Fortune's Daughter?

Elsewhere.

Deep beneath A City.

An underground scientific research laboratory.

Far from the surface and cut off from all signals, it was surrounded by heavy alloy walls and sealed year-round, never seeing daylight. It was dedicated to researching forbidden modification experiments, Monster Demon cell fusion, and superhuman ability enhancement. It was the most dangerous secret Defectors stronghold in the entire city.

Under normal circumstances, the laboratory maintained a constant temperature and remained quiet. Its instruments ran steadily, and all modified test subjects were securely locked in cages under dedicated twenty-four-hour supervision. Nothing ever went wrong.

But at this moment, red warning lights flashed wildly throughout the underground laboratory, while piercing alarms echoed through every corridor and every testing chamber.

"Whee-oo~ whee-oo~"

The flickering red light dyed the cold instruments crimson, and the atmosphere instantly became tense to the extreme.

Before the laboratory's central control console, the doctor in a white lab coat and monocle suddenly looked up at the alarm screen. His expression immediately darkened.

"All alarms have been triggered, and every security system is malfunctioning. What happened?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a Red Traitor clad in red armor stumbled into the control room, his face full of panic. Even his voice trembled as he hurriedly reported.

"Doctor! Bad news! Something terrible has happened! Test Subject 666 broke free of her restraints and smashed through the high-security cell to escape! Test Subject 777, who was being held next door, has disappeared too!"

The doctor frowned deeply, a terrible premonition instantly rising in his heart.

Immediately afterward, another set of hurried footsteps rang out. A Black Defector in pitch-black battle armor, radiating a cold aura, rushed inside. He dropped to one knee and spoke with extreme urgency.

"Emergency report, Doctor! The entire seventh-rank extraordinary reserve vault has been unsealed!
