Transforming Into Kanna on Terra

"Heh, heh, heh~~ Isn't this little Kanna? What brings you to the training room?" Facing a little kid, Hardbrick couldn't muster any anger. He could only ask with reluctant laughter.

Kanna casually pulled a lollipop from her pocket and offered it to Hardbrick, deliberately asking, "Why is it so empty over here?"

"It's Specter, that nun who's training."

Hardbrick never imagined he'd be handed a lollipop by a child, but looking at her big, blinking eyes, he uncharacteristically didn't refuse and even started chatting with Kanna. (Moon. Fei Group 694.936135)

Kanna had interacted with them quite a bit during her travels, so everyone was familiar with her. They knew Kanna was precocious for her age and didn't treat her entirely like a child.

After he took the lollipop and skillfully put it in his mouth, he suddenly felt strange glances around him.

He looked up and saw everyone staring at him with disdain. They didn't expect this burly, big-browed, big-eyed guy to have a hobby of tricking little girls out of their lollipops.

"No, listen to me, I can explain! Kanna gave me this candy voluntarily, she gave it to me! Kanna, Kanna, can you explain for me..."

When he turned to look for Kanna, he found she had vanished. Looking up again, he saw Kanna had already reached Specter's side.

"Lousy," "Scum," "Bad person."

Amidst countless looks of disdain from those who didn't know the truth, Hardbrick turned into a melancholic soft brick, hiding in a corner and drawing circles on the ground.

Kanna didn't notice Hardbrick's sadness. Instead, she walked over to a spot not far from Specter.

"Little one, getting too close to me can be dangerous!"

As soon as she spotted Kanna approaching, Specter was sawing through the target in front of her with her chainsaw, sending sparks flying.

"Sister Specter, your movements have a feeling that Kanna can't quite describe. Hmm~~ I think you must be a great dancer!" Although Specter's movements looked exaggerated and somewhat bold, Kanna sensed a hint of dance within them.

"Dance? Hehehe... Perhaps!" Hearing Kanna's words, Specter's eyes seemed to see something, and a hint of memory appeared on her face, but it quickly subsided.

As her expression calmed, Specter's movements became even more fierce, as if facing an enemy with a deep-seated hatred. She was determined to tear her opponent to shreds with her chainsaw.

Kanna didn't back away from Specter's unusual behavior. Instead, she stood nearby nonchalantly. After watching for a while, she concluded that Specter's attacks indeed had the feel of a ballroom dance. The Executor's classic line could describe Specter's appearance during combat: "I bloom in the midst of slaughter, just like a flower at dawn."

Beautiful, Elegant, Fierce, Extreme.

Seeing that Specter's attention was completely focused on the target, Kanna slowly retreated after witnessing her display, not wanting to disturb her training further.

"Tsk, you're really brave. Look at the others. Let alone getting close, they don't even dare to stand nearby. After all, no one can be sure if this woman will suddenly go berserk. You know no one can withstand what she's holding."

After Kanna walked back, Hardbrick, as the safety officer, cautiously glanced at Specter from the side. He breathed a sigh of relief when he realized she wasn't paying attention to him.

Kanna glanced back at Hardbrick, a little surprised. It had only been about ten minutes, but why did he look like he had aged a year and seemed much more tired?

"I~"

"Little ancestor, Lena's greenhouse is quite fun, isn't it? It's so dangerous here, don't wander around. If anything happens, I'll be hung from the bridge."

Seeing Kanna about to speak, Hardbrick immediately bowed, begging the little devil not to cause him any more trouble.

"Uh~" Seeing Hardbrick looking completely worn out, Kanna was confused. She hadn't done anything; she just came to see Specter. However, since Skadi wasn't here and she had already enjoyed Specter's "battle dance," there was no point in staying. The training equipment here was useless to her, except for the targets.

With that thought, she stopped "troubling" Hardbrick and darted out of the training room.

Seeing Kanna leave, Hardbrick collapsed onto the floor, thanking his lucky stars that the little ancestor was finally gone.

Before he could even catch his breath, the sound of a chainsaw whirring echoed in his ears.

"Excuse me, coming through."

"Yikes!" He sprang up from the ground and turned to find Specter standing behind him.

Specter looked at Hardbrick, then at her weapon. "Sorry, I forgot to turn it off."

Without waiting for Hardbrick to react, she shouldered her chainsaw and left.

"Holy crap!" Hardbrick, who was always described as having a rock-solid will, couldn't help but let out a classic Yan curse to vent his frustration.

When Kanna came out, she heard a loud roar coming from the medical department. Driven by curiosity, she slipped towards it.

Upon arrival, she found a gaping hole torn in the medical department. Several doctors were slumped on the ground, trembling in fear. On the other side, a Sarkaz man was holding the unconscious Rosemary.

Following a set of footsteps, Kal'tsit arrived at the scene with her team.

She glanced at the chaotic scene and sighed slightly. It seemed they had been too hasty. The recent peace had made her forget that Rosemary was a very volatile "bomb."

"Notify the engineering team to carry out emergency repairs here. Are any of you injured?" Kal'tsit said to someone beside her before asking the doctors at the scene.

"No. Fortunately, Logos appeared at the most dangerous moment. He controlled the patient." Although they had narrowly escaped death here not long ago, the doctors quickly calmed down and reported the situation to Kal'tsit.

"Alright, this was my mistake. If you feel unwell, I grant you a week of leave. I'll take this child with me." Kal'tsit sincerely apologized for her misjudgment and then gestured to Logos, indicating he should follow her with Rosemary.

"Take her to Sister Lena's greenhouse! Rosemary is most stable there." Just as Kal'tsit was contemplating whether to send her back to her room or to a safe, controllable location, Kanna's voice came from the side.

Chapter 49 Chapter Forty-Five: Mission - Stealth Infiltration

Hearing Kanna's words, Kal'tsit looked over and saw Kanna standing at the opening, looking at Rosemary with concern.

"Isn't Rosemary asleep? I personally sent her back." Kanna asked, looking at the unconscious Rosemary, her brow furrowed in confusion.

"Alas, it's my fault, I was too impatient. The examination for her should have been done much earlier, but she's always been highly vigilant towards medical personnel. When I went to find her earlier, I saw she was sleeping soundly, so I thought I'd do the basic checks while she was asleep. However, when she was brought here, I had other matters to attend to, so I arranged for another doctor to receive her. I didn't expect this situation to arise."

Kal'tsit, uncharacteristically without riddles, rubbed her brow and followed Kanna towards Lena's greenhouse.

Upon arriving at the greenhouse, Lena, understanding the reason for their visit, quickly ushered them in. Even though there was a possibility that Rosemary might go berserk again if she woke up and destroy her greenhouse, Lena didn't hesitate at all.

Before long, Rosemary's fingers twitched, signaling her awakening. Everyone watched her nervously. Beside them, LOGOS silently began to gather his power, just in case he needed to control her again if she lost control.

When Rosemary awoke, she smelled a scent that put her at ease. As she opened her eyes, she saw the familiar dragon horns and a pair of worried eyes.

"I'm sorry," Rosemary whispered, remembering what had happened. She had been fast asleep when she suddenly woke up back in the ward. In a moment of emotional distress, she had almost harmed the person next to her.

"It's okay, it's okay! You can't be blamed entirely this time," Kanna said softly, gently pinching Rosemary's cheek to soothe her anxiety.

LOGOS, seeing that Rosemary had woken up without losing control, silently withdrew his magic.

Once Rosemary had peacefully fallen asleep again in Lena's arms, the others finally breathed a sigh of relief.

As they left, Kanna noticed LOGOS glancing at her intentionally and unintentionally. She tilted her head, looking back with a puzzled expression. "Something wrong?"

"I heard about you on the way back, and I've heard other Operators' evaluations of you recently."

"Well? Isn't Kanna amazing!" Kanna asked proudly, her tone full of confidence.

LOGOS, unaccustomed to dealing with children like this, didn't know how to respond and fell silent.

"What's wrong, why aren't you talking? Do you think Kanna isn't amazing enough? Want to spar?" LOGOS, the "King of Rhodes Island Pressure," found himself pinned against the wall by a little girl for the first time ever.

He had heard from ACE before that Kanna was a bit troublesome, but he hadn't believed it. Outcast had also said that while Kanna was a bit mischievous, she was very obedient and highly intelligent. So, he had just thought of her as a slightly clever, troublesome child, never expecting her to be this much of a handful.

Rarely, the heir to the Queen of the Banshees extended a signal for help to Kal'tsit.

Kal'tsit patted Kanna's dragon horns. "Alright, Kanna, I happen to have a mission. Are you willing to accept it?"

"Of course, hmph, Kanna is an elite Operator."

"I received intel that over a dozen Infected are holding a secret meeting in a lounge area on the lower levels. Red happens to be busy, so go check it out for me. You're also a member of SWEEP, so this will be a good opportunity to learn about the job." According to the intelligence Kal'tsit had received, the group meeting was composed of ordinary Infected. Even if there were those with ill intentions among them, they wouldn't be able to harm Kanna. Furthermore, Kanna's small stature would be very convenient for this mission. Therefore, assigning her to investigate what these people were up to would also conveniently resolve LOGOS's predicament.

This was Kanna's first solo mission, and she was a little excited.

Before Kal'tsit could explain where the target was, Kanna had already bounced away.

Seeing Kanna leave, LOGOS straightened his collar and vanished from his spot. He vowed that if it wasn't absolutely necessary, he would never appear before Kanna again. The children of today were too terrifying for his simple mind to handle.

When Kanna reached the lower levels of the ship, she suddenly realized she didn't have the exact location. Rhodes Island's lower levels were vast, and finding a dozen people secretly hiding to discuss matters was no easy feat.

At that moment, she felt tricked. "That old hag Kal'tsit has bad intentions, using a mission to fool this innocent little cub."

"Beep beep beep!"

Just then, her communicator chimed. Opening it, Kal'tsit's cold voice came through.

"The rooms where they're meeting are generally in the lounges in Area E. However, those people are wary of detection, so their meeting spot changes each time, but it's always within Area E. You'll need to search for it yourself. Remember, your mission is only reconnaissance. If it's not necessary, try not to expose yourself."

Kanna's face lit up with joy. "Secret infiltration, just like an assassin! I'm very familiar with that. As long as no one discovers me (and I eliminate anyone who does), I can easily complete the 'infiltration.'"

She patted her chest, assuring Kal'tsit that she would complete the mission perfectly.

As Kal'tsit felt a sense of foreboding, Kanna decisively hung up the communication.

Kanna was quite familiar with Rhodes Island's lower levels. After all, she had explored every corner of the facility to map out the surveillance system, especially the lower levels, as the exit routes were located there.

Soon, Kanna arrived at Area E and began to listen intently to her surroundings. Of course, to avoid arousing suspicion, she walked along the path with a curious expression, just like she always did.

In a room in Rhodes Island's Area E, a few ringleaders were brainwashing others.

"Think about it. Rhodes Island took us in, but what do we get? No salary, no compensation, no freedom. They just keep us alive with diluted medicine, forcing us to work all day for that damned medicine, and often working overtime. Originium infection is a lifelong condition. Do we have to live our lives in this dark, hopeless place, working for this damned Rhodes Island just because we have this disease? Can you stand it? I've had enough."

The leading extra, A, spoke with great passion, his constantly waving hands making his words incredibly infectious. Many in the audience were stirred by his speech.

"We want freedom, we want medicine! Since Rhodes Island is unwilling to give it to us, we'll take it by force!"

Chapter 50, Chapter 46: Facing Kindness, Some Will Always Be Ungrateful

Just as the previous speaker was finishing, red in the face, a round of applause could be heard.

He initially thought some fool had been completely convinced by his words. But when he looked up, he saw a small child wearing a white t-shirt with "Poor Chest" printed on it in large letters.

He frowned. "Where did this child come from? This is a meeting for adults, what is a little kid doing here?"

"Don't be like that. I think what you're saying is quite interesting. Please continue. By the way, what is our organization's charter, what are our current goals, what is the direction for the next phase, are there any like-minded comrades, and what is our overall objective...

Hey, hey, hey, even if we do snatch the medicine, how will it be distributed? How will we retreat after we snatch it? You can't possibly expect to lead us with just your mouth, right? Rhodes Island has so many Operators. What do we do if we encounter resistance? As far as I know, there are quite a few Sarkaz casters in Rhodes Island, and the highest leader is a core member of the medical department. Just charging in, let alone snatching medicine, you'd be lucky to even get into the pharmacy department."

Seeing the two subordinates of the leader preparing to grab her, Kanna nimbly pushed off with her short legs, hanging from the ceiling by her hands gripping the ventilation shaft. She wagged her tail triumphantly, spewing questions from her mouth.

The Infected who had been swayed by the speaker's words began to have doubts after hearing Kanna's questions. After all, they had seen the well-equipped security forces when they entered Rhodes Island. If there were truly casters among them, one of them could probably take down everyone present.

Moreover, the leader stammered and couldn't answer any of the questions, only angrily ordering his subordinates to capture the child, making everyone doubt what they were planning.

Some of the quicker-witted individuals were already preparing to leave. Rhodes Island wasn't that large, and if so many people gathered here were discovered, and the management considered them a threat, they might be thrown off the landship.

Just moments ago, Kanna had successfully located the group of people secretly gathering. Using her small stature, she had evaded the detection of the leader and his subordinates and slipped into the crowd, "joining" the meeting with a sense of amusement.

The content of the meeting did not disappoint her. There were indeed people who were reckless enough to target Rhodes Island. She didn't know if it was a spur-of-the-moment decision or if external forces were involved.

After he finished speaking, seeing that some people seemed to be moved by his inflammatory remarks, and thinking that most of them had been tricked into coming, she decided there was no need to die with this leader. She spoke in a teasing tone, letting the participants know how unreliable the people in charge were.

At that moment, the leader's subordinates were stacking on top of each other, swaying precariously as they approached Kanna, intending to capture the child who was hindering them.

Just as the hand of the person at the very top was about to touch Kanna, she shifted her weight, jumping onto the door.

Then, without haste, she took a work ID from her pocket and hung it on her chest, followed by taking out a communicator.

"Kal'tsit, did you hear everything? By the way, how should we deal with this?"

"Mm! Arrest the leader and all his subordinates. As for the rest of the participants... as long as they promise not to participate in destructive actions against Rhodes Island again, we'll let them off the hook." Kal'tsit's voice came through the communicator, clear for everyone present to hear.

When the leader heard Kal'tsit's words, he couldn't help but be filled with rage!

How dare a mere child order the arrest of so many people here? On what grounds!

Although his talent wasn't high, he had managed to secretly learn some Originium Arts. A mere child, couldn't he just crush them at will!

It was this Originium Art that gave him ambitions that weren't his own.

Sensing a slight fluctuation around the leader, Kanna knew this was the signal for him to unleash his Originium Arts. She stopped playing around. If so many people here were injured by this guy's Originium Arts, she would be criticized.

With a sudden leap, Kanna lightly jumped over everyone's heads and landed in front of the leader.

"Little Evil God Flying Kick, pfft! Eat my Nightfall Kick!"

Before her words even fell, the leader's head had already collided with Kanna's leg. Accompanied by the immense impact force coming head-on, he spun in mid-air before crashing heavily to the ground.

Kanna glanced at the leader, who had lost consciousness and was only gasping for air, and then at the accomplices nearby with their mouths agape, their jaws practically on the floor. She proudly patted her clothes and then pointed to the badge on her chest.

"Rhodes Island Internal Security Force S.W.E.E.P. is on duty. Except for the leader and his accomplices, everyone else, leave immediately. In one minute, I will consider anyone who did not participate in the physical assault and is still in this room to be an accomplice."

Although it seemed fantastical that such a small child was an Operator of Rhodes Island, the leader lying at her feet was undeniably real, right before everyone's eyes.

Upon hearing Kanna's words, those who had been fooled into coming and were unaware of the situation immediately panicked and rushed towards the exit. The accomplices, who had intended to slip away amidst the crowd, found a purple light flash before them as they reached the doorway. Following that, visible currents of electricity blocked them at the entrance.

"I only said they could leave. I never said you culprits could go! Don't rush. Since Kal'tsit received the message, the reinforcements should be on their way. Take a break and conserve your energy, lest you be dumped in this desolate wilderness and collapse from exhaustion before you even get out."

Thinking about the situation Kanna described, the accomplices' faces turned extremely grim. Kanna's proposed outcome was already the most merciful scenario. Most landships would dry and hang the bodies of those who attempted rebellion beneath the bridge as a warning to others.

"We're going to die either way, let's fight her!" Facing their imminent doom, the group's eyes turned red with desperation. They all drew weapons from their clothes and charged at Kanna, intending to capture her and use her as a hostage to threaten Rhodes Island's leaders.
