Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Du Yue did not know what the man was thinking, and she did not care. She closed the door and calmly met the man’s gaze. “Let’s go.”
The man stared at her without blinking. “I advise you to be honest and don’t think about escaping. The surveillance equipment in the underground security base is spread all over the place. There are no blind spots. Even if you’re lucky enough to escape, you won’t have anywhere to hide. You can’t be sure that you won’t suffer if you’re caught.”
Du Yue was stunned at first, but then she quickly smiled. “1 never planned on escaping. You’re thinking too much.”
Of course, she had to meet Chief Mu and see why he was looking for her. Why did he need to mobilize this man?
The man stared at Du Yue for a moment, his expression unclear. In the end, he turned around and strode toward the stairs. It had been more than two months since Du Yue moved here. She had only moved around on the floor they lived on and the floor above. As for the floors below, let alone going there, she had not even looked at the place.
Now that the man was leading her down the stairs, Du Yue was a little curious and kept observing each floor from the corner of her eye. From the outside, the floors below were no different from the floor they lived on. It was not until the man brought her to the last floor that Du Yue realized that there was a different world here.
There was a special door on the last floor and a guard at the door. After entering the door, they continued to walk down 60 to 70 steps before finally arriving at their destination.
Du Yue stood there, feeling a little strange. If this staircase was a little longer, would it lead directly to the 18th floor underground? Just as Du Yue was thinking about it, she saw the man walk to the left. After taking two steps, he turned around and realized that Du Yue was not following him. He urged impatiently, “Hurry up and keep up. Don’t look around!”
In the eyes of men, this woman had been very cooperative. Why did she suddenly stop moving when they were about to reach the place?
Du Yue responded and followed.
The passage was so long that one could not see the end. All the lights at the top were turned on, and the light emitted was so bright that it was a little dazzling. Du Yue looked at the passage in front of her that was as bright as day. There was only one thought in her mind—’How extravagant!’
On the floors she passed by before, there were only a few lights that were more than ten meters apart from each other, and the light that was emitted was very dim. Du Yue could only see such a brightly lit scene when she occasionally went to the first-floor assemblies. She was still a little unused to this unexpected scene.
The man brought her to the end of the road and stood at the gate. He reached out and gently knocked on the gate twice. “Chief Mu, Du Yue has arrived.” There was no response from inside the gate. Just when Du Yue thought that there was no one inside, she heard a man’s voice coming from inside. “Let her in.”
The man turned around and looked at Du Yue. “Go in. Chief Mu is waiting for you inside.”
Du Yue nodded, her expression unchanging. She pushed the door open and walked into the room, only to find that everything she saw was silver.
Looking at the room, Du Yue frowned. She could not be blamed for being sensitive to silver. It was because one would only see this color in places that involved the galaxy. Just as Du Yue was thinking about it, the man in the room spoke again, “You’re already here. It’s too late for regrets.”
“There’s nothing to regret.” Du Yue raised her eyebrows slightly. After saying that, Du Yue continued to walk in.
As she went deeper into the room, she saw even more things that she did not recognize. All kinds of unknown equipment were operating at high speed. She did not know what these things were for. Du Yue was puzzled when she saw a silver chair in front of her swivel around. The man sitting on it narrowed his eyes, and his gaze became inquisitive. The moment he turned around, Du Yue also saw his silver shoulder-length hair. His long silver hair was slightly curly, and it was reflected in his blood-red eyes, making him look gloomy and charming.
The man’s lips slowly curled up. “I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Mu Chen, and I’m the chief officer of the entire underground base.”
Du Yue looked at him quietly, waiting for him to continue. Mu Chen placed his elbow on the armrest of the chair, his slender fingers supporting his chin. “You don’t have to be nervous. I have no intention of hurting you. I’m just curious. I’m curious to find out what’s so special about you that people like He Xing and Xia Ju are willing to stay by your side.”
As Mu Chen spoke, he sized Du Yue up. “You have good looks, but 1 can’t see anything special about you. So, 1 can only trouble you to answer for me.. What method did you use to make He Xing and Xia Ju follow you willingly?”
