Chapter 76 Hi, beautiful, need any help?
In the underground corridor of Shencheng Pharmaceuticals, Raven stood in front of Chen Feng and Kiana, his hands in his pockets, his face clearly saying "I don't want to fight."
She didn't draw her gun, and her posture was relaxed, but Chen Feng knew that if he took one step forward, this woman would be in combat mode within a second.
"To be honest, I really don't want to fight you."
Raven sighed, "You are very strong, and you are someone the Lord values. Putting aside the question of whether I would be finished if the two of us fought, the most important thing is that I can't explain it to the Lord."
Chen Feng looked at her without saying a word.
Kiana stood beside him, her hands gripping the two pistols tightly.
Raven's gaze swept over Kiana before returning to Chen Feng.
"...But I'm just an employee. My boss told me to stay here, so I have to stay here. Please understand, after all, I need these wages to buy the island."
The raven's face showed pain when the island was mentioned.
It certainly looks heartbreaking.
"...If all else fails, I'll fund the purchase of a small island for you. I'm quite familiar with Anti-Entropy."
Upon hearing this, the raven immediately came to its senses, its eyes shining.
"Really? Then let's have a little spar. Anyway, you're strong, just don't beat me so badly I can't get out of bed."
After saying that, Raven rubbed his hands together, looking like he was ready to fight the other side head-on.
Just as the two sides were about to make their move, the entire building suddenly shook.
Dust fell sparsely from the ceiling, causing the three people present to frown and look up.
The tremors lasted only a few breaths. The light tubes on the ceiling of the entire building shattered, and the floors were exploding one after another. Reinforced concrete rained down.
"It exploded?!"
The raven was taken aback at first, but she quickly figured out the reason and immediately shouted through gritted teeth.
"Jackal, that madman!"
The explosion swept through half of Shencheng Pharmaceutical.
At the entrance to the basement, Rita jumped out from a pile of rubble, dusted herself off, and couldn't help but sigh softly.
"I've gotten completely dirty this time. I'm supposed to be a guest, so why are the people here in such a hurry?"
Rita looked at the blocked intersection outside, activated her headset, and directed her team to approach Shencheng Pharmacy, ready to provide support at any time.
I don't know why the Shencheng Medical Association suddenly exploded.
Did they discover my purpose and are using this method to prevent my investigation?
It's not impossible.
However, the basement was not significantly damaged after the explosion, which seemed to be a way of luring her in.
"After reaching the outer perimeter, remain in place for twenty minutes. If there is no news after twenty minutes, report to Lady Durandal and prepare for a full-scale attack."
I originally just wanted to gather some evidence, but I didn't expect the other party to use such an explosive tactic.
Then I definitely have to go in.
She went into the basement. The walls on both sides of the corridor were covered with cracks, and the emergency lights above her head flickered, making the whole corridor alternate between light and darkness.
Rita pushed open the iron door at the end; it led to a laboratory.
A huge culture chamber stood in the center of the room, with pale green liquid flowing slowly behind the glass wall. The contents inside made her frown.
It is not human, but something that exists somewhere between a human and a Honkai Beast.
Deformed limbs, exposed bones, and skin covered with stigmata.
Rita shifted her gaze from the culture chamber to the filing cabinet against the wall.
She pulled out a few documents and opened them. After seeing the contents, her pupils suddenly contracted.
The city's civilians were all guinea pigs.
She continued turning the pages, one after another, her expression growing increasingly somber.
Just as she continued flipping through the pages, the laboratory door was slammed shut.
The lights flickered on and off, and in the shadows, pairs of scarlet eyes lit up.
The assassins poured out from the hidden compartments in the wall and surrounded Rita, who was standing in the center of the laboratory.
Upon seeing this, Rita calmly put away the documents in her hand, then gripped the scythe in her palm and coldly stared at the assassin in front of her.
"It seems I've actually found something incredible."
As soon as Rita finished speaking, a projection appeared on the large screen in the laboratory.
In the scene, a strange figure appears in Rita's line of sight, with a cruel smile on her face, clapping and speaking.
"As expected of Schicksal's S-rank Valkyrie, this explosion was originally intended to warn you and make you back down, but I didn't expect you to still choose to come in."
The jackal's voice came through the loudspeaker, and there seemed to be a hint of... helplessness in his tone?
"Miss Rita, your curiosity is really too much."
Sometimes, excessive curiosity can be deadly.
Rita remained silent, her gaze sweeping over the assassins as she calculated something in her mind.
"Don't worry, I won't let them kill you."
The jackal's voice rang out again.
"After all, I've never used an S-class Valkyrie as a test subject for experiments."
Rita frowned slightly, but quickly regained her composure with a smile, and the surrounding assassins immediately attacked her.
Rita easily dealt with the group of assassins in front of her.
Just then, a strange gas suddenly sprayed out from above the laboratory, and Rita felt a sense of unease as she watched this.
"You should have heard of these things, HSN-B46 serum."
"Don't worry, your team members outside have probably been infected by now."
"You should know that I used to respect you a lot. I even went so far as to blow up half of your company just to keep you away from here."
"And Durandal actually came too, right?"
Jackal watched Rita, who was locked in combat with the assassin, and as she watched her opponent struggle more and more, the ferocious smile on her face grew wider and wider.
When Rita heard those words, a slight glint appeared in her eyes, but she didn't show it.
"Using the entire Sky Dome City as a testing ground, aren't you afraid that your World Serpent will face a siege from Destiny?"
The jackal seemed to have heard the biggest joke in the world and began to laugh wildly.
"Destiny? Besides Durandal, what else is worth our attention?"
"Alright, why bother talking so much to someone who's about to become a corpse?"
As he spoke, the jackal seemed to realize that he had been delayed for too long.
"It's time to end this, Miss Rita."
The moment the words left his mouth, all the assassins in the laboratory instantly swarmed him.
Just then, a golden light burst forth from the ruins, forcefully kicking open the laboratory door that was buried under the rubble.
Chen Feng, with Raven tucked under one arm, looked at Rita, who was surrounded by assassins, and whistled.
"Hi, beautiful, do you need any help?"
