Chapter 213 Extra Meals: An Art
Four "cleaners" entered Renxin Pharmacy, their cold, sharp gazes quickly locking onto Lin Wei, like a scanner.
The leader raised his hand and made a gesture, and the two people behind him approached Lin Wei from the left and right, forming a flanking maneuver.
Another person stood at the doorway, blocking any escape route. He opened a silver box in his hand, revealing several syringes that gleamed with a ghostly light.
This squad is well-trained, has excellent teamwork, and is highly experienced in combat.
Their objective was clear: to take Lin Wei away, and if necessary, to take coercive measures.
"Don't be nervous, Mr. Liu." Wang Minyu glanced at Mr. Liu, whose face was pale, and said in a relaxed tone, "They're not here to buy medicine. It's just that the construction site across the street is probably too noisy, so they came here to 'listen to the noise'."
He flicked his fingers, and several silver needles danced in his hand, gleaming faintly in the soft light of the pharmacy.
"Is this all the 'cleaners' at Top Bio are capable of?" Wang Minyu stared directly at the leader, speaking without emotion. "You can't even assess the impact of a patient's emotional fluctuations on treatment, yet you want to take my 'sample'?"
The leader seemed surprised that Wang Minyu would directly expose their identities, and his expression shifted slightly.
He didn't respond, but simply commanded in a deep voice: "Target locked, execute recovery!"
The two "cleaners" who approached Lin Wei moved quickly. They slid two specially made wristbands out of their sleeves, and the electric shock probes at the front of the wristbands flashed a faint blue light.
This is a non-lethal weapon that can instantly paralyze nerves, rendering a person unable to resist.
Facing the two men's encirclement, Lin Wei advanced instead of retreating, twisting her body in a very small arc to narrowly avoid the attack from the protruding head.
With lightning speed, she grabbed one of the men's wrists and twisted it hard. With a dull thud as if bones were dislocating, the stun wristband fell to the ground.
Although she received "treatment" from Wang Minyu, her innate spy instincts did not disappear.
On the contrary, after a night of deep rest, she was in peak condition.
However, the other side had four people.
Another "cleaner" stepped in even faster, delivering a palm strike to Lin Wei's neck.
At this critical moment, Wang Minyu made his move.
The silver needles in his hand were not flying needles in the traditional sense.
With a slight flick of his wrist, four silver needles shot towards the Yongquan acupoints on the soles of the four "cleaners" at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye, as if guided by invisible threads.
Yongquan on the sole of the foot is a major acupoint in the human body.
Stimulating this acupoint can cause mild soreness and numbness, or severe loss of strength.
The four "cleaners" froze almost simultaneously, their bodies going limp as if by reflex.
It was a tingling and powerless feeling that spread from the soles of the feet to the whole body, as if the legs were filled with lead, or as if stepping on cotton, unable to exert any strength.
"Lie down," Wang Minyu said calmly.
Almost reflexively, the four of them leaned forward and fell face-first into the dirt.
Their bodies twisted on the ground, struggling to get up, but they found that the more they struggled, the stronger the tingling and numbness in their Yongquan acupoints became, as if someone was constantly pricking them with needles.
Lin Wei was dumbfounded.
She had never seen such a bizarre method of defeating an enemy.
Without the clash of swords or the exchange of blows, just a few silver needles were enough to instantly incapacitate four battle-hardened agents.
"Boss Liu, close the door," Wang Minyu said.
Mr. Liu was already terrified, his legs trembling as he pulled down half of the roller shutter and hung up a "Temporarily Closed" sign.
"Who...who are you people?" The leader struggled to lift his head, staring intently at Wang Minyu. His strong willpower, honed through training, allowed him to maintain a clear head despite extreme discomfort.
"Doctors who heal and save lives." Wang Minyu picked up the stun wristband and examined it. "Looks like your equipment isn't very good. Is this thing for shocking others, or for shocking yourself?"
He gently placed the wristband around the leader's neck, and the electric shock probe flashed a faint blue light.
"Don't...don't do anything reckless!" The leader finally couldn't hold back anymore, his voice trembling slightly.
He felt a deep fear of this “non-physical” method of control.
"I just wanted to help you relax a bit," Wang Minyu smiled slightly. "People like you are under constant mental stress, and your bodies accumulate too many toxins. A little electrical stimulation can clear your meridians and improve circulation, which is good for your health."
He pressed the switch.
"Ah—!" The leader screamed, his body convulsing violently as if he had been electrocuted.
But after a moment, the convulsions stopped, replaced by a...exhaustion-like trembling.
"How are you feeling?" Wang Minyu released his grip.
The leader was panting heavily, and large beads of sweat rolled down his forehead.
He felt as if something inside his body had been forcibly "emptied".
It was a mixture of fatigue, relaxation, and a hint of... inexplicable refreshment.
"Now, let's talk." Wang Minyu turned his gaze to Lin Wei. "Ms. Lin, you've seen it. The Peak Creatures aren't as 'merciful' to you as you imagined. The people they sent weren't here to invite you back for tea. You know better than I what's in those syringes."
Lin Wei's gaze fell on the syringes.
She knew it all too well.
That's a memory eraser, and also a biochip implant.
Once injected, she would no longer be Lin Wei, but merely a formatted shell, a tool that could be manipulated at will.
She shivered. Wang Minyu had saved her; that was a fact.
"You need to make a choice," Wang Minyu continued. "Is it to continue working for those who see you as a expendable resource, or... to live for yourself for once?"
Lin Wei fell silent.
Her gaze darted back and forth between Wang Minyu and the subdued "cleaners".
Reason told her that Wang Minyu was too dangerous and too mysterious.
But emotionally, she knew she had no way out.
"I can help you. But you must guarantee my safety, and... my freedom," Lin Wei finally spoke, her voice a little hoarse.
"This is a deal. We've always been fair." Wang Minyu nodded, then looked at Boss Liu, "Boss Liu, tie them up. Remember, don't use ordinary rope, use that kind of hemp rope that's just been pulled out of the warehouse and is covered in mold."
Looking at the agents on the ground, Boss Liu was afraid, but with Wang Minyu backing him up, he became much bolder.
He shakily found a rope and tied the four of them up tightly.
"Master, they have biochips on them. Zero has been located. And this silver box contains a biological sample collector." Su Qing's voice came through Wang Minyu's bone conduction earphone.
"Dispose of the chip. Send the collector to the underground lab for Zhao Na to study," Wang Minyu ordered. "Also, have them do 'voluntary labor' for the construction workers in the pharmacy's backyard. Use their bodies to test the effectiveness of the 'Spirit Gathering Array'."
The "Spirit Gathering Array" is the architectural blueprint that Wang Minyu recently obtained.
According to Su Qing's preliminary analysis, it can slightly increase the energy concentration in the region, accelerate the growth of medicinal herbs, and improve human microcirculation.
Using these agents to experience it is the perfect thing to do.
He walked up to the leader and took a chip the size of a fingernail from his neck. "This is your 'contract of servitude.' Without it, you're a free man."
The chip was crushed. The leader shuddered, as if sensing that some connection had been severed.
"Now, tell me, what does Peak Bio want to do with my sample?" Wang Minyu asked Lin Wei.
Lin Wei took a deep breath and calmed herself down. She knew that she had completely entered another vortex.
"Peak Creatures is conducting a 'divinity shaping' project," Lin Wei said, lowering her voice. "They believe that by extracting extraordinary gene samples from specific individuals and combining them with the technology of Organization S, they can cultivate a 'container' capable of 'adapting to' and 'controlling' underground energy organisms."
"A container?" Wang Minyu raised an eyebrow.
"Yes, a vessel that can perfectly fuse with 'Originium' energy and use it as the core to construct a 'new god'," Lin Wei continued. "And your genetic sample was rated by them as... A+ grade. It is one of the most promising 'vessels' discovered so far."
"A+ level?" Wang Minyu found it somewhat amusing. "Then who's A level?"
"Zhao Wuji," Lin Wei replied.
Wang Minyu nodded.
Zhao Wuji, the executive director whom he forced to "spiritually cultivate" at the resort, is indeed deeply involved.
"Why are they looking for a 'container'? Is it to control the underground Matrix?" Wang Minyu pressed.
Lin Wei hesitated for a moment before saying, "It's not just the Matrix. The S Organization and the Pinnacle Creatures are both searching for a 'perfect individual.' An individual that can connect with all biological energy and transform it into controllable power. In their words, it's the 'spirit of all things.'"
"The spirit of all things?" Wang Minyu pondered the word.
His system, isn't it the "God-Level Leek Gardener System"? Could all of this be no coincidence?
Just as Wang Minyu was pondering, Su Qing's report came through the bone conduction headphones.
"Master, Situ Zhen reported from the resort that the energy clash between the 'Mother' and 'Father' has entered a new phase." Su Qing's voice was somewhat strange. "Those guests of 'Light of Logic' have started... writing poetry. And it's poetry that uses quantum mechanics to explain love."
Wang Minyu raised an eyebrow.
"And the guests at the 'Fountain of Sensibility' became extremely calm. Some even used mud to perform calculus in the hot spring pool," Su Qing continued to report.
This "Mandarin Duck Hot Pot" therapy has unexpectedly proven effective.
"It seems this is what true 'interdisciplinary studies' really are," Wang Minyu muttered to himself.
He looked at Lin Wei: "Since you've decided to cooperate, let's make a deeper deal. I need you to infiltrate back into the Peak Creatures and steal more core data about their 'Godhood Shaping' plan. I'll provide you with enough 'disguise' and 'blessing' to ensure you remain undetected for a short period."
"You have a way to do it?" Lin Wei asked with some doubt.
"Haven't you already experienced it?" Wang Minyu pointed to his head. "My 'Emotional Overload Therapy' can put you into a special 'disguise' state mentally. Combined with my special medication, your biological signals will temporarily become 'unreadable'."
"As for the reward..." Wang Minyu smiled slightly, "I promise to help you completely sever your connection with the Peak Creatures, allowing you to become a truly free person. Furthermore, I will give you a future you have never imagined."
Looking into Wang Minyu's unfathomable eyes, Lin Wei knew she had no other choice.
"Deal." She held out her hand.
Wang Minyu gently shook her hand.
Welcome to Renxin Pharmacy.
