In this world, the Fenrir Organization had become the dominant force in the world, rising from a mere biological research facility to a colossal entity with both an Aragami extermination force and a private army. It could be considered an overwhelmingly powerful entity in the world.
Opposing such a force was equivalent to opposing all of mankind, and it would undoubtedly lead to complete obliteration.
Fang Li was no exception to this.
Although this infiltrating investigation was assigned by the Far East Branch, it was still a clandestine operation. That’s why Amamiya Rindou had to be so discreet when discussing the investigation of the Russian Branch with Fang Li.
Presumably, the Far East Branch had already suspected that Aphrodite’s large-scale attack was somehow connected to the Russian Branch itself.
However, suspicion alone was not enough. Without evidence, the Far East Branch, as a branch under the Fenrir Organization, had no reason to accuse the Russian Branch.
That’s precisely why the Far East Branch needed someone to conduct an infiltrating investigation.
“To have to engage in such political maneuvering within the same organization.” Fang Li silently though but none of this mattered to him.
If the Far East Branch wanted an investigation, then he will let them have it. Fang Li was only interested in the rewards of this Quest, and that’s why he was executing it. Therefore, Fang Li had no reason to be timid. As long as he didn’t reveal his identity, he could act with impunity.
Hence, Fang Li disguised himself as a patrolling soldier and headed toward the command room. With an identification card in hand, the automatic doors along Fang Li’s path opened one after another, paving a direct route to the command room.
Along the way, there were naturally other patrolling soldiers beside Fang Li. However, all the soldiers here were well-trained and strictly adhered to military regulations. They didn’t chat or goof around during patrols.
Even if they found it strange that Fang Li was patrolling alone, they showed no signs of suspicion. They continued their patrols with a rigorous atmosphere.
In this manner, Fang Li only needed to lower his head, allowing the military cap to obscure his appearance and prevent the surveillance cameras from capturing his face. This way, he could smoothly proceed toward his destination.
At least, things went smoothly at the beginning and it wasn’t until Fang Li reached a closed automatic door that he stopped in his tracks.
Looking at the tightly sealed door, Fang Li’s expression revealed a hint of helplessness on it.
“So, ordinary soldiers don’t have the authorization to enter the command room after all?”
Although it was an expected situation, Fang Li still felt somewhat helpless. If he could pass through directly, it would save a lot of trouble.
“No other choice then.” Fang Li touched the black bracelet worn on his wrist as he muttered to himself.
This inconspicuous bracelet was precisely the Black Ring Fang Li had obtained from an auction for 4000 Exchange Points. It contained a 1x1x1 space within it.
Fang Li lightly touched the bracelet with the enclosed space, and a dagger resembling a crescent moon appeared in his hand. Shortly afterward, Fang Li’s pupils suddenly transformed into ice-blue Mystic Eyes.
The cracked Death Line instantly emerged in Fang Li’s perception. Fang Li stared at the heavy automatic door and focused his gaze on one Death Line within the door gap.
Then, Fang Li extended his hand and lightly traced the Moonlight Dagger along the crack-like Death Line.
“Crack…” A faint cracking sound reached Fang Li’s ears.
Inside the closed automatic door, the interlocking bolts were directly severed and Fang Li saw no one passing by after confirming his surroundings. He exerted force, prying open the door, and swiftly stepped inside. His dagger suddenly stabbed into the nearby alarm, which had just lit up.
The alarm abruptly froze and faded into darkness.
Fang Li retracted the dagger, turned around, and forcefully closed the door.
“I hope to complete the Quest before anyone discovers the malfunction.” With that in mind, Fang Li unconsciously increased his pace and moved forward.
“Hmm?” Just as Fang Li was on his way to the command room, he suddenly heard some noises.
“That is…” Fang Li instinctively looked to the side.
There, a door was present in the command room and a faint light seeped through the door, indicating that there were still lights on inside.
Fang Li held his breath, and shortly afterward, he heard it. On the other side of the door, there were faint roars echoing.
Hearing those roars, Fang Li’s eyes flickered.
“The roar of Aragami…”
That’s right. It was the roar of Aragami.
“Why would there be the roar of Aragami in an important facility of the Russian Branch?” Moreover, it was in the middle of the night like this?
This made Fang Li suspicious.
“Is it related to Aphrodite’s large-scale attack?” With this thought in mind, Fang Li approached the door and pressed against it. Through the crack of the door, he looked into the scene inside.
However, what entered Fang Li’s eyes made him startled on the spot.
“Rooooooaaaaar!” Amidst the ear-splitting roar, Aragami with grotesque faces and long tails, resembling fierce beasts, were running rampant on the wasteland, charging forward.
And in the direction of this onslaught of Aragami, a young girl stood with her weapon raised, calmly facing the approaching horde of monsters.
She was a very beautiful girl and had silver shoulder-length hair that resembled moonlight. She wasn’t very old, so there was still a trace of innocence lingering on her exquisitely beautiful and charming face, adding a touch of cuteness to her beauty. But beneath that cute appearance, the girl possessed a well-developed and curvaceous body, with ample bosom and an alluring figure.
It was such a cute and beautiful girl who, at this moment, tightly grasped a heavy and bronze-colored massive broadsword in her hand. Her pair of azure eyes stared intently at the oncoming horde of monsters, her face carrying an inherently indifferent expression on it.
That expression seemed to show disinterest in everything in the world, yet held a great hatred towards the Aragami before her. Although it was not twisted, it appeared exceptionally cold and ruthless.
Immediately, the girl raised her heavy weapon and charged forward as well.
“Hah!” Under the crisp sound of her shout, the girl swung her massive weapon fiercely, landing a heavy blow on the demon face of an Aragami that was charging towards her.
“Boom!” With a muffled impact, the Aragami, which was much larger than the girl, was directly sent flying and crashed onto the ground.
The girl turned her body and continued to deliver heavy blows to the surrounding Aragami. Though her skills couldn’t be considered extraordinary, they were still outstanding and even Fang Li was amazed by her.
Of course, Fang Li’s astonishment wasn’t because of the girl’s skills, but rather her identity.
“She’s actually…?”
