Chapter 1260: Chapter 1245: Mad Scientist

Of course, this doesn’t mean Song Yun likes her. If you have to say why, it’s like when a girl sees a handsome guy. I may not like you, but your handsomeness makes it hard for me to control my adrenaline.

That’s how it is.

Song Yun, the thick-skinned guy, didn’t answer her question, nor did he continue to say anything else. He just walked over to a nearby table, placed his big backpack on it, pulled up a chair, sat behind the table, and stared straight at the beautiful woman.

The beautiful woman had no objection to Song Yun’s behavior.

The time passed strangely.

Ten minutes later.

The beautiful woman put down her notebook, took out a set of new-looking beakers and alcohol lamps from under the table, and started fiddling with them.

Bits and pieces of liquids were poured into the beakers by the beautiful woman, followed by various heating and chemical reactions.

Song Yun watched the woman’s serious expression and the bubbling liquids in front of her, wondering if those liquids were like sulfuric acid. If they were to explode any moment, should he play the hero and save the beauty? But then he thought about how she ignored what just happened, suggesting she might be a cold and selfish person, and he gave up the idea of saving the beauty.

A beautiful woman is nice, but she should be someone with character, quality, and manners.

At that moment.

The bubbling liquids in front of the beautiful woman seemed to have heard Song Yun’s thoughts and started boiling more vigorously.

Pop, pop, pop.

One by one bubbles burst, and smoke quickly emerged from the bottle.

The woman frowned slightly, but showed no panic, suggesting the liquid in the beaker wasn’t as corrosive as sulfuric acid.

The woman added some powder and other things into the bottle. The liquid inside was originally blue, but as soon as the powders were added, it turned red, and immediately stopped boiling.

The woman’s face showed a hint of joy, but before she could savor it for a few more seconds, the beaker made a crisp cracking sound.

With Song Yun’s keen eyesight, he clearly saw a crack appear on the beaker.

“Oh? It’s gonna break!” Song Yun’s eyes lit up and he thought gleefully.

“Quick, bring me the calcium oxide!”

The woman suddenly shouted.

Song Yun was startled for a moment, then looked around, pointed at himself, and said, “Are you talking to me?”

“Quickly, it’s in the cabinet right behind you.”

The woman shouted, her voice a little urgent.

Song Yun chuckled, propped his head with one hand, looked at the woman, and said, “Sorry, that’s too far for me. Walking there would tire me out.”

“You!”

The woman glared at him, just about to get it herself, but then.

Boom!!!

A loud explosion.

For some reason, the beaker just exploded, and the red liquid splashed into the air with the explosion.

In an instant, Song Yun ducked behind the table.

A slightly pungent smell reached his nose.

“Wow, it really is acidic.” Song Yun remarked, slowly peeking out to look at the explosion site.

The beautiful woman who was standing by the lab bench had vanished!

Song Yun froze, then abruptly became alert.

Instinctively, he threw a punch to the side.

“Huh!”

An astonished voice came from nearby.

Song Yun quickly retracted nine-tenths of his force.

Slap.

A slender, delicate hand grabbed Song Yun’s hand.

“Your reaction speed is impressive.”

The woman’s voice sounded a bit ethereal. Song Yun kept a straight face, letting the woman hold his fist, and said, “You’re pretty fast at running away too.”

“Who are you?”

The woman seemed to have a habit of ignoring people’s words. The hand holding Song Yun’s fist squeezed slightly.

Crack, crack.

Song Yun’s bones were tightly gripped, making cracking sounds.

Song Yun’s expression didn’t change, but he was shocked inside. How could this woman’s grip be so strong?

Although Song Yun had withdrawn nine-tenths of his power, this woman’s strength was at least a fifth of his full strength.

Even though a fifth seems like little, what kind of strength does Song Yun possess? Ranked thirtieth on the War God List. Even though others hadn’t acknowledged it, Song Yun had taken down Zhou Jin, who truly was thirtieth on the War God List. With strength like Song Yun’s, if an ordinary person could reach even one-tenth of Song Yun’s power, that would already be considered very strong. Yet this woman possessed a fifth of Song Yun’s strength, and by the looks of it, she wasn’t using her full power. A simple analysis suggested that her strength was at least that of someone on the Dragon List. And given that this woman instantly appeared by his side without him noticing until she got so close, this also showed her speed and ability to hide her presence were impressive.

Such capabilities wouldn’t surprise Song Yun in his line of work; he’d met many formidable people, but encountering someone like this in a lab setting seemed much too simple for a conspiracy theorist like Song Yun to believe.

Simply put, Song Yun didn’t really believe in coincidences.

He believed that everything in the world had a cause and could be traced.

“You’re hurting me, beautiful!”

This time Song Yun had come to SH intending to be low-key as much as possible. Although he could easily break free, he wasn’t in a hurry because the woman’s palm was a bit large but soft and tender, and being held this way was quite comfortable.

“Who are you?”

The woman wore a slightly curious expression, saying, “I rarely ask a fourth time.”

“Well, I want to ask who you are!”

Song Yun frowned, saying, “First you nearly blew me up, and now you’re holding my hand. I say, beautiful, even though I have a high tolerance for beautiful women, don’t always challenge my psychological limits.”

“Are you here looking for someone?”

The woman raised her eyebrows, ignoring Song Yun’s words again.

“Of course, I’m looking for someone; otherwise, what would I be doing in a place that’s constantly life-threatening? Wasting time?” Song Yun grumbled, trying to pull back his hand. However, the woman’s grip was quite firm, and since Song Yun wasn’t using much force, he couldn’t break free instantly.

“Oh!” The woman nodded, finally acknowledging Song Yun’s words, but after an “oh,” she quickly frowned and fell into some kind of contemplation, once again ignoring Song Yun entirely.

Could you not do this?

Song Yun looked helplessly at this woman who kept ignoring him. If he were back in Sunan, he might show her who’s boss, but here and now… it’s best to keep a low profile.
