Tossing the dagger into a nearby trash bin, he shoved the captive towards Phil.


    “Ask the professor where Summer is at."


    How could that sicko who held people captive ever really let go of a woman who looked so much like Cynthia''s daughter?


    A dark, twisted part of Philip''s mind began to stir, almost as if this woman''s humiliation at Summer''s hands was akin to Maja''s. It


    wasn''t likely that Cynthia, after years of imprisonment, could remain untouched, right?


    The thought of both mother and daughter being vited by the same man was quite the script. The mere thought brought a


    softer smile to Philip''s eyes.


    00 had received professional training, but her skills were only good enough to mimic Maja; she wasn''t a match for a hypocrite


    like Philip.


    Now with her hands bound, she could hardly move.


    “Let go of me!"


    "| might, but first tell me, where''sn, and what''s he after?"


    Could it be thatn had actually followed her in? But why would he bring along a decoy? It was too risky, too exposing. Or was it


    thatn sent this woman ahead to scout things out, essentially as cannon fodder?


    Philip ruled out the possibility ofn being at the research base. Bringing along a decoy with mediocre skills was just


    nonsensical.


    00 pressed her lips, struggling a few times before realizing she was outmatched and stopped resisting. She knew exactly why


    her boss had sent her in - to throw these people into disarray and serve as a smokescreen.


    Just like now, Philip wouldn''t suspect that her boss was also present.


    As she was tied up, she noticed a woman standing not too far away. The woman looked like she had tried to rush over but


    stopped after a few steps, frozen in ce.


    Philip''s gaze followed, and he immediately spotted Sarah, her eyes brimming with tears. He hadn''t spoken much to the


    renowned doctor before, but she must have loathed him to cast a dissenting vote against him.


    What was Sarah doing now? Was she crying? Incredible.


    Philip quickly masked his expression and walked slowly to where Sarah stood.


    "Doctor, I''m Philip. I''ve only heard of you before, but it''s true what they say - knowing a person by repute is not as good as


    seeing him in the flesh."


    Sarah''s gaze lingered on 00 for a few seconds before she reluctantly looked up, but she chose not to shake hands with the man


    before her, instead taking a step back.


    Philip''s brow furrowed. Sarah left quickly, as if fleeing, heading straight for the core researchb.


    lan was already there, waiting, the vial he had retrieved from the air duct perfectly ced on the workbench.


    "Bang!"


    Theb door swung open, and Sarah strode in, her face ashen - not lost in her research as usual, but heading straight for a side


    corridor.


    lan raised an eyebrow and followed at a leisurely pace. At the end of the two hundred meter corridor was Sarah''s personal room,


    the door ajar, retching sounds emanating from within.


    lan paused at the doorway, also hearing the sound of a shattered mirror. After a few seconds of thought, he cautiously entered.


    The woman stood in the bathroom, her face wet with water droplets. She was no longer young, but the remnants of her youthful


    vigor were still visible.


    She gasped for air, her hands gripping the sink tightly, her body trembling.


    "Doctor, are you alright?"


    The woman looked up, her eyes meeting his.n felt that something had changed.


    Back in the central hall, chaos


    reigned as the released ALT 1S 00
