"Whatever the reason, it didn't affect me. If those Statesec guys dare to mess with me, I'll crush their skulls."
Renault frowned as he surveyed the battlefield littered with corpses of combat personnel and doll wreckage.
The reason for this situation wasn't hard to guess. It was likely that either G&K or the Statesec had once again caused trouble. Just like when they evacuated the Collapse Fluid last time, this operation was no different...
It's just that all these Statesec operatives ended up dead. Otherwise, G&K would quickly become a jinx in everyone's eyes, causing problems every time they cooperated. Why bother being a security contractor? Just go farming somewhere.
Of course, it wasn't all G&K's fault. But the problem was, besides G&K, there were actually many other security contractors, big and small.
Most other contractors didn't have these kinds of issues, but G&K, the largest security contractor, always had problems. Its plate was quite full, and there were frequent issues, big and small.
Following behind Renault and his companions was Agent, vigilant and watching them closely for any dangerous moves, couldn't help but smirk at Renault's words.
This guy sure was daring.
Since when could a small security contractor disregard Statesec?
These guys better not do anything unnecessary. Otherwise, she would smash their heads with her weapons without hesitation!
Unaware of Agent behind him pondering how to smash his head, Renault furrowed his brow more and more as he walked. Not only had the human combat personnel been suddenly taken out, but even the fallen dolls had been killed amidst the chaos.
Most importantly, all of them were shot in the neural cores of the doll, with no possibility of salvageable data.
It was deliberate.
To completely cover up the truth of what happened here. But why?
What was the point? Just to give these combat personnel and dolls a decent burial?
If none of these combat personnel and dolls survived, what exactly did Statesec and the people behind these messes aim to achieve here?
After pondering for a while, it seemed that assassination fit the current situation best. Eliminate the target, eliminate witnesses, and quietly pin the blame on Statesec and G&K's dolls...
And the target worthy of assassination in the Sangvis Ferri main factory...
"How many human workers are there in the factory?" As he quickened his pace, Renault turned his head to ask Agent behind him.
"...," Upon hearing Renault's question, Agent didn't immediately answer. It was only after Renault glanced back at her that she spoke, "Fourteen, plus the Chief Designer Lycoris, making fifteen in total."
"Have they received any distress calls from those employees?"
"No."
"What about Lycoris?"
"...,"
With that, Renault had already picked up the pace, figuring out what had happened here. Since they weren't here to steal things or abduct people, it must be assassination.
And among the entire factory, it seemed that only Lycoris was worth assembling such a large team to target.
As Agent followed behind Renault, her heart tightened. She didn't care what Renault was planning anymore; she just followed the three of them into the lab.
In the middle of the room, a T-Doll in a black coat stood. While in front of her, a man in a white coat leaned against the console, silent and motionless.
"It seems we're late," Renault squinted, looking at the wounds on Lycoris' body. His waist was covered in blood, indicating severe damage and excessive bleeding.
"Lycoris..." Seeing Lycoris's current state, Agent was also stunned, staring blankly at Lycoris.
"Why are you here?" Without examining Lycoris's body, Renault's gaze fell on the figure standing in the center of the room.
Without a doubt, with her signature braided hair, she was identical to the M16 under Angelia's command, if there weren't more identical T-Dolls from G&K's side, this person must be the same M16 he had seen before.
So, did Angelia also come for this mission?
He didn't see HK416; maybe she was already mixed in with the debris outside.
As Renault's hand rested on M16's shoulder, she turned around.
Oh wow! What a huge scar on her face!
"Were you scratched by a wild cat?" Renault was somewhat surprised at the almost chin-reaching scar on M16's face. Since when did dolls learn to attack with claws?
"You..." Seeing Renault appear here, along with M1911 and Vector beside him, M16 was equally surprised. She hadn't expected to see Renault in the Sangvis Ferri Manufacturing.
But before she could express her thoughts, Agent, who had just stood there dumbfounded upon entering, rushed towards M16 in anger!
Under Agent's anger, she charged forward, not caring that she was heavily injured, and delivered a powerful kick towards M16!
Leveraging her superior weight and speed as an Sangvis Ferri elite doll, if this attack hit, it would completely cripple most of M16's mobility!
But before Agent could strike the dazed M16, her own movement abruptly stopped!
Crack!
The tremendous force, with nowhere to vent, directly made Agent's slender ankle emit a crisp sound.
"She's someone my father said to spare. You can't harm her."
