"At this moment, what we need to do is just stay inside the elevator for one minute."

Song Kunlun said.

One minute later.

Click.

The elevator made a clicking sound.

Then, a keyboard appeared inside the elevator, and Song Kunlun entered a few digits on it.

Ding.

After Song Kunlun finished entering the numbers, the elevator made a ding sound and slowly started to descend again.

It moved for about ten seconds.

The elevator paused briefly and then stopped.

Click.

The elevator doors opened.

Song Kunlun stepped out first, with Kunpeng walking beside him.

"With the design of these layers, even if I or anyone else who can enter the lower four levels is coerced, it’ll be enough to kill them by the third level." Song Kunlun said with a smile, "Even if they’re not killed on the third level, the deadly cyanide in the elevator will send them to heaven. Kunpeng, tell me, if you hadn’t seen my actions earlier, do you think you could have entered my underground lab?"

"No."

Kunpeng shook his head and said, "I couldn’t get in."

"Hahaha, that’s why this place is the safest in the region. As long as my people can guard the elevator entrance, no matter how many come, they won’t be able to reach me. Even if they get in the elevator, I can decide how many come in and how many fall." Song Kunlun said with a smug smile.

"You’re indeed more sinister than I imagined." Kunpeng said.

"To have Kunpeng call me sinister, that’s truly an honor," Song Kunlun replied with a grin.

In front of them was a corridor, with doors lining both sides.

"Aside from the barriers of the elevator, I have these barriers."

Song Kunlun pointed at the surrounding doors and said, "There are thirty-two doors in total here, and the entrance to the underground lab is behind one of them. If you open any other door and try to unlock it, all room doors will automatically lock. These doors are made of special materials, not even a grenade launcher can break them. Once all doors automatically lock, this corridor will conduct a hundred thousand volts of electricity. Kunpeng, even you wouldn’t be able to withstand such high voltage electricity, right?"

"No, I can’t."

Kunpeng shook his head and said, "However, there must be a way to leave even if it automatically locks."

"Of course there is, but it’s not convenient for me to tell you here, hahaha."

Song Kunlun laughed and walked up to an apparently ordinary door, then reached out and turned the lock.

Click.

The lock didn’t open, but suddenly an alarm blared.

Intruder alert, intruder alert, high voltage electricity is being activated...

"What’s going on?" Kunpeng asked with a frown.

"This is one of my defenses," Song Kunlun explained, "No matter which door you try to open, you’ll trigger the alarm. But... you’ll see in a moment."

After speaking, Song Kunlun stood by the door, while the others calmly remained at the entrance.

Ten seconds passed.

"The alarm is deactivated, the correct room is unlocked,"

A voice suddenly announced.

"These locks have been specially treated. Even this correct door lock will trigger the alarm when you first try to open it. Then, what would most people do? Naturally, they won’t believe it because they’ve already somehow confirmed the lock is genuine. So they’ll try to grab the lock again to open the door. But if they grasp the lock again, the high voltage will instantly kill them. Moreover, if someone gets electrocuted, the real lock will automatically lock, becoming just like the other locks around it, and even I can’t open it. It’s a psychological tactic." Song Kunlun explained.

At this time, a trace of seriousness finally appeared on Kunpeng’s face, just as Song Kunlun described. Knowing the lock is real, if we try to open it and it triggers the alarm, our first reaction would be to try turning the lock again to see if it’s really the correct one or if it’s malfunctioning. But by then, it’s already electrified, and another attempt would lead to a dead end. Moreover, if you’re electrocuted, the door remains locked. If your companions come, they’d be trapped here and face the torment of high voltage.

Such actions, which manipulate both psychological and physical reactions, made Kunpeng wary of Song Kunlun. With someone like Song Kunlun, you never know when he might set you up without you realizing it. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

"At this point, the correct thing to do is ignore it; the alarm will automatically deactivate in ten seconds." Song Kunlun said with a grin, grabbing the lock once more and giving it a turn.

Click.

A noise sounded, the lock opened, and Song Kunlun pushed the door open, saying, "Alright, inside is the real laboratory."

Once said, Song Kunlun entered first, followed by Kunpeng and the others.

"Actually, every door in this room leads to the lab, the difference being that some doors are fake and trigger alarms and electricity. But I can control which one is real or fake. I change the real door once a day. Today it’s door number 5, tomorrow it might be door number 7. Aside from me, nobody can know which door is truly real." Song Kunlun explained, "Even those famous organizations, their defense systems aren’t as strong as mine, haha."

"That proves how important your research is here," Kunpeng commented.

"Naturally." Song Kunlun nodded.

After passing through another bright corridor, they reached a glass door up ahead.

Song Kunlun opened the glass door, revealing a vast laboratory to everyone.

Inside the lab, people in white lab coats were walking around. Some held files, others operated equipment.

There were easily dozens of people all together. The lab covered at least a thousand square meters, brightly lit, with various advanced scientific instruments hard at work.

Besides all this, large cocoon-like structures at both ends of the lab caught Kunpeng’s attention.

"Those are bio-pods," Song Kunlun explained, "used for housing test subjects."

"Test subjects." Kunpeng looked at Song Kunlun with slight surprise.

"Yes, test subjects." Song Kunlun’s face showed a sinister smile.
