Chapter 187. The Architect.
Then he paused, with his head tilting and his ears straining as he heard the sound of men shouting, but it wasn't coming from the front it was coming from the doorway they had noticed earlier.The conveyor room.He and Cross shared a look, with their eyes meeting and a silent understanding passing between them. She gestured to the other operatives, with her hand moving in a sharp, silent signal. Immediately, a few of them focused on the still firing combatants while the rest inched towards them their bodies low to thr ground and their weapons ready.Together, they all crept toward the room, with their footsteps silent against the concrete floor.The room opened into another space, with it seeming like there was another base of operations hidden behind the main room.Hiding behind a cluster of machinery, they watched as armed men moved through the space. As Cross had said, they were packing up everything to escape, their enemies hauling their huge cargo into a conveyor belt runway, t

Many of the bodies were mutilated, with their limbs missing and their faces torn and ravaged. Some were just organs, floating in the liquid like grotesque specimens, with no form or shape to speak of. Others were more intact, with full human bodies and oxygen tubes running from their faces to the outside of the cylinder.He wanted to look away.He couldn't."By christ…." Cross's small whisper cut through his horror. "What the hell is this?"Swallowing around the sick feeling in his throat, he forced himself to focus, his eyes scanning the room and taking in the full scope of what lay before him. The room was filled with these cylinders, with row after row of them, and each one containing its own piece of human horror. But at the far end of the room, there was movement, with a doorway that was smaller than the one they had come through, and with a huge conveyor runway at its base.The people inside didn't seem to be aware or really care about the soldiers who had breached the room, w
Chapter 185. Bodies.
The operatives moved, their hands working with practiced precision. They placed the charges along the weakened seams, their movements fluid despite the slight shaking in their hands.. The rest of the team took cover, their weapons raised, their eyes fixed on the door.Saul pressed himself against the wall beside Cross, his heart pounding in his chest. He could feel the tension radiating off the other operatives, a coiled energy that was barely contained."Ready," one of the operatives called out. "Charges set."Cross raised her hand. "Everyone clear. On my mark."The team retreated to a safe distance, their bodies pressed against the walls, their hands covering their ears. The silence stretched, thin and fragile."Three ,two, one…..Now!" Cross shouted.BOOM!The explosion was deafening.The door came down in a shower of sparks and twisted metal, the sound echoing through the facility like thunder. Smoke billowed outward, thick and acrid, filling the air with the smell of burning met

It was Kim's voice. Saul felt himself startled in place before he remembered that she was watching through the personal camera feeds on the helmets of the other agents.Cross had agreed to allow her to be stationed with their command room analysts as a way to keep her busy and informed, so, although not in flesh, she had been with them every step of the way.He felt himself wince slightly at the thought of her seeing some of the awful things they had experienced here already.She must be very worried if she had decided to comm him.“Kim," He responded, trying to keep his voice soothing, “Hey." "Saul, have you found him yet? Did you see him? Is he there?"Saul opened his mouth to respond, but no words came. He could hear the desperation in her voice, the fear that was eating her alive. He knew he had to be calm for her. Right now, he had to be the optimistic one."Not yet," he said, his voice steady despite the turmoil inside him. "But I'm still looking. I'm going to find him, Kim
Chapter 183. Vegetative.
However , deep down, he knew why this feeling wouldn't leave him alone. Something was changing inside him. The violence, the action, the adrenaline….it was pulling at him, drawing him in. Even with the danger of the last fight, his blood had rushed and he had felt exhilarated.He was actually enjoying this.The realization scared him. He had never thought of himself as a violent person. He had worked construction and whenever he really fought, it was only when he had to, but he had never craved it. Not like this.And yet, as he stood there in the shadows, his body humming with adrenaline, he couldn't deny the thrill that coursed through him. It was like a drug, addictive and dangerous, and he didn't know if he wanted to stop.Cross was watching him, her eyes sharp and assessing. "You're very quiet Mr Kinai. I thought you would be more chatty….. are you certain your alright?"Saul blinked, forcing himself to focus. "Yeah. Just... thinking."Cross studied him for a moment longer, t

Then explain it to me," Cross said, her voice dropping to something almost gentle. "Help me understand." She softened her face, her eyes becoming imploring.“Help me, help you." But the assailant was too far gone for help.All he did was laugh again, a sound that was more bitter than joyful. "You really are stupid……If you think that I would help you. So, so stupid.""Hey!" Cross's patience was wearing thin. "I'm not playing games with you. Tell me what I need to know, or- ""Or what?" The figure's voice was mocking now. "You'll kill me? Go ahead. It doesn't matter. Nothing matters."Cross opened her mouth to respond, a sharp retort forming on her tongue. But then she stopped. Her jaw tightened, and she let out a long, weary sigh through her nose."This isn't going to work," she muttered, shaking her head slowly. "You're hopeless."The figure beneath shook their head, a sound like a snort coming out from their mask. "Now you realize it? What gave it away?" He giggled to her and Cross
