Thud!
The student fell straight to the ground, causing everyone to take a step back in shock.
It was also at that moment that they realized he was bleeding from the back of his head. Then, in walked a strong, burly man dressed entirely in black, wearing a baseball cap and a black mask.
He was not strong and muscular in the traditional sense, where one had bulging muscles and was big, tall and powerful. Rather, he had a tall, lean figure, but every muscle in his body seemed to be at its peak.
Although you couldnât see what he looked like, there was ferocity and savagery in his eyes.
Nora was sure he was Barbarian from the first moment.
She had met him in the room with the safes at the Bank of New York back then.
Nora held her breath and clenched her fists.
Barbarian had someone on his hands. With a slight push, he ushered Epson into the lab. Epson stared in horror at the studentâs corpse on the floor and swallowed hard.
The rest of the students screamed and retreated in panic.
The four girls hid in the back. In fact, the other two were already hiding under the test bench. They huddled under the table as they trembled in fear.
As Nora watched Barbarian, Oscar pulled her by the arm and hid under the table along with Oscar.
Oscarâs whole body was trembling, his eyes big and horrified. He motioned for Nora to be quiet.
He really remembered to get her to safety at a critical moment like thatâ¦..
Nora formed a good impression of Oscar.
Oscar pulled out his phone, typed on it and showed the screen to Nora: âDonât make noise. Donât be afraid, the police are nearby. Iâm sure they will come to save us.â
Nora: ââ¦â
When she looked up, she saw that although Oscar was clearly terrified, he was still moving affirmatively toward her as if trying to reassure her.
She looked down and peered through the gap under the table.
Epson raised her arms and swallowed saliva. The door to the lab had closed by then. Barbarian was standing in the doorway, his eyes quietly observing everything in the room. He stared at Epson and said slowly, âThe genetic serum.â
His voice was very deep and deep. Also, the man spoke very briefly and concisely. He seemed to be a very reticent man.
Epson was taken aback. He said, âWhat genetic serum? Iâ¦noâ¦â
Barbarian stepped forward abruptly and grabbed his wrist. To the eyes of the others, it looked like he had only exerted a little force, but Epson immediately cried out in pain. By the time Barbarian released him, his hand had already collapsed, his wrist obviously broken.
Epson fell to the ground and writhed in pain. None of the students beside him dared to step forward.
Barbarian spoke again. âTell me everything you know about the gene serum.â
He spoke very slowly, as he had done in America.
Epson gestured and hurried to explain, âI really donât know anything about the gene serum or anything like it. Can you be reasonable? Iâm just an unimportant little professor, how could I possibly know about such important things?â
Barbarian frowned.
His red eyes were full of suspicion.
Nora noticed that Barbarian didnât seem to know what to say, but suddenly turned his head as if he was listening to a voice in his earpiece.
At that moment, Barbarian suddenly understood something. He immediately walked over and asked, âWhich file in the archives is related to the genetic serum?â
Epson wanted to cry. He replied, âI really donât know. All the files in the archives are accessible. If you want to know, I can look them up for youâ¦. But Iâve never heard of the gene serum or whatever youâre talking aboutâ¦â
âYouâre lying!â
Barbarian was very irritated. Just like in America, he would get violent as soon as he didnât get the answer he wanted. He kicked Epson, sending him flying. It wasnât until he crashed into a chair that he finally stopped.
The kick made Epson cough with a mouthful of blood.
âAh!â
The girl squatting at the nearby table screamed in fright, attracting Barbarianâs attention.
Barbarian turned his head and looked over.
The rest of the students gathered around. One boy suddenly said, âAre you the serial killer? Do you know there are thirty of us here! You canât beat us alone! Youâ¦â
Before he could finish, Barbarian suddenly pulled out a silver pistol from his pocket and shot him in the knee.
Bang!
The boy fell to his knees.
With that, the others finally realized how strong he was. Leaving aside his physical strength that could blow one away with a single kick, his gun alone already meant that none of them were a match for him.
Just as they were panicking, Barbarian suddenly looked at Epson again. âAre you sure⦠you donât know anything about the gene serum?â.
Epson was curled up on the floor in pain. Hearing the question, he nodded hurriedly. âI really donât know anything, Iâ¦â
Bang!
Another shot rang out.
Barbarian fired at another student.
The man, whose eyes were blood red, said, âIf you really canât remember, then I can have your memory jogged a bit.â
Epson: â!â
His eyes widened and he shouted angrily, âTheyâre students! They donât know anything! V-come to me if you want something! Donât go after them!â
Barbarian narrowed his eyes slightly. He turned his head to the side again, probably listening to Spaceyâs instructions. The next moment, he raised his gun and pointed it at another student. âAre you going to talk or not?â
Nora, who was hiding under the table, was already clenching her fists.
She was no match for Barbarianâ¦nor was she a cop. However, when she saw Epson, someone who normally had a very bad temper, protecting his students, for some reason, an impetuous feeling suddenly arose in her.
She lowered her gaze and lightly expelled a breath of air.
She was no saint.
She had waited here for Barbarian to find out what his intentions were, and also to get a clear view of his movements, in order to prepare to obtain Dossier No. 004 later.
Now that she had discovered that Barbarian only knew that the genetic serum was at Staav University, but knew nothing else, she was relieved.
Actually, she should not act at this time.
In the first place, Barbarian was armed. Not only was he not her opponent in the first place, but he would probably be shot in the head the moment he showed himself.
Secondly, there were over thirty students present. If Barbarian beat or killed them one by one, she calculated that the police would probably come in before it was her turn. With that, she would also be able to get out of the lab safely.
In fact, if she kept out of sight, Barbarian might not even know she was hereâ¦let alone fight her over File No. 004. He could quietly leave with the antidote.
Either way, no matter how you looked at it, this was the best course of action.
But when she saw Barbarian point his gun at a student again, Nora narrowed her eyes.
