Chapter 1 Han Xiao Knew About Cerberus in His Previous Life

Han Xiao knew about Cerberus in his previous life.

A high-level researcher of Germination, fanatical about research, he was the one who turned Aurora into Aurora-chan, and thus became known to the players. Cerberus had no morals and would not hesitate to betray any force to save his life. To him, living was the only way to do more experiments, and so-called loyalty was bullshit in his eyes.

If he wanted to threaten him, Han Xiao was very confident that Cerberus would compromise obediently for his life, but only if he was not discovered by others.

However, there was a small problem. The headquarters was huge, and Han Xiao didn't know where Cerberus was at the moment.

At this moment, a player with an ID floating above his head walked by, and Han Xiao's heart moved.

‘There are players in the underground headquarters too. I can use them to try.’

Electer was about to hand in a daily training mission when suddenly a Germination soldier flashed in front of him and stopped him. He looked fierce and evil, but had a kind smile on his face, like a crocodile grinning... It was really because the unlucky guy Han Xiao replaced looked too rough.

Electer's chrysanthemum tightened, and he trembled, "W-what do you want to do?".

Han Xiao smiled amiably twice, but it made Electer feel a chill in his heart. After a pause, he said, "Little brother, I need your help with something." Then he set up an unsigned mission and sent it out, asking to find out the location of Cerberus. He pretended in the mission description that he had an urgent matter to report, and it sounded like the real thing. Because players basically wouldn't doubt the description in the mission introduction, they wouldn't be suspicious at all.

Electer looked surprised. It was the first time he had seen a mission come to his door. The rewards were considerable, and he was immediately tempted. Moreover, finding Cerberus was easy, only possible in the laboratory, without any difficulty.

"Okay, I'll be back soon." Electer went to confirm.

Before long, Han Xiao received the news that Cerberus was checking data on the experimental floor.

Han Xiao's eyes flashed, and he issued another mission to Electer, asking him to get a map of the headquarters' floors. It would be difficult for him to get such a thing himself, but players working here at the headquarters knew it like the back of their hands. Electer didn't suspect anything. He had a map on him and handed it to Han Xiao.

After reading it carefully, Han Xiao nodded secretly, and had a plan for the next step.

The experimental floor occupied a large area. Han Xiao quietly came to the rest station for the experimenters, used the magnetic chain splitting blade to briefly block the camera in the corner, quickly pried open the locker in the changing room to get a few white coats and masks, disguised himself as an experimenter, and then swaggered to the experimental floor.

At this time, Cerberus was in a large laboratory, directing white coats to debug the functions of a new batch of super soldiers, while he was browsing data on the computer. Han Xiao saw that there were many people here, so he pulled up his mask, quietly approached Cerberus, flipped his palm and took out a simple detector, and roughly scanned Cerberus. The detection result was that there were no bugs. This result was within his expectations. Cerberus stayed in the headquarters all year round, and his security awareness was not so strong. He also had no guards around him.

Han Xiao turned his back to Cerberus, pretending to be sorting data on the table, and quietly hooked his finger, and a blade concealed itself along the ground into Cerberus's coat, sticking to his heart.

Cerberus felt a chill in his heart, and hurriedly reached out to touch it. He felt a thin metal foreign object through his clothes, and was shocked. He hurriedly wanted to tear open his collar to see, when a low, subtle voice came to his ear, clearly transmitted to his ear despite the noise around him.

"Quiet, don't move, don't shout, otherwise this blade will cut open your heart. Now, pretend nothing happened, listen to my orders obediently. Disobey, die. Trigger the alarm, die."

Cerberus looked around, everyone looked like an enemy, and he became a frightened bird, and said in a low voice, "Don't be impulsive, what do you want me to do?" For the sake of his life, he didn't dare to resist rashly.

"Leave the laboratory, don't make a sound."

"Okay, okay, don't mess around." Cerberus took a few deep breaths, and said loudly, "You guys continue the experiment, I have something to do."

After saying that, he stepped towards the door. The other experimenters didn't suspect anything. Han Xiao paused and followed behind Cerberus.

The two came to the corridor. Cerberus saw Han Xiao behind him, and knew that this was the person who was holding him hostage. He couldn't help but carefully look at him and said in a low voice, "What else do you want me to do?"

"Take me to the mainframe, don't play tricks. I need your authority. If anything abnormal happens, I can pierce your heart in 0.01 seconds." Han Xiao was concise.

"It won't happen." Cerberus felt the cold metal against his heart, calmed himself down, and stepped forward to lead the way. He was not a warrior, and his life was more important than anything else. He knew he could only compromise, he had no choice, and he didn't want to risk triggering the alarm.

Along the way, they encountered many Germination members. Cerberus behaved naturally, nodding in greeting as usual. Han Xiao followed closely behind, and others thought he was Cerberus's assistant, and no one suspected anything.

Walking into an empty corridor, Cerberus carefully looked at Han Xiao's face, and suddenly said in a low voice, "You've disguised yourself, Zero."

Han Xiao's heart trembled. How could he know my identity?

Cerberus said to himself, "In order to catch you, the leader has laid a net in the headquarters, and countless executives are on standby at any time. You really sneaked in..."

Han Xiao's face changed slightly, his eyes were solemn, and he felt extraordinary. The leader had arranged an ambush in advance to wait for him, which meant that he knew he would sneak in?!

How is this possible?!

He clearly didn't tell anyone about his actions!

Could it be that the leader has a psychic who can predict the future? So am I already surrounded?

For a moment, Han Xiao's mind was in chaos. He hurriedly calmed himself down, and immediately noticed something was wrong. If the leader really knew his goal, how could he have sneaked into the headquarters so easily? It proved that the leader's knowledge was limited, and he didn't even know that he could sneak in by changing his face, so he didn't have any precautions in this regard.

Han Xiao immediately thought of the gaps in the Germination's defense deployment, confirming that this was Germination's trap.

Too many questions emerged in his mind. Since Cerberus took the initiative to mention it, Han Xiao knew what he meant, suppressed the killing intent in his heart, and said in a deep voice, "Tell me everything you know, and I'll consider letting you live."

Feeling the sharp killing intent, Cerberus's back was wet with cold sweat. He tried to calm himself and said, "This is all the prediction of the Son of Destiny."

Son of Destiny? Han Xiao frowned. He had never known that Germination had such a person.

"The Son of Destiny's ability may be to predict the future, or it may be to decide the future. We don't know. He predicted that you would walk into the trap..." Cerberus said from the beginning to the end, the Son of Destiny's ability, the prediction of Han Xiao, the leader's arrangement, everything was not concealed. For the sake of his life, he said everything he knew.

‘Germination is still hiding such a person.’ Han Xiao was secretly surprised. In his previous life, there was no information about this person circulating. It seemed that this was the deepest secret hidden by Germination. If the Son of Destiny's ability was to influence the future, wouldn't his idea of saving people be possibly forcibly imposed on him?

Suddenly, a strong killing intent arose.

Thinking is a person's private land, and if it is invaded, it will definitely touch anyone's bottom line.

Many abilities can exert a mental influence, telekinesis, magic, psychic powers, and even in the universe there are natural phenomena with similar effects. For example, the psychic undercurrent is an aggregate of thoughts, forming a spiritual band that travels invisibly in the universe. Wherever it passes, life forms with thoughts will hear the "voice" of the psychic undercurrent in their minds, thereby being influenced in their thinking.

But on second thought, Han Xiao thought this guess was too incredible, because he had the idea of saving people when he saw Hela more than a year ago, and he had also analyzed the benefits of doing so, all from a perspective of interest, and it didn't seem like he was being influenced at all. Moreover, he chose to sneak into the Germination headquarters, not only to save people, but also for other purposes.

The ability of the Son of Destiny must be limited, at least it has a limited effect on him, but it accurately predicted that he would come to the Germination headquarters alone, which made Han Xiao feel a little relieved, but also stained with some haze.

He finally understood how daunting it was to have an enemy who was suspected of predicting the future, and he could immediately understand the leader's level of frustration.

"I have severely damaged Germination, and the leader is afraid that he wants to skin me and pull out my tendons."

From Cerberus's mouth, Han Xiao learned that the current headquarters was hiding a large number of executives and troops, specially waiting to deal with him. Once there was any disturbance, they could form an encirclement at any time, and the situation was very bad.

However, Han Xiao also discovered a huge advantage of his own, that is, the leader only knew that he would come, but did not know the exact time, nor did he know his exact goal.

"So I still have an advantage. I can't delay any longer. It's best to leave immediately after completing the goal." Han Xiao's heart trembled.

If he could complete the mission and leave without anyone knowing, that would be the most perfect result.

By the way, he remembered the "Son of Destiny."
