The man in black led Lin Xiaoqiang, Wang Meili, and Ah-Zhai cautiously toward the main building of the research facility. The structure looked dilapidated from the outside—most of the windows shattered, the walls mottled and weather-stained, overgrown with creeping vines. It appeared eerie and desolate, as if long forgotten by the world.
"Dr. Klaus is very likely still inside, continuing his experiments," the man in black said in a hushed voice. "We need to sneak in quietly. We can't alert him."
The front doors were tightly locked, but that posed no obstacle for the man in black. Several team members behind him swiftly produced tools and deftly picked the lock within moments. The group slipped into the building without making a sound.
The interior was even more decrepit than the exterior—broken instruments lay scattered in disarray, the floor littered with shards of glass and a thick layer of dust. A pungent chemical odor hung in the air, laced with a strangely sweet undertone that made one feel inexplicably uneasy.
"This place... really gives me the creeps," Wang Meili whispered, sticking close behind Lin Xiaoqiang. The pink energy at her fingertips flickered unsteadily, ready to strike at any moment.
Ah-Zhai, clutching his video camera, scanned every corner, meticulously recording everything on site.
Lin Xiaoqiang perked up his ears, listening intently. Aside from the groaning of the old building under the wind and the faint hum of certain electrical equipment, there were no footsteps or voices. Yet he could vaguely sense—lingering traces of fear and anxiety left behind by animals still swirled in the air.
"Dr. Klaus is probably deeper inside," the man in black said, examining the footprints on the floor to determine the direction.
They moved slowly down a narrow, dimly lit corridor. The doors on either side were all shut tight, each bearing strange plaques inscribed with unfamiliar symbols. They appeared to be labs, observation rooms, or perhaps... holding cells.
Just then, a faint pink light flickered through the crack of a door at the end of the corridor. The light pulsed, accompanied by a low humming sound, as if some kind of energy device was operating within.
"Careful. Something’s going on in there," the man in black warned, raising a hand to signal a halt. He retrieved a small detector from his belt. The needle on the instrument trembled violently, emitting soft beeping sounds.
"Anomalous energy levels are off the charts… the target is right ahead," he said in a low, grave voice.
The group stepped lightly as they crept closer to the door. The man in black slid a miniature mirror into the gap, carefully observing the room within.
The room was spacious and orderly, filled with advanced equipment. At the center stood a massive crystal container, glowing with intense pink light. The light churned and writhed like a living thing, as though it sealed away some unknown lifeform or energy within.
Dr. Klaus stood in front of the container, his back to the group. His silhouette stretched long in the glowing light, like a ghostly specter. He was muttering under his breath—his voice low and hurried, filled with fanaticism and obsession, as if conversing with the entity inside the crystal.
"We've found him," the man in black murmured, a glint of cold light flashing in his eyes. He turned and gave a hand signal to the others, instructing them to prepare for combat.
Lin Xiaoqiang, Wang Meili, and Ah-Zhai held their breath. They understood that what they were about to face would not be an ordinary test subject, but the mastermind behind the entire "Pink Mutation" project—a mad scientist wielding formidable supernatural powers.
