Chapter 577: Hide Inside!

"Quick, hide inside!" Li An shouted.

The moment the two of them ducked into the warehouse, the SERN pursuers arrived. They searched carefully around the warehouse, weapons at the ready to fire at any moment.

"Where are they?" one pursuer whispered.

"They must be nearby, search carefully!" another pursuer said viciously.

Li An and Guo Yao hid in a corner of the warehouse, not daring to even breathe heavily. They could hear the pursuers' footsteps echoing through the warehouse, each one seeming to strike straight at their hearts.

Just then, Li An suddenly noticed a strange item on the ground. It gave off a faint blue glow, its surface covered in odd symbols.

"What is this?" Li An wondered to himself, and he instinctively picked up the item. The instant he touched it, a flash of blue light surged out, and his and Guo Yao's auras vanished without a trace.

"Strange, how did their auras suddenly disappear?" one pursuer said in surprise.

"Could it be that they have some special ability?" another pursuer added, equally puzzled.

The SERN pursuers searched the warehouse for a while, ultimately finding nothing, and could only leave in frustration.

"Phew, finally shook them off." Li An let out a breath of relief, looking at the item in his hand with curiosity.

"This item is so strange—how did it hide our auras?" Guo Yao asked, eyeing the item with equal curiosity.

Li An shook his head: "I don't know either, but this item is definitely not simple. Maybe it can help us survive better in this world."

After shaking off the SERN pursuers, Li An and Guo Yao continued their search for Okabe Rintaro. They asked around on the streets of Akihabara and finally found the address of the Future Gadget Laboratory.

When they arrived at the Future Gadget Laboratory, Okabe Rintaro was discussing something with Hashida Itaru, Makise Kurisu, and others.

"Excuse me, is this the Future Gadget Laboratory?" Li An asked politely.

Okabe Rintaro looked up, his eyes flickering with curiosity as he regarded Li An and Guo Yao: "Oh? Who are you? How did you find this place?"

Li An took a deep breath and told them everything—their origins and the purpose of their coming to this world.

"I see, top-tier manga lord from another world, how interesting!" Okabe Rintaro stroked his chin, a gleam of excitement flashing in his eyes. "It looks like our world line is about to undergo some fascinating changes."

"We hope to cooperate with you to explore the secrets of world line changes together," Li An said sincerely.

"Cooperate? Of course!" Okabe Rintaro agreed readily. "But before that, you'll have to let me see what you're capable of."

Li An smiled slightly: "No problem!"

Just then, Amane Suzuha and Daru walked in as well. They saw Li An and Guo Yao, and looks of surprise appeared on their faces.

"Who are these two?" Amane Suzuha asked curiously.

Okabe Rintaro introduced them with a smile: "This is Li An and Guo Yao, friends from another world. They want to explore the secrets of world line changes together with us."

Amane Suzuha and Daru exchanged a glance, and anticipation showed in both their eyes.

"Welcome to the team—I hope we can uncover the truth behind world line changes together," Amane Suzuha said with a smile.

"Yeah, with you two joining us, our research is sure to go much more smoothly," Daru added excitedly..
