Primordial Soul's Rebirth

"So? What got you guys so riled up?"

Alex was standing next to Ann, observing the assassins as Clare walked toward them to check up on their identities.

The assassins were now trapped, they had nowhere to run, and no other option to think of.

Unlike what they do in the cultivation novel, biting one's tongue doesn't mean suicide.

You need to know where and when to cut, your teeth need to be sharp enough, and many other things come into play, so although it's easy in cultivation novels, it is not here.

The only choice they had was to kill each other before they were caught (Like they were not already caught).

And from the looks of it, that seems to be their plan from the way they were exchanging glances.

Alex who was standing with Ann could easily guess their intentions, but he didn't do anything for now.

"The information we got from this guild…"

Ann, who was sulking about the fact that only Alice got a kiss turned serious the moment she heard Alex's question.

Her fists were clenched, but listening to the scream of the guy Alice was playing with calmed her down a bit.

None of them knew what Alice was doing, other than Alex of course, but just listening to the screams of the guy sent shivers down the spines of the assassins, making them seriously look at each other.

'Let's kill each other.'

The screams only made them solidify their thoughts.

Alex, on the other hand, was smiling proudly as he observed Alice with his all-seeing eyes.

"What was in it?"

On the outside, however, he was listening to Ann's words.

"The report of their experiments….."

Ann gritted her teeth as she recalled the photos she saw in the files.

When they arrived here, and emptied the guild's archive, Ann quickly moved out to process all the information with her team.

Alice tagged along with her, so when they read the details of the experiments and saw the photos of the result, their blood boiled with rage.

Even the cold Clare who was with them was clenching her fist.

Clare was a human, and the things she saw were done to humans as well.

"What was it about?"

Alex wanted to know what it was that would make Alice turn into this new Alice.

Ann looked up into Alex's eyes and kept staring into them.

"They were conducting human experiments…"

Ann spoke after a while.

It took her time to calm herself.

"What kind of human experiments?"

Alex asked gently.

He was observing Ann's expressions and emotions so he questioned as he held her hand gently.

'Ah….'

Ann, who felt Alex's warm and big fingers over her small fingers, she sighed in relief.

Just the touch of Alex brought her more relief than anything.

Alex didn't rush her, he gave her time, and after a while, Ann finally opened her eyes and spoke.

"They were experimenting with the reason why we have no demi-humans here, and they were trying to create demi-humans by combining human genes with animal genes.

They would sometimes try out their genes as well…."

Ann momentarily paused for a breather before she looked into Alex's eyes and muttered in a low voice.

"The process they used to transfer the genes…."

Ann looked down, unable to speak more.

"It's all right, I get it."

Alex was not a fool, just looking at Ann, Alice, and Clare's reaction, he could guess what would've happened.

But Ann wasn't done yet.

She took out her tab from the storage ring and passed it over to Alex.

"It has the images we got from their files."

Ann forwarded the tab to Alex.

Alex looked at Ann before he nodded and opened the tab.

It didn't have a password since it was always in Ann's hand and no other than her could touch it unless she gave it to them.

So, it was not hard for him to open it.

And the first thing he saw after the tab opened made him frown his brows.

As he went on scrolling, his frown deepened.

Although he didn't care about anyone else, and he would kill the world if it was needed, he still had some morals.

Even he had a line he would never cross.

But looking at the pictures that were in the tab made him realize just how bad people can be.

Hearing the screams didn't make him feel proud anymore.

It was more like he now thought that it was the least they deserved.

Alex passed the tab back to Ann without a word.

He didn't say anything, and neither did Ann.

The thing he saw was not something they should talk about.

It was just that the look on his face had now changed.

His smile was gone, replaced by a cold look.

His red eyes were shining with an ominous color that made a chill creep up in the assassins' hearts.

They didn't know why their heart felt heavy, but they knew that it was time for them to go on with their plans.

Clare had already taken off their masks, and other than two people, all of them had their faces (?) revealed, but that didn't mean anything to them.

All of them could see Alex walking toward them with the same cold look, and with each step he took, their hearts grew heavier.

They exchanged determined glances before they nodded at each other.

They knew that it was now or never. If they didn't do it now, then they might not even get a chance.

Alex was still silent, and even though he could easily see through their plans, he didn't do anything yet.

But just as the assassins prepared to jump at each other, Alex took another step.

*Step*

This particular step sounded louder than the scream to the assassins, and the next second, the world paused.

Other than Alice, Ann, and Clare, everything else paused.

Do's scream paused as well, and Alice who noticed the time pause walked out of the hall.

By now, she had calmed down.

However, she didn't regret her actions, rather, she thought that this was the right thing.

The moment she stepped out of the guild building, she heard Alex's words.

"Make it quick," Alex ordered Clare to hasten her work.

Clare just nodded her head.

She could tell the reason for Alex's behavior, she saw him watching the images in the tab, after all.

Alice didn't know that, so she looked at Ann for an answer, and Ann just stared back at Alice without saying anything.

But that was enough for Alice to understand what must've happened, so she nodded her head and walked toward Ann.

She didn't care about Do anymore. He was not in any condition to live anyway.

With the condition he was in, he would probably be dead within 2 minutes after Alex deactivated the temporal pause.

She was more interested in what Alex was going to do.
