Chapter 91: Chapter 9 Ye SoYoon-6
Alice, who had always thought that SoYoon was cold, realized that right now, her tone was very warm. The temperature difference made Alice remember the last memory she had before she had passed out.
She remembered the researchers' eyes full of madness and ecstasy as they had witnessed her healing abilities, she remembered the rough touch of them forcing pills into her resisting mouth, she remembered the fear she felt as she realized that there was no one to help her and that there wasn't anyone who even felt pity for her.
Her body trembling, she stood up. Suddenly, she realized that she didn't have any clothes on. If she continued like this, that girl would leave her here. Then, she would be stuck here all alone. Alice became desperate.
”Wa, wait! I'm coming too! Bu, but, um... clothes...”
”There isn't anyone here interested in your naked body.”
Alice got angry at her sarcastic tone, but when she heard the sound of SoYoon leaving, Alice ran over desperately towards her. Through the broken wall, she could see SoYoon's back.
Her body was splattered with blood here and there and was also unclothed. How many men had she been naked around that she was so nonchalant about this? As Alice muttered to herself, she realized that SoYoon had gotten farther away.
Alice hesitated, not knowing what to do. Finally, she stepped into the hallway. She covered her chest and lower body with her long hair and tiptoed after SoYoon.
After they had been walking for a couple of minutes, a girl shot out to attack SoYoon. SoYoon moved away quickly to avoid the girl's knife, then swung at her exposed neck with her sword. As the head detached from the body, SoYoon was sprayed with blood.
As a result of all the people, including SoYoon, who had sought to protect Alice, even though she had spent a long time in Wonderland, she had not truly been exposed to such a scene this up-close and personal. Alice turned blue as she stepped backward. Then she tripped over her own feet and fell hard onto her backside.
SoYoon was too busy observing her surroundings to pay attention to whether Alice had fallen down or not. A few feet away, she felt a presence in the hallway. They were coming towards the two of them. One of them felt familiar to her.
SoYoon tried to hide her presence and moved towards them. Eventually, she got close enough to hear what the voices were saying. The surveillance camera, the violent actions of the white-haired experiment, Alice Liddell, etc. After listening to the parts of the conversation, SoYoon was able to figure out why the researchers had taken this into their own hands.
SoYoon had been destroying any surveillance cameras she had seen along the way to find Alice. Unable to track where their precious Alice had gone, they were moving quickly to get a handle on the situation.
She gripped her weapons tightly and charged at them. The busily walking researchers screamed at her as she popped out at them suddenly.
”Get her!”
At the command of one of the researchers, the experiments who they had brought along as guards started to attack SoYoon. As expected of the highest elites, the experiments they used as guards were the best of the best.
Some even looked familiar to SoYoon. One was a man that had grown exponentially taller since she'd last seen him 4 years ago. As their knives made contact with each other, SoYoon said to the man in a quiet voice,
”What are you so afraid of that you are staying here?”
The gigantic man hesitated. A girl half his size had broken through and escaped. Her signal had been interrupted afterward, so the researchers assumed she had died and had told the other experiments as much. ”Look, this is the end you will meet if you leave this research facility.”
Right now, they were inside the research facility. This meant that they had not been forced to eat the poison they had to take when they left this place, and because they had to fight against SoYoon, they were unchained. The girl that they had assumed was dead because of the lost signal was alive and well in front of them. There seemed to be a way to block the brand's power as well.
This meant that, right now, there was nothing to stop him. He came to the conclusion quickly. SoYoon's voice had been small, but it wasn't quiet enough that the re-engineered experiments could not hear her. Each of her attackers came to a halt. In each of their minds, they had quickly reached the same conclusion as the man.
The research facility. Pain. Escape. Freedom. They quickly agreed with each other as the idea rippled through them.
At that moment, SoYoon said something to close the final deal. ”Today, I'm going to destroy this place.”
At the same time, all the experiments' movements slowed. The researchers reacted sensitively to this and exclaimed angrily, ”What are you doing! Capture Alice Liddell first! You can get the white head later! No, just kill her!”
The reason the researchers had captured her was to figure out how she had stopped the signal from being emitted from her brand. But they had figured out that it was the patch that allowed her to do this. This meant that they no longer had any need of her.
But even at the researcher's commands, the experiments not only failed to attack, but their power over them slowly started to fade.
SoYoon passed the hesitating experiments and walked toward the researchers. The researchers, getting desperate, attacked her using magic which she was easily able to maneuver around. Compared to her previous opponents who had been agents, their attacks were too slow and weak to have any effect over her. As elites who enjoyed work at a desk, their lives warranted little practice when it came to perfecting attack spells.
However many times they attacked, they couldn't get a scratch on her. And as she came closer, they became enraptured by fear. Among them, there were those who became weak in the knees and collapsed. There were others who screamed at her that she was a monster. What happened next flew by in a blur.
They were all wiped out by the weapon they had created.
SoYoon looked at the last researcher standing, an old man. He backed up into the wall and muttered pleadingly, ”Save... save me...”
