Chapter 1
Nanyang.
In the vast ocean, a lone island was isolated from the world by seawater.
Underneath this seemingly ordinary island, there hid an inhumane underground laboratory unknown to others.
In the research room filled with drugs and high-tech equipment, the girl was missing on the narrow single bed, leaving only four bloodstained handcuffs hanging on the four corners of the bed, eerie and creepy.
"Blood Shadow is gone!"
The disappearance of the girl on the bed in the surveillance video plunged the staff in front of the screen into panic.
As soon as these words came out, the group of people in the control room changed their faces in shock, as if facing a formidable enemy, their eyes focused on the screen.
They quickly searched for the girl's whereabouts in the numerous small square surveillance screens, but there was no trace to be found.
The guards who had fallen unconsciously in the corridors made them extremely disturbed.
"Immediately activate the security system to search for Blood Shadow. She must not be allowed to escape, otherwise none of us will survive."
The system was turned on, and a huge blue projection appeared in midair. The dense data flashing back and forth was like a cast heavenly net.
"Quick, release the NT34 smoke. No matter the cost, take all feasible measures to catch her."
As soon as the order was given, spray devices appeared on the walls as solid as iron walls, releasing toxic gases.
Countless real guns and bullets wearing gas masks were moving carefully in the laboratory filled with toxic gases.
A series of bone cracking sounds of necks being twisted came from the smoke, making people's scalp tingle. Screams did not have time to come out.
Under the invisible smoke, piles of corpses accumulated.
"Immediately notify Dr. Sang to enter the protection zone."
"Zizi." The equipment suddenly made a few electric current sounds.
The next moment, all the equipment was damaged, the console was burned by the electric current, sparks flew up, the instruments gave off a unpleasant burnt smell, scaring people to retreat again and again, away from the console.
The monitoring screen was completely destroyed, and the entire laboratory lost the most basic monitoring and control, and alarms went off.
Everyone was shocked.
The emergency report from the communication device: "All doctors and researchers have been killed, Dr. Sang is missing."
"Dr. Sang must have died at Blood Shadow's hands already."
"Let's retreat. No one here is Blood Shadow's opponent. Most of the genes have been extracted successfully. Let's escape with the data."
"Let's decide quickly before Blood Shadow finds this place."
The control room was in chaos. The leader finally spoke: "Take all the data and evacuate immediately. Prepare to detonate. The top ordered that after the gene extraction was successful, Blood Shadow cannot be kept."
Just then, there was a loud "bang", and the metal door of the control room was forcibly blasted open.
The entire laboratory shook with it. The explosive sound temporarily deafened everyone. The raging flames mixed with metal fragments scared them to crouch down and take cover.
The door had become ruins.
But from the ruins, a haggard figure stepped over the blood.
With an aura of destroying the heavens and annihilating the earth.
As the thick smoke dispersed, everyone saw the person coming, as if seeing an asura, and as if seeing death itself.
"B-Blood Shadow."
The girl slowly raised her face, and looked at the group of people in the control room who were too scared to move with bloodthirsty eyes.
Her long hair was loose and her gaze was as cold as a blade. With blood stains covering her peerless face, she now looked like a vengeful ghost taking lives.
This girl was the Blood Shadow they talked about with utter dread.
A top assassin who dominated the killer world, making all assassins impossible to catch up to her and avoid her, striking fear into the hearts of high officials at the mere mention of her name.
The girl lightly raised her arm and threw away what she was holding as if throwing away trash.
When everyone saw what was rolling on the ground, their legs went soft in fright--it turned out to be Dr. Sang's head!
It was chopped off alive. Wherever the head rolled, the blood would follow and flow there. The two horrified wide-open eyes on the head had no time to close, remaining open and staring at them. This scene brought them a suffocating feeling.
The leader came to his senses, took out a black detonator with trembling hands, and threatened: "...Blood Shadow, your brain has been implanted with a chip by us. As long as I detonate, you will be reduced to ashes within 30 seconds. You'd better not act rashly."
The girl's icy voice slowly sounded: "Thirty seconds is enough to kill you guys."
"We were just following orders. It was Dark Shadow who told us to do this. Blame the right people." Seeing that Blood Shadow was fearless, everyone pleaded for mercy at once: "Spare us."
Dark Shadow?
The girl chuckled grimly, and the hatred-filled bloodthirsty eyes also flowed a trace of mockery.
Dark Shadow, the largest and most overbearing killer organization in the world, used inhuman training methods to cultivate one ruthless assassin after another.
And she, Blood Shadow, was one of them.
Unlike others, she was the only one who was brought back to the organization as an infant, becoming the youngest yet most talented trainee in the entire killer organization.
After thirteen years of perverted training, she started taking on one extreme mission after another since the age of fourteen.
At the age of seventeen, she successfully took the No. 1 spot on the world assassin leaderboard with the title of "Blood Shadow", and no one had shaken her position since.
In the six years of her debut as a reckless assassin, she set one unbreakable record after another, and possessed countless formidable identities, becoming the legendary invincible myth of the entire Dark Shadow organization and even the assassin world.
Even those retired old men in the organization were no match for her, but her terrifying growth rate still aroused the organization's jealousy.
Because her powerfulness made the organization wary of her, bringing her own demise.
The organization wanted to extract her genes to clone another or even countless Blood Shadows, to replace her and serve the organization.
She did not come here under duress, but voluntarily. Only because she was grateful for the organization's years of nurturing, she was willing to provide some of her genes to strengthen the organization.
But she did not expect that they would try to extract all of her genes, completely cloning an identical her, and crossing the river to demolish the bridge by wanting to kill her to eliminate future troubles.
Blood Shadow could not help shaking her head inwardly.
Although she was powerful enough to have the strength to build her own power long ago, and she had no lack of money, power and connections, she never had ulterior motives against the organization.
She did not expect that her own terrible growth rate still gave birth to ideas in the organization, wanting to use her and then kill her like this.
Thinking of this, Blood Shadow was self-deprecating.
Since childhood, the organization had warned her not to have feelings. She did not expect that compassion would finally move her when it came to her own people, and it would be inflicted by her own people.
She could not help sighing: the most ruthless use of cold-bloodedness was still the people in the organization!
During the moment Blood Shadow was distracted, the leader saw a chance and secretly pressed the detonator, then retreated.
The girl noticed his actions with one look, and directly made the leader lose his footing in fright.
The girl did not move, but under the horrified eyes of everyone present, she also took out a detonator.
"Are you familiar with this detonator? Dr. Sang told me that you buried 100 pounds of TNT in the laboratory."
"Let's go to hell together."
The girl's voice was cold and indifferent.
Under the frightened eyes, she pressed the detonator.
The leader only regretted not detonating and blowing her up in the first place, and was obsessed with the illusion that he could capture her and continue to extract all her genes.
With a loud bang, the fire soared into the sky, and the sinful island with its lifelong glory sank to the bottom of the sea, taking with it the girl who was only in the spring of her life.
