Throne of Radiance

Hearing the excited and uplifting voices of other people, Fina lowered her eyes and stared at the laboratory next door without moving.

The snow-white light penetrated through the transparent wall, casting a distorted and terrifying shadow on the struggling figure on the test bench.

She watched the twitching hands on the experimental table gradually calm down, and the person who was twisting and struggling like a bug also calmed down little by little, as if falling into a deep sleep.

On the screen not far from the test bench, the line showing the heart rate gradually turned into a horizontal line under her gaze.

She watched the researchers in white coats rush back and forth in that laboratory, using various instruments that she couldn't name, until she was sure that they could not be rescued, and then lifted them off the experimental table, as if dealing with the failure of the experiment of mice.

——Their movements are calm and proficient.

In the conference room separated by a wall, no one cared what happened in the laboratory. They were imagining a future beyond the success of the plan, and had a good time talking about the common goal.

"Then we look forward to witnessing success beyond the program."

"It will. The future must belong to us."

After successfully obtaining the resource support he was expecting, and gaining the approval of Dr. Wells, the general manager of the project, Alvin smiled from ear to ear, and got up to send the group away.

Fina just felt like an unconscious puppet, unable to empathize with the laughing people at all. She stood up along with the people around her, and walked out with them.

As far as she could see, there were faces full of ambition, eyes full of anticipation and hope, as if a bright future full of flowers was unfolding in front of everyone's eyes, and they saw what they yearned for infinitely With a bright future, I ignored the blood and darkness that covered this road.

A very faint coldness spread through Fina's veins.

She shuddered imperceptibly.

Just before going out, she was absent-minded and vaguely heard Dr. Wells urging others: "By the way, we must send someone to catch the escaped experimental subject as soon as possible. Without him as a successful sample, go beyond the plan." The progress of the experiment has been delayed a lot, and some experiments have to be overthrown and restarted..."

"Don't worry, we won't forget him." Someone swore a promise, and added helplessly, "However, it may take a little longer. That guy is really good at hiding, and there must be a force helping him Erase the traces, at least there is a top hacker helping him..."

"...Fortunately, the Morningstar Empire is our home field. No matter how powerful the forces behind him are, it is impossible to surpass the Empire, and it is even more impossible to be an open enemy to the Empire. As long as we are willing to spend time and energy, we will be able to catch people sooner or later. I'm afraid that he was already sent out of the country overnight on the day he escaped, and he will hide for the rest of his life without showing his head—leaving the border of the empire, it will be much more difficult to find someone from the vast crowd."

"No way? Didn't you say that you have checked the exit list for these days? The people behind him can even hide this?"

"No, I was just talking about the worst possibility. I don't think anyone has been able to smuggle people out under the nose of the empire. Moreover, experts have also analyzed the personality and psychological changes of Experimental Subject R, and judged that he will not escape easily. , but more likely to hide in the dark and wait for an opportunity to retaliate."

"——With his hatred for the Transcendence project team, and Dr. Wells, you have been very high-profile in the news recently. You should be careful. Maybe, you are now on the other party's revenge list."

"Huh? Take revenge on me?" Dr. Wells, who was called out suddenly, was taken aback for a moment, and then laughed. His eyes showed a kind of eager anticipation that made one's hair stand on end. "I have always had special security personnel with me. In the dark, and the current Transcendent Potion No. [-] is not perfect in my eyes, after escaping from Experimental R, I have been studying how to restrain him... If he really comes to the door and throws himself into the trap, I can't wait for it. It just happens By the way, let's take a look at the performance of the successful experimental subject that surpassed Medicine No. [-]."

"...I think you will be able to see the research results now."

Someone spoke suddenly, with an undetectable tremor in his tone.

"what?"

The speaker pointed forward with trembling fingers, and also attracted the eyes of others to that direction.

As far as the line of sight is concerned, there is a figure who passed by a group of people in a low-key way half a minute ago——

The other party was dressed in a neat white coat, half of his face was covered by a mask, with a stack of documents under his arm, he walked out in a hurry with his head down, and looked similar to any researcher.

At this time, the man had just walked to the corner of the corridor, and at the end of the other road was the gate of the institute.

From their point of view, the person who happened to walk around the corner showed half of his face. Although the mask was tightly covering his face, his blue eyes were faintly exposed between the loose hair.

——In this exposed eye, the frozen blue is like a melting ice crystal, with a cold sharpness that is hard to erase no matter how you cover it up, it seems that it can be ruthlessly torn apart no matter what it faces.

The speaker even began to tremble.

——This eye was all too familiar to him.

On that bloody rainy night, he watched the other party kill his colleagues, friends, and even women he had a crush on like chickens and dogs.

As one of the lucky ones who survived the catastrophe, he did not know how many times he woke up from the nightmare in the middle of the night, and was torn to pieces by the other party in the nightmare.

"That is……"

For those present, the escaped experimental subject R was no stranger, and some people even saw his photo no less than a hundred times.Once reminded, someone immediately realized the identity of this person.

This made them unbelievable.

"—that guy really came back to throw himself into the trap?!"

Focused by so many eyes, the person in front seemed to realize that his identity had been discovered, and no longer walked slowly in a disguised appearance, but the whole person rushed out like an arrow off the string, and he kicked off the ground. At the same time, he took out a few scalpels from the pockets of his white coat and shot them behind him.

The scene suddenly became chaotic.

"...Get out of the way! Ah——"

"...How did this guy get in here!"

"Sneak into the research institute secretly, what exactly does he want to do..."

"Di-!"

The siren of the research institute suddenly blared, signaling to the security forces stationed there that they were attacked by the enemy and invaded.

The group of people who were complacent and high-spirited just now are completely overwhelmed at the moment. They have seen the opponent's inhuman combat power through the once tragic "crime scene". idea.

"It's not safe outside, find a place to hide first!"

Taking advantage of the swarming efforts of the security personnel, Dr. Wells reminded, the first one to turn around and run away!With the speed of a [-]-meter sprint, he rushed into the conference room he had just left, closed the door quickly, and opened the first defense system, the second defense system, and the third defense system.

——Until all the defensive measures that could be arranged were arranged, the elderly Dr. Wells, who ran faster than the young, let out a long breath, and slowly sat down on the ground.

At this time, he had long since lost the vigorous look he had in suits and leather shoes not long ago. His clothes were crumpled and wet with sweat, and his forehead was also dripping with sweat.

However, the other people around were not much better.

This group of elites who were still planning the future of the empire in the meeting room, one by one, spread out on the floor of the meeting room or on the sofa panting heavily, even their legs were weak.

——One thing to say, how handsome they looked when they were pointing out Jiangshan just now, but now how embarrassing they are when they start running 800 meters away before anyone can see clearly.

A few unlucky people who were hit by the scalpel had to rummage through boxes and cabinets in the conference room, and bandaged their wounds in a hurry.

Fina sighed and tried to hide in the corner as much as possible.

"Cough." Dr. Wells coughed dryly, pretending nothing happened.He gestured to Alvin, the person in charge of the research base, with his eyes, "Okay, it must not take long outside to solve it. Don't doubt the strength of the research institute. Last time, it was caught off guard due to an unexpected power outage, and underestimated the combat power of Experimental R. I didn't expect that there would be a helper appearing suddenly, and it was because of multiple factors that he was allowed to escape. Now, the research institute that is in perfect condition in all aspects, let alone a mere experimental subject, even if a special team comes, we will Don't be afraid. It's just right, let everyone see the effect of Beyond Potion No. [-]."

Alvin understood, he didn't know where to press the switch, and saw that on the wall where the door of the meeting room was located, the original gray faded like a layer of paint, revealing a one-way glass that was exactly the same as the walls on both sides. transparent wall.

This allowed them to easily see the outside world.

Outside the conference room is the snow-white long corridor of the research institute. At the end of the long corridor, the opened door is blocked by a group of people who are fighting. The security forces of the movie, on the other side are the men who broke into the institute single-handedly.

A battle with a disparate number of people was staged in front of everyone, and they seemed to see a real sci-fi and fantasy blockbuster happening in reality.

——Although there are a lot of people on one side, the main purpose is to catch people instead of killing people. Although there is only one person on the other side, the relatively small terrain of the research institute, combined with his super fighting power, and his completely risky fighting style complement each other perfectly. .

However, as Dr. Wells said, the escape of the experimental subject was entirely due to the accumulation of too many coincidence factors. Under normal circumstances, it is easy for the research institute to catch an infiltrator.Even if the opponent is a physique enhancer beyond the limits of mortals.

Therefore, it didn't take long before the situation began to tilt one-sidedly towards the security forces. The people trapped in the middle took off their tattered white coats at some point, and the masks on their faces fell off during the fight, revealing the familiar face. face.

They completely relaxed: "The trapped beast is still fighting!"

Probably because the previous act of running away without hesitation was too embarrassing. At this time, seeing the culprit in such a mess, everyone was relieved and returned to their previous countenance of pointing Jiangshan.

"The effect of Transcendence Drug No. [-] is really amazing." Someone complimented, "Dr. Wells, if your Transcendence plan is willing to accept private investment, you must give priority to me..."

"...I can't wait to look forward to the finished product beyond medicine! This must be a miracle in the field of life science!"

"Based on the achievements of Beyond Project, I think you deserve the World Biological Science Award next year!"

"Where, where, the current experimental results are not perfect..." Dr. Wells smiled.He looked at the besieged experimental subject R as if he were looking at a treasure.

He still didn't forget to point out the opponent's flaws in real-time commentary based on the battle that was happening outside:

"The recovery speed of the injury barely reached the goal, but the endurance is still lacking, and the Transcendence Drug No. [-] improves the physique, speed, and explosive power at the same time, it is suspected that it will cause certain damage to the brain nerves of the human body, resulting in emotional impulsiveness and difficulty in fighting. calm……"

When he spoke, the others listened attentively, like a group of good students listening attentively to the teacher's lecture.

Especially when he heard the back, someone slapped his thigh: "You are so right! If it wasn't for a problem with the brain, why would this experimental subject run back and throw himself into the trap! You must know that he ran out with great difficulty before. Bar?"
