Chapter Eighty-Nine: Isabella's Past
'yes, I was. It seems that he was once regarded as a hero. β
Isabella's memories welled up in her mind when she had just completed her IISO Starter training.
"Wow, it's the Eagle Factor! It's so rare, I just want her! β
"Miss Olivia, you really have a vision, Isabella is the strongest starter in our IISO training! With speed, attack, and vision, it is a rare super strong compound starter that can detect and melee combat. β
Isabella, dressed in the standard white starter attire of the IISO, stood in place, her face expressionless as she swept over the girl in front of her and the distribution director of the IISO Washington branch.
"Uh-huh!" Olivia nodded, seemingly agreeing with what the director said, "Such an all-round starter is in line with my Olivia's identity." β
"Of course," the director said with a flattering smile, "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have let Isabella come out, she's the best seed in our batch, and she will easily hit the top 100 of the IISO rankings in the future, and even have a chance to compete with the two who killed the zodiac."
If you choose her as your starter in advance, you will only need 10 million US dollars and 1 ton of gold metal. β
Ovilla frowned, and the Director's heart lifted with it.
"Ten million is no problem, one ton of gold metal is too outrageous, at most one ton of gold ore."
"Oh, you're kidding, how much metal can be refined from a ton of ore ore. To tell the truth, as long as we report Isabella's information, there will definitely be a lot of civilian security companies to buy her, and we will train her as the top starter in the IISO region. β
The girl with curly blond hair fell into deep thought.
Isabella, with her head down, pouted, there were quite a few people who had come to see her these days, but they were all scared away by the director's insatiable offer.
According to the rules of the IISO, starters like her are randomly assigned to civilian security companies that lack manpower after training, rather than being "sold" in the form of "auctions" like this.
"Add three tons of glue, and there is no way to add more." Olivia held out her hand and gestured to a three.
"Oops" the director weighed in his heart, and his face showed reluctance, "That's it, who made Miss Olivia your reputation big, and if you were someone else, it wouldn't be this price." β
'Stupid,' Isabella snorted coldly in her heart, "Yesterday that person only produced six hundred pounds of ore. β
In just three days, the smiling blonde curly-haired girl brought Isabella back to the company, more of a home than a company.
In close proximity to the political center of America, Maiden Olivia owns an entire apartment building.
No wonder they were deceived. Isabella looked up at the tall apartment building, no expression on her little face.
"Little Isabella, from today onwards, you will be my 'Ovilla' partner!" After entering the apartment, the girl was excited, turned around and stared at Isabella, "Let's work hard to restore the glory of the former family!" β
It's not the Middle Ages, where is there so much family glory. Isabella complained and was worried about her future.
However, this seemingly clumsy facilitator is really rich, and the various expenses on certain commissioned tasks even exceed the amount of rewards for the tasks, which also makes Isabella extremely relaxed.
Isabella has all the best weapons and equipment available on the market.
Outside the Megalith, D.C., Isabella pilots a helicopter gunship when a missile containing a high concentration of adometal blasts through a Stage 3 mechant.
Well, this missile is worth at least ten times as much as the job pay.
βYesοΌβ Ovilla exclaimed: "Little Isabella is awesome! Let me think that tonight we should celebrate the successful completion of our thirty-fifth mission! β
The corners of Isabella's mouth, which was piloting a helicopter gunship, were slightly hooked, and she gradually got used to this kind of life.
Compared to the partners of the starters in the same period, her partners are much, much better.
Outside the Washington branch of IISO.
Olivia walked out of the building humming a minor tune and waved at Isabella with the slip in her hand, "Little Isabella, guess what your erosion rate is this time?" β
Isabella looked straight at Olivia.
Olivia was repelled by the silver-haired Lori's eyes, "Okay, okay, the erosion rate is the same as last time, and it hasn't risen." However, although IISO didn't find any problems, I did find a problem~"
Isabella's heart tightened.
"The problem I found is." Ovilla pulled into a tone and said, "Little Isabella, don't keep her face tight like an adult all day long, you have to smile more." Come on, give me a smile now! β
Isabella turned around and walked away.
"Huh! Huh! Wait for me! I'm your partner! β
In the spring they eliminated the infected people in the Washington metropolitan area, in the summer they participated in the encirclement operation of Phase 4 outside the megalith, in the fall they went to Berlin, Germany to participate in the battle, and in the winter they worked with the civil security and army of New York State to stop the tide of beasts landing on the coast.
The international rankings of the two continued to rise, 680008-260809-18748 to the IP ranking: "177".
"I didn't expect that after completing the Beast Tide mission commission, our ranking would rise so high! Not only did it enter the top 300, but it also reached an astonishing 177 ranks! Olivia was like a chicken, "Next time, let's break into the top 100!" β
"Hmm~" After speaking, Olivia shook her head again, "This ranking is good enough, it's better not to go any further, our reputation has already broken out, so that's enough"
Isabella looked strangely at Olivia, who was talking to herself, her partner was excited and lost, as if she had gone insane too many times, but this time, it was noticeably more depressed.
"What's wrong?" Isabella jumped out of her chair, "Isn't it good that we continue to get stronger?" β
"Well, how do you say that," Ovilla thought for a moment, wrapping his right index finger around the long hair at his shoulder, "I've heard my father's friend say that almost all of those who rank in the top 100 have 'realms'. β
"Domain?" Isabella was stunned, it was the first time she had heard the word.
"Hmph~ Little Isabella won't know, right?"
Isabella rolled her eyes, "Don't tell, I'll go to sleep." β
"Eh! Wait a minute! Ovilla grabbed Isabella, "Wait until I'm done!" I've read some papers on this, and the field of initiation is the ability to skillfully manipulate one's own gastrulation factor, which makes the mastery of ability one step further.
You know, the difference between the initiator and ordinary people is in the gastrulation factor, the reason why you are so strong, in addition to the acquired exercise, depends on the internal factor, well. There is a paper that says that the closer you are to the gastrulation, the more capable the initiator is.
I don't want little Isabella to make you an aragonolith, or soft little Isabella is comfortable to hold, hehe~"
ββββββ
"Why is little Isabella unhappy today? Let my sister see which nasty guy is messing with our lovely Isabella? β
Olivia squeezed into the couch where Isabella was sitting and looked at the screen of her laptop, which was a civilian security forum established by IISO, and on the personal chat page, there were chats between Isabella and her former partners at IISO.
It's just that the last chat time was fixed half a month ago.
"Trianne is dead." Isabella said.
"Trianne?" Olivia frowned and said cautiously, "Is it the little friend who played well with you?" That cute kid who came to our house before? β
"Well, we met before the same IISO training, and she joined the 'Pit Viper Civil Security Company' at the end of the training."
"She," Olivia said, "how did she die?" β
"Eyewitness initiators claim that she was bitten by a large number of gastrulations while trying to buy time for the facilitators to escape, and shot herself when she was about to gastrated."
"How can her facilitator be like this!" Olivia hugged Isabella, whose little face was slightly pale, and gently touched her little head, "I will never let little Isabella be behind me, I will always stand with little Isabella." β
Olivia seemed to feel that this was not enough to relieve her anger, so she simply stood up and said with a firm gaze: "Little Isabella, look at my sister's, is it a pit viper civilian security company?" I'm going to make little Trianne's promoters feel remorse! So he can't do this anymore! β
"Don't." Isabella grabbed the corner of Olivia's clothes, bowed her head and said, "Don't go, that's Trian's own choice." β
Time is silent.
As she spent more time in the civil security industry, Isabella felt more and more reliable Olivia, and most of her fellow starters died on the battlefield of the original intestines.
Some of them are willing to give their lives for the facilitator, while others are casually discarded by the facilitator as a tool, and there are many avatars on the list of friends on her forum account that will never light up again.
As time went on, Isabella learned more and more about Olivia.
Olivia's family, before the Protozoan War, was a legislator in the state of Louisiana in America, and she could have lived a carefree childhood, following the path arranged by her parents to become an elite in the human world.
But the intestinal animal war destroyed everything, when the war broke out, her parents were trading in the Russian Federation, but they were accidentally infected with the Libra virus, and after returning to their hometown, they transmitted the virus to others and finally contracted a strange disease and died painfully.
Olivia, who went to school in Washington, D.C., escaped the catastrophe, and her dream changed to become a promoter of the hunting of protozoa, and as soon as she became an adult, she inherited the family fortune and began to register a civilian security company and choose a starter.
'Libra' Ever since she learned about Olivia's past, Isabella has always flipped through the forums to find out everything she can about Libra.
'Libra, which has gathered hundreds of thousands of DNA to evolve, can synthesize tens of thousands of viruses in the body with humans as the host, and the viruses are not affected by the magnetic field of the megalith, are not afraid of ultraviolet radiation, and can be infected even if they are contaminated with the skin.'
Faced with a perverted Libra, Isabella has no clue.
One day, Isabella saw Ovilla staring at the computer screen, her pretty face was flushed and pale, and beads of sweat oozed from her forehead.
Isabella walked around the back, the eagle factor giving her vision, allowing her to see everything on the computer screen clearly.
"It is suspected that one of the zodiacs 'Libra' has appeared in the Sendai area of Yingzhou!"
In the photograph covered with morning mist, the giant leech full of oppressive force in the extreme distance lifts its upper body high, and its ring-shaped limbs that resemble earthworms emit an eerie red glow, and around it, the morning fog is also dyed by the virus to a scalp-tinging yellow-brown color.
After a while, Isabella saw Ovilla reluctantly close the news page, and for the first time, she had always been strong, showed her fragility like a little daughter.
"Go ahead." Isabella came to Ovilla's side and said indifferently: "If you don't find its weakness, how can you kill it." β
Ovilla's eyes burst into light, and then quickly dimmed, shaking his head and saying, "No, if you get close to it, you will be infected, our strength is not enough"
Isabella looked like a scholar with her hands on her chest, and calmly recounted: "The reason why Trianne and I became the initiators is simple, we want to eat and sleep well, even if we can only enjoy it for a few months, it is better than living in the sewers all day and being beaten as street rats. β
Olivia was stunned for a moment and said, "Isn't there a welfare home for the cursed son?" How much can you kids want? I remember that the government allocated a lot of money every year. β
Isabella said indifferently: "Among the caring people who fight for the rights of the 'Cursed Son', some people just want to use this status to do business, at least this is the case in the welfare home where Trian and I stay, the old man who is still a pervert and will experiment with us every night with iron tongs and wires. β
Olivia said angrily, "How can he do this! Which welfare institution is he from? Little Isabella, why did you never tell me? β
"Then in one of his experiments, he succeeded in getting one of our partners to have their original intestines, and then our partner who had become an aragonzo suddenly opened his mouth wide, and just like that, he took a bite and bit off the old man's head.
Later, the orphanage was disbanded, and Trianne and I didn't want to go to another orphanage, so we ran out. Living in the sewers for a few months, picking up some things from the trash cans in restaurants every night to eat, and fighting for turf with homeless people and blacks all day long.
We couldn't stand it anymore so we ran to IISO, but we didn't expect that the talent of the two of us was not bad, but unfortunately Trian didn't enjoy the good life for long, and died. I think her facilitators treat her well, and when she used to come to our house, she would always tell me how good her facilitators were.
Now that I think about it, Trian just gave her life to live a normal life. β
Olivia hugged Isabella and tried to reassure her, "Little Isabella, live well with my sister, I won't be like Trian's promoter."
"No," Isabella said solemnly, pushing Olivia away, "don't you understand?" My wish is similar to that of Tellanne, I became the Initiator to live a better life, and now that wish has come true.
What about you? Olivia, why did you become a facilitator? β
