What aunt? They are obviously sisters.

After the pursuit on Messiah Island ended, Li Ming and Ayako took a short break in an underground shelter hidden somewhere in the north.

This military relic buried deep in the mountains is like a corner forgotten by time. The ancient stone walls are covered with moss, and the humid air is filled with an old smell. This was once a secret point carefully arranged by Li Ming during many years of operations, with enough weapons and resources for the two to take a break.

Li Ming and Lingzi walked into the shelter tiredly, their figures looked a little hunched in the dim light. Li Ming's face had a few shallow scars, which were marks left by the battle. His eyes revealed a trace of fatigue, but more of determination and vigilance. Lingzi's hair was a little messy, her eyes were full of worries, and she held a pistol tightly in her hand, as if it was her only support.

"Finally, I can take a break." Ayako said softly, with a hint of fatigue in her voice.

Li Ming did not speak, he just looked at the surrounding environment silently, his heart was full of vigilance. He knew that although they had temporarily escaped the enemy's pursuit, the danger was not far away.

Inside the shelter, there were all kinds of weapons and equipment. Maps and action plans were hung on the walls, and the tables were piled with documents and communication equipment. Although it was simple, it gave people a sense of security.

Li Ming walked to a table, picked up a document, and flipped through it carefully. The document recorded the data they brought out from the Messiah Island laboratory. The complex genetic maps and experimental records made him frown.

"After reorganization, these gene sequences can greatly enhance human body functions, but the side effects are huge," Ayako whispered, holding a lab report in her hand, with anger in her tone.

Ayako's eyes were filled with anger towards the Freemasons. She couldn't imagine how these people could treat humans so cruelly. Her fingers tightly grasped the report, as if she wanted to crush it.

"Not only are they experimenting on living humans, they're also creating so-called 'transformed warriors,'" Ayako continued, her voice thick with disgust.

"Victor is just the tip of the iceberg." Li Ming spoke slowly. His eyes were as cold as ice, as if they could freeze the air around them.

Li Ming's mind flashed with Victor's cold smile. He knew that this man was just a small role in the Freemasonry's huge plan. His eyes fell on the document, and his heart was filled with worry.

"From these data, it can be seen that the real plan of Freemasonry is far more far-reaching than we imagined. The core of the 'God's Gene' plan is Sakura Yuki Chikage." Li Ming's voice was low and powerful, as if telling a heavy secret.

"Sakura Yuki Chikage?" Ayako was stunned for a moment. Her eyes were full of doubts, as if she was unfamiliar with this name.

Then, Ayako suddenly realized something. There was a flash of surprise in her eyes, as if she understood something.

"You mean she is not only an experimental subject, but also the leader?" Ayako asked, her voice full of doubt.

Li Ming nodded, his voice low. His eyes were filled with complex emotions towards Ying Xue Qian Ying, vigilance and a hint of curiosity.

"Her genetic sequence is the prototype of the project. Victor and the Freemasons used her to make a series of modified warriors. If the documents are true, she may have completed genetic evolution herself." Li Ming said, his voice full of worry.

Ayako clenched the documents in her hand, frowning slightly. Her eyes were full of thought, as if she was trying to understand this complicated situation.

"So what is she pursuing? Why would she get involved in such a thing?" Ayako asked, her voice full of confusion.

Li Ming was silent for a few seconds, then turned to look at the map on the wall. The map marked various locations and action plans, which was their roadmap for the fight against the Freemasons.

"Yingxue Qianying is not just a pawn. Her purpose is far more unfathomable than what we can see." Li Ming said, his voice full of vigilance.

Just as the two were lost in thought, the shelter's alarm suddenly sounded. The piercing sound echoed in the narrow space, as if it was a declaration of death. The warning light was spinning overhead, and the red light was reflected on the wall, as if blood had smeared the entire room.

"There's an intruder!" Ayako quickly pulled out her pistol and rushed to the surveillance screen, her eyes locked on the scene on the screen. Her eyes were full of vigilance, and she held the gun tightly in her hand.

The surveillance showed that the shelter's external defense system was easily cracked. A familiar figure appeared in front of the entrance. She was wearing a silver-white combat uniform, without any weapons in her hands, and her eyes were as cold as a knife.

"It's her..." Li Ming's voice was low and alert, his eyes fixed on the figure on the screen. His eyes were full of vigilance, as if he saw a powerful enemy.

Ayako looked back in shock. Her eyes were full of surprise and fear, as if she had seen an incredible scene.

"Sakurayuki Chikage?! How dare she come here alone?" Ayako asked, her voice full of suspicion.

"She doesn't need anyone else." Li Ming slowly stood up and put the communicator on his waist, with a cold murderous look in his eyes. His eyes were full of vigilance, as if he was ready for a fierce battle.

"She is dangerous enough alone." Li Ming said, his voice full of vigilance towards Sakura Yuki Chikage.

The outer door of the shelter was slowly pushed open, and a piercing cold wind poured in, bringing with it a certain invisible sense of oppression. The cold wind seemed to be the breath of death, making people shudder.

Ying Xue Qian Ying stood outside the door, her silver hair fluttering in the wind, her eyes cold and with a hint of teasing. Her figure seemed particularly lonely in the cold wind, as if she was a messenger from hell.

She looked up at the surveillance camera and raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and her voice came clearly through the loudspeaker.

"Li Ming, I guess you won't keep me waiting for long, right?" Yingxue Qianying's voice was full of confidence and provocation, as if she had everything under control.

"It's her." Ayako cursed softly, holding the pistol tightly. Her eyes were full of vigilance, as if she was ready to shoot at any time.

"How did she know this place? Are we exposed?" Ayako asked, her voice full of worry.

Li Ming responded calmly. His eyes were full of thought, as if he was analyzing the situation.

"She didn't guess, she deliberately led us here. Victor is the bait, she is the real trap." Li Ming said, his voice full of vigilance.

Ayako's eyes were filled with confusion and thought, as if she was trying to understand this complicated situation.

"Then what should we do? Fight or retreat?" Ayako asked, her voice full of worry.

Li Ming did not answer, but pulled out the pistol from his waist and pushed open the inner door to the command room. His eyes were full of determination and resolve, as if he was ready for a fierce battle.

"Retreat? I've been waiting for this moment for too long." Li Ming said, his voice full of confidence and provocation.

Ayako was startled, then followed his steps. Her eyes were full of trust and determination, as if she was ready to face this powerful enemy together with Li Ming. "Are you sure you want to fight her head-on?" Ayako asked, her voice full of worry.

"She's not here to fight." Li Ming's eyes were complicated and his tone was cold. His eyes were full of thought, as if he was analyzing Sakura Yuki Chikage's purpose.

"She is here to tell the truth." Li Ming said, his voice full of vigilance.

Fateful confrontation

When Li Ming walked out of the central hall of the shelter, Ying Xue Qian Ying was standing in the middle of the hall, like a cold statue. Her figure looked particularly lonely in the dim light, as if she was a person forgotten by the world.

She looked at Li Ming who was approaching slowly with a mixture of contempt and curiosity in her eyes, as if everything was under her control. Her eyes were full of confidence and provocation, as if she had already taken control of everything.

"Li Ming," she said softly, her voice echoing in the empty hall. The voice seemed like a call from hell, making people shudder.

"Finally, I meet you." Sakura Yuki Chikage's voice was full of confidence and provocation, as if she had been waiting for a long time.

"You are very brave to come here alone." Li Ming's voice was as cold as a knife, and the gun in his hand was pointed at her steadily. His eyes were full of vigilance, as if he was ready to shoot at any time.

"Tell me, what do you want to do?" Li Ming asked, his voice full of vigilance and suspicion.

Ying Xue Qianying smiled slightly, her eyes fell on Li Ming. Her eyes were full of confidence and provocation, as if she had already taken control of everything.

"If I say I'm here to help you, would you believe me?" Sakura Yuki Chikage asked, her voice full of confidence and provocation.

"Help me?" Li Ming sneered, and his fingers tightened slightly. His eyes were full of suspicion and vigilance, as if he didn't believe what Ying Xue Qianying said.

"A person who has caused countless killings with his own hands will come to help me?" Li Ming asked, his voice full of suspicion and vigilance.

Ying Xue Qian Ying ignored his ridicule, but raised her head and looked directly at him. Her eyes were full of determination and confidence, as if her words were true.

"Li Ming, your mother died because of Freemasonry. You have been looking for the truth, but all you found was the surface. I came to tell you the whole truth." Yingxue Qianying said, her voice full of confidence and provocation.

"Enough!" Li Ming interrupted with a flash of pain in his eyes. His eyes were full of pain and anger, as if Ying Xue Qianying's words touched the pain in his heart.

"Don't use my mother as an excuse, you don't know anything at all--" Li Ming said, his voice full of anger and pain.

"I know." Ying Xue Qian Ying said calmly, with a firm tone. Her eyes were full of confidence and provocation, as if she already knew everything.

"She didn't die because of mission failure, nor because of betrayal as you thought, but because of... you." Sakura Yuki Chikage said, her voice full of confidence and provocation.

This sentence was like a bolt of lightning, hitting Li Ming hard. His hands trembled slightly, and shock and anger flashed in his eyes. His eyes were full of pain and anger, as if Ying Xue Qianying's words touched the pain in his heart.

"You're talking nonsense!" Li Ming said, his voice full of anger and pain.

"The final experiment of the Freemasons is not aimed at her, but at you." Ying Xue Qianying slowly approached, with a hint of coldness in her tone. Her eyes were full of confidence and provocation, as if she already knew everything.

"The power in you is not innate, but given to you deliberately by them. She died to save you from their control." Sakura Yuki Chikage said, her voice full of confidence and provocation.

The atmosphere in the hall became extremely solemn. Li Ming's breathing became rapid, and the veins on his forehead throbbed slightly. His eyes were full of pain and anger, as if Ying Xue Qianying's words had touched the pain in his heart.

"This is impossible..." Li Ming said, his voice full of doubt and pain.

Ying Xue Qianying stopped and sighed softly. Her eyes were full of helplessness and sympathy, as if she understood Li Ming's pain.

"Believe it or not, the truth is right in front of you. You always thought you were hunting me, but the real enemy is the organization that makes us enemies of each other." Sakura Yuki Chikage said, her voice full of confidence and provocation.

"Enough!" Li Ming roared, raised his gun and aimed at Ying Xue Qian Ying, but he hesitated to pull the trigger. His eyes were full of pain and anger, as if Ying Xue Qian Ying's words touched the pain in his heart.

Ying Xue Qianying looked at him, the smile on her face gradually faded, and her eyes became more complicated. Her eyes were full of helplessness and sympathy, as if she understood Li Ming's pain.

"Li Ming, I give you a choice. Continue to hunt me, or join forces with me to completely overthrow Freemasonry." Yingxue Qianying said, her voice full of confidence and provocation.

Her words were like an unsolvable puzzle, and Li Ming's heart was in turmoil. Ayako witnessed all this not far away, and her heart was also full of doubts and hesitation. Her eyes were full of thoughts, as if she was trying to understand this complicated situation.

There was a strong sense of tension in the air, as if every second could lead to an explosive confrontation. However, in the end, Li Ming took a deep breath and spoke coldly.

"I will keep your life until I confirm the truth." Li Ming said, his voice full of firmness and determination.

Yingxue Qianying smiled slightly, turned and walked towards the door, leaving a word.

"I hope you won't regret this decision, Li Ming." Yingxue Qianying said, her voice full of confidence and provocation.

"I hope you won't regret this decision, Li Ming." Yingxue Qianying said, her voice full of confidence and provocation.

"I hope you won't regret this decision, Li Ming." Yingxue Qianying said, her voice full of confidence and provocation.

"I hope you won't regret this decision, Li Ming." Yingxue Qianying said, her voice full of confidence and provocation.

With her departure, the shelter returned to peace, but Li Ming's heart was in turmoil. (End of this chapter)
