Chapter 345 - 345: The Improved Version Of The Knockout Powder

MO Ruyue went into the laboratory as usual and came out after the experiment. Then, she began the next step.

She was humming a little tune, and there were papers with words on them all around her feet. There was still a thick stack on the table. This time, she began to nail the papers one by one on the cabinet, bed, wall, and even jumped up to the beam of the room. She even pasted them all over the ceiling.

The people in charge of surveillance were still confused and didn’t know what she was doing. It was only when their observation holes were covered one by one that they suddenly realized.

“Could it be… He already found out?”

“I don’t think so. These holes are extremely well hidden. Even if we were to search for them, I’m afraid we wouldn’t be able to find them in a short time.

“That’s right. From the moment he entered the room, he only glanced around. The rest of the time, we watched him closely. Other than eating and writing, he didn’t have time to look at anything else.

“Or perhaps… He already knew that there might be some, but he didn’t know where exactly, so he simply covered them up.”

Everyone was talking at once, but the last person’s words were more reasonable and received unanimous approval.

“If that’s the case, how could he not have thought of the problem with the food and just ate it?”

“Maybe he has the antidote, so he’s not afraid…”

The person who replied felt that it didn’t make sense.

They knew very well what kind of poison they had put in “his” meals. Even if there was a panacea that could cure hundreds of poisons in the world, with “him” being poisoned in every way, there was no cure.

Everyone thought that the man was too smart for “his” own good and shot “himself” in the foot.

Now that the observation hole was sealed, the situation inside was unknown. However, at least they knew that the person was definitely poisoned, which was already half done for them.

“Boss said that we’ll explore again tonight. If we succeed, we’ll send him to the west directly and not leave any trouble behind.”

As soon as one of them finished speaking, the person beside him blurted out, “What if it doesn’t work?”

If it didn’t work…

Everyone felt a headache when they heard this.

No, no, no!

Jinx!

The person who spoke quickly was glared at by his companions, and even he wanted to give himself a slap.

Without the detection hole, the situation in the room went out of control once again. The blood tower assassins rearranged their deployment again and continued to attack from both the window and the door. Although it was useless, it was better than doing nothing.

MO Ruyue heard the commotion outside and laughed to herself.

A single prank wouldn’t scare them out of their wits, but if she could make them suspicious from time to time, then she would have achieved her goal.

As night fell, the entire Lin City was once again enveloped in the cold night. The waiter of the restaurant brought over hot water and politely asked MO Ruyue if “he” needed any other services. His eyes kept glancing at “his” face, probably to observe “his” reaction after being poisoned.

MO Ruyue had long used the spirit spring water to detoxify herself. Any reaction she showed now was mimicked by her after the poisoning experiment on the white mice.

After the poison in the dinner and in the breakfast was mixed, the damage to the body increased by more than ten times. Although it was not enough to kill people, if they wanted to recover, they would need to go through some conditioning.

Unless it was absolutely necessary, she would not harm her own body just to gain the trust of others.

Seeing blood spots appear at the bottom of MO Ruyue’s eyes, his hands and feet were slightly trembling, and blue stripes appeared in the blood vessels on his neck, a light quickly flashed in the waiter’s eyes.

This kid was really poisoned? This reaction couldn’t be faked. After all, even if he knew that the food might be poisoned, he wouldn’t know what kind of poison it was, let alone what kind of reaction it would have.

After confirming that MO Ruyue had indeed been poisoned, the worker’s attitude changed slightly.

“Guest should rest early. This little one will take his leave.”

As if he was afraid that MO Ruyue would make him stay, he turned around and left after he finished speaking. He no longer dawdled like he did in the morning.

After the waiter left, MO Ruyue heard him make arrangements for the night to be carried out according to the original plan.

“Come on, come on, I was afraid you guys wouldn’t come.”

MO Ruyue was also rubbing her hands, ready to give them another unforgettable lesson. However, this time, it was not a small fight, but a real blood bath.

However, the plan didn’t change quickly. MO Ruyue waited until the ugly hour, but there was still no movement.

The entire restaurant was under her surveillance. If anything happened, MO Ruyue would definitely be the first to notice, so this abnormal silence immediately raised her vigilance.

Could it be that Gu Ying is here?

This was the first thought that flashed through MO Ruyue’s mind.

The assassins of the blood tower had already found out that she was “indeed” poisoned, so they no longer had any scruples when they attacked. If they wanted to take action, they would do it as soon as possible without any delay. However, there was still no movement now, so something must have happened to the blood tower.

There was a hint of blood in the air. MO Ruyue immediately took out a gas mask and put it on, then covered it with a mask.

She was in a disguise right now. If Gu Ying really came and didn’t know it was her, there would be an accident.

Therefore, after MO Ruyue had set up the protection, she quietly walked to the window and gently pried open a gap.

The slightly cold air entered the room, making MO Ruyue’s mind more clear. She pulled down her gas mask a little, and as expected, the fresh air made the fishy and sweet smell in the room more obvious.

That sweet and greasy smell made people want to vomit. MO Ruyue carefully distinguished it again, and her eyes suddenly lit up.

She felt that this smell was very familiar. As expected, it was an improved version of the knockout powder she had developed.

There should be a few ingredients that Gu Ying couldn’t collect, so she found substitutes. However, the effect shouldn’t be too different.

In the past, when the two of them were working together, MO Ruyue specialized in medicinal chemistry, while Gu Ying specialized in physical weapons and it. However, that didn’t mean that they weren’t proficient in each other’s strengths. Thus, Gu Ying also had a certain foundation in medical chemistry, and it was possible for him to succeed in improving medicinal agents.

It was only because the smell was a little weak and had been improved by the drug that she couldn’t tell that it was a knockout powder she had developed.

MO Ruyue immediately entered the medium and used a special potion to wash off the disguise on her face. Then, she restored the bone xun to her original appearance. Finally, she drank a dose of potion and changed her voice back.

When she came out of the space, she had returned to her original appearance.

The entire restaurant was silent, and even the wind outside the window had stopped.

It was almost pitch black in Lin City, and there were only a few lights from afar.

MO Ruyue’s heart was beating like a drum. Although it wasn’t the first time she had seen Gu Ying, the first two times they had met without knowing each other couldn’t be considered good memories.

Time passed by, and every second she waited felt like a century. She really wished she could take out the time adjustment device in the space and speed up the time to the moment she met Gu Ying.

Since she had already used the knockout powder, the assassins of the blood tower must have fallen into their own illusions. No wonder a few of their originally calm and smooth breathing suddenly became heavy, rapid, and even slow for a long time.

Gu Ying would definitely make them suffer mental torture in the illusion, then use physical pain to wake them up, and finally take their lives.

Therefore, he should be watching this restaurant from somewhere and only appear when he felt that he could..
