Chapter 30

"If you can prove you're human, perhaps you can avoid execution."

Captain Yabai Mina's previous words echoed in her empty mind again, but there was no ripple in Kurozuka Kirishi's heart.

Prove? How?

She knew better than anyone that the blood flowing in her body was no longer human. She sat quietly in the special restraint chair, her thoughts scattered.

In the empty and cold isolation room, the heavy door in front slowly opened with the sound of air pressure.

She raised her eyes and looked at the person who walked in. It was a frequent news guest and one of the top leaders of the defense team - Shinomiya Isao.

He had a resolute face, eyes as sharp as an eagle, and a sense of oppression from being in a high position for a long time.

As soon as Shinomiya Isao walked in, without any unnecessary preface, he simply gestured to the researcher next to him: "Untie her restraints."

The researcher hesitated for a moment, but under Shinomiya Isao's unquestionable gaze, he still did as he was told.

After standing up from the chair, Kurozuka Kirishi moved her wrists, which had been freed again. The cold touch of metal still lingered on her skin. She looked at Shinomiya Isao quietly.

The next second, she raised her left hand, and the nail of her right index finger suddenly grew longer. Without hesitation, she cut a deep wound on her left forearm,

Blood instantly gushed out, flowing down her pale arm and dripping onto the mirror-like metal floor, creating a small patch of glaring scarlet.

As if he had not expected her action, Shinomiya Isao was obviously stunned for a moment, then he took the test tube handed to him by the staff and threw it to her.

After filling the blood tube and returning the test tube to them, the hideous wound on her arm began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye. The new flesh was wriggling, making people's scalps numb.

Kurozuka Kirishi's inquiring and scrutinizing gaze towards Shinomiya Isao,

"Next is the test, right?" She spoke calmly, as if she had expected this.

But in reality, that was not the case. Kurozuka Kirishi was just making a random guess. The real reason for her indifference was that she had already made plans for the worst. As for anything else... it didn't matter anymore.

Shinomiya Isao did not answer, but just took a step back. Someone nearby quickly handed him a set of special fist armor, which was a monster weapon made of the biological material of Monster No. 2.

Shinomiya put on his fist armor skillfully, took up his stance, and a powerful aura burst out.

"Stand up," he ordered.

Heizhong Wushi stood up as he was told.

Without any warning, Shinomiya's power was activated, and the fist armor wrapped in terrifying power hit Kurozuka Kirishi's abdomen directly, and a heavy muffled sound echoed in the room.

Kurozuka Kirishi didn't even make any defensive or dodging moves, and took the punch head-on.

The huge impact instantly penetrated her body, and she flew backwards, hitting the wall in the distance, and then slid softly to the ground, curled up, and motionless.

The abdomen was a bloody mess, and one could even vaguely see the internal damage.

Shizhigong closed his fist, frowned, and looked at the motionless figure lying on the ground.

There is indeed no sense of aggression, but with such a lack of resistance... there is no way to test the strength.

He walked forward and said in a deep voice, "Get up."

There was no response from the people on earth.

"If you don't want to die here, prove your worth."

There was still a dead silence, only the blood was slowly spreading under her.

Shinomiya Isao's brows furrowed more and more. Just as he was considering whether to terminate the test, Kurozuka Kirishi's body moved slightly.

She raised her head with difficulty, her face stained with blood and dust, but her eyes were still numb and empty. She glanced at Shinomiya Isao, then lowered her head again and began to focus on her own wound.

I saw that the muscle fibers in the horrific wound on her abdomen began to wriggle, intertwine, and regenerate like living things.

A faint light flickered deep within the wound, and the broken internal organs and tissues were quickly repaired and put back in place. The process was quiet but carried an uncomfortable inhuman feeling.

But in just one or two minutes, the horrific wound that would have killed an ordinary person on the spot healed as if it were new.

Only the torn clothes and the new, slightly fragile pink skin were left to prove the horror of the previous blow.

She slowly stood up and brushed off the dust on her clothes. Her movements were a little slow, as if the repairs just now had consumed a lot of her energy. She looked up and met Shinomiya Isao's complicated gaze again.

"What's wrong?" she asked, with a hint of genuine confusion in her tone, as if she didn't understand why he was looking at her like that.

At this moment, Shinomiya Isao finally realized the purpose of the information that Hoshina Soshiro showed him.

After a while, he sighed almost inaudibly, restrained his fierce aura, and waved to the researchers next to him.

Until he was unexpectedly released by the higher-ups and even allowed to return to the Third Unit for "observational reunion", Kurozuka Kirishi's heart was shrouded in a layer of faint fog.

She didn't understand how the decision makers weighed the pros and cons and ultimately came up with this "lenient" decision, which she considered.

On the way back, Ming Haixian, the captain of the first unit who was responsible for "escorting" her, looked at her furtively with an extremely strange look.

Although Kurozuka Kirishi didn't feel anything most of the time, he couldn't ignore this almost materialized sight.

She stopped, turned her head, and looked directly at Ming Haixian with her dark eyes. She calmly said, "Captain Ming Hai, what's the matter?"

"Are you really in that kind of relationship with that guy?" He lowered his voice and asked mysteriously.

Kurozuka Kirishi didn't react for a moment, tilting his head slightly, his eyes revealing genuine confusion: "Who are you talking about?"

Unexpectedly, upon hearing her bewildered question, Ming Haixian was not disappointed. Instead, he breathed a sigh of relief as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his head. He even exaggeratedly wiped the non-existent sweat from his forehead with the back of his hand.

"That's what I told you! How could anyone be so blind as to want to date him?"

Before he could finish his words, a familiar voice came from behind him: "Captain Ming Hai, are you... deliberately saying bad things about me to my teammates again?"

Ming Haixian's body froze instantly.

Kurozuka Kirishi immediately recognized the owner of the voice. She subconsciously and imperceptibly took a small step back, then silently looked at Hoshina Soshiro who suddenly appeared.

The air between the two people in front seemed to be ignited instantly, and invisible electric sparks burst out.

"Heh, it turns out that it's that bastard who has a crush on his teammate!" Ming Haixian took out a cigar from somewhere and put it in his mouth. He raised his head high, trying to overwhelm the other party with his momentum, and said in a vicious voice,

Look at him directly exposing his despicable thoughts! Hurry and humiliate yourself in front of Master Ming Hai!!!

However, Hoshina Soshiro just looked at him, sighed, and spoke in a gentle tone as if coaxing an ignorant child: "Who on earth is that guy with incomplete information who told you that he has a secret crush on someone?"

Ming Haixian's smug expression froze instantly, and he sensed something was wrong: "...Hmm?"

In his doubtful eyes, Hoshina Soshiro slowly walked forward and stood beside Kurozuka Kirishi.

Then, under Ming Haixian's almost popping-out-eyes gaze, he spoke very naturally, even with a sense of matter-of-factness.

She reached out her hand and accurately found the hand hanging by Kurozuka Kirishi's side, interlocking her fingers tightly.

Hoshina Soshiro raised their tightly clasped hands, as if displaying a medal of victory, and gave Narumi, who was petrified, an extremely brilliant, even somewhat provocative, smile:

"I have always been—Ming, Lian, ah~"

ha? ? ? ? ? ? ! ! !

Ming Haixian's eyes widened, his mouth wide open enough to fit an egg, and he darted his gaze towards Kurozuka Kirishi, his eyes frantically conveying a message: Refute it! Say it's not true! Slap him! Tell me this is fake!!!

However, Kurozuka Kirishi just turned his head silently, avoiding his burning gaze, and said nothing, but this silent reaction seemed to say everything.

Ming Haixian was struck by lightning, and his whole body was completely petrified. He looked at the two people holding hands, then looked at the sky, and finally uttered a sentence in grief and anger:

"...Damn it! I hate young couples the most!!!"
