…
Although a lot of things happened that night, in fact, when Shen Ye and his team arrived near the Shinra Building, only a few hours had passed since the Pillar Defense Battle, so it was still early in the morning.
Due to the assassination of Shinra's president by Sephiroth and the appointment of a new president, the security level of the Shinra Building has been raised by several levels. The number of patrols near the building has also increased several times, making it very difficult to sneak in safely.
However, Shen Ye and the other two came here to rescue people, and the person they rescued was Aerith's mother who was taken away by Hojo.
So Shen Ye had no plan to sneak in, but instead stepped on the accelerator to the bottom and drove the truck towards the gate of the Shinra Building.
Seeing the truck rushing towards the gate of the building at high speed, the patrolling soldiers didn't waste any time and started shooting with their guns. However, as Aerith chanted a spell, a magic circle appeared above the truck, and an invisible protective shield was attached around the truck. The bullets hit the protective shield and were all bounced back, scaring the Shinra soldiers into stopping shooting.
Seeing that the bullets had no effect, the patrolling Shinra soldiers could only watch as the truck rushed up the steps, smashed the glass of the gate, and rushed into the first floor lobby of the building.
There were also many Shinra soldiers in the lobby on the first floor. They had noticed the movement outside a long time ago. When they saw the truck rushing in, they raised their guns and fired, but they were also hit by the ricocheting bullets and fled for safety. At the same time, the receptionist at the front desk of the lobby was frightened and screamed, making the scene even more chaotic.
None of the people in the car got off, so the truck continued to rush around in the hall... Shen Ye was waiting for the opportunity to get off.
Just at this moment, an elevator went down to the first floor. Seeing this, Shen Ye stepped on the accelerator and rushed over, scaring the Shinra soldiers along the way to flee in panic.
When the truck was about to hit the elevator door, Shen Ye suddenly turned the steering wheel, and the truck drifted and stopped at the elevator door. At this time, the elevator door had just opened, and the Shinra employees inside were all stunned when they saw the truck blocking the door. They had never seen such a scene before.
Shen Ye jumped out of the car, raised his pistol and fired two shots into the air, then shouted viciously: "Get out, or I'll kill you all."
The Shinra employees in the elevator were not combatants. Frightened by his behavior, they immediately crawled out of the elevator. But as soon as they ran out of the range of the magic circle, they were riddled with bullets from Shinra soldiers.
"Sorry, this has nothing to do with me, don't blame me."
After looking at the bodies of the Shinra employees, Shen Ye muttered something and pressed the elevator door closing button.
The moment the elevator door closed, Aerith removed the magic circle. Seeing the magic circle disappear, the Shinra soldiers raised their guns and started shooting again. The bullets hit the elevator door, making clanging sounds.
There was an area distribution map of the entire Shinra Building in the elevator, and each department was clearly marked, so Shen Ye directly pressed the button to go to the research laboratory on the 66th floor.
It was Hojo who caught Elmyra, and he could only be there.
…
The sudden attack by Shen Ye and his two companions made the already nervous Shinra executives even more nervous. After hearing the report from their subordinates that the attackers had taken the elevator upstairs, Rufus, who had just succeeded to the throne, had no time to rest or celebrate, but actually led his men into battle himself and took another elevator to the 66th floor.
At the same time, he asked the head of the Turks who was following him: "Tseng, have you figured out who the attacker is?"
"I figured it out." There are surveillance cameras in all the elevators in the building. Tseng received the photo and said, "Do you remember the ancient species we monitored?"
"She? Who else?" Although Rufus had little power as the vice president, he knew everything he should know. He was naturally aware that a woman would not make such a big fuss.
"There's also her boyfriend and her boyfriend's other girlfriend. It should be like this. It's quite complicated." Tseng felt a little depressed when he said this.
"Aerith's boyfriend's other girlfriend? It does sound a bit complicated, but why did they come here? We didn't seem to provoke them, did we?" Rufus didn't know what Hojo had done. After sighing that the relationship was really complicated, he asked Tseng curiously.
Tseng shook his head: "I'm not sure either, but they want to go to the 66th floor. This must be Hojo's fault."
The sixty-sixth floor is the research laboratory of the Shinra Building. It is not only the place where Shinra special warriors are manufactured, but also the place where Hojo studies Jenova.
"That disgusting guy has never done anything good." Rufus had no good feelings towards Hojo. His governance philosophy was completely different from his father's, so his father took back his power and did not allow him to participate in the management of Shinra.
Seeing Rufus' disgusted expression, Tseng sighed and said, "Although that guy is disgusting, he is an old employee after all. If we don't save him, the other senior executives might..."
He didn't continue, but Rufus understood what he meant, and then silently took out a shotgun and examined it carefully.
…
Sixty-sixth floor, research laboratory.
Hojo drank a sip of tea slowly before looking at Elmyra who was tied up again. After hearing that Hojo wanted to use her to lure her daughter to rescue her, this woman tried every means to commit suicide, but was discovered in advance by Hojo's men and ultimately failed.
"Do you think that if you die, your daughter won't come?" Hojo put down the teacup and sneered, "Even if you become a corpse, I believe your daughter will be willing to exchange herself for you."
"Wuwuwu…"
Elmyra's mouth was blocked and she couldn't say anything. At this moment, she wished her eyes were as sharp as a knife so that she could cut the hateful guy in front of her into pieces.
"Ah! What a familiar look, resentment, hatred, hatred, just like Ifalna." Hojo didn't care about Elmyra's eyes, but laughed crazily: "But it's a pity that you are not Ifalna, you are almost worthless except for resentment towards me, oh, no, you can also let Aerith come over.
To you, do you know? Ifarna is Aerith's biological mother, but do you know her ending? I dissected her and studied every part of her body, not only her hair, flesh, bones, but also her cells... The ancient species is really a wonderful creature, which makes people like it madly. It's a pity that Aerith is the last ancient species in the world, otherwise, I would like to experience it again.
