Alien Executioner

To prove that she didn't speak, Katie took out a directory with many densely packed names in it.

An Xiao put the list back and remained silent for a while.

Chapter 25: The Sixth Night (Seven)

After a long while, she finally broke the silence.

"You said you were the person in charge here, but the institute has been abandoned."

"Yes, although the federal government has plans to develop this place, it is actually controlled by the military. Eighty years ago, the military had already thought of abandoning it and established a new department, the Research Department."

Katie spoke slowly, her face hidden in the dimness, the only light source was the makeshift light bulb.

"At that time, all the Devouring Weapon research factories had been abandoned and then destroyed by a nuclear explosion. The highest level of the government was persuaded by the military, and the highest councillors of each district signed at the same time. The reason for persuasion was simple. These factories not only researched Devouring Weapons, but also had many unknown secrets."

"You mean the artificial xenomorph experiment?" An Xiao thought subconsciously.

"A perceptive child, always being able to smell the truth is the talent of the An family. Indeed, while studying the Devouring Weapon, they are also studying the alien species themselves. No one is not tempted by the power of these similar bodies. If they can be controlled, they are far more reliable than the Devouring Weapon." ⑨

Katie showed a look of disdain when she said this.

"Will it really be more reliable? Obviously, it's not that smooth. The predecessor of the artificial xenomorph experiment took place in these research factories. Anyone who knows a little bit about it will know that the process is extremely bloody. The hero that people were once proud of fell into collusion with Shang. When she was despised by everyone, little did they know that their own government was doing the same thing."

"That's what they were planning to do," An Xiao said, referring to the plans of the federal government and the military.

"One or two nuclear explosion tests destroyed everything here and covered up the dirty past." Katie said, "But as you can see, the nuclear explosion test did not happen."

"Because many people did not evacuate at that time."

"Yes, they have always had a signed nuclear explosion deployment plan, but they were cautious because there were still survivors. They were not blindly enough to kill thousands of people at the same time, which delayed it until now." Katie walked to a mirror and wiped the reflection of her face with her sleeve.

"Due to the An family's interference, we can't force the people here to evacuate. I am the executive officer stationed here, protecting the secrets of the institute before the nuclear explosion experiment, and trying to destroy it quietly. In a flash, more than 50 years have passed. Time flies so fast that it really catches people off guard."

"I remember that there is no executive officer named Yarde in the FACA archives. Memory is the evaluation standard for executive officers, and I will not be wrong."

Katie glanced at her chest. "It's hard to believe that you have access to the files. You're an elite executive at such a young age."

"He was promoted to the third class not long ago, and has been nominated for the second class." An Xiao said lightly.

This is not an unintentional exposure of levels.

She knew very well that the current situation should not be underestimated. The other party's attitude was not obviously friendly and she had to seize every opportunity.

"As expected of the An family."

Katie just chuckled and praised without showing much shock. There is a saying that goes, if there is a first genius in this world, there will be a second one. Although geniuses are precious, they are not a rare species. It is not surprising to see them often.

"Even the director-general would have a hard time tracking me down. I am a super executive who carries out top-secret tasks and am protected on a special list. This list is hidden somewhere in the military and will only be released when the mission is completed."

"But you are already over eighty years old." An Xiao reminded.

"Yes, I have been forgotten." Katie just smiled, "So I took the initiative to forget that I am an executive officer."

An Xiao subconsciously wanted to draw his gun, but he held back the conflict because the old man’s last words were very dangerous.

Her meaning was very vague, and it also implied that she was abandoning her identity as an executive. She did not meet with him alone as an executive.

"Don't always overinterpret. You're a lot like your brother in this respect." Katie still smiled, trying to be as friendly as possible.

Hearing this, An Xiao was somewhat moved.

He shook his head and stopped thinking about it. He looked into the old man's eyes and continued to ask, "You just said that in addition to protecting the secrets of the institute, you are also responsible for trying to destroy this place."

"Only tried it once." Katie didn't shy away.

"It was also during that attempt that I accidentally learned a secret of the research institute, and this secret is the gift I want to give you." Katie suddenly clapped her hands, and someone responded in the darkness. She shouted softly in that direction.

As she shouted, several people appeared in the darkness and An Xiao saw three children.

Those children were thin and skinny, expressionless boys with pupils that were wide open, as if they couldn't close.

An Xiao had never seen such a person before. He exuded the smell of death, the stench of decay, like a dead person who was still alive.

As Katie spoke in a low, unintelligible voice, several children moved closer for a closer look.

Their expressions are dull and their eyes are empty. The innate wisdom and consciousness of human beings cannot be reflected in them.

"When I came here, I found a special place with many large water tanks, and they were the only ones that were intact," Katie whispered.

"Are they... still alive?" An Xiao's voice trembled.

"I thought so at first, until I broke the four water jugs to wake them up. They were very obedient and did not resist. They responded to the most basic instructions, such as walk, run, lie down, etc." Katie said:

"They are no different from dead. They have no ability to think. They are like machines that can be ordered by anyone. When I found them, all the other children were dead. The institute was raided and massacred, but they were the only ones left out."

"Do you know who they are?"

"These are experimental subjects that have been dormant for a long time, but they are not the original first batch. Don't treat them as children. Their physical age is at least seventy years old, possibly even older than me." Katie gently stroked the black hair of the boy in front, but her eyes were not kind.

An Xiao finally took out the photo of the girl at this time, "Have you been waiting for me to take out this photo?"

This is the only photo of the girl’s face in the basement of the brick building.

Katie said there were four water jugs, but there were only three people in front of her, so the remaining one was most likely the girl.

Katie didn't even look at the photo, she just said calmly:

"Yes, this child is the one that Yaerde wants to take away. She is also the child of the fourth water jug. The fourth water jug ​​did not come from here. She actually ran away secretly four years ago in Bashan Ling (Jiu) Ling 7⒐ Wu Yan, leaving only a note saying that she wanted to regain her memory."

"She... also lost her memory?"

"Anyway?" Katie shook her head.

"I don't know. She is completely different from the other three children. She is very special and behaves just like a normal person."

Katie continued:

"Twenty years ago, Yaerde gave me the fourth water jug. She looked to be nearly six years old. I took her to an orphanage to raise her for a while and tried to observe her. Not long after, the An family took her away. She should have lived in the An family for a long time, but for some reason, the An family sent her back, which was ten years ago."

An Xiaoping calmed down her excited heart, she was one step closer to the girl.

She asked softly, "The girl has forgotten, right? She has forgotten her experience in the An family."

"Yes." Katie looked at her meaningfully:

"She went crazy after returning to the orphanage. She kept saying that she had lost important memories, but she didn't know what they were. To be on the safe side, I had to lock her up in this research institute and wait for Yarde to take her away. I didn't expect her to escape anyway. I don't know where she is now."

"She's crazy..." An Xiao repeated.

"The reason I'm telling you is very simple. You know that Yaerde is related to the An family, and you happen to be the third daughter of the An family." Katie said word by word, "She will show up in five days, not only to take the girl away, but also to take these children away."

"You want me to stop it." An Xiao looked at the three children, "They are very important to you."

"They are different from other artificial species. Leaving here may cause a disaster." Katie slowly said an incredible secret, but her low voice echoed all around.

"It can control monsters, suppress the phagocytic cells of alien species, and even... make them surrender!"

Chapter 259 Sixth Night (Part )

She didn't remember when it started, but she actually had such an experience.

The girl walked happily through the corridor of the villa. There were many paintings hanging on the walls on both sides. The paintings always showed white flowers and white butterflies dancing gracefully. But the strange thing was that the sky was blood red, as if a sea of ​​fire was burning upside down.

Several waiters were talking at the end of the corridor, but they were startled when they saw the girl humming a cheerful song. They made way for her when she passed by, kept a distance from her, and just stared at her cheerful back.

An Xiao was used to the distance that other people kept, and she chose to ignore it again. She was wearing a thick velvet nightgown, skipping and jumping in the corridor. The nightgown was a gift from her brother, and it was prepared hastily. This was a normal thing in the An family. Every child would get a gift, and the children would also prepare gifts for each other.

But her gift is different, it symbolizes the relationship between friends other than relatives.

Everyone was surprised at the cheerful figure. The third young lady actually smiled, completely different from her usual silence and sullenness.

Because she is happy.

Her brother became her first friend a week ago. Even though the boy, who looked like her sister, was clumsy, she finally had a friend. There was no sense of distance between them. This feeling was unprecedented.

She is now looking for her brother. Today her mother is going to host a dinner party in this rarely occupied villa. While everyone is busy, she wants to go racing with her brother.

Her brother said he wanted to take her to go racing, and An Xiao was very excited. She had only seen the word "racing" in books before. She didn't know what it was, nor did she know that it was very dangerous for two children under the age of ten.

She just wanted to be with her brother.

But now I don’t know where my brother has gone. Maybe he is making preparations. The villa is so big that it is like a maze. I can only search slowly.

The sounds behind her became smaller and smaller, and An Xiao didn't know where she was going until she could no longer hear any sounds from other people in the villa. She then realized that she had come to the basement. There was an iron door in front of her, and through the gap she could see the blue fire inside.

An Xiao was not afraid, she was just curious why there was a basement. She could faintly hear crying sounds inside, as if there was someone there. She was deeply attracted by the sounds and wanted to find out what was going on, so she reached out and touched the iron door.

Then the iron door suddenly opened, and a gust of cold wind blew in from the basement.

An Xiao mustered up the courage to walk into the basement. There was a yellow light on the stone wall, the light bulb was new and bright, illuminating every corner of the corridor clearly, stretching far and far, with a second iron door at the end.

She stopped and saw the iron gate at the end was open with a huge "X" written on it in black paint.

Please do not go any further.

An Xiao had no intention of going any further, thinking that since the door was open, she could just take a look. But she was suddenly startled to see that the wall inside had turned into steel plates, reflecting a dreamy fluorescent blue, and there was a humming sound from the motor.

An Xiao suddenly had a strange thought in his mind: could this be the scientific research laboratory in the anime? Hidden in an unknown corner, conducting some experiment?

The mysterious scene attracted her, and she quietly walked through the metal corridor to find out what was going on. An alloy door opened to the left and right, and then closed behind her. Then a pungent smell of medicine filled the air, and several figures moved slowly on the other side of the glass wall.

There was a buzzing sound of electricity everywhere, resonating with tinnitus. She guessed that it was the movement of the machine and called it electric sound. She came to an unknown area, where glass walls folded one after another, hiding behind them and seeing the researchers.

These researchers are all family members. An Xiao is not afraid of being discovered at all. At most, his mother would say a few words to him, but then he would not have the chance to see more. The researchers were busy making test tubes, holding a syringe in their hands that seemed to have drawn a little blood.

An Xiao actually has another cunning side. She is not as ladylike and well-behaved as she appears to be. She is very talented in stealing and lurking. She soon came to the other area. Although the process was thrilling and she even broke a glass tube containing golden liquid, fortunately she was not discovered immediately.

Coming to another corridor, there seemed to be no one there, so An Xiao began to walk over there with a swagger. Soon the walls of the corridor became transparent and replaced by glass. The two sides were like giant exhibition cabinets, or even more like rooms with no privacy.

An Xiao lay on a glass wall and observed. It was not a room at all. Many syringes and hoses were connected to something that looked like a hibernation capsule. The capsule was hung horizontally above, and a black-haired girl was lying inside.

There was a big label on it, which seemed to be a girl's name.

[Song Yixue: SS03--Normal]

It turns out that experimental subjects really exist. The girl named Song Yixue is a little older than herself, and she should be asleep.

An Xiao looked for a long time, wondering how many children like this there were, and walked deeper.

Behind the deepest glass wall, there was no longer a hibernation cabin, but an entire water tank. She stood in the corridor and looked up blankly. A girl was wrapped in blue-green liquid. The girl was floating in the pool with her eyes closed. Her body was full of tubes.

Completely different from Song Yixue before, there were no tubes inserted into Song Yixue's body, and those needles were only connected to the hibernation chamber. The girl in front of him was so quiet and peaceful, and there was no movement. There was no need to worry about whether she was dead or not. She was still alive, breathing shallowly, like a sleeping kitten, which made people unable to help but take a second look.

An Xiao felt that the needle in the girl's body must be very painful, and he also felt phantom pain in his body, so he couldn't help but step back.

At this moment, the girl suddenly opened her eyes, her pupils flashing gold in the turbid blue-green liquid, and her eyes turned slightly, curiously looking at An Xiao standing in front of her. Her limbs swayed slightly, that was a waving motion, as if she was greeting the fish in the aquarium.

The only difference is that the one waving and saying hello was in the water.

An Xiao felt like she was the fish being observed, so she moved closer to the glass wall and even stuck to it, refusing to admit defeat and staring at the girl.

The stalemate didn't last long, and the girl inside smiled silently.

"Can you come out?" An Xiao tried to talk to her. She felt sorry for the girl.

The girl shook her head, then nodded, probably meaning that she couldn't get out, but there was a chance she could be released.

"I'm here to look for my brother. Do you know where my brother is?" An Xiao asked this question out of nowhere.

The girl actually pointed in a direction, which was the suburbs south of the villa, but there was nothing there.

"Thank you..." She wanted to talk to the girl more, but she had no experience, so she could only thank her dryly.

She actually wanted to ask questions like "Are you sad?" "Are you in pain?", but there was no need to say these questions. She had never known the meaning of many things not needing to be said since she was very young. When Nanjin II Jiu 0 Wu San Ba ​​Qi Yi Shan saw the girl's appearance, she suddenly understood.

The girl lowered her eyes, and An Xiao felt a prick in her heart. She recognized this look, it was too familiar.

This is loneliness.

"What's your name?" An Xiao paused, deliberately making his expression look serious.

"You don't have any friends here, right? We can be friends."

The girl opened her mouth softly and said the name.

"Gu..."

Chapter 260 Sixth Night (Part )

A loud rumbling sound woke An Xiao up.

When she woke up, she was still in the underground research institute in City 05, lying on an instrument table. She sat up and looked around. An old man was peeling an apple not far away.

"You're awake." Katie noticed.

"I...why did I fall asleep?" An Xiao pressed his forehead, his heart pounding.

"You suddenly fell into a coma and couldn't be woken up. At first I thought you were too hungry." Katie spread her hands. "Do you remember what I said before you fell into a coma?"
