9 o'clock in the evening is the best time for business in the commercial street entertainment city, the shops are brightly lit, and the streets and alleys are full of people. In contrast, this TV tower near Mondogama TV is simply a shadow in the sun. It is located in a small wooded area and is run north and south by brick paths. As soon as it was dark, there was only some light under the TV tower, and the woods were dark.

Kane, who had come to the appointment, walked cautiously down the path to the bottom of the tower with blood in his hand, and soon saw the man standing there, Klein, who had been waiting for a long time.

"It's so punctual."

Klein took two steps towards Kane. Kane stepped up and kept his distance five paces away, the weeping blood on his waist peeking out of the scabbard, just waiting for his master's order to attack at any time.

"Tell me what you know, don't hide it."

"Of course, I know it, and I'll tell you all."

*****

Schubelez's car drove wildly, and it took only half of yesterday for Terr's house to come into view, along with the gate, the lamp in front of it, and the two guards under the lamp. Instead of slowing down, Schubertz stepped on the accelerator a little more.

The two guards saw the headlights from a distance and stepped forward to tell each other to stop. I didn't want the headlights to approach quickly, and I didn't mean to stop at all, so the two people who saw that the situation was not good quickly dodged, and watched the car crash open the gate, with a sharp brake sound, in a semicircle, across the courtyard.

Sirens followed. As soon as Schubelez got out of the car, more guards poured in from all directions, and everyone surrounded Schubelez in the middle, nervously raising their guns.

"Mr. Kalchi, as a member of the army, you will be questioned for trespassing into the director's house!"

This was said by one of the guards who had stopped Schubelez yesterday, and Schubelez did not look at the other side, he changed into the combat uniform of the second detachment, and hung a short knife behind his back and around his waist.

"Don't talk nonsense with me, call Ter out right away, or I'll break in."

"The director is meeting guests, and it's inconvenient now. If you break in, we'll have to do it! ”

The guard's warning was still ignored by Schubelez, and he pulled out the bandage wrapped around his right hand with his left hand, and ripped the bandage off in three or two strokes, and everyone couldn't help but take a few steps back. The veins of Schuberlands' right hand and forearm were clearly visible, but they were green and emitted a faint light, and there was something in them that flowed slowly like a stream of water, conspicuous and terrifying in the night.

"One last word, let Ter come out!"

Showing this hand means that Schuberez is going to move seriously, and the guards understand it. But they also have orders in their bodies, and they are in a dilemma for a while.

Impatient, Schuberuz rushed to the guard who was talking nonsense to him, and with a sweep of his right hand, a green light flashed, and the guard's gun was broken in two. The other guards, fearing accidental injury, did not shoot back immediately, but were seized by Schubelez to get close. That is, in more than ten seconds, the emerald green light streaked several tracks in the crowd, and everyone's guns were shattered into several pieces, and they fell to the ground with a bang. Without guns, the guards scattered in all directions, and Schubertz took the opportunity to run to the door.

Unable to run three steps, he suddenly stopped and leaped backwards. In the next second, a long-haired woman fell from the sky in front of her, and a sickle in her hand was smashing into the position where Schubeluz had just stood, stirring up a pile of broken stones. The sneak attack failed, the woman picked up the sickle and swept, Schubeluz pulled out the short knife behind his back to parry, and fought with the woman for seven or eight rounds, jumping backwards to open the distance.

The woman sneered, and the shadow she cast on the ground was like a pool of purple-black aperture, and one hand was inserted into the aperture. This action surprised Schubeluz. As soon as his feet touched the ground, the same circle of light appeared in the shadow he cast on the ground. Schuberoz immediately rolled forward. Four purple-black chains burst out of the aperture, and if he was half a minute slower, he would have been entangled in the chains, and he knew that the function of the chains was far from being as simple as tying people.

Turning to attack, Schuberuz charged at a brisk pace, his scythe striking from his left. Schuberuz switched the knife to his left hand, and while blocking the opponent's attack, his right hand became a claw, with an emerald green light, and pounced on the woman's front door. The woman smiled, her left hand formed a claw, emitting a purple-black light, and stretched out to meet Schubelez's hand. The palms of the two were paired, and there was a bang that shook the two apart.

The hard-hitting attack made Schuberuz quite uncomfortable, his palms blackened, and there was a trace of smoke, and he was shaking. The woman looked relaxed, just shook her hand, and looked nothing unusual.

"Does it hurt?" She asked half-jokingly, "Fight EXP power, you are far from being an opponent of a superhuman being, let alone Princess Ben." ”

"Enchantress...... You're here. ”

The woman's face suddenly turned cloudy, and she was very dissatisfied with this title.

"I told you a long time ago that you are not allowed to call the code name, but you can say 'Princess Moore Bellow', or you can call Princess Princess."

"When did you get here?"

"Well, this princess did something a few days ago, and she only arrived yesterday."

"Just because you're here, does that mean Nuro is here too? Did the executioner meddle in this? ”

"Take it easy, Schubelaz, explain the questions one by one, OK?"

Schuberuz was not at all relaxed. The woman in front of her was dressed in bright white casual clothes, with a half-moon-shaped, silver-white princess crown tied to her waist with a chain. Under the long lilac hair, there is a cute and handsome face. But connecting with the scythe in her hand, which was more than a meter long and had a devil statue lying around the corner, could only make people shudder.

The thought of the executioner's presence mixed with Schubelez's anxiety and nervousness. Moore Belle saw through his mood and tilted his head slightly, casting an arrogant gaze.

"You don't have to be too nervous, Nuro and the director are talking, this princess is just a bodyguard, come with him, there are no other tasks, really."

"What is he looking for Ter?"

"There must be something."

"What's the matter? Is it related to Tarini? ”

"Hey, guess?"

Moore Belle smiled mischievously and tilted her head. Schubelez's impatience turned into anger, and he pulled out the short knife on his waist with his right hand, and the emerald green light poured into the short knife, and the blade was surrounded by emerald green light, gradually forming a layer of green hard objects on the surface, wrapping the blade. Moore Belu also had a look of despair, and the hand holding the scythe surged with purple-black energy waves, extending along the long handle to the end, and immediately expanded, turning into a sharp blade identical to the front end, turning the scythe into a double-headed scythe.

"Stop it."

Before the second round had even begun, the door was pushed open, and two people walked out. In the back was Terr, and in the front was instantly recognizable to Schubeluz: the iconic shirt, glasses, and a cold gesture - one of the field executioners of the assassination organization "Executioner", Nuro.

Moore Belle lowered his weapon: "Done?" ”

"It's all over," said Nuro, looking at Schubeluz again, "Captain of the Second Independent Action Team, Schuberez Karchi, are you coming to Ter?" ”

Schubelaz had long lost sight of his original purpose, and now he only wanted to find out why Nuro had appeared.

"What are you executors here for?"

Nuro pushed his glasses: "If you want to know, you should have promised me last year." ”

"Don't think about it, I'll never join the executioners."

"Then it's not negotiable. We're done talking, so if you have any questions, ask Tel. Gone, Moore Bellow. ”

Moore Belle whispered in agreement. Both blades of the scythe turned into purple-black energy waves, and returned to the long handle, and Moorbelu put the stick on his shoulder, and walked past Shubeluz with Nuro out of the compound. Only Schuberez and Ter were left in front of the goal.

"Come in and sit down." Tel said.

"No, you're here to tell me," Schubeltz was even more angry than he was yesterday, "what do you want to do if your phone doesn't work, and you keep your door closed, and you are hiding?" Why did the Executioners come? ”

"Because of Tarina."

"I know it's because of her, but why is she being targeted?"

"It starts with a plan."

*****

"Have you heard of Plan K?" Klein asked Kane.

"Plan K?"

"The full name is the 'Clemuya Project', in honor of one person - Mykos Clemuya."

Kane had heard Tarini mention the name more than once.

"Is that the 'authority of authority' in biology?"

"Not only in biology, but also in human science. As early as 90 years ago, he proposed to use active EXP to intervene in the fertilized egg, and use EXP as a medium to inject information into the zygote, so that a person can have certain knowledge and skills after birth.

"It's a great idea, but it's also an almost impossible idea. He failed many times, saddled with countless debts and infamy. Coupled with the later Shadow War, the EXP ban, his research path was difficult. But no matter how big the setback, the old man never gave up. In 117, he received help – full help from the world government. ”

"World Government...... Could it be the Fourth Research Institute? ”

Klein didn't answer, and continued as Kane had said. With a backer, Mycos's research has progressed rapidly. He built a laboratory in Ogran to complete what he called human transformation. As you may have heard, the laboratory was destroyed by a gang of armed men in 122, and we will not allow such inhumane experiments. ”

Kane suddenly realized that the person in front of him had an additional identity.

"Could it be that you are in the same group as those people?"

Klein smiled knowingly: "Not only that, but I was the one who killed Mycos with my own hands." ”

"What does that have to do with Tarini?"

"After all, it was our own mistake. That day in the old man's sample room, I found him hiding a shelf. At first I thought that the shelf had either been moved away or was hidden in the lab. Our investigation later revealed that the Institute had not transferred such a thing for at least a year, and I believe it had been reduced to ashes in the explosion. Unexpectedly, there would be a sample alive. ”

Everything was clear and didn't need any further elaboration, and Kane knew what he and Schuberuz wanted to know.

"The surviving specimen is ......"

"Yes, it's Tarini."

*****

Now Schuberuz understood that Tarine's knowledge was engraved in her mind before she was born. And Du Wen and Lena volunteered as part of Project K. At the first meeting at the institute that day, Du Wen concealed the truth.

"Those two know Tarini's secret, don't they?"

Tel nodded. "I don't know what they told you, but Duvin and Lena are actually from the Fourth Institute. It is impossible to find out who Tarini's father was, and her mother died six days after giving birth to her. So the institute sent these two men to act as Tarini's parents, in order to prevent her emotions from becoming abnormal prematurely, and to take the necessary protection. ”

"Is it their job to contact me?"

"Probably, I don't know about that."

Thinking of the first time he met the Duvin couple at the institute, Schuberoz showed a look of disgust, and Tel hurriedly added a few words.

"They are my friends, and I can assure you that they genuinely raised Tarini as their own child, but there are times when they can't help themselves in the institute."

"What about Tarini? Do you know your background? ”

"Yes, when she was 7 years old, the institute told her the truth."

Speaking this to a 7-year-old, Schubelaz could not imagine how Taleni had accepted it, or if Ter had told him.

"It took her three months to accept the facts, during which she tried to commit suicide countless times, but she was stopped by Doveen and Lena."

"Aren't those guys at the institute inhumane? Won't it rot this thing in the stomach? ”

"That's impossible, because it's part of the way of observing, and it's Dr. Mycoth's legacy."

Schubeluz was taken aback again. "Left by Mycous?"

"After the death of the Doctor, I was responsible for organizing the materials and notes he left behind, including the method of observing the subject, including the clause 'Explain the truth to the subject, and observe the emotional and physiological changes'. According to his method, the subject is to be isolated for one year after birth, and regular observation and quantitative EXP response experiments are to confirm that the AE system in the brain is developing normally. ”

"Wait a minute," Schubertz interrupted Terr, "AE system, isn't that ......"

"That's right, the active EXP nervous system is the prototype of the thing implanted in your right hand."

Schuberoz looked at his right hand, which was no longer smoking, a year after he joined the second detachment. His right hand was blown off in a battle, and although his life was saved, he was unable to continue in the army. But Schuberuz wanted to stay anyway, so the doctors went to Ter and asked him to find a way. At that time, Terr's research on active EXP neurons was beginning to bear fruit, and he was looking for a volunteer to experiment with it, so he agreed to Schubelez's request.

The so-called active EXP neuron, simply put, is a man-like artificial organ, also known as a dynamogen. The active EXP nervous system, or "AE system", is the active EXP nervous system, which can replace the nerve to a certain extent, which may also have the hope of recovering the arm.

Twelve hours after the injury, Schubelez underwent the operation, which had a success rate of less than 20 percent, and was lucky. Ter implanted a prototype AE system into it, allowing the hand to not only largely return to its original state, but also to have some control and generation of active EXP. Ter improved it twice more, allowing Schubelez to use it as a weapon, so that even the Mighty could fight against them.

However, the cost of implanting an AE system is significant. Schubertz had to go to Terr regularly for maintenance, because the AE system is not a normal human organ, and it may dry up and die at any point, in addition to the burden on the body. Ter has asserted that Schubelez will age earlier than normal.

"Does Tarini have that thing in her head too?"

"Not only that, it still grows naturally, not artificially transplanted, it is an original part of the body, so there are almost no side effects. But because of this, it is more difficult to control. ”

"What do you mean?"

"It's like a newborn baby lying on his back and learning to control his limbs and other muscles over time. From crawling to standing, from walking to running. In the same way, if Tarini is too young, it will be difficult to control this force, and until she reaches a certain age, the institute will closely monitor her condition and collect data. ”

A cool air swept through Schubelez's body. Thinking about what happened recently, he understood it all.

"Is that age ......?"

"Right after your birthday party, that means she's an adult."

*****

"We were ready for the attack, just waiting for her birthday." Klein concluded.

Kane found Klein's words unreasonable: "If you want Tarlenny to die, why do you have to wait until her birthday?" Does this have anything to do with you? ”

Klein smiled slyly: "You may not believe it, but the one who hired us to assassinate us was the Fourth Research Institute!" ”

Kane's eyes widened, "You say...... What ......"

"Still don't understand? Tarini was only an observation subject, the observation period was 17 years old, she was useless, she would soon be disposed of, and the removal of the guards around her was a sign. ”

Klein's words destroyed the last line of defense in Kane's heart. The Institute wants to kill Tarini because she's useless...... Killers were also hired in order to clear their own ...... Today, I called Taleni away again to ...... Do it directly?

Kane bowed his head and said nothing, and Klein knew that he had been hit hard.

"That's it. To be honest, this has nothing to do with me, but when I stepped on the spot in the past few days, I found that your kid was very interested in that girl, so I told you. ”

Before leaving, he gave another warning.

"I advise you not to go to her, I always feel that the Fourth Research Institute is not as simple as a scientific research institution. If you meddle again, you will find death. You don't think one person can solve the problem, do you? ”

"Maybe, but so what?"

Kane slowly looked up, and Klein saw a face with a determined expression.

"Tarini knew her fate, she kept refusing to tell me, she didn't want me to be involved, but in the end ......"

He pulled out the key and looked at it.

"She still wants me to save her, so I have to do it."

"Even if it's an enemy of the entire Institute, or even the world government?"

"Even if you are the enemy of the whole world!"

Kane, who had spoken harshly, ran back into the car and raced towards the institute. On the way, he didn't step on the brakes, and drove the car to the west gate of the research institute in one go, and two guards ran out of the sentry box and stopped his car.

"Stop! No entry here tonight, please come back! ”

"Are Minar and Taleni in there?" Kane, who got out of the car, carried a knife and stepped forward step by step.

"No comment, please go back."

"What area are they in?"

"I said please come back."

"I'm sorry then!"

"You're going to ...... it"

Before the guards could finish their words, they wept blood out of their sheaths and drew triangles, and the guns in the hands of the two guards shattered into several pieces. They were about to retreat, but they fell headlong - with two bloody wounds on their thighs. Kane slung the knife to one of the guards' necks, the blade pressed against his chin and his head raised.

"What area is Minar in? A car should have come in just now. ”

The guard was in unbearable pain, and he didn't dare to breathe, and if he moved a little, his neck would bloom.

"Really, I don't know, only the van drove in......"

"Van?"

Kane guessed that Minard wouldn't be going to kill Tarini right away, otherwise there would be no need to bring it here, he would still be somewhere in the institute. Just as he was thinking, the shrill alarm bell suddenly rang throughout the institute, and another guard took advantage of his inattention to sound the alarm. Kane didn't panic at all, slashed open the iron door of entry and exit, strode in, and went straight to the hospital.

He didn't go far before a group of guards approached, and Kane quickly hid in the shadows of a building, and he didn't want to kill here, so he ran from building to building while dodging the guards and lights, searching for suspicious vans.

Finally, he saw a van and three nervous guards in front of a small hospital in the West End.

Kane sprang out of the shadows, and the three guards were caught off guard, and he passed through the middle. The men saw Kane's hand move as he grabbed the hilt of the knife, and they fell to the ground with a knife in their chests and waists. Kane was about to leave, but he turned back and grabbed one of the guards by the collar.

"Where's Tarini?"

"No, I don't know......"

"Were you there when you took her, thought I didn't recognize her?"

Kane's fist slammed into the guard's face, leaving him bruised and swollen. The guards couldn't resist it, so they had to explain.

"I, I don't know, we're just guarding here. The researchers seem to have said that the operating room ......"

"Good."

Leaving the guards behind, Kane was about to go to the hospital, but after thinking about it, he gave up. He went around to the side and climbed to the top of the building along a ladder on the outer wall. He was lucky that there were no guards on the roof.

Kane had been here before, and the hospital had six floors, with only one operating room, and the southernmost side of the fourth floor. He ran on the roof of the building, and when he felt that his position was almost there, he drew his knife and jumped from the roof. When you are about to fall in front of the window on the fourth floor, you can force the knife into the wall to hang yourself in the air, then grab the edge of the window, take off the knife, and break the window into the building.

He jumped into the restroom on the fourth floor, kicked the door open, and the operating room was not far ahead. Two guards in front of the door were raising their guns at him. The moment the bullet came out, Kane's attention was highly focused, and the blood-red light from the weeping blood almost surrounded him. He easily dodged the bullet and rushed forward to swing it out, cutting the muzzle of the gun. The two guards threw away the scrap metal in their hands and fled in a hurry.

Solving the last trouble, Kane kicked open the door of the operating room, and when he entered, it was empty, and the operating table, surgical instruments and medicines were all placed in an orderly manner, and there was no trace of use.

He was wondering when another door in the operating room opened, and out of it came Minar.

"You're still here, Kane, how are you going to explain this to your superiors today?"

"I'll be responsible for my business to the end, it's a big deal! Is Tarinee here? Hand her over! ”

"Yes."

Minaar's answer surprised Kane, leaving him speechless for a moment.

"You must have come here through some way to learn about Tarini's secret, right?"

"It's not about you!"

"Well, we'll give it back to you when we're done."

Minar said, gesturing to the room he had walked out of.

"If you can take her."

With these words, Minar walked out of the operating room unhurriedly. Kane hurried into the room inside, it turned out that this was also an operating room, smaller than the outside, but with more instruments, and it was very crowded. On the operating table in the middle, Tarini in a hospital gown sits with her hair disheveled.

"Tarini, are you alright?"

Kane held Tarini's shoulders, and the girl looked up, expressionless, her eyes straight, puzzled and confused.

"Are you...... Who? ”

There was no angry voice, an octave lower than usual, a puzzled tone. Is this Tarini? Kane couldn't help frowning, it was her, but, what's going on?

"Are you...... Who ......, and ...... Who am I......"

"It's me, Kane, Kane!"

Kai...... Well, what's your name? ”

"Isn't it ...... Tarini, your memory ......"

"Tarini...... Is it my name? ”

I don't remember, I don't remember anything. Kane lost the joy he had had when he found Tarini, and stood stunned, staring at Tarina.

Is this how they "handle it"?
