Chapter 516

Then, she would slide straight down toward the other end along the corridor that had turned into a slope.

This happened in an instant, with no time to make an effective response.

0..........

Before she could regain her balance, she suddenly felt something wrap around her wrists and forearms, preventing her from falling.

Xia Luote turned her head and saw that it was the flesh tentacles extending from Lucretia's arms.

—Lucretia was standing on the edge of the corridor slope; one step forward would be an abyss.

Her legs had broken through the material of her jumpsuit, and her appendages were clamped firmly onto the floor like pliers.

At this moment, Lucretia was full of an inhuman aura, no different from those dangerous anomalies.

And such a scene was terrifying and weird enough to be the source of nightmares for many people.

But Xia Luote held firmly onto those flesh tentacles, pulling herself away from the slope, even though they were rough and damp.

The touch of the flesh tentacles was, but Xia Luote could grab them and pull herself up the slope.

On the other end, Lucretia clearly spent a lot of effort to fix herself to the floor.

She was trembling all over, her face covered in sweat.

Suddenly.

The floor returned to its original place.

All previous efforts were in vain.

Xia Luote was falling from mid-air.

She closed her eyes, trying to cross her arms in front of her face to protect herself from the fall.

When she hit the ground, she felt like she had bumped into something much softer than the ground.

Xia Luote bounced off Lucretia's body and rushed toward the ground again, but the tentacles gently held her, preventing her from being bounced away again.

The two lay on the floor for a long time; Lucretia was drenched in sweat, and Xia Luote's arms and back were covered in bruises.

A moment later, they laughed heartily for surviving the ordeal.

"Lucy, you can let me up now."

"Sorry."

"You just saved my life, so no need to apologize."

Xia Luote stood there and saw the cell door that Lucretia had smashed.

"What happened?"

"I was a little... depressed."

"It's okay, I think we can classify it as a 'Dangerous Anomalous Event' and muddle through."

Xia Luote reached out and placed her hand on Lucretia's shoulder:

"Thank you."

Lucretia shrugged: "Just didn't want you to die like that."

"Indeed. Today is really annoying, right?"

Before Lucretia could answer, Xia Luote's communicator started beeping loudly.

Xia Luote pressed the call: "This is Xia Luote."

Sophia's voice came from the speaker:

"Agent, I'm glad you're okay. I see you found POI-240——"

Lucretia interrupted her:

"I'm right here."

Sophia's voice paused, and she continued:

"Sorry, Ms. Popescu."

"Agent, could you please call 1360 and Ms. Popescu to my office?"

Lucretia snorted:

"I thought you people didn't like 'dirty Sarkic cultists'."

Xia Luote said with a smile:

"Indeed. However, Dr. Clef cannot decide who I recruit for Alpha-9, so his opinion is even more useless than usual."

Lucretia laughed, looking at Xia Luote, and Xia Luote shrugged.

Subsequently, Lucretia walked toward 1360's containment cell first, but after a few steps, she found Xia Luote still standing there:

"Let's go. Do you want me to save you again?"

Xia Luote smiled and took small steps to catch up. ===== CHAPTER 518 =====
