Chapter 236 Codename - Azure!
?
Mastisk had a lot of questions he wanted to ask, but Shin didn't give him a chance.
"I've fulfilled my end of the deal. Right?" Shin said with a cheeky grin.
Mastisk swallowed his words and nodded. "Yes, you completely surprised me, brat. I'll keep my promise."
With a slight smile on his face, Mastisk left the place. 'It seems humanity does have great potential.'
He went back to observe Celeste's work and point out her mistakes.
Shin didn't know about Mastisk's thoughts. Even if he knew, he wouldn't have cared. Just a while ago, he heard things about immortals and had some guesses about the types of enemies he would face in the future. Although currently, the other species are stronger than him. He will surpass them soon.

Now that his work here was done, Shin was ready to leave. But at this moment, Simon ran up to him.
"Shin!"
"Oh, hey bud, what's wrong?"
Shin noticed that Simon's expression was a bit hesitant. This made him curious.
"Did you meet Elena?"
"Not yet. Did something happen?"
Simon's body stiffened, then he shook his head and said with a serious expression, "I have something I want to talk about with you. Let's meet later."
His seriousness made Shin a bit thoughtful. But he nodded regardless.
"Yeah, sure. Message me when you are free."
Simon nodded and left.
Shin was left there standing. He couldn't figure out what was going on with Simon. 'I just hope he is not in some trouble.' With a sigh, Shin left the building.

When he came out, Shin saw a group of girls huddled together. Seemingly surrounding the two people in the middle.
Aurora was standing there, stunned, while Emily was answering everyone's questions.
This made him curious about what kind of talk they might be having. So even if he was some distance away, he used Enhanced Senses to listen in on their conversation.
But the first sentence he heard made him regret his actions.
"Miss Aurora, are you and Miss Emily, boss Shin's mistresses?" Someone asked.
"Hey, we are nothing like that." It was Emily's annoyed voice denying their accusations.
"How did Miss Alice agree to this?"
"I told you, there's nothing between us." Emily's protests were ignored as the girls' focus was on Aurora's expression. Looking at her, they knew there was something behind the scenes.
"Miss Aurora, did you and Miss Alice fight for boss Shin?" Another curious girl asked.
But this made the embarrassed Aurora stunned in surprise.
"How did you know?" She asked subconsciously.
Emily face-palmed. While a meaningful smile appeared on the girls' faces.
Listen to this. Shin was shocked. 'Just what kind of talk is this? And what's with Aurora? What's with that embarrassed look? Where is her cold and indifferent attitude?'
"Are you guys done?"
Hearing Shin's voice, everyone stopped talking and turned to look at him in unison.
The girls subconsciously opened a way for Aurora and Emily.
Looking at Shin, Aurora hid all her embarrassment with a plain expression. While Emily nodded with a sigh.
Shin walked over to Shu Ming and told her about Eddie as his mother. Then he asked her to arrange for their accommodation in the staff quarters.
Mastisk has already made their living quarters, so the girls have already moved in.
Understanding her task, Shu Ming got to work right away.
"Boss, rest assured. They won't have any trouble moving in."
The other girls also reassured.
"Where are we going next?" Emily asked, seeing that Shin was ready to move.
"Let's take you to meet the other members, too."
Shin just send a few messages on his phone. Then, picking up Emily and Aurora with his gravity, he flew in the direction of Elena's home.

Inside a large underground laboratory. Many white-coat researchers seemed busy moving around from one place to another, tinkering with the high-end machines.
A young researcher stood there holding a file and reading its contents to the middle-aged researcher, who had wrinkles on his face.
"This is the data from the experiment number F-765."
"State - Unconscious."
"Survival rate - 32%."
"Compatibility with the serum - 18%."
"Final result - Uncertain."
When the young researcher reported the experiment's result. The middle-aged researcher had a small frown on his face. He didn't show any emotions, such as anxiety or disappointment. He had already become numb to it after all these years of constant failures.
"Keep it under observation."
Those words came out of his mouth subconsciously. He doesn't remember how many times he had repeated this sentence over the past years. None of the experiments managed to survive for more than a week.
The middle-aged researcher turned his head to the right. There was a big transparent bulletproof glass and behind that glass was a large hall spread in an area of more than 1000 meters.
The whole space contained hundreds of twice the human-size containers filled with green liquid emitting green light.
If observed closely, each container had a humanoid figure surrounded by the green liquid. Children to adults. From humans to vampires and even some monsters.
They were all unconscious and being experimented upon.
A researcher stood in front of a container, taking notes. Inside the container, there was an unconscious teenage girl and several injections were connected to her arms.
The researcher had a constant plain expression on his face. Completely unaffected by the girl's miserable state. Seemingly, just doing his work. He didn't show any pity for the little girl. In his eyes, she was nothing but an experiment subject.
In her files, she had long lost her name and was only referred to as an experiment number.
[A - 006]
[Codename - Azure]
*Beep*
The researcher took out the communication device that was beeping and a sound came from the other side.
[Is the reading done?]
"Yes sir, everything is normal." The researcher replied.
[Come to the 16th lab. A new research subject is here.]
"On my way, sir."
With those words, the researcher took one last look at Azure and left hastily.
He didn't notice, but while he was leaving, the eyes of the unconscious girl inside the container fluttered.
...
Inside the laboratory, number 16.
Several white-coat researchers were looking at the black-suited buff men with anticipating expressions on their faces.
"Where are the new subjects?" One of the researchers asked. But he only received a glare in response.
The leader of the buff men named Hunk looked at the researchers contemptuously and beckoned his subordinates to bring the cages inside.
One by one, under the researchers' fanatical and crazy gazes, the buff men brought anesthetized monsters, which looked similar to deer.
"This is the first batch of Drill-horn Deers. There are 12 of these here. By tomorrow, the next batch will arrive."
To Hunk's words, the researchers nodded enthusiastically. They couldn't wait to start experimenting. Even if they are normal humans. When it came to experimenting with these dangerous monsters, they weren't the least bit afraid.
Hunk couldn't help but call them crazy in his heart. 'These people are insane.'
Shaking his head, he looked at the head of the researchers and said, "Mr. Garfield, the boss said. If there are no results within a month. You are going to bear the responsibility."
"If there's anything you require, mention it now. Otherwise, a month later, in case you fail, you will become an experiment subject next."
When Garfield heard this, he gulped audibly. Hunk's cold words made him fall from heaven to hell. But thinking that he still had one month, Garfield regained his composure and said.
"I would like to have a demon corpse from the Polaris City outbreak."
Hunk went silent and didn't reply immediately. After making a call on his phone, he said.
"It will be arranged."
With those words, Hunk left with his subordinates. Not intending to deal with these researchers anymore.
When they came out of the underground facility. Hunk's eyes glanced at the wall behind him for a moment, and there was an acronym written in big letters.
[S.M.U.P]
Also known as the Shaurya Military Underground Project. Which started six years ago by Shaurya Techno Inc Company. Calming to create a serum to benefit mankind.

On the other side, Shin and the vampire duo landed in front of Elena's house.
Shin went forward and rang the doorbell.
*Ding Dong*
Hearing the familiar doorbell sound, Shin's lips curled up faintly.
With his Enhanced Senses, he could easily hear the sound of someone approaching the door.
A moment later, the door swung open and in front of him appeared the beautiful face of Elena, which had lost some of its luster and her amethyst eyes, which were lifeless.
Shin's brows furrowed, looking at Elena's condition.
"Elena?"
When Elena saw Shin in front of her, she was stunned for a moment, then her lifeless eyes shone with brilliance.
"SHIN!!"
Elena exclaimed in surprise and in the moment of happiness she didn't care about anything and jumped up to hug him.
Shin was dumbfounded by her actions, and so were Aurora and Emily behind him. This turn of events was unexpected.
