BXBX NOVEL Chapter 352: Capture
Chapter 352: Capture
Fang Linyan took a deep look at the panting Lanket,
“Calm down, Mr. Lanket. He’s dying.”
Then Fang Linyan waved his hand, and the elite mechanical warranty officer stepped forward and knocked open the locked door with a shoulder strike.
Mochi had already lost a lot of blood and fell into a blurred state when leaning against the door. After being hit by such a blow, he immediately flew 2 meters away, hit his head on the wall and passed out immediately.
Fang Linyan stepped forward, touched Mochi’s chest pocket, and immediately found a pen. Since he possessed {Metal Touch} now, he immediately understood its usage when his consciousness extended to this pen.
After unscrewing the cap of the pen and pressing it lightly, the dialogue between the two before was played immediately,
“Mochi, I want to seriously remind you again. I am the chief researcher now. I have the right to verify the authenticity of the data you got.”
“Mr. Lanket, I’m sorry. I don’t want to talk about this topic now, and I have got too much data. Which one you are talking about?”
“Mochi, are you sure to be my enemy?”
“Mr. Lanket, in fact, you are making enemy with me. Why was the paper submitted 3 years ago a week late? Because of this delay, my KPI for the past 6 months has not been completed, and your student successfully took over my title of deputy director.”
Having said that, Mochi’s voice became excited.
“Well, I told myself at the time that it was just a coincidence, but 2 years ago when my report for additional funding was rejected, I knew then that someone was secretly targeting me!”
“Then I asked you for peace. You told me to not mind about this coincidence, but a month later, seven pounds of flesh flowers were allocated to your student, but it was clearly applied with my quota!”
“You are obviously targeting me! You are afraid that I will take your position when I grow!”
Listening to Mochi’s words, Lanket was silent for a while and said,
“Okay, 10 million euros.”
“What?” Mochi said.
Lanket said seriously,
“10 million euros, and we are even. You will give me the core data you got. I swear in the name of my father’s grave that I will train you to be my successor in the future.”
Mochi sneered,
“Mr. Lanket, look at my middle finger. Hmph, this is my answer!! The humiliation you gave me, I will pay back 10 times in the future!”
Lanket said,
“Well then, farewell. Pa!! (gunshots)”
……
Lanket was obviously not surprised to hear his own voice being played out in every detail, but his expression now was a bit relieved amidst the gloom.
Because Mochi had closed his eyes at this moment. Blood seeped out under his crooked head, staining his blond curly hair. His face was pale, and his breathing seemed to stop.
The most important thing was that although Fang Linyan and Goat looked at Mochi seriously, they didn’t have any intention of rescuing him. Instead, they seemed a little nervous.
After about a dozen seconds, Lanket felt that the atmosphere was too awkward, so he forced a smile and said,
“Well, Wynch, thank you very much for your help in killing the traitor Mochi. I will definitely report your achievements to the headquarters when we return.”
Fang Linyan smiled, looked around and said,
“Alright, thank you very much.”
Having said that, he stepped forward and looked at Mochi, then he stretched out his hand to test his breath and sighed regretfully,
“Too bad it wasn’t him.”
Goat said next to him:
“Well, if I were it, I would definitely choose a higher position.”
Then Goat looked around and said,
“This room is pretty good, small and empty.”
Fang Linyan said,
“It’s okay.”
Hearing their words, although Lanket didn’t understand, a strong ominous sense suddenly appeared in his mind. He couldn’t help saying,
“Excuse me, what are you talking about? I don’t understand at all.”
Fang Linyan sighed and saidm
“Mr. Lanket, we actually have no intention of intervening in your dispute with Mochi.”
Goat also said at this time,
“Yes, in the workplace, this kind of thing is essential, suppressing and being suppressed are very common ——- just like most people will attribute the promotion of good-looking women to her ‘complex’ relationship with her male boss.”
Lanket felt relieved when he heard their words, saying,
“Actually, I really didn’t target him. These were all his own imaginations. There are always some people who like to blame their failures on others, right?”
Suddenly, Lanket felt wet on the back of his head, and he heard a ‘pss’.
He looked back in doubt, and he saw Goat behind him holding a small bottle with a spray head in his hand. There was a light blue water vapor floating in the air.
Apparently, Goat sprayed something on the back of his head.
Lanket touched the back of his head immediately, then he smelled it. He found that it smelled just like clean water, so he said in a puzzle,
“What are you…”
Before Lanket finished his sentence, he suddenly felt an indescribable pain in his spine!! He couldn’t refrain from screaming dreadfully. He struggled frantically on the ground, and his saliva and nose discharge were flowing out.
There was an unpleasant smell in the air. Obviously, Lanket peed in his pants!!
After just a few seconds, a gray shadow jumped out of Lanket’s body and bounced directly toward the door.
However, Fang Linyan and Goat were already prepared. When Goat was standing behind Lanket, he covered the door that was knocked open. He predicted the movement and sprayed at the gray shadow.
The gray shadow was sprayed head on, and it immediately fell and hit the wall. After twitching a few times, it became stiff.
If one looked carefully again, he would find that this thing was a strange beetle with a stainless steel luster all over its body. Its mouthparts were in the shape of cicadas and mosquitoes. It looked half like a cicada larva. Its legs were more developed as a flea. Its material was metal.
Not only that, but on the back of this beetle, there was actually a ruby-like crystal the size of a grain of rice, which made it look like an artwork.
Fang Linyan picked it up, and the {Metal Touch} immediately played a role. He immediately said with surprise,
“This thing… is not completely dead. It seems to have entered a state of suspended animation.”
Goat leaned over and took a closer look,
“The vitality of a mutant that can survive among so many rust-eating parasites must be quite tenacious.”
***
Yes, this mutated metal insect was the one that devoured many of its kind in the batch of rust-eating parasites and survived.
Not long ago, it ate a member of the Duckland Company in the upper layer of the Veronica Laboratory. That unlucky guy was still defined as missing as he had not been found yet.
And Fang Linyan had obtained a lot of information related to it from Pumesh before, knowing that it even had very high intelligence, which could reach the level of 10 years old or even higher than that of human beings.
In this case, for this mutant, the best solution was to secretly parasitize a certain person, then followed this person back to the big city. That would be its paradise.
Obviously, the target of this mutant must be the group of people who first entered the upper layer of Veronica Laboratory.
It just so happened that Lanket and his group followed Fang Linyan’s advice and stayed in the upper power supply room ——– which was its lair for a long time. This insect also attacked a member of the group. It may obtain a lot of information from the victim.
So obviously, no matter in terms of emotion or reason, this mutant had a probability of more than 50% parasitizing on this group of people.
Just a moment ago, among the group of people who escaped from the upper layer, apart from Fang Linyan and Goat, there were only 2 people left. Namely Lanket and Mochi.
Fang Linyan felt that this mutated rust-eating parasite had a certain chance of hiding on them, and the cost of verifying this matter was very low.
Because before leaving, Fang Linyan and Goat asked Nimbus for some special insecticide they configured. Firstly, it was to expel those mutated half-metal creatures outside. The half-metal turtle jellyfish was scared by this thing. Secondly, it was to capture this mutant.
TL: They want to capture it for their own use or submit to the company?
