In the dark alley, a small, pale hand, like a giant spider, stumbled in.
The eyeballs on the back of its hand looked around, and after confirming that no one was around, its whole body began to wriggle and swell.
In the blink of an eye, his entire hand grew into a fleshy tumor the size of a human, writhing disgustingly in the alley.
However, this state lasted for less than a second before the entire tumor quickly transformed into a beautiful young woman with white hair reaching her waist.
" Hela No. 2 makes her appearance."
Hela opened her arms, her face expressionless as she announced her arrival.
He clenched his hands together and then looked himself up and down.
Currently, the strength of this Hela No. 2 is only about five percent of that of the original body. There's nothing I can do about it, since it only has the energy of one hand.
If it's five percent... that's roughly equivalent to ' Ten Thousand Stars ' in human terms.
That's enough; this strength is sufficient for Hela to complete her next mission.
Suddenly, Hela seemed to realize something serious and quickly reached into her abdomen to search inside.
But they found nothing.
"..."
Well, Hela forgot to give this clone some tools when she split her hand apart.
Looking at her empty little hand, Hela shrugged, and then a metal spike grew out of her palm.
Fortunately, there are still plenty of metallic elements stored in the body, all of which were absorbed from [Silver Ghost]. Their hardness is extraordinary and more than enough.
Having considered all of this, Hela nodded heavily and prepared to begin her journey!
The next step, which is also the most important, is to take the first step.
Hela walked out of the alley, grabbed a cell phone from a passerby, and then fled from the passerby's sight before sitting down on a nearby trash can.
Is [X] there?
Hela brought her mouth close to the phone microphone and called out [X].
[X], who usually responds instantly, took more than ten minutes to respond this time.
"I'm here, what's wrong...?"
Hela, too lazy to ask why it took so long to reply, gave a straightforward answer.
"Send me to the capital of Atan Country, and give me information about the garrison there."
That's right, this is the most important part of Hela's plan: seeking help from [X].
"... good."
Atan Country, Night Star Headquarters.
In a brightly lit room, a girl with pigtails, looking extremely pale and listless, was trembling as she spoke to the man in front of her.
While listening to the girl with pigtails, the man was scribbling something on a piece of paper.
However, the man's brows remained furrowed, as if he had only heard unpleasant words.
Finally, after another half hour, the girl finished telling the whole story, albeit haltingly.
The man put down his pen and let out a long sigh.
"Miss Ailifa, you must be exhausted after going through something like this."
He tried his best to keep his tone calm and offered gentle comfort.
The girl Ailifa's eyes immediately welled up with tears, and she couldn't help but sob softly.
The man didn't say anything more, just quietly stayed with her until Ailifa's emotions calmed down a bit before he spoke again.
"Although this question might hurt your feelings, I still want to ask you whether you clearly saw the two humans who helped [Life] at that time?"
Mentioning "[Life]" seemed to trigger some painful memory in the girl, and her whole body immediately trembled.
"No, no, I only remember... Brother Luo and the others were killed in an instant..."
"The captain and vice-captain were also eaten by those two monsters..."
The more she spoke, the paler the girl's face became, and she curled up into a ball.
"Alright, Miss Ailifa, you should go back and rest. Your safety is guaranteed by us, so don't worry."
As if the man's words had an effect, the girl nodded slightly, and her pale complexion improved a little.
Then, with the man's help, the girl walked out of the interrogation room and was escorted to her residence inside the building before the man left.
"Wait a minute, don't turn off the light... I'm scared..."
The girl curled up on the bed, stopping the man who was about to turn off the light and leave; her pitiful appearance evoked pity.
"Okay." The man smiled faintly, without turning off the light. After glancing at the girl, he closed the door.
After closing the door, he didn't leave. Instead, he leaned against the wall, lit a cigarette, and took a deep drag.
Just as the man exhaled a puff of white smoke, an elderly man with white hair, leaning on a cane, walked over unhurriedly.
"So, what did she say?"
The old man walked slowly, but the man didn't notice him until he spoke.
Upon seeing the old man, the man quickly took the cigarette out of his mouth and bowed respectfully.
"Hello Commander Qiao!"
"Stop asking so many questions, what have you even gotten out of you?"
The old man waved his hand impatiently, his hoarse voice urging him on again.
Upon seeing this, the man straightened up again.
"Miss Ailifa said that on the afternoon of January 9th, their team suddenly received a message from the Fallen God Group."
"They said that in the early hours of this morning, a [Five Calamities] would be inside their corporation, and they were instructed to immediately notify the [Godslaying] Squad to kill him at that time."
"Furthermore, according to Miss Ailifa, the tone of the message was extremely urgent, which doesn't seem fake."
"However, their team still didn't take it seriously. After all, the Fallen God Group was just an entertainment company; how could they possibly know where the [Five Calamities] would appear?"
"But they eventually went there that evening to check, and discovered that the building had exploded."
"Then they encountered someone who had been severely injured in the [Life] and two suspicious individuals. The two captains quickly went to kill them, but were killed instead. All the team members who went to subdue the suspicious individuals, except for Ailifa, were also killed."
"Miss Ailifa doesn't remember much after that, only that she was terrified at the time, and by the time she came to her senses, she had already notified the [Godslaying] Squad."
At this point, Commander Qiao suddenly interjected, "As a result, the [Godslaying] Squad also lost two captains."
The man paused for a moment, then lowered his head. "That's right... this is a devastating loss for our Night Star."
Commander Qiao nodded slightly, stroking his long beard a couple of times. "Have you found out the identities of those two suspicious people?"
"... No." The man shook his head somewhat sheepishly. " Ailifa said he was too terrified at the time and didn't see clearly."
Upon hearing this, the old man silently closed his eyes, pondered for a moment, and then opened them again.
"One week." His hoarse voice carried an overwhelming sense of pressure. "One week. After that time, regardless of whether she remembers or not, execute her immediately."
"What?!"
The man was taken aback, thinking he had misheard.
"I said... she must be executed in one week! And all records of the incident must be destroyed!"
Commander Qiao repeated himself, emphasizing his words.
The man's face was filled with shock and confusion. "Why?!"
"Why?" Commander Qiao sneered. "Do you want others to know about the stupid thing we did?"
"But..."
"No buts!"
Commander Qiao gave the man no further chance to speak, turned around, and walked away with faltering steps.
Only the man remained, holding a half-smoked cigarette, staring thoughtfully at the closed door in the distance.
