As soon as she exited the elevator, Raven frowned.
"Ugh, what a mess." After sighing, Raven walked towards the laboratory.
The closer she got, the less Honkai Energy there was in the air.
By the time she reached the laboratory door, the Honkai Energy content in the air was close to zero.
Stepping into the laboratory, inside, besides the damaged experimental pod, there was no trace of any test subjects.
'Is this the power of the Tranquility Gem? It truly is tranquil, leaving nothing behind.'
Raven walked directly to the test bench, pulled out a USB drive from her person, and plugged it directly into the test bench.
The internal data began to copy automatically.
At this moment, Raven walked over to Jackal's corpse.
Looking at the large hole in Jackal's chest, Raven knelt down to examine it.
"What a decisive attack, but to be killed by your own test subject, how tragic," Raven said, shaking her head.
She reached out and felt Jackal's corpse a few times, noticing an empty syringe in Jackal's hand and Jackal's remaining anti-Honkai Energy smoke bombs.
Raven quickly retreated.
It wasn't until the test bench indicated that the copying was complete that Raven relaxed her guard a bit, slowly walking to the test bench to unplug and secure the USB drive.
It wasn't until Raven slowly exited the laboratory and could use some Honkai Energy that she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Jackal, that lunatic, seemed to have injected something dangerous into herself before she died.
Raven had originally thought about helping to collect Jackal's corpse, but now, she decided against it.
After returning to the first floor, Raven quickly left the elevator.
She walked to the front desk, looking at the screen in front of her.
"Gray Serpent, I know you're there," Raven called directly to the screen.
"Is there something, Miss Raven?" As soon as Raven finished calling, Gray Serpent's figure appeared on the screen.
"Jackal's body is still in her laboratory; remember to find someone to clean it up," Raven said directly.
"Her body is still there? I understand." After Gray Serpent nodded, he asked, "Did you get the research data?"
Raven took out the USB drive and tossed it twice in her hand, finally holding it between her fingers. "Of course, it's just a copy of the data."
"Oh, and the anti-Honkai Energy smoke bomb's effect in the lab hasn't worn off yet. Also, Jackal seems to have injected herself with some kind of serum."
"I understand," Gray Serpent's voice came from behind Raven.
Two robots walked in.
Gray Serpent stopped beside Raven, while the other robot walked directly towards the elevator.
Looking at Gray Serpent in front of her, Raven directly threw the USB drive to him.
"Here's the data. I guess my job here is done. I'm going to rest now," Raven said, yawning.
Without waiting for Gray Serpent's reply, Raven walked directly towards another elevator.
Since Aili and Fu Hua arrived last night, Raven hadn't rested at all.
After all, no one knew when Aili and Fu Hua would return here.
So Raven had been waiting.
She just didn't expect Aili and the others to arrive until the next morning.
To prevent conflict, all ordinary employees of Heliopos Life Science who were working today were given a day off.
Inside the entire Heliopos Life Science, apart from Raven, the only living person, and Jackal in the underground laboratory, there were no other living people; they were all robots.
Not long after, the robot sent to retrieve Jackal's corpse emerged from the elevator.
The moment Gray Serpent saw the corpse, he drew his pistol and fired multiple shots at Jackal's body.
This was because Jackal's corpse showed a particularly obvious Honkai Energy reaction.
Upon contact with Jackal's corpse, the bullets were directly deflected.
Gray Serpent immediately ordered the robot to discard Jackal's corpse.
As Jackal's corpse was thrown out of the building, it rolled a few times on the ground before slowly standing up.
"Not dead?" Gray Serpent walked out and asked calmly.
But what responded to him was not a normal answer, but a beast-like roar.
Through the detector, Gray Serpent could clearly see that the surrounding Honkai Energy was rapidly converging on Jackal.
Jackal's body slowly became covered with a layer of white substance.
"It seems she's lost consciousness," Gray Serpent quickly controlled the surrounding patrol robots to gather in this direction.
He also changed the magazine in his pistol.
"Raven, there's work to do," Gray Serpent said calmly.
On the Heliopos Life Science building, a piece of glass shattered directly.
Then Jackal was hit by something and slid backward for a distance.
Raven had also changed into a new outfit, a black bodysuit that outlined her figure, and in her hand, she held a highly mechanical compound bow.
"I knew it, that lunatic Jackal wouldn't inject herself with anything good," Raven said, shooting another arrow.
Gray Serpent was also emptying the ammunition of the weapon in his hand at this time.
"Hey, Gray Serpent, this time, you'll have to give me more compensation."
Saying that, Raven threw a smoke bomb she had taken from Jackal's body.
Before the smoke bomb could land, Jackal slapped it away.
"Tsk, did she sense a threat?" Raven had just finished exclaiming.
Jackal had already appeared in front of Raven.
The current Jackal looked just like a real wolf.
Her entire mask had turned white and seemed to have become part of Jackal's body.
After Raven dodged sideways, the hand not holding the bow and arrow swept across Jackal's body.
The blade worn on her finger scraped out a few sparks on Jackal's body.
"Damn it." Raven, whose attack had no effect, quickly moved away from Jackal.
But the next instant, Jackal appeared in front of Raven, clawing down at her.
Raven immediately took out another smoke bomb and directly shoved it into Jackal's mouth.
Then Raven was sent flying to the side by Jackal.
There were several distinct marks on Raven's arm.
Her armor had been directly torn open by Jackal's claws.
"Gray Serpent, what on earth did Jackal inject into her body?"
Looking at Jackal struggling in the smoke, Raven shouted loudly at Gray Serpent.
"It might be a super-transformation factor that Jackal synthesized herself," Gray Serpent said calmly.
The surrounding robots also slowly gathered.
The robots fired directly into the smoke.
Because it was an open area, the smoke dissipated quickly.
Jackal, in the smoke, stared at Raven with red eyes.
On Jackal's body, the white carapace had some broken marks.
But after the smoke cleared, it was rapidly recovering.
"Raven, you can use the Third Divine Key," Gray Serpent quickly told Raven.
"I want to use it, but I need time to go back and get it!" Raven dodged Jackal, who was charging again.
At this point, Jackal's speed had noticeably slowed down.
"I'll buy you time," Gray Serpent said, approaching Jackal.
Jackal clearly didn't hold much animosity towards Gray Serpent. Even though the bullets Gray Serpent fired created cracks on Jackal's body, Jackal remained fixated on Raven.
