Yu Yuan walked through the underground corridor, with a lab technician in a white coat not far ahead of him. He planned to steal the other's identity to enter the Animal Mutation Laboratory.
Just as he was about to make his move, he suddenly felt a sensation of being targeted.
Huh?
His movents paused slightly for a mont before he imdiately realized this was the danger perception ability from his title [Neighborhood Shadow].
"I'm being watched? But how is that possible?"
He maintained his composure and observed the surrounding personnel, finding nothing unusual.
But the danger perception from within grew increasingly intense, like being watched by a venomous snake, sending slippery, chilling sensations throughout his body.
The danger perception from his mind wouldn't deceive him.
Yu Yuan imdiately abandoned his plan to change identities and began thinking of ways to break free from the enemy's lock-on, or at least figure out what had gone wrong.
Lilith followed the scent in the air at a leisurely pace, tracking the intruder from behind. She was very curious about what kind of relationship this person had with Loris.
And why would this person infiltrate the underground laboratory at this ti? Did Loris have ulterior motives regarding the Aurora Animal Assistance Association?
After all, on the night Loris found her over ten days ago, he had said many interesting things. If she could now get so leverage over Loris...
When she later contacted Loris and the important figure behind him, she could seek greater benefits for herself.
Even...
An idea flashed through Lilith's mind.
That was to replace Loris and beco Miller the Missionary's subordinate.
"This might be an opportunity!"
Anyone could see that Miller the Missionary's status within the organization was at its peak.
If she could align herself with Miller, she might be able to change her current awkward situation. Thinking of this, she rembered the rumor she had heard earlier, feeling a surge of anger and resentnt.
"To be personally taken as a student by Lord Miller and directly injected with the latest genetic modification serum - that person is really lucky!"
Lilith didn't know that Loris was already dead.
Her mind was filled with thoughts of personally capturing this person and forcing them to reveal Loris's secrets.
Of course, she wasn't being careless either, as she stopped two passing security personnel.
"You two, co with ."
Seeing Lilith summon them, the two security guards clearly recognized her identity.
"Yes, Lady Lilith."
And so, Lilith brought the two security guards and followed Yu Yuan's scent all the way to the lowest level of the underground laboratory.
"Lady Lilith, this is our server room and pipeline area. The environnt is sowhat harsh, you..."
One security guard appropriately reminded her.
Lilith raised her eyebrows slightly and was about to speak when her gaze suddenly focused, looking toward the direction of a nearby corridor.
She saw a woman wearing a black robe, black veil, with a tall, slender figure, excellent proportions, like a supermodel walking over.
The woman's eyes were sharp and indifferent, as if nothing could capture her attention.
She walked slowly to the three of them with a powerful presence and a sharp, efficient deanor.
"What? Have you found anything unusual?"
The security guard imdiately replied: "Lady Zoe, Lady Lilith seems to have discovered sothing..."
Hearing this, Zoe's gaze turned to Lilith.
"Lilith, head of Nightingale, Senior Animal Tar of the mutated King Cobra..." Zoe ntally reviewed Lilith's information, seeming to rember sothing.
"Lady Lilith, I'm Zoe. Would it be convenient for to accompany you for inspection? After all, the task my teacher gave is to eliminate intruders."
Hearing Zoe's respectful words, Lilith chuckled lightly.
"So you're the new student Lord Miller took in! Actually, I just wanted them to show around the underground server room passages. After all, the Snake King is still undergoing treatnt, and I have nothing better to do. Thinking this place might be likely to hide enemies, I ca to take a look."
Lilith was sowhat reluctant internally, as her real purpose was to investigate Loris's situation.
"Hmm~~ Lady Lilith's reasoning makes perfect sense, then let's go together! I've actually been quite curious about the Nightingale that Lady Lilith manages and wanted to chat with you..."
"Chat with about Nightingale?" Lilith looked at the other with so surprise, but saw sowhat sincere eyes. After hesitating for a mont, she nodded slightly.
Since things had reached this point, she didn't want to offend this favorite student of Miller the Missionary.
So the group of four entered the underground server room passage. Because only minimal power was maintained, the lighting here was sowhat dim.
Hiss... hiss...
Zoe watched Lilith's constantly flickering snake tongue, her eyes narrowing slightly.
"She really underwent genetic modification too, and snake-type modification at that. It seems she's tracking the intruder's trail through residual scents in the air."
Soon, the two security personnel looked at Lilith and Zoe.
"Ladies, we'll go scout ahead now... If you need to change direction, you can just tell us."
As they spoke, the two had already consciously moved to a position five ters ahead, raising their weapons and entering a guarded state.
And Lilith also detected that the intruder was not far from them.
"Right side!"
Following Lilith's direction, the two security guards imdiately changed direction and entered the right underground passage.
tal pipes crisscrossed above everyone's heads in the passage, winding and twisting, with so pipes connected together in clusters, densely packed.
"Be careful, he's right ahead. Keep him alive, I need him."
As Lilith's words fell, they finally rounded a corner and saw a figure crouching at the server room entrance about twenty ters away.
Seeing their arrival, Yu Yuan looked up. As the four clearly saw his appearance, he also saw the four of them, especially Lilith among them, imdiately understanding what was happening.
He also realized where that venomous snake-like sense of danger ca from.
Having identified the source of the danger, and with the other side having only four people, Yu Yuan imdiately showed them a faint smile.
The next mont, a grenade had already been thrown by Yu Yuan toward Lilith and the other three.
"Grenade!"
Everyone present was a seasoned veteran. The mont they saw the grenade being thrown, they had already turned and lunged toward the passage corner behind them.
Several gunshots also rang out in the passage, and with the sound of light bulbs shattering, the passage plunged into complete darkness.
Boom...
The explosion along with shrapnel filled the passage. Lilith was the first to rise and check.
Her pupils had completely transford into snake-like slits, and the dark environnt had no effect on her.
Because her eyes possessed thermal sensing vision, essentially thermal imaging.
In Lilith's field of view, the two security guards in front of her lay fallen, with large amounts of red heat sources spreading rapidly beneath them.
And a red human-shaped heat source appeared in her vision, about twenty ters ahead.
Hiss...
Lilith's snake tongue continuously flickered out, and a pistol had already appeared in her hand.
"Damn bastard..."
But before Lilith could finish her words, a short blade had already pierced her throat from behind, while simultaneously Yu Yuan's bullet penetrated her heart area...
