Chapter 110 Sacrifice? No, it’s a Knight! (Part 2)
“Excuse me, can you show your permit… what…”
Feeling the two warriors behind her, their suspicious voices reached her ears. Su Jiu instantly turned into a little bat and charged towards them.
“Whoosh!”
Not needing to summon E Huo, in just a breath, Su Jiu reappeared behind them. Even a Battle General couldn’t detect her strength, let alone these warriors who were only Advanced Stage Warriors and couldn’t react to her speed at all.
They only felt a dark shadow flash before their eyes.
“Screech—”
As her Gothic sleeves ripped through the air, her fingernails, about 10cm long, cut through their throats like blades. Without giving them time to react, she killed them with a single blow.
Su Jiu caught the two bodies, dragged them into the adjacent room, and then, with a “bang!”, transformed into several little bats and fled at high speed.
She couldn’t be sure if there were more warriors ahead. With the surveillance gone, this was the safest way.
Transformed into bats, she was very fast and soon reached the end of the corridor. Unlike other private rooms, this one had a modern feel. The glass automatic door opened as soon as Su Jiu, in her bat form, arrived.
Without hesitation, Su Jiu quickly entered and looked around. She found no surveillance. While called a private room, it could also be described as an exquisite office, with a desk, a computer…
At the very front was an elevator, like a lift. Su Jiu reassembled into her human form and stared at the elevator buttons. It seemed to require a card swipe.
“Wasn’t that the card the gatekeeper asked for?”
After searching nearby, in drawers and every corner, she found nothing but a pile of documents. However, two documents made her freeze. Possibly for work convenience, they were in both Japanese and English.
Su Jiu frowned as she read, and with each word, a feeling of immense shock surged within her!
“South China Sea Monster Experiment Plan – Target: South China Sea Siren”
[On March 25th, K contacted Dr. Andrew. For one billion US dollars, we acquired the data of the J-ki429 experiment, which was blocked by Bear Country that year. That day, we learned that the blockade back then was not due to international pressure or hoarding the experiment – it was radiation!]
[Mixing Sub-Dragon Flame Crystal with extreme cold ice crystals and a bunch of special potions would cause a violent explosion. Even a Battle King, if at the center, would be instantly engulfed.]
[The residual explosion had the chance to radiate monsters, causing mutations – but it could also cause humans to demonize! And the radiation would persist! And spread to rivers and other places!]
[This is precisely why it was blocked!]
[On March 29th, we officially met with the doctor and prepared materials according to the planned schedule. Meanwhile, we began capturing monsters for chemical experiments.]
[On March 30th, Giant Rock Shrimp, instant death]
…
[April 2nd, Deep Sea Ugly Fish, died the next day]
[April 5th, we discovered that “Sirens,” amphibious marine monsters, had resistance to the small doses of radiation we produced.]
[April 6th, “Siren” mutation successful! After being turned into a weapon, their strength increased by more than 50%, but the success rate was only 46%. We need to capture more!]
…
[April 15th, we captured “her,” a different Siren. They seemed to have gone mad! They started organizing various monsters to attack our ports.]
[But as long as we hold onto “her,” those Sirens dare not attack easily – and later, we discovered that “her” blood could improve the success rate of Siren mutations!]
Another document, “Dragon Country Fuzhou Branch Grand Operation – Transfer.”
[Those Sirens actually followed us all the way here! Is it because of her?……]
Su Jiu casually read the preceding text and understood the situation. She never expected the other party’s actions to be so shameless, yet she felt a curiosity towards the “her” in the text.
“The laboratory is downstairs, I have to hurry down.”
Just as Su Jiu finished reading the materials and was at a loss, a male voice came from not far away. He seemed to be complaining about something, but then quickly let out a few lewd laughs.
“Can’t see beautiful women anyway, and we have to transfer every day— but thankfully no one’s here today, I can touch her, hehe.”
Hearing the approaching footsteps, Su Jiu immediately transformed into a tiny bat. She saw a middle-aged man in a white coat with glasses. He glanced around at the messy drawers with a scolding look, then took out a purple, crystal-like card from his pocket.
“Damn it, which brat was responsible for cleaning? They made a mess everywhere. If Xiangzi, that crazy woman, finds out, I’ll probably be fed to monsters.”
Su Jiu watched as the man entered the elevator and rushed into it as well. The middle-aged man seemed even more enraged. He raised the files in his hand and swatted at the little bat, “Grass, it must be those weird things from the Elring family who brought them in.”
Su Jiu noticed the alarm and the camera in the upper right corner of the elevator. She didn’t make a move and let him swat at her. As the elevator slowly descended, her gaze fell on the scene outside the white elevator glass, and she was deeply shocked.
“The ocean!?”
Outside the glass window, the seawater was a pure, bright azure blue. The waves were as calm as a lake. Beyond this “ocean,” there seemed to be another layer of glass.
Finally, the elevator reached its destination. A passage resembling an aquarium came into view. The surroundings were all blue, but reflecting the incandescent lights, they emitted a dazzling glare, shimmering like fish scales, with occasional flickers of light passing by.
The researcher seemed tired and walked towards the deepest part. Su Jiu, in her little bat form, secretly followed him, drifting along.
“Why are these Sirens using flight mode in the sea?”
In fact, upon entering, she had noticed that the Sirens outside the glass enclosure seemed a bit off. When they spread their wings, those wings actually turned into something similar to fish fins.
The researcher’s footsteps stopped, and soon they reached the end of the entire laboratory. In front of her was—
A huge transparent fish tank. Large iron chains formed a crescent shape, suspending an unknown object. The researcher went to a nearby computer in the control room and entered something.
“Clang clang!” The chains were pulled up, revealing a face as delicate as a human girl, with fish-fin-like ears. Su Jiu was instantly stunned by the other’s appearance—why did she look so much like her Ice Cicada form?
Only, she appeared to be a bit larger than herself. As the chains continued to be lifted, Su Jiu saw that the upper body was wearing a yellowed lab coat.
And the other party surprisingly had the same lower body as the Siren, a fish tail.
“Mmm…..”
Various colored tubes were inserted into the back of the fish tail. As if awakened by the noise, she slowly opened her eyes, her bloodshot blue pupils empty as she looked out at the sea, as if silently weeping.
“Stop crying, you won’t live much longer anyway. Why not give me some satisfaction? I’ve wanted to do this to you for a long time.” The researcher’s voice echoed in the empty laboratory, sounding somewhat smug.
