"Verdant Star Stone, Lapis, keep her here!"

"Yes, Master!"

Hearing Fang Zheng's order, Lapis responded hastily, then she grasped her battle axe tightly and jumped up.

"Leave it to me... Hey, hey, hey? Sister Eve?!"

Looking at the blonde girl in front of her, Lapis was shocked.

"What's going on?"

"That's not me, Lapis!"

However, before Lapis could come to her senses, she saw Eve chasing after her from behind. Her golden hair turned into hands and grabbed the blonde girl. The blonde girl also turned around and her hair turned into sharp blades, fighting with Eve.

"What's going on? Why are there two Eves?"

At this moment, Cui Xingshi also rushed over. He was stunned when he saw this scene and didn't know what to say.

"Want to know? If you want to know, keep her here. I want to know too!"

Fortunately, Fang Zheng knew very well how to motivate the two. After hearing Fang Zheng's words, Lapis and Thuy Xingshi's eyes suddenly sparkled with excitement - they were extremely curious about this! !

"Water Dream!!"

Turquoise Starstone hurriedly raised the kettle, and then a heavy rain fell from the sky. Noticing this, Eve hurriedly pulled back and left - she had cooperated with the two more than once or twice, so she naturally knew Turquoise Starstone's ability. On the contrary, the blonde girl was unable to dodge and was immediately drenched by the water spraying down in front of her. However, the next moment, the ground cracked instantly, and countless vines twisted and pounced on the blonde girl.

But the blonde girl was obviously not a pushover. Her hair turned into blades again, spreading out like a whirlwind, and in the blink of an eye, she cut the vines into pieces. At this moment, Lapis rushed into the blonde girl's attack range like a train, then she opened her arms and hugged the blonde girl.

"Woo...let go!"

"No, Master!"

“Waiting!”

At the moment when Lapis restrained the blonde girl's movements, Fang Zheng also raised the gun in his hand and pulled the trigger. Soon, the bullet was fired and exploded instantly. Then a cloud of smoke erupted from the bullet, covering Lapis and the blonde girl. The blonde girl struggled for a while, then lay limp on the ground, losing consciousness.

"Huh...done."

Fang Zheng was relieved when he saw Lapis dragging the blonde girl out of the smoke. He did not use tranquilizer bullets. After all, if the blonde girl had the same ability as Eve, she could also resist his attacks by transforming her skin into armor or something like that. So Fang Zheng used smoke bombs containing powerful hypnotic gas.

Of course, this move must be used with the cooperation of Lapis, because Lapis is a puppet and will not be affected, but ordinary people obviously don't know this. Therefore, when Lapis gets close to them, most enemies will relax their awareness and think that the opponent will not use such a move that will affect friendly forces.

"Brother Zheng...Is she okay?"

At this moment, Eve also ran over and looked at the blonde girl in front of her anxiously.

"It's okay, just a little bit of sleeping gas, you'll wake up after a while..."

Having said this, Fang Zheng looked around.

"Anyway, let's go to a place that's more suitable for talking."

Not long after that, the blonde girl slowly woke up.

“I am…”

Lying on the bench, the blonde girl slowly opened her eyes, then she seemed to realize something and suddenly jumped up. Then her hair instantly turned into a sharp blade and stabbed forward - and then was caught by Fang Zheng's fingertips.

"Are you awake?"

Fang Zheng looked at the blonde girl in front of him. Beside him, Eve, Thuy Star Stone, and Lapis were all staring at her curiously.

"What is this place?"

The blonde girl asked in a low voice as she quickly looked around.

"This is a nearby park. Don't worry, we don't intend to hurt you, but I have a few questions I want to ask you."

As he spoke, Fang Zheng reached out and patted Eve's little head beside him.

"You should understand why I want to talk to you about this."

“…”

The blonde girl looked at Eve with a complicated expression, but she said nothing.

"I want to ask you, why do you want to kill me?"

"…I said, I am a killer. Once I accept a commission, I must complete it."

“……!”

Hearing the blonde girl's emotionless and cold answer, Eve couldn't help but tremble, and Fang Zheng held her shoulders.

"You're a killer? Then who do you work for? Where are you from? I've asked around, but there doesn't seem to be any information about a killer called Golden Darkness."

"…I just came to Earth a few days ago, so of course you haven't heard of me."

"I just came to Earth a few days ago..."

Hearing this, Fang Zheng was stunned.

"Wait, you're an alien?!"

"...Yes, is there any problem?"

“…”

Looking at the golden darkness in front of them, Fang Zheng and Eve looked at each other in bewilderment.

Is there such an operation?

"Does everyone in your race have the ability to transform?"

"Race?"

A hint of coldness appeared on the silent face of the blonde girl.

"I was just created as a weapon to kill people."

"Wait, you were also made using nanotechnology."

"…How do you know?"

This time, it was the blonde girl who seemed a little surprised. Looking at the blonde girl's expression, Fang Zheng slapped his forehead.

He said, being able to use nanotechnology to synthesize artificial life forms is such an amazing technology, but how did they get the 50 million?

Fang Zheng had similar doubts before, but because the Star Apostles were a very strange organization, it was not surprising that they could even create superpowers, so it was not surprising that they would invest in nanotechnology to produce some results. Moreover, Fang Zheng had hacked into the Star Apostles' organizational computer and knew the connection between the two. To put it bluntly, the Star Apostles' immortal nanomachines and Eve's nano artificial life forms were two branches of the same technology tree, so he subconsciously thought that this was all the work of the Star Apostles, and he didn't care much.

Although according to common sense, with the current technological level of the Earth, it is impossible to create nano-artificial life forms. This is just like wanting to build an aircraft carrier before you have mastered steelmaking. It is simply a daydream. But Fang Zheng has traveled through too many worlds. He has seen places like the Star Wars world where computers in the 1980s can build star destroyers, so he is no longer suspicious. At most, he just laments that the technology tree of the Star Emissary is too biased, just like only choosing navigation in Civilization.

But now, there is a more logical answer before me.

That is, this technology was not developed by the Apostles of the Stars at all, but came from an alien planet!!

How else would you explain it? If the theories are the same, it's fine. The universe is infinite, and who knows who has the same idea. But if you say that the humanoid weapons you create all look exactly the same, someone has to believe you if you say this is just a coincidence!

"What is the name of the organization that created you? What do they intend to do?"

Fang Zheng also became serious at this moment. He immediately thought of the 20,000 Misaka sisters in Academy City... Who knows if there will be 20,000 of them here too. If so, it would be a lot of fun.

"There's no point in asking these questions, Yuuki Tadashi."

The blonde girl stared at Fang Zheng.

"Because the organization that created me was destroyed several years ago."

"Is that so?"

Hearing this, Fang Zheng couldn't help but frown.

"But I can assure you that it is not for nothing."

As he spoke, Fang Zheng patted Eve beside him.

"You've already guessed it, but I still want to introduce her to you. This child is called Eve. I rescued her when I was catching a wanted criminal. At that time, that guy was desperately trying to research some kind of nano-biochemical weapons, and this child is his result."

“……!!”

Hearing this, a cold light flashed in the blonde girl's eyes.

"This happened just a year ago, by the way."

Looking at the blonde girl's expression, Fang Zheng's lips curled up slightly, revealing a smile, and then he extended his hand to the blonde girl.

"If you're interested, how about we investigate this together?"

Faced with Fang Zheng's invitation, the blonde girl remained silent.

"You may not know this yet, but I'm a bounty hunter, and the members of the organization that I defeated before have been detained. If you want to interrogate them, it will be easier to get in with me..."

"No."

However, before Fang Zheng could finish his words, he was interrupted by the blonde girl. She stood up, and then wings like Eve's grew behind her.

"Yuuki Masaru, I will investigate this matter myself, and...you are my target, I will not let you go."

After saying this, the blonde girl suddenly flapped her wings, then flew into the sky and disappeared without a trace.

"Ah, she's gone..."

Watching the blonde girl leave, Eve's expression seemed a little complicated, a little lost, but also as if she was relieved.

"Human, what now?"

Cui Xingshi sat on Fang Zheng's shoulder and asked curiously - it must be said that her curiosity had been completely aroused by this matter.

"I have to get this clear."

Fang Zheng made a decision quickly.

"You all should go back. I won't go home today. I will go directly to investigate the situation!"

Even if what the blonde girl said was true, Fang Zheng did not seem to be relieved. If that was the case, wouldn't it mean that behind the Apostle of the Star and the 50 million, there was an alien mastermind controlling everything?

Can I bear it?

So Fang Zheng first found Mr. Yumen to confirm the information about the blonde girl. On the terrace that day, Fang Zheng already knew that this female health teacher with a sexy figure was not a good person. Judging from the fact that she could convey messages to him on behalf of King Deviluke, she must be an alien. Later, Fang Zheng learned through questioning that this Mr. Yumen was indeed an alien, doing the work of a black doctor like "Black Jack".

Of course, her job is not to perform painless abortions, but to treat aliens on Earth. She is a person who is well connected to both the black and white worlds, so she must have many intelligence channels.

When she heard from Fang Zheng that Golden Darkness had come to Earth, she was also shocked. However, later, Teacher Yumen confirmed what Golden Darkness had said before. Of course, she didn't know the details. Not only that, according to Teacher Yumen, she had helped Golden Darkness with treatment several times before. Even if the time of the cosmic calendar and the Earth calendar is different, Teacher Yumen is also sure that Golden Darkness has appeared for many years.

So here comes the problem.

According to Golden Dark, her organization was destroyed long ago, but Eve was created only a year ago. The most likely possibility is that someone from that organization escaped and ran to Earth, and then operated behind the scenes of the Star Apostles.

Currid had been turned into an idiot by Fang Zheng, and the Time Guardian also dealt with him privately, but fortunately Wuwan was still alive. This guy is now imprisoned in an international prison and has lost his former smug look. When he saw Fang Zheng, he was so scared that his legs trembled and his hands and feet became weak. It seemed that the blow Fang Zheng gave him was enough.

Unfortunately, 50 million did not provide Fang Zheng with any valuable clues, because he was only responsible for paying. To put it bluntly, he was more like the financial sponsor of Star Apostle, providing funds to assist Star Apostle in research and development. As for who led the team in charge of research and development... 50 million was not clear about this matter. After all, he was too lazy to care about these things. Basically, it was when Currid found him to discuss nanotechnology cooperation and showed him the results that 50 million was tempted to join.

Finally, when Fang Zheng walked out of the international prison, it was already dawn, but he still didn't have many clues.

"Luckily today is Saturday."

Fang Zheng glanced at his phone and breathed a sigh of relief.

There was no choice but to go back to the island to see if there were any remaining clues.
