[We've been discovered?]
[No. If you triggered the alarm, it should have gone off here first, but this is a unified alarm system within the research institute.]
Lian Han breathed a sigh of relief. She knew it. In her current state, she wasn't even a living being, so how could she have been discovered?
Old Xing said, "[Tsk! Most of those who dare to attack the research institute are just asking for trouble. The alarm at the Federal Research Institute is directly linked to the military; the military dispatched troops to suppress it as soon as it sounded. It was only a matter of time before it arrived.]"
[That includes me.] Lian Han reminded him.
[Well, we didn't use any special methods. Even research institutes wouldn't be able to detect it.]
Lian Han didn't want to say anything more and floated towards the temperature-controlled chamber in the experimental area. It was a young leopard with snow-white fur, but its aura indicated it was an ordinary animal.
The federal government prohibits experiments using alien beasts.
She had seen plenty of animal test subjects elsewhere in the research institute before. Even so, Lian Han couldn't help but frown; live animal experiments were too cruel, and she didn't like them.
Looking back, Mingyu and the other researcher were gone. The enemy attack alarm had just sounded; they must have moved to a safe area.
Lian Han guessed, and prepared to delve deeper into the matter...
Miss Shadow's pupils contracted as she stared in disbelief at the young leopard inside the glass wall. Her aura fluctuated, and her blue-purple butterfly wings were the first to be exposed to the air, followed by her entire body appearing!
An unknown life form.
The little leopard inside the incubator looked at the life that suddenly appeared outside. Its fur stood on end, and seeing that she looked unwell but seemed to be in no danger, it tentatively stretched out a paw and placed it on the glass wall.
Those claws were actually the hands of a human child!
The research institute didn't use alien beasts for experiments, but they directly used humans! And it was a human-beast hybrid!
[Side quest completed. Quest reward: "Tracing the Origins Card Atlas".]
Lian Han had no interest in checking the mission rewards. She was extremely agitated, feeling that her life had been desecrated, and even wanted to destroy the research institute!
The federal government, how could they allow this place to exist?
Looking into the young leopard's bright eyes, Lian Han pursed his lips, suppressed his negative emotions, and reached out his hand to it. Through the glass, their palms faced each other. "Be good and live well. I will take you away."
The snow-white cub tilted its head to look at her. Having spent so much time in the laboratory, it could already understand human language. Was she saying she would take it away? Was she saying she would leave this place?
Something stirred in Lian Han's golden eyes. She said gently, "Little one, you have to hold on until I come to find you."
As soon as the voice fell, Lian Han had already disappeared. It wasn't assimilation, but rather that her speed had surpassed space itself—this was the power of a god.
[Hey, surveillance! Surveillance!]
Old Xing reminded her, but Lian Han didn't say anything. She just walked along the road, and all the surveillance cameras in the research institute were swept by her mental power.
As she approached the research institute's gate, Lian Han activated assimilation again and left silently. Apart from a young leopard, no one knew she had been there...
Outside the research institute, Lian Han hid in the shadows, coldly watching the attackers. She already knew that the mechs were very powerful.
The mechs in front of us had been painted black, making them unrecognizable. The fact that so many mechs could be smuggled into the capital and attacked at 3 a.m. suggests that their purpose was not simple.
Although the research institute's defenses were not weak, they were no match for the S or even 2S mechs. The guarding robots were retreating steadily and it was clear that they would not be able to hold out any longer.
[The army is coming.] Relying on his spiritual power, which made him undetectable to others, Old Man Xing was the first to discover the military.
Lian Han closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his golden eyes were clear and bright, and there was no trace of coldness or rage.
But her actions made Old Man Xing's heart tremble; he could almost foresee the tragic fate of the research institute.
Because it's in the suburbs, it was still pitch black at three in the morning.
A bright light appeared in the eyes of everyone present, a blue-purple glow. Everyone immediately felt a warmth in their bodies, and the fatigue from the battle vanished completely.
What's this?
As if hearing everyone's calls, the light faded, and first appeared a pair of butterfly wings, followed by a girl.
The battlefield fell silent!
With blue hair, golden eyes, pointed ears, and beautiful yet fragile butterfly wings, she seemed like an elf from a virtual world.
This is simply a miracle!
The scene fell silent for a moment. The girl rubbed her eyes, looking sleepy, and tilted her head to look at the attacking mechs. Her golden eyes were bright and clear, as if they could see into people's hearts. Then they heard the girl's heavenly voice, still full of sleepiness, "It's so noisy."
Everyone: So cute—wait, where did this life form come from? Did it come to the wrong place?
The girl seemed to have sobered up a bit, and frowned. "Why isn't it dawn yet? I don't like the dark."
Before anyone could realize what her words meant, the night sky suddenly brightened, and the sun and stars outside the capital city rose ahead of schedule!
What kind of power would it take to change the trajectory of a star with a single word?
No one dared to underestimate this elfin girl anymore.
"Damn it! The military is getting more and more insidious!" A curse suddenly came from the mech led by the enemy attackers.
When everyone came to their senses, they saw nearly a hundred mechs silently hovering in the sky above the left side of the research institute, their energy cannons almost fully charged.
It's the military!
The researchers at the research institute's eyes lit up, only to see the elf girl suddenly look at them, her brows furrowed, and her golden pupils filled with obvious disgust.
That one glance filled them with panic. They were being loathed—how could this be? They wouldn't…
The girl spoke again, "Those who blaspheme life do not deserve to exist in this world."
After saying that, she frowned again, her expression troubled. "But I can't kill. How should I punish them?"
The military captain, whose identity had been exposed, had a complicated expression. After hearing her words again, he couldn't help but turn on the speakerphone.
"Miss, what do you mean by that? Why is there a punishment?"
"Because humans have desecrated life," the girl said matter-of-factly. "Although the world is a dog-eat-dog world, all life is created equal."
"To attempt to combine the strengths of both races to create a different species is blasphemy! I've got it!" The girl clapped her hands, as if she had come up with a good idea.
An ominous feeling permeated everyone's hearts. A ball of purple light rose from the girl's hand. "Letting darkness grow shows that those in power in this world are incompetent and that humanity is ignorant. Therefore, I will deprive them of light as punishment!"
The girl's voice wasn't loud, but strangely, when she spoke, everyone's mental consciousness was shaken, and they all clearly heard her words.
The purple light rose higher and higher, exploding as it reached the horizon, scattering countless points of light like a rain of light.
When the light fell on people, everyone felt a sudden darkness before their eyes.
Their eyes!
The girl ignored their panic, saying, "You have to respect life! If there's a next time, it could be someone else, and then it won't be so simple."
Finally, the girl yawned, flew into the sky, and as she flew, the night sky darkened again, the sun and stars returned to their original orbits, and she began to fade and disappear...
