Messing With Her? Are You Crazy! novel Chapter 1554

Jerrick angled his head just a fraction, catching a glimpse of the woman trailing behind him from the corner of his eye.

She was swinging her medical case with a lazy gait, her face still twisted into the dark, murderous scowl of someone who had been violently dragged out of bed.

This Panacea was far sharper and infinitely more dangerous than he had initially assessed.

On the surface, she played the part of an unhinged, money-grubbing underground doctor to perfection.

Yet every single move she made was executed with surgical precision.

Backing the ship into a corner where they had no choice but to rely on her.

Forcing him into a position where he had no choice but to take the bait she dropped.

Manufacturing an airtight alibi that allowed them both to stroll straight into the perimeter.

The group came to a halt in front of the massive blast doors.

The ship's security personnel initiated a ridiculously convoluted sequence to unlock the barrier.

The dense steel doors slowly retracted into the walls.

Beyond lay a pitch-black corridor that seemed to stretch into infinity, the reinforced flooring so sterile it practically gleamed.

Jerrick was the first to step inside.

Staring at his broad back, Serena's lips ticked upward.

This watchdog was turning out to be far more useful than she had anticipated.

What followed was a grueling gauntlet of security checkpoints.

The protocols were exponentially more draconian than the ones guarding the medical wing.

As they cleared each blast door, Serena methodically burned the layout, patrol routes, and camera blind spots into her memory.

All the while, her scowl deepened, layering her features in a thick veil of brooding irritation.

Passing through yet another heavy checkpoint.

Serena's impatience finally boiled over. "This corridor is ridiculous. What, is the ship paranoid I'm going to memorize the blueprints?"

Director Kaelen's heart skipped a beat, and he hastily stammered out, "You joke, Your Excellency. The outer perimeter is highly compartmentalized. The labyrinthine design is purely for security purposes."

"Security?" Serena scoffed loudly. "Security is the absolute cheapest commodity on this rust bucket."

Director Kaelen was rendered speechless.

Jerrick didn't miss a beat. "If Miss Panacea is frightened, you can turn back now."
