Chapter 951: Chapter 949: Prism (22) Chapter 951: Chapter 949: Prism (22) Plain-colored long robes, an exquisite short bow, Red Dragon was right–not far from the trio, stood one of the lost team members, Lady Qing.

And at this moment, her gaze was undoubtedly locked onto Fu Qian, unable to hide her shock.

That wasn’t surprising, since by normal judgment, the odds of this vanguard surviving should not have been high.

“You’re here.”

However, compared to Lady Star and her companion, Qing was noticeably more composed, quickly reining in her emotions as she greeted them and stepped forward.

“You didn’t go down below?”

Instead, it was Lady Star who couldn’t wait to express her shock.

“Is the real lab underneath?”

Qing initially startled, then instantly realized something.

“No wonder… It seems you made quite the discovery!”

“Not bad, a lot of the information was obtained by Guansi.”

In the moments just passed, Lady Star had also come to understand the things Fu Qian did with Michelle and the senior expert, from what she learned from Red Dragon, and thus, she even felt a bit uneasy looking directly at Fu Qian, let alone trying to claim any credit.

“Really?”

Having taken a deep look at Fu Qian, Qing didn’t seem to doubt it too much.

The fact that he survived under those circumstances had already proven too much.

“Let’s talk as we walk.”

Finding a team member so quickly, Red Dragon appeared somewhat exhilarated. However, he didn’t rush to catch up on old times but instead reminded them,
“The entryway is on the top floor, right? Then we indeed need to be quick. Judging from earlier, blue might not last for long.”

It was evident, with just a few sentences and the actions of the three individuals, Qing had made a lot of guesses and wasn’t surprised at this moment.

“Masked Man and the death row inmate might be inside, and once it turns red, it will be very bad news.”

“Okay.”

Red Dragon felt the comfort of conversing with smart people and directly continued leading the way.

…

“So you became security personnel with Red Dragon, while Guansi even made it outside?”

“Yes, Guansi guessed it might be because he had more interactions with the cat.”

“It’s not impossible, but it obviously seems quite random.”

Facing Lady Star’s comments, Qing nodded slightly.

The time between Guansi’s departure and the color change was not long; even if he had gone directly downstairs, it wouldn’t have been enough to run outside.

“But no matter what, it’s not a bad thing. You have gained some very important information.”

The next moment, she sighed.

“Compared to you, my gains are pitifully small!”

“It’s good that nothing happened to you. We actually thought you’d gone down below, so we didn’t search everywhere. It was lucky that we happened to meet up.”

Lady Star, who had the strongest sense of team spirit, was already quite pleased with the current situation.

“I was originally planning to go up for a bit.”

Qing nodded slightly.

“But that was only because I more or less guessed the lab outside was just for show. After all, those colleagues I sat with didn’t seem to be doing any real work.”

“You became part of the staff?”

Lady Star could hardly hide her surprise.

“Yes, I was quite pleased when I initially realized this. Little did I think it might be because of the rumors, our range of movement was extremely limited, and we were not allowed to talk much with each other. I’ve been trapped until now.”

Qing sighed.

“Only after realizing those people did nothing did I subtly confirm they were ‘coming out’ to rest.”

“And combining that with the number of people on the rooftop before, I guessed the entrance might be there. Was the commotion before the transformation caused by Guansi?”

After telling her story, Qing looked at Fu Qian.

It wasn’t hard to guess; among the four people present, only Guansi was armed.

“Considering the transformation was imminent, I tried to learn as much information as possible.”

Fu Qian didn’t bother with false modesty.

“Based on feedback, this ‘company’ is clearly very confident in the safety of the current research project. So, in the face of rumors, they chose to handle the rumor-mongers first, like Adele’s neighbor Paul.”

“As for what we’re looking for, it might be located on the last floor of Section 3 below.”

“You have indeed gained a lot…”
Digesting the information Fu Qian provided, even the calm Lady Qing couldn’t help but express her genuine sentiment.

“After all, it’s just an inference from external deductions. If all goes well, we should be able to get more in-depth data in a little while.”

By this Fu Qian meant Masked Man and the others.

“Yes, let’s hope they bring back more good news–we’re here.”

Qing shook her head, the next moment gesturing towards the front.

In the midst of their conversation, the group had once again arrived in front of the door that had never been opened.

“Guansi.”

After a brief check confirming that the door was still closed, Red Dragon called out to Fu Qian.

“Okay.”

As the technical expert, Fu Qian stepped up to the responsibility.

While he worked, Red Dragon pressed his ear against the door, listening for any noise inside.

Although the last exaggerated reaction when opening the door had been explained as a coincidence, it still made everyone vigilant.

Luckily, nothing particular happened.

No fluorescence, no roaring–just a light click, and like last time, Fu Qian stepped back.

Seeing this, Red Dragon applied force, and the next moment the door swung open.

…

“It seems it really was a coincidence last time.”

For a moment, everyone collectively exhaled in relief.

The long-anticipated top floor behind the door was astonishingly spacious, completely empty at a glance.

The only conspicuous thing was an elevator in the corner.

But what delighted them most was that, unlike the outside, this elevator was open at this moment.

“How could such belief in predicting disaster and choosing full evacuation of all personnel have taken place, yet only this elevator remains open? Could there be some personnel left behind?”

However, this overly convenient scene instead made the adventurers, who had probed their way here, hesitate, crowding around the elevator without immediately pressing the button.

“Don’t be so pessimistic, it could also be our people.”

Faced with Lady Star’s worries, Qing showed a decisive side.

“Done by Masked Man and the others?”

Red Dragon was slightly startled.

“At the very least if I were down below, I would definitely do so. I’d try to operate the elevator to provide access for any allies who might come from the outside.”

Qing nodded her head.

“Then we better hurry.”

Red Dragon clearly agreed with this idea and quickly stepped forward to try it.

“It seems we need an access card activation.”

But the next moment, he spotted a problem.

“This is where it gets troublesome.”

Qing sighed, her voice almost grinding her teeth.

“I don’t have one, and the most frustrating thing is, after realizing the color was changing, I attacked and knocked out a colleague, only to find that jerk didn’t have one either.”

She was indeed resolute, but alas… why must playing hooky be so hard!

Seeing his three teammates’ distressed expressions, Fu Qian inwardly lamented, then produced a card and tossed it to Red Dragon.

It was Oliver’s access card, and such items he had collected hadn’t disappeared with the time-space transformation.
