Shrouded Seascape

Anna genuinely wished to slaughter all those bastards, but she understood that she was too weak. Once she was strong enough, she swore to carry out her revenge.

The plane moved swiftly, and the distant red light seemed like it was going to disappear at any second now.

The next moment, however, Anna saw something emerge from the red light, and it was flying in their direction. It was the dark yellow nested bubbles! Anna's heart raced upon seeing that the nested bubbles were making a beeline for the plane.

If they were engulfed by those bubbles, things would become troublesome!

With that, Anna melted into the wing and moved toward the cockpit. After a few seconds, Anna's hand emerged from the instrument panel and grabbed the wheel, turning it forcefully.

The aircraft plunged downward, evading the bubbles.

Anna thought that this would be enough, but the red light in the distance caught up with the nested bubbles, forcing them to immediately change their trajectory and engulf the plane.

However, the time reversal that Anna had anticipated didn't occur. Instead, the bubbles contracted rapidly and flew into the cabin.

Among everyone present, only Anna could see the bubbles, and she chased them into the cabin. Due to the abrupt rapid descent, the cabin was in utter chaos.

There were fallen oxygen masks everywhere, and the passengers had collided with each other, causing injuries.

Anna chased after the Anomaly, and she saw it disappear into a woman's figure.

The woman was none other than Li Lu. Li Lu's consciousness was blurry, and her water had broken, soaking the seat. She was clearly going into premature labor.

Before Anna could make any move, the red light outside the cabin flared brightly.

The red light that was chasing after the nested bubbles had finally caught up. The passengers were all IMF personnel, but the bizarre scene still made them hold their breaths. They dared not move as well.

The red light from outside shone on their terrified faces as they stood frozen like stone statues.

A brief yet lengthy five seconds later, the entity within the red light departed upon failing to find its target.

The moment the red light left, Anna focused all her attention on Li Lu's belly. The nested bubbles had entered Li Lu's womb. Clearly, there was something extraordinary with the child in her womb.

Bang!

A deafening gunshot rang out, but the bullet phased through Anna's vibrating head and pierced the face of a woman standing next to her.

"It's 315! She's on the plane!" someone exclaimed.

Anna chuckled coldly upon hearing the terrified voices of the passengers.

She kicked off with one leg and spun around, charging at the person with a gun. She swung her dagger and sliced open the throat of the attacker.

The people on this plane were no ordinary people, so they wouldn't sit and wait for their deaths. Chaos erupted in an instant; those able-bodied worked together to attack Anna.

Unfortunately, they were clearly no match for Anna and the clown.

Soon, Anna hijacked the aircraft, and the clown took over as the pilot.

The passengers and their ugly, terrified expressions didn't affect Anna's next move. She took out the dagger that the clown had given to her and walked up to Li Lu, who still seemed to be half-unconscious.

"What are you going to do?!" an old man rebuked. It seemed like he could see through what Anna was going to do, and he couldn't help but stand up to try and defend Li Lu.

Judging by his clothes, he seemed to be a researcher.

"What am I going to do? Of course, I'm going to do what you've all done to me. I'm sure you old foxes know what I'm talking about, so don't talk nonsense, okay?"

The bubbles had clearly entered Li Lu, and they had most likely settled within the child in her womb. Could she perhaps absorb that Anomaly once it had a physical form?

Just as Anna was about to slice open Li Lu's bulging abdomen, the half-unconscious Li Lu woke up and grabbed the blade with her hand.

Li Lu seemed to be the epitome of indifference, but she revealed a pleading look in front of Anna. Tears were even sliding down her face as she said, "Please, it's just an unborn child! Spare it, please. You're a mother, too. You know what I'm feeling."

Anna's heart, which she believed had become as hard as steel upon her arrival on the surface world, seemed to tremble upon hearing Li Lu's words.

What is this feeling? Why am I feeling this way? Is it because of my human body?

However, Anna immediately pushed those thoughts aside. How could she let herself be affected by her emotions?

"Don't worry, I won't cut you open. I'm here to deliver your baby. Your water has broken, so your child is going to die if it doesn't get out soon," Anna said.

Just as her words fell, a pair of tiny hands emerged beneath Li Lu's bloody skirt.

The hands were too tiny, resembling the hands of a baby monkey. This was normal, as the child in Li Lu's womb was premature.

It came out on its own? Anna was shocked.

Li Lu groaned in pain, and an imprint of an infant's head appeared on her round belly. Moments later, the outline of a baby's face appeared on Li Lu's abdomen, and the baby seemed to be staring at Anna.

Anna hesitated at the sight. Would she be in danger if she made contact with the infant that had clearly been engulfed by those bubbles? Before Anna could make any decision, there was a plop, and Li Lu's belly deflated.

The placenta carrying the squirming baby fell to the floor.

Anna instantly became wary as she carefully opened the placenta with the dagger in her hand. The premature infant was very small, appearing to weigh less than four pounds. Some parts of its skin even seemed to be transparent.

It wasn't crying, but it was coughing incessantly, seemingly trying to expel the amniotic fluid in its lungs.

"My child!" Li Lu exclaimed and held the baby in her arms.

However, the infant seemed displeased by its mother's embrace. It turned nimbly and wriggled out of her arms. After crawling on the ground, it stood up shakily.

And a red premature infant actually stood up just like that...

The baby's eyes were still closed, but it clenched its fists and raised them above its head. Then, it opened its toothless mouth and cried out, "Great, I'm finally born!"

Not only was Anna stunned; everyone present was stunned—no, they stared in horror at the incomprehensible scene before them. A newborn premature infant had just spoken right before their eyes.

The infant rubbed its eyes and opened them. Then, its gaze settled on Anna. Its eyes were extremely beautiful, resembling pure amber. "Hello there. Nice to meet you."

"Why do you look so familiar to me? Have you met me in the past or in the future?"

Anna retreated a few steps in silence. "What are you?"

"Me? I'm human, of course. Ah, right, you can also call me by my name. Yes, a person should have a name. Hmm... I've decided! My name shall be Tobba!"

Anna felt like an explosion had gone off in her head as soon as she heard the infant's words, and she was instantly reminded of that certain, carefree old man; the old man had died at the hands of the Foundation, and they held his absurd funeral on Hope Island.

If this infant is Tobba… doesn't that mean there's something wrong with the timeline?
