Alice just wanted to redeem the image of Beiyin Domain in Lin Tianming's heart.
Why is it so hard?
Do you know how exhausting it was for her today just trying to salvage the reputation?
These people from the Genetic Sect are good for nothing other than ruining things!
The more she thought about it, the angrier she got, and the angrier she got, the more she wanted to chop someone…
Since Beiyin Domain has its sinful and dark sides, it's up to her to demonstrate its just and bright side.
Thinking of what Lin Tianming said about seeing the beautiful aspects of Beiyin Domain in her, Alice made up her mind.
Defending the beauty of Beiyin Domain, Alice is obliged to do so!
Lin Tianming watched the entire time, understanding all the rich emotions Alice was experiencing in a short period.
Although it wasn't a time to laugh, he always felt like laughing.
Alice, you're trying too hard to protect the image of Beiyin Domain!
Why don't you become the official spokesperson for Beiyin Domain then!
Feeling emotional for a moment, Lin Tianming was also curious to see how Alice would handle the Genetic Sect's chaotic drugging and kidnapping incident.
The one being chased by the Genetic Sect was a girl with disheveled hair.
As she almost reached Lin Tianming and Alice, perhaps overwhelmed by fear, she slipped and fell to the ground.
Just as she fell and was getting back up, two members of the Genetic Sect caught up with her.
"I told you to run! Just wait until I take you back to the lab, I'll teach you a lesson! You've wasted so much of our time!"
"I think we should just deduct her trial medication salary for this month. This is the cost of not cooperating and trying to escape!"
Just as the two Genetic Sect members were about to grab the girl, Alice promptly stepped in front of her.
"Get lost!"
[Before I truly get angry, you'd better scram right now!]
The two Genetic Sect members couldn't hear Alice's inner thoughts.
Hearing Alice's bold interjection, the two Genetic Sect members laughed.
"Little sister, have you watched too many Beiyin Domain heroism movies? Want to play the superhero who steps up to save people like in the movies? I suggest you cool down your hot-blood, move aside, and mind your own business!"
"We are people from the Genetic Sect, one of the official powers of Beiyin Domain. If you offend us, your life is over!"
Hearing these two Genetic Sect members trying to intimidate her using their status, she couldn't help but laugh angrily.
"Being an official force of Beiyin Domain allows you to randomly kidnap people for experiments? I don't care what your status is, leave now while you can!"
Lin Tianming silently applauded Alice's fearless side as he watched.
The girl on the ground looked at Alice like she was watching a superhero from a movie stepping up for her.
Yet, the girl was also worried about causing trouble for Alice.
Seeing Alice remaining defiant, the faces of the two Genetic Sect members instantly darkened.
"We just received a new batch of genetic transformation potions in our lab; since you're so eager to step up, we'll just capture you and use you to test our new drugs!"
Having lost patience with conversing with Alice, the two Genetic Sect members directly attacked Alice.
In their view, a girl of Alice's age, even if a student at a High-level Awakened Academy in Beiyin Domain, could not possibly be their match.
They thought they could effortlessly capture Alice and use her as a free test subject for their drugs.
Seeing the two Genetic Sect members so recklessly daring to touch Alice, Lin Tianming was ready to sit back and watch the show.
"This is the price you pay for watching too many superhero movies and stepping up, just be our free guinea pig!"
"You can consider this as a sacrifice for science, and together with this waste on the ground, contribute to the grand genetic technology research of Beiyin Domain and more effectively develop human superpowers, hahaha!"
Just as the two Genetic Sect members thought they could definitely capture Alice and started to mock her boldness, they suddenly felt their hands disappear.
The two involuntarily looked down and saw their hands had fallen to the ground, while blood was continuously dripping from their wrists.
Stunned briefly, the two Genetic Sect members then let out excruciating screams of pain.
"I... my hand... you... you actually chopped off my hand!"
"You... just you wait... Daring to openly obstruct our Genetic Sect's maintenance of order on the streets, you and your family are going to suffer... just wait to be stabbed in the back several times and die by suicide!"
Stabbed in the back several times and still die by suicide?
Alice was initially stunned, but quickly understood what was meant and her expression turned cold.
"I don't know if you can force me and my family to commit suicide, but I do know that you two must pay for what you've done today!"
Under Alice's control, the diminutive Mechanical Doll wielded a silver-white Mechanical broadsword, severing the arms of two Genetic Sect members.
Upon realizing what was chopping at them, while they screamed in pain, their eyes also gradually conveyed an unwillingness to trouble Alice further.
"Mechanical Doll... Mechanical Puppet Master Ability... Silver-haired girl... you... you are Alice, the young miss from one of the three great families of the Holy Light Family in Beiyin Domain Heavenly City?"
Alice responded coldly: "It seems you have some understanding. So... do you still want to make me and my family suffer stabbing ourselves to death from behind?"
"I... we wouldn't dare! If we had known it was Miss Alice... not even a hundred guts would be enough for us to cause trouble before you!"
"You chopped well... beautifully chopped! We two deserve this punishment... please don't hold it against us two small fry, we were just following orders to capture someone!"
The Holy Light Family, one of the top three families in Beiyin Domain Heavenly City?
Alice actually had such an identity!
This was the first time Lin Tianming became aware of her family's influence since he got to know Alice.
Looking at the two Genetic Sect members, who despite having their arms chopped off, dared not misbehave in front of Alice, he could see the influence of the Holy Light Family in Beiyin Domain Heavenly City.
Following that, Alice, leveraging her identity from the Holy Light Family, warned those two Genetic Sect members.
She told them to report back to the Genetic Sect higher-ups, that she, Alice, would protect this test drug girl, and they must not trouble this girl again.
Also, concerning the matter they had promised to assist the girl with her debts, the Genetic Sect must take responsibility for it.
With Alice stepping in, the two Genetic Sect members readily agreed, not daring to refuse.
The rescued girl kept thanking Alice before finally leaving.
At least that problem with the meddlesome Genetic Sect members was resolved, and Alice returned to Lin Tianming's side, her charming face showing a trace of an apology.
"Tianming, I apologize, today was supposed to be a good day showing you the beautiful aspects of the Beiyin Domain, yet such an incident happened, I hope you don't mind!"
To keep Alice from feeling guilty about the incident, Lin Tianming also said, "I don't mind."
Continuing on their way back, Alice tried her best to erase the bad impression that the Genetic Sect members had left on Lin Tianming regarding the Beiyin Domain.
"Tianming, actually, incidents like what happened earlier are rather rare in Beiyin Domain. Most of the time, Beiyin Domain's official powers are quite law-abiding and do not randomly oppress the ordinary people. Our Beiyin Domain..."
However, before Alice could finish her efforts to salvage the image of the Beiyin Domain, a voice from ahead once again made her look embarrassed.
"You bastards! Everyone in the Mechanical Sect are bastards! My whole body is fine, why are you capturing me for some ghost experiment? And to amputate my legs for mechanical limbs... you madmen!"
"To be able to contribute to the honorable evolution of mechanical technology, you should feel honored! If by your sacrifice, we can devise limbs that allow the disabled to walk more easily, what a great cause it would be!"
"Why don't you find people who are really disabled then? They would certainly agree to cooperate in your experiments, why capture me?"
"There are too few people with genuinely disabled legs. Accumulating research data like this would take who knows how long before we see results, so to let everyone enjoy the benefits of mechanical technology sooner, your sacrifice is worth it. Join us!"
"I... I refuse! If you lack research data, why don't you break your own legs and fit prostheses for your experiments! You bunch of madmen... everyone in the Mechanical Sect are madmen!"
"Idiot, to realize the great replacement of the Mechanical Body completely taking over the human body, we were already determined enough to break our own legs and attach mechanical limbs. Now, it's just your turn. Come to your senses and join our cause of mechanical evolution, then you won't feel the pain from having your legs broken!"
"No... I absolutely refuse... although I admit it's impressive you guys have the resolve to break your own legs for your cause... but you can't impose your ideas on me... I'm just an ordinary person!"
Seeing the scene of the Mechanical Sect forcibly capturing someone for experimentation ahead, Alice didn't even know how to explain to Lin Tianming.
She had just mentioned that the Beiyin Domain's official power oppressing ordinary people was a rare event, yet here were people from the Mechanical Sect proving her wrong!
She wanted to maintain a good image of Beiyin Domain in front of Lin Tianming, was that so easy?
First, it was the Genetic Sect, now the Mechanical Sect...
Every time she managed to salvage a bit of Beiyin Domain's image, someone would shatter it all!
Today... she felt like all her efforts were in vain...
Her Tianming must now have the worst impression of Beiyin Domain...
Tired, might as well destroy it all!
