Dark Light Chaser.

Chapter 592 Conditions
Upon hearing this, the surrounding space became even more stagnant and viscous, as if swimming in swampy mud, where even moving one's body required all one's strength.

"Listen to what I have to say."

Dr. Y naturally noticed the change in the empty room around him. He waved his hand lightly and said, "I did send Geese to Asia Union, but I gave up on the idea the moment you killed him."

Ai Liang coldly stared at Dr. Y, her telekinesis transforming into countless invisible spears aimed at the armor below.

Dr. Y ignored this and continued, "You met DX818A in Qianhua City, right?"
His disguise was exquisite, but it should be of little use against your extraordinary mental strength.

Given your personality, if you detect something strange, you'll definitely investigate to see if it's a spy planted by the Apostles or our Countermeasures Bureau.

Your acquaintance with DX818A was inevitable, and DX818A alone couldn't defeat Geese, so it must have been you who helped Him repel the Sea Heart Society members.

"What does this prove?" Ai Liang asked in a deep voice.

Dr. Y tilted his head: "Isn't my meaning clear enough? Of course, it's because of you that no one will target DX818A anymore."

Oh, by the way, this only applies to the Countermeasures Bureau; I can't control other factions.

Are you taking me for an idiot?

Ai Liang sneered, "Not targeting Him because of me? I had no idea I had such influence in the Countermeasures Bureau."

They get carried away by a few compliments from others.

Such people usually have a common nickname – leeks.

Unfortunately, flattery doesn't apply to Ai Liang.

Unless someone is incredibly stupid, no one will believe such nonsense.

"Be more confident. I know some of your strength. Being able to instantly kill a disciple means that your power is at least on par with Heat Death."

Trading your friendship for a DX818A that's practically worthless to me is a very worthwhile deal.

After Dr. Y finished speaking, worried that Ai Liang might misunderstand, he added, "Although I wasn't present during the battle where the disciples were surrounded and killed, I watched the whole thing from beginning to end via satellite."

Who would have thought that after everyone left, you would quietly and silently kill the disciple?

Ai Liang asked in an unfriendly tone, "How many people know about this?"

"Don't worry, no one in the Countermeasures Bureau knows about this except for me and Xia Qiyuan."

Dr. Y chose to keep this a secret not because he wanted to protect Ai Liang.

Rather, this matter is important strategic intelligence.

The Apostles were unaware that the Countermeasures Bureau had learned of the disciple's serious injuries.

The countermeasures bureau could easily use this intelligence to set another trap.

"So now you're willing to believe me?" Dr. Y asked with a smile.

Ai Liang neither confirmed nor denied this.

Perhaps what the other party said is true, but does telling the truth mean you can't lie?

By omitting some key information, even the truth can become the worst kind of lie.

Ai Liang's intuition kept warning him from the very first sentence the other party uttered, his subconscious telling him that this Dr. Y was definitely plotting against him.

"What do you want from me?" Ai Liang asked.

"Sigh, there's no need to say it so harshly."

Dr. Y sighed dramatically: "If you truly feel guilty for taking what doesn't belong to you for no reason, I can offer a few token conditions to ease your conscience."

Dr. Y's initially nonchalant attitude turned serious as he said, "I can leave the matter of DX818A alone."

Ai Liang's expression remained unchanged: "What are the conditions?"

Dr. Y stated bluntly, "There are only two requirements, and they are very simple."

"First, no matter what happens, your stance must not align with the Apostles, which is not difficult for you."

I won't use any grand human righteousness to coerce you into assisting the countermeasures bureau; you just need to continue being an observer.

With your abilities, regardless of whether the Thousand-Faced Man's plan succeeds or not, you can live well in this world. Staying outside the vortex is the best option for you.

Ai Liang nodded in agreement.

Dr. Y is right about that. Even if he didn't mention it, Ai Liang wouldn't meddle in other people's business.

"The second point concerns the DXC project. I hope you will not investigate or interfere with the DX project again in the future."

Dr. Y's tone was extremely serious: "Now that DX818A has been removed from this project, it must be completely severed from DX. I do not want to see you interfere with the subsequent experiments of the DX project in the future."

Ai Liang narrowed her eyes: "Why do you think I would interfere with Project DX?"

Dr. Y's words are quite intriguing, as if he were implying that Ai Liang, besides DX818A, was somehow involved with the DX project.

Of course, it could also be a warning to Ai Liang that if DX818A's body has any problems in the future, she shouldn't think about seeking help from the Countermeasures Bureau.

Dr. Y adopted a "no comment" attitude: "These two conditions will not only not cause you any loss, but will perfectly meet your needs."

If you can't even guarantee something like this, then I'll have no choice but to use all available resources to expel you from the Asian Alliance, even if it means using the secret weapon prepared for the Thousand-Faced Man.

According to the rules of human society.

Ai Liang's current behavior is as if he accidentally obtained a secret, unreleased product that was lost in a laboratory and intends to keep it for himself.

The lab not only didn't mind, but also generously said that as long as you were willing to keep it confidential, the product didn't need to be returned.

The other party was unbelievably easy to talk to.

Dr. Y is right; Ai Liang doesn't need to pay any price for these two conditions.

But what's free is often the most expensive.

Based on her own intuition, Ai Liang concluded that there was definitely something fishy going on.

"I don't think the Countermeasures Bureau is such an easy organization to talk to... Don't use that nonsense about being afraid of my strength causing serious damage to society as an excuse."

If you really cared about those things, you would have already submitted to the Apostles. Do you think my individual destructive power is greater than the entire Apostles combined?

"So the reason you rejected me is because I wasn't honest enough and I was hiding things from you?"

Dr. Y could naturally understand Ai Liang's subtext and knew exactly what the other party meant.

"No matter what, I am a high-ranking member of the Countermeasures Bureau, and there are some things that cannot be disclosed to the public indiscriminately when it comes to Project DX..."

"Alright then, as the price for concealing some information, I can assure you that no one within the Countermeasures Bureau will ever again attempt to uncover the Hermit's identity."

Dr. Y held out a hand: "And what if we add those outside forces that want to find out your identity, like spies from the Special Affairs Bureau?"

Ai Liang remained silent, seemingly deep in thought.

Even if he could disregard the conditions set by the Countermeasures Bureau and not consider his own interests, he still had to think about Ye Qing.

In the end, Ai Liang chose to grasp the outstretched metal hand.
