The surging flames swallowed the supernatural creatures trailing at the back.
They couldn't even manage a full scream before their bodies carbonized in the fire, eventually turning into black ash.
The alloy doors of the labs on both sides quickly turned glowing red under the terrifying heat.
The creatures that tried to use their bodies to block the doors and stop the fire from rushing in made a sizzling sound as they touched the metal plates. The intense pain caused them to recoil instinctively.
Losing the final obstacle, the torrent of fire slammed open the partially closed doors and poured into the labs.
In an instant, everything inside the rooms was ignited, turning them into a sea of fire.
At that moment, Yue Shi heard a strange set of footsteps coming from behind the passage.
He and Ghost turned around simultaneously.
In the midst of the sea of fire, a humanoid figure composed purely of the fire element was slowly walking toward them.
The figure had no facial features, and its outline distorted slightly in the high heat. Wherever it passed, even the air crackled and popped.
He wasn't deliberately hunting those supernatural creatures; it was more like he was engaging in an act of indiscriminate destruction.
The creatures burned to death were merely ants crushed along his path of ruin.
‘The other intruder.’
Yue Shi watched him.
This little fire man was visibly powerful and was not someone to be trifled with.
Before completely destroying Lab 0 and achieving his primary goal, Yue Shi did not intend to invite unnecessary trouble by engaging with this intruder of unknown origins.
“Let’s go.” He grabbed the plush bear Ghost was possessing, and the two of them vanished from the spot.
The fire man scanned the surroundings and then increased the intensity of the incineration.
...
After several blinks and teleports, Yue Shi and Ghost appeared before an exceptionally thick alloy door.
This door was hidden away, and its protection level far exceeded anything they had seen before.
According to the information gathered previously and the guidance of the 【Trace Seeking】 ability, behind this door should be the true core of Lab 0—the high-level office area and the location of top-secret projects.
Now that the lab was in complete chaos and the defensive forces were being tied down by the other intruder, it was the perfect time to strike directly at the heart.
Yue Shi opened the door with brute force.
Behind the door was an area completely different from the lower labs.
The lighting was soft, the environment was tidy, and the air carried a faint scent of purification agent.
Looking around, there were individual glass rooms separated by high-strength transparent materials.
These glass rooms weren't cages; they were more like observation rooms or high-end display cases.
And those confined within these glass rooms were not low-level supernatural creatures, but special supernatural creatures with rare abilities, as well as living transcendents.
Some were imprisoned on specialized instruments, their bodies covered in tubes and wires.
Others were submerged in containers filled with liquid, their eyes tightly closed, their status between life and death unknown.
There were also a few who were conscious. Seeing Yue Shi barge in, they used all their strength to pound on the glass, casting pleading gazes his way.
Yue Shi’s gaze swept over these glass rooms without stopping for a second, nor was there even a hint of emotion in his eyes.
He didn't possess a noble quality like sympathy born of shared experience.
Continuing deeper along the central passage, Yue Shi and Ghost soon arrived at the innermost part of this area.
There was only one door here, with a small observation port on it.
Through the glass, Yue Shi saw a corridor even more heavily guarded. Many rooms were distributed on both sides, and there was another door at the end of the corridor.
In the corridor, at least twenty fully armed security personnel were standing guard with guns.
Yue Shi deactivated his concealment and stood outside the door in a grand manner.
When the people inside saw Yue Shi’s face, their expressions froze, followed by overwhelming terror.
This face had already become a synonym for their nightmares through the internal alarms and surveillance footage!
“It—it’s him!”
“How did he break in?”
Yue Shi used his old trick again, violently destroying this inner door and standing at the entrance of the corridor.
Ghost stood silently behind him.
The moment he appeared, all the security personnel in the corridor immediately pulled their triggers.
Gunfire crackled like popping beans as a dense hail of bullets poured toward Yue Shi.
However, all the bullets were blocked when they were still five centimeters away from Yue Shi’s body.
The bullet heads clattered as they piled up on the barrier in front of Yue Shi, forming a metal plate that grew thicker and thicker.
Yue Shi’s footsteps did not pause for a moment. He walked toward the depths of the corridor, pushing through the hail of bullets.
Most of the transcendents responsible for defense seemed to have been sent out; those remaining here were just ordinary security personnel.
They saw Yue Shi constantly approaching, yet they stood their ground with resolute faces.
Yue Shi granted them their wish for loyalty to Lab 0.
Short screams rang out and were quickly silenced.
By the time Yue Shi reached the door at the end of the corridor, the security personnel were all dead.
He looked into the room through the glass on the door.
Inside the room, there was only an old man wearing a white researcher's uniform, with a red birthmark on his forehead and a face as pale as paper.
Su Yuanhe!
The one he killed last time was indeed a fake.
Su Yuanhe’s gaze met Yue Shi’s outside the door. He jerked violently, stumbling backward and knocking over instruments on the lab bench behind him, completely oblivious to the mess.
BOOM!!!
With a loud explosion, the final line of defense—the thick, specialized alloy door—was broken open by Yue Shi in the most brutal way possible.
Twisted metal fragments flew in all directions.
Yue Shi walked in slowly, step by step.
The sound of his footsteps was clearly audible in the silent room, like a countdown from the god of death.
“Don’t—don’t come any closer!” Su Yuanhe backed against the lab bench with nowhere left to retreat. He shouted in a blustering voice, trying to maintain a final shred of dignity.
“So you can feel fear too.” Yue Shi stopped his pace and spoke sarcastically.
Su Yuanhe’s expression shifted repeatedly. He had received notice long ago that one of the people invading the lab today was the Otherworldly Visitor!
More than half a year ago, the Otherworldly Visitor had broken free from all restraints in an incredible manner and successfully escaped from this lab.
Now, he had fought his way back!
Su Yuanhe couldn't understand how the Otherworldly Visitor had broken through the layers of defense outside to arrive directly at the core area of the lab.
But he knew all too well the purpose of the experimental subject’s return. Other than revenge, there could be no other reason!
Thinking of the various extremely cruel experiments they had conducted to study the transmigrator, a chill ran from his spine straight to his skull cap.
This research project was something Su Yuanhe himself had participated in formulating, and he had led the vast majority of the experimental plans!
Seeing Yue Shi step forward again, Su Yuanhe moved to the side in terror.
Yue Shi’s eyes turned cold as he completely locked down the space within the room.
Su Yuanhe had nowhere to run, and he couldn't use any of his countermeasures or emergency measures.
Yue Shi was doing his best to suppress his killing intent. Simply killing Su Yuanhe would be far too easy on him.
“Are you the real Su Yuanhe? You aren't another fake, are you?” Yue Shi walked up to him, looking down with a scrutinizing gaze.
“I am the man himself,” Su Yuanhe blurted out instinctively.
As soon as the words left his mouth, his expression changed drastically. How could he have revealed the truth so easily?
He immediately realized that the Otherworldly Visitor before him must possess some kind of ability to interfere with the mind!
Yue Shi smiled, a smile more hideous than an evil ghost's.
“It’s good that you’re the real one.”
He reached out, grabbed Su Yuanhe by the collar, and dragged the old man toward the exit.
“Where are you taking me? Let me go!” Su Yuanhe struggled incessantly.
Beside them, Ghost had already sharpened his blades. He pulled a high-definition camera, apparently used to record experimental processes, out of a storage cabinet.
Yue Shi dragged Su Yuanhe toward a specific room.
The punishment room, specially used to torture disobedient experimental subjects.
Three sides of the punishment room were walls, while the last side was one-way reinforced glass, specially for the researchers outside to observe the effects of the punishment.
In the center of the room was a specialized steel chair, equipped with straps to restrain the limbs and neck.
Beside the steel chair were various intimidating devices: electroshock devices with adjustable voltage and current, precision instruments for monitoring physiological data, and some strangely shaped torture tools.
There were many cameras in the punishment room. Almost the instant Yue Shi stepped inside, those cameras swiveled in unison, their lenses focusing on him.
Ghost let out a cold snort and raised his short sword to destroy the cameras.
“No need,” Yue Shi spoke to stop him.
Under Ghost’s puzzled gaze, Yue Shi dragged the desperately struggling Su Yuanhe in front of him and gripped his chin hard.
“I want them to watch with their own eyes. I want them to see how their supervisor is tortured to death by me.”
Yue Shi’s voice sounded as if it came from the depths of hell. Through the cameras, it was transmitted to the ears of every high-level official who might be watching.
“Alright then.” Ghost immediately understood Yue Shi’s intention.
He raised the camera he had just snatched, adjusting the angle and striving to capture every brilliant detail.
“Give me a close-up in a bit. This is a performance by the lab’s highest supervisor; it’ll be my collector’s edition entertainment to watch over dinner.”
Su Yuanhe felt like his chin was about to be crushed. Pain and humiliation overwhelmed him.
He endured the pain and hurriedly spoke, “Wait, listen to me! Although I am the supervisor of this lab, I am essentially just a researcher! I was also following instructions from above!
“There are many labs like this one all over the place. I wasn't targeting you personally; I was just executing orders. You can't do this to me!”
“You’re right.” Yue Shi nodded.
Just as a glimmer of hope flashed in Su Yuanhe’s eyes, Yue Shi added, “But I’m not listening.”
The words choked in Su Yuanhe’s throat. He gritted his teeth and tried to take the moral high ground. “The research in the lab is to explore the mysteries of the supernatural, to gain the power to combat supernatural creatures, and ultimately to save this world on the brink of collapse.”
“Even the Bureau has tacitly allowed our existence. You can't blame everything on me. To save this world, some sacrifices must be made. It is a necessary price.”
Yue Shi nodded again, showing understanding. “I get it. To achieve a goal, one can use any means necessary because the end justifies the means.”
Su Yuanhe quickly agreed, “Yes, that’s exactly it. It’s good that you can understand...”
“What a coincidence.” Yue Shi interrupted him, a sinister smile appearing on his face. “I’m also the type of person who uses any means necessary.”
“Therefore, I will use every possible method to kill every single one of you. As long as someone has even the slightest connection to this lab, I will uproot every... last... one... of... them!”
The naked killing intent made Su Yuanhe feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.
Seeing that neither pleading nor self-righteousness could reach the other party, Su Yuanhe threw caution to the wind and threatened, “If you dare touch me, the forces behind me will never let you go!”
“The Bureau won't sit idly by either! Once we reveal to the world that you are a transmigrator, you will be the enemy of the entire world! There will be nowhere for you to hide!”
The word ‘transmigrator’ was like a sudden clap of thunder.
The plush bear Ghost was possessing almost dropped the camera in shock.
A—A transmigrator?
Yue Shi was a transmigrator!
Yue Shi merely let out a disdainful sneer. “You’re talking as if you’re the victims here.”
“If I don't touch you, would you lot let me go?”
“Old man, haven't you seen the situation clearly yet? It’s not about whether you’re willing to let me go, it’s that... I don't want to spare you!”
“Whether it’s you, the family behind you, or even the Bureau that allowed all this, I will find them all one by one, skin them alive, and grind their bones to ash!”
Su Yuanhe’s pupils shook violently, as if he had heard the world’s biggest joke. “What do you think you are? How much ability do you think you have? You want to go against the family behind me and the Bureau?”
“You’re just a mere transmigrator. Cooperate honestly with our research and contribute your value to the survival of this world. Perhaps, for the sake of the research results, you might even have a decent end.”
Yue Shi burst into laughter. “You said it yourself; I’m a transmigrator. What does the life or death of this world have to do with me?”
He paused, looking at Su Yuanhe as if he were an idiot. “I didn't expect that at your age, you’d still have such a juvenile mindset.”
“Did you read too many novels and manga, thinking that everyone who transmigrates will take the responsibility of saving the world upon themselves?”
“Give it a rest. This world doesn't deserve to be saved. You people only deserve to eat maggots in a cesspool for all eternity!”
Su Yuanhe’s eyes widened, his chest heaving violently. Fear and resentment intertwined as the fire of jealousy burned wildly in his heart.
Why!
Why could these ignorant low-lifes awaken such powerful supernatural abilities!
While a high-born, brilliant scientific genius like him could only be an ordinary person!
Why, after exhausting his life’s work, trying countless methods, and even conducting forbidden experiments, could he still not obtain supernatural power for himself!
Damn it!
These fools who possessed supernatural power but had no sense of the big picture, no spirit of sacrifice, and only knew how to make money to support their small families—they all deserved to die!
“Seeing how talkative he is, maybe we should pull out his tongue first to get some peace and quiet.” Ghost held his short sword, gesturing near Su Yuanhe’s mouth.
“Now, how could we do that~” Yue Shi drawled, his smile becoming increasingly cruel. “If we pull out his tongue, he won't be able to scream later, and where’s the fun in that?~”
As he spoke, he ignored Su Yuanhe’s glare and struggle, dragging the old-timer toward the electric chair in the center of the room.
“Stop, stop it! You can't do this!” Su Yuanhe was both terrified and furious, his voice cracking.
No one knew the effects of that chair better than he did; he had ordered others to sit on it and endure torture countless times.
But the more furious and terrified he was, the happier Yue Shi became.
Under the gaze of several cameras, Yue Shi pressed the struggling and wailing Su Yuanhe firmly onto the electric chair.
Ghost coordinated perfectly, locking Su Yuanhe down tightly.
The two of them then took the electrodes connected to the electroshock equipment and pasted them one by one onto the sensitive parts of Su Yuanhe’s body.
As Su Yuanhe watched their movements, the terror in his eyes almost overflowed. His body twisted futilely, trying to break free from the restraints.
He knew all too well what he was about to endure. It wasn't just physical pain, but the ultimate destruction of his nerves and will.
Yue Shi looked up, glancing at those cameras once more, the corners of his mouth curling upward.
Then, without hesitation, he pressed the start button on the electroshock controller.
...
“NO!!!”
“Aaaagh...”
A shrill scream erupted from Su Yuanhe’s mouth.
His body was surged with current, and the electroshock brought ultimate agony. He convulsed and trembled violently, his muscles tensed and distorted, his eyeballs bulged, and saliva flowed uncontrollably from the corner of his mouth. He bounced wildly on the chair, slamming against the metal restraints with muffled thuds.
On the monitoring screen, his heart rate and other data instantly turned into a series of spikes, and alarms went off.
Yue Shi watched all this with pleasure, as if appreciating a play.
Ghost, meanwhile, held the camera, recording every frame of Su Yuanhe’s agonizingly distorted expression.
Then, Yue Shi’s finger slowly turned the knob on the electroshock controller.
The current intensity increased by exactly one level—enough to drive a person mad with pain, yet not immediately fatal.
Su Yuanhe’s original scream stopped abruptly, his mouth opening to an exaggerated width.
His eyeballs bulged, bloodshot, and he made a raspy, wheezing sound. His body shook violently under the piercing current, his muscles convulsing wildly.
The torture lasted for a dozen seconds, yet it felt as long as a century.
Yue Shi gently turned off the controller.
“Haa!” Su Yuanhe sucked in a breath of air that carried a scorched smell.
The intense pain receded like a tide, leaving behind a tearing sensation in every cell of his body and an indescribable weakness.
He slumped in the chair, without even the strength to lift a finger, let alone speak.
“Is that it? I only just tried the most basic project.” Yue Shi put down the controller, speaking with a hint of disappointment, as if evaluating an unreliable toy.
He looked up at the surveillance cameras in the punishment room, his expression cruel and chilling.
Then, he walked to the tool cart by the wall, his gaze sweeping over the array of torture tools.
Yue Shi found two electrode patches connected to wires. His movements were practiced; he didn't need to read a manual to know the use, operation, and actual effect of every tool.
After all, he had experienced them personally.
He placed the electrode patches on Su Yuanhe’s temples, which were constantly seeping cold sweat.
The cold touch made Su Yuanhe jerk.
“Wait...” He used all his strength to squeeze a weak voice from his throat, his eyes full of pleading, no longer possessing his previous decorum.
Yue Shi considerately leaned down, bringing his ear closer to hear more clearly.
“Wait, listen to me...” Su Yuanhe gasped for air, trying to gain a moment’s respite.
Or rather, trying to find a possibility for negotiation.
Yue Shi smiled, seemingly encouraging him to continue.
But at the very instant a glimmer of hope appeared in Su Yuanhe’s eyes...
Yue Shi’s finger directly pressed the switch on the electroshock controller.
“AAAAAGH!!!”
This time, the scream was not just pure physical pain, but also contained a soul-piercing shriek.
Su Yuanhe’s body arched upward, the veins on his neck and forehead bulging.
He twisted wildly, his head shaking violently in an attempt to shake off the electrodes on his temples. The steel chair creaked under his struggles.
But it was in vain.
The straps restraining him were very firm—something he should have known well himself.
At this moment, he only felt like his head was a balloon being constantly inflated, about to explode. It felt like someone was trying to rip his head in half, then taking a red-hot iron rod and sticking it into his brain, stirring it thoroughly.
Under this ultimate agony, he could not think, he lost all concept of time, and even temporarily forgot himself.
The only thing that existed was that boundless, never-ending pain!
“Hehe, hahahaha.”
Watching Su Yuanhe struggle wildly on the electric chair and hearing his incoherent wails, Yue Shi couldn't help but chuckle softly.
Ghost, standing to the side with the camera, was excitedly adjusting the focus, giving a close-up of Su Yuanhe’s agonizingly distorted face.
“Good, the expression is perfect. The despair in the eyes is very real. Keep it up! Yes, just like that! This is precious artistic material.”
After continuously torturing Su Yuanhe for nearly a minute, Yue Shi turned off the controller.
Any longer and this old guy might have a mental breakdown and become an idiot. Then the subsequent programs wouldn't be able to continue.
The instant the current stopped, Su Yuanhe’s body went limp, and he slumped in the chair, losing consciousness.
But Yue Shi knew very well that he wasn't truly unconscious.
His brain was still enduring the aftershocks of the torture; that agonizing sensation of his head being about to explode hadn't diminished at all. His bodily functions had merely initiated a protective shock.
Fainting was a luxury for him.
And Su Yuanhe’s wretched, distorted appearance was being live-streamed through the cameras in the punishment room to every lab higher-up watching on a screen.
Ghost handed the camera to Yue Shi and personally started the electroshock.
“Aaaagh!”
Under the stimulation of the strong current, Su Yuanhe was forcibly awakened, letting out a raspy roar.
That wrinkled old face was distorted like an evil ghost's from the ultimate agony. His sagging skin and bulging veins made him look hideous.
Survival instinct made him burst with a final surge of strength, desperately pulling at the restraints, creating a piercing sound.
Ghost did not stop, increasing the current intensity once more.
Su Yuanhe’s head snapped back, pressing hard against the metal backrest, his eyes bulging so much they seemed about to tear.
He felt like all the air in his lungs was being squeezed out for a silent scream.
Now he couldn't make a single sound; he could only open his mouth wide, looking even more pathetic than a stranded fish.
“I feel like he’s not miserable enough yet,” Ghost murmured softly.
Yue Shi pulled out a scalpel. “Then let’s skin him alive.”
Ghost thought about it and stopped the electroshock. “Good idea. He used to skin others; now it’s time for him to have a taste of the good life.”
Under Su Yuanhe’s terrified gaze, Yue Shi gestured with the knife over the top of his head. “I don't have much experience. This Total Fungal Skin Detachment Technique... please bear with it.”
“No, no!” Su Yuanhe pleaded instinctively.
Ghost comforted Yue Shi, “It’s okay if you don't have experience. Just practice more in the future; practice makes perfect.”
Given Yue Shi’s current attitude, there was an eighty percent chance he would pursue infinite accountability. In the future, many more people would likely be skinned alive by him.
Yue Shi stuffed a willow leaf into Su Yuanhe’s mouth—a leaf from the healing-type supernatural object 【Spring Is Not Late】—to prevent Su Yuanhe from dying suddenly during the skinning process.
Su Yuanhe only felt his body suddenly become comfortable for a moment, and then a sharp pain came from his scalp.
Yue Shi cut a slit in his scalp, seemingly wanting to pull his entire person out of his skin.
Ghost placed the camera in a suitable position, raised his short sword, and also joined in this bloody feast.
The sound of skin and flesh being cut intertwined with continuous wails.
Truth be told, a living person’s skin was very tough. Even for an old man, it was difficult to remove the skin in one piece.
The expert in skinning was still Boss Plankton.
Fortunately, Yue Shi didn't need the human skin; he only needed the process of Su Yuanhe’s suffering.
Just as Yue Shi and Ghost were immersed in the joy of skinning and deboning, a series of hurried and messy footsteps quickly approached the punishment room from a distance.
BANG!
The door of the punishment room had already been damaged by Yue Shi, and now it was kicked open brutally.
A team of about fifteen or sixteen people rushed in.
The leader was a hunched-back old man, his face full of deep wrinkles and his triangular eyes cold and sinister.
He held two dark red beads the size of eggs in his hand, constantly fiddling with them.
As soon as he entered, he saw the wretched state of Su Yuanhe.
Since Yue Shi and Ghost’s skinning techniques weren't very good, Su Yuanhe’s skin had been cut off in pieces and thrown all over the floor. He himself had become a bloody mess, barely clinging to life.
When the hunched-back old man saw Su Yuanhe like this, a flash of sorrow passed over his face, followed by him looking up and glaring at Yue Shi, his face as dark as ink.
Toward this Otherworldly Visitor, the old man’s heart was full of resentment and malice.
It was precisely because of the Otherworldly Visitor’s escape and current revenge that the lab had suffered heavy losses, and years of hard work had been destroyed in a single day!
However, the other party’s movements were mysterious and his abilities were bizarre, making it as difficult as reaching the heavens to catch him.
To deal with him this time, the lab had already lost several Rank 4 transcendents who had cost a massive amount of resources to cultivate. It could be said that they were hurt to the core.
He was about to say something, but Yue Shi didn't give him the chance.
Several spatial rifts flashed and intersected within the punishment room!
Squelch! Squelch!
Muffled sounds rang out one after another.
More than half of the people in the team didn't have time to react. They were either directly Banished or torn apart by the spatial rifts, turning into a rain of blood and severed limbs, dying on the spot.
The smell of blood grew even stronger.
Only the hunched-back old man and the three dull-looking transcendents standing close to him survived, after the beads in the old man’s hand flashed.
The old man’s face was extremely ugly. He took a deep breath, suppressed his shock and fury, and tried to make his tone as calm as possible as he slowly said, “Young friend, why don't we stop here?”
Yue Shi looked at him as if he were an idiot.
The old man braced himself and continued, “There is no need for us to fight to the death. A mutual defeat benefits no one.”
Yue Shi let out a cold snort, directly exposing his intention. “A stalling tactic? I don't believe you’re truly here to seek peace.”
“One should be forgiving when possible,” the old man drawled, his tone carrying a hint of a threat.
“If you continue to be relentless, aren't you afraid of facing our retaliation in the future? You’ve killed so many people already; is that not enough to appease the resentment in your heart?”
“Not enough,” Yue Shi responded flatly.
The old man’s eyes flickered. “The forces behind us aren't something you can challenge. Even if you destroy this lab, you must know that this is merely one of our many labs. Once you completely anger the forces behind us and we come out in full force, you will only have a path to death.”
“I admit that the lab once did some unfriendly things to you. I can understand your desire to seek justice now.
“To show my sincerity, you can ask for whatever compensation you want. I will satisfy all your requests within the scope of my authority.”
“All my requests?” Yue Shi repeated the words, appearing to be thinking, but in reality, he was full of killing intent.
“Then please, all of you, go and die!”
Before his voice even fell, Yue Shi had already teleported behind the hunched-back old man, his claws aiming straight for the back of his heart.
However, the old man seemed to have been prepared. He neither turned around nor dodged.
Pfft!
The claws pierced through the old man’s back, emerging from his chest.
But then, a miraculous scene occurred.
One of the dark red beads in the old man’s hand flashed, and that fatal piercing wound instantly vanished without a trace!
Even his damaged clothes returned to their original state!
The old man slowly turned around. “Young friend, it seems you are determined not to reconcile.”
Yue Shi ignored his nonsense.
Communicating with this kind of person was a complete waste of time.
Perhaps the old man was deliberately stalling for time.
“Have you really thought it through? You want to fight us to the bitter end!” The old man’s threat was undisguised.
Yue Shi was too lazy to respond. He moved his fingers, preparing to launch another attack.
The three dull-looking transcendents beside the old man also locked their gazes on Yue Shi, ready for battle.
Just at this tense moment...
BOOM!!!
A violent explosion sound came from the side!
The alloy wall on one side of the punishment room instantly turned red and softened, and then a massive hole was blown through it by a wild force!
Orange-red, bright flames, carrying the momentum to destroy everything, surged toward the hunched-back old man and his group inside the room.
It was the other intruder—the little fire man had also fought his way here!
The old man let out a cold snort. Faced with this area-of-effect attack, he was not flustered.
The other dark red bead in his hand began to flash.
The roaring flames, as they approached the old man’s vicinity, seemed to hit an invisible wall and could not advance an inch further. Even the heat could not penetrate.
The unfortunate Su Yuanhe, who had been skinned halfway and was already in a state between life and death, was not saved by the old man. He was left to be roasted in the flames, eventually turning into a piece of charcoal.
The old man and his three guards stood in a safe zone where the fire could not reach, completely unharmed.
“Lowly thing, hiding your head and showing your tail, you dare...” The old man was about to mock them.
BOOM!!!
Another loud explosion came from above.
A section of the ceiling was blown open, and a large amount of concrete blocks, metal components, and pipes poured down, crashing toward the hunched-back old man below.
This was clearly also the work of the little fire man.
The old man’s expression changed slightly, and the beads in his hand flashed at a high frequency, barely managing to deflect the falling building debris.
However, the huge impact force and the large number of miscellaneous items still buried the group of them under a pile of rubble.
Immediately after, a stream of even higher-temperature orange-red fire flowed down from the opening in the ceiling, pouring directly into the pile of debris.
The other intruder, the little fire man composed purely of flames, likely had a goal similar to Yue Shi’s: to destroy Lab 0 and eliminate these high-level officials.
However, the other party didn't seem to care about the life or death of Yue Shi and Ghost when he attacked.
The fire man and Yue Shi had the same goal, but that didn't mean the two sides were on friendly terms.
The situation within the punishment room had the potential to evolve into a three-way brawl.
