Chapter 280

Inside the building, all was silent. The alarm from the brick-style phone in Jane's hand seemed particularly harsh. Jane's lips, which resembled cherry blossoms, were tightly pressed together, turning a shade paler. A tiny heart seemed poised to leap from her chest. Frederick tightly gripped the hand of Jane, his gaze firm and steady as he looked at her. "Don't be afraid, I'm here." On the other side. In Lucas's room, beyond the transparent chamber, the faint sound of mechanical movement could once again be heard. The man from the D country who had vanished earlier, reappeared. The corners of his mouth curved in a playful smirk. He continued to speak in his broken Chinese. "Mr. Wallace, your Wallace family is truly full of hidden talents. It's quite a pleasant surprise for my master. Therefore, my master wants to make this game a little more interesting!" With that said, he pressed the remote control in his hand. Immediately, cold air began to fill the sealed chamber they were in. The man from the D country glanced at the remote, "Mr. Wallace, the current oxygen level in your chamber is 17%, and the temperature is 0 degrees Celsius. Every ten minutes, the temperature will drop by one degree. Enjoy the game, Mr. Wallace!" Lucas sat on the ground, his back against the transparent wall, controlling his breathing rhythm, not even opening his eyes. Shadow Three and Shadow Seven also remained still. Their current environment was already short of oxygen, and any slight movement from them would consume more of it. However, if this continued, with the temperature dropping lower and lower, they would either suffocate from hypoxia or freeze to death! The man from the D Country looked at Lucas indifferently, adding a hint of amusement to his face, "That's right, the master has also ordered me to show Mr. Wallace how much this cute little sister loves you!" As he spoke, clear holographic projections of Jane and Frederick appeared in the air behind him. Frederick was leading Jane down a metal corridor, Jane's face wearing a solemn and nervous expression it never held before. Lucas opened his eyes, and as he saw Jane's figure, a sharp light flashed across his pupils. The next instant, he adjusted his breathing and closed his eyes again. Yet his hands were clenched tightly into fists. Jane had arrived - he needed to survive this and get out, he mustn't let Jane be in any danger. The man from the D Country watched him, chuckled lightly, then disappeared from the room again. The two white egg-shaped metals appeared in Lucas's hand once more. His long phoenix eyes hidden under the golden-rimmed glasses glowed coldly, and he beckoned to Shadow Three and Shadow Seven, "Come here!" Shadow Three and Shadow Seven hesitated for a moment before quickly approaching him. Lucas held one of the eggs which grew in size, enveloping them completely. The other one was activated with a self-destruction program by him and tossed it out. "Boom!" A violent explosion sounded, shaking the entire room they were in. The metallic egg enclosing the three of them was retracted, yet the transparent chamber remained unaltered. Lucas rose to his feet, slender fingers with striking knuckles tracing the transparent material. Under the touch of his finger, the material was as soft and bouncy as jelly! However, the feeling he had when leaning against it earlier was as hard as a diamond. From extreme toughness to extreme softness. How could he tear such material? Lucas's brows knitted tightly. — Meanwhile, Jane and Frederick, who were traversing the metallic tunnel, also heard the faint sound of an explosion. Jane was knitting his brows tightly, quickly determining the direction, "Over here!" With this she hastened, her short legs carrying him towards the direction of the explosion. As soon as they entered the room where Lucas was, they found themselves looking at their holographic reflection in the room before they even saw Lucas. However, just after a glance. The holographic projection fluctuated, and a figure enveloped in a black cloak appeared in the image. Staring at the figure, Jane was startled, and her chubby little hands were tightly clenched into fists. The man appearing in the holographic projection screen lifts his cloak, revealing a face hidden behind a silver mask. "Jane, Frederick, my old friends, I'm glad to meet you again here. The game officially starts now, have fun!" His voice drops, and the holographic projection disappears. Jane's eyes widen in surprise as she looks to where the projection vanished, then turns to look at Frederick. Could it possibly be that the elder brother from her past life who wore a silver mask is not the same as Frederick? But before she crossed over, the villain who coveted her time machine and even almost led her to death was a man always cloaked in black, his face hidden. How could the villain be her masked elder brother? Jane's heart wavers in turmoil. Frederick looks at her dumbfounded state and is about to say something when she regains her serious expression, "Saving Brother Lucas comes first!" She stretches out her small hand to touch the transparent material enclosing them. It's as slippery as jelly. With a bit of pressure, her hand bounces off. Trapped inside, Lucas, who is now extremely weak due to lack of oxygen and freezing temperatures, reaches out his hand, docilely touching the other side of the transparent material against hers. He takes off his glasses, looks to Frederick, and mouthing: "Take Jane away!" Tears well up in Jane's big bright eyes, but she doesn't let them fall. She fiercely slams a brick cell phone against the barrier. This time, instead of her hand, a bunch of sparks burst out under the force of her strike! Frederick grabbed her hand, "You can't break it, only the Freedom Decryption System can open it." Jane quickly dismantled the brick mobile phone with her small hands, linked up a computer with Frederick. Lucas raged from inside, "Frederick, take Jane away!" Frederick, who was focused on cracking the system with Jane, raised his eyes and glared at him, "Shut up!" Lucas: "..." Damn that Frederick! Jane also looked at him with the same expression, "Hang in there, brother, behave, no fuss, Jane will save you!" Lucas: "..." As time passed, a fine layer of sweat appeared on Jane's delicate forehead. Lucas, observing the outside Jane, hooked the corners of his mouth into the softest smile. Although he felt like he was about to die, before dying, being able to see his sister, he felt blessed! Jane's tiny trembling hand pressed the return key, her large eyes were full of nervousness as she looked towards Lucas. The transparent wall disappeared, and Lucas and Shadow Three, Shadow Seven, who were originally leaning on the wall, fell to the ground. Jane dropped the computer immediately and ran over to hug Lucas, "Big Brother!" The tears in her eyes finally rolled down. However, Lucas's whole body felt as cold and rigid as an ice sculpture. Jane clumsily cradled Lucas's cold hand in her arms. Frederick, with his brows furrowed tightly, took the medicine from Fisher's hands and fed it to Lucas. "Fisher, take off your jacket and hold Lucas!" Fisher: "..." With a blush of shyness tinting his cheeks. But he dared not disobey the little master's command. He could only take off his jacket and use his broad chest to warm Lucas. On the other side, Frederick had also fed medicine to Shadow Three and Shadow Seven. However, they did not have the same treatment as Lucas. No one was there to keep them warm. Outside the entire building, a citizen of Country D stood trembling behind a young man dressed in black cloak with a black mask on. His face was covered in cold sweat, "Master, they've breached the system. I'm incompetent. Please punish me!" The young man smirked slightly at the corner of his mouth, "Pretty quick, aren't they?" He cast one last glance at the building before turning to leave, "Blow it up!" "Yes, master!"
