Miss Dragon, the BOSS, will not be captured.

The third explosion finally blasted a large hole in the wall, and Ye Qingxian saw several tall, burly men rush into the room. They were fully armed, carrying more than one gun and various multi-purpose equipment.

The leader of the group aimed at Ye Qingxian and was about to fire, but his companion pressed the muzzle of the gun down with his hand.

"What are you doing? Kill her and finish the mission."

The man who was stopped from firing was somewhat annoyed.

This group wants to kill me!

Ye Qingxian looked terrified. She had nowhere to run, and she was a girl who was completely weak and sickly. If she were to fight a chicken one-on-one, she might even be killed.

"Don't worry, the federal guards are so weak, we have plenty of time."

The man who stopped his companion from firing wasn't having a change of heart and wanting to let Ye Qingxian go. He pulled a tablet from his backpack, pointed its camera at Ye Qingxian, and said to his employer, "Look, this is the target."

"Very good, kill her!"

The employer's voice came through the tablet's speakers.

"Wait a minute, I think we should add some money?"

This man revealed his true intentions: he felt the payment was too low, so after gaining control of the target, he began to negotiate a higher price with the employer.

Anyway, the institute's guards won't be here for a while, so they have plenty of time.

The mercenary who had been stopped from firing saw his companion's actions and gave him a "you should have said so earlier" look before putting down his gun.

Ye Qingxian was frozen in fear. She knew these people were there to kill her, and that she would die soon, but what could she do? She couldn't do anything.

Even without weapons, she was powerless to defeat any of the strong mercenaries, and escape was impossible because these men blocked her escape route.

"You greedy bunch! Isn't that much reward enough?!"

"Not enough, add another 50%."

You're dreaming!

"Hey, you'd better think this through. After this attack, the research institute will definitely strengthen its security. Next time, no matter who they bring in, it won't be so easy."

They are stateless mercenaries, only in it for money. As for integrity?

On the entire planet, only they are the mercenary organizations that dare to take on such missions. Daring to take on the mission of attacking the federal government's classified facilities means that the organization must be disbanded after the mission is completed, because if they continue, the federal government will definitely investigate them to the end. But which of these mercenaries doesn't have the means to live in anonymity?

Therefore, this one job will sustain me for life, and I must maximize the profits from this mission.

"I'll give you more money! Just kill her right now!"

"Pay first, then we'll talk."

"Damn it!" came a cursing voice from the other end of the voice call, followed by a short while later, "It's been transferred."

After confirming the information, the mercenary threw the tablet to the ground, smashing it to pieces, and then threw an incendiary bomb onto it.

Next, it's time to deal with this girl in front of me. Looking closely at her age, she's about the same age as my daughter…

Let's give her a quick and painless death.

"What are you doing... no..."

Ye Qingxian felt the fear of death, which was different from anything she had felt before. The psychological pressure she felt from dying of illness was completely different from that of being about to be killed.

Please... anyone, please, please save me...

Just then, a hole suddenly appeared in the ceiling above Ye Qingxian's head, and a blue sphere fell out of it and hit her on the head.

bang~

The sphere exploded without causing any damage; instead, it formed a blue shield that enveloped Ye Qingxian.

A mercenary quickly aimed at Ye Qingxian and fired several shots, but the bullets were deflected by the blue shield.

"What, what is this?! An energy shield? Is this a science fiction movie?"

Even the well-informed mercenaries were surprised; could something like an energy shield really exist in reality?

They still use gunpowder weapons today, and their defenses consist of bulletproof vests and shields.

Since the end of the early 21st century, almost all technologies on Earth have stagnated, including weapons.

Energy shields are a common feature in science fiction, and I always thought they were only seen in games and movies, but I was surprised...

"This invention is a top federal secret."

A female voice came from somewhere.

"Who is it? Show yourself!"

"I'm telling you this because none of you will leave here alive."

The walls that had been blown apart suddenly began to writhe like flesh and blood, and within seconds they closed up, trapping all the mercenaries inside the room.

Ye Qingxian was stunned. This situation was extremely shocking even for an ordinary person like her. Was this really reality?

"There's a door in the room! Go see if you can open it!"

A mercenary rushed to the door, only to find it locked.

Just then, many iron pipes protruded from the ceiling, one about every half meter, and the nozzles of these iron pipes were aimed at the mercenaries below.

The next second, scorching flames shot out from the iron pipe, covering the entire room perfectly from every angle.

Chapter 152, page 145: The young lady was stunned by the fall.

The entire room was suddenly engulfed in flames. Ye Qingxian instinctively covered her eyes with her hands, but she didn't need to worry because the energy shield covering her body kept the high temperature out.

Unfortunately, the mercenaries were not so lucky. How could human flesh and blood withstand the baking of a thousand degrees?

When the fierce flames subsided, only a few charred corpses remained where the mercenaries had stood.

Upon witnessing this scene, Ye Qingxian covered her mouth, feeling nauseous. The shock of seeing dead people was immense. This was reality, not a game; these people were truly dead, the kind who wouldn't come back to life.

"Don't worry, I've already killed those thugs."

The female voice from before reappeared, but it was difficult to find the source of the sound.

"who is it?"

Shh~ Don't tell anyone I'm here.

A holographic projection device extended from the ceiling of the room, and a petite and lovely girl appeared in front of her through the projection. She had flowing white hair, wore a white dress, and smiled very kindly at Ye Qingxian.

“Ling?” Ye Qingxian blurted out.

"What cold? I'm not cold."

She bowed slightly to Ye Qingxian and introduced herself: "I am the super AI in charge of processing data for the entire Earth. Just call me Xiao Ai."

"Xiao Ai..."

Ye Qingxian thought to herself that this was the same nickname she used for Esther.

"Don't worry about that. Names and such don't matter. The important thing is that you're in danger right now, you know?"

But soon the AI ​​girl felt that this statement was somewhat contradictory: "No, the attacker is dead, you are safe now."

Did you do this?

Ye Qingxian dared not look at the corpse on the ground, and could only focus her gaze on the AI ​​girl.

"Yes, but please don't tell anyone. My existence is a secret."

In the public eye, super AI is an absolutely rational being, and it has no self-awareness, so it should not have the image of a human girl.

Is this girl in front of me the renowned super AI? The only product of technological progress in human civilization since the early 21st century?

Ye Qingxian realized that even in reality, she could no longer live as an ordinary person.

Meanwhile, on the floor above her room, the doctors in the emergency room breathed a sigh of relief.

When they learned that the silver-haired girl had jumped from a height of tens of meters onto the concrete ground, their first reaction was that she was absolutely beyond saving. But unexpectedly, there really is a miracle in this world, no, or rather, a divine miracle. The silver-haired girl's injuries were not serious. After examination, it was found that her internal organs had not suffered much damage.

After the rescue was declared a success, the silver-haired girl woke up quickly, opened her scarlet eyes, and looked at the doctors with a confused expression.

Ling Xue, who was waiting outside the door, couldn't help but rush into the emergency room. Although this was against the rules, since the child was alright and there was a lot of influence behind him, the doctors didn't stop her and left the emergency room on their own.

"Young Miss! I'm so glad you're alright!" Ling Xue came to the bedside and looked at her with great concern: "Why did you have to think of doing something like this? This world is so beautiful."

She didn't believe the young lady had fallen accidentally, because according to the inspection, the window was clearly broken by a hammer. Now, seeing the gauze wrapped around the young lady's hand, she understood everything.

"Who are you?" Esther couldn't help but ask.

"Look at you, you're sulking again. You just woke up not long ago," Ling Xue said to herself. "I really believe there are gods in this world now. You fell from such a height and you're not seriously injured."

"Of course, I am a dragon."

"Dragon?" Ling Xue was stunned.

"Don't you know what a dragon is?"

Estia found it very interesting. The word "dragon" was as well-known as the sun and the moon, and no one knew it. She was surprised that this human girl in front of her had never heard of it.

"Of course I know about dragons. According to the Chinese zodiac, Miss was born in the Year of the Dragon."

"What do you mean by 'born in the Year of the Dragon'? I am a dragon."

What nonsense is this human spouting?

"Miss..."

Ling Xue was a little worried; could it be that the young lady hit her head when she fell from the building...?

Glug glug~

The silver-haired girl's stomach began to groan.

"I'm hungry, is there anything to eat?"

"You need an IV drip right now, so it's not suitable for you to eat food directly."

"Intravenous infusion?"

Estia then realized that there were tubes inserted into the back of her hand again.

Without thinking, she pulled out the tube.
