BIOLOGICAL SUPERCOMPUTER SYSTEM

Then they arrived in front of a building. The same building where Erik found the humanoid beast that almost killed him, and that later he went to subjugate with Samuel and the others.

This was also the place where he found some disturbing information about the human experiments that were conducted here by the Silver Line Corporation.

Erik hadn't been able to find information about this mysterious organization, or company, or whatever it was.

Whomever they may have been, their existence has been erased from historical records. He didn't know, though, if that was exactly what these guys wanted.

Regardless, whoever they were, it was clear they knew about thaids much more than the average person of their time, and based on the experiments they did, those who resulted in creating that abomination, he suspected their role in the story was more important than it appeared.

But these were all speculations for now, and there was no way for him to find out the truth.

Ethan led Erik and the clones into the building. The place had been cleaned and restored.

There wasn't a single room that hadn't been used. The place was used as a warehouse, but most of the rooms had offices.

Erik wondered what they had to write about as to require these many spaces to be used as offices.

Some even hugged him, and often they stopped to talk. Though there wasn't a single trace of the people from Erik's guild.

Erik inquired about it with Ethan, and he told Erik they had been busy with some vast projects on the other side of the cave.

Besides, they were currently busy with killing all the Thaids in the cave's many tunnels.

The Acidspitter arthropods were just some of the ones they eradicated.

"They even found the corpse of a gigantic worm-like thaid in one of the tunnels. When I went there, I almost crapped myself."

"Gigantic worm?"

"Yeah, it was at least 100 meters long and 15 meters tall. You know, the stuff of nightmares."

"If it was that big, it must have been really powerful when alive. I wonder how could have such a Thaid escaped humans for so long, unless they couldn't hunt it and just abandoned the idea of killing it."

Erik knew well that the bigger the Thaid, the stronger they were.

A beast like this must have been a calamity, but why it hadn't destroyed the city, and why it died, were a mystery.

"Bring me there when you have some time. I want to take a look at this titan."

Ethan Nodded, but their conversation was cut short when they arrived in front of a door.

He had been there before, so he recognized the place where he found the map of the city.

The door had been replaced with one made of Aclaitrium, so it released a light of its own and illuminated its surroundings.

Then Ethan pushed it, and they entered. There, Erik saw familiar faces.

Amos was looking at some documents and turned to look at Erik with weirdly watered eyes.

Vanessa was there. Despite wearing the same impassive expression, it was clear she was happy upon seeing the savior of their village.

Then Erik's eyes turned to the left. There, he saw a gigantic old man running toward him.

"Samuel!"

The older man raised Erik as if he was a toddler, and then gave him a hug that could rival that of a boa constrictor.

"Erik!" the old man said. "How are you?"

"That's what I should ask you, old geezer!"

"AHAHAHAHAHA I see that your past year made you bolder! Should I teach you a lesson?" he said with a wide grin.

"I would pin you to the ground with my left hand!" lll new stries at novelbi/(.)cm

"Ah, it also made you stupid!"

Both started laughing out loud. Samuel had almost been a fatherly figure for Erik during his stay at Liberty Watch's village. Novel Fire - novelfire.net

He was the man he trusted above all others, and the one who made the greatest effort to make him feel at home.

He proved to be a sincere friend, regardless of the age gap between them.

"I know you are happy to see each other, but there is something we have to talk with Erik," Amos said, breaking the reunion.

"Erik, I'm glad to see you," he said while Samuel put him on the ground. "Me too, Amos. How have you been?"

"You know that. Once you left, we still had many things to do. I didn't rest for even a second."

"Glad to know you have been well."

Amos gave Erik a look, but then resumed his speech.

"Erik, you must tell us what the hell is happening. Who are those people? They told they were your people, but they are acting arrogantly. They behave as if they own the place, especially that Noah."

"Sorry, Amos. It looks like during my absence, Noah had to shoulder a lot. I imagine that what he did appeared overbearing at times, but he did what he did with the best intentions. You have to believe me about this."

"I know that. We were the ones who benefited the most from their presence, but based on what they told us, we are putting ourselves in a lot of danger. We need a clear picture of the situation and I bet Noah didn't tell us everything, that's why—"

"That's why you called me here without telling Noah, right?" Erik didn't see his clone around. It meant they didn't tell him he was here.

"Indeed."

Erik knew that if Noah and the rest knew he was in the city, they would have organized some kind of celebration or similar event. Noah idolized Erik to an almost fanatical extent.

"I know little myself. Only that I'm being chased by some guys everyone thought to be the good ones."

"Do you have an idea why?"

"Yes." Then a colossal blue wolfish Thaid, a Leylarhad, appeared behind Erik.

"That's the reason," he said, with the others inside the room looking shocked and scared. This time, Ethan really crapped himself.
