"I forgot I have something else to do. I have to go, but enjoy your meal, it's on me." He looked at his watch and said with indifference, which left Alice disappointed. "But you haven't even had a bite yet..." "Having the opportunity to see you is more than enough, I'll see you again." Burdock replied with a charming smile. Alice was drawn to his beautiful features and her face began to burn again. She didn't even realize that his smile didn't reach her eyes. "By the way, I think I know Liana. She used to be the oldest daughter-in-law in the White family, so be careful." He stood up to straighten his suit, but first turned to speak. With that, Burdock walked off with strides, leaving Alice behind alone, tending to her complicated thoughts. Liana spent just one day familiarizing herself with the assignment. Creating programs was not difficult, the hard part came from creating one in a short period of time. Troop training changed every day, and changing the training style would ensu
"I know Major White has a younger cousin who is Edward's son, so she must be the mother." The people who heard the news were shocked. "She must be, no wonder Major White cares for her so much." "I always knew she got in here through connections, she has no right to lead us." Someone from the crowd spoke up nervously. "Well, she has a strong track record, the White family is like a gold mine, fall into their good graces and you will be rich." "I must say that the White family is quite generous in allowing her to continue feeding off them, considering she is divorced." "You're right!" Alice said incisively. "Unfortunately, we're talking about the military, not some place where you can survive on connections alone. Wait and see, her punishment will come soon enough." They all nodded in agreement, because they would not be able to finish the orders Liana gave them. If they didn't have results to show at the end of the day, it would be entirely Liana's fault, and of course, most of t
"Major White, this Miss Liana doesn't even know how to use a computer, look at her..." Renan raised his hand to stop her. "Is that true?" "Yes, then why do you allow her to create such chaos? Is this a military base or a business open to the public?" "Since you know this is a military base, why are you openly disobeying her orders?" demanded Renan with authority, silencing the room. "If I asked for Miss Liana's help, it means that I believe in her abilities, and I'm sure she has her reasons for asking for such a thing, and the only thing I'm asking for is your cooperation!" "But we are only concerned about the speed of the training of the troop...- someone replied and Renan smiled." "I don't think anyone is more concerned about that than I am." "The Major is right, we have to believe in Miss Liana's abilities, just follow her orders and do the best you can." Igor also came to Liana's aid. "That's right, we have to believe in Miss Liana, believe in the Major's eye for talent," Al
"Liana, what do you mean? The Department of Internal Affairs is not someone's instrument to punish others. We in the military always welcome reports of illegal behavior!" "The fact is, I don't like being treated like this." Liana commented coldly and the whole room fell silent in surprise, isn't she a bit arrogant? Even Renan was shocked that such inflammatory words came out of Liana's mouth. "Liana, follow us to finish the investigation now!" The Internal Affairs officers asked and Liana laughed. "Sure, but first I want the person who reported me to know how stupid she's been." "Liana, what kind of attitude is that? Do you have to be so petty and vindictive because someone doubted you and reported you? Besides, ratting him out was for the good of the platoon." Alice couldn't take it anymore and replied to Liana. "Alice is right, if you are so good, why are you afraid of being reported?" "It must be because she knows you're not qualified!" "Sure, but why would she threaten us?"
"How can you be so good at this? Are you a computer goddess? "Before the video ended, Alex spoke up. "Really!", Igor said, surprised by what he saw, "I couldn't imagine that your skill would be so ridiculously good!", She had already impressed him before, but now she practically shook him deeply, and Liana's skill was already something beyond his comprehension. Besides, this might not even be the best of her abilities yet... The others looked at Liana with the awe reserved for a deity. They felt that Liana was no longer a human like the rest of them, for how could a normal human do something that surpassed the abilities of a human? "I was just familiarizing myself with the scope of the work, while you were working, I was figuring out a way to complete the mission." That was why she could be so quick, because she had done a mountain of preparation. Her explanation, however, did nothing to diminish the admiration the room had for her. "Still, what you did was amazing, we were too
"No matter how good Liana is, it has nothing to do with you; you don't have to get so excited. " Edward warned Renan, something he didn't do very often. Renan didn't take the hint and continued naturally. "How can it have nothing to do with me? She's my Mrs. Legrand." "Anyway, she'll still be your sister-in-law, so a little respect would be nice." "Is my older cousin getting jealous?" Renan added with a wicked smile, but quickly reassured "him": "Edward, don't worry, I have nothing but respect for Liana, but I have to say that you have to work harder because it doesn't seem like she's into you." This hit a nerve with Edward, who replied coldly. "That has even less to do with you, so mind your own business." "Fine, fine, and by the way, when are you coming home?" "I'm not sure, I'll probably stay a little longer, but I promise I'll be back as soon as I'm done here." "That's fine, cousin, and anyway, thank you very much, I will also work hard not to embarrass our family, not e
"She is so young, and according to the information we have, she hasn't even finished school, how can she be so good? This must be a mistake, they are tricking us. "Zack spoke in disbelief. "If you keep being so stubborn, we'll be dead before we know what hit us," Burdock glared at him. "Chief, do you believe that? But if this woman is so powerful, how come I never heard of her before?", Zack was shocked. "Because she suffered from amnesia for many years." Burdock seemed to understand everything, and according to the information I got, she got her memory back less than a year ago. Zack read the document and saw Liana's accomplishments: She defeated Tech Corps, started her own company, designed the perfect artificial limb. Even the destruction of the Addams family was connected to her in some way, and each of these things was magnificent, and she managed to do them all in quick succession. Zack might not know Liana, but he reluctantly admitted that she was not a simple person, o
"It seems that Miss Liana is quite eccentric in person." He observed with a thin smile, and Zack shared the same sentiment. "It looks more like she's afraid of losing to me." "Major White, I forgot to mention, this is the computer specialist working for me, and he has heard that Miss Liana is very good at her job, so he is interested in meeting her personally and also hopes to have friendly competition." Burdock quickly made an introduction. "A man wanting to intimidate a woman? Wow, that's weird!" Added Alex mischievously, but Zack was not provoked, but retorted with a chilling smile. "So, what about a group of men who had to rely on the help of a woman?" "Is that an insult?" Alex asked in a creepy voice. "Well, that depends on whether your previous comment was an insult or not?" Zack retorted. "You ..." Alex was ready to explode, but Renan suddenly opened his mouth to command. "Stop it, you two!" He was looking at Burdock, although his words were directed at Alex and Zack.
After Liana woke up, she was interrogated by the police, but since she couldn't remember anything, there was nothing she could answer. Fortunately, the hotel manager intervened to vouch for her. Later, the real killer of Veronica was arrested, so the police released her.He smiled and said, "It seems what they say is correct. The me in this second is different from the me in the last second. Changing the past is a very difficult thing to do because a large part of time and space will be distorted, and who is man to challenge the natural process of time and space?""You're right, but luckily, we managed to change the past," Liana nodded."No, we didn't change anything," Edward shook his head."We didn't?" Liana furrowed her brow; if they hadn't, how could he be so slow?As if he were reading her thoughts, Edward couldn't help but smile."But we changed the future.""What do you mean by that?""The man acknowledged our effort and was willing to give the world another 25 years, but we ch
"He's escaping!" Edward hissed vehemently.He then leaped out of the window ledge and landed on the ground. This was the second floor, but he jumped without hesitation. Liana saw this and rushed down the stairs as fast as she could. Unfortunately, when she reached the ground floor, she could only see Edward's shadow fleeing.Liana used her top speed to catch up, and Edward was chasing the killer. The killer was running with Veronica on his back. He jumped into a car parked on the road, then threw Veronica inside and drove away.Edward almost caught up to the car but arrived a second too late. He could only watch as the car sped away."Get in!" Liana had already anticipated the killer's actions, so she had stopped a car at the side of the road, and Edward got into the car without hesitation."Chase that car in front of us!" Liana ordered the driver. The driver stepped on the gas pedal but asked uncertainly, "What are you planning?""Catch him, and this is all yours!" Edward, who was si
After securing his room, Edward exited through the hotel's back door and headed towards Veronica's residence.Veronica didn't live far from the small hotel, but it would still take ten minutes to walk there. She resided in a dilapidated residential area. The surroundings consisted of old, abandoned three-story buildings. Most of them had broken windows and, looking from the outside, appeared completely dark and uninhabited.Only a few rooms had dim lights filtering from within. The streetlights in this residential area were all broken, and the place was dark. Occasionally, the hissing of cats from the overgrown bushes could be heard; it was the perfect setting for a horror movie.However, Liana wasn't afraid. Besides caution, there was no trace of fear on her face. She followed the address and inspected the buildings one by one, and after some effort, she finally found where Veronica was located.Liana was standing under the building, and when she looked up, she saw that the lights on
"A girl from abroad, probably here to travel," replied the manager. "In that case, she'll definitely need a good tour guide." The man straightened his suit in an obvious manner and eagerly rushed out.The manager shook his head but didn't intervene. Women from out of town often fell prey to the town's men, and many of them considered themselves lucky to have experienced a foreign affair, when in reality, all these men were seasoned hunters, and their prizes were just women.If the girl didn't resist temptation, she would have a lot to lose. However, Carl wasn't concerned about the girl who had just left because she seemed entirely capable of taking care of herself.Liana walked for a while before realizing someone was following her. She saw a dark alley and entered it directly. The man behind her laughed cheerfully and quickened his pace.In the alley, Liana was soon cornered by the man. Initially, the man had intended to follow her for a while longer, but he knew this alley like the
Armed with a curious heart, Liana entered this small, old-looking hotel. Sitting behind the antique counter was a middle-aged man tallying the accounts. He was thin, and though the shirt he wore was outdated, it was of a certain luxury, and there was a calculating glint in his eyes. Liana could tell, with just a glance, that he was the hotel manager.The manager saw her, and his gaze swiftly traversed her entire body. He then stood up with a smile to inquire."Accommodation?""Yes, give me your best room," Liana said as she handed him her temporary identity, as she had acquired temporary residence in the country and didn't need to carry her passport.The manager accepted her identity and studied it. He asked with a smile, "Where are you from? It says here that you're not from this country.""The United States," Liana replied in an emotionless tone. Normally, others wouldn't have pressed further, but the manager typed her information unhurriedly and continued to ask."Are you here to t
"This is her," Lilith handed them a photo and introduced, "Her name is Veronica, and she lived in Darlin, here in the United States, and was murdered in a homicide case ten years ago, and the killer gruesomely dismembered her body, but they never found the body, and what you need to do is to find the killer or desecrate her body. I've also compiled all the information I could find about her, so you can take a look now."Lilith then opened her laptop to show the information about Veronica. Liana and Edward thought Veronica would have a complicated background, but to their surprise, she was a simple and ordinary woman, and the only noteworthy thing was that she was raped and gave birth to a child. However, her child was stolen from her, and she fell into depression, barely surviving on the streets.Nevertheless, misfortune did not leave her life.When she was 30, she was brutally murdered, and the case remains unsolved to this day. Nobody knew who the killer was or what the motive was.
At that time, I foresaw something and chose to settle there. I conducted at least ten years of research and reached a bottleneck. Similarly, I was afraid that Walter Roberts would notice our scent, so I brought them with me when I left," Lilith recounted in a distant tone, and Liana and Edward still had difficulty understanding her, but they knew she was talking about Gabbe's parents.Unfortunately, they all perished during various experiments, news that caused Gabbe to withdraw for a long period of time. Only Lilith survived. Liana understood that her mother was not a coward. She also participated in these dangerous experiments and survived, probably due to luck and ability.However, they still hadn't achieved what she foresaw. Could it be the apocalypse? Liana asked the question, and Lilith nodded."Yes, I foresaw the apocalypse, and it will happen soon. But don't wo
"What will make you stop?""I don't need anything," the man smiled indulgently."You must have something you desire," Lilith turned to look at him. "Tell me what it is, maybe I can fulfill your wish.""I'm honored to hear that from you. I'm glad I had this conversation with you today, and thank you for allowing me to be in the presence of the brightest person in the world," the man raised his eyebrow slightly.Lilith understood what he meant.He didn't need anything; he simply enjoyed talking to her.He was wrapping up the conversation, and no one would stop his plan, not even her.However, no matter how dark he was, he was still a man.If he were a man, he would be prone to regrets and ideals, and Lilith believed that he, as an individual, was more than just a rush to destroy the world.Lilith's calm eyes gazed into his, and her voice was low but sounded like heavenly music in his ears."Think carefully, what is still buried deep in your heart? Destroying the world is easy, but can y
"You used the memory cells?" Lilith's gaze scanned her entire body, and she immediately realized the truth."You are definitely the brightest woman there is, I'm very impressed," the man clapped his hands together as he spoke."Do you need something from me?" Lilith wasn't surprised, nor did she show any visible reaction to his easy admission; she simply asked in a soft tone."Of course, I overheard everything just now. If you don't mind, I believe we can have an interesting conversation," the man said in a friendly tone."Okay," Lilith nodded, and the mysterious man smiled and extended his hand."Please!" Lilith followed him without hesitation. They entered another room, and the difference from Walter Roberts' room was that this one was larger and more luxurious. It was the chief secretary's office, and there was a photo of him on the desk. However, compared to the man in front of Lilith, the man in the photo appeared refined and exuded a kindness cultivated by age. The man before h
