On the shooting range, An Yu and the Commander had conducted many tests. The limit of his space folding reaction was 0.13 seconds. Given the velocity of a bullet, as long as he was more than 110 meters away from the shooter, he had the conditions to save himself. But Norbert was less than a hundred meters away. With a whooshing sound, the scalding bullet instantly touched the hairs on An Yu's forehead. But the surrounding wind froze for a moment, and the flashing blades in all directions also…-

An Yu sat in the iron-gray space, panting heavily. This was the space inside the brooch. Because it had been stretched and deformed, the air was extremely thin. His lungs felt swollen against his thoracic wall; with every breath, he could feel the friction between his ribs and lungs. The burning pain on his back finally became real. He endured the pain to take off Qin Zhilu’s coat. Blood had soaked the thin inner layer of fabric, seeping from his waist to the front. The terminal showed his survival…

Wendt’s mother was in her seventies, but she was still energetic and was busy preparing meat pies at home. "He must have gone out hunting again," the old woman said, shaking her head as she vigorously kneaded dough. "The snowstorm has been so heavy lately; I heard other teams haven't caught much. I expect he's being stubborn and won't come back until he gets something... That boy... running out even with a fever. He was talking nonsense in his sleep… No matter how strong a body is, you can't treat…

Beneath the corpse’s hair and skin, human flesh and large clumps of stone were fused so unnaturally that the boundary between them had become indistinguishable. Jiang Xiao felt it should be impossible for human fat and muscle tissue to blend with lime, yet despite his great effort, he could not tear the flesh away from the plaster. Qin Zhilu stared at the now-empty pillar, then bent down to pick up the remaining manuscripts before stepping off the platform. Nothing happened. "An…

"Sienna seems to dream often," Qin Zhilu recalled, walking through the frost and snow. "It’s said that during those years at Brain, her brain waves were very active during sleep. She said staying in the laboratory for long periods gave her the illusion of being swallowed by emptiness. Fortunately, she could always find healing in her dreams." An Yu gathered the trench coat tighter. The coat draped over him remained untouched by snow, while Qin Zhilu and Jiang Xiao were already covered again. He…

When Qin Zhilu returned after dealing with the corpse, the lights in the room were already off. An Yu lay on the bed with his eyes closed, his chest rising and falling rhythmically. He stood by the bedside for a moment, then sat down and reached out to cover An Yu's head. "No one expected such a simple and crude attack. It’s normal not to react in time. You haven't really been training for dealing with sneak attacks before. This mission happened to make up for it." An Yu opened his eyes. Those…

Qin Zhilu casually picked up a Corner bread from the counter, glanced upward too, and said, "A child who hasn't been weaned." An Yu flipped through his terminal. "It said here that although Kaos' aptitude is mediocre, his mental stability is very good. He’s warm-hearted, with a personality that doesn’t easily annoy people. Colonel Disf had protected him well." Qin Zhilu tore off a piece of bread, put it in his mouth, and chewed slowly. He offered the remaining large piece to An Yu. "Which is why…

The Spire and the Main City gradually vanished in the distance. Among the clouds, the other two aircraft quickly became black dots, disappearing into the horizon. Jiang Xiao retracted his gaze from the porthole. "Mis hoped humanity could get a moment's respite after the Molly crisis was resolved. But I didn’t expect to encounter three high-level members receiving forbidden-level missions right after I returned." "The few districts near the Main City have indeed been calm for the past six months or…

"I'll go with you to the swamp." Lumen stood straight before Flame, his gaze lowered, fixed on the tightly wound bandages around Flame's chest. On his robust chest and broad back muscles, large flaps of skin and flesh were torn open. The aberrant’s ripping and gnawing had been utterly frenzied and the image of dripping blood blooming on the black rose tattoo was impossible to erase from one's mind after seeing it just once. Blood loss made Yan's face pale, but his hawk-like eyes remained dark…

Walking out of the White Tower entrance, before getting into the car, An Yu saw Bo talking to Chao Wu in a corner. Bo was holding that large bouquet of flowers. Some of Chao Wu's rose-red long hair was tangled in the flower stems as she held a conch shell to his ear for him to listen. Yan Xi looked back in the direction An Yu was looking and smiled. "Who says there's no human warmth among the Spire's high-level officers?" "Does anyone say that?" An Yu asked in surprise. "Mhm. They all say…
