Without any hesitation, Vishdair kicked the door of the storage room flying and then evilly smiled when he saw dozens of eyes staring at him.

"What a delightful surprise~"

This was an area resembling a lounge or cafeteria.

Amidst the piercing alarm siren, people wearing the black uniforms of the Divine Heart Association reacted swiftly and immediately released Spirit Beasts to encircle them.

Meanwhile, other people dressed in lab coats, resembling researchers, mostly appeared drowsy, possibly having run out of their dorms to gather together.

When they saw the Demon-Eating Tiger Shark floating beside the cloaked Vishdair, fear flashed in their eyes, and they scattered and ran deeper inside.

There was no need for Vishdair to make a move; Lisa quickly dealt with these minor characters.

Whistling, Vishdair raised the hand cannon and spoke to a researcher who looked terrified and about thirty years old with weak legs: "You there."

"Which way to the laboratory?"

Her tone carried excitement and eagerness, speaking in Daxia Language: "If you lie, I'll come back and kill you afterward."

In the hoodie swirling with darkness, the only thing this poor researcher could see was the pair of dark golden flames in the eyes and the black barrel of the gun.

He froze on the spot, then desperately shook his head and fearfully revealed the route.

Under the terrified eyes of these researchers, the three swiftly left the hall, twisting and turning along the complex corridors until finally arriving at a bright and clean hallway with access control and a changing room at the entrance.

The research area had arrived.

Vishdair pulled the trigger and directly shot the access control to pieces, swaggering into the room.

Inside was still a corridor connecting various laboratories filled with equipment.

Lin Guang glanced around, then took out several red pellets, about the size of ping-pong balls, from the Great Void Ring, infused them with Spiritual Power, and casually tossed them into an empty laboratory.

Boom—

Following a loud explosion, flames erupted inside the room, engulfing everything, and even Vishdair showed excitement.

Indeed, she had also stored some makeshift bombs made on the way, but those bombs were of high-grade materials and highly powerful, using them here was certainly wasteful.

"Give me some."

After obtaining ten from Lin Guang, Vishdair laughed without a trace of ladylike demeanor, like a child finding a beloved toy, throwing them everywhere with joy.

"Hahahaha!"

"Boom!"

These were "Red Fire Bombs."

It was a one-time Tier One Spiritual Artifact Lin Guang exchanged with his exam scores, not expensive, even considered cheap, but difficult to obtain due to regulation, also a benefit offered by the military to examinees.

As for how many Red Fire Bombs Lin Guang exchanged?

Not many, only a mere hundred.

The reason for its regulation is simple, the usage is incredibly easy, and private storage carries significant risk. As long as there is Spiritual Power, or any Attribute of Ether—even water attribute Ether—can trigger an explosion with power akin to an Incendiary Bullet.

For Lin Guang, this item's purpose is to save Spiritual Power and Ether.

No need for Vishdair and Lisa to use Skills, just a single Red Fire Bomb can turn sophisticated equipment worth hundreds of millions into scrap metal, only worthy for the recycling plant.

The flames flickered, and Lin Guang turned to the girl behind him.

The Eye of Omniscience and Omnipotence crossed the darkness and saw her young and exquisite face.

Lisa silently watched these laboratories go up in flames, yet her expression was far from calm, a mix of complexity and excitement.

But her excitement was not a hysterical outburst; it was a kind of silent suppression.

Soon, all the instruments and data here were destroyed.

Yet obviously, this was nowhere near all the research rooms in this base, nor the most important ones.

According to the information given by the researcher earlier, these research areas are categorized by research content, tightly adjacent, forming a block-like structure.

Lin Guang walked out of this area, took a few random turns, and soon saw familiar access control, inside were empty laboratories filled with sophisticated equipment.

Vishdair intended to cause destruction as before but suddenly saw Lisa tremble and stop.

Following Lisa's gaze, it was a dim laboratory with little illumination, filled with sophisticated equipment.

But various Spirit Beast specimens soaked in greenish solutions, and various surgical instruments symbolize the difference from other laboratory research contents.

The girl's entire body tensed up, even the tail hidden inside the cloak fluffed up.

She remembered this place.

She had been experimented on here several times.

Vishdair sensed something, stopped, and raised her hand directly destroying several cameras above.

Lin Guang turned and softly called out: "Lisa."

"..."

She looked at Lin Guang in a daze.

Lin Guang gazed at the girl, suddenly crouched down, removed his mask, and quietly looked at her.

Lisa widened her eyes: "Lin Guang brother..."

From entering the base, Lin Guang had hardly spoken, yet his expression revealed beneath the mask was one she rarely saw and didn't want to see.

It was an expression as if he did something wrong, sad and guilt-ridden.

He softly said: "To some, hatred and pain can indeed be eased by revenge."

"But Lisa, I'm uncertain if doing this is right for you."

Lin Guang leaned his forehead into her cloak, gently touching it to hers, his voice extremely soft: "I truly don't want these meaningless things to occupy too much of your life."

"Yet things seldom went as desired."

"I repeatedly emphasized before you, took you to encounter them, revisited old places, although some were indeed forced and unpredictable, but for you, every retelling of the past, unveils wounds."

"Lisa, you never complain, yet I'm continually uneasy."

"The string in your heart is too tight, and I don't know how better to care for you."

"Sometimes I even contemplated, if someday, when I have the power, I'll take you to find some True Men and Miracle Masters for psychological treatment and spiritual editing, it might be better to forget all sad things."

"But I know, to forcibly make you forget your parents, your past, and weave a false memory for you, I'd become the one who robs your freedom, inflicting pain upon you."

"Ultimately, I thought of doing this."

"While coming to avenge them, I brought you here, giving you a chance to solve everything yourself and then move beyond it."

"But it's merely a chance; I'm unsure if you can really let go."

"However…there's one thing I can guarantee."

Lin Guang leaned his head back a bit, staring into Lily's eyes.

"Whether you need time to lighten the pain or can resiliently forget and transcend… We won't leave you."

He extended a hand, offering her a Red Fire Bomb.

"..."

Silently, Lisa accepted the Red Fire Bomb.

But she didn't let go of Lin Guang's hand.

Lin Guang was slightly stunned.

The girl holding his hand tightly stood with him, gripping her magic staff.

Their Spiritual Powers intertwined, the link of the contract allowed them to jointly trigger the Red Fire Bomb, which was then thrown into the laboratory beside.

Swoosh—

Pages of data fluttered within the ascending flames, turning into ashes.

The girl's clear golden-green eyes reflected the consuming flames, and tears slid from the corners of her eyes.

...

2:32 am

In the monitoring room, underground third level of the Divine Heart Association base.

The youth's face had long lost its previous ease, clenched his fist, gritting his teeth.
