Alien [Future Variant Warfare]

Carnage-ridden corporate live-streams sell goods, and unexpectedly, the second Red Light Catastrophe descends upon the imprisoned workers who collectively mutate.

Rampaging outlaws, the cold-resistant monster “Bruce in Frosty Garb,” traitors, dense fog, cliff-side car crashes—all events spiral towards an eerie development.

Nervous analyst Sui Xing is horrified but relieved: “Good thing I’m also a double agent.”

In the Five Capitals where four great relics reside, with the Forbidden Wall of Tianfu reigning supreme, worldly people pursuing nobility and wealth disdain the likes of the undercover agents known as the “Wu Jian Apostles”: The Tianfu Monarch abhors this identity above all else; sooner or later, treacherous insiders will meet their end!

Sui Xing wonders: “Is that really so?”

The world replies: “Indeed! The King witnessed his kin’s tragic deaths at the hands of traitors since childhood. No traitor has ever escaped under his watch, and no one has ever broken such a curse.”

But Sui Xing breaks it—she chooses to close the King’s eyes forever.

At a conference in the Five Capitals to discuss hunting down the most despicable criminal in history, Sui Xin, the unexpected turn occurs. A historically aloof and noble King says, “Sit down, you’re one of us.”

Sui Xing responds: “No, Your Majesty, I am not tired nor sleepy; my loyalty remains unwavering.”

Another King questions: “Who is she? Does she even qualify?”

An accident befalls the meeting, leaving several Kings severely injured, one or two eliminated, and Sui Xin reluctantly takes the seat of the deceased after washing her hands.
