Chapter 313 Escape Plan!_4
At the time, I clearly wasn't discovered by anyone.
How did they find this place?
The small flying vehicle slowly stabilized, the hatch opened, and seven or eight fully armed soldiers jumped out.
Then a few men dressed in standard winter uniforms followed.
They almost immediately spotted the Frost "tent" here.
The leader made a gesture.
Everyone silently surrounded us.
Shen Ye checked the time.
It was still two minutes and seventeen seconds before he could synchronize with Lancy.
Just wait.
—After all, it was crucial to figure out how they had found Lancy.
Otherwise, even if they managed to escape this time, the pursuers would continue their hunt.
The group gradually closed in.
They surrounded Lancy.
"Boss, she's asleep, should we wake her up?"
"No, let her sleep a bit longer—this place is truly astonishing."
The crowd looked around.
"Creating a protective layer with Frost, this proves she can control ice and snow."
"She didn't have anything like a lighter, look at her hands, delicate and fair, doesn't seem like she started a fire by drilling wood."
"So she might be able to control fire as well."
"Amazing!"
The excited leader exclaimed.
The deputy standing next to him took out a device and activated it.
"Beep beep beep beep—"
The device emitted a series of urgent beeps, followed by a prompt:
"Experiment subject No. 72578619 found!"
"The subject is at the current location!"
Shen Ye had been quietly observing until that moment when he suddenly turned back to look at Lancy.
A tracker!
There was some sort of tracking device on Lancy.
Where could it be?
The leader stepped forward and felt Lancy's arm.
"The chip is still here."
"Seems she's unaware of what happened; probably fell by accident when the Flying Fortress exploded."
"She doesn't have a single injury!"
"Quick, capture the scenes around us and then report back."
"This subject must have evolved."
"Give her a sedative!"
"After the sedative, we'll take her back immediately—replace her chip when we return!"
Everyone suddenly got busy.
Shen Ye stood aside, lost in thought.
The girl was unaware of the chip.
So according to the original sequence of events, she was supposed to have encountered the bodies of some children and then developed a new personality.
She would have resisted, fled, but because she was unaware of the chip—
She must have suffered greatly.
Maybe she had escaped to a place far, far away.
Maybe she had blended into society.
But in the end, she would have been found and forced to fight with the pursuers before being captured and brought back.
And one day, she would learn the truth.
What a life it was.
Shen Ye hovered beside the young girl, watching as they administered the sedative and then carried her onto the flying vessel.
He did not intervene.
The flying vehicle rapidly climbed toward the sky.
The little girl was placed in the very center of the cabin, with everyone's eyes fixed on her.
Shen Ye sat by the bed.
At this point, he grew worried.
If Lancy were to suffer some kind of punishment from this organization next, or if she were to learn the truth about the Flying Fortress, it was unclear what kind of personality would split off from her.
Shen Ye subconsciously glanced at Lancy.
She was already awake and asked:
"Where am I?"
The tone was icy cold, the voice tinged with a touch of indifference.
Charlotte.
Her personality had switched to Charlotte!
The leader of the organization responded:
"We're on our way back to the base, don't talk, child, you can keep sleeping, we'll arrive soon."
He signaled to someone nearby with his eyes.
That person then pulled out a disposable sedative injector from their pocket.
"Uncle, don't bother, those drugs don't work on me—I've connected to the White world, and I'm not afraid of any drug effects."
While Charlotte spoke, she glanced at Shen Ye.
Shen Ye immediately understood.
She was telling him not to worry about putting her to sleep if he needed to rescue her.
The guard thought she was speaking to him and shook his head:
"Monster... I won't believe you."
The injector jabbed into her arm.
The medication was pushed to the end.
"Pretend to sleep. We need to go back and sort some things out," Shen Ye said.
"I don't want to go back to that place again," Charlotte sighed.
"What do you know?" the leader asked, wary.
"Hang in there. We must go back once, and then we can leave for good," Shen Ye encouraged.
"I'm scared," Charlotte said.
"What exactly are you afraid of?" the leader pressed.
"It's fine, I'm here. Let's go see if we can thoroughly solve the tracking problem," Shen Ye said.
"What if we can't?" Charlotte asked.
"Can't? What can't?" the leader asked insistently.
"I'll cause them a little trouble, making it impossible for them to find you for a short time, and then we'll think of another way," Shen Ye said.
"Alright, I trust you, but it's embarrassing to rely on you so much," Charlotte said.
"You trust me?" the leader laughed.
Shen Ye, however, saw a head appear behind Charlotte.
The head silently merged back into Charlotte's body.
—Was a new personality emerging?
No good.
The more personalities there are, the more complicated it gets.
Shen Ye spoke up, "The battles to come will inevitably be like this—"
"Like what?" Charlotte asked.
"You will endure all kinds of pain, like the drug you've just taken, and like the previous tests. You must fight against this pain and torment while also battling the enemy, and you have to win. If we can't win, we die together," Shen Ye said.
Charlotte was stunned.
"I guess—those thousands of tests must have hurt a lot, but I feel only you can bear it," Shen Ye surmised.
"It seems... I really am not afraid of these things," Charlotte murmured to herself.
"That's right, and how long does one of your tests usually take?" Shen Ye asked.
"10 hours."
"In battle, if you get stabbed by a knife, shot by a gun, burned by fire, or have a bone broken, the pain will linger continuously, with no doctors or healing. You must endure at least several days, and you have to heal yourself."
"Enduring pain... I can do that. As for healing, I can draw strength from the White world to heal myself." Continue reading on My Virtual Library Empire
"Hmm, that should work."
At this moment.
Shen Ye saw the head fly out from Charlotte's body again.
The head flew into the air, looked at Shen Ye with resentment, and then vanished.
Shen Ye's lips curled slightly in disdain.
Look all you want.
That kind of pain beyond what humans can endure, only Charlotte can withstand.
She is a genius, a sufferer, who can link to the Dharma Realm through pain and heal herself.
What kind of personality do you count as?
Get lost!
"Child, what are you not afraid of?" the leader asked.
"I understand now. I can't run away, and I have to take part in the fight," Charlotte said, looking at Shen Ye.
The leader followed her gaze, but all he saw was empty space.
"She's gone mad,"
the leader said to the person beside him.
