Resurrecting the Genius Within

Chapter 418 Trap 

Isabelle dragged Moon Shadow upstairs. 

A drone flew ahead and scouted the path. They walked for a while without encountering anyone. 

The drone stopped in front of a door, seemingly having found something 

Isabelle shot the electronic lock on the door and kicked it open. Then she pushed Moon Shadow inside, 

The room looked normal. 

Isabelle walked in after him. 

The room was large and luxuriously decorated with various high–tech gadgets, Isabelle moved around the room. Suddenly. She took a painting off the wall and gently tapped on the wall behind it. Nothing unusual. 

Moon Shadow surveyed the room and wondered, Was this Clubs room? 

He looked at Isabelle, who was searching for something in the room. 

After a few minutes, Isabelle sat down at the desk, perhaps tired from her search. 

Someone set up a chess board in front of her. 

Black surrounded the white chess pieces. It was a completely losing game. Isabelle stared at the board. 

The silence permeated the room. 

Moon Shadow watched her curiously. 

After a moment, she moved a white chess piece. She moved the piece, and the table turned. 

The game transformed from a deadlock to a winning position. 

As the white chess piece clicked into place, a mechanism within the board triggered. The wall opposite the desk split open, revealing a silver metal door. 

Moon Shadow was shocked. He couldn’t help but look at Isabelle. 

Isabelle walked up to the door. It had two combination locks, like those on a secure safe, 

Isabelle pulled a pair of headphones from her backpack. 

It had been modified. The headphones had a special metal device on the cord that occasionally flashed a red light. 

The USB plug had a stethoscope/like carpiece. 

Isabelle put on the headphones and placed the earpiece against the metal door next to the lock. She then slowly turned the combination lock. 

The carpiece clearly transmitted the sound of gears turning inside the lock.

The drone’s camera allowed Tony, sitting in the car, to see everything happening in the room. 

Tony asked, “Will this work?” 

The robot replied, “I trust my honey.” 

Tony was rendered speechless. 

I really don’t want to hear this robot talking. The boss’s voice calling ‘Honey‘ in my ear is creepy. Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Tony then asked, “Did your honey tell you what she’s looking for? What’s in that secret room?” 

The robot replied, “Foolish human.” 

Tony was stunned. He retorted, “Did you just insult me? A mere robot?“. 

The robot replied, “Honey said there are secrets in there.” 

Tony remembered, “Oh, right. 

“We haven’t seen a soul so far. I have this uneasy feeling, like something’s about to happen.” 

Before Tony could finish, Isabelle stopped turning the lock. 

Finished 

The next moment, the heavy metal door slid open. Tony was about to cheer for her, but then a thick white. smoke billowed out from the opening. 

Isabelle quickly held her breath and retreated, but she was a moment too late. 

With just a small breath, Isabelle’s vision went black. 

George’s voice came through the Bluetooth earpiece, asking, “Honey, what happened? Honey?” There was 

no response. 

Tony saw Isabelle collapse and panic. 

Moon Shadow held his breath as the smoke cleared. He saw a control room reveal itself behind the door. 

Clearly, Isabelle had guessed correctly. This castle held many secrets. 

Footsteps approached, and the castle’s master finally appeared. 

Moon Shadow greeted the newcomer respectfully, “Master.” 

They cut the ropes binding him, shot down the drone, and sent it crashing near Isabelle. 

The screen went black. Tony panicked further. 

Moon Shadow looked at the open secret room, then at the unconscious Isabelle. 

The grand castle loomed like a behemoth over the desert. 

When Isabelle woke, she found herself inside a large black iron cage. Electronic cuffs shackled her wrists and ankles, and heavy chains suspended her in the cage.

The tranquilisers left her weak and helpless. 

Her chained wrists suspended her, her deep red marks painfully visible. 

Finished 

She was in a huge, fortified lab filled with equipment, and scientists in white coats were bustling around. 

This was the underground space beneath the castle. 

This facility was all too familiar to Isabelle. In her past life, she had been a research subject in a similar lab. 

Only the lab in Brookhaven had been specially designed for her, now buried along with her past.
