“Kacha…”
With a mechanical sound, the automatic door of the terminal room closed again, cutting off all the light from outside.
Fang Li and Alisa entered the dimly lit room and looked at the sole light source, the illuminated terminal, locking eyes with each other.
Shortly afterward, the two approached the terminal together.
“I haven’t used this terminal before, but with my access privileges, I should be able to activate it,” Alisa said as she extended her arm adorned with a bracelet toward a recognition window beside the terminal, allowing the bracelet to seamlessly connect with it.
With a “Dēng” sound, the screen of the terminal lit up, resembling a high-end computer and displaying an interface.
Having done that, Alisa stepped aside and looked at Fang Li, saying, “They already know I’m back. If I don’t go there soon, I will undoubtedly arouse suspicion. You need to quickly find the intelligence you want to know and get out of here.”
After all, Alisa also faced charges of disobeying orders and should report in as soon as possible. Moreover, with the imminent threat of an Aragami army outside, time was running short for Fang Li.
“Now is the moment to race against time.”
Thus, Fang Li approached the terminal directly, taking out the touchscreen panel again and connecting it to the terminal, allowing the device to search and crack codes autonomously.
“The secret that the Russian Branch is willing to sacrifice so much to hide must be a top-level classified information.”
“Therefore, bypass the low-level access privileges, skip the public intelligence, and directly crack the highest-level classified information.”
“Now, let’s begin.”
After a series of operations and giving some commands to the AI in the touch panel, Fang Li pressed the start button on the touchscreen panel with a determined expression on his face.
The next moment, the touchscreen panel started to shimmer with one program after another, causing multiple windows to pop up on the terminal one by one, swiftly working at an astonishing pace.
Watching this scene, Fang Li couldn’t help but wryly smile.
“No wonder Amamiya Rindou directly entrusted me with this touchscreen panel. The Far East Branch must have been prepared.”
At least, Fang Li didn’t believe that an ordinary device could easily crack the confidential files in a military base, let alone with such efficiency.
“But it did save me a lot of trouble.”
Therefore, under the watchful eyes of Fang Li and Alisa, one highly classified document after another was copied onto the touchscreen panel and listed.
As Fang Li carefully read through the gradually listed items, trying to figure out which one contained the information he needed, Alisa suddenly exclaimed beside him.
Hearing Alisa’s exclamation, Fang Li asked curiously, “What happened?”
“Take a look here,” Alisa pointed to one of the listed items on the screen.
Fang Li directed his gaze to it and slowly read out the name of the project.
“The Eros Project.”
Eros?
What was that?
“Don’t you know?” Alisa looked somewhat surprised at Fang Li, then she continued, “Eros is the son of the Goddess of Love in Greek Mythology, equivalent to Cupid in Roman Mythology. His father is the famous War God, Ares, and his mother is the Goddess of Love, Aphrodite.”
Hearing this, Fang Li understood why Alisa had noticed this project.
“A project named after Aphrodite’s son?”
Just based on that, this project was already worth investigating intensively.
Therefore, without the slightest hesitation, Fang Li clicked on this project.
The next moment, a document appeared in front of Fang Li, entering the view of both Fang Li and Alisa.
It was a report.
“In the year 2050, mysterious creatures called Aragami suddenly appeared and swiftly devoured the majority of life on Earth, including buildings and machinery. The Oracle Cells rapidly underwent transformation and evolution, differentiating into various organisms.”
“Most city civilizations were destroyed, and the global population was reduced to one percent, with humanity suffering unprecedented devastation.”
“In the following year, the surviving humans engaged in a massive struggle to control the scarce areas not overrun by the Aragami, resulting in another sharp decline in population.”
“According to calculations, if this situation continues, humanity will face extinction in three years, and Earth will become the exclusive habitat of the Aragami, erasing human civilization and history from existence.”
“In such circumstances, it was Fenrir Organization that emerged from this chaotic era.”
“Utilizing the Oracle Cell technique that other companies and nations did not possess, Fenrir quickly rose to become the leader of humanity, standing at the pinnacle of the world. They established bases and branches around the world, successfully averting the extinction of humanity.”
“The Russian Branch was established in 2055 and, with the allocated resources from the Headquarters, quickly developed twelve Aragami extermination units that were among the most advanced in each branch.”
“However, in 2060, the Russian Branch suffered a tremendous blow during a mission to exterminate the Deusphage Species, losing over half of its Aragami extermination units and resulting in the deaths of fifty God Arc wielders.”
“Yet, this loss paved the way for an extremely significant opportunity.”
“An opportunity that could completely free humanity from the control of the Aragami, allowing humans to reclaim their mastery over the land.”
“We named it ‘Alpha’.”
“To make ‘Alpha’ a means for humanity to completely conquer the Aragami, the Russian Branch established a research team led by Rollins Wright-Einz-Dolos. They conducted research, debugging, and control of ‘Alpha’.”
“The research group led by Rollins Wright-Einz-Dolos named this plan the ‘Eros Project’.”
“The ultimate goal of the Eros Project is to restore humanity’s dominance over all things and regain the past peace.”
That was the content of the report.
After reading this report, leaving aside Fang Li’s reaction for now, Alisa fell silent for a while and then spoke.
“It seems that this Eros Project is the target we need to investigate.”
“Hmm?” Fang Li was puzzled and asked, “Why are you so sure?”
“Didn’t you say that you were being watched and even framed by a Captain?” Alisa raised her gaze and looked directly at Fang Li, speaking slowly and deliberately.
“The Captain’s name is Rollins Wright-Einz-Dolos.”
“Previously, Captain Rollins Wright belonged to a highly secretive research team and was only given his military rank two years ago when he became a Captain.”
