Chapter 970 - 730: Reclaiming the Test Subject (Part 3)
Wu Wei seemed to still be pondering, and hadn’t agreed yet, but Mansa wasn’t surprised and brought out higher stakes, "I have one more matter to discuss with you, Miss. I’m sure you’ll agree to collaborate with us after hearing it."
Wu Wei looked at him with confusion.
Mansa continued to smile, his grin seemed to carry a hint of depth:
"I’ve heard... Miss led a team herself to hunt down someone recently, a foreign female."
Wu Wei’s expression immediately changed, "My personal affairs have nothing to do with you, right?"
As the proud and arrogant Miss of Sky City, Wu Wei hated those who dared to snoop into her private affairs the most.
Moreover, it was just a foreign female, she had killed her already, she couldn’t stir any trouble, she wondered why the Divine Hall’s envoy mentioned a dead person.
Mansa, as if seeing through her thoughts, his smile grew deeper, "I must tell you some unfortunate news, the female who was a thorn in your side, she’s still alive, and doing just fine."
"What? Impossible!" Wu Wei immediately stood up to rebut, "I clearly killed her with my own hands, she can’t possibly still be alive."
"Haha, I know Miss doesn’t believe it, but you’ll know soon enough."
Listening to their confident tone, Wu Wei’s face darkened.
Someone rushed in from outside with news.
"Miss, bad news, we just found a spy at the city gate, and the spy is a wanted criminal by the Divine Hall, unfortunately, we didn’t catch her, she escaped."
Wu Wei’s expression turned even uglier, she turned to look at Mansa, "The ’she’s still alive’ you mentioned, couldn’t be that escaped spy, could it?"
"Exactly, we’ve tracked her movements, she’s still in the city, I can help Miss find her."
Even though Wu Wei still couldn’t believe it, she had no choice but to accept it at this moment, and hurriedly took people to capture her.
...
Meanwhile, Shen Tang had successfully infiltrated the Imperial Palace, though almost discovered a few times, with her Space Ability and Instant Teleportation stacked, those Beastmen found it hard to track her, granting her success in sneaking into the Royal Palace.
She originally planned to secretly use her spiritual power to probe which palace Lu Xiao was in, suddenly sensed danger, her expression changed drastically.
Almost simultaneously, countless Wind Blades descended from the sky, Shen Tang instinctively dodged but was still left with several cuts on her arm by the overly sharp Wind Blades.
She looked up calmly, only to see dozens of shadows hovering, then landing on rooftops transforming into human forms.
Leading them was someone she saw not long ago, Wu Wei.
Unexpectedly, it was her again.
Enemies meet, exceptionally being grudge-holding.
Shen Tang thought she disguised well enough this time, didn’t expect to be discovered so quickly.
"Who are you, daring to trespass the Royal Palace!"
Wu Wei coldly looked at the Beastman sneaking into the Imperial Palace below, yet it was not the person she imagined, it was an ordinary-looking male.
She turned to the Divine Envoys behind her, "Didn’t you say that female was still alive? Why is it a male?"
The leading Divine Envoy took out a mirror-like device, emitting an enchanting, alluring voice, "Miss, don’t rush, if it’s true or not, just watch and see."
Shen Tang sensed trouble, instinctively tried to use Space Escape, but an ability instantly formed an invisible wall blocking her escape route.
Though it was nighttime, the mirror projected blinding reflection, shining on her, instantly her disguise was gone, even the mask failed, revealing her original appearance.
The others present seeing Shen Tang’s true face, even the Beastmen showed astonished and admired expressions.
It turned out to be a female.
This, this female is too beautiful, a fugitive?!
Even the lead Divine Envoy’s gaze seemed to linger on her for a moment.
Of course, just for a moment, not stirring any waves.
Wu Wei was even more shocked looking at Shen Tang, couldn’t believe that this foreign female not only survived, but always disguised, including the face she saw before was fake.
Unexpectedly, the female was so beautiful, no wonder Lu Xiao was so devoted to her, even defying his father to save her.
Simultaneously, jealousy and dread surfaced in Wu Wei’s heart, this female posed a huge threat to her, and her infiltrating the Royal Palace must be targeting Lu Xiao.
This time, she must not let her go, mustn’t let her escape again!
Shen Tang looked at her body, her heart was in turmoil, what strange tool did that Divine Envoy use? The effect of Thousand Faces actually failed for the first time!
She frantically called to the system in her mind, but this time the system seemed forcibly asleep, with no response.
The tall and slim leading Divine Envoy slowly stepped out, looking down at her, his broad cloak shrouding his face, yet as if seeing his mischievous and teasing expression, "It’s your fault for walking into the trap, seeking death, blame no one but yourself."
The nearby Divine Envoy also scoffed, "So this is the foreign stowaway, finally caught by us."
"Surprising this experimental subject caused so much trouble for us, should’ve been destroyed upon production."
The Hand of Creation had waged wars on several planets with similar civilizations, their invasions were largely unstoppable, many places became their colonies.
But just recently, their armies suffered a heavy defeat, a Beast World Continent unknown to them, labeled as an initial number, unexpectedly repelled their attack, sealing the Star Gate permanently, possibly preventing them from ever launching an offensive again!
What changed the war most critically, was a female.
A female whom they treated as an experimental subject.
In that war, the Hand of Creation’s people also thought the female was long dead, unexpectedly she’s still alive and successfully made it to the Hand of Creation’s base, Eris Star, disrupting their plans repeatedly.
Just recently, they finally discovered the true identity of this female, and today, they are going to thoroughly recover this experimental subject.
Wu Wei was confused listening, completely ignorant of what they meant by experimental subject and stowaway, Mansa had no intention to explain, instead acted immediately.
Both sides engaged in a fight right away.
Shen Tang fought with the Divine Envoys, although at a disadvantage, she wasn’t easily captured.
Moreover, she continuously searched for opportunities to escape.
Mansa watched the female battling on the field, eyes flashed with astonishment, squinted, deep in thought.
Other Divine Envoys were even more shocked and surprised, because this experimental subject’s superpower originally all came from the system, they forcibly put the system to sleep, theoretically she couldn’t use her powers anymore, yet unexpectedly her powers not only didn’t weaken but were stronger than imagined.
This indicates her current powers aren’t given by the system but developed through training.
This experimental subject indeed created miracles.
No wonder the higher-ups seem to value this experimental subject especially, capturing her will surely bring great rewards!
This time she must be recovered!
