Chapter 218 Prosthetic Workshop
The two of them seemed to have fallen into a huge slide, sliding down the silver-white passage.
There was another metal door in front of him with a screen on it. Just by looking at the complicated password, Xia Qingluo concluded that this door was more troublesome than the previous door to the data room.
Xia Qingluo tapped the earphone lightly, but didn't hear Cohen's voice. It seemed that there was no signal here.
Lu Chengyuan observed the surrounding environment. He had never heard of this place in his previous life, nor had he been there.
"Let me try." Lu Chengyuan took out his mobile phone, connected it to the screen, then took out a small keyboard, and a string of codes appeared on the screen.
Xia Qingluo stood aside, and while Lu Chengyuan was waiting for the progress bar, he asked, "Have you also been reborn?"
Lu Chengyuan paused, turned his head and looked at Xia Qingluo. Seeing that the girl's pretty face had no expression, he panicked instantly, his fox eyes drooped slightly, "Lolo, I didn't mean to hide it from you."
Xia Qingluo immediately caught the mistake in his words, and his eyes instantly became sharp, "You knew I was reborn a long time ago but never told me, are you trying to trick me?"
She took a step forward. Although she was almost a head shorter than the man, her aura was no weaker.
Lu Chengyuan panicked instantly. The thing he feared most happened at this most critical moment.
His voice was trembling and full of anxiety. "I'm not trying to play a trick on you. I'm just afraid that after I tell you, you'll ignore me."
Lu Chengyuan didn’t know whether Little Green Tea’s method would work, so he just cried first.
The man's fox eyes began to become moist, and he was about to cry, his voice slightly sobbing, "At that time, you were fierce and cold to me, and I didn't dare to make you unhappy at all. It was a long time before I knew you were reborn..."
"Since you have a second chance to live, why did you choose me?" Xia Qingluo's voice was still a little cold.
Lu Chengyuan met Xia Qingluo's gaze, his voice low and powerful, every word seemed to be a vow from the bottom of his heart, "I love you, who else would I choose besides you?"
Xia Qingluo didn't expect Lu Chengyuan to give this answer and was stunned for a moment.
Lu Chengyuan continued, "In my previous life, I was investigating the cause of my parents' death, so I misunderstood your parents and thought they were the ones who did it, so I was always... very restrained towards you."
Seeing the girl frowning, Lu Chengyuan quickened his pace, "You may not know that after you fall asleep, I often go home to secretly see you, but I always leave before you get up."
"In fact, you are too eye-catching, and it is easy to offend people in the entertainment industry. Many people have had feelings for you, but later I drove them all out of the capital."
"I am the person behind Lanying Media. The purpose of my founding the company is to support you in the entertainment industry. If you are criticized or betrayed by your entertainment company, I can be your backer."
"It's just that I'm narrow-minded. I got jealous when I saw you filming with those male stars, so I coaxed you and made you a housewife. It's all my fault..."
"I can actually drink a lot without getting drunk. Every time I drink with you at night, I'm just pretending. I just want to see what tricks you can play..."
Lu Chengyuan hadn't finished his words yet, but Xia Qingluo's eyes were already wide open, her eyelashes trembling constantly, and her eyes were full of shock.
She had no idea that Lu Chengyuan was hiding so deeply!
Xia Qingluo suddenly felt that the amount of information was overwhelming. She gently touched her cheek with the back of her hand, and it actually felt a little hot.
So in the last life, when she seduced him, he was reluctant to resist? He even enjoyed it?
Xia Qingluo stepped on Lu Chengyuan's leather shoes and said with his chin up: "You really tricked me! You must atone for your sins for the rest of your life!"
Lu Chengyuan hurriedly held Xia Qingluo's slender waist to prevent her from falling.
The man who was so powerful in front of outsiders, at this moment, was as obedient as a puppy in front of Xia Qingluo, with an exaggeratedly good temper, "Okay, I'll listen to you whatever you ask me to do."
Xia Qingluo snorted lightly, and suddenly thought of something, her face turned cold again, "Then why didn't you answer any of the dozens of calls I made to you for help?"
Lu Chengyuan explained seriously, "I was on this cruise ship at the time, but I was just outside the data room. When you called me, Luosha's people were looking for me. I was trying my best to crack the password and couldn't answer the phone."
His eyes dropped slightly. "Later, I successfully cracked the code and entered the data room. I saw the content about my parents' death."
"It describes the Shadow Society's methods of committing crimes in detail, but it does not describe what the Time Research Institute is..."
Lu Chengyuan deliberately did not mention what happened later.
He didn't want to say that he immediately left the cruise ship to look for her, and the last thing he saw was her dead body.
Lu Chengyuan didn't dare to say anything unlucky, for fear that it would become a reality again.
Xia Qingluo lowered her eyes and pursed her lips gently.
It turned out that she had wronged him, so that made them even.
Xia Qingluo lowered his eyes to look at the phone next to the screen. The progress bar on it had reached 90%, and reminded: "The door will open soon."
Lu Chengyuan stepped forward immediately, tapping his phone rapidly.
The door slowly opened, and strong light poured out instantly.
Just as Xia Qingluo was about to walk in, Lu Chengyuan pulled her back and said, "This room seems to have many traps. Don't rush in."
Xia Qingluo stood obediently beside Lu Chengyuan, looking at the string of codes on the phone in his hand, her eyelashes trembling.
From the previous data room to the current room, every lock was obviously more complicated than the bank's vault door, but Lu Chengyuan always seemed to be able to deal with it easily.
"Where do you rank on the dark web hacker list?" Xia Qingluo asked curiously.
Lu Chengyuan stared at the screen, his thin lips curled into a faint smile, "I didn't participate in the ranking, because I was the one who ranked the hacker list."
Xia Qingluo narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly, "How many things have you hidden from me?"
Lu Chengyuan smiled and said, "I really didn't hide it."
This time, Lu Chengyuan spent a full fifteen minutes to transfer control of the entire room to himself.
The real owner of the room became the administrator, and everything was under his authority.
After everything was settled, Lu Chengyuan took Xia Qingluo's hand and walked into the room.
Inside the room, rows of human limbs are hung on the metallic walls. They are of different sizes and shapes, and there are male and female, old and young. It seems like a limb exhibition room.
Xia Qingluo was startled and took a closer look, only to find that the tops of the limbs were connected to electronic components. They turned out to be highly realistic prosthetic limbs, even with flesh and blood.
"What is this place? A prosthetics studio?" Xia Qingluo asked.
Lu Chengyuan didn't say anything and continued walking inside, where he saw more strange things.
There were soft wigs that seemed to have life, human skin masks neatly arranged on the shelves, and all kinds of prostheses for disguise, noses, chins, and so on.
In addition to these, there are many life-size dolls whose degree of simulation is shocking.
Lu Chengyuan's eyes became colder and colder, "These things remind me of someone."
Xia Qingluo replied in a deep voice: "This may be Luosha's face-changing studio, but who are those prosthetic limbs for?"
