Chapter 88: Chapter 9 Ye SoYoon-3

The leader of the group, who looked to be middle-aged, stopped mid-command. The name that SoYoon had called out was very valuable.

The daughter of the traitor Henry Liddell, the person with a power that no one had witnessed before, Alice Liddell. The government, upper-class society, and researchers had competed vigorously to get their hands on her.

SoYoon looked straight at Alice and continued. ”This girl is Alice Liddell. The girl you've been desperately looking for with the healing powers. She's wearing a wig to disguise herself, but she can't fool me with that.”

Alice was reminded of the reason Alice had run away to Wonderland in the original story. She started to run towards the exit. But she couldn't get further than a couple of steps before she was caught.

”Let go! Let me go! No, it's not me! I'm not Alice Liddell!”

The shoddy wig was snatched off her head and fell away easily. Even though it had been pinned securely to her head, the action revealed her beautiful golden hair. Once the pins were removed, the researchers saw the same girl that they had seen in the pictures.

SoYoon administered the final blow. ”Also, another soul is living inside that body. That rare case you guys had always been going on about.”

Alice, who had been thrashing about, suddenly froze. ”You, how did you know that...”

She looked at SoYoon, her face as white as a ghost. SoYoon's eyes under her lashes curved into a smile as if looking at a lover.

”This time, let's fall into hell together, Wi GaHyun.”

When she called her by her real name, a memory crossed Alice's mind.

The brown eyes of the girl who had looked up at her from the pool of blood, and the moment their light had started to slowly fade away.

”You're... you can't be...Ye So...”

Alice lost consciousness before she could complete SoYoon's name. They used a simple fainting spell on her, then placed chains over her thin wrists and tightly tied up the rest of her body.

Feeling her eyelids getting heavier, SoYoon thought to herself that it must now be her turn.

It was. Practically asleep and no longer able to use her strength, she heard the sound of something cutting through the wind. Behind that, a piercing scream and the strong scent of blood. SoYoon was barely able to open her eyes.

The first things she saw were two legs standing on the floor, and the first things she heard were the words, ”Who the f*ck are you? Who permitted you to do this to her?”

She lifted her head a little higher. The soft sunlight that was filtering through the cracks in the building was shining onto the dark blond hair like an aura.

Tweedle Dee. When her lips twitched into a smile, Dee glanced over at her. SoYoon could see the blood-stained knife held tightly in his hand.

Dee observed his enemies. Three men in casual attire... There had originally been four. One was dead now. There were also seven men and women clad in black suits.

On both sides, he smelled something that made his mood sour. To be more exact, on one side, he smelled the arrogance of those who thought themselves to be more superior. Twins had experienced these sorts of people when they were younger. On the other side, they smelled of people who had lost their humanity.

”Hey, Blondie! Who are those punks?” As Dee asked SoYoon this question, one of the suited men ran towards him. Running at full speed, the man pulled out a knife from his back pocket and swung it quickly. Dee defended himself with his knife.

Clang! The sound of clashing metal echoed sharply through the building. Dee used all his strength to push off his enemy. However, the opposition, contrary to his frail-looking stature, had immense strength. Dee knew of someone else who was even thinner than this man that was many times stronger than even this guy.

”I think I bit off more than I can chew.”

Of all the people he could have been fighting, his opposition was one of the research facility's reengineered experiments. Dee's lips curved into a smile. He hated pain. He hated being in pain because it made him get hit even more. But if he was to back away now, he would lose SoYoon forever, and that thought spurred Dee on.
