foreigner's journey

Chapter 337 The Tiny Possibilities

In a secluded alley, Alice stood leaning against the wall holding a flower basket.

Her face was full of thoughts, and she was just bathed in the fluorescent stream of life, which seemed to give her a 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 Heather's figure 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 more like a suspicious element being watched by the planet.

Sure enough, Heather is not her own race...

"Heather, you... aren't you an ancient Settra race?" Alice hesitated for a moment before asking.

"I am human."

Heather's answer was very flat, and she didn't have any additional reaction to the ancient species that Alice mentioned.

"You know I'm an ancient species?" Alice continued to ask.

"Yes, I knew it when we first met."

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

Alice fell into silence, and the green fluorescence emitted by the stream of life beside her became more and more dazzling.

Heather tilted her head: "I haven't seen you for a week. You don't seem to be practicing the way I said. Are you planning to give up?"

Alice did not practice in the way Heather said. Ever since she left, she has been in distress and psychological struggle. She is afraid that Heather is also because of someone with ulterior motives who coveted her identity as the descendant of the ancient species.

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

Heather was taken aback for a moment, and then couldn't help but let out a sarcasm laugh: "Heh...Miss, did you make a mistake?"

"……Um?"

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

Heather put her hands in her pockets, her tone was flat:
"Now, the third time we met, you actually asked me why I approached you?"

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

"So? Am I a Settra person? Does it help or change your current situation in the slightest?"

"!!"

Alice was stunned for a moment.Yes, her situation is so bad that it can’t be worse. It seems that she has enough safe living space but she is being watched all the time. Once she shows the ability of the ancient species, she will be forcibly arrested and sent to the research institute of Shinra Corporation for various investigations. This kind of inhuman human experiment, until death.If it continues to be mediocre, I am afraid that the terrible scientist named [Hojo] will not allow himself to continue to live in peace, but will use himself as an experimental material to extract all available value, and the method will even be worse than the human experiment suffered by his mother. It will be ten times and a hundred times crueler.

This is a dead end.

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

What does it matter if the other party is his own race?If he practiced according to the way Heather said, he could become as strong as him, so strong that even Turks would be afraid, then even if Heather had other plans for him, his situation would not be worse than it is now. more miserable.

"I'm 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 practice."

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

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

"In order to dispel your worries, I'll make it clear."

Heather took a few steps forward and emerged from the mist: "At first I was willing to teach you [reading] for reference and comparison. If possible, I would improve the method to teach other People. But now... I hate Shinra Corporation, so I want to see how far you can go. Send you a word—”

He slowly walked up to Alice and looked down at her:
"As long as you learn it, no one can take it away."

Alice's slender fingers holding the flower basket became more and more forceful, and the joints were extremely pale.Everything around him may or has been taken away by Shinra.Ifaluna's mother, Emina's mother, a comfortable and warm home, flower fields, even the body, freedom... but only what you have learned and kept in your mind, no one can take it away.

The flow of life on the planet spread and diffused, and countless dots of green fluorescent light circulated between Heather and Alice, like stars.

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

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

Alice, the nineteen-year-old girl's eyes flashed unprecedented fire and light, which is the gaze of a desperate pedestrian walking in the dark wilderness when he sees a ray of sunshine.

At least at this time, for the first time, she felt that Heather's extremely ordinary face was full of charisma, which even made her heart pound like a deer.

On the tall buildings in the distance, Zeng slowly put down the binoculars in his hand, his calm face could not tell what was going on in his heart.

He was still wearing a black suit and a black overcoat, the hem of which fluttered in the wind.

There was only Lei Nuo standing beside him. The red-haired agent still looked like a fool, tilted his head and said, "Director, it seems that Missy is determined to fall to Heather?"

"Heather is just an ordinary person and cannot be called a 'backward'. This does not violate Hojo's communication rules for Alice."

Rather than explaining it to Renault, Zeng explained it to himself:

"You don't need to report to Hojo, just add Heather to Alice's 'friends' list...Tax's internal surveillance records are dominated by me and have nothing to do with you."

"Hey, are you serious? What if Hojo finds out..." Lei Nuo was not stupid, and could vaguely feel Zeng's extraordinary feelings for Alice.

On the one hand, it was his boss's petty thinking, on the other hand, he himself sympathized with Alice, so Lei Nuo always turned a blind eye when monitoring her.But this time is different, Alice is really playing with fire, and Heather's danger has already been recorded in Tax.If Hojo really wants to know, I'm afraid it won't take an hour for the Shinra Special Forces to surround Alice's house with three floors inside and three floors outside. From then on, the eldest lady can only live in the laboratory and on the dissecting table.

If he did not report to Hojo, it would be equivalent to taking all the responsibilities on his shoulders.When the incident happens, it will not only be Alice who will be unlucky, Zeng will not be able to escape the guilt.Everyone knows that in Shinra Corporation, Hojo's status is really below one person and above ten thousand people, controlling the most critical department of the scientific research department, just like the supreme king in a small kingdom, even Turks can't compete with him , let alone a little girl like Alice who has no power to resist.

Zeng didn't bring anyone else here this time, only the most trusted Renault, and I'm afraid he has already considered confidentiality.

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

Zeng Yaoyao looked at the steamy alley in the distance, his fists wrapped in black leather gloves clenched loudly.

Alice... As the supervisor of Tax, I cannot take the initiative to disobey the order of Shinra Corporation.But as a friend who has been taking care of you growing up, I sincerely hope that you can break free from the shackles and gain real freedom.

A small bar owner, a descendant of an ancient species who has no power to resist.

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