Chapter 209: Abyss Laboratory
Azure Harbor, Central City, Council Hall.
When they received word that the contamination across Azure Harbor had begun to decline, no one in the room felt any joy. Instead, the atmosphere grew even more oppressive.
When the red line appeared in the fog, the data on the screens had already identified its target and estimated the casualties it might cause.
"So, do we still need to use high-lethality weapons for this one person?"
The person holding the button sneered. "Not all people are equal."
"The conditions for using high-lethality weapons are that the Third Reality Defense Line sustains a real impact, or—"
"Someone of importance is in danger!"
"Then press it!"
Someone urged him on, eager to see what would happen after the button was pressed.
But amid the tense atmosphere, someone on the left side of the long table suddenly spoke. "That person isn't worth using high-lethality weapons on!"
As he spoke, he turned to his assistant. "Who's made it back so far?"
The person beside him immediately replied, "Independent Investigator Moses has returned to Azure Harbor from the secret prison at sea. Mr. Buddha also knows what's happening and can project himself here if necessary."
"Also, the Secret School has agreed to intervene. It's just that—"
The speaker's gaze turned cold. The assistant hurriedly continued, "The Abyss Organization's Lady of Sacrifice has already informed the Secret School that she sold that failed experimental subject to Azure Harbor, so she isn't responsible for what he does."
"She can help retrieve him now, but Azure Harbor will have to pay an additional fee."
"Also, if Azure Harbor handles this itself, that failed experimental subject is insignificant. But no one can harm that Special Cleanup Personnel member."
"Otherwise, she'll end all cooperation with the Ancient Aristocrats!"
