System Of Blood: To Crave Survival The Integration Chamber
CHAPTER 124Camryn's POVJulian's underground facility was enormous.He led me through corridors carved from stone that predated Lenore's founding, past chambers that hummed with machinery I didn't recognize, and through security checkpoints manned by researchers who looked at me with curiosity and calculation. Every person we passed wore the same expression: absolute conviction in Julian's vision."How many people work here?" I asked."Forty-three researchers, eighteen security personnel, thirty-two support staff." Julian walked with the confidence of someone in complete control of his environment. "All of them volunteers. All of them believers in what we're building.""Believers in forced evolution?""Believers in survival. When I recruited them, I was honest about what the project entailed. They chose to participate because they understood the alternative was extinction." He stopped in front of a massive door marked INTEGRATION CHAMBER 1. "This is where the process happens."The ch
System Of Blood: To Crave Survival Lives at Stake
CHAPTER 123Camryn POV Julian looked at the machine with an adoring gaze. "I'm talking about creating something new. Something that transcends the weakness of humanity and the mindlessness of anomalies." He turned to face me. "You've seen what integrated anomalies can do. Fabian is Stage IV because he carries one inside him. Reginald survived House Blue's experiments because his body adapted to corruption. Integration isn't mutation; it's evolution.""Forced evolution. Taking away people's humanity without their consent.""Consent is a luxury in times of crisis. Lenore is dying, sister. Within two weeks, Intent levels will reach critical mass. The system will collapse completely. When that happens, only the strong will survive—those who adapted, who evolved, who became something more than human.""Or you could help us stop the collapse. Use your resources, your knowledge, and your influence to calm the Intent surge and break the feedback loop.""Why would I do that?" Julian asked gen
System Of Blood: To Crave Survival Echoes of Gold
CHAPTER 122Camryn's POVI sent the message to Julian at dawn.I need time to think about your offer. Can we talk? Just us. No traps, no games.His response came within minutes: House Gold estate. North entrance. Come alone, or don't come at all."He's expecting a trap," Miranda said, reading over my shoulder."Of course he is. But he also wants to believe I'm wavering." I pocketed the comm device. "Narcissists always think they can convert people to their vision given enough time and the right arguments.""Is that what he is?" Olyrienne asked. "A narcissist?""He's my brother. I know how he thinks." I thought about Lucille's life, about Julian's calculated cruelty. "He doesn't see other people as real the way he's real. We're all just variables in his equations, problems to be solved, or resources to be exploited.""And you think you can fool him?" Fabian asked skeptically."No. But I can make him think he's fooling me. There's a difference."We'd spent the past six hours in an aband
System Of Blood: To Crave Survival The Breathing Room
CHAPTER 121Camryn's POVI raised the device. "Move.""Why? We're finally meeting properly. I've been watching you for months, you know. Ever since you found Eugene's device. I was curious to see what my dear sister would do with it.""I'm not your sister.""Aren't you? We share blood in two worlds. That's more than most siblings can claim." He tilted his head. "Though I suppose I did kill you once. Does that make family reunions awkward?""Get out of my way, Julian.""No, I don't think I will." He pulled something from his pocket, a small device that looked like a modified comm unit. "I need you to see something first. To understand what I've been building all these years."He pressed a button, and the walls around us lit up with projected images. Surveillance footage from across Lenore shows riots burning, anomalies manifesting, and people dying by the thousands. But the footage was organized and edited, showing specific patterns."Do you see it?" Julian asked. "The anomalies aren't
System Of Blood: To Crave Survival The Marionette's Stage
CHAPTER 120Camryn's POVWe hit the facility at 2 AM, when security shifts changed and attention was at its lowest.The western industrial district was quieter than the riot zones but no less dangerous. Abandoned factories loomed like dead giants, and the air smelled like chemicals and decay. Whitney's detection equipment showed at least a dozen anomaly signatures in the immediate area, all Class C or lower, but enough to complicate our approach."Perimeter guards," Amon whispered, his shadows detecting movement before we saw it. "Four positions. Professional security, not House military.""Private contractors," Miranda assessed. "Julian's covering his tracks. If something goes wrong, House Blue can deny involvement."Smart. Ruthless. Exactly what I'd expect from my brother.We'd spent twelve hours preparing and analyzing the facility layout, identifying entry points, charging Eugene's device, and planning contingencies. Fabian's arm had healed enough to be functional, though he still
System Of Blood: To Crave Survival Intent Overflow
CHAPTER 119Camryn's POV I saw flashes from Algernon’s life—snapshots, really. There he was, a young man buried in anomaly theory at the Academy. Later, a researcher stumbled on House Gold’s real agenda, and what he found wrecked him. He watched his family fall apart. Spent years, decades, clawing at the ruins, trying to put it all back together. By the end, he was just an old man, angry and alone, convinced he’d let everyone down.And then—nothing.The Chancellor was gone. Not hidden, not asleep. Just gone, for good.I lowered the device. My hands shook with a mix of exhaustion and leftover adrenaline. The power cell was toast; we’d need hours before it’d work again.“Is everyone okay?” I managed.Miranda rubbed her neck. It was turning a nasty shade of purple. “Alive.”Amon’s shadows fluttered around him, thin and almost see-through. “Mostly functional.”Whitney just stared at her monitors. “The signature’s gone. Totally wiped. No corruption, no mind fragments. He’s just... gone.”
