This is a bizarre rule, isn't it? It's supposed to grant me many children and good fortune

Chapter 579 Activating…Cleanup Program

The moment she uttered that name, the air in the room seemed to freeze for a split second.

Just then, "Beep~"

A short, sharp electronic sound rang out from inside the black chassis.

Immediately afterwards, the indicator light on the old amplifier suddenly lit up, flashing red and green alternately wildly.

Suddenly, a piercing electrical noise came from the previously silent loudspeaker.

Then, the old speakers on the ceiling in the four corners of the room simultaneously emitted a loud "hum"—the entire broadcasting room began to tremble as if it had come to life.

"Bang!"

The wooden door to the broadcasting room slammed shut with a loud thud, the latch engaging.

Immediately afterwards, a plume of white smoke with a burnt smell shot out of the amplifier's heat dissipation vents. The smoke quickly condensed and twisted in mid-air, vaguely outlining the face of a woman.

The face opened its mouth and emitted a cold, synthesized female voice—

"Unauthorized intrusion detected... Access locked... Initiating... Cleanup process..."

The speakers on the ceiling suddenly emitted an extremely sharp sonic boom, like steel needles piercing the eardrums of both people at the same time!

Lin Feng felt a sharp pain in his eardrums, his vision went black, and he could barely stand.

Su Wan suddenly raised her hand, and a dark, eerie energy exploded in her palm, forming a barrier in front of the two of them. However, the sound wave seemed to have a life of its own, bypassing the barrier and slamming into her shoulder from the side!

Su Wan groaned, staggered back two steps from the impact, and slammed her back against the metal cabinet with a loud bang.

Lin Feng was about to step forward to help when suddenly, "Buzz—"

A very low-frequency resonance came from above, like some kind of heavy equipment waking up inside the ceiling.

He looked up sharply.

A faint blue-white halo lit up simultaneously from the four corners of the plasterboard gaps in the ceiling, spreading rapidly along the pre-embedded guide rails and in the blink of an eye weaving into a dense grid above the two people's heads.

Those threads of light were as thin as hair, each one radiating a chilling and sharp sensation that sent shivers down one's spine.

Immediately afterwards, the grid began to sink at a constant speed.

It's not fast, but it's incredibly stable.

Lin Feng's neck hairs instantly stood on end.

This looks just like the high-energy laser security matrix from Resident Evil. If it gets hit, it'll probably break into pieces.

The widest gap between those light filaments was no bigger than a fist, making it impossible for a person to pass through.

The grid had sunk to within 20 centimeters of its head.

"husband--"

Su Wan crouched down, her voice so urgent it was distorted:

"Exit the simulation immediately!"

A burst of dark, eerie energy exploded from her palm, which she then shoved upwards towards her head, attempting to slow the descent of the grid.

But the moment that beam of blue-white light touched the eerie energy, it sliced ​​through her energy barrier without any resistance, just like a red-hot wire piercing through butter, and continued to sink.

"It's no use! Hurry up!"

Lin Feng stepped forward and gripped Su Wan's outstretched wrist tightly with his left hand.

At the same time, his right hand clenched into a fist, and his heart sank sharply:

"Cut off!"

The simulation space was like a mirror struck by a heavy hammer, bursting open from the center with countless spiderweb-like cracks, and then shattering with a roar.

The two of them suddenly opened their eyes at the same time and fell back to their workstations in office 312.

Su Wan had a thin layer of sweat on her forehead, and her chest rose and fell slightly.

She turned to look at Lin Feng, whose face was also not looking good. His ears were red and his fingertips were trembling slightly. Clearly, the life-or-death threat he had just experienced had gone beyond the scope of "experience" and reached the level of real fear.

The two looked at each other and remained silent for a moment.

Su Wan spoke, her voice a little dry: "Amansa... was indeed kidnapped. They actually installed a laser security matrix in this abandoned broadcasting room."

Lin Feng frowned: "That strange energy barrier you released just now seems to have no effect on that laser?"

Su Wan nodded, her expression darkening: "This is irrefutable evidence that Amansa has been kidnapped."

"That laser contains no ordinary electromagnetic energy—it's filled with intense resentment, which is of the same origin as my eerie energy but is also its antithesis."

"My eerie energy barrier is essentially condensed spiritual energy, and the wavelength of that laser is just right to dismantle and peel away my spiritual structure strand by strand, like combing hair."

"It precisely countered my defenses, so my barrier was no different from paper in front of it."

Lin Feng pinched his chin: "Then, where is the Heart of Amansa—that is, its computing core host? To break the hijacking, we probably have to find the host."

Su Wan shook her head: "I don't know either. Fortunately, we have the bond ability of twin deduction. By exploring a few more key areas, we should be able to pinpoint its hiding place soon."

At this point, Su Wan let out a breath, and her voice suddenly softened:

"That just now...it felt so real, so terrifying. I almost thought I was going to lose you forever!"

As she spoke, she reached out and hugged Lin Feng, burying her face in his chest.

Lin Feng stroked her hair, his tone deliberately relaxed:

"Don't worry, your husband is very lucky. It won't be that easy. I still want to have a second and a third child with you."

Mentioning childbirth, Su Wantong's eyes lit up, and she looked up at him, "Honey, that was so scary! How about... we do it again to calm our nerves?"

Lin Feng paused for a moment, then pinched her cheek:

"You gluttonous girl, you're hungry again so soon? We still haven't figured out the source of the poison gas in the Heart of Amansa and the vent."

"Let's save our energy for simulations. Once we've resolved the crisis in the instance, then we can really let loose."

Su Wan pouted slightly, looking a little aggrieved, but after a moment she nodded understandingly:

"Okay, whatever you say, honey. So... are you thirsty right now, honey?"

Lin Feng smiled and said, "I do feel a bit thirsty."

………………

After nearly ten minutes of silence, the live stream screen slowly returned to normal, and both of them had a faint blush on their faces.

Lin Feng wiped his mouth, took out two pieces of dark chocolate from his personal space, and handed one to Su Wan.

"Eat some chocolate to replenish your blood sugar and prepare for the second round of simulations."

After taking small sips of the rich, slightly bitter chocolate, the two adjusted their breathing, closed their eyes again, and began their twin deduction.

This time, the goal was clear—to find the source of the problem in the dormitory's ventilation ducts.

Su Wan stood beside him, her S-level perception fully activated, and the two of them, like two phantoms, traced the flow backward along the ventilation ducts on the dormitory wall.

Before long, all the branching pipes converged and ended up in a sealed-off, abandoned isolation intensive care unit on the west side of the hospital.

This building stands apart from the main hospital complex, surrounded by overgrown weeds that are half a person's height, clearly indicating that no one has set foot here for many years.

The two passed through the rusted iron gate and followed the pipes into the ward...
