I Get A Random New Occupation Every Week

Chapter 2084: Mysterious Underground Laboratory

“But the problem is, there are lots of cameras inside, and no one is allowed in without permission. Even as the Team 3 leader, you can’t enter.”

“Don’t make things difficult for Team Leader Li. I’ll call Elder Liang and see if I can get permission.”

Lin Yi replied as he pulled out his phone and dialed Liang Xianghe.

“Elder Liang, I’m at the research facility. Ning Che wants to come in with me. Is that okay?”

“Ning Che?” Liang Xianghe mumbled, “Is she Ning Rongbei’s granddaughter?”

“Yes, that’s her.”

Although Lin Yi didn’t pry much into Ning Che’s family matters, given their close interactions, he knew a bit about her background.

“This experiment is highly classified. But if you can guarantee she’s trustworthy, then she can come in.”

“Absolutely no problem, thank you, Elder Liang.”

Though Lin Yi had been intimate with Ning Che, he still maintained proper respect in front of Liang Xianghe.

After hanging up, Lin Yi turned to Li Hang.

“Problem solved, Team Leader Li.”

“Since Elder Liang gave the okay, it’s fine then,” Li Hang said, gesturing for them to follow.

“Team Leader Lin, Team Leader Ning, please come with me.”

Li Hang led the two out of the office and towards the staircase leading to the basement.

Soon, they came upon a heavy silver alloy door that resembled a bank vault.

Li Hang used a magnetic card to unlock the door, which opened automatically.

Beyond it were concrete steps which looked plain and unremarkable.

However, the numerous security cameras along the walls added a sense of formality and secrecy.

Descending to the second underground level, they encountered another alloy door.

Li Hang used the same method to open it.

Again, it revealed more stairs and cameras, but nothing else, giving the place an increasingly eerie feeling.

Lin Yi raised an eyebrow and thought to himself, ‘What on earth are they hiding to make this place so secretive?/

At the third underground level, there was yet another alloy door.

This time, beyond it was a wide-open space with multiple rooms.

Li Hang walked in front and took the two to the room at the end.

This was like a scene in a movie. Neither Lin Yi nor Ning Che had ever seen anything like it before.

It was hard to imagine that the Central Guards Brigade’s research facility was this well-guarded.

“Is this experiment really that classified?” Ning Che asked curiously.

“The machines create a magnetic field when activated, which could interfere with other equipment, so we built it underground.”

“But still, this seems a bit over the top.”

“Actually, the experiment itself isn’t as classified as you might think,” Li Hang chuckled, pointing to a nearby room.

“But inside there are many crucial Central Guards Brigade documents. I had to request this keycard three days ago just to access it for equipment calibration. Normally, even as a team leader, I wouldn’t be allowed down here.”

Hearing this, Lin Yi and Ning Che understood the situation better.

It wasn’t the experiment that was so secret, but the documents stored here.

Clearly, Liang Xianghe had shown them special trust.

He had allowed them access to such a sensitive area.

Standing at the door, they chatted briefly before Li Hang opened the alloy door ahead of them.

The room beyond was vast, at least 200 square meters, with thick alloy walls.

It felt like stepping into a steel cage—claustrophobic and heavy.

Though the room was large, it felt cramped due to the array of instruments and equipment filling the space.

The most striking feature was a large metal container in the center, about two meters in diameter but only chest-high.

It had a dizzying array of buttons and indicators that made Ning Che’s head spin.

They also saw Xu Lan there, adjusting equipment.

It was precisely this configuration that made Lin Yi and Ning Che feel a little strange.

“Team Leader Li, Team Leader Lin, Team Leader Ning, you’re here.”

Xu Lan greeted the trio as they entered.

But apart from Xu Lan, there was no one else there.

“Is everything almost checked?”

Xu Lan nodded, “We can start anytime.”

“Okay.”

“Team Leader Li, this experiment should be quite important, right? Why are only the two of you here?” Lin Yi raised his question.

“Because the experiment is so important, only a very small number of people have the right to know about it.” Li Hang said without hiding anything.

“In our Team 8, both of us are quite established. That’s why Elder Liang asked us to be in charge of this experiment secretly. Otherwise, the preparations wouldn’t have taken so long.”

Upon hearing this, both of them nodded without comment.

The reason Ning Che could come here was likely because of her elite identity.

Otherwise, it would have been impossible to enter such a place.

If Lin Yi were not an experimenter, it would also have been impossible for him to be here without the approval of higher leadership.

“Team Leader Li, is the experiment being conducted in there?” Ning Che pointed at the metal container nearby and asked.

Li Hang nodded, “But it will take some time to link the equipment. Let’s begin now.”

“Alright.”

Ning Che stood to the side without saying much, as she was an outsider and merely needed to observe.

“Team Leader Lin, before the experiment, you need to change your clothes.”

Seeing the shorts in Li Hang’s hand, Lin Yi couldn’t help but laugh, saying,

“Why does it look like the robe for a bathhouse?”

“It’s actually the same type of thing. I just use it for covering up, so it doesn’t really matter.”

“Got it.”

Lin Yi found a secluded spot and changed into the shorts.

Over the next hour or so, the two of them applied countless patches to Lin Yi’s body, with most concentrated on his arms.

As Li Hang had mentioned earlier, this experiment primarily focused on the arms.

By around 3 PM, everything was ready.

Lin Yi, wearing the shorts, entered the metal chamber.

“Team Leader Lin, if you feel uncomfortable, you can move around a bit. If you get tired, let me know, and I’ll recline the chair for you to take a nap,” Xu Lan said.

“Is the experiment this easy? I can even sleep?”

Xu Lan nodded, “Since it lasts 12 hours, we took these considerations into account during the design phase and made the necessary adjustments.”

“That sounds good. Let’s start now.”

“Alright.”
