Moon Shadow’s mind echoed with Isabelle’s words from the car. “Dark Shadow has suffered heavy losses. now. There will soon be another ‘mission failed‘ Blood Shadow. You could be next.”
Moon Shadow nodded and said, “My life belongs to the organisation. I am willing to follow any orders, even if it costs my life.”
Clubs patted Moon Shadow’s shoulder approvingly and said, I’m relieved to hear that.”
Then, Clubs added sadly, “We have invested so much in Blood Shadow, but she repaid us with betrayal. Forget it; there’s no use talking about it.”
Moon Shadow continued to follow him and asked, “Should we notify Joker and get another superior here?”
Clubs replied, “I’ll contact them shortly.”
Moon Shadow probed, “Master, that girl is as strong and cunning as Blood Shadow. Should I keep an eye on her?”
Clubs said, “Go ahead; I’ll open the door for you.”
Moon Shadow turned and went back to the first floor. He stood in front of a concealed door, waiting for Clubs to open it from the control room on the second floor.
When Moon Shadow returned to the underground lab, there were already two new devices in the iron cage. The technicians were connecting the devices to Isabelle’s brain.
At this moment, Isabelle was nothing more than a research subject for them.
Moon Shadow looked at her youthful face. As he stared, Isabelle’s face overlapped with Blood Shadow’s in his mind.
For a moment, it was as if he saw Blood Shadow about to be experimented on in the cage instead of Isabelle.
Inside the iron cage, Isabelle’s eyelids lifted slightly. Her gaze passed over the white coats in front of her, landing briefly on Moon Shadow outside the cage.
That calm, familiar look made Moon Shadow even more dazed.
Someone swept the shot–down drone like garbage into a trash bin. Once the castle returned to its usual calm, no one noticed that the drone in the trash bin suddenly moved.
A fist–sized, eye–like metal sphere detached from the drone and flew out.
It freely navigated the castle.
The project to extract Isabelle’s genes quickly progressed. Clubs took it very seriously. He even visited the lab multiple times a day to oversee the work.
Soon, Isabelle’s body was covered in needle marks, with various devices attached to her daily.
Facing these familiar scenes again, Isabelle felt only a slight physical revulsion. Emotionally, she remained

The research team worked tireless
Clubs were delighted with the d…
for three days and finally handed over several sets of data to Clubs.
The researchers finally had a moment to rest.
The lab quieted down temporarily.
Only Moon Shadow remained diligently guarding outside the cage.
Inside the cage, Isabelle’s head drooped. It was unclear if she was asleep or unconscious. They had injected her with muscle relaxants, rendering her unable to move.
Moon Shadow suddenly spoke, his voice soft yet as cold as a machine. “Is this how Storm Shadow died
too?”
He saw Isabelle’s figure stiffen slightly before she slowly lifted her face, expressionless as she looked at him.
Moon Shadow was equally expressionless as he replied, “So you don’t know.”
It was well into the night. The desert was pitch black and desolate. The castle glowed with a single light, and the interior was silent.
While most were asleep, tiny red dots, like fireflies, suddenly flickered in the dark sky.
The dots rapidly approached the castle. The radar quickly detected them, prompting the castle’s occupants to investigate.
Dozens of drones with red lights quickly surrounded the castle, appearing overhead. One drone locked onto its target and crashed into the large signal tower.
Boom!
A massive explosion sounded as the drone and signal tower were destroyed together. The flames briefly illuminate the castle.
The remaining drones also locked onto their targets and commenced a frenzy of self–destructive bombings.
