Chapter 459 Omens

Lin Xiyue nodded vigorously, expressing her strong approval of Ling Luo's design.

"Yes, it is indeed very cute! However, I feel that the style of this standee doesn't quite match the image of your boss, Lingye. Won't he have any objections?"

She then pointed out a minor issue.

As she spoke, she pointed to the chibi-style figure representing Ling Ye, whose face bore a distinct scar.

Lingluo was taken aback by Lin Xiyue's words, then burst into laughter.

"Hahaha, you're right, this really isn't like the boss's style. But I have to admit, this design is really cute, isn't it?"

"Actually, I designed this standee. When I took it to the boss for approval, he was busy with other things and approved it without even looking at it. So, our standee is what it is now, and there's no way to change it."

Linglu then explained.

"Then you must have gone there specifically when he was very busy."

Lin Xiyue raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a sly smile.

"I knew it! Otherwise, why would you have chosen that particular time to go?"

She saw through Lingluo's thoughts and then said.

"Hehe, you really understand me."

Upon hearing this, Ling Luo's face showed a hint of embarrassment, but she quickly regained her composure, a smile appearing on her lips. She winked playfully at Lin Xiyue, seemingly hinting at something, and whispered.

Lin Xiyue understood immediately, and the two exchanged a smile, their laughter revealing a tacit understanding that only they could comprehend.

"Boom boom boom——"

Just then, a sudden knocking sound rang out, the sound being exceptionally clear in the room.

"Who?"

Lingluo's good mood was interrupted by the sudden knocking. She frowned slightly and asked impatiently.

After all, she was having a lively conversation with Lin Xiyue, and this sudden interruption dampened her spirits.

"It's me. Haven't you finished checking yet? It's time to come out, we need to retreat."

Ling Ye's deep, slightly urging voice came from outside the door.

"Huh? Oh, the checkup is finished, I'll be right out."

Upon hearing this voice, Ling Luo's heart tightened, and he quickly responded.

As she spoke, she quickly tidied up the things on the table, preparing to leave.

At that moment, she suddenly remembered that Lin Xiyue had not yet chosen a standee.

"Xiyue, have you made your choice? You can take two, it's a special privilege I'm giving you."

So she turned to look at Lin Xiyue and asked softly.

Lin Xiyue smiled slightly, nodded, and then stood up.

In her hand were the two standees she had seen at the beginning, one for Ling Luo's team and the other for the medical department.

"Okay, I've made my choices. I'll take one from your team, and then one from the medical department that we saw at the beginning."

Lin Xiyue's voice was clear and firm.

Looking at the standee in Lin Xiyue's hand, Ling Luo felt a warm current well up in her heart.

"Okay. Let's go out together then."

She said with a smile.

With that, Lingluo got up and walked towards the door first.

The door was slowly pushed open, and with a creak, sunlight shone in like a golden arrow, stinging Lin Xiyue's eyes.

She couldn't help but squint to adjust to the sudden brightness.

As her vision gradually cleared, the first thing she saw was the silhouette of a tall person.

Because of the backlighting, the person's face was shrouded in shadow, making it impossible for Lin Xiyue to see his features clearly.

"Baby, come here."

The figure spoke in a deep, gentle voice, like a warm light emanating from the darkness.

A familiar feeling welled up in Lin Xiyue's heart, and she immediately recognized that it was Moros's voice.

Moros stood at the door, extending a hand to gesture for Lin Xiyue to come to his side.

His arms looked exceptionally long in the sunlight, beckoning to her.

Without hesitation, Lin Xiyue took a step forward and slowly walked towards Meros.

Her heart was racing. For some reason, she felt a little unfamiliar with the scene, as if none of it was real.

However, just as she was about to reach Meros, her pupils suddenly contracted.

Her gaze passed through Meros, across space, and landed far behind him on the thin door that had been revealed earlier.

The door appeared somewhat ethereal under the sunlight, as if it were an entrance to another world.

A strong sense of unease welled up in Lin Xiyue's heart; she felt as if she had seen something she shouldn't have seen.

Beside the gate stood several people dressed in heavy protective suits, their movements unusually cautious, as if they were approaching something extremely dangerous.

Lin Xiyue stared intently at the patterns on their protective suits and immediately realized that these people must be from the Psionic Center.

Undoubtedly, their purpose in this trip was to take samples from the portal from which the thin material was transmitted.

Lin Xiyue unconsciously focused her attention and looked at the door as well.

However, in the instant she was thinking, something unexpected happened.

Suddenly, a huge beam of light shot out from the door like lightning, so bright that it was impossible to look directly at it.

The beam of light seemed to possess its own intelligence, hurtling straight toward Lin Xiyue's location at such a speed that it seemed to pierce her eyes.

Even more terrifying, those staff members who were unfortunate enough to block the beam of light experienced their bodies being torn apart by a powerful force the instant they came into contact with it, instantly collapsing and disintegrating.

Immediately afterwards, their figures vanished completely from this space as if erased, leaving no trace whatsoever.

[Ding, the Opportunity Card (Passive) has been triggered. Please prepare, host.]

PS: The passive effect of the Opportunity Card will automatically activate when the host is about to suffer a fatal attack. The host should be prepared.

When Lin Xiyue saw this line of text, a mechanical voice suddenly rang in her mind, emphasizing it with particular emphasis.

The sound echoed in her mind, causing her brain to go completely blank for a moment.

She had no idea this would happen and was at a loss for what to do.

However, after that brief moment of shock, her instincts kicked in.

She instinctively reached into her bag, where she had placed two cards there just in case.

One of them is an opportunity card that has already been triggered, while the other is Lin Xiyue's only attack card.

Her fingers gripped the two cards tightly, drawing strength from them.
