Chapter 134“You were the first.”Camilla stared at the recording, unable to breathe properly. The words echoed inside her head, refusing to make sense.“The first?” she whispered.Dominic immediately moved closer to her. “Camilla…”She shook her head and stepped toward the old cribs. Her eyes moved from one label to another.Her fingers trembled as she touched the wooden edge.“If I was the first, then why are there records of me being Subject 002?” she asked.Nobody answered, Sophia stood several feet away, staring at the crib as though she had seen a ghost.“You know something,” Camilla said.Sophia looked at her.“Don't lie to me.”Sophia swallowed. “I knew there was something wrong with the records. I just didn't know what.”“You called yourself Subject Zero.”“I was.”“Then how can I be the first?”Sophia's eyes dropped.“Because Subject Zero doesn't mean first.”The room suddenly became silent, camilla slowly turned toward her.“What does it mean?”Sophia hesitated.“It means t

Chapter 133Camilla stared at the door as the voice echoed through the chamber.“Choose.”Her fingers tightened around the silver pendant. She could hear Dominic breathing behind her, the sound of weapons being raised around them, and the distant alarms screaming throughout the underground facility.Richard pointed his gun at Dominic. “You heard him. Open the core.”Camilla didn't move.Her grandfather watched her carefully. “Don't listen to Richard. Once he gets control of the system, none of you will leave this place alive.”Richard laughed. “Still lying to her after all these years?”Camilla turned toward him. “Then tell me the truth.”Richard smiled. “Your grandfather wants you to destroy Blackcrest because he knows he can't control it anymore. But if you open the core for me, I can give you everything you lost.”“My mother?”“Yes.”“My memories?”“Yes.”“My sisters?”Richard nodded. “All of them.”Sophia stepped forward. “He's lying.”Richard looked at her. “You would say that.”

Chapter 132Cold air rushed through the chamber, carrying the smell of dust and something metallic. Camilla stood frozen, staring into the darkness beyond it dominic moved in front of her.“Stay behind me.”Camilla barely heard him, her eyes were fixed on the figure sitting at the end of the room.Her grandfather is alive.Older than she remembered, with deep lines across his face and silver hair covering most of his head. He sat in a black chair surrounded by monitors, cables, and old Blackcrest equipment.He looked exactly like the man from her childhood memories.Camilla's voice trembled.“You.”Her grandfather smiled.“Yes.”“You're alive.”“I've been alive all this time.”“Why?”His smile disappeared.“Because dying would have been easier.”Camilla stepped forward.“You let everyone believe you were dead.”“I needed them to believe it.”“You let my mother believe you were dead.”“She knew the truth.”Camilla's eyes narrowed.“You imprisoned her.”“I protected her.”“You call keep

Chapter 131Richard pulled the trigger, the gunshot tore through the chamber.Camilla barely had time to react before Dominic lunged forward and knocked her aside.The bullet struck the metal railing behind them.“Get down!” Dominic shouted.Marcus fired back.Richard's men immediately returned fire, forcing everyone behind the machines.Camilla grabbed Sophia and pulled her down.“Are you hurt?”Sophia shook her head.“No.”Camilla looked toward Dominic.He was crouched behind a pillar, firing toward the entrance.“Dominic!”“I'm fine!”Another bullet struck the wall beside him, Elena pulled Isabella behind a machine.“Stay down!”Isabella looked toward their mother.“She can't stay here.”“I know.”“We have to get her out.”“We will.”The elderly woman suddenly stepped into the open.“Stop!”Everyone froze.Richard lowered his weapon slightly, the woman looked directly at him.“You were told not to kill Subject Zero.”Richard's expression hardened.“The order has changed.”“By whom?

Chapter 130Camilla squeezed her eyes shut as a powerful wave of heat rushed past her. Dominic pulled her backward while Marcus grabbed Elena and Isabella, keeping them away from the collapsing floor.Then everything went silent, Camilla slowly opened her eyes her mother was still there.Sitting in the center of the enormous chamber, surrounded by machines and thick cables, she looked much older than Camilla remembered. Her hair was streaked with gray, her face was thinner, and several wires disappeared beneath the collar of her clothes.But she was alive.“Mom…”Her mother's eyes filled with tears.“Camilla.”Camilla tried to move toward her, but the woman who had brought them there raised her hand.“Don't.”Camilla turned sharply. “Why?”“Because the machines are still active.”Camilla looked at the cables surrounding her mother.“What are they doing to her?”Her mother answered weakly.“Keeping me alive.”The words broke something inside Camilla.She stepped closer to the edge of t

Chapter 129Sophia took a step backward.“No.”The voice came again, deeper this time.“Subject Zero. Come home.”Camilla looked at her. “Sophia, who is that?”Sophia shook her head.“I don't know.”The doctor immediately grabbed her arm.“We have to leave.”Sophia pulled away. “No.”“They found us.”“I said no!”Another explosion shook the building. Pieces of the ceiling fell around them.Dominic grabbed Camilla and pulled her behind a concrete pillar. “Everyone stay down!”More gunshots echoed through the corridor.Marcus fired back while Elena dragged Isabella farther into the room.The doctor looked at the screens.“They're already inside.”Camilla stared at him. “Who?”He swallowed.“The original Blackcrest.”“What does that mean?”“The organization existed before your grandfather. Before your father. Before anyone you've met.”Camilla's eyes narrowed.“Then who controls it?”The doctor looked at Sophia.“They do.”A sudden silence fell over the building, then footsteps sounded o
