Chapter 058 New Record
Su Ming felt that Xia Xiaoyu originally wanted to fight, but the fear completely broke down her defenses, leaving her without even the courage to resist.
Su Ming sighed: "Xiao Yu, that's enough, go back, leave the rest to me!"
"No -! I won't let you go down! I won't let you go down -!" Xia Xiaoyu cried out at the top of her lungs, her emotions completely breaking down.
Su Ming didn't know how to comfort the other party. Xia Xiaoyu's condition was different from Flora's. Although Flora couldn't move forward, she didn't stop him from going down.
But Xia Xiaoyu didn't even let him go downstairs.
"Calm down! Calm down!"
"How can you ask me to calm down? I won't let you go!"
"Think about it, Alice is still down there, shouldn't we go down and save her?" Su Ming stroked Xia Xiaoyu's hair and comforted her softly.
Xia Xiaoyu stopped crying. She stared at Su Ming blankly, gritted her teeth and nodded.
"Then I have to go down, right?"
"There...there is a monster!" Xia Xiaoyu squeezed out these words from between her teeth.
"Believe me, I can handle it! You forgot that I also handled the stalker by myself at the subway station... Similarly, I can handle it now!"
Xia Xiaoyu stared at Su Ming's eyes for a long time...Finally, she slowly loosened her hands.
"You have to bring Alice back." Xia Xiaoyu said in a hoarse voice.
Su Ming nodded vigorously, asked the other party to take care of him and go upstairs, then turned and walked into the darkness.
The road afterwards was no different from before. He walked down many meters and still did not see the monster.
Su Ming turned around and wanted to go back to reassure Xia Xiaoyu, but after walking back for a while, he did not find Xia Xiaoyu.
Only then did he remember that he couldn't go back, because he had now reached a level deeper than Xia Xiaoyu.
"It seems that if I don't reach the limit of fear on this staircase, I will never be able to return to the ground." Su Ming said to himself.
…
In the observation room of the Investigation Bureau, everyone waited with bated breath.
Su Ming’s current depth in the stairs has reached 301 meters!
The odds had been closed long ago, and ninety-nine percent of the people who had placed bets had lost their capital. The final winner seemed to have been locked in on Sylvie. If Sylvie was the only winner in the end, she would receive a total bonus of one million.
As for the other gamblers who lost... they don't care about the capital anymore. The capital has become insignificant in the face of Su Ming's achievements. Everyone is looking forward to Su Ming's limit, and they are waiting for the birth of a new record.
As an S-level mutant who has also broken through the 300-meter depth, will Su Ming become the second Ye Xing?
Su Ming is very strong, his ability is S-level, and he is not as reckless and impulsive as Ye Xing. He is more stable and controllable than Ye Xing.
Fang Ling, who was sitting in front of the operating table, swallowed his saliva and glanced at the corner of the screen, which recorded the depth of fear when Su Ming asked the question just now. The depth Su Ming was at just now was 300 meters.
To be honest, he was very hesitant about whether to answer Su Ming, but in the end he chose to remain silent.
Zhang Tianxiao stared straight at Su Ming on the screen. Although his eyes were still distracted, it was obvious that he was much more serious than usual.
This newcomer was so unusual that he felt a little uneasy.
So Zhang Tianxiao asked, "Did Ye Xing show any symptoms when he was 300 meters away?"
"I remember that Ye Xing showed symptoms when he was at 210 meters. After the symptoms appeared, he rushed down all the way and did not stop until he reached 330 meters." Fang Ling said thoughtfully, and then smiled.
No matter how many times I think of Ye Xing, I always think he is an interesting person. I am afraid that no one in the future will be like Ye Xing, who, after being scared away, would go back halfway and then be scared again.
"Su Ming hasn't had any hallucinations yet. Does that mean his limit is 400 meters?" Zhang Tianxiao said.
Fang Ling shook his head.
Zhang Tianxiao: "Impossible?"
Fang Ling: "I don't know."
He could only say that Su Ming's current situation was a completely new case that had never occurred before and there was no sample to refer to. If judged based on past experience, Su Ming could break through 400 meters, but no matter how one thought about it, it seemed too outrageous.
Just as he finished speaking, there was a bang, and the door of the observation room behind him was kicked open, and an old man in a white research suit walked in.
"What are you all doing here? Have you finished the experiment? Have you finished the analysis? Have you finished the data?" The old man started to curse as soon as he entered the room.
Everyone's eyes were on the old man, with fear in their eyes.
He is the head of the Analysis Department, Yang Dong.
It is said that this old man was also a ruthless man when he was young, and was an A-level operator whose combat power was comparable to that of an A-level specialist.
Under everyone's fearful gaze, Yang Dong frowned, rubbed his nose, and cursed: "Eating spicy hot pot in the observation room! Who started it?"
"Zhang, Minister Zhang and Minister Sylvie are here too."
"If Minister Zhang and Minister Xi Wei want to see it, it's their business! If they can't complete their work, the deputy director will tell them!
What about you? Huh? What are you bastards doing here? You think you are the ministers ! "
Someone raised the question cautiously and was immediately scolded by Yang Dong.
"Minister, we also need to relax occasionally." When everyone was silent, Fang Ling was the first to speak out.
"Fang Ling? Is this your doing? What are you guys doing here? Organize everyone to watch a movie!" Yang Dong's tone suddenly softened a lot. He has always been quite indulgent towards Fang Ling, the young genius.
"It's not our fault. The second Night Star has appeared." Fang Ling said with a smile, a hint of amusement in his tone.
Hearing this, Yang Dong's expression changed.
He looked up at the big screen, his eyes fell on the data in the corner, which showed the depth Su Ming was at at the moment - 311 meters!
He stared at the data in silence for a while, then asked in a deep voice: "What's this kid's name?"
"Su Ming."
Yang Dong pushed up the thick glasses on his nose, leaned over to the main console and stared at the screen for a long while, muttering, "He doesn't seem to be hallucinating yet."
"At the moment, it seems to be the case," Fang Ling said.
Yang Dong kicked the researcher next to him and ordered, "Bring me a stool."
Fang Ling smiled. He knew this would happen. Any outstanding scientist would not miss such a great research moment.
Observing a person of Su Ming's level undergoing a test in real time is completely different from watching a video recording.
Because in real-time testing, you can ask Su Ming questions temporarily to obtain redundant data, but if you just watch the video, you can only passively receive the existing data.
If he guessed correctly, Minister Yang Dong would definitely interfere with Su Ming's testing progress later.
On the other hand, when all the scientific researchers present focused their attention on Su Ming, Sylvie had already thought about longer-term things.
