Tranxending Vision - Chapter 816

Chapter 816: 816

The electrical supply to every machine was cut off . The lights dimmed and eventually went out covering the lab in darkness . In that brief moment, everything froze as if time stood still . The silence ensued for a few seconds before it was broken .

“What’s happening? Why is the power out?” Salmon asked . “We have dedicated lines for our power, no?”

“I have no idea . I’ll turn on the backup power now . ” A voice rang . He spoke to Salman in Hindi .

During this period, Xia Lei quickly reached out to the door handle and left the laboratory . He pulled something out from his backpack as he ran towards the stairway leading to the roof .

“Boss, aren’t you worried about the experiment result?” Tsukino Kyoko followed after Xia Lei .

Crack! A gentle sound rang . Xia Lei turned on a tactical flashlight . A beam of light shone in the pitch-black hallway .

“What are you doing?” Tsukino Kyoko was anxious . “Turn it off! You’re basically painting a target on our backs . ”

In contrast to Tsukino Kyoko, the tension gradually disappeared from Xia Lei’s face . “Stop talking and follow me . We need to get out of here . ”

Tsukino Kyoko was confused but Xia Lei didn’t bother to explain . She didn’t pry any further given the situation . She followed Xia Lei into the stairway . Shortly after, they were on the roof .

They were shocked to see that this building was not the only building that had a power outage . Instead, no light was visible in the whole area . The whole area was shrouded by a blanket of darkness . It was terrifying .

“How is this possible?” Tsukino Kyoko didn't know what to make of this .

“Forget it . We need to get out of here now . ” Xia Lei approached the edge of the roof and found the rope with the help of the tactical flashlight .

The rope was hanging at the outer wall . One end of it was tied to the base of the lightning rod, another end of it was hanging on the wall and dropped to the alley .

“Go on first,” said Xia Lei .

“No, you go on first . I got your back,” said Tsukino Kyoko .

“Quick!” Xia Lei shouted . “There’s no time for this . Get down now! Also, turn on your flashlight . ”

Tsukino Kyoko shrugged her shoulder . “When have you ever seen a ninja with a flashlight?”

Darkness was the cloak for the ninja, the darker the environment was, the better for ninja . If a ninja used a flashlight in the dark, that would completely defeat the purpose of a stealthy suit .

However, Xia Lei couldn’t laugh at all . He felt the danger approach him from afar . The feeling was as strong as the feeling he had during that night in Hattori Mei’s villa .

Fortunately, Tsukino Kyoko took action immediately . She grabbed on the rope tightly and slid down to the alley . She was fast, which she only took ten seconds to reach the ground from the thirtieth floor .

Xia Lei grabbed the rope and prepared to slide down .

Just when Xia Lei was about to jump off the roof, he heard woosh behind him . He felt that a bullet had hit on his tactical flashlight . The glass of the tactical flashlight and the bulb inside shattered . The impact was large enough to numb his hand .

Whoosh!

The sound of an object moving at high speed sliced through the air . However, it was too fast to be spotted with the naked eyes .

Before Xia Lei could do anything, the rope he was holding suddenly became lighter . A large part of the rope fell onto the ground .

It was his only way out of this building .

Xia Lei could feel the fear rising in his chest . He quickly took a glance at his right, which was where the stairway was situated .

The security door was closed, but a person was standing in front of the doorway . He was wearing a black robe . His face and hands were invisible . It seemed like a robe hanging in the air . It was not human .

As soon as Xia Lei spotted the man, he bounced back by kicking the ground while pulling out his gun . He quickly fired a shot at the man in the black robe .

The viper pistol Xia Lei had was equipped with a silencer, which eliminated the sound of the gunshot . The bullet travelled beyond the speed of sound . The man was not far away either . The bullet should be fast enough to pierce his skull .

However, the man managed to avoid the bullet . He even did it after the shot was fired!

Ding!

The bullet hit the steel plate of the security door .

Suddenly, the man dashed towards Xia Lei .

Xia Lei pulled the trigger and fired seven to eight shots at the man in the blink of eyes .

The man didn’t let down his guard . He strafed from side to side, avoiding the bullets with ease . It was a complete violation of the law of physics . His body was as light as the robe, which was near weightless .

A bullet hit the man in the chest .

It was the last shot from Xia Lei . He saw the bullet pierced through the man’s body, but he couldn’t see blood flowing out from the man’s body . He saw the man drifting back as the bullet passed through the man, but he recovered after a short while .

He didn’t have a body!

He was similar to Zhu Xuanyue!

Perhaps, he was more powerful than Zhu Xuanyue .

Those thoughts popped into Xia Lei’s mind in waves . However, the man came in front of him before he could conclude anything .

Although Xia Lei’s evolution was near perfection, it couldn’t be compared to the man in the robe . He was still too slow when he was compared with the man .

Before the gun smoke disappeared into the wind, the man grabbed Xia Lei by his neck . He could feel the cloth around his neck, but not the hands that were supposed to accompany it . In a split second, a tremendous force threw him to the ground .

Xia Lei was so close to him but he couldn’t see his face . His X-ray vision was not working either .

“Am I going to die?” This thought popped into Xia Lei’s mind . Despair and fear were slowly creeping over him, he couldn’t see any hope .

However, Xia Lei’s fear didn’t turn into reality . The man didn’t do anything to him . Instead, the man stared at Xia Lei with his inky black eyes, deeper than an abyss .

That was the illusion of Xia Lei . The eyes staring at Xia Lei were just a pair of black eyes . The eyes with no other colour except for black .

“Who are you?” Xia Lei asked in a trembling voice .

The man didn’t answer Xia Lei’s question . He reached out to the alloy pendant on Xia Lei’s neck with his hand . It seemed like he was observing the pendant .

“Do you want it? You can take it if you want . I’m not your enemy,” said Xia Lei . If he was given a choice to choose between his life and the last capsule, he would definitely choose his life .

However, the man let go of the pendant . He also let go of the hand that was grabbing Xia Lei’s neck . It was truly bizarre .

“You…” Xia Lei was stunned . He thought the man would break his neck, but the man let go of him instead . It was weird and he didn’t know what was going on .

“No wonder, you’re slightly incomplete . ” The man spoke in a cold, husky and low voice . It didn’t sound like a human .

Much to Xia Lei’s horror, the man was speaking in Chinese .

“Who…Who the hell are you?” Xia Lei asked this question while suppressing the horror and fear that crept over him . It was the second time he threw this question to the man .

“The answer lies within you,” said the man .

Xia Lei was stunned . What kind of answer was that?

“I won’t kill you because the answer is in you . ”

“What do you mean? What answer?”

“Everything has a starting point and an end . Perhaps, you may find the end this time,” said the man .

“The end? You mentioned that the answer is in me . Are there any other hints you can give me?” Xia Lei asked carefully .

At this moment, the man suddenly moved towards the stairway . He hissed, “Damn, she’s always making trouble . ”

Xia Lei looked at the security door . However, he saw nothing but the empty staircase behind the security door

“Ah!” Out of nowhere, a shrill rang out in the distance .

It was Salman .

“Something happened in the lab?” Xia Lei got up from the floor immediately .

“If you don’t give me the answer in three years, I’ll kill you,” said the man .

“Who the hell are you?” Xia Lei was getting worked up . It was equivalent to giving him a three-year suspended sentence of execution without a commutation .

“I mean no harm . ”

Xia Lei smiled . “How can a man who threatened to kill me mean no harm?”

“You’ll understand one day . ”

“Who the hell are you? What on earth are you up to?” Xia Lei’s emotions were out of control .

“You have to be careful . You aren’t as smart as I thought,” said the man .

If he wasn’t the definition of smart, who was?

Before Xia Lei could sort out his thoughts, the man suddenly moved towards the edge and jumped off the roof . Xia Lei hurriedly ran towards the edge of the roof and looked down . He saw the man break into the thirtieth floor, the floor in which the laboratory was situated . The glass of that floor was shattered as he went into the floor as if the glass was as fragile as the tofu .

“What is he doing? Is he planning to stop Zhu Xuanyue?” Xia Lei started to rush towards the security door as he thought of this .

He only spent ten seconds unlocking the security door with the password . Just when he prepared to rush towards the laboratory, he heard an explosion from downstairs . The blast swept him down the stairs with splinters of glass, metal and wood trailing behind him .

The man’s target for tonight wasn’t him . It was Zhu Xuanyue!

“Ning Jing…” At the moment of the explosion, the person that popped into his mind was not Zhu Xuanyue or Gu Kewen . It was the quiet and pitiful woman, Ning Jing .

Ka-boom!

Another explosion happened, which shook the whole building .

The sky turned red as the fire broke out .

As weirdly as it seemed, the whole area regained its power supply . The explosion seemed to trigger the electrical supply of the whole region .
