Foundation Exusiai, Containment Breach!

At first sight of the woman, Xiao Huasheng did not have a very good impression of her.

She felt very similar to the Slaanesh incarnation she had seen earlier.

That made Xiao Huasheng shudder, instantly bringing back unpleasant memories.

Item Number: Entity-166

Object Class: Euclid

Description: Entity-166 could be safely kept in an environment with only the lowest level of security.

Currently, Entity-166 resided in a Class-B containment chamber at Site-17.

The chamber was equipped with religious items and other objects requested by Entity-166. She possessed an extremely powerful ability to seduce men. Without permission, no male personnel were allowed to approach Entity-166. Violators would be executed according to protocol.

A young succubus—that was 166.

She stood before Xiao Huasheng in a dignified nun's habit. Her allure was so potent that even women could potentially be seduced by remaining near her for too long.

"Who are you? Why are you here?"

Xiao Huasheng did not understand why the succubus before her wore such clothes.

So she turned the question back on the succubus.

Hearing that, the succubus looked surprised for a moment, then covered her mouth and giggled. "Hehehe, you really are interesting. Shouldn't I be the one asking you that?"

That seemed right, but she did not want to get too entangled with the succubus before her.

"Where's the exit?"

But at that moment, the succubus leaned in and gently sniffed her.

"You have the same scent as me..."

"How could I..."

Xiao Huasheng shrank back. She once again felt that something bad was about to happen.

The succubus lightly brushed Xiao Huasheng's chin with her fingertips, lifting her faintly trembling face.

Those bewitching eyes gleamed with amusement. Her red lips approached Xiao Huasheng's ear, and warm breath carried a sweet, cloying whisper. "Don't be so quick to deny it."

She suddenly stuck out her tongue and gave Xiao Huasheng's cheek the lightest lick.

The cool, wet sensation made Xiao Huasheng's entire body stiffen. The succubus, however, narrowed her eyes as if she had tasted some exquisite delicacy, a pleased chuckle spilling from her throat. "Just as I thought..."

Her thumb rubbed the spot she had just licked. "There's a mark here from the same source as mine, isn't there?"

Xiao Huasheng abruptly shoved her away and stumbled back two steps, fiercely wiping her cheek with the back of her hand.

"How could that be?!"

But then she remembered how easily the Slaanesh incarnation had let her go.

Suddenly, Xiao Huasheng felt as though the sky had fallen.

Could it be that she was going to become a succubus?

The news was like a bolt from the blue, exploding in her mind.

Sometimes, even angels felt helpless.

"Shh..." The succubus raised a finger to her lips, and the collar of her nun's habit slipped open slightly with the movement.

"They'll hear us."

The succubus pressed her body directly against Xiao Huasheng's, their bodies tightly fitted together.

"Wait, wait?"

Just like that, the succubus pushed the red-haired angel onto the bed, looking down at her with those pitiful eyes.

Caught off guard, Xiao Huasheng blushed, and her breathing quickened.

The succubus chuckled, pinned down her hands, and bent over to look at the angel before her.

"I really want to play with you until you're a complete mess."

Xiao Huasheng's brain crashed.

Fortunately, nothing she had feared happened.

The succubus became serious again. She gave a light cough and spoke to Xiao Huasheng.

"Anyway, be careful of this blessing. If you get the chance, make sure to remove it. Otherwise, you'll become like me."

A sorrowful expression appeared on the girl's face.

Xiao Huasheng clutched the bedsheets and replied while trembling.

"I think... whether I have this blessing or not, it seems like it makes no difference. In the end, won't everything still turn into a complete mess?!"

Her accusation made even the succubus cough awkwardly twice.

The girl waved at Xiao Huasheng.

"If you get the chance, you can come play with me again."

Whether it was Slaanesh or the succubus girl, both had come dangerously close to giving her psychological trauma.

Fortunately, both of them were very good at stopping just short of the line.

[You were actually looking forward to it, weren't you?] Angela's voice popped up again.

"Of course not!" Xiao Huasheng immediately retorted, her face flushing red.

The succubus lightly rose from atop her. Tilting her head, she revealed a sly smile.

"All right, I'll stop teasing you." She pointed toward the door. "If you want to leave, just walk out. The door isn't locked."

"It... isn't locked?" Xiao Huasheng froze and instinctively looked toward the heavy metal door.

How could there be an unlocked door in a Foundation containment facility?

But the succubus merely blinked, her smile profound.

"If you don't believe me, try it yourself?"

Xiao Huasheng hesitated for a moment, but still climbed off the bed and cautiously walked toward the door.

The moment her fingers touched the handle, she discovered that it really was unlocked.

With a gentle push, the door slid open without a sound.

The corridor lights were cold white and glaring. Surveillance cameras hung silently in the corners, while distant footsteps and the static of communicators could faintly be heard.

Everything was normal.

Xiao Huasheng looked back. The succubus still stood beside the bed, her hands folded before her, smiling elegantly.

Taking advantage of the opportunity,

she slowly walked through the Foundation.

At the same time, she greeted every staff member she encountered.

But when those Foundation employees saw the halo above her head, every one of them was terrified out of their wits.

They immediately ran off in a hurry.

Xiao Huasheng helplessly shrugged. She slowly made her way into the cafeteria and casually took a tray.

She scooped herself some mashed potatoes, grabbed a small apple, and began to eat.

As she ate, she began to think.

Sometimes, she suspected that the portal was not the cause. Perhaps there was another possibility—it might have been entirely because of her.

Was her body simply too special, making it impossible for her to leave this world?

No matter how far she ran, would she be pulled back into the Foundation after a certain amount of time?

Xiao Huasheng still needed enough conjectures to verify that guess.

But at least she had a slight lead now.

Being teleported back twice had given her the urge to explore the truth.

Just as she slowly finished her mashed potatoes and lay back to eat the little apple,

a task force surrounded her.

Facing the black gun barrels, she silently raised her hands, prepared to surrender without resistance.

If she wanted to learn some secrets, perhaps cooperating with the Foundation would be a good choice.

At this time,

three months had already passed since Xiao Huasheng escaped from the Foundation.

In the surveillance room, Supervisor Jin Li worked without sleep or rest. Looking at the red-haired angel being contained on the monitor, he lightly bit his index finger.

Then he slowly lowered it, drank his coffee, and said wearily, "Contain her. Give her better conditions. I have something I want to ask her."

After the death of his adopted daughter, Ku Tang, the supervisor's mental state had worsened by the day.

The Foundation was considering whether to erase his memories in order to preserve his efficiency.

But to avoid that, Jin Li had not slept a single day for three months.

All to preserve the precious memories of his time with Ku Tang.

Will You Become a Star and Stay With Me?

When Jin Li set down his coffee cup, the ceramic struck the metal tabletop with a crisp sound.

The blue light of the surveillance screen flickered in his eyes, illuminating those bloodshot pupils.

He stared at Xiao Huasheng being escorted on the screen. The red-haired angel obediently followed the task force members, her halo glowing faintly beneath the fluorescent lights.

"Prepare Meeting Room A-12." He suddenly spoke, his voice hoarse like sandpaper scraping. "I'll conduct the interview personally."

The new assistant hesitated. "But you've already gone seventy-two hours—"

"I said, now." Jin Li raised his voice, tugging loose his tie. The veins on his Adam's apple pulsed with every swallow.

He grabbed the memory enhancer syringe from the desk and drove it into his carotid artery without hesitation.

The moment the drug entered his body, his temples began to throb.

Surveillance footage from the day Ku Tang died flashed across his retinas. How desperate had the girl been when she was torn apart before her death? Her hair, which she had always carefully groomed... had been scattered all over the ground that day.

There was no light left in his eyes.

"This isn't a containment chamber. Where are they taking me?"

Xiao Huasheng looked around, and suddenly a terrifying thought appeared in her mind.

Could the Foundation be planning to execute her?

After all, she truly had not been very well-behaved, and she had escaped twice.

If they were going to execute her without reason again, Xiao Huasheng's choice

would definitely be to run away on the spot. It did not matter where she ran, as long as she got far away from the Foundation.

But before things reached the point of no return, perhaps Xiao Huasheng could still try to negotiate.

Unexpectedly, when the door ahead opened again,

what appeared was not a barrage of bullets, nor some horrifying monster.

It was only a man, a man who looked very tired.

The man in a suit dragged his shadow into the room.

In the end, Jin Li sat down across from her. Electrode patches for monitoring brain waves showed beneath his cuffs, while blue fluorescent residue from injections still remained on his skin.

"What exactly are you?"
