Compared to Xin Yi and Song Bunan who were rushing aimlessly in the underground maze to find the exit, Shui Su and Xiao Mei were having a smooth sailing. As Shui Su guessed, the goal of the person who sneaked into the team was to split them into two groups, one to fall into the trap, and the other to be taken away and headed straight to Gu Family Old Residence. At the moment, Shui Su, Xiao Mei and other Jiang Family in the team were trapped in the van with bags over their heads, squeezed together in the small space, feeling the shaking of the van. Xiao Mei was squeezed uncomfortably, and tried to find a comfortable position by twisting and turning. In the middle, he made too much noise and was scolded by the Inside Man. He didn't say anything and didn't pay attention, but just made a big note of this person in his heart. The night before departure, Shui Su had carefully considered all the unexpected events that would be encountered in today's operation, told him in detail, and told him how to deal with them. However, according to the plan, he was supposed to be in the same team with Xin Yi, checking the underground conditions of the hospital while assisting other teams. With Bunan's skills and Shui Su's abilities, it would be the best option for them to lead the team to Gu Family Old Residence. Now that they are acting separately, how should Bunan and Xin Yi find their traces after they come out of the underground? How did Shui Su and Bunan discuss it? He didn't have the opportunity to ask Shui Su relevant questions along the way, but the person who squeezed behind him as a cushion obviously noticed his doubts and wrote slowly on his back with his fingers: Don't worry, there are arrangements. Song Bunan was tired, really tired. He took out all the food and water from his bag and spread them on the table, carefully selecting the ones that would allow him to recover some mental strength the fastest, intending to suffocate them all in one go. Xin Yi, who was still searching for the exit in the room marked "Dean's Office", did not notice the man's movements. He used his knuckles to carefully knock on each tile in an attempt to find the place where the mechanism was hidden. This was the last office in the entire building, and it was also the most exquisitely decorated one. It did not look like a laboratory at all. It was decorated gorgeously and even had a big bed. Song Bunan said that this room was definitely the gathering point of all the mechanisms. Xin Yi also had this idea, but the man who collapsed on the bed did not want to move at all, so the task of finding the thing fell on Xin Yi alone. "I feel that the trigger point of the mechanism they set must be something obvious and common." Song Bunan acted as the commander, sitting on the bed and chewing food and said, "This room is square without any partitions, and almost all the things needed for life are placed inside. There is no equipment like a toilet around, which means that he will definitely not stay here for a long time. At least he will leave to solve the problem..." Song Bunan paused and waited for Xin Yi to follow up. Looking back, the man had already tilted his head back and poured all the energy supplements that needed to be dissolved into his mouth. Powder supplements have a certain foaming effect, similar to effervescent tablets. If they are eaten directly and stick to the throat, there will be a risk of suffocation. Xin Yi was shocked by the magical operations that this man performed from time to time and broke into a cold sweat. He rushed over to pry open Bunan's mouth to check the situation. The person whose face was suddenly pinched was full of confusion, and asked vaguely why you suddenly arrested someone. "Are you crazy?" Xin Yi was furious. "This thing is extremely dangerous when eaten dry. As a veteran, you don't even know this? Do you feel difficulty breathing now? Drink more water quickly. It's best to induce vomiting." 0
 
 
The other party clearly understood why he had reacted so violently. Blinking, they gestured for him to let go first. Once regaining control of his facial expression, he flashed his signature smile and took several large gulps of water before speaking, a bit of the white supplement powder still clinging to the corner of his mouth. 0
 
“Don’t worry, I’ve been doing this for a while; it’s very safe. This supplement is different from those on the market; it’s made by the Jiang Family themselves and is quite different from effervescent tablets. Taking it dry and then drinking water can quickly replenish energy, much faster than those outside. Want to try a pack? It tastes just like plum candy.” 0
 
His racing heart finally calmed down, filled with helplessness and anger. However, seeing Song Bunan's brilliant eyes and smile made him feel that perhaps he had overreacted without first clarifying the situation. He politely declined the offer and seriously told the other person that such methods should not be used again; it was safer to dissolve it in water before drinking. 0
 
“Got it!” The playful one grinned widely, but his gaze quickly shifted elsewhere. As his eyes locked onto something, Xin Yi noticed that Song Bunan's expression became serious, a hint of confusion crossing his brow, and his slightly pursed lips indicated he was deep in thought. 0
 
Following Song Bunan's line of sight, Xin Yi saw a framed painting. The dark frame encased a white canvas depicting a water lily pond. He had checked around the painting earlier and found no signs of any mechanisms. 0
 
But from their angle now, the painting seemed to shimmer with tiny points of light that changed with slight movements; however, anything beyond a certain range was completely obscured. 0
 
Song Bunan sat on the bed like an owl, twisting his head this way and that, adjusting his distance until he finally contorted himself into a strange position and slowly moved closer to the painting. 0
 
“There are hidden patterns in this painting, and they should form a coherent design,” he remarked. 0
 
Xin Yi took down the painting while Song Bunan expertly removed it from its frame, almost pressing his face against it to observe closely. Xin Yi was asked to shine a light on it; holding up a flashlight, he adjusted the angle and brightness as he watched Song Bunan wriggle like a worm, energetically trying to decipher the patterns on the surface. 0
 
“It’s a map,” Song Bunan concluded. “It’s a map of this place, but the angle is too tricky; I can’t see it all. The texture feels very shallow; there must be some way to make it clearer. If they want to see it, what tools or methods would they use...?” 0
 
The person on the ground seemed to be mumbling to himself or perhaps posing questions to him. Xin Yi put away the flashlight and helped him up, suggesting they take it to that machine capable of producing different lights for further examination. 0
 
That room was one they had entered while searching for an exit earlier; it contained only one machine and an old-looking table with several pairs of special glasses and gloves laid out on top. They circled around the machine twice; Xin Yi felt a sense of familiarity and suddenly recalled that they had seen this machine in Mighty Falcon as well. 0
 
 
"It can produce many different colors of light, usually used for viewing things made through special means. In the Mighty Falcon, we use it to check mission targets or for internal communications," Song Bunan said, nodding in understanding after Xin Yi explained the device to him. He agreed that it was indeed a useful tool. 0
 
The two of them carefully carried the canvas to the machine and taped it to the wall. After donning their gear, Song Bunan excitedly declared that he would operate the machine to change the colors. He rushed to the control panel and, without hesitation, pressed one of the protruding buttons before Xin Yi could even stop him. 0
 
The machine emitted a series of clicking sounds as colorful beams of light flowed across its surface, clearly moving upward and slowly gathering at the top. When the entire machine became a dazzling spectacle, a round sphere covered in holes rose from the top. 0
 
Light beams shot out from the sphere, shifting through various colors and creating a unique rhythmic motion that filled the room with joy. While Xin Yi was still contemplating what parameters needed adjustment to solve an issue, he heard Song Bunan's voice filled with excitement as he exclaimed: 0
 
"This lab has quite an atmosphere! With this disco ball here, is it for dancing?" 0
