Unconventional security

"Haha..."

The masked man was about to mock her when Ye Zhixue grabbed a fruit knife and stabbed him to death.

Ye Zhixue walked to the window and looked down, but the thin clouds had already obstructed her view.

She could barely even see Chen Bei's figure, so how could he dare to jump down to find that chip?

"madman."

......

The wind howled and slashed against my cheeks like a knife.

Chen Bei simply used the natural slope angle to slide down, and the building was not completely vertical but slightly tilted.

As we all know, 90 degrees is a wall, and 89 degrees is a slope.

"Indeed, art imitates life."

As the slope gained momentum, his gliding speed gradually increased. He stretched his legs straight against the wall and lightly touched the curtain wall with his toes to control his direction and avoid losing control and rolling over.

He hadn't been out of the chip for long, but with his three gene locks, he could still vaguely see a silver dot, confirming its approximate location.

Unfortunately, the altitude of the 57th floor was too high, the airflow was intense, and the chip was too light, so it drifted too fast.

After passing through a layer of clouds, the target was completely lost.

"Oh no!"

Chen Bei was shocked; the situation was worse than he had imagined.

I thought that with my superhuman eyesight and physical abilities, even on the 57th floor, I could find the chip by being careful to deflect the force.

But the 57th floor is too high up. These thin clouds are not fatal, and can only delay his vision for about half a second, but that half second could very likely make him lose sight of his target.

That's the situation right now.

Their brains raced. Without this chip, their operation would be a complete waste, and they might even be targeted for investigation because of those masked men.

The chip was designed by Miao Yun. If the other party can design one, they can naturally design a second one.

But now Miao Yun has been moved, and the other side knows that the information has been leaked. They don't know when they will be able to find Miao Yun's hiding place again, not to mention whether Chen Bei will still be in District 9 by then. They are only staying here for 3 days.

It's already the second day.

Under intense mental pressure, the strange feeling I had when I first broke through the genetic lock back then, which I experienced at Cao Chengxiu's house, returned.

The surrounding space flow slowed down, and five seconds later, the chip appeared dozens of meters to Chen Bei's left front.

Without further hesitation, he immediately tensed his waist and abdomen, pressed his legs against the sloping curtain wall like steel bars, and lightly tapped his toes on the photovoltaic glass curtain wall three times in succession.

Using the momentum, Chen Bei shifted sideways, his body suddenly tilting to the side, cutting a trajectory with the force of his descent. To outsiders, it looked as if he were flying close to the wall.

As soon as he arrived at the designated location, a silver dot of light was swept up by the airflow and flew towards him. He reached forward and grabbed it, firmly holding a chip in his hand.

"The soul and spirit are connected; I never imagined it could have this effect."

The sudden breakthrough in mental strength is nothing new; Chen Bei had heard about it long before the great catastrophe.

For example, when a person is facing a problem, they are under great mental tension, and then at a certain moment they suddenly think of a solution.

For example, solving math problems in an exam room, or devising a plan under pressure.

However, Chen Bei did not believe that he could predict the trajectory of an object using only his mental power, especially since he had already lost information about the target. Even if he could deduce it using his mental power, it was beyond his level.

Chen Bei gripped the chip tightly, found the right angle, and easily descended the stairs.

Mental calculation of movement trajectories is indeed possible, as documented in Dr. Zhou's notes, but preliminary estimates suggest it requires unlocking six gene locks.

After landing safely, Chen Bei didn't rush to leave. He went back into the building, where the elevator was still on the 28th floor.

"Going downstairs without taking the elevator or stairs is really fast."

Ding!

The elevator doors opened, and Ye Zhixue's leg, which was about to take a step forward, suddenly stopped.

The look in his eyes as he looked at Chen Bei was one of astonishment.

How could someone survive jumping from the 57th floor?!

Ding!

Ye Zhixue silently reached out and clicked the close button.

Reopen it after five seconds.

Chen Bei was still standing outside the door, smiling and waving at her.

"Do demons and monsters really exist in this world?!"

Ye Zhixue was horrified. She took a deep breath and pretended not to see Chen Bei as she continued walking forward.

Chen Bei was completely bewildered. What's wrong with this kid? Why doesn't he say anything when he sees me?

I just jumped from the 57th floor, how come I don't have any reaction at all?!

"Ye Zhixue, where are you going? I've got the chip."

Ye Zhixue ignored her and didn't even turn her head.

Chen Bei ran to her side, waved in front of her, and said, "Why aren't you talking to me? Are you being controlled?"

Ye Zhixue ignored him and even quickened her pace, silently chanting in her heart.

"Don't bother me, don't bother me! I tried to pull you away but couldn't. I didn't throw away the chip; I've already avenged you, bro!"

"They say ghosts are afraid of garlic or something, but there's no garlic around here!"

Ye Zhixue's heart rate soared, and she almost had to jog.

She dared not run away rashly; what if Chen Bei, that ghost, suddenly attacked?

Seeing her keep running, Chen Bei couldn't hold back any longer and blocked her way. "Why are you running? Am I that scary?"

Before he could finish speaking, Ye Zhixue suddenly knelt down in front of him, pleading, "Brother Gui, please stop bothering me!"

"I really couldn't hold you back then! I avenged you, though. I killed that masked man right away, and I not only killed him, but I took care of everyone who was breathing!"

"Even if you're seeking revenge, you can't come after me!"

"I promise, I'll find the people behind these guys and kill them to avenge you, okay?"

Chen Bei found her panicked and frightened appearance somewhat amusing. Did she think he was a vengeful ghost?

Is metaphysics truly the end of science?

Indeed, although humans have awakened their genetic lock and technology has developed rapidly, the matter of ghosts and monsters remains an unsolved mystery.

Whether it's the mutated creatures in restricted areas, these technologies, or viral changes, they can all be explained by scientific knowledge, including the human genetic code.

The only thing that remains unsolved is the matter of these supernatural beings; otherwise, something like IRC-IV injections wouldn't exist.

"Burn that long knife you bought for me, or you're not going home today!"

Chen Bei spoke in a sinister tone, indicating that he did not believe in such things. He believed that the truth about ghosts could be revealed simply by deciphering the secrets of the soul, and it was only a matter of time.

"I..." Ye Zhixue was about to speak when she suddenly realized, "Wait, you, you're not dead?"

With Chen Bei's vast wealth, how could he possibly want my longsword? Even as the director, he must have embezzled countless amounts.

The two of them bought knives yesterday, but since it was inconvenient to bring them to see Cao Chengxiu, they left them at the hotel. The mission was urgent, and they didn't have time to retrieve them.

Only now, when the matter was brought up, did Ye Zhixue belatedly realize what had happened.

"Hmm, it's just the 57th floor. You won't die on the 570th floor either."

Chen Bei remained unfazed. Hundreds of years ago, Master Long had already taught them. "Let's go back and find Cao Chengxiu."

......

Back in the antique-style room.

Cao Chengxiu examined the virus chip in Chen Bei's hand and frowned, saying, "This chip is fake."
