Norman's pupils instantly contracted into pinpricks. "What did you say?"
Alice ignored his rage and took a step forward.
Yes, not only did she not retreat, but she seized the initiative of the conversation through this body language.
"Elevated body temperature, sluggish pupillary response to light, jugular venous distension, uncontrollable muscle spasms, and the accompanying violent impulses. It seems not only is your skin keratinizing, but even your frontal lobes are beginning to fibrose."
Alice pointed at Norman's still-trembling fingers and looked directly into Norman's eyes, as if seeing through his retinas to the green monster screaming in his mind.
"A human enhancement formula, or rather, a variant of the super soldier serum. You performed human experiments on yourself to secure Military orders, didn't you?"
"Unfortunately, you gained power, but the price is that thing eating your sanity. The voice you hear now—is it yours, or its?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the air in the study seemed to freeze.
She knew!
She actually knew everything!
The shock in Norman's heart was like a stormy sea.
The human enhancement agent experiment was the Osborn Group's highest secret. Aside from the Doctor who died, no one knew he had injected the serum.
Even Harry didn't know. How did she know?
Could she have inferred it simply by observing my external symptoms?
Looking at this petite girl before him, Norman suddenly felt an inexplicable chill.
If she were an ordinary high school student, facing a situation where she could be silenced at any moment, she should be afraid, shaking, and begging for mercy.
But she wasn't.
She was even provoking me.
She dared to provoke me again and again?
"You are very clever—so clever it almost makes one want to destroy you."
Norman slowly stood up, his expression shifting from anger to shock, and finally into a hair-raising coldness.
Suddenly, he let out an inhuman roar, and the expensive carpet beneath his feet instantly burst apart.
Supporting himself with one hand on the large mahogany desk, his entire body launched like a cannonball, leaping across a distance of three meters. That large hand, capable of crushing a skull, clawed fiercely toward Alice's throat with a whistling wind.
The speed was astonishing.
Is this the power of the serum?
However.
At the very instant his fingers were about to touch Alice's slender neck.
"System, switch character card—Kato Megumi."
Buzz.
In Norman's enhanced dynamic vision, the living person before him suddenly vanished without any warning.
It wasn't optical invisibility, but rather the brain instantly losing its lock on the target.
Norman grabbed thin air.
His massive momentum sent him crashing into the bookshelf behind Alice.
The solid wood bookshelf was smashed to pieces, and countless hardcover books fell like rain.
"Where did you go? Come out!"
Norman turned around angrily, his eerie green eyes scanning frantically, but all he saw was air.
"Over here."
A cold voice sounded behind his ear.
A slender hand, yet hard as iron, had already pressed against the back of Norman's head.
Before Norman could even react.
Bang!
Using her forward momentum, Alice pressed Norman's head with one hand and slammed him fiercely into the wall!
Wall dust flew as a shallow crater was smashed directly into the hard surface.
Norman screamed, instinctively swinging a punch to counterattack.
But he only hit air.
Alice had already ducked to avoid it, simultaneously delivering a heavy leg sweep that precisely kicked the lateral ligament of Norman's knee.
Crack!
That was the sound of a bone dislocating.
Norman's massive frame lost its balance and toppled to the side.
But this was only the beginning.
Alice didn't give him any chance to breathe.
She was like a precision killing machine, her movements so fast they were mere afterimages.
"The first strike is for Harry."
Alice leapt up, delivering a mid-air knee strike that slammed hard against Norman's chin.
Bang!
Norman was sent flying upward, his teeth biting his tongue and leaving his mouth full of blood.
"The second strike is for your terrible aesthetic."
Before he could land, Alice delivered a spinning kick in the air, her heel smashing into Norman's chest like a sledgehammer.
Boom!
Norman flew back like a ragdoll, crashing heavily onto that large mahogany desk.
The desk, worth tens of thousands of dollars, instantly snapped in half, wood chips flying everywhere.
"This is your so-called evolution?"
Alice walked over step by step, her leather boots crunching on the broken glass.
"I'm going to... tear you apart."
Norman roared as he crawled up, the green light in his eyes not receding but becoming even more crazed. He grabbed a heavy armchair and threw it like a pillow toward the chandelier.
Bang!
Crystal fragments sprayed out.
But Alice was no longer there.
She once again utilized Kato Megumi's ability to cut off Norman's perception, weaving through the flying debris like a bolt of black lightning.
When she reappeared, she was already pressed against Norman's chest.
Too close.
Too close for Norman to exert any force.
Alice locked onto one of Norman's arms with both hands, used her waist to generate power, and utilized the Ackerman clan's fighting techniques to redirect his momentum.
Shoulder throw!
This Beast, weighing nearly two hundred pounds, was slammed hard onto the floor by a fifteen-year-old girl.
The expensive carpet kicked up a cloud of dust, and the floorboards let out an overtaxed cracking sound.
"Not awake yet?"
