Chapter 600

Fuller called the place a laboratory, but there were only a few large tables in the room covered with

various models and wires.

Melanie concentrated on the progress bar, trying her best to ignore Eugene’s

presence.

However, she could not completely block him out. The sound of Eugene flipping some paper from time

to time echoed in her ears exceptionally clearly.

Melanie looked at the progress bar on the computer. It was only one–third of the way through.

Just as she was about to get up and take a break, she suddenly heard a sound outside the door.

The door to the laboratory was closed, and the entire room was sealed off because they were worried

that external factors would affect the various models inside.

Therefore, the sound outside the door was especially conspicuous.

Melanie instantly looked up in the direction of the door, only to hear Eugene say in his hoarse and deep

voice. “Don’t move. I’ll go take a look.”

Inexplicably, Melanie was suddenly reminded of that afternoon when she felt as if someone was

watching her from behind.

For some reason, she subconsciously wanted to remind Eugene not to go. However, before Eugene

could reach the door, the entire laboratory suddenly turned dark!

Melanie’s night–blindness instantly overwhelmed her, and her vision went dark.

Her heart began to race. She stood rooted to the ground, not daring to move.

The next second, a beam of light lit up a corner of the room not far away. Eugene held

up his phone as he walked toward her. “I think the circuit tripped.”

“Why would it trip?” A lab like this should take utmost care with their hardware. Regardless, the light

brought Melanie instant relief. Like Eugene, she turned on the flashlight function on her phone and

placed it on the table.

Eugene took a few steps over and stopped beside her.

The scent of pine on his body somehow steadied Melanie’s uneasy nerves. She looked at Eugene and

could not help herself from asking, “You heard the noise just now too, didn’t you?”

Eugene’s eyebrows twitched. “Maybe it’s just the wind.”

Melanie did not say anything. She had a feeling that something was fishy.

“What are you worried about?” Eugene chuckled. He knocked on the table and said indifferently, “Fuller

and the others are next door.”

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door. Immediately after, Eugene’s phone

rang. The moment it was picked up, Eric’s loud voice boomed across the speakers. “What are you two

doing?! Why did you pull the power switch?”

Eugene said, “We didn’t touch the switch.”

“If it wasn’t you guys, then who-?” Eric scratched his head. “Geez, what should we do now? The doors

of the laboratory are all electronically locked. How are we supposed to open the door now?”

Eugene and Melanie looked at each other, their expressions slowly turning serious. “The switch can’t

be turned on again?”

“Of course not! It’s completed burned!”

Melanie’s eyebrows slowly drew together. She looked at Eugene, her hand trembling involuntarily on

the table.

Eugene’s gaze fell on her hand and hardened as he asked Eric, “Is there any way to open the door

now?”

“What else can we do? We’ll call the locksmith-

After Eugene hung up the phone, he looked at Melanie again and saw that she

was very nervous.

However, she did not realize that she was trembling. She still stood upright as if she was calm and

composed.

Even so, there was no way she would not feel panicked when total darkness was just seconds away at

any time. It was the curse of her terrible night–blindness.

Eugene paused. He then took off his jacket and tossed it into Melanie’s arms. Put it on if you’re cold.”

After that, he paused for a moment before saying, “If you’re afraid, call out to me.
