"Miss Wendi, I hope you will cooperate." Su Chen walked to Wendi's tool cabinet.

It contained various tools for making specimens.

"Are you threatening me?" Wendi's eyes turned cold.

"You can think of it that way." Su Chen picked up a plier and said.

Wendi's lips curled into a sinister smile, "Do you think you've already subdued me? Then you are gravely mistaken."

Gu Niwei'er seemed to remember something, her face suddenly changed dramatically.

She said to Su Chen, "Quick, don't let her talk."

But, it was already too late.

"Intelligent computer, kill these two intruders!" Wendi directly commanded.

Then, Su Chen saw countless black muzzles emerging from the walls.

"Holy crap, high tech!" Su Chen's face changed drastically, and he immediately lunged towards Gu Niwei'er.

Given she's a female scientist, having artificial intelligence wasn't that surprising.

BANG BANG BANG!

Intensive gunfire sounded.

The bullets swarmed towards the two like a swarm of bees.

Su Chen's inner strength hasn't fully recovered, so relying purely on his body, he couldn't possibly stop the bullets.

Gu Niwei'er was even less capable.

Su Chen could only use his body to shield Gu Niwei'er and rush towards the window.

"No!" Gu Niwei'er quickly tried to warn Su Chen, seeing him intend to smash through the window.

Unfortunately, it was already too late.

Moreover, if they didn't jump out of the window,

Su Chen was about to be riddled with bullets.

In fact, within just that moment, Su Chen had already been shot more than ten times.

CRASH!

Su Chen, holding Gu Niwei'er, smashed through the glass and fell from the building.

When Su Chen's body shattered the glass,

his entire being felt unwell.

Because he realized, they were not on the first floor.

Their bodies were rapidly descending,

like bungee jumping.

"Forgot to tell you, her apartment is on the 80th floor..." Gu Niwei'er's panicked voice came from the side.

Su Chen: "..."

80th floor.

That's at least several hundred meters high.

In their current state, they were bound to die if they fell.

If Gu Niwei'er could use her superpower, she could easily resolve the current crisis.

But due to the suppressant, Gu Niwei'er's superpower couldn't be activated.

Su Chen's inner strength had only slightly recovered.

But that tiny bit of inner strength,

was far from sufficient to counteract the impact of their fall.

What to do?

Were they going to be smashed to death?

"Su Chen, are we... about to die?" Gu Niwei'er's body trembled violently.

In fact, she didn't need to ask Su Chen; she already knew.

Dropping from several hundred meters, they would surely be smashed to a pulp...

"Julia, marry me! I promise to love you for a lifetime!"

At approximately the fifth floor level,

a hot air balloon was floating.

A man standing on it, holding flowers, was confessing his love to a girl on the fifth floor.

"Say yes, say yes!"

The crowd below was watching.

The crowd above was watching too.

The girl standing on the balcony was almost crying with happiness.

Flowers, hot air balloon, a three-carat diamond ring.

There was no reason to refuse.

The girl excitedly said, "I agree to marry..."

Just when a beautiful relationship was about to be made,

Suddenly, two people fell from the sky and crashed into the hot air balloon.

The hot air balloon immediately plummeted towards the ground.

"Luke!" The happiness on the girl's face turned to horror.

BANG!

The hot air balloon crashed hard onto the ground.

"We... actually survived!" A few seconds later, Gu Niwei'er climbed up from the ground.

The two of them had crashed into the hot air balloon.

The hot air balloon had acted as a buffer.

Gu Niwei'er only suffered minor injuries.

"Cough cough!"

Su Chen coughed up a mouthful of blood.

Even though the hot air balloon cushioned the impact,

the speed was still very fast.

He was on the lower side, so he got somewhat injured.

But to Su Chen,

it was not a big deal.

After all, he had Black Stone.

Even if half his body was gone, he could survive.

Let alone just sustaining some internal injuries.

Two hours later, Gu Niwei'er finally regained her superpower.

She brought Su Chen back to her castle.

"Su Chen, I'm sorry, I wanted to help you, but I didn't expect..." A look of guilt crossed Gu Niwei'er's face.

This time, not only did they fail to find a way to lift Medusa's curse, both of them almost died.

The most crucial thing was,

Medusa's head ended up in Wendi's hands instead.

"It's not your fault." Su Chen comforted.

Indeed, it wasn't Gu Niwei'er's fault.

Who knew her best friend turned out to be interested in women?

To such an extent that it turned into hatred and sought to kill them both.

"What do we do next?" Gu Niwei'er looked at Su Chen.

"We must go back and retrieve Medusa's head." Su Chen said.

Gu Niwei'er nodded, "Okay, I'll go get it now."

But Su Chen stopped her.

Are you kidding, it's a dark female scientist.

By now she must know that the two are still alive.

She would also guess they would go back for Medusa's head.

She would definitely set a trap in advance.

If Gu Niwei'er instantly teleports there,

who knows what danger awaited her?

"Then what do we do? We can't just let it go, right?" Gu Niwei'er frowned.

She felt very guilty.

After all, if she hadn't taken Su Chen to find Wendi, Su Chen wouldn't have lost Medusa's head.

"Wait!" Su Chen said just one word.

Although Wendi has some research on Medusa's head,

she doesn't know the box holds Medusa's head.

If she opens the box and then opens the black cloth, accidentally seeing Medusa's face,

she would be petrified by Medusa's curse!

So, Su Chen planned to wait a while before going back.

Su Chen's guess was correct.

Wendi had indeed set up a trap waiting for Gu Niwei'er to come.

At the same time, she also discovered the box containing Medusa's head.

However, Su Chen underestimated Wendi.

Wendi is a scientist.

Her work is always very meticulous.

She didn't open the box directly.

Instead, she sent the box to her bombproof research room, then used her artificial intelligence to open the box!

When the box was opened, Wendi was stunned.

"This, this is Medusa's head!"

Wendi swallowed.

She is a history professor,

especially interested in Western ancient mythology.

She happened to have researched legends about Medusa.

The legend is that anyone who sees Medusa's eyes would be petrified.

Fortunately, she didn't open the box directly.

Otherwise, she would have become a statue by now.

Of course, that's only if the legend is true.
