Can't worry about that much anymore!

I pushed the door open and rushed in without hesitation, hiding quickly under the reception desk.

Next, a flashlight beam illuminated the front desk.

Oh no!

The spot I was hiding in was very obvious. Lin Jia would just need to bend down a little to see me in the dark.

The flashlight beam was getting closer and closer.

But Lin Jia was walking very slowly. She almost tripped several times on the short path.

How could this be?

"I remember now!"

Lin Jia's strange behavior indicated she had undergone genetic modification.

But the current genetic modification technology is still not perfect. Humans who have undergone genetic modification all have flaws.

Her vision is extremely poor in the dark, and she cannot see stationary objects in the dark!

The spot I was hiding in was a blind corner; from any angle, the flashlight's beam wouldn't reach here.

As long as I stayed still and wasn't illuminated, she wouldn't see me.

Thinking of this, I held my breath and tensed my whole body.

Lin Jia's footsteps stopped in front of the desk.

The hair on my entire body stood up.

This was the most tense moment! If Lin Jia just bent her head down, she would see me.

I didn't dare make any movement; my heart was in my throat.

If I was wrong, I would lose my life.

"Come out, I can see you," Lin Jia's voice rang above my head.

She was bluffing!

I held my breath and dared not move at all.

Sure enough, after waiting for a long while, Lin Jia left.

But the danger wasn't over; Lin Jia seemed convinced I was still in the room, and the flashlight beam was sweeping around the room.

I surveyed the room through the gaps.

In the lab, the main door had been blocked by Lin Jia with a table, the only exit being the window on the opposite side.

I remember, outside the window was the city center, even at night it was quite crowded.

As long as I could get there, I'd be safe!

But the window was diagonally opposite to me. To get there, I'd have to cross the entire room under Lin Jia's eyes.

Fortunately, there were many cardboard boxes in the room. As long as I hid behind them, I could avoid Lin Jia's sight.

I made up my mind, crouched down and moved to the first cardboard box when Lin Jia wasn't paying attention.

Just as I reached the box, a beam of the flashlight swept overhead.
