Resurrecting the Genius Within

Chapter 1 Die Together

Brookhaven.

A solitary island, isolated from the world by the vast ocean.

A secret and inhumane underground laboratory lay hidden beneath this seemingly ordinary island.

In the research room filled with potions and high-tech equipment, the girl was no longer on the narrow single bed. Only four bloody handcuffs remained, hanging at the four corners of the bed.

"Blood Shadow is missing!"

The disappearance of the girl from the bed in the surveillance footage made the operator in front of the screen panic.

Upon hearing this, the expressions of everyone in the control room changed dramatically. Their eyes were all focused on the screen, the numerous small squares of surveillance footage of the girl, as if facing a formidable enemy.

They quickly searched for the girl's trace in the numerous small squares of surveillance footage but found no sign.

The guards, who had fallen in the corridor at some unknown time, threw them into chaos.

"Activate the security system to search for Blood Shadow immediately. We can't let her escape, or none of us will survive."

The system was activated. A vast blue projection filled with dense data appeared mid-air, resembling a sprawling net when it flickered.

"Quick, release the NT34 smoke. Use any feasible methods to capture her, regardless of the cost!"

Upon receiving the order, numerous spray devices appeared on the solid walls, releasing poisonous gas.

Numerous armed men in black with gas masks moved cautiously through the laboratory filled with poisonous gas.

The sound of necks being twisted and bones breaking echoed in the smoke, sending shivers down their spines. The screams were abruptly silenced.

Under the invisible smoke, bodies piled up.

"Notify Professor Luke and his team to enter the safe zone immediately."

"Zzz... " The equipment suddenly emitted several electric currents.

The next moment, all the equipment was destroyed. The electric current burned the operation table, sparking a burst of sparks, and the equipment emitted a burnt smell, causing everyone to retreat and stay away from the operation table.

The surveillance footage was completely destroyed. The entire laboratory lost its essential surveillance control, and the alarm sounded.

Everyone was horrified.

The communication device transmitted an urgent report. "All professors and researchers have been killed, and Professor Luke is missing."

"Blood Shadow must have killed Professor Luke!"

"Let's retreat. No one here can match Blood Shadow. Most of the genes have been successfully extracted. We have to take the data and run!"

"Let's make a decision quickly before Blood Shadow finds out!"

The control room was in chaos. The leader finally spoke, "Take all the data and evacuate immediately. Prepare to detonate. The higher-ups have ordered that once the gene extraction is successful. Blood Shadow must be killed."

Just then, with a "boom," the metal door of the control room was blasted open.

The entire laboratory shook, and the explosion temporarily deafened everyone. The flames mixed with metal fragments frightened them, causing them to duck and cover.

The door was in ruins.

From the ruins, a thin figure stepped forward, covered in blood, with a momentum that could destroy the world.

Everyone saw the newcomer when the smoke cleared as if they were witnessing a demon or death.

"She's Bl ... Blood Shadow."

The girl slowly raised her face. Her bloodthirsty eyes stared at the people in the control room who were scared to move.

Her long hair spread out, her gaze was as cold as a knife, and her stunning face covered in blood resembled a ghost of death.

That girl was the Blood Shadow they talked about.

A killer who dominated the world of assassins, making all other killers avoid her and causing high-ranking officials to tremble with fear.

She raised her arm slightly and discarded the object in her hand like trash.

When everyone saw what was rolling on the ground, their legs went so weak that it was Professor Luke's head.

It had been severed and rolled to the ground, with blood trailing wherever it went. The two wide-open eyes on the head didn't have time to close and stared at them. This scene gave everyone a suffocating feeling.

The leader regained his senses, trembling as he took out a black detonator and threatened, "Bl ... Blood Shadow, we have implanted a chip in your brain. As long as I detonate it, you will turn to ashes in thirty seconds. You'd better not act rashly."

The girl's cold voice slowly sounded, "Thirty seconds is enough to kill all of you."

"We are just following orders. It's Dark Shadow who wanted us to do this. Every debt has its debtor. Please let us go." Everyone immediately begged for mercy when they saw that Blood Shadow was not afraid.

Dark Shadow?

She laughed loudly, and a hint of mockery flowed in her bloodthirsty eyes, filled with hatred.

Dark Shadow, the largest and most potent assassin organisation in the world, cultivated one desperate killer after another through its brutal training methods.

And she, Blood Shadow, was one of them.

Unlike others, she was the only one Dark Shadow took when she was still an infant. She became the youngest yet most talented trainee in the entire Assassin organisation.

After thirteen years of abnormal training, she began undertaking one extreme mission after another when she was fourteen.

At seventeen, she secured the top spot on the world's assassin list under the "Blood Shadow" codename, a position no one could challenge.NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.

In her six-year career as a top killer, she set one unbreakable record after another and held countless formidable identities. She became a legendary myth in the Dark Shadow and the Assassin world with zero defeats.

Even the retired men from the organisation were no match for her. Her talent was envied by others.

Because of her strength, the organisation began to fear her and wanted her death.

The organisation wanted to extract her genes to clone another, or even countless Blood Shadows, to replace her and serve the organisation.

She was not forced to come here, but voluntarily.

Out of gratitude for the organisation's years of nurturing, she was willing to provide part of her genes to strengthen the organisation.

But she didn't expect them to extract all her genes, clone an exact copy of her, and then kill her to eliminate any future trouble.

Blood Shadow couldn't help but shake her head.

Although she was strong enough to stand independently and lacked neither wealth nor power, she had never been disloyal to the organisation.

She didn't expect her terrifying growth rate would give the organisation ideas to use and kill her.

Blood Shadow laughed at herself when she thought about it.

The organisation had warned her not to have feelings since childhood. But in the end, her compassion was directed at her own people, and they hurt her.

She couldn't help but sigh, "Those who take cold-blooded ruthlessness to the extreme are still the people in the organisation."

Blood Shadow was momentarily distracted. The leader saw his chance and quietly pressed the detonator in his hand. Then he retreated.

Blood Shadow noticed his movement. With one look, she scared the leader into a panic.

She didn't move, but she also took out a detonator under the horrified gazes of everyone.

"Do you recognise this detonator? Professor Luke told me you buried a hundred pounds of TNT in the laboratory."

"Let's go to hell together."

Her voice sent shivers down their spines as it was filled with an icy coldness.

Under the horrified eyes of everyone, she pressed the detonator.

The leader now regretted not immediately eliminating her, foolishly hoping to capture her and continue extracting all her genetic material.

With a resounding explosion, flames soared into the sky, and the wicked island sank to the ocean floor, taking with it the girl who had achieved countless triumphs in her life.
