hapter 219 Chapter 219 Doing experiments in a place like this was ironic, but it was a huge boost for Quinlyn. Edward, and the whole team.

Quinlyn said, "Sawyer, I'll pick someone to get us outta here as soon as possible. Can you let the other elders know?" "Sure thing, leave it to me, Sawyer replied, his face lighting up and even his wrinkles smoothing out a bit. Quinlyn walked out of the lab, heading back to her floor. But as soon as the elevator doors opened, white smoke poured in- it was sleep gas.

She covered her mouth and nose and tried to back out and close the doors, but the elevator was frozen. It was hacked.

The whole space was filled with the gas, and it was super strong-even an elephant wouldn't stand a chance. In no time, Quinlyn slumped to the floor and passed out.

When she opened her eyes again, she was in a glass room. She was lying on a wooden plank, holding a gun, and the whole thing was shaking.

"Quinlyn, be careful..." Xena's voice cfrom nearby.

Quinlyn's body was still weak, but she turned her head and saw Xena on the other end of the plank. And below them was empty air.

Quinlyn thought, Thank goodness she's okay. She took a deep breath and felt sstrength returning to her fingers. "Xena, where are we?" Xena's voice choked up. “We're in the groom. Someone stole your experimental data, took your work, and triggered the Hunter's Mechanism." "Hunter's Mechanism?" Quinlyn had never heard of it before.

Xena explained, "Yeah. The person who found you, reported you to the island, and brought you here to work- that's the Hunter. Once you've fulfilled your worth, they get to decide what happens to you. And now they've thrown you in here." Quinlyn glanced over at where Xena was staring and followed her gaze. She saw Warren.

Warren looked much thinner than the last tthey met and his face was pale, probably because he was injured. He sat at one end of the wooden plank, sneering, "You're saying that person is me." He spoke with certainty. "Who else could it be? Didn't you introduce her?" Xena was trembling with fear, her emotions running wild, tears streaming down her face.

Quinlyn didn't care about who was right or wrong. She just asked, "What are the rules of the game?” Xena glanced at the gun in Quinlyn's hand and her voice dropped. "It's up to you to decide." Quinlyn was still puzzled about what she meant when suddenly, the loudspeaker above them crackled to life, playing supbeat gmusic, followed by a man's sinister laugh. "Of course, it's about life and death.

"Quinlyn, you're smart, but you've underestimated the rules of Ideal Land. People like you, once you're no longer u just NPCs in the groom.

"Now, you have one hour to decide who to kill. If truns out and there are still three people alive in this room, the sulfuric acid pool below will start pouring down on you. It'll dissolve you into bones." Quinlyn looked down at the still water below. A rock happened to fall in, and it dissolved in an instant. There was no way are 1/2 08.18 Tnu, IU Apr Chapter 219 100% anyone could survive down there.

"You have no one to blbut yourself. Remember, your friends died because of your mistake." The man's voice faded, and the room fell silent again, but the air was thick with his malevolence.

"Quinlyn, I've been imprisoned until now. They just broughthere. Do you believe me?" Warren broke the silence.

If Warren was telling the truth, then Xena would be lying. Xena immediately countered, "No, Quinlyn. He rushed into the lab and stole all the data. Don't trust him." "The only way to remove all threats and leave here safely is to kill the Hunter. Or you can kill both of us, then you can go." The more Xena spoke, the more convinced she seemed. Her anxiety made her a bit unhinged. "Xena, don't move. We'll figure something out," Quinlyn said, worried that Xena's heightened emotions might make her slip and fall.

Xena insisted, "No, Quinlyn. If the Hunter lets you go, he will die too. So, don't hesitate." Warren sneered, “If you're so eager to die, just do it yourself. I haven't lived enough yet." Warren slowly stood up, finding his balance on the plank. He pointed down, saying, "If you're so keen on self- sacrifice, why not jump down yourself? No need for all this ." "If you don't die, the gwill continue. Even if I have to die, I'm taking you with me," Xena said with determination in her eyes.

"You're crazy," Warren muttered, not bothering to engage with her. He turned to Quinlyn and said, "The Hunter rules do exist, but there's a misunderstanding here. You've noticed it too, right?" Quinlyn nodded. "Yeah, the Hunter could be outside. You two could just be pawns." Xena was taken aback, tears welling up as she realized. "Is that even possible?" "Exactly. Isn't that what most people would think? So I'm curious why you immediately accusedof being the Hunter, like you couldn't wait forto die," Warren said with a cold glance at Xena.

"I just... Quinlyn, I swear, I'm not the Hunter," Xena said, lowering her head in fear.

"Warren, she's just scared because of the gun," Quinlyn said. This was a normal reaction when facing death, and she understood it.

Warren scoffed, "But I can't help feeling she doesn't seem like a good person." "Didn't Harriet deceive you back then too?" Quinlyn reminded him.

"I..." Warren was left speechless.

Harriet was a dark spot in his past.

As a former con artist who made it to who the position of a company's Che chairman, he let his guard down and was fooled by a small-ttrickster.

If Harriet hadn't died early, he would've exacted his revenge. But this humiliation rendered him incapable of rebutting her statement, and he sat back down, frustrated.

Xena kept glancing at the acid pool, still extremely uneasy. "So, what do we do now?" Quinlyn didn't have an immediate answer; she needed to think. Suddenly, she turned and asked, "Xena, did they take the fridge magnets?" Xena looked confused. "I don't remember. It was so chaotic." 2/3 08:18 Thu, 10 Apr Chapter 219 100%

"Well then, they probably haven't," Quinlyn said, standing up and yelling out to the room beyond the glass chamber. "The data you have is flawed. You can't create the true super stem cell serum.

"The precise formulation is only in my memory. Kill the Hunter and let us go; I'll sell the formula to one of you." Quinlyn thought, 'If I can't break the rules, then I'll make snew ones myself. 68 0 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofifl0&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
