Staring at the heavy iron door before her—a door that radiated immense defensive power just by its appearance—Liu Xingluo couldn’t help but doubt the accuracy of the intelligence Lain had provided.
After all, why would the corpses of Evolved Beasts require such elaborate protection? It wasn’t a bank vault. Why use such thick iron for a door?
But what Liu Xingluo didn’t realize was that the value of Void Beast corpses far exceeded her imagination. On the black market alone, they could fetch a hefty price. There had even been incidents of insiders stealing and selling the corpses for money. To prevent such occurrences, the corpses were now stored in this room. Without an ID card and the correct password, ordinary people had no way in.
“Absolutely certain, Your Highness. I can sense it clearly—behind this door, the aura emanating is unmistakably that of the beasts’ corpses.”
“Hmm…”
Seeing Lain’s unwavering confidence, Liu Xingluo dared not question him further. For now, she would accept that this was indeed where the Void Beast corpses were stored.
Still, she hadn’t expected such tight security. Not only was there a password lock, but surveillance cameras were mounted on the ceiling. There might even be an alarm system triggered if the door was attacked.
“Your Highness, seeing you so troubled, why not let me destroy this door right now and relieve you of your worries?”
“No!”
Just as Lain was about to draw his sword and break the door, Liu Xingluo quickly grabbed his hand to stop him.
“Why do you stop me, Your Highness? Do you not wish to obtain the power of the beasts behind this door?”
Lain was puzzled by her reaction. With his strength, destroying the door would be trivial. Once it was gone, the power of the Evolved Beasts would be easily within reach.
“Yes, I do want that power. But destroying the door would only create more trouble. Lain, you should learn more about the human world—violence isn’t the answer in every situation.”
Violence could solve the immediate problem, but she couldn’t keep solving everything with brute force. She still planned to live with her sister; she had no intention of becoming an enemy of all humanity.
“Understood. Since Your Highness says so, I will certainly study the rules of the human world diligently.”
“Good. That settles it. As for now…”
Liu Xingluo wanted to find someone capable of opening the door, but she had no idea who to look for. This was her first time here; she didn’t know who was in charge.
Sigh. She’d have to go back and ask Shen Yunfei. If anyone knew, it would be him. He worked here—surely he’d know who to contact for something like this.
“Sorry, but I really don’t know about that.”
When Liu Xingluo found Shen Yunfei and asked, his answer nearly made her collapse on the spot.
“You don’t know? Fine, sorry for bothering you. I’ll ask someone else.”
[Seriously, dude? You work here and you don’t even know who to ask about this?]
Silently cursing Shen Yunfei, Liu Xingluo turned to leave.
“Wait.”
“Hmm? What’s wrong? Did you remember who to ask?”
“No. Sorry, I still don’t know. I called you because I want to confirm something.”
What Shen Yunfei wanted to confirm was none other than whether the girl before him was really Liu Xingluo.
“What is it?”
“Are you Liu Xingluo?”
“Huh?”
The question left Liu Xingluo dumbfounded.
[How does he know it’s me? I never told him my name in this form, did I?]
She replayed their conversation in her mind. She had never mentioned her name in front of him. So how did he know? Was it because of the clothes she was wearing?
Liu Xingluo was currently wearing the Superhuman uniform issued to her, which usually had the wearer’s info displayed.
To verify her suspicion, she looked down at her uniform. But there was nothing printed on it with her personal information.
Just from her reaction, Shen Yunfei had already confirmed she was Liu Xingluo. If she weren’t, she wouldn’t have reacted that way.
“So it is you.”
“Sigh. Yes, it’s me. But how did you recognize me, Brother Yunfei? I’m sure I never told you my name looking like this.”
Since she was caught, Liu Xingluo decided not to hide it. It would have been best if she could have kept it from him, but being recognized didn’t seem like a big deal—as long as he didn’t go around telling everyone.
“Because of this call log. You called Liu Ruyan and addressed her as ‘sister,’ but I never heard from her that she had a younger sister. So I thought of you. Never expected I’d be right.”
Initially, Shen Yunfei wasn’t sure if this female Superhuman was really Liu Xingluo. When people awakened their superpowers, their bodies changed to varying degrees, but at most, it was just eye or hair color. Changing gender was impossible.
“Oh, fu— Why didn’t I think of that?!”
After hearing how Shen Yunfei recognized her, Liu Xingluo was filled with regret. If she had known, she would have deleted that call log. Now, one mistake had revealed her identity.
“So, how did you become like this? Just a few days ago you were a man, and now you’re a girl. If not for that call log, I never would have connected the two images. Was it because of awakening your superpower? How did you awaken? Did you do anything special?”
More than how Liu Xingluo turned into a beautiful girl, Shen Yunfei was more curious about how she awakened her superpower. He had always wanted to awaken one himself and gain stronger power—so he could kill Evolved Beasts easily and secure better medical treatment for his sister. Maybe Liu Xingluo could share some insights.
“That’s a long story, and I can’t explain it quickly. But my superpower awakening process is different from others’. Actually, I don’t think I really awakened my superpower at all. Anyway, if you want to know, go ask my sister. She’ll tell you. As for me, I have something important to do right now, so bye-bye.”
Not giving Shen Yunfei a chance to press further, Liu Xingluo opened the door and slipped out.
Right now, she needed to get her hands on Void Beast corpses as soon as possible. There was no time to recount her experiences.
