Night Butterfly - Part 8

Inside a hidden research institute in the outskirts of Washington, a group of individuals with diverse skin tones dressed in white isolation suits bustled around various complex and precise instruments.

Outside the glass wall, a bearded man in a well-fitted suit and tie with blue eyes and a prominent nose, could hardly contain his excitement as he said to the young woman in front of him, "If this operation goes smoothly, we will collect the strongest magical beings' primordial spirits in history all at once. With this, our research results are imminent. Miss Mo, you really deserve our gratitude this time. Without you, we wouldn't have been able to locate Moon City."

The woman, with most of her face hidden by a wide-brimmed hat and vibrant lipstick coating her beautiful lips, glanced briefly at the busy scene inside the glass wall and replied coldly, "No need to thank me. We're each taking what we need, that's all."

Walking along the path outside the research institute, the harsh sunlight bathed the woman's slender and graceful figure. Her pace was measured, and she wore a long off-white dress. She was like a piece of everlasting ice, refusing to be melted by any sunlight.

At the end of the path, she stood still and glanced back at the seemingly ordinary building, where those "scientists" who were obsessed with creating the most powerful bio-psionic weapons in history worked tirelessly day and night, neglecting their sleep and meals.

By the end of next month, the supernatural beings in Moon City would become a key step in their research project, contributing all their energy to psionic weapons. Moon City would turn into a true ghost town, just like it was after the plague a century ago. That was how it was supposed to be.

Jin Feiyu, not only you, not only those precious Soul-gathering Star Crystals, but also her, and all those low-class monsters, everything you desperately want to protect will ultimately be destroyed.

Mo sneered in her mind. This is the price you should pay, father.
