Foundation Exusiai, Containment Breach!

Shoot out its eyes first.

Her vision vanished.

Crack, crack, crack!

The teeth-grating sounds of bones breaking rose and fell throughout the room once more.

Entity 096 twisted into a grotesque shape again.

Without mercy, she pulled the trigger and tore it to pieces.

Then she watched it rise again.

Without realizing it, this tug-of-war had formed a particularly bizarre balance.

096 rose, had its bones broken, rose again, and had its bones broken again.

One entity alone was already this difficult to deal with. It was hard to imagine what the Foundation's other entities were like.

The bone-chilling sounds of fractures continued for three days and three nights.

Their battle even tore through the containment chamber next door.

Only after a gunshot rang out did the largest remaining fragment, no bigger than a skull, finally stop moving.

Xiao Huasheng had become a blood-covered mess, her entire body smeared with 096's blood and flesh.

Its regenerative ability was simply too powerful, powerful to an outrageous degree.

But this time, 096 did not regenerate again.

"Is it over?"

She gripped her machine gun tightly, staring blankly at the space before her, which had been reduced to a mangled mess.

The containment chamber was riddled with holes, with not a single intact spot left.

Entity 096's blood had flowed all the way into the corridor.

At last, that irritating roar was gone.

Once she realized that,

Xiao Huasheng shouted and finally let out a sigh of relief.

"It's finally over!!"

She put away the machine gun, dropped onto the pool of blood, and lay back against the flesh.

She could feel that her body still possessed endless strength, but her mental energy was nearly exhausted.

In the brief moment when she slightly closed her eyes—

"Wuuuuuu..."

Miserable sobbing gradually drifted over.

???

Xiao Huasheng looked up and saw a pale figure standing atop the flesh, covering its face as it cried.

"Are you kidding me?"

This was too absurd. She had thought it was over.

Just as she braced herself, met 096's eyes, and prepared for another round of pulverizing combat—

"Wuuuuuu!"

The moment 096 saw her, it covered its face.

It retreated toward the corner, its eyes filled with terror.

It did not attack again.

"Wasn't it supposed to be a fight to the death? I thought you'd keep staring at me forever."

Honestly, from the fifth hour of the battle onward,

Xiao Huasheng had simply been abusing it. 096 had been helplessly beaten for three days and three nights, until only its head remained.

All 096 felt toward her now was fear.

It was unwilling to even come near her.

"Lobotomy Corporation, interested?" Xiao Huasheng took out a contract and waved it before him.

096 merely cried, turned around, and ignored her.

Angela's voice sounded in her mind.

[Energy is down to 41%... Do you have any more sins to confess?]

Energy was running lower and lower.

"What a huge loss..."

She opened her mouth, then closed her eyes. Angel.

The Mobile Task Force waited in the distant corridor, and no one knew what they had been going through.

Ever since three days ago, the sounds of marrow-deep fractures had never stopped.

They only fell silent after a gunshot rang out.

And 096's terrifying cries were gone as well.

Could it be—

Had the execution succeeded?

Just as that thought arose,

the Mobile Task Force members clearly heard heavy panting coming from the end of the hallway.

The source of that panting was Xiao Huasheng.

As she walked, she suddenly felt her body grow far more exhausted.

She was currently trying to return.

Her head hurt so badly...

She wanted to sleep.

Supporting herself against the wall, she staggered forward with one hand clutching her head.

During this time,

the heat within her body continued to rise.

Using too much energy was also quite a burden on Xiao Huasheng.

Angela's voice rang out in her mind.

[Too much energy has been used. One Sin and Hundreds of Good Deeds has breached containment... Fortunately, it poses little threat. I've already put it back. Once we have surplus energy, I'll improve the energy circulation system. By then, perhaps you'll be able to unleash your power more effectively...]

But Xiao Huasheng's consciousness was already growing hazy.

Misfortunes never came alone.

Exusiai's memories began to blend continuously with her muddled consciousness.

A pink figure inexplicably appeared before Xiao Huasheng, smiling at her.

Xiao Le, you can't be this spoiled anymore, okay?

"Big Sis An... I want to sleep."

After another stagger, she let out a soft cry and collapsed.

This time, she fell flat onto the ground.

Her headache became even worse.

"Help me, Mostima..."

Everything before her had become a blur. She instinctively reached out, trying to grasp that illusory figure.

Unfortunately, she grasped nothing but empty air.

Her arm trembled in the air a few more times before she fell to the ground and stopped moving.

Her eyes slowly closed, and her breathing became steady.

She had fallen asleep just like that.

When all the Mobile Task Force members arrived, they found this scene.

Seeing Xiao Huasheng covered in blood, the captain's pupils contracted.

He crouched down, removed his glove, and placed his fingers beneath her nose. Cool breath brushed against his clean fingertips.

The captain let out a long breath and took out his radio.

"This is Alpha Squad. Entity 096... execution failed. Angel has fallen unconscious after seventy-six hours of combat."

Inside a hospital room,

an unusual sight awaited.

Amid the scent of disinfectant,

a red-haired Angel lay on a spotless hospital bed, a halo floating above her head.

Her long eyelashes trembled slightly. Her head rested against the pillow as drool ran from the corner of her mouth, and she looked as though she were sleeping soundly.

Beside her stood a white-haired girl dressed in ordinary casual clothes, keeping watch.

She held a file in her hands.

The file clearly detailed everything concerning Entity-173-1.

A doctor in a white coat slowly approached, holding a notepad as he spoke.

"This patient's body showed no organs under X-ray examination."

As he spoke, the doctor showed Ku Tang the image. Sure enough,

there were truly no organs in the scan, only something resembling crystallized matter gathered in her head.

"I understand. Thank you."

"Director, I have to ask... Is it really all right to leave an entity here?"

The doctor could not help but say it.

This was simply too strange. Even if they were the Foundation, that did not mean entities could just wander around everywhere, did it?

And since when did entities come running to the infirmary?

"I'm Not Xiao Huasheng, I'm Xiao Huasheng, Xiao What-sheng?"

"She's special, so don't worry. Everything has been approved. She's allowed to move freely within the Foundation."

Hearing that, the doctor could only let it go.

Who could fail to see that Ku Tang was deeply infatuated with the Angel before her?

Noticing it was one thing; saying it aloud was another.

Perhaps even Ku Tang herself had not realized that after that encounter, she had fallen in love at first sight.

She wanted to see

whether the Angel who had planted a seed called 'hope' in her heart could find happiness.

"What exactly happened?"

Ku Tang reached out, wanting to touch Xiao Huasheng's cheek. She was sleeping quite soundly.
