Chapter 555 It Was Simply Too Unexpected

"What should we do?"

Nicole was a little anxious.

Laurence looked around. It was a warehouse-like room. There was nothing but some old clothes.
Normally, there wouldn't be any mechanism.

Laurence sniffed and whispered, "There should be another exit to this room."

"What?"

Nicole looked at Laurence in confusion.

"I can smell something different." Laurence said.

"Smell? Do you really have the nose of a bloodhound?"

Laurence could hear Nicole didn't mock him. Although what Nicole said was unpleasant to the ear,
Laurence still said, "It's a lumber-room. There's a smell of dust, but there's also another smell, like
soda."

"Soda?"

Nicole couldn't follow Laurence's train of thought.

'How come there's soda here?'

Laurence ignored Nicole's doubts and quickly searched.

After a few minutes, Laurence stood in front of a wall and frowned slightly.

"What's the matter?"



"This should be the exit, but I can't find the switch."

Hearing Laurence's words, Nicole walked over doubtfully.

Nicole looked up and down and found nothing wrong.

"I think I need to consult someone."

"Who?"

Laurence didn't know that Nicole still had a helper.

Nicole whispered, "My son, who called me just now."

"How old is your son?"

"He's four years old!"

With that, Nicole did not look at Laurence's surprised expression. She directly turned on her phone and
called Lucas.

"Lucas, do you think this is the exit? How do I get out of this wall?"

Lucas watched the video and whispered, "Mommy, turn on your phone cable. I need to operate on the
computer."

"Alright."

Nicole did exactly as Lucas said.

Laurence stood by and was a little surprised when he saw this. Laurence couldn't even believe that
there would be such a talented child in the world. However, when Laurence thought about what he



encountered, he became indifferent.

If even a freak like Laurence could appear in this world, what could not exist?

Lucas looked at Laurence beside Nicole and smiled, "Mommy, she is so beautiful."

Laurence looked a bit embarrassed.

Nicole coughed embarrassedly and said, "He's a man."

"What? Then Samuel will be miserable."

"Lucas!"

Nicole really had no idea why Lucas knew so much at such a young age.

Lucas naughtily stuck out his tongue at Nicole and quickly typed. Lines of code quickly scrolled on the
computer screen.

With a "plinking" sound, the wall in front of Nicole suddenly moved and retreated about half a meter.

"I'll go."

Nicole was simply too surprised.

If Laurence hadn't found this place, even if Nicole had been locked up here for life, she wouldn't have
thought that the wall would actually move.

"It's actually an exit."

"Mommy, it's nothing. It's the effects of using nanotechnology so you think it's a wall. Actually, it's not.
It's an electronic door and has a password. However, deciphering the password is simply not



challenging for me."

Lucas helplessly shrugged and Nicole found him annoying.

Was Lucas calling Nicole for being stupid?

Seeing that Nicole didn't look good, Lucas hurriedly said, "Mommy, our conversations can't last long.
With signal detection, I can't intercept the signal for too long. I'll hang up first. Call me if you need
anything."

With that, Lucas hung up the phone.

Nicole shook her head helplessly.

Lucas was quite wise in reading faces.

Laurence couldn't help but smile when he saw Lucas who was so smart and cute.

Nicole had to admit that Laurence's smile was truly enticing.

"If I find Samuel later, you'd better not smile in front of him."

"What?"

Laurence was a little confused, but he still nodded.

Laurence and Nicole entered through the door, and one of the switches closed directly. A strong smell
of soda rushed over.

"Who?"

Just as Nicole entered, someone directly attacked them.



Laurence subconsciously pulled Nicole. Only then did Nicole see clearly that the man attacking her was
actually Finn.

"Finn! What's wrong with you?"

Nicole still remembered that Finn had shot her. Now that Nicole saw Finn here again, Nicole wasn't
surprised, but she felt upset.

However, Finn didn't seem to recognize Nicole and attacked her without hesitation.

Nicole had no choice but to defend herself.

Nicole's skills were nearly the same as Finn's. If Nicole wasn't trained by Samuel for a while, she
probably would be no match for Finn now.

Nicole noticed that Finn's eyes were dull as if he was unconscious.

During their fight, Laurence whispered, "Finn's been deeply hypnotized. He lost his sense of self. Finn
just subconsciously follows the hypnotist's instructions."

"Then what should we do? Can we dehypnotize Finn?"

Nicole was anxious.

Finn was Nicole's right-hand man, and he was also the manager of Night Elf Empire. Without Finn,
Nicole couldn't figure out businesses here. Moreover, Finn was Nicole's man, so how could Nicole let
something happen to him here?

However, Laurence said, "Hypnosis usually has a password. If you can't find the password but
dehypnotize Finn blindly, Finn will be easy to get hurt."

"What's that mean?"



"Finn will become an idiot or a vegetable."

Hearing that, Nicole was a little pale.

It seemed Finn couldn't feel the pain as he fought with Nicole tirelessly.

Even though Nicole was temporarily cured by Satan King, she still couldn't maintain her extra strength.
Just as Nicole was panting, Finn suddenly blacked out.

"Finn!"

Nicole hugged Finn and felt that his skin was on fire.

"Finn has a fever!"

Nicole looked at Laurence.

Laurence shook his head and said, "I'm not a doctor, but I can bring Finn's fever down. Think about it
clearly. After that, if the order is not dispelled, Finn will still attack you. Even so, do you have to save
him?"

"Yes! Finn is my captain, my brother, and he came here because of my orders. Now that inn is like this,
I can't abandon him. I will even drag him back to the Seapolis City."

Nicole looked so determined.

Laurence looked at Nicole and didn't say anything. He bent down to reduce Finn's fever.

Nicole now was in a dilemma. If Nicole brought Finn forward now, she would face an even more
arduous danger. Even if Finn woke up, Finn might get in Nicole's way. However, it would also be
impossible for Nicole to leave Finn behind now.



Laurence seemed to see through Nicole's difficulties and whispered, "I can let Finn fall asleep for a
while. If you don't want to leave Finn, I can carry him on my back. However, there will be too many
uncertainties. You'd better think about it carefully."

"No, just do it. I can't abandon Finn."

Hearing that, Laurence nodded, and then he massaged Finn to temporarily put Finn into a deep sleep.

Laurence and Nicole brought Finn forward.

It was like an institute. Every room had a password lock, and even fingerprint verification was required.

Laurence looked at everything in front of him, as if he had returned to the past.

Laurence said coldly, "It's a research center. I don't know what's studied here. Marina, I need to remind
you that if your husband and friend are there, it's very likely that they're not what they used to be when
you find them."

"What do you mean?"

Nicole frowned slightly, feeling a little worried. Actually, Nicole guessed something more or less when
she knew it was a research center. Nicole just didn't want to verify it, much less believe it.

Samuel was the king of the Seapolis City. He was so outstanding. Samuel absolutely could not become
anyone's puppet or experiment. Otherwise, what would his life be like?

Samuel was so proud. Once he became someone else's experiment, he would rather die!

Besides, Tim was dashing and unrestrained. If he became something else, Nicole didn't know how to
repay his friendship.



However, Laurence didn't seem to see Nicole's worry and guilt. Laurence said coldly, "Anyone who
enters there will become someone else's experiment, such as me. Someone like me can be considered
successful. If I fail, I will die or my life will be a living hell."

"Stop! Before I find Samuel, I don't want to hear anything. I don't want to believe it."

Nicole hurriedly interrupted Laurence and she looked very pale.

Laurence looked at Nicole and said coldly, "If you're not mentally strong enough, you'd better not go in."

"I told you to stop!"

"Marina, you must face it head on."

This was the first time Nicole wanted to smash her fist into Laurence's beautiful face that was almost
dazzling.

"Don't think that I don't dare to beat you up. If you say one more word, I definitely will knock you down."

With that, Nicole walked forward.

Laurence looked at Nicole and followed with a sigh.

Laurence was bought by Nicole, so naturally Laurence had to follow Nicole wherever she went.

Nicole was worried, but she was also a bit excited about it.

Would Samuel and Tim really be here?

Nicole made a video call with Lucas.



"Baby, there's no one here, but there's definitely a surveillance system. Help me find out if there's your
daddy and Uncle Tim."

Nicole could not search aimlessly now and could only place her hopes on Lucas.

When Lucas saw this, he frowned and whispered, "Mommy, you should have entered someone else's
detecting area. It's too late to leave now."

"It doesn't matter. As long as I can find your daddy, I'm willing to die here."

Hearing that, Lucas’ hands trembled slightly and he whispered, "Mommy, you promised me that you
would bring Samuel back with you. If you die, what will Zoe and I do without you?"

"I'm sorry, baby. Mommy was wrong. Don't worry. As long as we find Samuel, we can go out. You
should know what Samuel and Uncle Tim are capable of, right?"

Nicole comforted Lucas, but she didn't know for sure. If Samuel really wasn't who he used to be, would
Nicole still be able to leave?
