A vicious female is trapped in a beastly hell.

Chapter 483 Suicide
"Why must Your Majesty force me like this?" Wayne sighed softly, then suddenly pulled a silver pistol from his pocket.

Shen Tang and the beastmen's expressions changed instantly.

Lu Xiao immediately stepped in front of her, and Xue Yinzhou was also ready to attack, but unexpectedly, the next second—

"boom!"

A gunshot rang out! Wayne turned the gun on his own temple, and the bullet instantly pierced his skull, spraying blood everywhere!
"what!"

"Help! Someone's dead!"

This sudden turn of events stunned everyone. The institute's staff witnessed their director collapse and die, and screams erupted; some even fainted on the spot.

Shen Tang snapped out of her shock and rushed forward to try and use her healing abilities, only to find that Wayne's body had begun to decay rapidly, turning into a pool of blood and bones, emitting a pungent, corrosive odor...

"Watch out! Don't get close!" Jia Lan hurriedly pulled Shen Tang behind her, while raising her hand to build a water wall to block the poisonous gas and quickly clean up the scene.

He stared at the horrific scene before him, his handsome brows furrowing as he murmured, "To commit suicide outright, that's too extreme, too insane."

I thought Wayne would pretend to be stupid and argue or resist, but I never expected that he would commit suicide.

Now that the dead have no way to prove anything, all clues have been cut off.

Shen Tang's face was also very ugly; this was simply too crazy!
She suddenly remembered something and pulled over the trembling researcher next to her. This was Wayne's assistant, who was usually responsible for organizing the core data.

She pressed anxiously, "Where are the research materials I gave him a few days ago?"

The assistant turned pale with fright. "W-what documents? I've never seen them before!"

Shen Tang's heart sank suddenly.

It seems that Wayne never intended to study those materials and probably destroyed them long ago. Fortunately, she had the system back them up in advance.

Even with a backup, without the ability to analyze it, she still couldn't uncover the true secrets of the experimental base.

The system urgently stated, "Host, Wayne is definitely connected to the experimental base; otherwise, he wouldn't have resorted to such extreme measures as suicide."

[He's been running the Zero Point Research Institute for so many years, he must have left a lot of information in the database. The host has given me access to the mainframe; maybe I can crack these research reports!]

"how long it takes?"

[It will take at least three hours, requiring a computer to connect to the lab's mainframe.]

"it is good."

Shen Tang immediately followed the system instructions.

However, three hours later, the situation was far worse than expected.

The system cursed for the first time in anger: "Damn it! That cunning bastard... he actually tampered with the database beforehand!"

Shen Tang received the message from the system, and her expression instantly darkened—

"Your Majesty, Zhan Xin'an, I guessed you would find this letter."

Please forgive my abrupt departure. I cannot provide the answer you seek, but I understand what you need.

"Before leaving, I prepared a gift for His Majesty, which is hidden in a safe in the secret room on the left side of the entrance to the top-floor laboratory."

The password is: miracle012.

When Lu Xiao, Jia Lan, and Xue Yinzhou saw the "letter," their expressions all turned serious.

There's a saying that "a dying man's words are good," but it seems particularly strange when applied to Wayne.

He seemed to have foreseen his death long ago—or rather, he had prepared for his crimes to be exposed.

If he were truly a spy, why would he leave clues? Was there a trap hidden in the safe? But if he really wanted to harm someone, it seems unnecessary to go to such lengths to set up these things.

This is more like... a death game meticulously designed by some eccentric mad scientist.

“My lady, this man is too cunning. I don’t know what he’s up to.” Lu Xiao stopped Shen Tang. “You stay here and don’t move. Let me go and take a look.”

"Okay, be careful."

"Ah."

Lu Xiao arrived at the top-floor laboratory and, as expected, found a hidden secret room on the left wall.

The cramped space was filled with sophisticated instruments, with only an old combination safe in the corner.

After entering the password, the locker door clicked open.

No bombs, no traps.

There was only one bottle of potion with a faint green luster.

There was a note underneath:
"Your Majesty, this potion can save your partner's life, but unfortunately it's only a semi-finished product..."

"The most crucial ingredient is missing—vampire essence."

"That's really a great thing. It can enhance cell regeneration and make people stronger. It's a pity that it's gone once it's used up."

"Your Majesty, you have only twelve hours left. Please obtain the essence blood of the vampires and create the complete potion within the allotted time. Otherwise, your beastman husband will turn into the monster you encountered at the experimental base... and you will only face death."

As Shen Tang looked at each sentence on it, she seemed to be able to see the young man's calm and collected demeanor. He still had that gentle appearance, but he was hiding an unpredictable madness.

She clenched her fists tightly, her fingertips trembling slightly, causing the paper to wrinkle.

What is Wayne's true identity? How does he know all this?
Shen Tang had no idea that the most important thing at this stage was to save Xiao Jin!
If what Wayne said is true, there is at least a glimmer of hope; if he is lying... she should at least try!
"System, do you think Wayne is a trustworthy person?"

[Host, there's a saying among humans: the line between genius and madness is thin. If Wayne intended to deceive, why go to such lengths? What is his purpose?]

"Just a prank?"

[This possibility cannot be ruled out, but the host has no other choice at the moment.]

"……"really.

Shen Tang fell into deep thought.

In Shen Li's mental illusion, she learned from the High Priest that the vampire race had long been extinct, and that the only pure-blooded vampire remaining in the world was probably—

Rebel leader, Necro!
To obtain the essence blood of a vampire, one must start with his physical body.

Xue Yinzhou and Lu Xiao might be able to fight Necro, but this man is extremely cautious and rarely reveals his true form. Success is only possible when he is most relaxed—like last time in the bathhouse.

Are you suggesting she resort to the same old tricks?

But this means that Shen Tang has to break into the rebel army's headquarters again. That guy is probably already on guard. Moreover, Necro's true strength is unfathomable. How can she guarantee that she won't lose her life because of this?

The system reminds you: [Host, don't forget the system reward item! It allows you to retrieve items remotely. You don't need to physically touch the target; as long as you're within ten meters, you can obtain their essence blood!]

Shen Tang's eyes lit up. This was indeed a feasible method. Although there was still a great risk, at least the chances of success had been greatly increased.

But how do I find his true form?

Her trip to the rebel headquarters last time was also a lucky accident.

According to Futeng and the orcs of the rebel army, Necro rarely stays at the rebel headquarters. Time is of the essence, and even with the help of tools, she may not be able to find him.

[The host has received the original body's blood; I can track the original body's location.] The system proactively suggested, [Shall we teleport there now?]
