Into The Portal: Monster Invasion

Chapter 205: Autopsy

Miles and others arrived at Cross mansion in no time at all. When they were walking to the lab, the soldier tasked to bring the body had just arrived at Cross Mansion as well. Although Miles and Merlin were at one end of the nation, Adam picked them up with a jet plane while the soldier took a regular shuttle. So they almost reached at the same time.

Where is the body? Merlin asked as soon as they saw the soldier.

Sir, we just brought the body and it is in the lab. Maam has started to work on it already. The soldier reported dutifully and left.

Lets go. Adams eyes were beaming with excitement. Three of them walked to the lab in the basement. At the entrance of the lab, Kenway was waiting with his sword on his lap. He was seated on the ground, his eyes closed.

Welcome, Master Adam, Merlin, and Miles. You may enter, but please remove any electronic device on you. Kenway opened his eyes slowly. An aura pierced through threes body before it vanished.

Adams eyes flashed for a second but in the end, he removed his wristwatch and placed it on the table. Merlin and Miles had their wrist watches cleaned from the backdoor, but out of respect to Adam, they too removed their wristwatches and walked into the room. Miles had the alien's AI Necklace in his bag, so he casually removed his bag and placed it on the table as well. As long as Kenway was there, no one would dare to take his stuff anyway.

In the lab, Miles noticed Malcolm, Evelyn, and Roger looking at the three meters tall alien body on the table. Trio noticed Miles and others and looked at them.

You are finally here, Evelyn said as she walked over and hugged her two sons.

What is this about? Merlin looked uncomfortable and tried to end the hug as soon as possible.

Why did you try to approach the alien while he was still alive? Thank your lucky star he thought attacking weaklings like you would dishonor him. Otherwise, a punch from him would blast you into the afterlife. Evelyn reprimanded both of them. At the time to save Quinn Merlin did his best and jumped into the arena without thinking of any consequence. While Miles ran to the alien so he wouldnt self explode the necklace. In retrospect, it was a reckless move, but at the time, Miles thought nothing else.

Sorry, Mom! Merlin and Miles both looked at the ground and apologized while drawing circles with their feet.

Give them some slack, Evelyn. One of them had his girlfriend stuck with the alien. While the other did it to gain some information. Malcolm came to their rescue.

Hmph. Dont you dare to repeat that again? Evelyn snorted and walked away.

What did you learn from the wristwatch? Malcolm asked Miles.

Miles repeated what he said to Merlin and Adam. The AI in the necklace was more advanced than the child AIs humans had, but no one questioned how Miles was able to hack the necklace. Miles also didnt have the reservation to reveal that much. After hearing Miles and his theories, Evelyn and Roger agreed.

Roger was their family friend from way back, and he was an anatomy specialist. His superpower was Surgeon. When he was holding a scalpel, he would become the best surgeon on Earth. He could even cut the nerves without letting the body bleed. Evelyn must have called him to conduct the autopsy.

So there are two alien races, one of them is the fighting force while the other is the brain. Their technology is more advanced than ours and they are stronger than us. Two against one is really unfavorable. Roger summarized.

But we are still smarter while not much weaker than their fighters. Although the race creates their technology is smarter, they will not be on the battlefield. Humans are cunning and scheming. When battling we will still be smarter. Malcolm commented.

I doubt this Apollo Race would allow anyone to interfere with their battles. They would rather lose and die than take advantage of a third party. Miles said.

That is correct. Adam pondered and nodded. Lets start the autopsy.

The autopsy could reveal any secrets about their training, techniques, and weaknesses. As the master of his field, Roger was in the lead while Evelyn and Adam were at the side. Merlin and Miles joined their father to watch the autopsy.

Where is grandpa? Merlin asked.

Two generals called a meeting. They want the Cross Family to hand the body over. Malcolm said solemnly.

It is our spoil of war. Although there were other E-Tier Hunters, the Cross family took over the battlefield and it was Helez who did most of the work. How can they ask something rightfully ours? Merlin looked mad, but Miles was calmer. He already knew other families would do anything to get the body. That is why instead of revealing openly he made them believe the necklace exploded. It would still put a lot of pressure on him, but there was nothing they could do now. But if he were to keep the necklace, two generals and even Mercer would do everything to get it.

They are our common enemy now and everyone in the arena heard the declaration of war. Although we said we will share our findings, they still want to hold their own autopsies and want us to hand over the body. After Evelyn acquired the dual elemental orb, other families were targeting us already. With this, they will come after us like mad dogs for sure. Malcolm sighed as he explained.

What is Mother AI thinking? Merlin asked after thinking. Her decision wouldnt change generals' ideas, but her support would lessen the pressure on the Cross Family.

After we removed the backdoors from our wristwatches, it stopped interacting with us as much as it did. As of now, it didnt say anything at all. Malcolm said.

Miles looked at both of them and thought if they were suspecting her as much as he did. He was getting more and more suspicious as he learned more about the Main AI, especially after he learned how the AI, which aliens were using, worked. It, unlike Mother AI, didnt create child AI but separated itself into pieces and connected to every citizen. While Mother AI created backdoors in every wristwatch. What was their aim? He still couldnt see the end game.

As they were chatting, Mercer entered with a frown on his face. He looked at the trio and sighed, Something big happened.

What is it? Malcolm asked with caution.

Another evolved undead appeared at the south of Unity. It is much stronger than the last one and can even use elemental powers. The Cross family will take over the battlefield to get rid of the undead and smaller fries around!
