Cutting-edge Technology: I Provide the Brains, the State Provides Everything

36: The top agent has been captured alive! Long Weiguo was completely stunned!When Lu Chen’s greeting, plain yet carrying a hint of mockery, clearly echoed throughout the huge laboratory filled with futuristic technology.

The man in black, codenamed “Ghost,” froze completely!

He stood there motionless, like a stone carving instantly weathered by the wind.

All the confidence and pride in his pair of gray eyes, the only part exposed beneath his customized mask, were utterly drowned out at this moment by an emotion called “fear”!

A trap!

This was a Heaven’s Net tailored specifically for him right from the start!

What Defense Vacuum Period!

What secret passage!

It was all damn fake!

He himself was like the most idiotic clown, self-righteously stepping onto the red carpet the enemy had long prepared for him!

Walking step by step into the embrace of death!

”You... you all...”

Ghost’s voice was hoarse and dry, filled with disbelief!

”How could you possibly know I would come?!”

”Me?”

Lu Chen smiled.

He raised a finger and pointed to his temple.

”I don’t know.”

”But my ’Butler’ knows.”

”It not only knew you would come.”

”It also knows your name, what you like to eat, how many girlfriends you’ve had, and even...”

A devilish smile curled up the corners of Lu Chen’s mouth.

”It even knows about the cyanide capsule hidden in your third left molar.”

Boom!!!

This sentence was like a top-attack missile with a proximity fuse!

It precisely detonated Ghost’s last shred of psychological defense!

His face, hidden beneath the mask, instantly turned ashen white!

A bone-deep chill shot straight from his coccyx to the crown of his head!

His biggest and final trump card!

Was so casually... seen through by the opponent?!

”Run!!!”

This was the only thought left in his mind!

Without thinking, he stomped his foot violently!

His entire body instantly transformed into a black afterimage!

He shot toward the still-open alloy gate he had just entered through!

He had absolute confidence in his speed!

He believed that as long as he could rush out of this laboratory!

He could rely on his superhuman physical fitness and extensive escape experience to flee this damned hell!

However... he was still too naive.

Just as his fingertips were about to touch that gate, which symbolized “life.”

A cold, emotionless electronic synthesized voice slowly rang out throughout the laboratory.

[”Heaven’s Net” System, Security Mode, activated.]

[Command: Capture alive.]

The next second!

Ghost only felt the ground disappear beneath his feet!

The special alloy floor beneath him suddenly sank without warning!

An irresistible, massive suction instantly pulled at him!

”No—!!!”

A sharp, desperate scream rang out!

He didn’t even have time to react!

The massive suction violently dragged his entire body down!

”Bang!”

A muffled, heavy thud!

The alloy floor instantly returned to its original position.

As if nothing had ever happened.

The entire laboratory returned once more to a deathly silence.

Only the classic Western Alliance film, *The Truman Show*, continued to loop on the huge holographic screen.

Su Qingying gazed at the scene before her, which could only be described as a “miracle,” her ice-like beautiful face filled with shock!

She parted her lips, wanting to say something.

But she found that she couldn’t utter a single word!

This... it’s just... over?!

An ultimate ace of the CIA, whom even “Shadow” looked up to!

Was so casually... captured alive?!

Without even harming a single hair on the opponent?!

This isn’t ”capture” anymore!

This is practically just swatting a... fly that accidentally flew into the room!

Meanwhile, Lu Chen acted as if he had just completed a trivial little task.

He stood up from the main console and stretched.

”Alright.”

”The show is over.”

”The rest should be handed over to the professionals.”

He took out the internal communication phone and dialed that familiar number... Five minutes later.

When Long Weiguo rushed into the core laboratory with a large squad of fully armed Dragon Shield Bureau special agents.

He was completely... dumbfounded!

Inside the laboratory, everything was calm and quiet.

Lu Chen was leisurely sipping tea.

Meanwhile, ”Ghost,” the CIA’s ultimate ace who had made him feel like he was facing a formidable enemy—an agent he had prepared to sacrifice dozens of team members to capture—was tied up like a large zongzi with an unknown silvery-white metal, lying like a dead dog.

Lying quietly in the exact center of the laboratory.

Next to him lay a scattered spider-shaped metallic object.

And a cyanide capsule that had been precisely extracted from a tooth.

”This... this... this...”

Long Weiguo pointed at the ”Zongzi” on the ground, then pointed at the innocent-looking young man, his lips trembling, unable to utter a complete sentence!

He had envisioned countless possibilities!

He had even made the worst-case plan: the laboratory being blown up and Lu Chen being kidnapped!

But the one thing he hadn’t expected!

Was that after rushing over as fast as possible, the scene he witnessed was one of such... “harmony”?!

”Director Long, you’re here?”

Lu Chen saw him and greeted him with a smile.

”I caught the person for you.”

”This guy is very stubborn; you’ll probably have to put in some effort.”

”Oh, right.”

He pointed to the spider-shaped robot on the ground.

”This is the Western Alliance’s latest technology, a ’Quantum Eavesdropping’ robot. It’s quite interesting.”

”You can take it back and study it.”

”Consider it...”

”A welcoming gift from me.”

Long Weiguo stared blankly at the incredible scene before him.

And listened to Lu Chen’s casual words beside him.

He felt as if his brain had been trampled back and forth a hundred times by hundreds of thousands of *Cao Ni Ma*!

It had completely... crashed!

He suddenly turned his head and grabbed Qin Feng’s shoulder beside him!

His voice was trembling!

”Qin Feng!”

”Yes?!”

”You goddamn better go check, right now, immediately!”

”I need to know within one minute!”

”This kid...”

”What the hell kind of... monster is he?!”
