Even without careful consideration, Lin Ange could easily conclude that the current situation was not optimistic.

He quickly scanned the surrounding environment. As an experienced villain and weirdo, he must remain calm even in times of crisis and conduct detailed analysis of the situation.

Is there anything different in the room after the entrance is blocked? Is there really no chance of survival?

Lin Ange's eyes wandered around the room. Suddenly, he noticed that the electronic clock hanging on the wall was different from before. The originally closed clock was turned on, and the time displayed on the display was decreasing.

"2:59:41"

"2:59:40"

"2:59:39"

As time continued to pass, Lin Ange realized that all the secrets were hidden in this clock.

He turned his head to look at Xingyuan. She still had a confused expression on her face, and it was obvious that she had not yet recovered from the shock of the entrance being blocked.

He was a little disappointed with Xingyuan's performance. The Xingyuan he knew was not like this. She should be more tenacious and courageous.

In the original work, Xingyuan experienced many setbacks before gradually becoming more mature, but now she looks a little silly, perhaps because she has not experienced too many ups and downs.

But no matter what, she shouldn't be so panicked.

"Xingyuan!"

"Uh-huh?"

When Xingyuan cast a doubtful look, Lin Ange turned his head, pointed at the clock and said, "Did you see it? The countdown is decreasing. I think we can leave when the time is up, so don't worry."

"Huh? Oh oh."

Hearing Lin Ange's words, Xingyuan suddenly realized, but after taking a closer look, she frowned again and whispered: "Three hours?"

Lin Ange nodded, "Yes, we only need to stay here for three hours before we can leave. It's not a long time. Let's wait patiently."

With that said, he sat down leisurely. They would be locked up here for about three hours, and he didn't want to stand all the time.

However, with a bang, Xingyuan punched the wall again.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

"How do you know that what awaits us in three hours is an open door, not a bomb explosion or something like that?" Xingyuan asked.

As she spoke, she continued to pound the door with her fists, seemingly determined to break a big hole in it.

But no matter how hard Xingyuan tried, the door wouldn't budge, so she finally gave up.

"Tch..." Xingyuan complained in a low voice and rubbed his hands.

Lin Ange looked carefully and saw blood dripping from her fist.

"So you just smashed the wall like that? Your ability has been suppressed."

Xingyuan didn't respond, just looked at his hands silently.

Lin Ange took out the bandage from the bag and threw it to Xingyuan, "Come on, try using this to stop the bleeding."

Zhao Lingwei and Fang Xinxin prepared this for him so that he could use it when he was injured. Unexpectedly, it came in handy at this time.

Xingyuan took the bandage, hesitated for a moment, and finally tore off a small piece and wrapped it around his arm.

"...Don't expect me to say thank you."

"I have no hope." Lin Ange responded, with a hint of joking in his eyes.

Xingyuan flinched slightly, as if his answer hurt him.

Lin Ange couldn't help but wonder to himself, this Xingyuan's personality seems to be softer than before?

She was obviously not the kind of person who would talk to villains and weirdos. To be honest, when he threw the bandage to Xingyuan, he was already prepared for the bandage to fly back to his face. Unexpectedly, she actually accepted it obediently.

Or is this a special treatment she gave me? Is there any special reason?

However, just when this idea came to his mind, the bandage suddenly flew back to his face. Well, it seemed that the guess was still correct.

"Oh! What did the poor bandage do wrong? Wouldn't it be better to roll it back to me?"

When Lin Ange complained exaggeratedly and looked at Xingyuan with wide eyes, she lowered her head slightly, obviously feeling guilty and seemed very sorry.

"Okay, anyway, let's just sit and wait. I think the door will open in three hours. Is your 'gut feeling' telling you anything?"

"...Intuition?" Xingyuan muttered in a low voice.

Yes, intuition, the sixth sense, as her abilities evolve, she will get closer and closer to prediction. In fact, Lin Ange is not sure what will happen in three hours, so he wants Xingyuan to feel it through his own intuition.

Xingyuan frowned and thought for a moment, but soon her face relaxed. Her intuition told her that the door would open in three hours and everything would be fine.

So, they sat quietly and waited.

There were only two of them in this small room.

Facing this side, neither of them spoke, waiting in silence.

Is this hell? It’s too embarrassing!

An hour passed and silence enveloped the chamber.

The air was filled with the sound of faint breathing, which was the only communication between them.

Of course, Lin Ange didn't let himself take any time off. He took out snacks from his bag and ate them. It was a wise choice to bring them with him in the first place.

When he put his hand into the bag, Xingyuan's eyes shifted slightly, and her expression relaxed when she saw that he was only holding snacks.

"Would you like some snacks?" Lin Ange asked when Xingyuan looked over.

"...No." Although there was a hint of desire in her voice, she refused.

In this case, Lin Ange was not polite and began to enjoy the delicious snacks alone.

They continued to remain silent for the next time, and this awkward atmosphere seemed to condense the air, making it suffocating.

No, it’s not just the atmosphere that makes people feel suffocating, it seems like they’re really about to be suffocated…

Lin Ange gradually noticed that the air here seemed to be getting thinner and thinner, his breathing began to become unsmooth, and his thoughts began to become confused.

This is a very big problem for him. In the absence of oxygen, the brain is likely to be unable to work and make rational judgments. In other words, words may suddenly appear without passing through the brain. This is very important for hidden people. It is very fatal for him who holds many secrets.

In order to prevent himself from saying things he shouldn't say, Lin Ange decided to stay quiet and stop talking.

Although he felt a little uneasy, he resisted the urge to check his phone because he knew that any behavior that might reveal his identity would have unpredictable consequences.

Amidst Xingyuan's gentle breathing, he began to fall into a daze, counting down the time silently in his heart: "I only need to stay like this for one more hour."

Didn’t those people from Zhitu Group place oxygen-generating equipment in the secret room? What on earth were they thinking?

Due to lack of oxygen, Lin Ange's head began to feel dizzy. The experience was like being drunk.

He was thankful that they only had to stay here for three hours. If it had been longer, they might have been in bigger trouble.

Suddenly, Xingyuan opened his mouth, "...Jinhan Bridge."

"What?"

Lin Ange, who was staring at the ceiling in a daze, was attracted by her words and looked up at her.

Xingyuan was holding his knees together, wrapping his hands around his legs, lowering his head, not looking at Lin Ange, as if he was just talking to himself in a low voice.

"Did you stop the car from falling into the river on the Jinhan Bridge?" she asked softly. Looking carefully, her eyes were slightly closed.

Lin Ange observed her expression carefully and couldn't help but wonder, was she sleeping? Talking in your sleep?

But he quickly dismissed this idea. She was probably just affected by the lack of oxygen, and her brain began to become a little confused.

Just as Lin Ange was lost in thought, Xingyuan repeated his question again.

"...Car, are you holding it?"

car? Why should I hold the car? I'm not a strong man.

Oh, is she talking about the time of Jinhan Bridge? There was a car that looked like it was going to fall into the river, the one that I held on to for a few seconds?

...Is she referring to this? Did she see it?

Lin Ange thought with his slightly slow brain. Even in this situation, he kept in mind that he had to insist that he had done nothing.

"I didn't stop anything because I am a person who always moves forward." He replied incoherently.

"What are you talking about?" After muttering, she asked another question, "Then why did you ask me to save that plane?"

"Didn't I tell you then? To become a villain, I need a hero, an enemy who can stand up to me."

This answer caused Xingyuan to fall silent for a moment.

Lin Ange's head began to feel slightly dizzy. He just wanted to end the topic quickly and let Xingyuan calm down.

However, she spoke again: "So, you blew up the Jinhan Bridge... was it because you knew monsters would appear?"

Why is she so curious about this question? Almost everyone is paying attention to this topic.

Just when Lin Ange was about to look at her and reply that it was just a coincidence, their eyes met, and Xingyuan's gaze suddenly awakened his groggy brain.

From her eyes, did Lin Ange see curiosity, suspicion, or some kind of indescribable insight?

Could it be that those two previous questions were just to make him relax his guard and to get to know him better?

Li Xingran, you are so despicable now.

After coming back to his senses, Lin Ange swallowed.

Yes, looking back now, something is indeed not quite right. Why did she agree to form an alliance with him so easily in the first place? This is obviously to steal his information!

Think back to the questions she asked: did he prevent the car from falling, why was she asked to save the plane, and whether the blowing up of the Jinhan Bridge was because he knew about the appearance of the monster in advance.

When he connected these things, his expression became serious. It was obvious that she had begun to doubt whether she was a real villain and weirdo.

Although he hoped that this was just his overthinking and his misunderstanding, his intuition told him that this was no accident.

This is a crisis and he must protect his true purpose from being discovered. So, how should he deal with it?

Suddenly, an idea flashed through my mind.

Now that Xingyuan has begun to doubt, maybe he can use this opportunity to dispel her doubts. He wants Xingyuan to think that he is a complete villain and weirdo!

To this end, he is prepared to use extraordinary means to reverse the situation.

He looked directly at Xingyuan, smiled and said: "I want to tell you... yes, that's right, I knew in advance that the disaster would happen, and it was precisely because of this that I blew up the bridge in advance."

Lin Ange's confession shocked Xingyuan. Her eyes were full of doubts and consternation, and she obviously didn't expect him to admit it so directly.

When the opponent starts to waver, the situation will gradually turn in favor of Lin Ange.

He struck while the iron was hot and continued his offensive: "So? What else do you want to know?"
