Chapter 519 Killing the chicken to scare the monkey

"It doesn't matter which side I'm on, what matters is whether you want to survive."

Ai Liang spoke in a very calm tone, as if she were talking to Chuck about what she ate last night.

“I know that the curse can protect your memories and restrict you from revealing information about the Sea Heart Society, but only if the power that invades your brains is within the limits that the curse in your body can withstand.”

“Once the cursed defenses are breached, to prevent information leaks… you should know what your fate will be.”

Chuck steadied himself and said calmly, "Our memories never truly belonged to us. Even if you pry open my head, you won't get any information..."

Before Chuck could finish speaking, Ai Liang delivered the fatal blow: "That's the curse within you, without breaking the connection with the curse at the Sea Heart Society headquarters, isn't it?"

"What do you mean?" Chuck asked in a deep voice.

"I had already invaded your brains before I came in."

As Ai Liang spoke words that sent chills down their spines, she used her telekinesis to immobilize Chuck's body.

Then he took out his phone from Chuck's pocket: "The Curse detected my intrusion and immediately extracted the data, but unfortunately I stopped it."

After determining that the information was irretrievable, the Curse prepared to destroy all the information and completely burn your brains, but I stopped them again.

Chuck's eyes widened in utter shock.

Anyone who knows they've just narrowly escaped death would find it hard to remain calm.

If his body hadn't been held in place by telekinesis, he probably would have jumped up by now.

“Once the destruction process of the curse is initiated, it cannot be reversed unless the source of the curse comes to you personally to remove it,” Ai Liang continued.

A shadow fell over Chuck and his companion's faces.

For ordinary field staff like them, it was undoubtedly a pipe dream to have their superiors go to such lengths to personally order the removal of the curse.

What's more, the two of them are now prisoners of war.

If Haixin found out, they would be lucky if they didn't intensify the destruction of the curse; they would never step in to save people.

Chuck quickly assessed the situation and calmly asked, "What do you want us to do?"

Although Chuck is just an ordinary weirdo user, the fact that he was sent to be an instructor for the Fusion Warrior Seeds means he is by no means a fool.

Since Ai Liang is willing to talk to them so much, she must have something in mind.

As long as you can satisfy the other party, survival shouldn't be a problem.

Seeing that Chuck was so sensible, Ai Liang nodded in satisfaction: "I can use my ability to restrict the curse within you. I will also disguise that power as part of the curse and leave it within you, which is equivalent to putting a lock on the curse."

In return, you only need to reveal some information about the Sea Heart Society to survive, how about it?

Chuck thought about it carefully and was about to agree when President Ao Xi spoke up.

I wonder if this guy has spent too much time as a CEO and negotiating business in human society, and has forgotten everything his organization taught him.

Even after being put on the chopping block, they still dare to question: "If you can control the curse, then why don't you just read the information in our heads? Why go through all this trouble?"

President Ao Xi pointed out the suspicious points in Ai Liang's words.

Clearly, he didn't quite believe Ai Liang's words.

President Ao Xi's action startled Chuck, who was standing next to him, causing his heart rate to spike.

Right now, we're at their mercy; does what others say really matter?
Even if it's fake, it has to be real!
Fortunately, Ai Liang wasn't angry; instead, she patiently explained to President Ao Xi.

“I don’t understand how the curse works, but I can forcibly block its power. For example, no matter how skilled a hacker or computer is, it can’t do anything without electricity.”

Intercepting the self-destruction of the curse is simple, but extracting information about the Sea Heart Society from the protection of the curse is difficult.

This is no less difficult than performing heart surgery on someone while holding a butcher's knife.

It's quite remarkable that Ai Liang was able to react immediately and prevent the self-destruction of the curse, given that it was her first encounter with it.

If he could break through the world's most advanced mental defenses designed against the Thousand-Faced Man with just a glance.

That Thousand-Faced Man should just dig a hole and bury himself.

"Then how can you guarantee you'll let us off the hook afterward?" President Ao Xi pressed his advantage.

Ai Liang glanced at him, then looked at Chuck.

Before Chuck, who was feeling uneasy, could step in to smooth things over, President Ao Xi suddenly rolled his eyes and fell to the floor without making a sound.

Chuck started to panic and asked cautiously, "What's wrong with him...?"

"died."

Ai Liang answered succinctly.

As if worried that the stunned Chuck wouldn't understand, Ai Liang added, "One person who can answer my questions is enough."

Even if one cannot read minds, one can still discern from the conversation between Chuck and President Ao Xi who holds a higher position.

One is a field operative who rarely returns to headquarters, and the other is an instructor responsible for training fusion warrior seeds.

It goes without saying who has more intelligence.

What President Ao Xi knows, Chuck knows too; what he doesn't know, Chuck also knows.

A person who is worthless but talks a lot is perfect for making an example of.

Ai Liang is not some nice guy.

The bottom line of not killing innocent people is that it applies to unrelated people encountered when one is "meddling," excluding enemies.

There is no right or wrong when it comes to one's stance.

Just because the enemy hasn't done anything heinous that would incur divine wrath, does that mean we have to let him go?
Then I can only say that the human world is not suitable for you; you should go back to heaven.

Looking at Ai Liang's indifferent expression and eyes devoid of any emotion, Chuck felt as if the blood in his body was about to freeze, turning ice-cold.

The eerie is terrifying because every time you face it, you must be prepared to die.

But Ai Liang in front of you is more terrifying than the eerie, because you never know when he will kill you.

Having a gun standoff and being sniped in the head from the shadows are two completely different feelings.

The former is tension, the latter is fear.

Chuck swallowed hard, trying to keep his voice calm: "What do you want to know?"

Why isn't there a curse on his body?

Ai Liang pointed to Peng Yuan, whose senses had been shut down, and asked.

"In order to select suitable bizarre fusions, fusion warrior seeds generally do not accept cursed parasitism too early."

Only after the specific anomaly to be integrated has been determined will the curse be implanted concurrently with the second or third stage of surgery.

Among those at Chuck's level, there are many who are loyal to the Sea Heart Society, but Chuck is not one of them.

Even within official intelligence agencies, there are still a bunch of spies who have been turned.

Chuck didn't feel much guilt about betraying the Sea Heart Society's information to save his own life.

For him, only by living can there be a future; death is worthless.
