The Six-Foot Blade Won't Go Back in Its Sheath / Red-Eye (First Update)

However, although Helena is highly skilled and possesses top-notch tactical knowledge, she has a fatal flaw: she is a "sister-obsessed maniac."

According to S.H.I.E.L.D.. records, this woman and her sister are twins, and she is more emotional in her actions. Two specific examples that happened to her are enough to prove Helena's excessive concern for her sister.

First, while working as a federal investigator, she apprehended a serial killer, but because the criminal threatened Helena's family, she nearly paralyzed the suspect in a fit of rage, resulting in her suspension.

Secondly, after Helena returned home, her sister was arguing with her boyfriend when Helen, enraged, pulled out a gun and shot him.

Her superiors could not ignore this serious loss of control, but instead of firing her, they transferred her to the Secret Service.

It was precisely because of her weakness in emotional control, her doting on her sister, and her position in the U. S. Secret Service that she became a pawn in Derek C. Simmons's plan to assassinate the president during the biohazard attack in Big Oak.

Therefore, we must be careful when giving this woman important responsibilities.

After a delighted Helena accepted the order and left, Yuriko Takagi read through the email sent by the BOSS again, just to make sure she hadn't missed anything.

Besides escorting the pregnant woman, is it also necessary to allocate funds to an orphanage in Siberia?

Additionally, the SCP Foundation's influence was infiltrated into the Siberia region to secretly conduct an investigation in search of the two unborn babies, "Seele Vollerei" and "Anne Mar."

After confirming the location, contact their family of origin and ensure their safety. Operation codename: [Valkyrie Operation]!

Valkyria... a collective name for the Valkyrie in Norse Mythology. Could it be that the [World Tree] system is about to recruit new members?

Yuriko Takagi seemed to be deep in thought, and then made up her mind to personally travel to Russia once the Los Angeles branch was running smoothly.

More than flattery with her looks, she hoped to become an indispensable part of this great cause.

Just as this strong woman was making her plans, Kevin and his companions, far away in Siberia region, were about to embark on a new journey.

"Don't worry, I'll protect this lady! I'll catch up with her as soon as I'm done!"

Asuna Yuuki, piloting a small Tactical Mech, supported the heavily pregnant Alexandra beside her and made a promise to Kevin and the others.

The beautiful pregnant woman appeared even more vulnerable and helpless after her husband went to prison.

Even so, she roused herself and bowed solemnly to Cocolia inside the snowmobile.

"Thank you for your forgiveness, Your Excellency..."

She was a gentle woman with little opinion of her own, but at least she knew right from wrong.

After Kevin and others subtly mentioned that Cocolia was merely stating the facts and fulfilling her military duties, and had not pursued the heinous crime of her husband shooting his colleague, Alexandra felt only lingering fear and gratitude.

P. S.: SCP Fifth Squad is recruiting. Anyone interested?

Chapter 297, Section 311: The Two-Meter-Long Broadsword Can't Be Retracted

Similarly, Colonel Akreshe, fully aware of his situation, decisively confessed to his crimes.

In an effort to mitigate her husband's sentence, his wife inventoried and converted all their assets into cash, intending to use the proceeds to cover the shortfall from the sale of military supplies.

Since hearing the name "Bronya," the commander has been more lenient towards the Akleshe couple, directly ordering the SCP Foundation to handle the situation and assist the pregnant woman in immigrating.

"If you want to express your gratitude, I hope that after this child is born, he will Cocolia as an elder such as a 'Godmother,' which would put an end to the grudges between you."

Kevin waved his hand and smiled at Alexandra, making the suggestion.

Since it was the man who held their lives in his hands who spoke, the pregnant woman immediately nodded, her unease easing somewhat. This young nobleman was truly kind to her...

As Kevin retreated into the snowmobile, Cocolia, her face tense, casually tossed him a glass of vodka and then picked up the bottle as a gesture of respect.

"To you!"

The commander nodded helplessly, merely making a perfunctory gesture by touching his lips to the ground.

"If you're still a man and want to seduce me, then be quick and drink this!"

Cocolia frowned as she looked at the barely moving vodka in Kevin's hand and reprimanded him coldly.

Faced with such ridicule, Kevin, single-mindedly tilted his head back and gulped down the spicy liquor, Cocolia's eyes gradually revealed a hint of appreciation.

Wait, I forgot to mention, he wasn't concerned about the second half of the sentence...

However, Kevin's sensitivity was clearly misunderstood by Cocolia, a relatively tough female soldier. She patted the commander on the shoulder, her eyes showing a hint of encouragement.

"You can't go back to the military camp, so we happen to need a guide who's familiar with the area. How about we take a trip together?"

Before Kevin could explain, Sarah smiled and suggested it to the pleasing Cocolia, who nodded in agreement.

Seeing that the die was cast, Kevin had no choice but to speak with the head of the Russian Federal Security Bureau and arrange for Captain Cocolia to be temporarily transferred.

After all, Cocolia has a very high potential for growth; she is destined to become the leader of the [Anti-Entropy] organization.

If we let her run around causing trouble, who knows if she'll join [Anti-Entropy] and overthrow Raiden Ryoma's rule.

That scholarly ruler was no match for Cocolia in terms of cunning and strategy, even though the woman always said she hated playing mind games.

But the fact that she was able to gather evidence of Colonel Akreshe's crimes using her position as a lieutenant, and that she thought of hiding the memory card in the bra lining, is enough to prove that this woman is no innocent victim.

Forget it, let it be a misunderstanding. Having her by my side is much better than letting Cocolia wreak havoc on [Anti-Entropy].

The world is already in a terrible state. If a hawk like Cocolia were to take power in the future [Anti-Entropy], the ensuing conflict between the two sides would inevitably lead to turmoil and even collapse within the human camp.

In any case, we can't just stand by and watch humanity destroy itself, can we?

The B-17 military supply depot incident was thus resolved satisfactorily. Cocolia, relieved, and the opportunistic Sarah volunteered to take the pilot's seat, replacing 2B and Scanner Unit 21.

The two of them wanted a private setting where they could talk about topics between women.

"What are you thinking about? You seem so engrossed."

As the snowmobile started, Kevin noticed 2B beside him, her eyes filled with confusion. He instinctively flicked his finger and tapped her on the head.

"The messenger who reported the Terminator attack on a nearby village..."

2B's murmur brought Kevin's thoughts back to the time when, back at the camp, the colonel's confidant who had been involved in the resale of military supplies had given his last report to the head of the security operations in his capacity as a soldier before being taken away.

Ultimately, his message was confirmed, and the head of the security agency left behind the Vympel Special Forces he had brought to take over the B-17 military supply depot.

In addition to this, the Special Forces also has an additional patrol mission to patrol nearby villages.

To this end, Kevin also left behind several targeted weapons and instructed Asuna Yuuki to temporarily protect the pregnant woman while acting according to circumstances.

After a moment's thought, the commander guessed that for a machine life form like 2B, with a simple and clear sense of good and evil, it would be difficult for her to understand the messenger's behavior before his capture.

Why would a soul labeled "despicable" perform such a "noble" and "responsible" act?

"People are complex. Good and evil, right and wrong, are not the only criteria for judgment. At least in our eyes, he was a dutiful soldier. Even though he made mistakes in the past, I still admire him..."

Kevin responded seriously, and after thinking about it, he added some of his own ideas to 2B based on his understanding.

"First, when you realize that good and evil exist in this world, then you have grown..."

"Secondly, if you understand that the world isn't just about good and evil, then you've matured..."

"Third, and once your beliefs transcend the rules, and you persist in doing what you believe is right, then congratulations, there's nothing more that humans can teach you emotionally..."

Seeing that 2B seemed to understand but not quite, the commander pointed to the three Yuhar Robot inside the carriage and chuckled as he listed examples.

"The first stage refers to people like you..."

"The representative of the second range, the one with the Scanner Unit 21..."

"Thirdly, there's the one next to me who's not bound by any mission, dares to talk back to the Creator, and just loafs around all day..."

"You guys should learn from her carefree spirit. That's what it means to have personality and conviction! Don't you agree, Miss A2?"

After drawing his nearly two-meter-long sword, A2 snorted and nodded, then casually began peeling an apple with the sharp blade.

Sure enough, I hate things like intelligent awakening the most!

Kevin ruffled 2B's short silver hair while inwardly complaining that he had recently really enjoyed the feeling of petting cats and fiddling with figurines.

The usually quiet 2B rarely resisted, and as the intimacy level increased, she even became accustomed to this intimate contact.

"We expect to reach the designated area in the East Siberian Sea in about 6 hours for a deep-sea dive."

"Now activating autopilot mode. You can all take a nap for now. Goodnight, Mina..."

Hatsune Miku's clear and melodious voice echoed through the train carriage over the loudspeaker. This Princess, who loves performing, even spontaneously performed an adapted version of a lullaby.

We're almost at our destination...

Kevin murmured to himself, gazing out the window at the deep darkness of the night, a hint of unease and gravity flickering in his eyes.

Meanwhile, in a secluded ward within the Babylon Laboratory, a purple-haired girl, lying on her bed with her knees drawn up to her chest, stared intently at the snow-white wall out of the corner of her eye for several hours.

That's... the direction of the door...

The girl's eerie smile, hidden beneath her arms, quietly bloomed, possessing an indescribable wickedness and ferocity!

P. S.: Sirin's nickname is "Fugu Herrscher," is it because she likes to get cocky and then get beaten up? Who came up with that name? So talented.

Chapter 298, Section 312: Red Eye Disease (First Update)

"Experimental prototype numbers: 7372549, 7372550, 7372551..."

"The Juhar emotional meme nesting is complete..."

"Beginning the breakdown of Three Laws of Robotics..."

"Warning... A self-doubting vicious cycle has formed... System crash in progress!"

"Algorithm redesign... Insufficient time... Rejected..."

"Host's berserk state is irreversible... Self-destruct program... Forced execution..."

"Execution... begin..."

In the enclosed miniature garden, three humanoid Machine Lifeforms with red glowing eyes engaged in a frenzied battle. The survivors, with only half their bodies remaining, pounded on the high-strength composite glass.

Meanwhile, the survivors' cracked heads slammed wildly against the wall, seemingly seeking self-destruction.

Finally, accompanied by two scarlet laser beams that swept across the scene, the survivor was immediately dismembered. The fragments of flesh mixed with metal were scattered everywhere, and the flowing blood became the graffiti of the demon.

Immediately, the floor tilted downwards towards the center, dumping the scattered limbs into what could be described as a "corpse pit."

Pale yet exquisite faces were projected onto the glass. As flames shot out from the holes on both sides of the "corpse pit," the piled-up limbs were gradually incinerated by the high temperature.

"Continue deploying prototypes, experiment number 17,864,197... failed... destruction operation executed..."

"17864198...17864199...17864200..."

In the darkness, the cold, unseen voice continued mechanically, repeating the previous experiment.

If this is the growing pain that intelligent evolution must go through, then she must persevere no matter what...

Until... they are able to escape this tragic fate... and overcome their own flaws...

Whether now or in the future, the competition for species replacement will ultimately only have one Winner...

Inside Hurricane-class Nuclear Submarine in the East Siberian Sea, at the command center and medical room of the YoRHa Unit's bunker.

Holding a pointer, the blond, long-legged Commander frowned deeply as he looked at the three newly vacated beds.

At this moment, 21O, whose right hand and left eye were wrapped in bandages and who had been transformed from a communications officer into a combat robot, stepped forward, saluted his old superior, and explained the current situation in a deep voice.

"This casualties are due to Red Eye Disease, Commander. If we cannot replenish our ranks by tomorrow, the bunker will eventually fall..."

Red Eye Disease, Oldest One seen in some members of the YoRHa Unit who had long fought against the Terminator, is characterized by a reddish glow in the eyes.

Their self-awareness has been contaminated by this special Electronic Virus, resulting in individual berserk behavior and indiscriminate aggression.

Because the members of YoRHa Unit possess a high degree of personal consciousness, the soldiers who went to the battlefield did not hesitate to trap their infected comrades and bring them back to the bunker in order to save them.

As a result, in their efforts to capture these infected individuals, not only did more casualties occur, but even when they were brought to the infirmary intact, the therapists were helpless.

Some patients who broke free of their restraints even caused greater chaos and killing.

Even more critically, in order to ensure that every member of the YoRHa Unit has access to the most advanced combat intelligence, they often synchronize their personal data with [White Queen] during their return to the bunker command center for rest and recuperation.

In the future, a mere minor contact between a hidden Red Eye Disease patient and a branch of the [White Queen] system led to the self-destruction of that base.
