She had to go towards the Agricultural Department area and this was one of the ways to do it. She couldn’t risk going back and she also has no business going back. She needed to recharge and rest, and she had two places in her mind of where to find that, but she had to pass this gate.

Taking the risk, she made herself invisible again and muffled the sounds she made. She sprinted towards the open gate and passed the Summit Soldiers just like that.

She waited for them to make a move like prepare a barricade or something, that would prevent her from passing the gate even in her invisible form, but all they did was just stand there and continued chatting with each other.

She was dumbfounded. Were the Summit Soldiers this stupid and careless? She didn’t believe so. They were trained quite adeptly, she had too, but her body couldn’t take it.

Despite being confused by it, she continued on her way and headed towards the Agricultural Department.

What lay beyond the gate was a wide expanse of land, with long stretches of farm plots in it and a wide variety of plants and trees. Along the way, she passed some fields and orchards where the city grew their foods from.

There were a lot of trees and ornamental plants and flowers around, growing without an order as if some drunk farmer decided to sow some seeds in the middle of the night, with no light. Just like the apple tree that grows in the middle of the road and a row of sunflowers growing in the midst of an eggplant field.

In fact, a Summit citizen around 50 years ago had the ability to grow some plants. His life was short but the Summit honored him for his contributions and they took care of all of the random plants he grew. It had become a tradition to randomly plant anywhere in the Agriculture department and some kids thought it was a cool idea to plant a tree in the middle of the road.

After the fields, laid the buildings and the greenhouses of the Agriculture Department. The buildings were where the research centers and farmer’s residents live, while the greenhouses were where they grew the fresh produce in the city that needed a specific environment. The area was also full of random trees and bushes that could hide her for a moment.

She knew it was a poor hiding spot. She was just biding for time, and for what she didn’t know. She also didn’t have any idea on how to escape the city. Even if she escaped, she knew that she did not have that much time to live anyway. That was why she voluntarily entered and infiltrated this city.

She really did not have any plans going back to this city after she ran away months ago.

After settling everything she needed to do, she just wanted to look for a secluded place and stayed there for the remainder of her life. She had dreams and even if she couldn’t achieve it she still wanted to be out of this life, from this organization.

But months after she ran away, her father was killed, in front of her. She tried to exact revenge but she knew that her ability was limited. She spent the next month running from the organization.

Somehow they always knew where she was. Whether she was in another continent or another country, they were still able to find her location. She was tired from it but she still bided her time, teaming up with groups and countries that had grudges with the Truth Holder’s Summit or Summit for short.

She had taken confidential information from the organization and had given it to their enemies. Information such as organization relationships, international events that they have a hand in. future developments, as well as the different systems and power that the Summit possesses. She had also given all the locations of the branches of the Summit that she knew. She gave evidence of how the Summit infiltrated and had access to their classified information.
