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

Six years later.

After Leng Ran began the hellish training, he often collapsed in the training field, covered in injuries, and was carried back to his room almost every day.

After Leng Ran broke through to the fourth level of physique, the Illuminati began to assign her various life-or-death missions, such as surviving alone on a planet completely occupied by alien beasts for a month, or infiltrating a space pirate ship and assassinating all the crew members, or capturing a C-level alien beast alive, etc.

During the battle against the C-level alien beasts, Leng Ran even came to the brink of death, but fortunately, she survived. She could see that the Illuminati wanted to train people to be killing machines, so she went along with their wishes and disguised herself as a cold and ruthless fighting machine.

On the other hand, she could also understand why it was said that she was the only living candidate.

According to the Illuminati's rules, if Leng Ran didn't have the fighting instincts she inherited from her past life, and if she really was just a talented ten-year-old child, she would still die.

Leng Ran is now sixteen years old, and today is the day of the final trial. If he passes the trial and undergoes the 'sacred ceremony', Leng Ran will become a formal Holy Son.

Leng Ran got up early to go for a morning run. When she returned, she found Moore waiting for her at the door.

"Your Highness, your excellence is evident to all. I wish you a victorious return in advance, and may the light be with you." Moore bowed respectfully and formally, then rose to announce the trial details.

Leng Ran was prepared to accept a mission so perverse that he might die, but he never expected that he would underestimate the disgusting nature of the Illuminati.

Moore: "The Son who serves my God needs to obey my God's will unconditionally. He is fearless and has no weaknesses. You need to prove this to my God."

Moore: "The final trial is simple: kill Xue Lang, the leader of the War Wolf Beast Hunting Group, a member of the Illuminati who has defected."

"Hmm." Leng Ran was inwardly shaken and uneasy, but on the surface he remained indifferent and turned to go to the equipment room.

Killing the person who was willing to take him in was a test to see if Leng Ran had "no weaknesses," and also a test to see if Leng Ran's heart truly obeyed orders unconditionally.

They really turned people into killing machines, into the sharp blades of the Illuminati, into ruthless and absolutely obedient tools.

These charlatans of the Illuminati, while worshipping the so-called God of Light, are conducting human experiments that violate human ethics and creating killing machines. In Leng Ran's eyes, they are nothing more than an evil cult.

We will wipe out every single one of these charlatans sooner or later, together with the military.

Section B. The Shen family residence.

"Xiao Han, you fought exceptionally well in this large-scale map battle." The Shen family specially invited a retired military officer to serve as Shen Junhan's instructor and guide him in combat techniques.

"The Berserker Mech is indeed the most suitable for you. Of course, your 'Angel' and 'Impermanence' are equally amazing," the instructor praised. "You can participate in more simulated map battles, which will greatly help improve your combat awareness."

"Hmm." Shen Junhan replied absentmindedly, "Instructor Li, is there any news about Ali today?"

Instructor Li shook his head. "Xiao Han, I know you're worried about your friend, but our search has yielded no results over the years. All the clues end after the bombing six years ago. Mo Li seems to have vanished into thin air."

Shen Junhan remained silent. Everyone assumed that Leng Ran had died in the explosion. Shen Junhan had personally met with Black Jack, who only admitted to bringing Leng Ran to Area B, after which Leng Ran left the manor and disappeared without a trace.

Layton Technologies gave a similar response, stating only that the bombing was caused by malicious intrusion, the perpetrator is still at large, and they do not know any ten-year-old boy.

The underground arena stated that they received Leng Ran's request to withdraw as early as after the match with Blackjack. They did not inform the public immediately, but waited until the hype surrounding the fight subsided before notifying them.

Instructor Li advised, "Xiao Han, you are already eighteen years old this year, which is the age to apply for military academy... The Shen family promises you that as long as you go to military academy, they will cure Xue Lang."

"Let bygones be bygones. You are still young, and life is long. There is nothing that cannot be let go. Time will heal all wounds."

But time... hasn't diminished my longing for him.

Shen Junhan walked to the French windows, looked out, and remained silent for a long time.

Ali, it's been six years. Where are you? Are you really... still alive?

Shen Junhan's eyes darkened: "I agree to the Shen family's request. But before I leave, I need to see Grandpa Commander."

--------------------------------

Hunter's Camp.

After many years, Leng Ran returned to the camp and saw the familiar figures of people busy at work: Uncle Yuan, Uncle Hu, Uncle Dao, the aunties, and the children, including the now taller Xiao Lingdang. A wave of warmth welled up in his heart.

She cannot acknowledge them now, and her purpose in coming here is to kill that kind and gentle leader, Grandpa. If she fails, the Illuminati will kill her without hesitation.

Leng Ran had already devised a plan to make the regimental commander fake his death and escape, but if he did so, he would never be able to see these people again.

Leng Ran quietly sneaked into her room. Nothing had been moved. The pot she had taken from Zhao Fox's spaceship was still there, without any dust, indicating that it was regularly cleaned.

Leng Ran entered Jun Han's room again and was stunned. Jun Han's small wooden house was empty, as if he had left a long time ago.

Leng Ran quietly opened the hidden compartment under Jun Han's bed, a compartment known only to the two of them, and found a note left by Jun Han.

“Ah Li, if you come back, you can come to the Shen family mansion in Area B. I will always be here.”

—Jun Han

Leng Ran felt a lump in her throat. "Stupid Jun Han, why are you still waiting for me?"

She is now powerless, like a small boat in a stormy sea, which could capsize at any moment and be doomed forever.

Meimeng had told her that Junhan was the second young master of the Shen family, and because he had been looking for her for many years, she had questioned their relationship.

Leng Ran was worried that the Illuminati madmen would harm Jun Han, so she claimed that she was only using Jun Han.

Leng Ran restored the note to its original place, touched the thing in his sleeve, and then secretly sneaked into the commander's room.

Like Junhan's room, it was already empty.

What happened? Where did Grandpa Commander go?
