Forerunner Institute.

Not so long ago.

Number 8 recently got a new name.

Lilith, she didn't understand the meaning of the name, but knew that if Daddy said the word, she would have to react, otherwise punishment would come.

Latona walked into the cell.

This room has a soft little bed and warm pink walls.

Cute dolls piled together, but No. 8 never played with it once.

Latona left the food in the doorway, and there were several floors of doors behind her to separate the room, so that in the event of a monster riot, the Precursor Institute would be able to ensure minimal cost.

Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for a management like Latona to deliver food, and this kind of work is done by cheap labor.

But she insisted on doing it herself, and no one but Garrett could stop her decision.

Latona thought for a moment, picked up the tray again, and opened the door directly.

Shapeshifters like this don't have a fixed form, and there won't be any holes in the door of the cell.

She walked in and put the food on the ground.

"Energy is conserved, and if you don't eat, you'll get tired sooner or later. ”

No. 8 looked indifferent and didn't say a word.

Latona didn't say much, after all, she didn't have any responsibility to save her.

She's only here to find a cure for her daughter, these things......

There was nothing she could do.

Humans are weak.

Weak enough to save only one person.

Latona walked outside and stopped at the doorway:

"It's Sunday, and the director is going to see you. ”

Number 8 turned his head towards the wall.

Latona sighed:

"Don't turn into liquid like last week, he, your dad is a madman, he will do anything to satisfy himself, all the struggles are useless......"

Before he could finish speaking, Number 8 turned into a puddle of viscous liquid with a strange texture.

Latona shook her head and left the room.

Wait for Latona to leave for a while.

Hearing footsteps, Driven by fear, No. 8 reverted to the appearance of a little girl.

Syllable!

Garrett pushed the door open.

Number 8 immediately stood up and stepped back in a panic until there was no way out.

Garrett smiled dotingly:

"Lilith, what's wrong?"

Number 8 did not answer, looking at him timidly.

Garrett stepped forward quickly, pressed the girl's shoulders directly and shouted:

"I ask you, what's wrong!"

Number 8 opened his mouth.

Garrett grabbed No. 8 and slammed her against the wall, causing her body to turn blue and purple.

"What do I ask you, children are not allowed to ignore their parents!"

Garrett suddenly said anxiously:

"What's wrong, how you're hurt, Lilith, show Daddy. ”

Garrett stood up and said in a panic:

"I'll go get the potion now. ”

He literally rushed out like a nervous father, leaving 8 alone here.

Rumble!

A storm of energy accompanied by the sound, shattering all glass and parts of the walls.

"Abnormal energy reaction, what's going on?" a frightened cry rang out.

At the center of this storm, brilliant colors shine together.

The storm faded, leaving only a heroic woman in metal armor.

Latona looked at the feedback from the instrument:

"Most of the safeguards are failing, what happened?"

Garrett slowly got up from the ground and said calmly:

"Look at the energy waveform, it's someone transmitting. ”

Latona raised her voice:

"How could it be! ”

Garrett patted the dust off his body:

"Let me go meet the guests. ”

Latona stayed where she was and watched the man desperately walk towards the center of the storm.

It's like a madman.

The silver-white armor on the Valkyrie reflected the light of the moon, the white horse under the god shook its mane, swaying frost and morning dew, the blood-red cloak on the silver helmet moved with the wind, and countless dead people dyed this blood-colored battle flag, with nine-colored feathers pinned to the helmet, and both hands carried spears and round shields made of light.

Garrett cleared his throat:

"This guest, I'm Garrett, the director of this institute, do you have anything to do?"

Valkyrie's voice was as intoxicating as heaven:

"Shapeshifter, I want the best. ”

Garrett was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly said:

"The best shapeshifter we've got here is Number 1, and it's right ......"

The Valkyrie's cold voice sounded:

"Liars. ”

Garrett sneered:

"It's the best product we can sell, how much are you going to pay......?

When the Valkyrie heard the word money, she turned her head and looked at Garrett:

"Your soul is filthy. ”

Garrett smiled:

"Intruding on someone like you ......"

She raised her spear of light and tapped Garrett on his forehead at a speed invisible to the naked eye.

Garrett exploded, and his body and soul were blown to the ground.

She glanced in the direction where Number 8 was, hesitated for a moment, and then looked in the direction of Number 1.

"Enough. Valkyrie muttered to herself.

And at this moment, on the other side of the building, a tall and thin figure of miserable white was quietly leaving a broken corner.

No. 8 watched in amazement at the place where the miserable white figure disappeared.

"What are you waiting for?" Latona's voice came from behind her.

The female assistant's clothes were in tatters, but her eyes were extremely determined.

Number 8 asked:

"Can I escape?"

Latona did not answer her question:

"Run, run, don't stop, get out of the city, get out of the country, he'll be back soon. ”

Number 8 looked at the place where the sunlight was leaking in, and lost his mind for a moment.

"Run!" Latona shouted.

No. 8 lifted his foot and moved forward step by step, getting faster and faster, running more and more steadily.

Latona just watched as she disappeared from her eyes.

The woman picked up a cigarette and took a deep breath.

"Crazy world, I'm crazy too. She exhaled the smoke and shook her head with a wry smile.

People are often too cowardly in this life to be worthy of saving only one person.

But some people are different, and they muster up courage.
