaosu’s meaning behind "taking advantage amidst the chaos."

Huang Chengwang was in Zezhuo Island, an island surrounded by water, tightly monitored, where not even a fly could get in, let alone approach to kill - even if one could forcefully break in, one would definitely end up brawling with the soldiers first. If the Black Dragon Society’s experts were alerted, anyone coming would be in deep trouble, so how to assassinate Huang Chengwang who is protected in the core circle?

That island was Huang Chengwang’s cocoon.

If you couldn’t break the cocoon, you couldn’t kill him.

Faced with such a situation, Lin Xiaosu chose not to confront it head-on; he created an opportunity where there was none. Since we can’t get on the island to kill Huang Chengwang, let’s use outside forces to draw him out!

So, he disguised himself as Huang Chengwang and killed someone from the Royal Research Institute.

Using the power of the Royal Research Institute to pull the turtle out of its shell!

This was not merely taking advantage amidst chaos, but also a chain of plans. Having interpreted this, Chang Ye realized how smart Comrade little Se was...
