Kamen Rider ZZZ, the American comic book spiritual mentor

The person who was struggling replied: "It's not painful, I don't feel anything, it's cool and comfortable, I feel like my brain is growing."

Lin Nan touched his chin. Could it be that invading the mental world and reading memories in a dream is painless and even comfortable as long as you don't resist?

He shook his head, putting the unease out of his mind, and said, "What I just did was read your loyalty to me. The result was good. I didn't misjudge you. My messenger will probably come to you soon. You just need to wait and cooperate."

Chapter 68 Infiltration

Lin Nan finally raised his hand and shouted, "Long live Hydra!"

She then waved the man away and exited the lucid dream.

Sitting up in reality, Lin Nan saw that the man was still sleeping like a baby. She ignored him and mentally organized the information she had gathered.

From the memories retrieved, it can be seen that the main body of the base, in addition to the entrance on the first floor, has three more floors below.

The first basement level houses the guards' living quarters and armory, the second basement level is the laboratory, and the third basement level is where high-value experimental subjects are held. Access to the third basement level requires advanced privileges; this man's card only grants technician-level access and he cannot enter alone.

Moreover, the main entrance to the underground area requires passing through the central hall on the first floor, which is heavily guarded and cannot be forcibly entered at this time.

There is only a lift on the side for emergency repairs and waste disposal, which can be accessed from the side building to reach the edge of the underground area.

There are relatively few guards there, but one thing is certain: you need a specific access card and password.

Lin Nan's magnetic card didn't have enough access level; he needed a higher level of access or to obtain the password for the maintenance channel to enter.

He remembered the two people in white coats. From the man's memories, he knew that these two people held very high positions in this base and should have sufficient authority.

It seems that after all this time, we still need the two of them to help out.

He buried the man again with miscellaneous items and left only after making sure he wouldn't wake up anytime soon.

Lin Nan lightly leaped onto the roof and moved silently toward the room with the two doctors in white coats, covering his entire body with harmonized energy to minimize the possibility of being detected by electronic instruments.

Upon reaching the door, one could hear soft snoring coming from inside.

Lin Nan landed gently on the ground, grasped the doorknob, and tried to turn it slightly, but the door didn't open.

He pulled two electromagnetic pulse generators from his pocket, made by Little Spider, each only the size of a fingernail.

When you stick it to the door lock and press it lightly, the entire electronic and alarm systems of the lock instantly become disabled. The red impact energy, like a cone, penetrates and damages the internal structure.

Then, he gently turned the doorknob and the door opened.

Lin Nan slipped inside and gently closed the door. Two people were sleeping in the room, with white coats and magnetic cards scattered on the sofa.

He put the magnetic card in his pocket and used the Dream Concoction Capsule to put the two of them to sleep, so that they wouldn't wake up all night if he didn't disturb them.

After doing all that, I pressed my ear against the door and listened outside. There was no sound, so I opened the door with peace of mind and retreated to the main building of the base along the way I came.

Pressing the driver button on the chest activates the wing-shaped armor that covers the entire body.

The armor's lights were switched off by his consciousness, leaving the entire armor like a ghost in the darkness, devoid of any light.

The plasma wings on its back unfolded, its body glided along the ground for a while, then suddenly rose high, and in a few flashes it reached the roof of the factory building on the side.

From the rooftop, one can clearly see the entire base layout, as well as the guards' patrol routes and blind spots.

After observing for a few minutes, just as the side gate guards turned around, Lin Nan seized the opportunity, leaped off the roof, and passed between the two guards like a feather.

It then glided along the ground and landed silently behind a pile of oil drums without making a sound.

It's only 20 meters away from the side door of the maintenance passage.

There was only an open space in between, brightly lit by searchlights, with no obstructions.

The searchlights swayed constantly, and the guards moved and patrolled continuously, patiently waiting for a gap to appear between them.

After waiting for a while, he realized that the two men at the door were definitely top-notch. They were extremely dedicated, barely blinking, and even if the searchlight shone elsewhere, anyone who wanted to get in had to pass by them.

Lin Nan looked at the searchlight and took out a button-sized pulse generator from his pocket. This was the lowest pulse energy setting, capable of only flashing a few times.

However, it's good enough if it can attract attention; if it's completely dark, it might provoke an even bigger backlash.

Lin Nan bent his middle finger and flicked it hard, and the entire pulse generator was accurately attached to the searchlight. Two or three seconds later, the searchlight began to flash.

"What's wrong? Is the searchlight broken?" asked one of the guards at the door.

"Let's go check it out and see if anything's wrong."

The two guards moved away slightly, and Lin Nan's figure slid out along the wall at lightning speed, crossing kilometers in the blink of an eye and arriving at the maintenance gate.

He quickly pulled out his access card from his pocket and swiped it across the door lock.

As the green light flickered on, Lin Nan gently opened the door and slipped inside.

Inside the small repair door, the light was dim, with only a few green emergency lights illuminating the area, and the passageway was lined with thick pipes and cables on both sides.

The floor was covered with non-slip steel plates, and Lin Nan suspended himself in the air to avoid making noise when stepping on them.

At the end of the passage was a heavy, alloy security door with no markings except for a gesture-based touchscreen on the left.

Lin Nan sensed that the source of pain-filled energy was getting closer and closer. He took a deep breath, swiped his card, but the door didn't open.

It seems to be double-protected; you need to swipe your card first and then enter your PIN.

The man in the gray uniform was of such low rank that he didn't know the password.

The red compound eyes on the armor lit up, enhancing Lin Nan's vision, and the traces on the touchscreen were completely captured in his eyes.

He can observe which areas of the screen are more worn than other areas, and thus detect a gesture trajectory.

Lin Nan had a plan in mind. Following the path, she slid her finger, released it, the green light came on, and the door opened.

"Phew... Even as a villain, I'm so careless, not changing my password for so long."

Lin Nan opened the door and went inside. After wandering around for a long time, he bypassed the surveillance cameras and crawled on the roof for a while. Suddenly, a bright white corridor with perfect lighting appeared in front of him.

The corridor was deserted, and the stark white lights illuminated the entire passageway, leaving almost no blind spots. The roof was covered with surveillance cameras.

The energy source you sense is right ahead; don't hesitate.

Besides, countless desperate mental fluctuations are weeping, behind each of these doors is a pitiful person locked up, without exception.

Lin Nan suppressed his pity, took out the projection dream capsule, gently turned it in his hand, and a blue light flashed, and a phantom suddenly appeared beside him.

Consciousness compels the phantom to merge with one's own body, and a real Hydra white coat appears!

Meanwhile, from a pile of clutter in the nearby building, water droplets dripped continuously from the pipes above, falling onto the man who was being covered.

A few seconds later, the man opened his eyes, pushed away the clutter covering his body, and sat up.

His eyes were bright and piercing, and he kept muttering something. After a long while, he seemed to have made up his mind and stood up to walk towards the bedrooms of the two highest-ranking white-coated officers.

Chapter 69 Wanda

The phantom covered his entire body. Although the power came from the dream capsule and the principle behind it was unknown, it was certain that the phantom created by the projection dream capsule could be controlled to be real or illusory.

It is almost impossible to detect the difference between real and fake using technological means; it can be described as a perfect disguise.

Lin Nan swaggered into the white area, brazenly exposing himself to the cameras and lights.

His steps were steady, without the slightest sign of panic, and his gaze peered inside through the small bulletproof glass window in the door.

One after another, they all emanated a spirit of despair.

Suddenly, Lin Nan saw a girl through the third door on the left and stopped in his tracks.

The room was not very large, and the walls and ceiling were covered with dark materials, presumably to absorb energy and insulate sound. The whole room felt very oppressive, like a cage buried deep underground.

In the center, there was a metal restraint bed cast in one piece with the ground, connected to countless pipes and electrodes.

A girl of about seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing a white lab coat, was thin and had long, dark brown hair that clung to her cheeks.

Her eyes were tightly closed, her brows were furrowed, and her long eyelashes trembled incessantly like butterfly wings. Her slender hands and feet were locked and fixed to the bed by thick alloy shackles.

His exposed arms and ankles were covered in wounds, densely packed with needle marks and scars.

Around her, there was a faint, red, smoky energy that appeared and disappeared repeatedly.

It really was her, the future Scarlet Witch, Wanda Maximoff!

Lin Nan guessed correctly; her abilities were already in the awakening stage. Chaos magic was innate, and Loki's scepter in the movie was just a key to unlocking the door to her abilities—good news.

What about Quicksilver? Has his ability awakened?

Lin Nan suppressed a pang of heartache and looked at the doors on the right.

Diagonally opposite Wanda, Lin Nan saw a boy about her age.

With short silver hair, she appeared to be under forced sedation, bound to a metal bed with restraints.

Even so, his body could be seen trembling at an extremely high frequency, as if he might disappear into a blur at any moment, appearing very unstable.

He didn't have the overflowing energy that Wanda had, but he was equally unstable.

Lin Nan was relieved; so far, everything had gone smoothly.

He looked up and saw a card reader panel at the doorway, and a miniature device above the door frame that continuously emitted an interference field targeting specific brainwaves, possibly suppressing the twins' ability release.

Lin Nan glanced around the corridor again; it was quiet and deserted. He had to rescue the twins before the guards or researchers arrived again.

He walked to Wanda's door, took out his access card, swiped it, and the green light on the panel lit up, but the door did not open immediately.

A cold, electronic voice came from above: "Suppression field detected. Forcing the door open will trigger a zone alarm. Confirm?"

Lin Nan frowned. These two doors were indeed double-secured. If the alarm was triggered, the entire base would be on high alert.

At that time, it would have been virtually impossible to evacuate safely with two people.

Lin Nan thought for a moment: which of all the dream capsules could both avoid triggering the alarm and deceive the past?

When the topic of deception came up, his eyes lit up, and with a thought, he activated the power of the projection dream capsule.

The essence of projection is simulation and reproduction. Could this function be used to deceive the device inside the door?

I've never tried this before; it's my first time. I don't know if it will work.
