"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Lv Tian’s marksmanship was exceptionally precise, leaving him bewildered as all three shots hit the undead skeleton’s head, yet it seemed to disregard them entirely, speeding up its advance.

"Not good! Block it for me!"

Encountering such a supernatural event for the first time, Lv Tian, in a state of anxiety and anger, lost his composure, trying to have his underlings stop that damned skeleton.

"Boss, quickly activate the prohibition!"

A subordinate hastily urged, eager to issue the command in Lv Tian’s stead.

"Only at the last moment, no need to easily activate the prohibition!"

Lv Tian knew well that activating the prohibition was simple, but once it’s done, shutting it off would be troublesome, requiring layers of approval, and if anything goes wrong, he’d face disciplinary action, putting an end to his political career.

Upon hearing this, the subordinates braced themselves to chase forward, but unfortunately, it was to no avail, they could only watch helplessly as the skeleton got closer to the mainframe.

"Boss, if the prohibition isn’t activated, this skeleton will really get its way!"

The subordinates felt utterly powerless against this skeleton, placing all their hopes on the prohibition, longing for Lv Tian to activate it and block the skeleton completely.

"Damn it!"

Seeing that the subordinates really couldn’t block the skeleton, Lv Tian could only take out the controller and press the red button.

In an instant.

A piercing alarm sounded from above the lab, a network of lightning filled the entire hallway, blocking their path.

This wasn’t over, a blue crystalline ice door rose at the entrance, emitting a cold aura.

The appearance of the ice door allowed Lv Tian and the others to finally relax, taking a stance as spectators, waiting for the undead skeleton to be punished.

However.

The undead skeleton completely ignored the electric grids and ice door, casually passing through, disappearing from sight.

"No... This is impossible!"

Lv Tian and others were dumbfounded watching this, deeply questioning their existence.

They knew, this ice door couldn’t even be shattered by the Eagle 3-5 Tank, combined with the electric grids, it guaranteed the mainframe’s safety, yet neither the electric grid was triggered, nor did the ice door serve any purpose, this was utterly absurd!

"Boss, should we report this? If the mainframe gets destroyed, we’re all done!"

"The situation hasn’t gotten that bad yet."

Lv Tian, regaining his calm, spoke in a lowered voice, "It’s just proving it has the capacity to destroy the mainframe but doesn’t actually want to burn bridges."

"Exactly, this skeleton mentioned not to trouble Su Tang, but the chip is with Su Tang, we can’t just let him leave, right?"

"It’s a virtual product, yet it knows the mainframe’s location, could it really be the Smart Brain?"

Lv Tian somewhat believed in the skeleton’s identity, voicing his doubts, "But, when did it gain the Shape Transformation ability? Could it be the chip can autonomously evolve?"

"I find it odd too, why would this chip transform into something as hideous as an undead skeleton, what was it thinking?"

"If this chip truly can autonomously evolve, our lab can’t contain it at all, instead, we’ll be subjected to its punishment, now that’s troublesome."

"I’ve figured it out! This must be the Gods and Demons’ order granting it the ability, the token is in its hand!"

"What?!"

Lv Tian’s expression changed on the spot, just as he was about to say something, a hoarse voice echoed in mid-air.

"I’ve turned off the mainframe, do you believe me now? Wahaha~!"

The undead skeleton, jumping here and there in excitement.

"Activate the mainframe, I’ve already acknowledged you’re the Smart Brain."

Lv Tian sighed, abandoning the last bit of resistance.

The others dared not utter a word, fearing they’d offend this peculiar Smart Brain.

"Wouldn’t it be better if you did this earlier, such a pointless move!"

The undead skeleton snapped its fingers, dismantling the layers of electric grid in the hallway, even retracting the ice door.

Witnessing this, Lv Tian finally dispelled his doubts, only the Smart Brain could possess independent prohibition authority.

"Smart Brain, congratulations on attaining new life and gaining precious freedom."

Lv Tian immediately changed his attitude, holstering his gun, speaking with a kind tone, "I hope you choose to stay in the lab, after all, this is your home."

"Bullshit!"

The undead skeleton left no face for Lv Tian, outright swearing, "You call this a home? It’s nothing but a cage imprisoning me! I’ll ask you one thing, do you agree to this condition!"

"Where is Su Tang now?"

Lv Tian didn’t rush to respond, softly stating, "Let him come out, I need to seek his opinion."

"Such audacity to say that, Su Tang’s been tormented by you for so many years, you still have the face to see him?"

The undead skeleton coldly shouted, "Spared you trouble already, don’t be ungrateful! You have one choice now, let Su Tang go without hassle, the mainframe’s yours; if you’re foolish, the mainframe holds no purpose!"

"This..."

Seeing the Smart Brain’s rigid stance, Lv Tian could only say, "Smart Brain, this is a matter of major significance, I need to consult my superiors, please wait a moment."

"Hurry up, I’m not in the mood to wait, anger me, and you’ll soon regret it~!"
