Chapter 628 - The Last Hope (1/2)
While Jiang Fei grieved over Isabella's death, the Overlord from the Luminous Vatican continued with his attacks.
"What's the matter? Are you sad that she died? It's okay. You will soon join her! Hahaha…" As he laughed crazily, the Overlord began to collect a ball of Holy Light in his hands.
"Husband, run, quickly…" Seeing how Isabella died for Jiang Fei, Ariel turned to look at him. Her eyes glistened with love and unwillingness to leave Jiang Fei. However, it was also a look of determination.
Although Ariel spoke next to Jiang Fei's ear, he did not hear a single word as he was still filled with grief over Isabella's death. He only snapped out of his grieving after hearing a soft singing from beside him.
"Singing… where is it coming from?" Jiang Fei suddenly turned around. He noticed that Ariel's body was burning up in flames. The singing was coming from her.
As the song filled the air, the Holy Light in the Luminous Vatican's Overlord extinguished. Moreover, he looked as if he was in a trance and had been trapped in a state of dreaming.
"Husband, leave now. My Song of Dreams won't keep him charmed for long…" Ariel disappeared as soon as she finished speaking. However, even after she was gone, her singing could still be heard.
"No…" Jiang Fei shouted at the skies. Although his feelings for Ariel were not as great as what he had for Isabella, he still liked her. Now that Isabella and Ariel had both died, Jiang Fei felt the impact was too much to handle.
…
"Leader! There's a surprising good news! Number 35 had reached the target mark!" People were still cheering for their earlier success in the underground base north of China. However, another researcher discovered that a second set of test codes had reached their target much earlier than expected.
"Really?" The leader rushed over to the surveillance footage.
"That's amazing! With both of our experimental data points reaching the targets, our results will be even more convincing. Moreover, this proves that our direction of experimentation is correct. The success was definitely not due to coincidence!" The leader sounded awfully excited.
"Hang on! Oh no! Leader, look at this quickly!" Another programmer in charge of surveillance suddenly shouted out.
"What's the matter?" The leader was surprised. Since their experiment had already succeeded, what had gone wrong?
"Number 15's program codes had disappeared!" The programmer reported.
"How is that possible?!" The leader was dumbfounded. He instantly started checking the surveillance records.
"Oh no! Leader, Number 35's program codes had disappeared too!" Just as the leader was still going through the surveillance records, another programmer announced the bad news.
"That's impossible… Impossible…" The leader stared blankly at the surveillance footage. Only a minute ago, all of them were cheering for their own godly accomplishment. However, a minute later, the results of their hard work had disappeared into thin air. No one could bear such sudden and disastrous news.
