Azu paused abruptly as he grabbed the other person's hand, cursing them inwardly.

You coward, who do you think you are? You're still being commanded by the evil starlight...

His statement extinguished Azu's longing for this counterpart. The starlight, which feared evil, had become so frightened that it was probably not a dominant figure in the parallel world...

If you want to ask for help, you have to ask someone else.

that……

Azu once again turned his pleading gaze to his female version of Farah—the soldier girl.

The soldier girl felt a chill run down her spine at the sight of her pleading gaze and immediately cursed:

"Fuck you, why are you looking at me? Have you lost your mind? Can't you see that I'm still the same even though you're folding me up?"

Don't you know whether you can turn back or not? Get lost, don't bother me... I get angry just looking at you!

This silly child has no sense of propriety at all. Isn't he just bringing up a sore spot?

Instead of engaging in internal strife, the girl immediately launched into a tirade, thoroughly berating her and extinguishing the last glimmer of hope in Azu's heart.

Having received no help from anyone, she wisely stepped aside and flew away alone, feeling forlorn...

……

Harmonyburg, western Pennsylvania.

The long-abandoned building once again welcomed its guests from afar—

Morgan and his group arrived here, led by the soldier boy, and came to the front of this former military hospital and secret laboratory.

"Phew~ This is it. This is where I received the injection of the original V. If the original V still exists in this world, then this is probably the only place where it is stored!"

"Hey, you foot-sucking boy, are you sure this is the place where you guys did your V experiment?"

"That's a bit weird..."

Morgan stood before a pile of corpses infested with twisted plants and asked him in a slightly skeptical tone.

"Little Bi...you little brat, don't imitate Butcher's 'oi, oi' all the time. I'm not confused. Of course I'm sure it's here!"

As for these corpses outside... perhaps something I don't know about has happened over the years..."

The soldier boy looked at the large circle of corpses before him, a slight tremor running through his heart. He might have once recognized these bodies, but now they were all rotten beyond recognition...

While feeling sorry for them, the soldier boy was also filled with doubt.

The defenses here were top-notch back then, so how could everyone inside have died, and the buildings are now completely dilapidated...?

"This is where I injected V, and I also trained here to familiarize myself with my abilities. As for why it looks the way it does now, I have no idea..."

A ripple of mind magic flashed across Morgan's hand, confirming the soldier boy's words: this was indeed the place where the other party received the injection and training.

As for why it has become so dilapidated... let me see...

Morgan crossed his arms over his chest, took out the Eye of Agamotto, and began to scan the entire building without any blind spots.

From the perspective of the Eye of Agamotto, the entire Harmony Keep was covered in strange plant spores, the source of which was a man "stuck" in a wall underground. His body was almost completely fused with the wall, and all his blood vessels had been replaced by plant vines and the like. Every breath he took was releasing spores...

"Holy crap, he's really in a vegetative state..."

Such a catastrophic mutation failure is rare even in my own world, where "failures" abound...

Before Morgan could add any further comment...

At this moment, the vegetative person had already discovered them using the spore network he had established nearby, and launched an "attack" on them. Countless spores were now overwhelming them.

"Spore attack?"

Morgan waved his hand, and an invisible barrier enveloped everyone in the team, isolating all the spores from the outside.

Morgan and his companions remained completely unaffected by the overwhelming spores.

Immediately afterwards, Morgan's hand lit up, and a miniature beam of light pierced through the entire building, precisely striking the vegetative person. He then controlled the beam to sever the "blood vessels" and vines around the person, causing them to lose their ability to control the spores.

"Phew~ Alright, danger's over, we can go in now..."

Oh, right, there was a monster inside. I spared his life; consider it payment for guiding you..."

The monster's attacks were mostly directed at the soldier boy, so the two must know each other, perhaps even be old acquaintances?

The soldier boy standing nearby was stunned upon hearing this. The crisis was averted! Wow, that was it!

Was it a bit too hasty of me to call her "little girl"?

Phew, thankfully, she doesn't seem to mind...

……

Ten minutes later, inside the underground structure of Harmony Fort.

Morgan received both good news and bad news. The bad news was that the original V was not available.

The good news is that in the monster's room, the soldier boy and girl were both stunned.

"Quinn?"

"elder brother?"

"Any gossip?"

Morgan took out a watermelon and watched from inside the protective shield as the two stood frozen in front of the monster...

Even though all that remained of the monster was its face, revealing its former features, the soldier and the girl immediately recognized it...

The monster that releases spores is none other than their own brother—Quinn!

"How is this possible...?"
