Chapter 112 – He's here
Seeing the shattered teacup on the floor, the figure on the screen showed a surprised expression.
"What's wrong?"
She had never seen the Mind Master like this before.
Even among the high-ranking members of the organization, the Mind Master had always been calm and composed. He could handle any situation without being surprised, and he had a calm mind. Others could always rely on him to make the right decisions.
But now, just after receiving a phone call and a few words, he suddenly changed color and even smashed his beloved teacup into pieces. The extent of the shock was evident.
What kind of situation could make such a person lose control like this?
"Superman." The Mind Master said with difficulty, ". He might be looking for me."
"!?"
The woman on the other end of the screen also instantly lost her composure. At that moment, even her breathing was unconsciously interrupted, as if she was afraid that speaking the forbidden name would be heard.
This sounded very far-fetched and mystical, like not being able to directly call the true name of a true god.
But who knows?
That extraordinary being called Superman was originally a pervert. Anything beyond common sense seemed acceptable to him. Who knows if he had some strange passive ability that allowed him to hear his name being spoken.
"But how is that possible?" Shadow asked in a deep voice.
She forcibly suppressed the urge to sarcastically comment, "Didn't you say that Superman doesn't scare you at all?" Considering that the person on the other end of the screen might already be on the verge of death, it might not be appropriate to make such a cold joke at this time.
"It's that idiot, Xiao Yongxin. He exposed a flaw somewhere and was caught by the Endless Alliance."
"I see."
Shadow pondered for a moment and then continued.
"But don't be too nervous. That guy should have the restrictions you imposed on him in his mind, right? There aren't many opponents in the psychic department who can match you for a long time, and it's not easy to remove the restrictions.
So your secret may not necessarily be leaked, or even if it is exposed, it will take some time. After all, with your level of ability, even if they can bring in a psychic extraordinary being of the same level as you, it will still take some time to remove the restrictions.
Unless Xiao Yongxin voluntarily speaks up. Is he tight-lipped?"
The Mind Master pondered for two seconds.
Then his expression became even more grim: "I'm definitely doomed."
"."
Shadow was somewhat surprised by the Mind Master's confidence in his own ability to keep secrets.
"No, I have to leave here." The Mind Master couldn't sit still anymore. He suddenly stood up, his voice weak, "I have to leave before Superman or the other freaks from the alliance find this place."
Before he could finish speaking, a warning alarm popped up in his field of vision. It was the alarm system installed in his villa, the front door alarm. Someone had violently broken through the front door and entered the building.
The Mind Master's legs went weak, and he fell back onto the sofa.
"He's here." His face turned pale instantly. "He's here, he's here."
He looked like a prophet in a horror movie, constantly repeating these three words like a broken record, giving the audience and his teammates mental pressure after being scared by an indescribable terror.
In fact, the Mind Master was hiding in the underground facility of this villa. This villa was specially built by him to find people within the organization, an absolute military-grade fortress. From the moment you enter the door, there are various sensors and alarm systems, machine gun turrets buried in the garden, and a large number of traps inside the villa.
Literally armed to the teeth, with all kinds of weapons and traps. Even the world's top special forces would have to spend some effort to break into this place.
But obviously, all these fancy things were useless in the face of the impending arrival.
The machine gun was almost destroyed the moment that thing landed, and even the rate of fire of thousands of rounds per minute couldn't shoot out more than a few bullets before the gun was disassembled.
The front door was secretly equipped with a high-voltage electric shock of 100,000 volts, which should have turned anyone who touched the door without authorization into charcoal. But that being casually tore off the door panel, allowing the electric snakes to jump and crackle on his deep blue uniform, as if he had just peeled off a sticker.
"He's coming in, he's right above me!" The Mind Master's lips trembled.
"Calm down, are you in the underground facility?" Shadow tried to comfort him, although she herself was not sure how much she believed in what she said, "Your underground facility is built very hidden, I've been there, I know.
He might not notice the existence of the facility. Maybe he'll leave when he sees that there's no one home in the villa."
Boom!
A muffled sound, as if the entire building shook. Shadow could almost see the camera shaking through the screen.
"He's coming down!" The Mind Master's facial muscles almost twisted and deformed, "He's coming down, right next to me! I can feel it!"
Shadow opened her mouth, but found that she couldn't say anything.
In this situation, even the most optimistic person couldn't possibly lie with their eyes open. They all knew that the Mind Master was already a dead man.
The demon with the red cape had come down, and there was only a door separating him from the Mind Master.
An exceptionally sturdy door, built according to nuclear facility specifications. Smooth and hard on the surface, composed of two thick main alloy plates filled with a large amount of blast-resistant and impact-resistant materials, it was generally indestructible.A loud bang echoed from outside the door, sounding as if a main battle tank had fired a shot at it.
Dust fluttered down, and a large chunk of the door noticeably caved in towards the room, with signs of detachment appearing around the door frame.
"He's coming in! He's about to break in!" The Mind Master's thoughts were in complete disarray.
Phantom was at a loss for words.
What else could she say? Rest in peace?
She felt as if she was in a horror movie. A ruthless monster was breaking down the door, and the despair and terror of her dying teammate in his final moments were being transmitted to her through the video feed, causing her to break out in a cold sweat.
It was like Jack in "The Shining" swinging an axe outside the door, or the skin-wearing demon in "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" breaking down the door with a hammer and chainsaw.
The door was pounded again. The door panel flew into the room like crumpled waste paper, and the video feed was cut off at that moment.
Phantom's screen turned pitch black.
She didn't know what happened next.
But she knew that the Mind Master was probably dead.
Phantom sat in her safe house, unconsciously realizing that she was soaked through. Her breathing was rapid, her chest heaving violently. It took her a while to steady her breath with her hand.
She couldn't say that she was very close to the Mind Master.
Nor could she say that they had any emotional connection.
That's how it was within the Electronic Wizard. Whether friends or colleagues, most people had their own agendas, and there was rarely any real emotion involved.
If anything, they were just ordinary friends outside of work.
The emptiness she felt now was probably due to a sense of sorrow for the loss of a comrade.
But now was not the time to be sentimental.
The Mind Master was a high-ranking member of the organization, a part of its core. His exposure was not just his problem, but a sign that the core of the entire organization had been breached.
This was the highest level of alert.
After calming her breath, she immediately dialed a number.
A line that only high-ranking members of the Electronic Wizard were allowed to use in the most urgent situations.
"What's the matter?"
A gloomy voice came from the other end.
"Emergency situation, boss." Phantom took a deep breath, "The Mind Master has been found by Superman, the core layer has been breached.
I think we might need to evacuate our headquarters."
The basement was breached.
Jiang Bei finally arrived at the deepest room. Dust swirled around him, his red cape billowing in the thin veil of dust.
"You're a hard man to find." Jiang Bei walked in, dusting off his clothes, "You've built a pretty good turtle shell."
The door that served as the last line of defense was broken, and the Mind Master, who had already given up hope, had considered himself a dead man.
But when he actually faced this red-caped devil, he suddenly found courage.
Why should he be afraid?
He was the Mind Master, a high-ranking member of the Electronic Wizard, one of the people with supreme authority!
Since he was going to die anyway, he might as well fight!
The Mind Master's face hardened.
A strange light appeared in his eyes in an instant.
