Chapter 129 - 129: Doctor Rao's Intentions
"Everyone! Prepare to intercept!" Jennor yelled out loud. "Some unknown people are approaching! Possibly the enemy!"
His voice was so loud that it reached every member who was outside the facility, all because of his abilities which gave him an ultrasonic voice loud enough to achieve this feat.
As per his warning, everyone was alerted. They proceeded to their respective guard posts, getting ready to defend if the enemies launched an attack.
"I'll go and inform the two captains!" a beta squad member told everyone before he dashed inside the facility.
Since the whole facility was jammed only recently, they couldn't call or communicate with the people inside through communication devices. They had to go and inform everyone themselves.
"Your voice is an asset! Warn them and get them down. Tell them that if they don't get down and identify themselves, we will blow them up without any questions asked!" The Vice-Captain of Beta Squad said to Jennor.
Jennor nodded as he stared at the four incoming helicopters.
He took a deep breath before he opened his mouth and used his Ultrasonic Voice to relay a message to those unknown people who were approaching them.
"This is a message and a warning for the four incoming helicopters! Please get down and identify yourself! If you don't go down within five seconds, we will attack! This is a final warning!"
His voice seemed so loud that it echoed everywhere. His voice even somehow managed to pass through the open building, resonating inside the facility where Xander and Ayn were sitting.
"Hmm? This seems like the work of Jennor. He is warning someone. I guess the guests are here," Xander said as he stood up and glanced towards the door.
"Let's check," Ayn added, not wasting any more time as she followed Xander.
But even before Ayn reached the door, she turned back to look at the two Doctors, commanding them, "You two, stay inside. You're not allowed to leave and go anywhere or else, you might suffer. We'll be right back."
The two doctors just bobbed their heads absentmindedly, still shocked from the revelation they found out today.
Getting their response, Ayn and Xander stepped out of the office and walked towards the exit gate of the facility.
Doctor Rao and Doctor Layman were left behind, lost in thoughts.
"It's fascinating to know that the kid is actually alive. Pretty amazing indeed. I guess we were pretty hasty in testing and experimenting on him. We should have waited for a bit more," Doctor Rao said as his fingers tapped the table which laid before him.
"Fascinating? How could you say that??! It's not fascinating for me at all, instead, it's scary! If the news about him being alive is true, then the rumor about him killing APF members is also true," Doctor Layman corrected Doctor Rao. Concern was evident on his face as he was worried about his life.
"If he can even do that then he's pretty strong. It's scary because he might come after us and take his revenge!" he further said. "If that kid is actually here, then our lives really might be in danger!"
"You worry needlessly. Even though the APF really messed up my plans by finding out about this facility and leaking the information, they're still pretty useful. Two whole teams of them are here. There's no way that Lucifer can harm us in their presence even if he is here," Doctor Rao lazily replied.
"On the contrary, it's better if Lucifer comes here," he said.
"Why?" Doctor Layman asked. "Why is it better for him to come here?"
Doctor Rao looked at Doctor Layman before he sighed. "Sometimes you can be really dense, Layman."
He took a pause, shaking his head while clicking his tongue as if he was a little bit disappointed by Doctor Layman's slow thinking.
"Just see it as a bigger picture and you'll understand," he said. "If Lucifer comes here, he will be facing the APF. Since he can't be killed, he will be caught and imprisoned."
"What of that?" Doctor Layman asked, still not understanding. "How does that benefit us?"
"God, you're really slow," Doctor Rao said as he rolled his eyes.
"He is a perfect specimen for testing and human evolution. If he is imprisoned, we can have another opportunity to do an experiment on him. When we are free, we can use the government to ask APF to hand Lucifer over for testing. Just thinking about testing on this guy is making me drool. The discoveries would be so amazing," he further said with his dreamy eyes.
He was already imagining the success of his experiment if ever Lucifer would become his test subject once again. He would create another breakthrough in the world of Science.
"That's true indeed," Doctor Layman said. "But I don't know why, I still have a bad feeling about this."
'I feel like we're playing a really risky game here. If something goes wrong, we'll be dead. I wonder if Doctor Min was right to leave on time.' He thought, not expressing openly.
...
Meanwhile, Xander and Ayn were running in the corridor, trying to get out of the facility as fast as they could.
They came to a halt when they saw one of their team members.
"Captain! I found you!" Breathing heavily, the beta team member said to Ayn.
"Tell me what's happening outside?"
Ayn and Xander stopped running but they continued walking.
"Four unknown helicopters are approaching us! We believe they might belong to the enemy but we aren't sure. That's why we're warning them to get down first," the man told Ayn.
Ayn and Xander exchanged meaningful glances upon hearing that. They already considered the possibility that their enemies finally made an appearance.
To be sure, they moved quickly to confirm their suspicion. There was only one way to find out. They should see them face to face.
...
Outside the facility, a stern warning was given to the newcomers. It was to either get down and identify themselves or have the risk of being blown up.
Not only Dion, Isona, and Vega but Lucifer and Caen also heard the warning even though they were in the last helicopter, far behind the other three.
Hearing the threat, Lucifer stood up and started walking towards the door to get in on the action. Since these helicopters were going to be attacked, it was better to attack in advance.
As he saw Lucifer stand up, Caen also stood up.
"Wait, you don't need to do anything. Just sit and enjoy for now. Leave the rest to us."
