“That’s… not on any of the official layouts.” Ophelia exhaled slowly. “Then that’s where the truth is.” And she was going to find it — with or without permission. The door to S3-X required dual retina scans, a blood sample, and a coded phrase. But Ophelia didn’t need access. She remembered it. The phrase echoed in her mind before she even touched the panel: “Order before freedom.” The door hissed open, revealing a dark chamber lined with cases. Each case contained a person.

Lena screamed: “HELP! SOMEBODY—HELP ME!” Kass lifted the syringe again. “The prototype must adapt quickly. Your blood will complete the stabilization.” Lena’s breath hitched. She was going to die here. Or worse— be used to birth monsters like this thing in front of her. “No—please—STOP!” The prototype lunged. Lena braced— And then— The entire room shook. Lights flickered. An alarm blared overhead. INTRUDERS ON SUB-LEVEL SEVEN. INTRUDERS ON SUB-LEVEL SEVEN.

But as I moved, Evan's head snapped toward my position with uncanny accuracy. "There," he said, pointing almost exactly where I stood. "Right there, father. She's right there." "I don't see anything," Emma said, but her thoughts were uncertain now. A click- What if he's right? What if she really is here somehow? "Activate the containment protocols," Richard ordered, pulling out his phone. "If Evan's correct, if there really is someone with supernatural abilities in this room, we'll flush them out." I heard alarms begin to sound throughout the facility, heard the guards outside mobilizing, heard Richard giving orders to lock down the entire building. And I made a split-second decision.

"You never mentioned this failsafe—" "Because David didn't know about it. Because X-One, X-Two, and X-Three don't know about it. Because the entity didn't know about it when it hijacked David's consciousness eight years ago." She pulled up holographic displays. "But activating it requires three components. Morrison's research. Your natural integration. And David's voluntary participation."

Julian whispered: “Crane built a ghost key into the network.” Sophie frowned. “How many of them can use it?” Julian didn’t answer. On day seven, Silas vanished. No breach. No sensor trip. He simply… disappeared. Elias was the first to notice. He checked the logs. Last sighting: 0300 hours. Standing in the garden. Speaking with Subject V-3. Cameras glitched during the interaction. V-3 refused to answer any questions. When Elias confronted her, she only said: “He didn’t run. He went inward.”

All the doubt, anger, and suspicion vanished in the face of that tiny, frail voice. Officer Holt's voice came urgently through my phone. "Sophia, we see him! He's in the hidden chamber of Unit 1204! Hold on tight! We'll organize a breach immediately and—" "It's too late," I interrupted. "Professor Walker's system is linked to mine. He just triggered a self-destruct program. In 15 minutes, the oxygen in that hidden chamber will run out." "What?" "Officer Holt," I uttered with a newfound numbness, "only I can save him now."

Like he already knew. Then Adrian’s mother continued softly. “The project wasn’t trying to create enhanced subjects.” Silence followed. “It was trying to create perfect ones.” No one moved. No one breathed. Then Elliot slowly turned the tablet around. Security footage. Multiple camera feeds. Hallways. Laboratories. Containment sectors. And walking through every corridor, were people. Human looking. But wrong. Their movements were too synchronized. Too perfect. Too identical. Like copies. Like puppets. Like nightmares. Amara felt cold all over.

【SYSTEM WARNING: SSS-CLASS FOUNDATION PROTOCOL HAS BEEN OVERRIDDEN BY AN EXTERNAL AUTHORITY. A cold mechanical female voice suddenly echoed through the elevator. Ding. The elevator stopped. Not at its destination. Someone had forcibly seized control. There was only one authority aboard the flagship capable of overriding Alexander's command. The Founder's Code. The elevator doors slid apart. Rows of black-clad operatives filled the corridor. Armed. Motionless. Waiting. At the far end stood a medical wheelchair. An elderly man sat in it. Thin tubes connected him to an oxygen system. His body looked frail.

He looks pale, a faint scent of fear rolling off his skin. "Alpha," Soren whispers, his eyes darting toward the main lounge. "I found the access log. Marcus's men moved a 'Code Blank' down to sub-level three an hour ago. It has to be Emily. They’ve got her heavily sedated, sir. They’re keeping her under Council High Guard protocol, not Silvercrest."

“Come out and show yourselves! Follow the sound of my voice! Any spirit or entity that’s here with us now! You can use our energy if you need iy! Use my energy! Manifest yourself!” “That’s when you hitchhiked the ride, right?” “Yes.” The image froze on him like that, open arms and daring smirk. “That, there, was the worst mistake of my life,” said Brandon’s voiceover. They cut to Amy’s interview, a stark contrast from the dark basement to the Manor garden under the sun. In her smiling, educational way, she gave a succinct description of what scavengers are, and explained that Brandon’s invitation for entities to use his energy had compelled one to attach itself to him.
