“All in due time cara mia. In the meantime, I have dropped a present off at the Sinai Center. Just a small token of my—depravation.” The line went dead. “Bring up the center, open the intercoms,” Anabella said frantically. Sure enough, there was a man, a vampire, walking towards the hospital. He was several blocks away. “Team two and three are closest,” an operator said. “Team two and three head to the Sinai Center now,” Anabella shouted. “Target 6 is approaching.”

The system was designed to detect ghosts — students who’d vanished but weren’t supposed to. Her name flashed again. SOPHIA MAKINDE — STATUS: ALIVE A male voice in the dark swore under his breath. He clicked the command prompt. Initiate: Containment Protocol Code: “CRIMSON WAKE” Behind the hum of servers, a second monitor showed another girl’s profile now tagged: HELENA JAMES — POTENTIAL INFECTED The machine made no sound. But someone watching was already picking up the phone. Back in Madrid — Sophia’s Small Apartment

The creature didn't scream; it hissed, its orange core flaring as it tried to stabilize. "That’s for Phuwin, you glowing bastard!" Somito roared, bringing the mace down again and again until the orange light flickered and died, leaving only a pile of cooling, amber slush on the floor. "You really need to work on your stealth, old man," Zilo said, rushing to the terminal and his fingers flying across the keys. "Okay, I’ve got the bypass. Cell 402. Restricted access. It says... 'Subject: Pilot. Status: Integration Complete.'"

The heat was unbearable, the stale air thick with dust. "You are one minute away," Cyber informed me. “There is one more turn before the vault.” “Easy for you to say,” I grumbled under my breath. “Try crawling through five inches of dirt and sweat, then get back to me.” The vibration of my bracelet confirmed I was close. I reached the final turn and spotted the metallic tile Cyber had mentioned. The adhesive wallpaper concealed the opening, but I quickly peeled it back, revealing the screws holding the tile in place. “Agent 64, I am going to disable the cameras in the room for three minutes. Deactivate the locks of the vault and Grab the diamonds,” Cyber said.

I muttered. Amy called back twenty minutes later, and she was shaking her head when I picked up. “Good Lord, Fran. I can’t believe they have it there for the whole world to see,” she said. “Now I’m positive they performed an occultist ritual to sever the attachment. It must’ve been complex enough to require two steps. What you saw on TV was the last step, when he actually freed himself from the parasite.” “I’m gonna kill that man bloody.” Amy chuckled. “Easy, Fran. We still need him. When can I visit the Manor?

Just a blank black icon and a status line: “Signal received.” “Elias.” He turned. Hall had followed him out, her brow furrowed. “Lab results came in from the Hedron place,” she said, handing him a printed sheet. “They pulled fragments of an unregistered AI construct off his personal cloud storage. Same structure as the last two victims.”

"But if Valkyrie comes within a mile, I'll feel her." They waited. Watching hotel staff, monitoring security feeds, tracking every person who entered or left. Alexei radiated tension beside her, his wolf barely contained. He hated waiting, hated not being able to act. At 1630 hours, Irina gasped over comms: "Contact! Hybrid signature, north entrance. She's here." "All teams, alert," Anya commanded. "Target is on-site. Do not engage until identity confirmed." Dimitri accessed security footage, his fingers flying over keyboards. "Got her. Server uniform, entering through kitchen. Subject 2-A confirmed."

Servers hummed low, blue light pulsing from behind blast doors. The core chamber was smaller than Berlin’s compact, vicious. A single console glowed: “Swarm 2.0 – Failsafe Node. Heir authentication required.” I stepped forward. Retinal scan flared painful blue sweeping my face. “Scan confirmed. Luca Volkov Marino. Primary heir. Swarm 2.0 online.

"That constitutes my own department's liability." She violently broke his grip, driving her fist back into his chest. "Speak! Where is she?" 杰西卡靠在走廊墙上，双臂抱胸，饶有兴味地看着。 "Kessler, how much longer does your network intend to execute this theater? Her biological source was extracted from the sector three years ago under your direct authorization. Even my department lacks the coordinates of her current cell.
