NovelEnglishChapter 665:
He studied her face for a long moment before asking, “How old are you?”
“Twenty-two.”
Verruckt fell silent, his expression darkening. Then, with a derisive laugh, he spoke. “You're really young, aren't
you?” She resembled the girl from his memories, but even if the resemblance was uncanny, she could not be
subject 001. He had seen her die on the island. Even if she had survived, he would kill her.
“Alice,” Verruckt murmured, his tone cryptic. “You'll be reassigned to my office area.”

everything it touched. Back then, subject 001 was presumed dead, her body incinerated in the explosion.
Verruckt had long convinced himself that he’d left her behind, that the resilient cleaner was nothing more than a
relic of a brutal past. But seeing Alice had shaken that conviction. Her face was disturbingly reminiscent of
subject 001’s, as if the two images had melded into one.
