Infinite: Starting from Infiltrating Other Spaces

While the RS-012 split design cannot perfectly replicate all of RS-012's power, it can at least replicate about 80%.

Furthermore, in the experiment, the split version of RS-012 achieved almost the same effect as RS-012.

Therefore, your reasoning lacks rigorous logic.

"So you said it yourself, it can only be replicated at around 80%, not 100%!"

Li Xia lowered his raised leg, leaning slightly forward, conveying an extremely aggressive and assertive air.

"Or are you saying you tried to erase a titled expert using a clone? If I say you can't erase them, then you can't!"

The entire office and the entire conference room fell silent once again.

After a long while, the Flower-Kissing Viper lazily said:

"Alright everyone, I have a simple way to verify this."

She stood up, leaned close to the protective shield, and leaned forward:

"The first time you met me a year ago, you bragged to me about how long your thing was."

So tell me now, how much did you say back then?

She lit the cigarette in her mouth with a snap, took a deep drag, and exhaled pale blue smoke.

He then glanced at Li Xia and said, "This is what you're most proud of. Don't tell me you haven't forgotten it, have you?"

Li Xia glanced at him, and under everyone's gaze, she also stood up and walked to Hua Wenfu.

Through the pale blue protective shield, their eyes met, and Li Xia smiled, as if she were talking about something very simple:

"I forgot."

The audience erupted in uproar.

-----------------

1. Monthly pass 2. Recommendation vote

Twelve thousand! Isn't that incredible?!

Do you have any monthly passes?

Chapter 9 I've broken through, do you have a problem with that?

Hua Wenfu's gaze suddenly sharpened as she stared at Li Xia's face, a subtle, enigmatic smile gradually appearing on her lips:

"Forgot? But how could you possibly forget?"

She moved even closer, her full breasts and alluring face almost touching the barrier of her heart:

"After the incident broke out, when you saw me, you didn't show that disgusting... lewd... greedy look like before."

I knew it; you're not him anymore.

The Flower-Kissing Viper's eyes, heavily made up with eyeshadow, narrowed, and its smile grew even more intense.

"What a pity. If he were like you, I might actually have agreed to Dark Flame's rendezvous."

I quite like you for who you are, but... for now, you should focus on surviving.

The entire conference room was illuminated by unsettling red lights, and Li Xia could sense a terrifying force gathering around him.

Is it a company weapon? A hidden tactic? Or something that can counterbalance powerful individuals at the title level?

As Li Xia's 'combat gear', the three little ones were naturally isolated outside the mental barrier.

Seeing the situation suddenly become extremely tense, their hearts were in their throats.

The roar was like a sudden attack; it first chopped down the people around it before trying to save Li Xia.

But before it could make a move, it saw Li Xia glance at them.

That calm gaze was reassuring, so the three of them immediately quieted down and waited patiently.

"So have you considered another possibility?"

Li Xia stood up and walked to the barrier, separated from the Flower Kiss Viper by only a thin barrier.

"Oh? What's possible?"

Flower-Kiss Viper licked its lips, its smile growing increasingly dangerous, truly resembling a venomous snake hissing.

Wait for the moment when the prey is off guard, then deliver the fatal blow.

"That is..."

Li Xia slowly raised his hand, and a brilliant halo suddenly appeared behind his head, carrying a kind of divinity that seemed to transcend the world.

A dreamlike, ethereal halo of four colors cascaded down from the halo, weaving together into a myriad of dazzling rays of light.

"Splash—"

Everyone around stood up, and the chairs screeched as they scraped against the floor with tremendous force.

Their gazes were fixed on Li Xia, as if they had seen something beyond their expectations, filled with indescribable shock.

The tip of the index finger gently touched the pale blue barrier, and cracks began to spread from the point where the fingertip touched the barrier.

"Kara"

The barrier shattered into countless pieces, and the mental barrier began to dissipate after it broke, with the edges of the fragments gradually turning into scattered azure light spots.

Like a flock of dreamy blue butterflies, they fluttered their wings in this conference room, scattering shimmering, fluorescent powder.

Li Xia stood before the viper, looking down at her horrified face:

"Is it possible... that I achieved a breakthrough by using the split parts of RS-012?"

"A breakthrough? This—this—"

A researcher in a white lab coat pushed up his glasses, his tone hurried and confused:

"According to our research, titled hunters have reached the pinnacle of humanity at present."

It is a perfect combination of mind, rules, and will, and cannot be explored any further.

As a titled hunter, you've already reached the limit; logically speaking, it's impossible for you to break through!

Li Xia turned to look at the research institute.

He had no idea how titled hunters broke through to higher ranks, but he figured it was something like that.

Different worlds are largely the same; even if there are differences, they are only in the methods used.

Everyone takes different paths but arrives at the same destination; the road they all travel is, in essence, the same one.

That is to push the body, mind, and will to their limits and seek advancement.

But he couldn't say that.

Li Xia nodded: "You're right, but that's just the usual way."

Using RS-012, I erased useless emotions and memories, leaving only the pursuit of a higher path, purifying myself, and getting closer to that point.

So while I haven't reached the finish line yet, I've taken another step forward from where I started.

Are you satisfied with this answer?

Li Xia looked at the crowd. If they were not satisfied with the answer he had finally come up with, then he would have no choice but to use another form of proof—force—to convince them.

As for the mission to the Temple of Light, he would have to find a different way to complete it.

At this moment, Li Xia suddenly realized that the difficulty of the first round of main missions was not to raise the rating of "Fortified Defense" to the top.

Based on what he saw in the back alley, achieving this goal wouldn't be difficult. All he had to do was give the gangs in the back alley area a nudge to ensure a smooth supply of goods, and his rating would naturally go up.

Given his role and status, this was incredibly easy for him.

So where does the difficulty lie?

The answer is right before our eyes: this so-called inquiry meeting—an inquiry meeting that will inevitably take place after the RS-012 incident!

Li Xia looked at Hua Wenxiong, who was still in shock, and saw that her beautiful eyes were still full of astonishment, completely unlike her previous casualness.

Li Xia reached out and lifted her chin with his finger. Seeing the sudden panic and astonishment on her face, he abruptly withdrew his index finger and pinched her cheek hard.

"I don't understand what I liked about you before, but now you have no appeal to me at all."

If you're going to put on a show, you have to go all the way. It's easier to change mountains and rivers than to change one's nature.

Even though he claims that he used RS-012 to erase some of his memories, thereby scattering and abandoning desires to pursue something higher, there should still be some remnants in his nature.

Such behavior is frivolous and abrupt, but it fits the character's persona.

Inside the hall, Li Xia was also doing his best to improve himself, and he also studied Konstantin Stanislavsky's "An Actor Prepares", Uta Hagen's "Respect for the Performing Arts", and Richard Boleslavsky's "Six Lectures on Acting".

After all, he's an undercover agent; these are essential lessons for him.

The viper's eyes suddenly widened, filled with furious resentment.

Li Xia released his grip and slowly walked to his chair, sitting down again.

He crossed his legs, rested his hands on the armrests, and addressed the silent Corned directly in front of him:

"Shouldn't the company have appropriate methods?"

I'm open to all verification methods. If you're still not satisfied after that, then I'll have no choice but to leave the company.

So what is the company's opinion?

"Dear Mr. Corned?"

The entire conference room fell silent, all eyes turning to the person at the head of the table. Korned, hands clasped and chin resting on his hand, remained silent, awaiting his final decision.

After a long while, Corned stood up, a hint of a smile in his voice:

"No need. All the company's verification methods, including those of the tuner, have confirmed that your soul is not fluctuating and your colors are still harmonious."

"Well then... welcome, Mr. Darkflame, Vice President and Head of Special Operations at Fortified Defense."

Li Xia stood up and nodded in thanks to Corned, smiling.

"It would be my great honor!"

..................

"I've been exposed."

Li Xia had a dormitory room renovated. He leaned back on the sofa, closed his eyes, seemingly resting, but actually said something casually in the team channel.

The three little ones, who had been so cheerful, froze, but continued playing as if nothing had happened. However, their anxious voices came through the team chat:

"Exposed? But we just passed the verification, didn't we? That Constantine guy even promoted the boss, he's now the company's vice president."

"My explanation might fool ordinary people or most people, but Corned and the old fox behind him are not so easily fooled."

It should be said that... whether I am the original "Dark Flame" or not, whether I have been affected by the RS-012 split, is not important to them.

What matters is whether I have value and whether I can help them with what they want to do.

As long as I don't show any resistance and am willing to work under the company and follow its orders, even if I'm a disguised anomaly, they won't turn against me while I'm still useful.

These cunning old foxes have been alive for who knows how long, and beneath this barrier lies a breeding ground for venomous insects.

Those who can survive in such an environment and remain in a high position for a long time are not fools; every single one of them is incredibly cunning.

Li Xia lay on the chair with her eyes closed, her mind racing.

Clearly, something unprecedented is brewing in this last remaining human settlement, something that could even influence the course of the entire world.

Standing at a turning point in their destiny, the Temple of Light would not have thrown them there if they weren't.

But what role does the company play in all of this? And what are they trying to achieve?

Back alley gangs, titled hunters—a series of events are intertwined, like a tangled mess that cannot be untangled.

"Boss, what should we do?"

"Remain calm and do not do anything extra or act rashly. Just do your job well and complete the first part of the main task."

Li Xia opened his eyes. The voice in the team channel sounded somewhat relaxed: "No matter what, what they want to do will eventually come to light."

Silent all night.
