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 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 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 136Camilla stared at the mirror in shock, she can't believe what she just read. “Who did I kill?”No one answered.The words on the glass remained there, covered in the thin trail of blood.NOW REMEMBER WHO YOU KILLED.Dominic moved closer to the mirror. “This could be another trick.”Sophia shook her head. “No. Blackcrest doesn't write messages like this.”Camilla turned to her. “Then what does it mean?”Sophia looked at the cracked mirror.“It means the system is trying to unlock a memory.”Camilla's chest tightened. “Then unlock it.”“Camilla—”“I'm tired of everyone telling me what I can and cannot remember.” She stepped toward the mirror. “My grandfather knew. My mother knew. You knew. Everyone knew something about me except me.”Dominic reached for her hand. “You don't have to do this alone.”She looked at him.“I know.”Camilla placed her palm against the mirror.The moment her skin touched the glass, pain exploded through her head.She gasped. Images flashed before h

Chapter 138 The words kept repeating inside her head. She stared at the little girl standing across the chamber. She looked no older than six, yet there was something unsettling about the way she looked at Camilla, as if she had known her for years. “You're Evelyn?” Camilla finally asked. The girl nodded. Camilla swallowed hard. “Where have you been?” Evelyn glanced toward the fourth crib. “Here.” Camilla frowned. “But there's no one inside.” “There wasn't.” Sophia stepped forward. “Evelyn, how did you get out?” Evelyn looked at her. “I didn't.” Sophia's face went pale. Camilla looked between them. “What does that mean?” Evelyn pointed at Camilla. “I came out of her.” Camilla's body went cold. Dominic immediately moved closer to her. “No.” Evelyn tilted her head. “You don't believe me?” Camilla shook her head. “I don't understand.” “You weren't supposed to.” The lights flickered. The core activation number changed. 67%. Evelyn looked at the screen. “We don't h
