Outlander’s Journey

In a secluded alley, Alice holding a flower basket is standing against the wall.

Her face was full of thoughts, and she was bathed in the stream of fluorescent dots of life like this, which seemed to bring her some sense of security.

"You have something on your mind."

A male voice with an echo suddenly sounded in the alley, and Alice suddenly looked up at the entrance of the alley and found that Heather's figure was looming in the water vapor in the alley.

Without preconceived notions, Alice discovered many details that she hadn't noticed before—sometimes Heather walked without sound at all, and even the flow of life would not be disturbed. In addition, his attraction to the stream of life is different from that of himself and his biological mother, Ifaluna, and is more like a suspicious person being watched by the planet.

Sure enough, Heather is not his own clan...

"Heather, you...you are not an ancient Setra?" Alice hesitated for a moment, or asked.

"I am human."

Heather's answer was very plain, and he didn't have any additional reaction to the ancient species that Alice said.

"Do you know that I am an ancient species?" Alice continued to ask.

"Yes, I knew it the first time I met."

Heather, who was in the mist, kept a distance of three meters from Alice, who was wrapped in the stream of life, as if the two worlds were looking at each other.

Alice fell into silence, and the green fluorescence from the flow of life beside her became more and more dazzling.

Heather tilted his head: "I haven't seen you in a week. You don't seem to practice the way I said. Are you planning to give up?"

Alice did not practice in the way Heather said. Since she left, she has been in distress and psychological struggle. She is afraid of Heather because she covets her identity as the last descendant of the ancient species with ulterior motives.

She clenched the flower basket in her hand and suddenly said loudly: "I, I want to know, why are you approaching me!"

Heather was taken aback for a moment, and then couldn't help laughing sarcastically, "Heh...Miss, did you make a mistake?"

"……Um?"

"When you first met, you took the initiative to speak and asked me to teach you, who I had never met before, and I agreed. At the second meeting, I tailored a suitable training method and plan for you, and you responded with confidence."

Heather put his hands in Kabuto, his tone was flat:

"Now, when we meet for the third time, you actually asked me why I approached you?"

"That's because I recognized you as my kin..." Alice tried her best to defend.

"So? Am I from Setra to help or change your current situation in the slightest?"

"!!!"

Alice was stunned at once. Yes, her situation is so bad that it can’t be broken anymore. She seems to have enough safe living space but she is constantly being monitored. Once she reveals the abilities of the ancient species, she will be forcibly arrested in the research institute of Shinra Corporation. This kind of brutal human experiment, until death. If it continues to be mediocre, I am afraid that the terrible scientist named [Bao Tiao] will not let himself continue to live peacefully, but will use himself as an experimental material to extract all available value, and the method will even be better than the human experiment suffered by his mother. It's even more cool ten times a hundred times.

This is a dead end.

If you want to resist and break free of the shackles, you need to have a strong power to get rid of the shackles of Shinra Corporation.

Does it matter whether the other party is of his own clan? If you practice in the way Heather said, you can become as strong as him, strong enough to make Tux feel jealous, then even if Heather has other plans for himself, he won’t let his situation become stronger than he is now. More miserable.

"Sorry, I was thinking about it."

Alice took two deep breaths, bowed deeply to Heather, and said sincerely:

"Please give me another chance, I will definitely work hard to cultivate."

Heather took a high look at Alice's decisiveness. She put all the betting chips on her side, choosing to believe that she could help her break the game.

It seems that the eldest lady is not as naive as she is in the game.

"In order to dispel your worries, I will also make it clear."

Heather walked a few steps forward and emerged from the mist: "Originally, I was willing to teach you [read] in order to have a reference and comparison. If feasible, I will improve the method to teach others. People. But now... I hate Shinra Corporation, so I want to see where you can struggle. A word to you—"

He paced slowly in front of Alice, looking at her condescendingly:

"As long as you learn it by yourself, no one can take it away."

Alice's slender fingers gripping the flower basket became harder and harder, and the joints were extremely pale. Everything around him may or has been taken away by Shinra Corporation. Mother Yifaluna, Mother Emina, a comfortable and warm home, a flower field, even a body, freedom... But only what she has learned and kept in her mind can not be taken away by anyone.

The flow of life on the planet spread and spread, and countless dots of green fluorescence flowed between Heather and Alice, like stars.

The planet whispered in her ear, and everything the person in front of her said came from the heart.

"Mr. Heather, I will prove it to you."

Alice, the nineteen-year-old girl’s eyes flashed with unprecedented fire and light, which was the look of a desperate pedestrian walking in the dark wilderness when she saw a ray of sunlight.

At least at this time, for the first time, she felt that Heather's ordinary face was full of personality charm, and even made her heart thump and thump like a deer.

On the tall buildings in the distance, Zeng slowly lowered the telescope in his hand, his calm face couldn't tell what he was thinking.

He was still wearing a black suit and uniform, with a black coat outside, and his clothes were hunting in the wind.

There was only Renault standing beside him. The red-haired agent still looked like a fool, tilted his head and said: "Director, the eldest lady seems to be determined to fall to Heather?"

"Heather is just an ordinary person and cannot be called a'backward.' This does not violate the communication rules set by Bao Tiao for Alice."

Instead of explaining to Renault, he was explaining to himself:

"You don't need to report to Baotiao, and include Heather in Alice's "friends" list... Tucks' internal surveillance records are led by me and have nothing to do with you."

"Hey, are you serious? What if I let Hojo know..." Renault is not stupid, and can vaguely feel Zeng's unusual feelings for Alice.

On the one hand, it was the careful thought of his boss, and on the other hand, he himself sympathized with Alice, so Renault always closed his eyes when monitoring her. But this time is different. Alice is really playing with fire, and Heather's danger has already been filed in Tucks. I really want to let Baotiao know, I am afraid that it will take less than an hour for the Shinra Special Forces to surround Alice's home with three floors and three floors. From then on, the young lady can only live in the laboratory and the dissection table.

If you don't report to Baotiao, it's equivalent to shouldering all the responsibilities on your own shoulders. When the time comes, it is not just Alice who is unlucky, and Zeng will not escape the blame. Everyone knows that the position of Baotiao in the Shinra company is really one person under ten thousand people, and it controls the most critical department of the scientific research department, just like the supreme king in a small kingdom, even Tux can't compete with it. , Let alone a little girl like Alice with no resistance.

I didn't bring anyone else this time, only Renault, who I trusted most, had already considered confidentiality.

"I also want to see, that tiny possibility..."

Zeng Yaoyao looked towards the steam-filled alley in the distance, his fists wrapped in black leather gloves clenched.

Alice... As the supervisor of Tucks, I cannot actively disobey the orders of Shinra Corporation. But as a friend who has been taking care of you when you grow up, I sincerely hope that you can break free from the shackles and gain true freedom.

A little barkeeper, an ancient end-of-breed who can't resist.

Even if it is only a slight possibility, if there is such a thing as a miracle, please let me witness it with my own eyes.
