When Wu Liangchen returned to the Hive Apartment, Old K was still seated behind a pile of complex instruments, with only a few faintly glowing metal tentacles tapping lightly on the control console.
"You're back." Old K's electronic voice betrayed no emotion, as if Wu Liangchen had merely gone out for a walk.
Wu Liangchen tossed the cold storage chip over to him.
One of Old K's metal probes deftly caught the chip and inserted it into the main console. A torrent of data immediately flooded the screen before him.
"Not bad." Old K was clearly satisfied. He glanced back at Wu Liangchen.
"Find anything?"
Wu Liangchen fell silent for a moment before recounting everything he had seen and heard at the research institute, especially the tragic woman at the end.
Old K wasn't the least bit surprised. "Dome Corporation has never had a bottom line. That woman was just one of many failed experiments. By destroying that place, you've put her out of her misery."
Wu Liangchen said nothing.
