"It’s moving, the insect is moving..." Xiao Manxuan exclaimed, visibly excited.

Senior Sister Yang also turned to look at Professor He, her face filled with joy, "Professor, the insect is reacting."

Then, everyone thought of something and looked at Lin Tian, because it was Lin Tian who suggested simulating the corpse decay environment while injecting the blood mist.

Lin Tian slightly raised an eyebrow, unsure whether to feel happy or worried. The happy part was that a part of Jiang Chen’s body could be confirmed to be under the earth’s fissure, making the acquisition of Jiang Chen Bloodline one step closer.

But the worry was that a dead Jiang Chen could still have such a significant impact; if he were unsealed, what consequences would ensue? Moreover, is Jiang Chen really dead?

Professor He seemed much more composed, having experienced numerous difficult and complicated experiments. The professor waved his hand, signaling everyone to quiet down and observe again.

"Xiao Yang, the blood mist concentration has dropped, inject again." Professor He instructed Xiao Yang without raising his head.

Senior Sister Yang took a test tube of sheep blood, placed it into the fogging machine, and once more introduced it into the sealed chamber.

As the blood mist was introduced, the blood mist concentration inside the sealed chamber climbed rapidly. Even without using an observation mirror, one could see the blood mist swirling inside on the screen, which felt very eerie, giving everyone the sensation of watching a horror movie.

The insect remained crouched, but all six legs began to move slowly, indicating clearly that the insect was waking up increasingly fast.

Suddenly, the screen went dark, as if something had covered the lens. Senior Sister Yang was startled, almost dropping the test tube in her hand.

"What is it?" Senior Sister Yang asked cautiously. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

"That’s the insect; it jumped up and attached itself to the camera." Lin Tian frowned, noting that the insect’s speed was too fast. If a person were attacked without preparation, they wouldn’t be able to react at all.

Professor He also marveled, "Such strong jumping ability, definitely a champion in the insect world."

The two had just finished speaking when a piercing "creak, creak" sound emerged from the speakers, as if something was scraping against glass.

"Lin Tian, it seems the insect is attacking the camera’s glass." Xiao Manxuan stared wide-eyed at the screen.

But since the insect was right on the camera, only a shadow could be seen moving around. Xiao Manxuan, who raised Little Zi, knew what this sound signified; Little Zi would emit such a harsh sound when tearing or gnawing on glass or metal.

"Don’t worry, although this laboratory isn’t the highest level, an insect can’t break the specially made glass." Professor He confidently assured, although if he knew the insect’s origin, who knows if he would still say the same.

However, he didn’t let his guard down, rising to tell Senior Sister Yang, "Xiao Yang, transfer the biological sample to a higher protected level laboratory."

"Okay, Professor He." Senior Sister Yang agreed, then injected a type of gas into the sealed chamber.

Lin Tian and others could see the blood mist in the sealed chamber being dispelled, replaced by white mist. Although unsure of what it was, Lin Tian guessed it might be something akin to ether, used for anesthesia.

With a thud, the insect fell down, unsure if the anesthesia took effect or the environment changed. Once confirmed the insect was no longer moving, Senior Sister Yang operated the computer to extract the gas inside.

With a click, the sealed chamber opened, and Senior Sister Yang had already prepared a bottle and tools, intending to place the insect into the bottle for transfer.

She just extended the tools when the insect suddenly moved and leaped up, darting straight towards her face. Never having seen such a bizarre insect before, she gasped in shock and instinctively closed her eyes.

Indeed, when many women encounter danger, their instinct is to close their eyes rather than evade or take defensive actions. Of course, exceptions like Miss and Ning Luoxi exist as skilled individuals.

In a critical moment, Lin Tian reached out and deftly captured the insect, then accurately tossed it into the bottle and sealed the lid.

The others then reacted, with Xiao Manxuan immediately checking Lin Tian’s hand for any injuries, though she knew of Lin Tian’s abilities, she couldn’t be at ease without checking.

He Xiaofei did the same as Xiao Manxuan, but her movement stopped abruptly, her face flushing immediately. She didn’t know why she was so anxious about Lin Tian.

The person Lin Tian admired most was Professor He, who promptly pressed a red button on the control panel.

Clicking sounds ensued as windows, doors, drains, and vents rapidly activated valves, all sealed shut.

Accurately speaking, it was complete isolation; Professor He had isolated this laboratory from the outside world. Such advanced laboratories have emergency procedures for laboratory accidents, and the recent development constituted an experimental accident with potential risks, prompting the professor not to flee but to isolate, preventing danger from spreading.

There were instances where a school would shout in case of an earthquake, instructing leaders to leave first! Compared to Professor He’s courage and calmness, those leaders who fled at the sight of danger were worlds apart.

"Professor He, it’s all clear now." Lin Tian broke the tense atmosphere with a calm and steady voice.

Professor He breathed a sigh of relief and accepted the bottle from Senior Sister Yang’s trembling hands.

"Thank you, Lin Tian." Senior Sister Yang, with a decent level of psychological resilience, took a deep breath to calm herself, then sincerely thanked Lin Tian.

Though amazed by Lin Tian’s reflexes and speed, it wasn’t the time for inquiry. Lin Tian didn’t offer any explanation, merely smiled, then casually donned a mask and shrugged.

The monitor screen flickered, and a person appeared, visibly tense, "Professor He, the central control detected emergency isolation in the laboratory. What happened?"

Senior Sister Yang intended to speak, but Professor He gestured her to hold, first responding, "Something happened, but it’s resolved now. Have Professor Xia come down; I recall she’s in the experimental building."

"Alright." Understanding the confidentiality protocols of the laboratory, the person didn’t probe further.

Professor He deactivated the isolation but remained, signaling Lin Tian and others to sit and wait.

Soon, three people entered, led by a woman in her thirties, wearing a white lab coat. It was evident she was tall and quite beautiful, with shoulder-length hair and rimless glasses that made her look intellectual and capable.

"Professor Xia." Professor He greeted the woman first, surprising Lin Tian and Xiao Manxuan since the woman was in her thirties yet already a professor, and a beautiful one at that.

"Professor He, these two need routine questioning and documentation; it’s procedural, hope you understand." The beautiful professor said earnestly.

"Naturally." Professor He didn’t object.

He Xiaofei whispered to Lin Tian and Xiao Manxuan, "It’s protocol for laboratory accidents."
