LGHTNOVELBOOK Chapter 11: Laboratory №45 (5)
Infinite rollback—how could someone possess such a terrifying ability?
In other words…
If Bai Lian truly had such a skill and had already used it countless times…
Then could his skill affect reality?
No…
Not just reality, but the entire world of anomalies!
Until now, they had never heard of anything from the world of anomalies being able to influence the real world.
They were afraid to think about it because the implications were too horrifying.
It was easier to believe that Bai Lian was simply boasting than to accept that the ability of infinite rollback truly existed.
…Mo Lu frowned but soon relaxed.
A faint smile appeared on her lips, and she parted her pale pink lips to say, “There are too many inconsistencies in your lies, but I’m willing to give you a chance to prove your words.”
“Do you know why I’ve stayed here all this time and haven’t left? If you can name the reason, I might believe everything you’ve said.”
【This question is too simple—her hands and feet are shackled, that’s all.】
【Yeah, and besides the shackles, there’s this glass and two doors outside. Without a key, no one can get out.】
【Hmm… didn’t you notice she said ‘all this time’? A normal person would’ve starved to death long ago.】
【This is the world of anomalies; don’t apply real-world logic here. Maybe this girl is an anomaly too?】
【You’re oversimplifying the question. I think it’s much more complicated, and there might be an unexpected twist.】
【Hey, you’re right, here’s a ‘screenshot of the twist’ (dog emoji).】
【Hahaha, you really know your twists!】
…
After Mo Lu’s words, a hint of mockery flashed in her eyes.
This question was a trap. Only she knew the real reason, and she had never told anyone.
Unless Bai Lian truly had the ability he claimed, there was no way he could answer.
“It’s simple.”
Bai Lian glanced at the lamp above Mo Lu’s head and smiled. “Because you’re afraid of the dark!”
Mo Lu froze, and then her face showed complete disbelief. “You even guessed that?”
This was her secret.
Why had she stayed here all this time and not somewhere else?
Because there was enough light here!
She had been kept in a dark room for too long, and she was deeply afraid of that impenetrable darkness.
She could have endured the darkness if she had never seen the light.
That’s why Mo Lu sat under the lamp.
But how did this man know?
Could he really have guessed?
Or did he truly possess that infinite rollback ability?
At this moment, Mo Lu began to doubt her own reality.
In Bai Lian’s presence, it felt like she had no more secrets, as if she stood completely exposed before him.
This feeling was deeply unsettling…
“Do you believe me now?” Bai Lian spread his hands.
Mo Lu snapped out of her shock, regaining her composure, and looked at him. “Perhaps I can temporarily believe you.”
“Do as you wish. I only need to get you out of here.”
Bai Lian shook his head and waved at her. “Let’s go.”
“Aren’t you going to help me break free from these shackles and open the door? How am I supposed to leave?” Mo Lu shook her shackled hands.
Bai Lian looked at her and smirked. “Aren’t these things just formalities for you?”
Mo Lu froze, then smiled brightly.
Click!
With just a slight pressure, she snapped the steel shackles, and they immediately broke apart.
She walked to the glass door and punched it, sending the door flying!
It was hard to imagine that such terrifying strength was hidden in such a fragile body!
The live audience was stunned by what they saw.
【??????】
【What the… did she just punch through a tempered glass door?】
【Wasn’t the key in those shackles? This is insane!】
【Now I understand what it means for a girl to grow into such a force that even mountains fear her.】
【Haha, is that all? I wouldn’t even flinch at such a punch!】
【But think about it: if such terrifying strength is under the streamer’s control, then he’s simply incredible!】
【I thought I was clever when I tricked my little brother into thinking I had candy, but this… this streamer has outdone everyone!】
…
Seeing this, Bai Lian couldn’t help but sigh.
If only he could be that cool someday.
“Where are we heading?” Mo Lu approached Bai Lian and asked.
“First, we’ll collect the nine research documents and also take the key left by the professor,” Bai Lian replied without hesitation.
These nine documents contained the research results of Laboratory No. 45, all focused on Mo Lu.
Each document was stored on a special data card, and each card held a part of the key to the laboratory’s door.
By collecting all nine cards, along with the key left by the professor, they could open the sealed door of the laboratory!
Of course, it was possible to proceed without the professor’s key—just by collecting all nine documents.
But in that case, the completion rating would be lower.
Bai Lian wasn’t just aiming to complete the mission; with the infinite rollback skill, it would be foolish not to aim for the highest rating.
After leaving the white room, Bai Lian took out a flashlight and handed it to Mo Lu.
“This is for me?”
Mo Lu looked at the flashlight with mild surprise.
“Yep,” Bai Lian nodded and tossed her the flashlight without another word.
Receiving the flashlight, Mo Lu lowered her head, her gaze softening.
They walked in silence: Bai Lian in front, Mo Lu following behind.
Soon, he stopped at one of the doors.
Bai Lian nodded to Mo Lu. “Your turn.”
It seemed she had become a tool…
Mo Lu pursed her lips and punched the door.
Bang!
After a loud crash, the door was gone as if it had never existed.
Bai Lian stepped inside, approached a cabinet, and found a black data card hidden in a secret pocket of a book.
Finding Mo Lu first had been a smart move—this door required a key, but with Mo Lu, one punch was enough to save them the trouble of searching.
Hiding the data card, Bai Lian returned to the corridor.
“Great, let’s keep going!” he said to Mo Lu and continued forward.
But as they approached a fork in the path, something strange suddenly happened.
Whoosh!
A cold gleam flashed in the darkness—the tip of a dagger aimed straight at Bai Lian’s chest!
In an instant, he managed to dodge, skillfully avoiding the attack.
The unexpected maneuver seemed to stun the attacker, throwing them off balance.
In the next second, the attacker, regaining their composure, hastily retreated.
Mo Lu shone the flashlight on them.
Only then could Bai Lian get a clear look at the opponent.
Standing before them was a young man with a “wolf tail” hairstyle, clad in silver armor, holding a dagger and eyeing them warily.
However, upon seeing Mo Lu behind Bai Lian, his expression immediately softened.
This quest allowed for alliances, so it seemed he was just facing two newcomers who posed no threat.
