Chapter 22 Those Who Drown Are Usually Good Swimmers

If it was just to kill the target, Luo Xin could just throw a grenade, strengthen the damage, and destroy the building. But if he did that, he would be bankrupt.

This was a private commission.

The secret forces would not reimburse losses in this mission.

It was too much to tear down a building just to catch a thief.

He followed the scent.

When they approached the server, the smells became muddled.

The surroundings were filled with the smell of lavender. The target was wandering around here.

Luo Xin walked around the server and continued to walk in the direction he came from.

The scent molecules were like road signs.

The target walked around the room with Luo Xin.

Luo Xin immediately understood.

The target was still in the room.

However, the target kept moving and their movements were silent.

He no longer followed the scent, but suddenly sped up and swept the room.

The intruder seemed to have sensed his intentions and immediately reacted.

There was a loud bang.

The glass that protected the server suddenly shattered into pieces and scattered throughout the room, revealing the huge server inside.

Luo Xin was shocked.

He immediately rushed forward.

But he took a step and there was nothing.

A series of explosions came from below, and the glass on many floors was shattered.

There was an air cooling device inside the server. The cold air was sprayed out and mixed with the hot flow emitted by the server. The cold and hot air mixed together.

The smell of lavender was washed away by the air.

“D*mn it …” Luo Xin cursed.

He didn’t expect that the other party would choose this path to escape.

The outer glass of the server was specially made, and its strength was no less than that of titanium alloy. Even if he wanted to open it, it would take some time.

However, the target was actually able to destroy it in an instant?

With such a powerful destructive force, why would they need to escape? Wasn’t it better to fight directly?

Luo Xin jumped down and searched every floor, tracking the smell.

“Allie, monitor the room connected to this server.”

“Yes.”

In less than three minutes, Allie sent out a warning, “On the 182nd floor, the ventilation pipe is open. The server is connected to the room at the bottom.”

Luo Xin followed the server and entered the room at the bottom.

He saw the opened ventilation pipe, but he didn’t find the smell of lavender.

He had been played.

“In the room on the 185th floor, my doll was destroyed,” Allie said.

Luo Xin immediately went upstairs to search.

On the 185th floor, he found the smell of lavender. It extended to the gate and disappeared.

The fragments of Allie’s toy fell at the door and were cut in half by the laser.

The intruder noticed the doll’s abnormality.

Furthermore, the intruder could directly open the electronic door.

Luo Xin used the security procedure to lock the door, so only the key card in his hand could open the door. He didn’t know what method the intruder had used, but he could actually pass through the door directly.

Light and electronic doors were all disadvantageous factors.

Luo Xin put his backup plan into action.

“Allie, turn off the switch.”

In the power room, the three dolls came to life and flew up to pull the power switch. The lights inside the building disappeared one after another. Except for the server power, all other power sources were cut off.

The inside of the building was plunged into darkness.

There was no light at all.

Luo Xin’s enhanced vision allowed him to see his surroundings clearly with just the infrared light he emitted. All the electronic doors shut down.

With the security system locked, the power was cut off, and the door was completely locked.

The intruder could not open the door easily.

The electronic door was no obstacle to Luo Xin.

He understood the structure of the door.

The ability to use the lock’s buckle to reduce friction and the sliding of the buckle could easily open the door.

He continued following the scent.

From time to time, Allie would send out some warnings. Some of the information was correct, while some were red herrings.

The intruder’s ability to hide was very strong, and his mind was quick. He wanted to use all sorts of methods to escape, but unfortunately, he had no way to do so. He had already been forced into a corner by Luo Xin.

It would take time for the intruder to use a laser cutter to open the door or to open some ventilation pipes.

Luo Xin followed the scent and chased after the intruder, not giving him a chance to catch his breath.

Both sides were chasing each other.

The intruder ran all the way down and entered the main hall of the company.

The area was very large, the ceiling was more than ten meters high, and the decoration was magnificent.

Luo Xin walked down the stairs.

The door lock had been cut open by a laser, and the residual heat caused the end to emit red light.

The other party had no way out.

The intruder was in the lobby at the bottom of the company.

It would take a long time to cut open the thick isolation doors with lasers. The ventilation pipe was occupied by Allie’s doll, and if the intruder entered, they would be courting death.

Luo Xin entered the hall.

He closed the door behind him and used his power to melt the edge of the alloy door. The two doors merged together and the door was completely welded.

Just then, he heard the sound of running water in the bathroom.

Luo Xin’s heart sank, and he immediately rushed to the public bathroom.

There was an open sink and an open tap. Clear water flowed out continuously, making pitter-patter sounds.

The scent was cut off.

The disinfectant was water-soluble so it would be washed away by water.

The intruder noticed the abnormality and washed away the smell on his body.

Luo Xin immediately checked the interior of the toilet. There was nothing abnormal, and the ventilation pipe was intact.

The intruder was still in the hall.

“Allie, the target is in the hall. Seal this place completely.”

The dolls in the hiding in the hall became active and blocked the gaps that could be used to escape. Other dolls continued to rush over and completely sealed off the hall.

Luo Xin looked around the hall. The intruder was hiding in the hall, but he had washed away his scent, so he couldn’t be tracked.

The space here was too big.

It would be a little difficult to catch the intruder, and he might escape again if Luo Xin was not careful.

Luo Xin thought back to the confrontation.

The other party could lock onto his position from a long distance through complex buildings, shatter titanium-like glass, climb at will, and move quickly without making a sound…

Luo Xin suddenly thought of a possibility.

If invisibility wasn’t the intruder’s ability, but it came from the help of some external object, the other information he had gathered was very consistent with a specific special ability. Shock wave control.

The intruder could monitor the sound of heartbeats, so they could locate people from a long distance. The intruder could use high-frequency vibrations to attach themselves to the surface of the building, use resonance to destroy fragile materials, and also hide the sound and vibrations from their own movements.

If that was the case, then there was a way to deal with him.

Luo Xin’s lips curved up.

He walked to the front desk and sat down. He rummaged through the things on the table and found a metal electronic pen. He held the pen in his hand and placed his fist on the metal table.

He turned off his headphones.

He used the tip of the metal pen to scratch the metal table.

The metal rubbed against each other as if nails were scratching a blackboard.

The key was that this sound was amplified by his ability by 100 times!

In the silent darkness, a loud noise of a few hundred decibels erupted. The glass around them cracked due to the resonance, and some even exploded.

After the loud noise. something fell from the ceiling and landed in front of Luo Xin.

The light rays twisted and flickered irregularly.

The camouflage effect of the intruder has disappeared.

A petite person was lying on the ground, wearing a high-tech tight-fitting nano suit. The clothes were wrapped around their whole body, like Shadow Man in Detective Conan. However, judging from the intruder’s curvaceous body, the intruder was a woman.

“It’s indeed shock wave control.”

The loud noise just now had also caused the other ability users to feel dizzy for a moment, not to mention these ability users who were sensitive to sound. Such a loud sound in the silence was comparable to a nuclear strike.

The intruder immediately fainted.

Those who drown are usually good swimmers.

The intruder would never have thought that she would fall into the field of sound waves.

Allie’s dolls swarmed up and landed on the intruder, grabbing her tightly.

Luo Xin knelt down to check and pulled off the intruder’s hood.

“Waa! Cat girl!”
