After ten years of hard work, Lorraine had achieved her basic plan. She became a B level strongman. Not only completing a master's degree from the medical school, she also obtained a primary physician's license. She became an intermediate researcher at Alicata Life Research Institute, had her own office and two research assistants. Every annual public holiday, Lorraine and Qian Xu would take a trip to somewhere together as promised.
Tonight was a welcome back party for Consul who had went for a mission for ten years. Lorraine and Chen Sha opened the dance floor as Consul suggested. Between her and Chen Sha, things were no difference all along.
Suddenly, the light went off. The hall plunged into darkness.
Lorraine's eyes had not yet adapted to the sudden darkness. Everything went pitch black. Chen Sha had already pounced out like a fierce beast.
After a while in the screaming crowd, Lorraine vaguely saw that someone wanted to assassinate Consul. Chen Sha was fighting with some people. Zi Yan was not in her sight, but his purple tarot cards were hovering in the air, forming a constantly changing matrix, blocking all the bullets like shields.
Bai Li Cang, Zuo Qiu Bai, and Zong Li did not make a move. Each encircled defended one side, making sure they would catch all assassin.
The people on the dance floor screamed while finding a place to hide, but the sound of crackling bullets made it seem like nowhere to be safe. They pushed around in panic, making the situation even more chaotic.
Suddenly, a beam of light came on.
Lorraine saw Feng Lin holding the emergency flashlight and Chu Mo stood at the door shouting: "Evacuate out here, do not push, go one by one!"
The panicked crowd suddenly had a direction. They all rushed toward the light. Lorraine also followed the stream of people.
Dimly, she felt something. She turned around and quickly grabbed a woman's wrist. Using her five fingers strength twisted and pushed, the mini-syringe in the woman's hand was injected back to herself.
The woman stared at Lorraine in shock. Lorraine did not have time to be proud, a hand had quietly covered her mouth and nose. Lorraine lost consciousness before she could even struggle.
When Lorraine regained consciousness, the flying car had just stopped. She turned out to be on the employee parking lot on the roof of the Life Research Institute.
She didn't know what these terrorists did. All the light in the base was cut off, and the entire base was completely dark.
Lorraine was roughly pushed out of the car. A bald man put a gun against her head: "Open the door!"
The cold gun's muzzle pressed on her skin, giving a silent fatal threat. Lorraine trembled lightly but did not move. Abruptly thinking of what did they want to do.
"Open the door!" The bald man smashed Lorraine on the head with a gun.
Lorraine felt the blood shedding down from her head. She ordered the Institute's intellectual brain: "Identity verification. Authorized."
"Confirm identity, Luo Xun." The heavy metal door slowly opened.
Two men flanked Lorraine's left and right and dragged her into the institute.
There was no usual light. The flashing emergency lights in the corridor made the surroundings looked extremely ghastly and quiet.
Without inquiring, the two men found the employee's emergency elevator. It seemed that they were familiar with the internal structure of the institute.
The elevator leading to the third basement would automatically recognize the identity. The non-related staff could not use it.
The bald man signaled Lorraine to press the elevator: "We want genetic research's data!"
"The entire Life Research Institute researched genes. Which part do you want?" Lorraine tried to delay time while quickly thought about the way out.
The bald man said impatiently, "Don't pretend to be stupid! The most secret one!"
"I'm just a mid-level researcher. I have no access to the most confidential research. You catch the wrong person."
The bald man punched Lorraine's face heavily. She fell and hit the elevator wall, limply knelt on the ground.
Lorraine mouth was full of blood. Her entire face was numbed with pain. She curled herself blocking the sight of the two men, pretended to wipe the blood from the corners of her mouth, and quickly checked the personal terminal to found that it was completely blocked. It was impossible to send out any messages asking for help.
The bald man grabbed Lorraine's hair and pulled her up, with the gun in the middle of her forehead: "Do I still need to help you recall?"
Lorraine whimpered and shook her head: "No...need."
She shivered and pressed the second basement, leaving a shallow blood mark on the button.
The elevator door slowly opened. The two men dragged Lorraine out.
Lorraine's steps staggered. Her hand was on the elevator door as if supporting her from falling down but left there a blood stain.
Lorraine analyzed that these people operated viciously, seem like professional mercenaries hired by someone. After the job done, the most likely thing to happen was to kill her.
To hope Chen Sha and others to come in time didn't seem to be possible. After all, Consul's safety was definitely incomparable more important than her. In the chaos, she didn't know what time they would notice that she had been missing. Everything was uncertain. She must find a way to save herself.
