Chapter 229 - XV...Why Did You Kill Her?
Though confused, the officers did not dare to question their superior. Only one of the officers who had previously questioned HK felt that something was amiss.
'Something's wrong, even after searching for half a day, the skinny officer also did not return. Something is wrong. I better inform the boss before its too late
Thinking of that, the officer suddenly clutched his stomach and said "Ch-Chief....could you please excuse me...I-I need to pee"
With a frown, the chief said coldly "Don't you know you cannot excuse yourself during the mission?"
"Sorr chief b-but it's urgent"
"Hmph...this is the last time. Go and come back soon"
"Th-thank you chief" with that said the man ran behind the trees while clutching his stomach.
Watching as the young men left while hugging his stomach, HK smiled lightly.
A few seconds after the young man left, HK turned around and said "Follow me....there's a good show for you all"
"Huh? Mr. HK, what do you mean?"
"You'll know that soon" with that said, HK dissapered from his place. Shocked, when they looked around, they saw HK moving like wind towards the direction the Young officer left.
A few meters away from the officers, the young officer who was initially clucthing his stomach dumped his act the moment he was far away from his team.
Fetching a tiny cell phone from his sleepes, he dialed a number hurriedly. After several rings, when the other side picked the call, without waiting for the other side to speak, the officer said "Hello boss, can you hear me?"
"boss?"
"hello?"
"Boss...this is number 21. Boss, something is fishy....hello? boss?...he--Ahh" shrieked the officer when he felt someone snatch his cell phone from behind.
Turning around, he was shocked to find a smiling HK standing behind.
"What's the hurry young man? Wait for a while and I will personaly take you to your boss"
"you-you"
"Oh please, can you stutter some other word? I'm tired hearing the same thing" HK replied in annoyance
"No--"
Impatiently waving his hand, HK cut him off indifferently "Enough...I don't have patience or time to hear your nonsense. Once I'm done with this case, I'll deal with you patiently. Now let's go...someone has prepared a huge blast for us"
On the other side....
"Gaurds, tie her to the board and pin her eyes. Make sure she is unable to close her eyes. Today, I want to see her eyes cry blood and her bleed in desperation...hahaha" laughed Aunty Bo like a typical villain.
But soon after she realised something was amiss. Not hearing any motion from behind, Aunty Bo frowned.
turning around, she looked at the few guards who were standing stiffly and yelled in angr "Have you all gone deaf? Din't you all hear my order? What are you doing standing there dead....go and catch them for me"
"..."
Their silence further angered Aunty Bo. Grabbing the nearby flask which was filled with strange liquid, she threw at the the near by guard and shrieked "Are you dead? Why aren't you all answering me? Are you guys rebeling? Do you all want to die?"
Just as Aunty Bo was about to go insane, she heard a young voice with a hint of ridicule "Tsk...can you stop yelling? my ears are about to burst"
Startled, Aunty Bo turned to the direction where the voice came from and was shocked to find a young man standing there in his white cloth.
Seeing the hint of ridicule in the young man's eyes, Aunty Bo felt her heart burn in rage as she shreiked at the young boy while pointing her finger "You...did you bribe them? You dare to go against your superior?"
"superior? what a joke, do you think any trash can be my superior?" the young man sneered in disdain
"you...you dared to sneer at me? Wait...that's not right. No one in the base dares to ridicule me so that means..."
Without waiting for Aunty Bo to finish, the young man removed the mask covering his face and said with a smile "Bingo....you finally guessed it right....dump head"
"You...how dare you" Aunt Bo shrieked
"Ahh...do you want to see something fun? Here you go...in five, three and one...plop" On the count of three, the few guards who were standing stiffly for a while fell down with a plop.
Shocked, Aunty Bo looked down at the few of the guards and asked loudly "You...what did you do to them?"
"Nothing...just sprayed something that could send them for life long vacation" Shein answered with a smile
"How dare you...not only did you invade my teritory but you also dared to kill my guards? How gutsy" Aunty Bo sneered
feeling a bit impatient, Shein rubbed the back of his neck tiredly and said "Can we stop bickering and get into some action?"
"you....what do you need?"
Looking at Aunty Bo coldly, Shein asked "XV...Why did you kill her?"
"X-XV?" hearing the name, a hint of fear flashed past Aunty Bo's eyes but she hurriedly masked it and denied hurriedly "I don't understand what you are talking about"
Annoyed, Shein moved and nect second he was standing in front of Aunty Bo. Grabbing her chin, Shein lifted her up and asked coldly "Don't challenge my patience. I'll ask you one last time if you don't answer then ...why did you kill her?"
"I-I don't know" Aunty Bo answered hurriedly
Tightining his grip on her neck, Shein said through gritted teeth "Seems like you don't want your life...then"
Just as Shein was about to squeeze aunty Bo to death, the latter slapped his hands desperatly and said "I-I telling the truth. I swear on god, I r-really don't know anything. Everthing about XV was erased on that year, including her history and existence. Until now none of us know who is XV and why was she killed. We just know she was a doctor with the code name XV"
'Crack'
The moment Aunty Bo was done tellign everything she knew, her neck was snapped by a thin hand and she fell on the floor limply. Never did Aunty Bo expect that the Young guy would kill her, nor did she even realise how did she die. It was a quick death with no sufferings and struggle.
Rubbing his hands with a handkercheif, Shein forwned 'Another mission with an empty news. When exactly can I find the truth? Granny, can I even give justice to your life?' Shein thought with a frown
just as Shein was deep in thought, her watch vibrated with a code word.
getting back to his sense, Shein looked down at his watch before turning to Sheena and asked "Are you fine?"
Shocked from Shein's swift kill, Sheena was unable to get back to her sense for a long time. It was only when Shein asked a question did she return to her sense. Nodding her head, she replied in daze "Huh? yeah"
"Good. Wait here for me, if anyone comes in, inform me"
Without wiating for Sheena's reply, Shein picked Aunty Bo's dead body and moved towards the highly secured room.
Cracking the passwords, when the system asked for retina scan, she pulled Aunty Shein up and opened her eyes's wide infront of the scanner.
Once the system accessed her retina scan, with a 'swoosh' the mechanical door opened slowly.
Throwing Aunty Bo aside, Shein stepped inside the secured room and looked around the carefully.
To make sure that there wasn't any trap, he rolled the test tube he had picked from outside and rolled it inside. Seeing that the way was clear, Shein walked forward to the shelf where a few mauscripts were aranged neatly in an order. Picking a manuscript, Shein went through it breifly before taking out a bag and putting everything inside it. Moving to the old system, he injected his pendrive and transferred all the files in the computer to his pendrive.
While the files were being transferred to his pendrive, Shein stood up and scanned the room, hoping to find a few more useful information. But even after scannig the room a number of times, Shein did not find any useful information. Just as he was about to stop searching, he noticed something unusual with the floer vase placed on the table.
Looking at the vase carefully, Shein realised that the other handle of the vase was a bit uneven. Just as he pulled the hadle up to make it even, the sound of door openeing was heard from behind.
When he turned around, he saw a dark cave behind the laboratory table.
With a frown, When Shein walked in couriously, he was shocked and the next moment his eyes turned cold.
