'The Bicolor Butterfly' is a fairly well-known firm with the backing of the colossal corporation 'The Soul Summoning Butterfly'. They specialize in tracking soul traces, searching, healing soul pain, and resurrecting the dead with special technological singularities—a highly secretive company.
Seeing Ruiwensi still contacting people from 'The Bicolor Butterfly' firm, Halton, who lay on the ground, showed his confusion. However, he quickly realized something, struggled to prop himself up, twisted his head, and looked towards the building screens in the distant rain, where the time displayed was [23:37].
"You actually lied to me!?" He was extremely angry, his body almost shaking.
"Yes, Halton, you really are too gullible," Ruiwensi returned his words.
Ruiwensi patted Halton's shoulder and turned to leave; the old man was no longer of any value. As long as they find Kayue, there was still a chance for a turnaround.
The dark, underground passage was completely cut off from the outside world by layers of specially made doors that were locked tight, with only the orange emergency lights on, illuminating an unchanging environment under surveillance.
Suddenly a loud bang came from behind the doors, the sturdy special steel plates bulged, and a trickle of debris and dust fell. Another bang followed, then a sharp point jutted out, revealing a bright green sharp blade within.
The Light Blade tore through the sturdy door, the junctions sparking and disintegrating, and soon after, a gap appeared, which was kicked open forcefully, widening the breach.
A line of combatants in green exoskeleton armor stormed into the passage, each of them wielding Light Sabers on their arms, continuously ripping open the doors ahead as they advanced swiftly.
Thus, layer by layer barriers and walls were breached, followed by fully armed 'Yimi' combatants who surged in. Under the protection of the rear guard, a young girl also stepped into these deep underground security facilities.
The noise from outside made the young boy in the deepest part of the underground facility restless; he paced back and forth nervously, his facial expressions changing repeatedly with bitterness, regret, sorrow, despair, fear, and so on. Not far in front of him, about a dozen soldiers clad in dark blue exoskeleton armor stood ready, their eyes fixed on the screen showing each breached node.
"They're coming," one of them muttered.
Hearing this, the boy finally closed his eyes and stopped pacing, taking a deep breath to force himself to calm down as he glanced at the clock.
"Fifteen minutes left."
"For 'Cosaidas'," the combatants in the room murmured.
"For 'Cosaidas'," the others repeated.
Two minutes later, the doors to this underground safehouse were blown open, and squads of soldiers in green exoskeleton armor poured in. In the cramped space, bullets flew and Light Sabers clashed, with explosions happening incessantly. Sitting behind the orange metallic glass of the protective barrier, Kayue watched anxiously as his own people and the remaining Autonomous Units were being killed or destroyed in fierce battle until there were no more 'Cosaidas' resistance left in the room.
It was 23:50, just 10 minutes until everything ended.
Sparks flew as the sturdy isolation shield was cut open, then a few raised gun barrels pointed at the 18-year-old boy, instructing him to walk out slowly.
The room quieted down, and soon after, a young girl with sandy hair also entered under the protection of the personnel. She looked worriedly at the disheveled and blood-streaked Kayue, approaching him quickly with concern.
"Are you alright, Kayue?" Yimi fumbled for her lover of the same age, her voice filled with worry and sadness.
"I'm fine... Yimi," the boy said with a voice full of bitterness and complexity. The more pleasantly surprised he was that this girl still liked him, the more mournful he was that their relationship could no longer return to what it was.
"... Sorry." His voice choked up as he spoke.
"..." Yimi hugged him, burying her head in his chest. She did not reply, but Kayue faintly felt that she was crying.
In the room, the 'Yimi' combatants still pointed their guns at Kayue with raised hands, while a captain reminded,
"Miss Second, there's not much time left."
Hearing this, Yimi reluctantly lifted her head, her hand, slightly cold, touched the boy's chin, caressing it gently. The boy, unwilling to see the girl's sad eyes, closed his own.
Two minutes later, two of Yimi's combatants took hold of Yimi's wrist, leading her step by step backwards, and then a wall of people blocked between the two again, with gun barrels pointing at the doomed boy.
"The patent data is in the secret lock AI behind me, the key is Yimi's HA segment genetic fragment." In the end, Kayue revealed the key to unlocking the secret lock AI.
"Quick!" Hearing what they needed, a technician ordered immediately. Several combatants then pulled Kayue aside, clearing the path and space, and then proceeded with the High Rank AI, placing the metallic box down and connecting it to the black cube of the secret lock AI inside the protective shield.
"My apologies, Miss Second."
A technician in a white coat brought a blood collection device, asking the young girl to press her fingertip against it. A drop of blood was drawn out, and the genetic information in the blood cells began to decode and read for the AI beside, converting it into key information.
[Key input in progress...]
[Decoding correct, beginning to release secret lock information...]
The chaotic information stored within the secret lock AI began to arrange in a specific order, and through reaction and computation, it produced new data, which was then reassembled into readable patent documents.
