"In the end, they didn't manage to take care of any of them,"

Veri pondered for a moment and said, "Even because of a mistake in the first link, a chain reaction of mistakes occurred in the other links."

"The failure to eliminate our 'Twilight Society' ultimately led to the ability of mechs to participate in the battle against the Sky Beasts."

"The failure to assimilate the Security Federation has led to the Security Federation becoming a complete enemy and undermining the stability of their rule in the Storm Zone."

However, the biggest variable is still...

She turned her head and looked at the little boy lying on the bed.

If it weren't for this young boy, she would have died in the snowfield a few days ago, and the Twilight Society would have been completely destroyed.

Everything that follows is just empty talk.

"Yes."

Lena also turned her head to look at the boy on the bed.

As United Industries and Eternal Cult attempted to steer the chariot of history toward their planned destination, a small hand reached out, pulled on the taut reins, and sent the chariot heading in a completely different direction.

Although United Industries and Eternal Cult still maintain an advantage, that advantage is no longer as formidable.

This game of chess set up in the city has turned from a dead end into a live one.

Sunlight streamed through the small window of the inner room, falling on the young boy's cheeks. On his thin shoulders, in the hazy light, the phantom of a butterfly was slowly unfolding its wings.

Those tightly closed eyes trembled slightly.

Chapter 800 The 'Commission' for a Live Kill (Long Chapter, Seeking Monthly Tickets)

A hazy white light filled He Ao's vision, and an unprecedented sense of exhaustion emanated from his limbs and swept over his soul.

The exhaustion felt like a mountain weighing millions of pounds, pressing down on him and making it impossible for him to even move a finger.

And in this hazy white light, illusory shadows slowly emerged from the pure white background of the world. Their faces were blurred, like nameless spirits.

Their phantoms passed through He Ao's body, bringing not a chilling cold, but a warmth that seemed to permeate every inch of his muscles.

As this warmth gradually spread through He Ao's body, the weariness that felt like a mountain pressing down on him melted away like snow melting in the spring breeze.

He Ao twitched his fingers and felt his whole body become 'lighter'.

He looked up ahead, where countless phantoms that had passed through his body were now converging together in the white light, coalescing into illusory human figures.

A blurry image of a little girl in a long dress with her eyes closed gradually appeared in the white light.

As the last phantom passed through He'ao's body, He'ao felt as if he had fully regained his mobility, and the little girl formed from the phantom in front of him had also taken complete shape.

The blurry, ethereal long dress began to form an opaque entity, then transformed into pure blood red.

"Alice?"

He Ao stared at the little girl in the red dress gradually taking shape before him, watching as the illusory shadows completely merged into the little girl's body.

The little girl opened her eyes and stared at He Ao in front of her. She slowly opened her arms, and a blood-red paper butterfly unfolded its wings from her palms and slowly flew towards He Ao.

He reached out and caught the butterfly.

At this moment, he vaguely understood that what he was facing was not 'Alice', or rather, not purely 'Alice'.

Those spirits who were 'released' from the inner church and who had once served as 'cornerstones' of the church left some 'power' in Hoo as a token of gratitude before returning to the world.

These strands of power eventually converged on Alice's paper butterfly, forming the shape he sees now.

Alice is the only one among these powers who possesses a certain 'regret' in her thoughts, so she naturally becomes the master of these powers, and the personification of these powers also manifests in the form of Alice.

Earlier, He Ao vaguely sensed some power that had entangled him and the paper butterfly after leaving the inner church, but the paper butterfly did not appear after he left the inner church.

In retrospect, those forces were not stable at that time, and it was only at this point that they fully formed a stable form.

A bright red paper butterfly landed on He Ao's fingertip and slowly folded its wings.

In that instant, the entire pure white world of light shattered.

He Ao slowly opened his eyes and looked around.

The first thing that caught his eye was a delicate and pretty face, and golden twin tails extending from both sides.

"Are you awake?"

Vera looked at Heo and blinked. "I thought you'd sleep a little longer. How are you feeling now?"

Just as He Ao was about to speak, he felt his entire body...

It brings a strong sense of fatigue and weakness.

At the same time, a warm power came from his right shoulder, constantly repairing his body.

He turned his head to look at the blood-red paper butterfly with its wings outstretched and still somewhat illusory on his right shoulder, then turned back to look at Veri. "It's alright now."

At that moment, Veri followed his gaze to the tiny, solidified paper butterfly on He's shoulder.

She remembered clearly that He Ao didn't have this paper butterfly on his shoulder just now.

However, she didn't ask any further questions. After all, it's normal for extraordinary individuals to have some secrets. She turned her head and glanced at Lena beside her. "Well, your guest has arrived."

Then she straightened up and said, "You guys chat first, I'll go make you some milk tea."

Upon hearing this, He Ao looked at Vili with some surprise.

Even Lena looked at Vili with some surprise.

"What kind of looks are you giving me? Do you think I'm just a pampered young lady who can't lift a finger?"

Vili rolled her eyes. "I've been learning to make milk tea with Uncle Jeko since I was little. It's been almost ten years of my expertise. You have to trust my skills!"

As she spoke, she clapped her hands, puffed out her cheeks, and walked out of the inner room.

"She is very different."

Lena watched the girl's figure disappear behind the door, then turned to look at He Ao.

At least among the wealthy heiresses she knew, none of them would personally brew milk tea; that was usually the job of hiring maids or private chefs.

"Yes,"

He looked in the direction where Veri disappeared and nodded thoughtfully.

Although Vili may be the richest 'young lady' in the city, her upbringing makes her not like one at all.

Then he turned to Lena and asked, "How's the Security Federation doing?"

"Not great, but much better than expected,"

Lena nodded slightly and briefly described the current situation of the Security Federation. Then she continued, "Many people in the federation currently hope to establish an 'alliance' with you."

"Your achievements last night have spread throughout Winter City and even the entire Federation. Now, I'm afraid the entire upper echelon of the Federation knows that a Fallen Angel mech shot down a sky behemoth."

"United Industries issued a notice this morning, offering a reward of 50 million Federal Dollars for your person. Anyone who can provide a valid clue will receive a reward of 10 million."

"Aren't you going to collect the prize money?"

He Ao placed the IV stand between his legs and looked at her with a smile.

"There are rules in our bounty hunter profession too..."

She paused, tilted her head to look at He Ao, her cascading red hair sliding down her shoulders, "At least I have rules; I don't earn money I shouldn't."

"Did you actually make money as a mercenary?"

He Ao looked at her with some curiosity.

"Let's... make a little money, shall we?"

Lena paused briefly, then immediately changed the subject, "The good news is, based on the information I've received so far, your pilot identity hasn't been leaked; the bad news is,"

She looked at Heo and said, "Your arrest warrants are plastered all over Winter City now."

"Was this done by the Eternal Esoteric Sect?"

He Ao noticed her intention to change the subject, but instead of pointing it out, he pondered for a moment and said...

As early as his match against Levins

At that time, he discovered that the Eternal Secret Sect seemed to have obtained his information.

Although the Eternal Secret Sect may not be able to confirm that he was the one who did those things, it doesn't change their attitude of "better to kill the innocent than let the guilty go free."

"Yes,"

Lena nodded. "Now the entire city of Winter belongs to them, and they can put up arrest warrants wherever they want."

"So what exactly is the relationship between United Industries and the Eternal Secret Cult? Do you have any information on that?"

He Ao continued to ask.

"I don't know, we didn't receive any information beforehand,"

Lena's expression was somewhat strange.

"These two have been hiding for far too long. It's normal that the Eternal Secret Cult could keep it a secret, but it's surprising that United Industries could also keep it a secret."

“Until last night, the mid-level employees at United Industrial Base still thought the Eternal Cult was their enemy,”

At this point, she continued thoughtfully, "Currently, I suspect that only a very small number of people at the very top of United Industries who make decisions are truly related to the Eternal Cult. The 'covenant' they have made may not even be known to the United Industries board of directors."

"Um,"

He nodded slightly. The United Industries had managed to keep it a secret from the FBI, and this time they had indeed concealed it very well. He looked at Lena again and asked, "Have the arrangements been made with the FBI?"

"I've already arranged for people and doctors to help stabilize their injuries,"

Lena nodded. "They should have contacted FBI headquarters by now."

"Trouble,"

He thanked her softly, then looked at Lena and slowly said, "May I see the disc you used to enter the inner chapel last night?"

"of course."

Lena reached out and handed the disc with the pointer to He Ao. She vaguely sensed that He Ao's visit to her this time was most likely related to this disc.
