After faking her death in interstellar space, the powerful woman disguised herself as a man and went

Just as Zhao Yuheng had said, as they walked forward, all sorts of sounds came from behind the door.

"Congratulations on your new life and your return to the embrace of my God!"

Leng Ran's steps faltered.

"S45, greetings, High Priest, may the light be with you."

"Priest? The priest of Storm Star... the other shore flower?" Zhao Yuheng's eyes flashed with murderous intent. "Since we've encountered her, we might as well kill her."

"No." Leng Ran raised her hand to stop her. "If I'm not mistaken, the one inside the door is not the real one."

Zhao Yuheng was slightly taken aback: "An interesting point of view, please elaborate?"

He coldly gestured for him to continue forward: "So far, I have seen three spider lilies, one of which I killed with my own hands."

The sound came from behind the door again.

"Doctor, can my illness really be cured?"

The voice of the red spider lily rang out once more.

"Stay calm. I'm about to probe your brain. You need to stay alert and not try to resist."

Another door opens, and two spider lilies are having a conversation.

"...How many were delivered this week?"

"Thirty-six."

"So few...how many have been modified?"

"Two succeeded. Ten died during the memory erasure process. Twelve died during the disassembly process. Twelve died during the reassembly process."

"It's alright. By the way, number 97, your flowering season is almost over, right? Get ready to return today."

"I know, you don't need to remind me."

The door opened, and a glamorous woman in a white coat with a "97" badge on her chest gracefully stepped out – it was none other than Biyanhua!

For a fleeting moment, Leng Ran even doubted that this was the real Lycoris radiata!

Not only do they look alike... their temperament is exactly the same as the two spider lilies she first met and the one she killed!

Therefore, if the red spider lily can really "mass produce itself", then the flower dean of the research institute is definitely an exception!

The origins of the cyborgs... were indeed pretty much as I had guessed. I wonder how many hospitals were "supplying" them; they really treated these patients as commodities to be traded.

Furthermore, what do they mean by the flowering period and the return of flowers?

Seeing that No. 97, the Spider Lily, was walking towards them, Leng Ran immediately pulled Zhao Yuheng over and made the two of them stand close to the wall to avoid being bumped into by her.

"These...are all spider lilies?" Zhao Yuheng asked, somewhat taken aback. "Are they exactly the same as the ones you saw before?"

Leng Ran's reaction was much calmer: "I might as well tell you another piece of information. Dean Hua of the Storm Star Academy of Sciences is very likely also an incarnation of the Other Shore Flower, but a rather special one."

"What?" Zhao Yuheng's pupils dilated in shock. "Storm Star is truly riddled with holes."

He glanced at him coldly: "You seem completely unaware... Didn't Boss Zhao tell you about these things?"

Zhao Yuheng smiled: "I was just waiting for you to tell me, my good partner."

His arrival on Stormstar, partnering with Leng Ran, was arranged after his second uncle placed him on the special recruitment list. This was a mission, and also a test for him.

In order to improve their "colleague relationship" and to force him to act with Mo Li, his good second uncle only gave him very limited information, and asked him to find out the rest on his own.

As expected of someone who has been an undercover agent within the Illuminati for many years, it now seems that the intelligence Mo Li possesses far exceeds what he knew.

Zhao Yuheng looked at the number 97 spider lily and said, "Let's follow it."

Unaware that two little tails were following her, No. 97, the other shore flower, entered the elevator, and Leng Ran and Zhao Yuheng took the opportunity to enter as well.

She spoke softly, "God's gift, the flowering season has arrived."

As if a certain command had been given, the lights in the elevator suddenly went out, and three seconds later, the dark red light came on again.

Zhao Yuheng: "Divine gift? The artificial intelligence here? What level?"

Leng Ran was slightly surprised. She had thought that the divine gift was just an artificial intelligence from the nameless star base, and should have disappeared with the destruction of the main base.

"The artificial intelligence of the nameless star base. I thought it was level six... but now it seems that it can achieve cross-planetary management, so its true level is probably... even higher than Storm."

After waiting for more than a minute, when the elevator doors opened again, the two of them widened their eyes at the same time, looked at each other, and simultaneously read the shock in each other's eyes.

Before them was an incredibly open space, with two towering red and white spider lilies, like giant trees, in the very center of this space, intertwined and echoing each other.

The white spider lilies looked somewhat dull, with dried petals occasionally falling to the ground, far less vibrant than the red spider lilies beside them, which were emitting a soft glow and dyeing the entire space blood red.

Each stamen of the red spider lily is connected to a capsule, which carries some unknown substance. The capsules are supported by the petals that wrap around them. Upon closer inspection, each capsule contains a blurry human figure, and the figure becomes clearer the closer the capsule is to the ground.

Inside the capsules were individual spider lilies!

“There really are madmen cloning themselves, and in such large numbers.” Zhao Yuheng’s brows furrowed deeply. “Cloning technology has always been a taboo technology, involving very complex ethical and moral issues… But then again, what wouldn’t the Illuminati do?”

"To become a priest, one must be completely insane."

Leng-Judge-Ran: ...Thank you, I was offended.

Then, number 97, the red spider lily, calmly and slowly approached the two red spider lilies and gently placed her hand on the stem of the white flower.

The white spider lilies remained unchanged, while the red spider lilies beside them flickered a few times.

“My broken and sinful soul still cannot catch your eye.” The number 97 spider lily looked sad. “So be it, let me… no, let us bear all the sins.”

The red spider lily resolutely turned around, placed its hand on the red stem, and laughed maniacally: "There's no going back! We can't go back!"

A red spider lily extends a stamen, tightly entwining the No. 97 spider lily, then pulls it into the flower's core, where it completely disappears under the cover of layers of petals.

Leng Ran: "This flower... is it alive?"

Zhao Yuheng's expression was grave: "It has no life force; it's more like a dead object. Has the Illuminati's technological development reached this level? This doesn't seem like something that could be made with current technology!"

After the spider lily disappeared, the flower fell silent for a moment. Then, a capsule closest to the ground was pulled into the flower's core. The sound of the capsule breaking was heard, and the flower tilted downwards. A brand new spider lily stepped down the steps made of petals.

The person in front of me was exactly the same as the previously vanished spider lily, wearing a white coat and a number "97" hanging on his chest.

She looked down at her brand-new body: "Only I can truly feel at ease."

The new spider lily entered the elevator again, and Leng Ran and Zhao Lesong followed.

"God has granted me my return."

The red light in the elevator disappeared again, plunging into darkness once more. Three seconds later, it returned to normal white.

In the instant he was plunged into darkness, Leng Ran suddenly felt a sense of disorientation.

A sigh seemed to echo in my ears: "Everything you seek comes at a price..."
