Tifa carefully placed Marlene on the bed, covered her with a blanket, touched her forehead, and then turned to leave, sitting back down next to Shen Ye.
At this moment, Shen Ye was resting with his eyes closed. Although Alice and Tifa were sitting on his left and right, and Jesse was sitting in front of him, he didn't have any impure thoughts... Of course, it can't be said that he didn't have any impure thoughts at all. The main thing is that with three women together, even if he had thoughts, he had to treat them all equally.
And there's one more thing, and it's the most important thing... Marlene is still in the room.
Suddenly, Shen Ye opened his eyes. He had the idea of taking the three girls to the next room, but then he thought that it would be inappropriate to leave the little girl alone in Tifa's room. If the little girl woke up suddenly in the middle of the night and couldn't see anyone, she would definitely be scared.
With a helpless sigh, Shen Ye slowly closed his eyes again and continued to rest.
However, Alice and the others were wide awake, full of energy. Alice was too excited to sleep because her fate had changed, but Fira hadn't come to correct it, while Tifa and Jessie were also too excited to sleep, clinging to the pillar of Sector Seven.
The three women, who couldn't sleep, soon started talking in hushed tones out of boredom.
Seemingly afraid of waking Marlene and Shen Ye, the three women huddled together, whispering to each other. They would occasionally stop to glance at Shen Ye, and once they found that he seemed to be really asleep, they would continue chatting without worry.
But Shen Ye was only resting with his eyes closed, not actually asleep, and heard their conversation clearly. Moreover, he found that their topics were becoming more and more outrageous.
At first, they mainly talked about what happened that day, but later their conversation shifted to Shen Ye, and they started talking about what he liked. Eventually, they even started talking about some of his unique hobbies.
For example, Alice said that Shen Ye was a restless sleeper and always liked to touch her randomly when he held her to sleep. Another example is Tifa, who blushed and said that Shen Ye didn't like to take off her clothes when they did "that kind of thing"... It seems like she did it on purpose.
Sure enough, Alice and Jesse paused in their breathing upon hearing this, as this was a territory they had not yet ventured into.
After their initial envy and jealousy, the two women turned their attention to Shen Ye. Although Shen Ye had his eyes closed, his scalp tingled from their gazes.
Just as Shen Ye was wondering whether he should open his eyes and explain, there was a knock on the door, followed by Yu Fei's carefree yet adorable voice: "Shen, open the door, I know you're in there."
Shen Ye finally opened his eyes, but he didn't get up to open the door immediately. Instead, he turned to look at Marlene like Alice and the other two girls. They breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the little girl hadn't been woken up.
Shen Ye got up and walked to the door, wondering how Yu Fei knew he was there, before opening the door.
Outside the door, Euphemia was still wearing that cute mogul hoodie, and behind her was still her junior, Sonon—he was not dead, he was still alive.
"How did you know I was here?" Upon seeing Yuffie, Shen Ye immediately asked the question that had been bothering him.
Yuffie patted her bulging moogle pouch, which seemed to be held in place by something, and said, "That wicked woman Scarlett told me."
“Scarlett?” Shen Ye didn’t press Euphemia about calling Scarlett a bad woman, nor did he ask why she knew Scarlett. Instead, he asked, “Why did she send you to see me?”
Yuffie glanced at Alice and the other two girls who had followed her, and inexplicably curled her lip, saying, "She sent me to inform you that Emina has been kidnapped by people sent by an evil scientist named Hojo."
"What did you say? My mother has been kidnapped?"
Upon hearing that her adoptive mother had been taken away by Hojo, Alice's eyes instantly filled with tears. In a great hurry, she ran outside, but Shen Ye caught her and brought her back.
"I have to go save my mother," Alice said, her voice trembling with worry.
“I know, I’ll go with you, but don’t rush.” Shen Ye hugged Alice and patted her back reassuringly while saying to Jesse, “You stay here to take care of Marlene. I’m going to the Shinra Building with Alice and Tifa.”
Jessie was a little reluctant; she wanted to go too, but since Shen Ye had spoken, she couldn't refuse, so she nodded.
“We’ll go with you.” Yuffie glanced at Jesse, who had been left behind, and immediately said, “That wicked woman gave us a lot of magic crystals, which will definitely be of help to you.”
“No, you have to stay too, and so do you, Sonon.” Shen Ye looked at Sonon, the man who was supposed to die in the Shinra Building, but survived because he changed the plot.
Sonon was alright, but Yuffie was not happy. Unlike Jesse, she didn't listen to Shen Ye and kept saying that she was a beautiful ninja girl from Wutai who came specifically to punish Shinra.
Upon hearing this, Shen Ye was even less likely to let her go. If a fight broke out and she gave such an opening speech, her opponent would laugh her to death.
After much persuasion, Yuffie stayed. However, when Shen Ye and the others were leaving, she gave Shen Ye a large handful of magic crystals. But after going downstairs, Shen Ye gave all the magic crystals to Alice and Tifa, because he couldn't use them at all.
……
Because of tonight's battle, the trains in Midgar stopped running early, so Shen Ye had to take Alice and Tifa all over the city looking for a car, since they couldn't walk.
By this time, the poor in the Seventh District had been mostly evacuated. Although it was far less prosperous than the roundabout, there were still a few vehicles on the roadside. Soon, they drove a small truck onto the roundabout.
On the bus, Alice had regained her composure, but her eyes were still filled with worry and self-blame.
"Alice, Ms. Emina will be fine." Although Fila didn't come out to stop Shen Ye from changing the plot tonight, Shen Ye still said confidently. After all, for Hojo, Emina was almost useless except for threatening Alice.
Chapter 213! A Great Uproar in the Divine Realm
……
Although a lot happened that night, in fact, when Shen Ye and his group arrived near the Shinra Building, only a few hours had passed since the Battle of the Pillars, so it was still early morning.
Since the Shinra president was assassinated by Sephiroth and a new president took office, the security level of the Shinra Tower has been raised several levels, and the number of patrolling soldiers around the building has increased several times over, making it extremely difficult to infiltrate safely.
However, Shen Ye and his two companions came to rescue someone, specifically Alice's mother, who had been taken away by Hojo.
So Shen Ye didn't plan to sneak in. Instead, he floored the accelerator and drove the truck toward the gate of the Shinra Building.
Seeing the truck speeding toward the building's entrance, the patrolling soldiers didn't waste any words and opened fire. But as Alice chanted a spell, a magic circle appeared above the truck, creating an invisible protective shield around it. The bullets that were fired hit the shield and were all deflected, startling the Shinra soldiers into ceasing their firing.
Seeing that the bullets had no effect, the patrolling Shinra soldiers could only watch helplessly as the truck rushed up the steps, smashed through the glass of the door, and stormed into the lobby of the building.
There were also many Shinra soldiers in the lobby on the first floor. They had noticed the commotion outside and when they saw the truck rushing in, they also raised their guns and fired. However, they were also hit by the ricocheting bullets and ran away with their heads in their hands. At the same time, the receptionist at the front desk screamed in fright, making the scene even more chaotic.
None of the people in the truck got off, so the truck continued to drive recklessly through the hall... Shen Ye waited for the right moment to get off.
Just then, an elevator came down to the first floor. Upon seeing this, Shen Ye stepped on the gas and sped off, scaring the Shinra soldiers along the way into fleeing in panic.
Just as the truck was about to crash into the elevator door, Shen Ye swerved the steering wheel, causing the truck to drift and block the elevator doorway. At that moment, the elevator door opened, and the Shinra employees inside were all stunned to see the truck blocking the doorway. They had never seen anything like it before.
Shen Ye jumped out of the car, raised his pistol and fired two shots into the air, then shouted viciously, "Get out, or I'll kill you all."
The Shinra employees inside the elevator were not combatants. Startled by his words, they scrambled out of the elevator, but as soon as they ran out of the magic circle's range, they were riddled with bullets fired by Shinra soldiers.
"Sorry, this has nothing to do with me, don't blame me."
After glancing at the corpses of the Shinra employees, Shen Ye muttered something and then pressed the close button on the elevator.
The instant the elevator doors closed, Alice removed the magic circle. Upon seeing the magic circle disappear, the Shinra soldiers raised their guns and fired again, the bullets striking the elevator doors with a clanging sound.
Inside the elevator was a map showing the layout of the entire Shinra Building, with each department clearly marked, so Shen Ye pressed the button for the 66th floor research lab.
It was Hojo who captured Emina; he could only stay there.
……
The sudden attack by Shen Ye and his two companions made the already tense Shinra executives even more nervous. After hearing the report from below that the attackers had taken the elevator upstairs, Rufus, who had just taken over the position, did not have time to rest or celebrate. He actually led his men to take another elevator to the sixty-sixth floor.
He then asked the Turks leader beside him, "Zeng, have you figured out who the attackers are?"
"I've figured it out." He said, "All the elevators in the building have security cameras. We received the photos. Remember that ancient species we were monitoring?"
"Her? And who else?" As the vice president, Rufus, although he didn't have much power before, knew what he needed to know and naturally understood that a woman wouldn't cause such a commotion.
"And there's her boyfriend and his other girlfriend, it's pretty complicated." Zeng's mood became somewhat downcast as she said this.
"Alice's boyfriend's other girlfriend? That does sound complicated, but why are they here? We don't think we've provoked them, have we?" Rufus, unaware of Hojo's actions, sighed at the complexity of the situation and then asked Zeng with some curiosity.
Zeng shook his head: "I'm not too sure either, but they're going to the 66th floor. It must be Bao Tiao who caused this mess."
The 66th floor is the research lab of the Shinra Building. It's not only where Shinra special warriors are manufactured, but also where Hojo researches Genova.
"That disgusting guy has never done anything good." Rufus had no good feelings towards Hojo. His governing philosophy was completely different from his father's, which was why his father had taken back his power and prevented him from participating in Shinra's management.
Seeing the look of disgust on Rufus's face, Zeng sighed, "That guy is disgusting, but he's still a long-time employee. If we don't rescue him, the other higher-ups might..."
He didn't continue, but Rufus understood what he meant, and then silently pulled out a shotgun and began to examine it carefully.
……
The 66th floor is the research lab.
Hojo calmly took a sip of tea before turning his gaze to Eminem, who was now bound hand and foot again. After hearing that Hojo wanted to use her to lure her daughter to rescue her, this woman tried everything to commit suicide, but Hojo's men discovered it in advance, and she ultimately failed.
"You think your daughter won't come back just because you're dead?" Hojo put down his teacup and said with a sneer, "Even if you become a corpse, I believe your daughter would be willing to exchange herself for you."
"Woooooooo..."
Emina's mouth was gagged, and she couldn't say a word. At that moment, she wished her gaze could be as sharp as a dagger, cutting the despicable guy in front of her into a thousand pieces.
“Ah! What a familiar look, resentment, hatred, loathing, just like Ifarna.” Hojo didn’t care about Emina’s look at all, and instead laughed wildly: “But unfortunately you are not Ifarna. You are of almost no value except for resenting me. Oh, no, you can also get Alice to come over.”
"Do you know this? Ifarna was Alice's biological mother, but do you know her fate? I dissected her, studied every part of her body—not just her hair, flesh, and bones, but even her cells… Ancient beings are truly wondrous creatures, intoxicatingly beautiful. It's a pity Alice was the last Ancient being in the world; otherwise, I would love to experience it again."
Chapter 214! The Battle of the Research Lab
……
Hojo's words made Emina even more excited, and she kept twisting her body, so much so that the Shinra soldiers guarding her had to hold her down.
"Don't save me, Alice, don't save me..."
She prayed in her heart, even though she knew it was impossible, because she knew very well that Alice loved her just as much as she loved Alice.
Hojo seemed to be able to read people's minds. He slowly walked up to Eminem, squatted down, stared into her eyes, and said, "You're probably praying that she won't come to save you, but unfortunately, someone just reported that the Ancient One has already entered."
Emina's eyes were already filled with tears. Seeing this, Hojo continued, "Don't worry, once she's here, I'll let you go—hmm, it seems I can't let you leave so easily. As her foster mother, you should see some things, like, how about seeing her mate with some magical creature? It's an Ancient Species, who knows what kind of child she'll give birth to? Maybe even a god, hahaha..."
After saying that, Hojo burst into maniacal laughter again. His eerie laughter not only terrified Emina but also chilled the Shinra soldiers around him. Such a mad scientist was actually a high-ranking member of Shinra.
But Hojo's laughter didn't last long before it was interrupted by a cold, sarcastic voice: "Hojo, you really are a bastard."
"Hey, look who's here! I've been waiting for you for ages!" Despite being called a bastard, Hojo wasn't annoyed and still smiled as he looked at the door.
Outside the gate, Shen Ye, Alice, and Tifa walked in one after another. When Alice saw her adoptive mother, Amina, who was tied up, she clenched her fists angrily and shouted, "Let go of my mother!"
