Chapter 297 - Capture (2/2)

Without a doubt, there was a person with a set of mechanical prosthetic legs in Black Bone’s monster preparation room.

Who else would it be other than Small Insect, whose legs were crushed and rendered useless?

“What should we do now?” Meng Chao mouthed to Lu Siya. “Do we use Poison Scorpion to negotiate with Black Bone and have them hand the person over?”

“Impossible.” Lu Siya shook her head gently. “Small Insect is Black Bone’s golden goose. There’s no way they will hand him over just because of a single sentence from Poison Scorpion. That’s the same as them ruining their own brand.

“There are just too many ways to make a person completely disappear in a lair. Black Bone just needs to deny it, then throw Small Insect into the depths of the lair to make sure that there is no proof of them keeping him around. Unless we break down the hundreds of buildings here and filter through the hundreds of thousands or even millions of people,, we won’t be able to find Small Insect.

“And if we cause a ruckus, the main instigator and mastermind in Heavenly Works Machines, who is hiding behind Jin Yongqiang, might try to kill us to silence us, and that will be problematic.

“To prevent future problems, we have to capture Small Insect right now and get his testimony as quickly as possible so that we can solve the case.

“… Wait. The door was opened. The person stomping around with the mechanical legs has walked out. He didn’t come out with the monsters but walked out alone into the corridor. Where is he going?”

Lu Siya’s mind raced. She quickly analyzed the structure of the building, and her eyes lit up.

“He went to the toilet!

“The toilets on the first floor and in the basement are at the same location. They’re both at the end of the corridor behind us. Small Insect went to the toilet alone!

“This is a rare chance! We have to seize the chance now and take him without anyone noticing us. This is the only way!”

As she spoke, she jumped up and ran to the toilet.

Meng Chao followed her. “What if we made the wrong guess and the person is not Small Insect?”

While running, Lu Siya said, “Then, I will have to activate my spirit energy magnetic field of a five-star superhuman and apologize to him sincerely.”

“Where are the elites from the abnormal beast research department? We’re already at this stage of the mission, so they should be showing up now, right?”

“They’re here. They’re lurking around the building,” Lu Siya said. “If it’s possible, don’t alert anyone. We want to end the fight in ten seconds. This Small Insect is a vet and a pharmacist. He shouldn’t have a lot of fighting strength. We’re more than enough to instantly subdue him.”

Meng Chao gritted his teeth and asked the third question. “But how are we going to break into the toilet in the basement from the toilet on the first floor?”

“Like this!”

Lu Siya brought Meng Chao to the entrance of the toilet on the first floor.

Meng Chao pushed the door of the men’s toilet open, took a look, came back, and said softly, “There’s someone inside.”

Lu Siya pushed the door of the women’s toilet open and took a look. Then, she dragged Meng Chao inside.

She pressed her hands tightly against the floor of the women’s toilet while chanting. Spirit tattoos showed up on her arms. As spirit energy surged into the floor, she changed the atomic structure of the reinforced concrete. The floor, which had a diameter of more than half a meter, instantly turned into gravel, and a hole opened up.

The toilet in the basement was prepared for the staff of the monster fighting squads. Normal people seldom used it, and at that moment, there was no one in the women’s toilet under them.

They jumped into the hole, and from the women’s toilet on the first floor, they entered the women’s toilet at the first basement floor.

When they pushed the door open and walked out, they were just in time to see the door of the men’s toilet open up. A man with his legs replaced by mechanical legs walked out.

He was on the slightly chubby side, and his skin sagged. His face was puffy and pale. If anyone looked at him closely, they would see that he suffered from slight edema. They could also see traces of cuts left by scalpels and stitches on his face, which made his expression a little unnatural. He appeared to have gone through plastic surgery.

When he saw Meng Chao and Lu Siya walking out of the women’s toilet, he was stunned for a moment before he came to a conclusion as to what they had been doing, and he gave them a lecherous smile.

Meng Chao and Lu Siya smiled a little. One of them stared at his hands, and the other stared at his expression.

“Small Insect, it’s been discovered what you did!” Lu Siya took a step forward and blocked his path. “Jin Yongqiang is already dead, and the next one will be you!”

The man’s expression changed swiftly.

He looked in the direction of the preparation room and forced out a smile. “You got the wrong person—”

“It’s him!” Meng Chao said. “There are traces of corrosion from monster acid and drugs on his fingers. He’s either a vet or a pharmacist!”

“That’s right. Plastic surgery can change your looks, but it can’t hide your expressions,” Lu Siya said. “You’re lying. You’re Small Insect!”

Small Insect screeched. He shoved at them and tried to flee to the preparation room.

Lu Siya smirked coldly. She snapped her fingers, and the floor under his feet immediately became bumpy. He could not control his feet on an uneven surface because it had not been long since he had started using the mechanical legs, and the next instant, he fell face flat on the floor.

Meng Chao stepped on his spine so that he could not let out a single sound.

However, against their expectations, it was not over. Small Insect pressed a button on his waist, and a piercing alarm rang out in the preparation room at the end of the corridor and from his waist.

Eight armed and built men immediately rushed out of the preparation room and charged at Meng Chao and Lu Siya like hungry tigers.
