233: Chapter 233 Eve Not Found? Let's Name Lin Yuan's Harem First.

"Cut the crap..." Zhang Yi gritted his teeth, crimson blood seeping from between them.

He wanted to prove himself too much.

Under Captain Han Xue's cold gaze and the overlooking eyes of the formidable monsters of the Cloud Top Palace, he had to drag out this so-called "Special Arrival Target."

Click.

The test tube couldn't withstand the pressure of the high temperature and the Superpower, and a tiny crack appeared on its surface.

The moment the crack appeared, the swirling mist of blood finally coalesced.

It didn't disperse blindly but instead formed a strand of scarlet thread, as thin as a hair but blindingly bright, which drilled out through the crack in the test tube.

The blood thread hovered in mid-air, its tip pointing due north.

"It's working!" Zhang Yi's face lit up with wild joy.

But the next second, the blood thread began to tremble violently in the air, emitting a "hissing" sound similar to friction in a strong electric field.

It tried to pass through the wall, but as soon as it touched the thickened titanium alloy wall plate of the medical room, it was repelled as if it had hit an electric fence.

The pale red glow dimmed.

"Alert. Energy entity attempting to penetrate the Inner Circle shielding layer." Liu Qing's cold broadcast voice rang out at the right moment.

"The Inner Circle's interior walls are reinforced with two layers of radiation-proof lead plates and high-density alloy, and are covered by low-frequency electromagnetic interference."

"Your Superpower cannot pass through walls."

Zhang Yi's face turned from red to white.

It felt as if his brain had been pierced by a steel needle; he swayed, nearly collapsing.

"Damn it... why is the shielding here so thick?"

Director Xu Changfeng frowned and looked at Su Muxue.

"Dr. Su, can you open a channel? Even if it's just opening the ventilation duct valves."

Su Muxue didn't answer, only looking at the permission prompt Liu Qing provided on the screen.

Three seconds later, Liu Qing's reply came over the broadcast: "Six auxiliary ventilation valves in the Inner Circle have been opened, allowing the passage of harmless energy entities."

"Again!"

Zhang Yi let out a low roar and punched his chest.

A mouthful of heart blood sprayed onto the test tube shards, and the red thread, which had been about to dissipate, instantly shone brightly, drilling accurately into the ventilation duct network overhead like a bolt of red lightning.

Beep!

On the main screen, the 3D perspective view of Tiangong No. 1 lit up.

Using the infrared and energy capture system, Liu Qing projected the movement trajectory of the blood thread onto the structural diagram in real-time as a red dashed line.

Everyone was staring at the screen.

The blood thread moved extremely fast within the ventilation ducts.

It first rushed along the ducts toward the logistics support area of the Outer Circle.

The red dashed line on the screen extended rapidly, passing through the greenhouses and warehouses, but when it swept over the laborers' dormitory area, the blood thread only trembled slightly before turning back at an extremely rigid right angle.

"It's not the Outer Circle."

Director Xu Changfeng stared at the screen, his fingers tapping the tabletop unconsciously.

The blood thread swam back to the Inner Circle.

This time, it circled above the quarantine area and the temporary camp.

Zhang Yi's body began to tremble violently, and two lines of black blood seeped from his nostrils.

Every time the blood thread turned or searched for a path, it was tearing at his mental sea.

"Captain Han Xue... look at me..."

Zhang Yi stared at the screen, his voice hoarse.

"I can find her... I definitely can..."

Captain Han Xue stood by the door, expressionless, not even casting a glance at Zhang Yi.

"Where is it going?" Jiang Yun looked at the screen, a trace of anxiety finally appearing on her cold face.

She discovered that the red trajectory was breaking through all the restrictions of the Inner Circle in an unstoppable manner, heading straight for the core area.

Tiangong No. 1.

That was a restricted area that only Lin Yuan and his core lovers could enter.

"Beep! Alert! Unknown energy entity is approaching the Inner Circle No. 1 airtight gate."

On the screen, the red thread drilled out from a gap in the ventilation duct and stopped in front of the twenty-centimeter-thick reinforced steel explosion-proof gate.

It stopped moving.

Instead, like a nail, it pinned itself firmly onto the biometric lock in the center of the gate.

The pale red thread began to consume the frost on the gate's surface, emitting a strange heat.

The things installed in the Inner Circle had two layers, but Tiangong No. 1 had twenty.

"It can't get in..."

Zhang Yi could no longer hold on; he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood and collapsed onto the floor.

He panted heavily, pointing at the screen, his eyes filled with absurdity.

"The aura is locked... it's right behind the door..."

Jiang Yun clenched her fists.

"This is impossible." Her voice was a bit shrill.

"Tiangong No. 1 is full of Lin Yuan's women, their backgrounds have been thoroughly investigated by Jingcheng, how could it be..."

"How could my mother's aura..."

Director Xu Changfeng's expression was also terrifyingly gloomy.

The air was suffocatingly heavy.

Hiss!

The airtight gate slid open slowly.

Amidst the rising cold mist, Lin Yuan walked in, his military boots thudding.

His expression was calm, his black trench coat still carrying unmelted snow from the outer wall. His eyes swept over the collapsed Zhang Yi and finally landed on Jiang Yun.

"Lin Yuan."

Jiang Yun took a step forward, her voice tense. "You should give us an explanation."

Lin Yuan ignored her.

Su Xiaonuan's voice was very low in the communicator.

"Boss Lin, should we immediately investigate all females in the Inner Circle?"

Lin Yuan didn't answer.

He only asked the communicator.

"Liu Qing, can his Superpower be faked?"

The screen cut to data.

Liu Qing's voice was steady.

"There is no interference with the equipment. There is no external signal hijacking on-site."

Zhang Yi immediately looked up.

Jiang Yun's lips also moved slightly.

Liu Qing changed the subject.

"However, the database has no [Bloodline Echo] samples, so it cannot be ruled out that the Superpower itself was guided."

Zhang Yi's expression froze.

Jiang Yun looked at Lin Yuan.

"You dare not investigate?"

Lin Yuan sat in a chair, his hand resting on the armrest, ignoring her.

Jiang Yun slammed her hand on the table, looking directly at Lin Yuan.

"Eve concerns all players. If she is hiding by your bedside and you protect her, you are dragging Jiang-Zhe-Hu Region down with you."

"I will report your unwillingness to cooperate to Jingcheng!"

Outside the Inner Circle corridor, two management personnel glanced at each other.

They had already started whispering.

"Do you think Eve could be Housekeeper Su?"

"I think Jiang Xiaowan is more like it."

Someone in the Jingcheng Team immediately spoke up loudly.

"There are so many women in Tiangong No. 1, who can say for sure?"

As soon as the words fell.

Zhou Heng pushed the door open and entered with his men.

Su Xiaonuan raised her tablet, her voice still hoarse.

"Spreading unverified information, 300 contribution points deducted."

Zhou Heng grabbed the two Inner Circle management personnel and dragged them toward the periphery.

Captain Han Xue led her team to seal off the corridor.

A Jingcheng Team member tried to run over to say something more, but she kicked him back.

Jiang Yun looked at the red mark under Captain Han Xue's collar that wasn't covered.

"Captain Han, Zhang Yi is still here."

Zhang Yi snapped his head up.

Captain Han Xue didn't even turn her head.

"Old World debts should be settled with the Old World."

Jiang Yun's gaze froze.

Captain Han Xue added.

"Mention it again, and I'll treat it as a provocation against Tiangong No. 1."

Zhang Yi's lips moved.

He didn't dare to make a sound.

Lin Yuan stood up.

"Director Xu Changfeng, keep an eye on your people."

Director Xu Changfeng lowered his head.

"Understood."

Jiang Yun stared at Lin Yuan's retreating figure, her voice turning cold.

"You won't be able to stall for long."

That night.

The light in the master bedroom turned on.

Su Xiaonuan closed the door and handed the day's data to Lin Yuan.

"Boss Lin, Jingcheng wants us to conduct an internal investigation."

She paused.

"As long as we investigate, the Inner Circle will be on guard against each other."

Lin Yuan didn't take the report.

[Target Jiang Yun (Beauty 91), Current Favorability: -8%.]

From the moment they met until now, she had been suppressed several times, yet her emotions hadn't exploded.

This woman was not the princess-type she appeared to be.

Su Xiaonuan stepped half a step closer, her voice low enough for only Lin Yuan to hear.

"If Eve is a player, she won't trigger the system."

"For those already bound, one calibration is enough to tell."

Outside the door came Tang Qiqi's excited voice.

"Party? Party? I have a full set of catgirl outfits! The one prepared for Dr. Su is the ice queen kitty, and the one for Su Xiaonuan is the white cat secretary style!"
