The Double ( or More ?) Life of The Fake Heiress

Chapter 1255

Suddenly, a piercing alarm rang out, echoing from the second basement all the way through every corner of the research building, loud enough to make anyone's ears ring. As soon as the alarm went off, the whole place lit up like a Christmas tree, and the level-one security protocol kicked in automatically!

Nick, who was just about to reach the safety door, froze and turned back. The overhead surveillance cameras whirred back to life, their lenses started spinning slowly, the sound of infrared scanning mixing with the noise of the alarm.

"Move," came a cold, mechanical voice through his earpiece. Nick snapped his attention back, and just before the infrared beam could catch him, he slipped through the safety door.

Leaning against the wall, Ben just let out a scoff, not bothering to chase after him. The institute's security was tight as a drum-getting out was nearly impossible, even for someone with Nick's skills.

Ben shifted his gaze, eyeing the last lab, and quickly went over to help two researchers to their feet. They were shaky and sore, feeling like their bones might just crumble. It took them a minute to gather their strength.

"To the lab, quick... Check the lab..." the older researcher said, pushing his pain aside as he stumbled towards the last lab. He swiped his card, and the door opened as soon as his finger touched the pad.
