Chapter 315: A sound of thunder

Lin Fan felt happy on the first day of vacation.

It's been a long time since I had such a relaxing day.

Thinking that he didn't have to go to Xiaoyao Sect today, Lin Fan wanted to jump up while walking.

First, I went to the Medical Department and had a series of routine physical examinations with Wen Ji. Then I went to see Ban Hai, the head of the Equipment Department.

He missed the post-New Year meeting because he was busy with other research, but now he has some free time.

Although no new data can be measured now, taking a look at the actual status of the stars can be regarded as officially taking over.

Lin Fan carried her snack bag and ate while walking, not wanting to waste time going to the cafeteria.

Anyway, this time the main purpose is to test the standby time of the star, so there is no need to deliberately replenish it to avoid inaccurate measurements.

Ban Hai was older than she thought, probably over 60.

Because most of the people around him were male colleagues of similar age, Lin Fan was a little surprised when an old man suddenly showed up.

If you think about it again, it’s normal. Most of the scientists with technical skills are older.

He was very skinny, and the white coat he wore looked empty. Lin Fan wondered if he had lost weight because he kept forgetting to eat.

His gray hair hung sparsely on his head, his eyes were focused and bright, but he didn't look at anyone.

While greeting him, I saw him doing this and that, busy with several things, and he looked really busy.

The two dared not ask any more questions and just stood by and waited. After about ten minutes, Ban Hai finished his work and led the two out happily.

John Woo was ordered to follow Ban Hai, and Lin Fan just followed John Woo, and the group entered the elevator.

No one spoke in the elevator.

Ban Hai said nothing, and Lin Fan didn't dare to say more to Wu Yusen. He just awkwardly touched a piece of cake and stuffed it into his mouth.

John Woo frowned as he looked at the declining numbers.

As soon as the elevator door opened, Ban Hai walked out first.

Lin Fan saw that Wu Yusen didn't move, and nudged him, "What's wrong? We're here."

John Woo's expression was not very good, but he didn't say much to Lin Fan. He forced a smile and walked out.

Lin Fan was a very sensitive person. He knew something was wrong and followed him to ask, "What's going on?"

Wu Yusen glanced at Ban Hai, who had already walked about ten meters away, and whispered, "Do you remember asking me before about the place where the vicious and uncontrollable superpowers were imprisoned?"

I remember! How could you not remember?

Lin Fan had a nightmare that night. She turned into a nine-headed monster, and John Woo chopped off eight of her heads, which were then hung on the wall.

Why are you saying this suddenly?

Lin Fan glanced at him, then looked at the surrounding forest-like environment, and suddenly reacted.

"Isn't this the place?!" Her eyes widened. "I shouldn't be locked up now, right?"

She is now fully capable of controlling the stars, and she will be going on a new mission tomorrow, so there is no need to bring her here to be locked up today, right?

Theoretically it is impossible.

But Lin Fan was still a little scared, after all, that nightmare had scared her for a long time.

"No." Wu Yusen couldn't help laughing when he saw her anxious look. "Don't worry, I'm sure you won't be imprisoned. We're counting on you to bring honor to our institute, the recipient of the Medal of Valor."

"Huh..." Lin Fan breathed a sigh of relief and rolled his eyes at Wu Yusen. "Then why are you so serious? It's scary."

“…” John Woo didn’t know what to say.

As the most heavily guarded place in the Special Affairs Bureau, it is impossible to come here easily. If you come here, no good will come.

Forget it, let’s see the situation first, what if there is nothing wrong?

"Hey, didn't you say this was a prison? Why can't I see it?" Lin Fan looked at the tall trees. They seemed to be strolling in the woods, which didn't look like a place to imprison people.

In her impression, isn't a prison a big square yard with barbed wire and rooms inside?

It's totally invisible here.

"Hey, hurry up!" Ban Hai turned around and saw the two of them still chatting far behind. He shouted at the top of his voice and continued walking forward.

"Coming!" John Woo responded, pulling Lin Fan along and taking a few quick steps.

"I've never been to this floor before, I just know about it." He said as he walked, "But this place is a bit similar to District 9."

"It's also a realm?" Lin Fan was surprised.

Is the Special Affairs Bureau so lavish, or is it Boss Qian's doing? Even the place where they're being held is so high-tech... Uh, no, high...

Never mind, that's it.

Then could she hope that Mr. Qian would also get her a Lin Fan realm?

"That's not the case. It's the opposite here." Wu Yusen shook his head. "Area 9, the artificial forest is real, and the realms inside are all borrowed from a point above."

"This isn't the place. The trees you see now are all illusions. Only the prison is real."

"...Create so many illusions? What's the purpose? Beautify the environment?" Lin Fan didn't understand, but after thinking about it, he knew that spending time on these things must have a cost, right?

It felt like Lin Fanjing's dream had taken another small step forward.

"Then I don't know. Anyway, they must have their considerations for doing this." John Woo really didn't know about this.

But it's definitely not just for beautification. There must be other purposes, just inhumane ones.

Not long after walking, they came upon a place that looked like a water tower. Ban Hai disappeared hurriedly through the door, as if he had been swallowed.

"Hey," Lin Fan nudged Wu Yusen again, "Why does it feel like a Western magician's tower to me?"

There are so many buildings like this in novels and movies that one can’t help but associate them with this kind of building.

"You just think too much." John Woo's imagination is not as big as hers.

This brick barrel-shaped tower is indeed rare, but how could there be any Western magicians inside the special office?

Lin Fan shrugged and stuffed another Snickers bar into his mouth.

When you are scared, it is better to eat something to calm your mood.

After entering, I didn't see anything strange. The interior space was much more spacious than it looked from the outside.

Banhai, and some strangers they had never seen before were waiting for them inside.

After Lin Fan greeted them, she found out that they were the research team assigned to her by the Special Affairs Office.

Lin Fan looked at Ban Hai's impatient face and didn't dare to delay any longer, so he instantly switched to the star state.

After a series of tests, the equipment team moved the instrument to the corner.

"So Xingchen will be tested here from now on?" Lin Fan was less frightened after knowing this wasn't where she was being held captive. But he still felt strange.

If we want to test here, then the previous laboratory of the equipment department will no longer be used?

"No, this is a special case. We arranged you here for convenience. Normally you should be in the laboratory of the equipment department." After seeing Xingchen, Ban Hai's impatient expression finally eased a lot.

Mecha man, he has a new inspiration.

"Special circumstances?" John Woo was also confused. He had never heard the director mention that.

"Yeah, you don't know?" Ban Hai looked at his stunned expression, then looked at Xingchen, who was also stunned. "Big Brother wants to compete with Xingchen."

This sentence was like a bolt of thunder from the blue, shocking the two of them.

ah?!!!!

Guess who wins and who loses?
