Chapter 356: Chapter 343 Progress

Two guards hadn’t even figured out what was happening when they were responsibly killed off, and about two seconds had passed. Bai Xiong looked down, inserted his finger into the bullet holes in his body, fished around, and flicked out a few bullets, casually tossing them onto the ground, while the wounds quickly healed as if nothing had happened.

"I need equipment..." Bai Xiong said indifferently.

No sooner had he finished than Reina shouted, "Lin Fan, look for it."

Upon hearing this, Lin Fan rolled his eyes unwillingly, then closed them... "Equipment? It’s all in the manager’s office." He quickly opened his eyes and spoke.

"Perfect, let’s move quickly!" As Reina spoke, she stepped over the body in front of her and headed towards the corner at the end. Naturally, the rest followed swiftly.

At the end of the corridor were several doors that looked identical. Lin Fan walked over to one and stood beside it. The Drunkard and the Locksmith immediately caught on and used their well-practiced method of opening doors to work on it, opening the door in no time.

Inside... was Jimmy’s office. There was a desk, a large screen, several filing cabinets, and a water cooler. At this moment, the guy was sitting calmly behind the desk, watching the group march in.

And standing next to him... was Song Xuan.

Upon seeing this scene, Chen Xiao couldn’t help but laugh: "Hehehe, so you were sent to keep an eye on me, huh... In a way, you did quite well, you even caught evidence of my contact with The Splitters... But it seems like your luck isn’t so good."

He spoke mockingly, but... it seemed no one intended to pick up his banter.

"1... 2... 3..." Jimmy’s gaze swept over the people in his office, counting each one, "7... 8... Heh, all here, huh?" As he spoke, he even had a smile on his face. "Well then, you can all stay and serve as the stepping stones to my glory."

As he spoke, his hand under the desk seemed to press something, and a hiss came from behind Chen Xiao and his group.

Chen Xiao immediately looked back, but saw nothing.

"What’s that?" he muttered in confusion, but suddenly, he felt something was amiss. He reached out to swipe in front of him. "What the fuck??" Chen Xiao exclaimed in surprise, as his hand encountered an invisible wall.

"Heh... although I’m just a modest regional manager, did you think my office would be that easy to barge into?" Jimmy said mockingly, "What you see before you is the Non-Euclidean Union’s newly developed encasement wall, durable enough to withstand a direct hit from an intercontinental missile. Originally intended for use with items that need regular observation, the leftover materials with nowhere else to go were requisitioned for my interrogation room... This is all prepared for situations like this one."

While he was speaking, Chen Xiao had already felt around the perimeter of this transparent wall.

"Don’t waste your energy. From the moment you stepped into this office, you were doomed to fail at my hands. In fact, I could now simply suck out the air and enjoy watching you all die gruesomely... but... it seems like the signals here are blocked by something... No matter, signals can’t be blocked forever; I have all the time in the world to wait you out," Jimmy kept babbling.

Chen Xiao stood with his hands in his pockets, looking nonchalant, as if anticipating something... After a while, nothing happened.

"Hm... you can open this thing, right?" he asked Reina in a very low voice.

"Of course it can’t open, this thing is directly controlled by a transmitted signal, and like I said, I have no way with this kind of signal."

"Uh..." Chen Xiao’s expression seemed to loosen somewhat, "Then brother, please don’t drink anymore for now. Can you drill this thing open as well?"

The drunk belched: "Huh? How could I? Everyone says that not even an intercontinental missile could bust it, do I look like I’m more powerful than an intercontinental missile?"

"Mmm..." Chen Xiao pondered, "Alright then, it looks like it’s your turn..." He shrugged at the postman.

However, the postman replied in a clear and measured voice, "I’m incapable..."

"What??" Chen Xiao became visibly flustered, "What do you mean? You just need to flash out, knock out that person in charge, that’s all. And by the way, help me take out that woman too; she was sent by some high-up old geezer to spy on me, always looking at me unfavorably!"

"There’s a vacuum..." the postman said coolly.

"...Uh..." Chen Xiao’s eyes glazed over, "No way..."

"Yes, haven’t you noticed that the voice of the person in charge is coming from above? It’s because there’s a vacuum layer inside this wall, and I can’t pass through a vacuum..."

"..." Chen Xiao stood with his mouth slightly open, "Hey, hey... what’s this all about? Are we really trapped here? We made quite the grand entrance, yet it feels like we’ve been wiped out by the first mini-boss."

Chen Xiao had a look that clearly said, "Are you all useless?"

"Hahaha—how laughable, just with you guys trying to storm the Foundation? Naive!" Since Chen Xiao half-shouted these last few words, Jimmy heard them too, which was followed by him setting a typical flag, looking like he was calculating behind the scenes, smug with his successful scheme.

And it was at that moment... Lin Fan, who had his eyes closed ever since he entered, finally opened them.

"Alright, found it. This person needs to stay alive," he said out of the blue.

...

In the next instant, Song Xuan seemed to disappear from her spot; without any special movement, she appeared right in front of Jimmy. With a blank expression, she straightened the four fingers of her right hand and, with a "pfft" sound, thrust them into Jimmy’s mouth... It was an extremely fast and eerie scene; her fingertips easily forced apart the other’s teeth, broke into the oral cavity, and then with a grip, her fingers emerged from the soft flesh of the underside of the jaw. Before Jimmy could even feel the pain, his entire lower jaw was violently torn off by Song Xuan, along with the muscles on his cheeks. Blood, following the motion of the tear, splashed onto the transparent wall, leaving behind a large, crimson stain.

Chen Xiao was stunned, as probably was Jimmy...

After nearly a second, "Eh... eh eh eh eh eh eh eh eh!!!" Jimmy finally reacted, and then emitted an incredibly pitiful scream, but since his tongue no longer had the support of his jaw, it just hung down helplessly around his neck. The voice dissipated uselessly into the air after passing through the vocal cords, producing a bizarre shriek.

"Some people in the Foundation hide deadly poison at the base of their teeth, intended for suicide during special circumstances. Since he needs to stay alive, we had to be careful," explained Song Xuan, turning her lean body around, speaking indifferently while still holding the bloodied lower jaw. The sound of blood droplets falling echoed, "Drip, drop, drip, drop," her expression calm.
