Messing With Her? Are You Crazy! novel Chapter 1347

"Severia is willing to—"

They still wanted to bribe her. They still wanted to stall.

Unfortunately for them.

They were completely out of time.

Serena's finger lightly tapped her terminal.

The global broadcast screen shifted once again.

This time, it displayed a live security feed from a massive underground base buried beneath the technology center.

The entire venue went so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Because the footage showed a nightmare.

A sprawling, damp, and dimly lit subterranean facility.

Rows upon rows of eerie blue incubation pods designed for the Obsidian Augments.

Human Specimen variants floated suspended inside the tanks.

Some had mangled, twisted limbs.

Some had identification numbers branded across their chests.

Some even had their eyes wide open, appearing alive, yet entirely devoid of humanity.

Beside the tanks, test subjects were locked inside iron cages.

Men and women alike, their expressions completely vacant, their bodies hooked up to endless tangles of tubes and wires. They were being kept, observed, and experimented on like livestock.

The horrific scenes were completely unbearable to witness.

It was hell on earth.

Immediately after.

Even more damning evidence was thrust in front of the entire world.

The direct financial trails connecting the Severian government to the underground lab.

Security clearances granting the technology center full access to the experimental zones.

Classified executive orders.

Transport logistics approvals.

And endless trails proving the deep collusion between the tournament organizers and the Obsidian Sun.

Everything was laid completely bare on the global livestream.

The Severian high-ranking officials stared at the massive screen, their legs giving out as they collapsed to the floor.

Drained of all color, they sat there with their mouths hanging open, unable to string together a single coherent word.

It was over.

Everything was completely ruined!

The international delegates and experts could no longer contain their outrage.

"Live human experimentation?!"

Millions of enraged citizens flooded the streets, triggering an unprecedented wave of protests.

Severian tech stocks and all capital tied to the tournament suffered a catastrophic collapse in record time.

The Severian government.

In a single night, their reputation was utterly destroyed, reducing them to rats scurrying in the streets, despised by the entire world.

There was no suppressing this apocalyptic inferno of rage.

...

Around the time Serena had restored the broadcast in Cabin 10.

Deep beneath the technology center.

Thirty operatives from the Dragon-Thorn Squad, alongside the elite reinforcements dispatched from Elyndor.

Had used the blueprints provided by Nicholas, Serena, and Jerrick to silently infiltrate the Obsidian Sun's underground headquarters.

Breaching the final, heavy blast doors.

The battle-hardened special forces operatives stared at the scene before them and inhaled a collective, sharp breath.

It was a sprawling, massive, and entirely illegal experimental facility.
