A girl.
A tall girl with a curvaceous figure walked down the street.
Inside the room, Sergei felt an extremely contradictory sensation.
The girl's steps didn't seem fast, yet like a ghostly shadow, she traveled from the far end of the street to the front of her target in the blink of an eye.
Pausing briefly, she continued forward.
The girl's target was clear: she was heading towards the Nemesis Type-2, which was closing in on Sherry and Annette.
"Lisa?"
Although her physique had changed drastically, Sherry still recognized who the girl was.
Her physical form might have changed, but her facial features and expression were highly similar.
Annette, who had been slightly panicked, also breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed as she looked at the girl arriving in front of them:
"Lisa Trevor, you're finally here."
Normally, Lisa accompanied Sherry as a playmate, but in reality, she was the true bodyguard designated by Asa to protect Sherry and Annette—something even Karen, who served as their security on the surface, didn't know.
Karen was an old acquaintance from the U.B.C.S. Team back at the Mansion.
Although Lisa was a harmless-looking girl who usually accompanied Sherry, she was internally a B.O.W. who had killed countless people on a whim.
Of course, Annette, being one of those in the know, was well aware of this.
The name Lisa Trevor was also recorded in the origins of the G-Virus. As one of the researchers of the G-Virus, it was impossible for Annette not to know.
As far as Annette knew, Asa maintained an agent force called Blackwatch, and one of its members was the girl who had just arrived.
Using a superhuman, virus-modified human as a private soldier was truly luxurious.
The moment she arrived, the tense atmosphere dissipated, and the main parties all showed relieved expressions. Even Nemesis stood in place, waiting for Lisa's entrance animation to finish playing.
Lisa smiled and nodded at Sherry. Then, her gaze swept toward Nemesis, who was already growling uneasily in place, startled by the aura radiating from the girl. Her violet eyes were filled with disgust.
It was precisely Spencer and his cohorts' pursuit of these monsters' abilities that had led to the tragedy of Lisa's family.
Now they dared to covet Sherry, whom Asa had entrusted to her and whom Lisa was sworn to protect.
You have already courted death!
With her hands in her pockets, Lisa imitated Asa posture and walked toward Nemesis.
"Go, Lisa! Beat it!"
Sherry leaned out of Annette's embrace, waving her fists to cheer Lisa on.
Annette quickly covered Sherry's mouth.
When two monsters fight, ordinary people like them had better not stick around to watch.
Although she had been enhanced by the T-Virus, against a Nemesis capable of using heavy weapons, Annette, as a non-combatant, could only guarantee that her enhanced self would be able to take more heavy punches.
"Let's retreat first."
Annette said to Karen beside her.
The group covered each other as they retreated, disappearing around the corner.
Meanwhile, Nemesis watched its target disappear with its own eyes, yet it didn't dare to make a single move.
Fear, trembling, dread—if it continued to attack, it would die!
The survival instinct of the virus clashed violently with its pre-programmed instructions, causing Nemesis Type-2 to freeze in place like a crashed system for the moment.
Lisa would not miss this opportunity. Whether Nemesis would fight to the death like its predecessor or let its instincts suppress its commands and choose to flee, Lisa would not let it go.
Approaching Nemesis frame by frame, Lisa's form was also rapidly changing.
Her 1.8-meter supermodel physique continued to grow—two meters, three meters—until she transformed into the demonic form she had used in the gymnasium.
Over three meters tall with an alluring silhouette, she looked like a demon walking out of hell, combining aesthetic beauty with raw combat power.
Seeing this, Sergei couldn't help but curse:
"Suka blyat."
Annette had indeed unlocked the secrets of the T-Virus. The girl before him, who could switch between a human girl and a combat B.O.W. form at will, was definitely Annette's masterpiece.
He just didn't know: between her and Nemesis, who was stronger?
"Hmph, put on a show for me."
After a brief thought, Sergei felt reassured.
Although the hostile figure's height suppressed Nemesis, Sergei would not easily believe that Nemesis would lose.
Aside from its formidable physical strength, Nemesis also carried the weapons prepared for it by the Northern European Base.
Having spent over twenty years developing bio-organic weapons for Umbrella, Sergei had absolute confidence in how to maximize their killing efficiency.
However, Sergei had overlooked one thing.
Over the years, whether it was the Hunters, Cerberuses, Lickers, Tyrants, or even Nemesis, the reason they were so powerful was that they were designed with human soldiers as their hypothetical enemies.
B.O.W.s could rely on their lack of fear of death to endure more fatal wounds, and even use their terrifying appearances to strike at the enemy's morale, shattering their will to fight.
Unfortunately, this time, the opponent was not a human, but a B.O.W. of the same caliber.
Just like right now.
Lisa closed the distance, her figure flashing before Nemesis like a phantom. Before it could react, she delivered an uppercut.
The blow was so incredibly powerful that it even created a sonic boom in the air.
The 2.5-meter figure soared into the sky and flew backward like a tattered kite.
Having sent Nemesis flying several meters with a single punch, Lisa didn't press her advantage. Instead, she stood in place, frowning.
She subconsciously reached out to touch her lower abdomen. There, stuffed full of "overtime pay," she had inexplicably felt a wave of intense heat when she threw the punch.
Warm and caring?
No, it had clearly been digested long ago.
Lisa was very confident in her body's absorption capacity.
Just as she swung her fist earlier, Lisa had a peculiar feeling that she could consume the existing substances in her body to trigger something.
The energy inside her body, brought to her by Asa, was definitely not just simple genetic material.
Lisa chose to follow this feeling. She closed in again, swinging another uppercut at Nemesis, who had just struggled to its feet.
Only this time, Lisa followed her heart and utilized a certain substance within her body.
A certain energy was triggered. A thick blaze ignited on Lisa's fist, bursting into an intense flame out of thin air.
"So big, so hot!"
Lisa felt the energy inside her body, the gift from Asa, being rapidly consumed and depleted.
"Uppercut!"
This incredibly heavy punch actually blew the head of Nemesis Type-2 apart. The flames then spread across Nemesis's entire body, incinerating it completely in a matter of moments, leaving not even a speck of ash behind.
Nemesis Type-2, deceased!
Lisa stared blankly at her palm. Although she had just burned Nemesis Type-2 to ashes, the flame burning on her fist was now gentle and bright, without a trace of the violence that had just swept through.
What kind of energy was this?
Why was it warm yet so versatile?
Lisa felt that she could also transform this energy into other forms.
No sooner said than done; Lisa began to experiment.
As she manipulated her hand, the flame vanished, replaced by transparent air. An invisible wind swirled over her palm, and with another shift, it became a sphere of water.
Sergei was dumbfounded.
"Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?"
Everything happened too fast. Before Sergei's brain could comprehend what had occurred, the situation changed again.
Beside the girl playing with the magical power, a young man with black hair appeared. Sergei recognized him—it was Asa, the boss of Xinghai Pharmaceutical from the Xinghai files.
Asa had actually appeared because he sensed a sudden surge of magic here. For this, he had specially activated the Purity Mark left on Lisa.
Using up the precious once-a-day opportunity.
Arriving at the scene, Asa frowned. He first glanced at the house in the distance, which was pitch-black inside yet had its curtains wide open.
So, he snapped his fingers.
Whether they actually made eye contact or not, Sergei's body turned cold. His body, which had fused with the Tyrant Virus, shuddered, and he subconsciously stiffened in place, unable to move a muscle.
This feeling?
Sergei's eyes twitched as he tried to move his body.
As the head of the Caucasus Research Base, Sergei, in his panic, recalled an instinct found in insects: playing dead.
That is, when an insect encounters a predator many times its size, it will subconsciously stiffen and hang in place, looking as if it were dead. In reality, this is a protective mechanism for insects.
Upon encountering a predator, the body's instinctive reaction attempts to deceive the enemy, causing the predator to lose interest.
Just how terrifying was this man? He had actually caused him to freeze to death in place like an insect.
Sergei thought in shock.
It took a long time before Sergei felt his body recover. Just as he was about to move, he found himself unable to move again.
"How is this possible?"
This time it wasn't stiffening; rather, his body simply could not move. The Russian looked down and saw that his body was already covered in a thick layer of White Frost.
"I've been frozen? When?"
Looking around, the USS Team members monitoring with him had fallen into the exact same situation.
What on earth had happened? Why did it turn out like this?
Looking back, he couldn't even see the situation on the field clearly anymore.
...
The activity inside the house couldn't be hidden from Asa at all; a prying gaze could hardly escape his senses.
Snapping his fingers, he used magic to freeze the onlookers inside the house in place.
Turning his gaze to Lisa, she had already reverted to her original appearance.
"Condense that energy from earlier again and let me see."
As the flames rose, Asa confirmed one thing from his familiar perception.
This was magic! Only...
How could Lisa use magic?
Could it be from just now?
Thinking of the five hours of overtime on the second basement floor, Asa couldn't quite keep his composure.
Could it be caused by mana replenishment?
As he thought, the girl in front of him suddenly pressed up against him.
"Lang, I'm hungry."
"If you're hungry, go eat."
Asa frowned. What kind of time was this to be thinking about eating?
"Okay."
Without another word, Lisa squatted down and grabbed Asa belt.
"Holy crap, so you meant eating this?"
Asa quickly pulled up his pants. Any later, and Lisa would have stripped his pants off, exposing him in the middle of the street.
"I'm hungry."
Lisa pouted in dissatisfaction. "With that move just now, all of this afternoon's reserves are gone!"
So that was it.
Asa suddenly understood. While magic power fused with his body and stored magic, his exchange of bodily fluids with Lisa had also transferred a portion of Chaos Magic to her.
Under normal circumstances, this magic power wouldn't modify the other person's body.
But who could help it, since it was Lisa.
She possessed an improved version of the Progenitor Virus in her body, and the strength of the Progenitor Virus lay in its ability to devour gene fragments.
Fusing with leech genes, it spawned the T-Virus.
Fusing with ancient queen ant and plant genes, T-Veronica was born.
Lisa, who retained a portion of the virus's devouring ability, absorbed Asa magic power during this process, thereby enabling her to use Elemental Magic as well.
What was this? A magical B.O.W.?
However, Asa also discovered that although Lisa, who had acquired a certain degree of magical ability, could wield Elemental Magic without any incantations or precise control, its form was extremely chaotic, and she could only use the most primitive, basic forms.
All she could do was coat her fists in flames.
This power was still limited, and since no magical energy existed in the resident evil world, once the magic inside Lisa's body was depleted, Asa would need to replenish her mana.
It could be considered an unexpected pleasant surprise.
This also provided Asa with a direction for thought.
The Progenitor Virus's devouring ability was extremely formidable. After devouring and fusing with magical gene fragments, if it were similarly used as an enhancement serum to fuse with the human body, could it allow others to acquire this magical talent?
Setting aside his personal magical talent, his women's magical talents could be acquired through the Purity Mark. Therefore, it didn't need to be absolutely perfect; being able to use a Fireball spell would be considered a success.
Cultivate a magical legion?
Asa had multiple concepts for the staffing of Watchdog Security, and Lisa's performance undoubtedly provided him with yet another idea.
Placing his hand on Lisa's shoulder, under her resentful gaze, Asa unhurriedly completed the mana replenishment.
Lisa had thought that to possess this ability again, she would need to have a wild romp with Asa, but that wasn't actually the case.
Having acquired the magical talent, Asa could directly transfer the magic source within his body into Lisa's body, much like the "empowerment" in martial arts novels. Since their magic shared the same origin, the fusion went very smoothly.
After a moment, Asa withdrew his hand.
"Let's go. It's time to see what these rats in the gutter are up to."
Asa smiled, looking toward the residence in the darkness.
Spencer wanted to kidnap Annette to obtain the secrets of T-Evolution, which had indeed caught Asa by surprise this time.
If not for some reason learning to "be polite before using force," the two Watchdog Security employees really wouldn't have been able to hold them off.
Alas, Lisa. He had thought it would only take two hours to settle things, but too much effort had been wasted in vain.
And Asa couldn't leave a Purity Mark on Annette and Sherry, otherwise...
"Spencer really spared no expense."
Entering Sergei's hidden residence with Lisa, Asa clapped his hands in praise after figuring out the staffing inside.
Let's see who we have here.
Controlled in place by the Freeze Spell and unable to move: one person on the second floor, three on the first floor, and two more in the basement.
The head of the Caucasus Base, Sergei.
Four nameless USS Team members.
The famous Grim Reaper HUNK, captain of the USS Team.
It was worth mentioning that everyone on the first and second floors was frozen, and even Sergei was unable to move.
However, in the basement, the Grim Reaper HUNK in his captain's uniform was enduring the stiffness of the freeze, struggling to crawl toward the exit of the basement tunnel.
If they had arrived a bit later, they might have let this "survival king" slip away.
