When Mo Ling came back to her room after dinner, the transmitter beeped two times.
Her experience turned serious and she opened her tablet to locate the signal.
After one minute she locked on the location and the person who transmitted it.
Without a second thought she opened her room window and jumped down. Then she disappeared into the night.
Tech Street.
The buildings behind Tech Street are under construction, so it's usually empty without any presence of people.
The afterglow of the evening shrouded the empty buildings.
Mo Ling took out the transmitter and pushed a button on it. A small screen appeared behind it and it showed a red dot around three buildings ahead.
When she came to a specific building she could sense thirteen different auras there. Two are more than familiar to her.
A cold smile appeared in her eyes and she observed the building before locking her eyes on the basement door.
Inside the basement.
The room is slightly dark and there are bricks and cement bags everywhere.
A girl no more than twenty is tied to a chair with a tape covering her mouth. There's dirt and blood on various parts of her body.
She's badly tortured but the look in her eyes is chilling when she's starting at the man before her.
"Are you ready to talk now?" Bill pointed his gun at her temple and asked casually.
There's a smile in his eyes when he's looking at the state of the girl before him.
He opened the tape that's covering her mouth so she could talk.
"You know what my answer is.. " before she finished speaking a hard slap landed on her cheek leaving a red print.
She spat the blood on the floor and calmly turned to look at Bill who's looking at her angrily now.
"You don't know what's good for you.. if you give up the location of the remaining Scarlet Army members, I'll give you a quick death."
Bill knew that the Scarlet Army was loyal to the core and only to that one person.
So, although their strength is beyond measure it is better to eliminate them completely than enticing them to their side.
"In your dreams.. " Snow knows what their goal is and she is ready to die if that's what is needed.
One death is better than more deaths.
Bill's face sank further. He fruitlessly tortured her for two days. The Scarlet Army is a hidden threat to them if they let them live any longer.
The girl in front of him is ready to die than betray her own people. It's really a waste of time if he further interrogates her.
The finger of his hand moved to the trigger of the gun and he's ready to pull it.. when he heard a muffled sound behind him.
Bill turned around in confusion when he saw the people behind him lying on the floor for God knows how long.
He was shocked at the sight of them and the fear of the unknown creeped into his bones when he surveyed his surroundings stiffly.
Then he locked his eyes in one of the corners of the room and met with pitch black eyes which were akin to an abyss.
"Wh.. Who are you?.." he stammered while asking.
"Athena."
