Chapter 212: Reincarnator Team

Everyone froze in place like statues.

Their mouths hung open wide enough to fit an egg.

Their eyes bulged, nearly popping out of their sockets.

The young man who had just said he wanted to hold her in his arms felt his legs go weak and knelt directly on the ground.

The person next to him was in even worse shape, trembling all over with teeth chattering, making a clicking sound.

The expression on Li Shuyi’s face had completely frozen.

Her mouth was open, but she couldn’t make a sound.

Lilith withdrew her foot and patted off non-existent dust from her shoe.

Then, she turned around and looked at the staff member who was now completely dazed.

Her crimson eyes were as calm as water.

Her tender voice echoed through the deathly silent registration office.

“Now, can I register?”

That voice was still tender and still calm.

But no one present dared to treat this voice as a child’s joke anymore.

Li Shuyi’s throat bobbed.

She swallowed hard.

“I… I’ll… I’ll report this right away…”

Her voice trembled so much it was almost inaudible.

Lilith nodded slightly.

“Good.”

She stood there, her petite figure looking exceptionally striking in the sunlight.

Behind her, the armored vehicle lying upside down silently told the story of what had just happened.

Meanwhile, the people around her remained where they stood, unable to move for a long time.

…

Ten minutes.

A time neither long nor short, but enough for the news from the registration office to spread throughout the entire Hong Kong Jaeger Operations Base.

It even reached the ears of the higher-ups.

A military helicopter flew in from the depths of the base, the roar of its rotors growing louder as it approached, finally landing on the open ground next to the registration office.

The hatch opened.

A man wearing a high-ranking officer’s uniform jumped down.

The rank on his shoulder straps indicated he was a Major.

His gaze was as sharp as a hawk’s, sweeping over the whispering crowd before finally landing on the silver-haired little loli standing in the center, still looking calm.

He walked over quickly and spoke.

“Was it you who kicked over the armored vehicle?”

He stood still in front of Lilith, curiously observing the Little Girl before him.

Standing at 1.3 meters tall with a slender build and a tender face.

No matter how one looked at her, she seemed like an ordinary elementary school student.

But he had seen the surveillance footage with his own eyes.

That petite figure had kicked a twenty-ton armored vehicle flying, sending it tumbling twice in the air until it landed upside down.

That kind of power was simply not something a human should possess.

Lilith looked up and met his gaze.

She nodded, her face perfectly calm.

As if she had only done something insignificant.

The Major was silent for a full three seconds.

His gaze lingered on Lilith for a long time, as if trying to see something in that tender face.

But he saw nothing.

Those crimson eyes were as calm as a pool of stagnant water.

No pride, no showing off, not even a single ripple of emotion.

Just calm.

The Major took a deep breath, suppressing the shock in his heart.

He stepped aside and made a gesture for her to follow.

“Please. The higher-ups want to see you.”

Lilith didn’t stand on ceremony.

This had been her goal all along.

She stepped forward and walked toward the helicopter.

She had just taken two steps—

“Wait! Major, there are ten more here!”

A hurried sound of footsteps came from behind, accompanied by breathless shouting.

Lilith stopped and looked back.

A man in a non-commissioned officer’s uniform was running over quickly, followed by ten figures.

Those ten people varied in height and build, but every one of them had a steady and powerful stride, with deep and even breathing.

Their eyes were sharp, and they radiated an aura completely different from ordinary people.

It was an aura of those who had crawled out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

It was something forged through countless life-and-death battles.

Reincarnators.

The corners of Lilith’s mouth curled up slightly into a faint arc.

As expected, they had come too.

Of the twelve participants in this dungeon, besides her, the Hunter, there were eleven others.

These ten before her were likely some of them.

As for the remaining one…

Lilith withdrew her gaze and didn’t think much of it.

They would meet eventually.

The Major was stunned for a moment, his gaze sweeping over the ten people.

His expression became serious.

If Lilith’s strength required surveillance footage to prove, then these ten people, just by standing there, were impossible to ignore.

That aura emanating from their very bones, that look in their eyes that only those who have truly experienced life and death could possess.

These people were definitely not simple.

They were more than a level above even well-trained special forces.

“All of you, get on!”

The Major didn’t ask many questions.

With a wave of his hand, he gave the order directly.

The ten Reincarnators looked at each other and, without hesitation, followed quickly.

The space inside the cabin was somewhat cramped.

Lilith found a corner seat, leaned against the window, closed her eyes, and began to rest.

The ten Reincarnators took their seats one after another, but their eyes all landed on her.

They had also noticed the commotion at the registration office earlier.

To kick over a twenty-ton armored vehicle, one would need a strength-type talent, and at least at A-rank.

Or, it would have to be a Hunter to do it so easily.

They exchanged glances, already having their suspicions.

There were twelve participants in this dungeon, and the one before them was likely one of them—the Hunter.

They just hadn’t expected the other party to look like a child.

A Spirit-type talent?

But how could a Spirit-type have such terrifying strength?

Various thoughts churned in the minds of the ten, but not one of them spoke.

After all, staring at others was very impolite.

Moreover, the other party was likely someone they couldn’t afford to offend; after all, not a single Hunter was simple.

Lilith kept her eyes closed, seemingly oblivious to their gazes.

She didn’t care to acknowledge them.

Her thoughts had already drifted toward the base they were about to arrive at.

The core area of the Hong Kong Jaeger Operations Base.

There, she would find the mecha she needed.

And the intel on the Kaijus she required.

Right now, she was only thinking about how to attract a large number of Kaijus.

Thinking of this, Lilith couldn’t help but think of the Balancer Ivy; if she had known, she would have teamed up with her and let her handle the operations.

The helicopter pierced through the clouds, and the scenery below gradually became clear.

Runways, hangars, command towers, training grounds, dormitories…

And—

Those steel behemoths, dozens of meters tall, parked inside the massive hangars.

Mecha.

Lilith opened her eyes and sat up straight.

Her crimson eyes stared intently through the window at those colossal entities.

Cherno Alpha, with its heavy Soviet style, like a mobile steel fortress.

Crimson Typhoon, with its streamlined body and mono-eye design, full of Eastern charm.

And that brand-new machine that wasn’t yet fully assembled—Striker Eureka.

The pinnacle of Mark-5, humanity’s strongest mecha.

The corners of Lilith’s mouth slowly curled into a smile.

The smile was faint, but it carried an irrepressible excitement.

The mecha of Pacific Rim.

Just how strong were they?

She was curious.

At the same time, she was also curious about how they felt to pilot.

The helicopter began to descend.

Inside the cabin, the ten Reincarnators also saw those mecha.

Their eyes also shimmered with light.

It was ambition, desire, and the pursuit of power.

In this world, mecha were the ultimate weapons.

If they could pilot a mecha, hunting Kaijus would no longer be difficult.

Even—

They could use it to complete side missions and get generous rewards.

The helicopter landed steadily on the helipad.

The hatch opened.

The Major jumped down first.

“We’re here.”

He turned around and looked at the eleven people inside the cabin.

“Next, someone will take you for testing. Whether you can become pilots will depend on your own abilities.”

Lilith stood up and stepped out of the helicopter.

Beneath her feet was the solid concrete ground.

Ahead was that massive mecha hangar.

Behind her, the ten Reincarnators followed one after another.

The sunlight spilled over them, casting long shadows on the ground.
