Chapter 36: Landing safely?

"Ma'am, Li Nuo asked me to tell you something."

Experimental department, Kram Cigarette Factory, supervisor's office.

Isabel was reading the experimental data in the Thinker when Amy's voice came from the private communicator beside her.

Isabel was impressed by Amy and had a positive impression of her. Amy was a girl who longed to make a career like herself, and she made Isabel see her former self.

As for the "Li Nuo" mentioned by Amy.

Isabel recalled quietly and found the name on the list of apprentices to be recruited this time.

Li Nuo's learning and thinking abilities far exceed those of his peers, making him very suitable for scientific research. However, because he has a strong will and can withstand the illusions of the ghost mushrooms, he is snatched away by Robnos.

He asked Robnos for people several times, but was rejected every time.

Seeing that the candidates for the collection department's regularization had been determined and Li Nuo was on the list, Isabel gave up the idea of transferring him to her own department.

"Come on, Amy, what does Li Nuo want to tell me?"

"Ma'am, Robnos is a spy planted by the Reconciliation Cult in the Kram family. He used his supervisory authority to secretly recruit cult members into the collection department. Among the ten apprentices in the collection department who are about to be converted to regular employees, except for Li Nuo, the rest are members of the Reconciliation Cult. In addition, Li Nuo will lead two cult members to the vicinity of the cigarette factory in a while, and he needs your support."

Amy said something shocking.

Isabel's fingers on the keyboard tightened involuntarily:
"Does Li Nuo have any evidence?"

"Yes. One of the pieces of evidence is the genetic template used to check the genetic purity of apprentices in the collection department. This template was manually written by Robnos, and it mainly refers to the genes of the cultists. Robnos used this template to help the cultists pass the genetic test."

Isabel tapped on the keyboard, and lines of text appeared on the Thinker's display.

“Request to review ///Collection department structure //Department log/Gene examination template.

“Initiate identification process.

"Your identity is ///Kram Cigarette Factory//Experimental Department Director//C-to-C level clearance.

"Your application has been rejected by the collection department structure.

"Rejection reason: insufficient authority, access prohibited."

Isabel raised an eyebrow, pulled the necklace out of her collar, opened the pendant, and took out the metal piece hidden in the pendant.

She used the metal sheet to cut a hole on her fingertip, letting the blood soak the patterns on the metal sheet, and then inserted it into the slot of the Thinker.

“Initiate identification process.

"Your identity is ///Cram family//third in line to succession//A-tR level clearance.

“Duplicate submission of access request.

"Your application has been approved.

“///Collection Department Structure//Department Log/Gene Examination Template is as follows:
"... "

The double-helix gene template is displayed on the screen, and the dense annotations are dazzling.

Isabel pulled the interface out of her sleeve and connected it to the Thinker.

A huge amount of binary data poured into her brain at an extremely fast rate, and the intracranial implant helped to process the data flow.

Isabel quickly came to a conclusion.

The genetic template manually written by Robnos is almost identical to the template used to check the genetic purity of artificial psykers, with no obvious flaws.

However, there was a problem with the timing of uploading the genetic template to the Meditator array.

The log information shows that the current genetic template started to be uploaded at 11:00 this morning and was completed at 4:00 this afternoon.

Other data in the collection department's database have also undergone drastic changes. The original data has been completely overwritten by the new data, making it almost impossible to retrieve the original data.

These operations seem to be an attempt to cover up something.

Isabel briefly chatted with Amy, hung up the private communication, and activated the sound array device inside the cigarette factory:
"Borg."

"At your service, ma'am. What are your orders?"

"Where is Rob North now?"

"According to the latest surveillance data, he is located in the recycling department's morgue."

Morgue?
What was Rob Noss doing there?
and many more!

Corpses! The bodies of the apprentices who died from the ghost potion are in the morgue!

Robnos had specifically requested that the bodies be placed there!
Isabel's eyes flickered slightly, and she felt uneasy. She ordered:
"Mobilize the security personnel near the morgue, cordon off the room where Robnos is, and order him to come out for negotiations. When Robnos shows up, try to control him. As the third in line to the Crum family, I authorize you to lift the security restrictions on weapons."

"At your command, ma'am. Security is on the way."

"One more thing." Isabel rubbed her brow and asked, "Where is Kelly?"

There was a silence on the other end of the line. Borg, who used to speak fluently, began to stammer:
".Ms. Master Kelly is playing cards in his office with two female apprentices..."

"Oh, I really am..." Isabel wanted to complain, but she held back in front of the servants.

"Increase the security level in the area where Kelly is and let him have fun. Tell Vince to keep an eye on Kelly and don't let him cause any trouble."

"As you command, ma'am. Butler Vince is on his way."

After a while, Borg sent a voice message:
"Ma'am, the latest news is that fighting has begun near the morgue. I request that the surveillance footage be connected to your Thinker."

"Come in."

The double-helix gene image on the Thinker's screen disappeared, and the mosaic-like stripes flashed rapidly, switching to the real-time monitoring screen within half a second.

The picture is from Borg's perspective.

The security chief is directing the security personnel to fight. Their enemy is a red and black short-haired monster with an ugly face and a twisted body.

The monster is swift and has incredible physical strength, allowing it to easily leave dents on metal walls.

They poured out of the morgue, running wildly under the torrential red lasers, aiming directly at the makeshift defense line set up by security personnel in the corridor.

Fortunately, Isabel authorized the lifting of safety restrictions on weapons in advance, otherwise the laser gun with greatly reduced power would not be able to stop these rampaging monsters.

Red beams of light, much thicker than before, poured out, piercing through the monster's body like countless sharp daggers, leaving behind black holes that emitted a strong burnt smell.

With full firepower, all the monsters in the passage were killed in just two rounds of volleys.

There were corpses all over the ground and sewage flowing everywhere, but there was no sign of Robnos.

Isabel ordered, "Switch to the morgue's internal surveillance."

Borg responded immediately:

"The surveillance inside the morgue has been destroyed. Requesting entry into the morgue to search for the target."

"Approved application, act quickly, beware of ambushes."

"Yes, ma'am."

Borg waved his hand and led the security personnel to the morgue in a hurry.

Just when he was halfway there, Borg's prosthetic eye suddenly flashed red.

Explosion signal detected!
Borg yelled:

"Get down!"

A loud rumbling noise was heard from the morgue.

A violent gust of air carrying high temperatures rushed towards us, and bright red flames poured into the corridor from the morgue.

The flames did not spread to Borg and the others, but the impact of the explosion caused their bodies to shake violently.

Within a second of the explosion, Borg received a warning from the building's external defense system.

"Ma'am, someone blew through the outside wall of the building, and he's gliding through the air."

While reporting the situation, Borg strode forward against the turbulent air currents and rushed into the morgue.

A huge gap suddenly appeared on the outer wall, with red marks of burning remaining on the edge of the gap, and curls of black smoke drifted into the building along with the air from outside.

Looking into the distance, a figure was using a parachute to move away from the factory building.

I don’t know what this man saw, but he suddenly changed the direction of his slide and fell straight to the ground in a steep arc.

 The author has moved the work of correcting typos after the update from midnight to 7 am. I can't stand going to bed after midnight for more than ten days in a row. If readers who read earlier find any typos, please forgive me.
