Chapter 952 950 Prism (23)

Chapter 952: Chapter 950: Prism (23) Chapter 952: Chapter 950: Prism (23) “Where did this come from…”

It was obvious that, given Fu Qian’s previous performance, Red Dragon had taken unprecedented notice of him, but the pass card Fu Qian had thrown out still made him doubt his life choices.

In fact, it wasn’t just him—the two ladies felt the same.

The main issue was that this pass card was almost like a wishing tree in its effectiveness, which seemed a bit overly exaggerated.

Everyone was battle-hardened and knew that something abnormal surely meant a trick. Everything from the information to the props was so smooth that it was hard not to suspect it was intentionally leading them on.

“Body collecting.”

Facing the three stupefied individuals, Fu Qian could completely understand their doubts and knew there was no need for explanations.

His acquaintanceship with these people lasted less than a day; trying to dispel doubts through mere verbal communication was like the plot of a children’s cartoon.

So he gave a perfunctorily evasive answer and said no more.

Isn’t it because you’re not giving enough effort? Otherwise, why would someone as indifferent to fame as me bother making such a flashy move?

The strangeness of human nature lies in the feeling of justification when treated harshly by harsh people.

Faced with Fu Qian’s response, the three of them recalled his earlier performance in the team. Once they connected the dots, their desire for a clear explanation lessened significantly.

“Masked Man might already be waiting below.”

Quickly, Red Dragon gritted his teeth, gripping the card and stepping forward.

And indeed, the way the elevator started so smoothly after Oliver’s access card was swiped was unnervingly smooth.

And without waiting for the others to say more, Fu Qian was the first to walk in.

As for whether this action complicated the emotions of the three again, he didn’t care.

…

The elevator descended smoothly and at length, highlighting the impressive scale of the underground facility.

As professionals, although the atmosphere was somewhat oppressive, Red Dragon and the ladies instinctively readied themselves for any potential danger, especially when the elevator finally came to a stop.

“Three?”

In the next moment, their alertness skyrocketed because, although the elevator had stopped, the doors did not open.

At the same time, a hoarse yet familiar voice came from outside.

Three?

Realizing there was someone outside, the group’s first reaction was to quickly move aside, but then Lady Qing quickly understood something and shouted loudly.

“Red Dragon.”

But before she finished speaking, the elevator doors opened.

“You guys got here pretty fast!”

A familiar figure emerged from the corner, talking while stowing away an elegantly designed gun—it was the long-missed team leader, Masked Man.

And it was clear that he was quite pleased with the turn of events.

“The three earlier… was that about the order of joining the team?”

At that moment, Red Dragon, having relaxed somewhat, finally grasped the meaning of the number.

“Yes.”

Masked Man confirmed his guess.

“I wasn’t sure if any dangerous individuals would come down after I activated the elevator, so I used that as a code.”

“But the problem is, there are hardly a few in the team who could answer that question. What if they couldn’t answer correctly, would you really shoot?”

Following them down from the elevator, Lady Star, while relieving her tension, seemed somewhat disturbed by the recent peril.

“Don’t be so rigid; the correct answer isn’t the point, the point is that you respond.”

Red Dragon glanced at her.

“As long as Masked Man hears our voices, it’ll be fine.”

“Not necessarily.”

Unexpectedly, Masked Man smiled and shook his head to this statement.

“If you answered wrong, I might indeed shoot. After all, who knows if you’ve lost your sanity due to severe contamination?”

…

“We should hurry up, this place seems huge.”

Red Dragon, rendered speechless by Masked Man, but Lady Qing, the person who had answered the question earlier, was urging directly with an expressionless face.

And this wasn’t empty talk; the elevator had only delivered them to one corner of the underground facility.

At that moment, looking ahead, they could see the complex structure of the paths extending in all directions.

“You’re right, we have a significant amount of work ahead of us, fortunately, we have more hands than I expected.”

“Based on the information I’ve gathered from my experiences before, there are a total of five areas underground, now we can consider starting from which area—”

“The lowest level in Area Three.”

Qing interrupted Masked Man without hesitation.

“From the information we have, it seems that something like the source of the contamination is stored there.”

Faced with Masked Man’s surprised look, she quickly explained.

“How about you lead the way, and we talk as we walk?”

…

Although she usually didn’t talk much, Qing showed her trustworthiness and ability to control the situation at critical moments.

Faced with her request, Masked Man thought briefly before agreeing.

“Isn’t Guansi with you?”

At this time, Lady Star, the team enthusiast, couldn’t wait to inquire about the last person’s whereabouts.

“Didn’t see him at all, but since there are many people below, we can’t rule out that he might be here too.”

Masked Man, walking ahead with caution, responded while also not forgetting to satisfy his curiosity.

“By the way, how did you get that location information?”

“It wasn’t me; it was Guansi.”

Qing was not intent on taking credit for someone else’s work.

“Oh?”

Masked Man turned around in surprise, assessing Fu Qian, who had kept a low profile.

“Yes, I was warmly received by a certain Michelle.”

Fu Qian nodded.

“Michelle… light blonde hair? Middle-aged?”

This time, Masked Man looked genuinely shocked.

“You know her?”

Unexpectedly encountering this development, Red Dragon who had also met Michelle couldn’t help but rush to answer.

“She was the boss of the role I played just now.”

Masked Man answered naturally.

“Although we haven’t had the chance to talk face-to-face yet, she doesn’t seem very amenable, somewhat obstinate and stubborn.”

“How could that be, her mind seemed quite open!”

However, Fu Qian seemed to disagree, which made Masked Man turn around again, only to see Fu Qian mimicking shooting himself in the head with a gun.

Ha ha…

Instantly understanding, Masked Man showed a common workplace reaction to unfortunate superior experiences, laughing heartily.

…

It was evident that Masked Man wasn’t boasting about his recent credentials.

He had clearly studied the structure of the underground facility extensively and almost without delay, found the way.

After repeating passes through routes, the group of five eventually reached a significantly deep location.

And as the elevator doors opened again, Masked Man observed briefly before confirming to everyone that they had reached their destination.

“This is the place you mentioned, but the area is still quite large, we better hurry—”

Before he could finish, a series of gunshots suddenly rang out from some direction.
