Chapter 281 "Devil's Contract"

Song Zhaomei was silent. Ke Ling's words were very direct and true. They were not related to each other, so why should they help her? Wouldn't it be better to keep her as a deterrent weapon? And what other bargaining chips could she bring out?
In just a few words, Rosalind Miles' transformation was completed. The speed was really fast, which also proved that this lady president really had no talent.

The reaction of the [Extreme System] also proves this point. Rosalind Miles is just an ordinary servant. She does not provide any lottery opportunities and has no special qualities.

Ke Ling didn't think it was strange. Who can say for sure about the lottery? Although Rosalind Miles also appeared and had a role, she was not special enough in the system's judgment. She was not even as special as Arasaka Michiko.

"This"

Rosalind Miles, who had regained consciousness, was in shock. She lay on the ground with her eyes wide open, trying to understand the "contract" she had just signed with Ke Ling.

Even she, the new President of the United States and former CEO of "Military Technology", has never seen such an overbearing and unreasonable lifetime contract!

These companies would at least disguise themselves when signing contracts, and hide hidden dangers in a bunch of clauses. But this contract had absolutely no disguise at all!

Looking at Rosalind Miles's appearance, Michiko Arasaka felt the same way. When she was first transformed, she seemed not much different from Rosalind Miles.

It has to be said that the contract signed with Lord Devil is indeed very much like a "devil's contract". They paid everything for it in exchange for power and eternal life.

"Myles, obey my Lord's command."

Michiko Arasaka spoke condescendingly. At this moment, she felt indescribably happy. Finally, it was finally her turn!

In the past, it was Rosalind Miles who gave her orders, bossed her around, and never even looked at her straight in the eye, but now the roles have been reversed!
"."

Rosalind Miles looked up at Michiko Arasaka, with some anger and shame in her eyes. She naturally understood Michiko Arasaka's pride, but she didn't have the courage to refute. She didn't want to die, at least she didn't want to die in such an unclear way.

"Lord Devil"

In the end, the new American president, who had just been so arrogant, lowered her "noble" head and submitted to Coling.

Rosalind Miles still can't let go of power. In the face of power, nothing else matters. So what's the point of submitting to Coling?

In fact, if she had to say, the ultimate authority described by Ke Ling was what attracted her the most. If she could control the power of the entire "Shadow Society", wouldn't it be more fulfilling than controlling the "New America"? ! There is no comparison between the two! They are not organizations of the same magnitude.

"Very good, you are indeed a smart person and made a smart choice."

Ke Ling nodded and expressed his approval of Rosalind Miles's approach. It was great that this guy could face the reality. With Rosalind Miles' cooperation, things would be much simpler and a lot of unnecessary trouble would be avoided.

Looking at the scene in front of her, "Lark" Song Zhaomei was dumbfounded. She blinked hard and even wanted to restart her artificial eye. She was a little suspicious whether her artificial eye was blackened and she could see such an outrageous thing.

"Do you really need me?"

Song Zhaomei murmured to herself. She felt that her existence was not that important in front of this Lord Devil.

With her powerful individual abilities, she can manipulate people's minds and even make people like Arasaka Michiko and Rosalind Miles bow down to her. Does she really need such a deterrent? Maybe she is more of a security risk?

"You're right, I really don't need you to intimidate others."

Ke Ling looked at Song Zhaomei with a smile. Not only did he not need it, but he also did not want anyone else to possess this power. He did not want to fight to the death with the AI ​​outside the "black wall" so early. At least he had to unite the forces within the "black wall" first.

"Master Devil, Song Zhaomei is valuable. She is a trump card that can make the enemy hesitate at the critical moment."

After hearing the conversation between Ke Ling and Song Zhaomei, Rosalind Miles stood up. She got into the role very quickly, as expected of a professional politician, whose main character was shameless.

Rosalind Miles was certainly not speaking for Song Zhaomei. She just wanted to keep the deterrent weapon that she had worked so hard to create.

In fact, Song Zhaomei is not something that can be copied just by wanting to. It is not easy to create. Song Zhaomei is a successful example due to coincidence and the influence of many factors. Her own talent is one of the important influencing factors, which naturally greatly increases the unreplicability of her creation.

At least, up to now, there is only one successful experimental subject, Song Zhaomei, and no one knows whether it will be successful in the future.

Under such circumstances, Rosalind Miles certainly did not want her only achievement to be destroyed by Coling.

"This is not the kind of card I need."

Ke Ling spoke with such confidence. If it was him who first came to this world, he would definitely not be able to say such words, because he had no choice then, but now he has many choices.

"."

Rosalind Miles shut up and said nothing more. She had already made the suggestion, but it was not adopted. It was Ke Ling's own choice, and it was none of her business even if she regretted it afterwards.

"Are you going to kill her?"

Michiko Arasaka mentioned that she didn't see any need to save the woman, she was just a weapon made by Rosalind Miles, and keeping it secret was more important.

In fact, under normal circumstances, Michiko Arasaka does not have such a strong desire to kill. She is usually easy-going, a good-tempered and humble company leader. But when it comes to the secrets of the Shadow Society, she has to kill whoever needs to be killed, and she cannot have any luck.

Song Zhaomei's expression changed. Oh my god, now she is no longer useful to me? So I can just kill her?

"No, she has other values, values ​​of her own."

Ke Ling shook his head and disagreed with Michiko Arasaka's statement. Song Zhaomei was definitely more valuable than Rosalind Miles. She was much more likely to provide qualities than the President's wife because she had special talents herself.

"Buzz!"

Ke Ling waved his hand, and a drop of blood entered Song Zhaomei's body, and the transformation began. Turning Song Zhaomei into his own was the only way to keep her alive, otherwise, this woman would have to die.

First of all, Ke Ling couldn't possibly let this guy run around. She was a bomb that would threaten Ke Ling's entire plan.

Excluding this, she has also seen too many secrets. No matter how she promises not to leak the secrets, she will not be trusted. Only the dead, those who are dead without leaving any trace, can keep secrets, such as Saburo Arasaka who has turned into ashes.

[Name: Song Zhaomei (special servant)

Abilities: Regeneration, light weakening, pica
Special trait: Genius hacker

【Genius Hacker: Data processing and programming abilities increased by 30%. 】

As expected, Song Zhaomei provided a trait without any surprise, and it was the trait with the highest percentage value that Ke Ling had ever seen. Talent is something that cannot be asked for. Some people are just better at certain things than others.

Song Zhaomei is undoubtedly a top hacker, otherwise she would not have been targeted by the new US Federal Intelligence Agency (FIA) and captured by the FIA ​​at such a young age.

This trait came at a very timely moment, as Ke Ling was just preparing to make up for his shortcomings in hacking. Although it might not be useful in every world, it was still a useful skill.

"One problem has not been solved yet. A bigger problem has been encountered."

Miss Song Zhao was numb. She thought that the erosion of the "black wall" was enough of a headache for her, but now she was transformed into a ghost. This time, her life and death were completely controlled by others.

"Don't worry, since I don't need it, I will naturally help you solve the problem. Just treat it as an employee benefit."

Ke Ling was very decisive. He directly ejected the shadow blade and nailed Song Zhaomei to the shadow wall. Before the three of them could react, the shadow blade had already started cutting Song Zhaomei's body.

Ke Ling had indeed mastered the medical skills very well, and he also had a good grasp of human anatomy, which made the cutting particularly smooth for him. Various modified parts were removed from Song Zhaomei's body, and the entire person was almost cut into pieces by Ke Ling.

Song Zhaomei was in great pain, but she couldn't even scream because her organs wouldn't allow it. But it would be fine soon because her body was recovering and the disassembled parts were returning to normal.

"Boom boom boom!!!"

Outside the shadow wall, the agents were still attacking, but they were actually a bit helpless because the terrain was too restrictive. The small conference room was almost completely occupied by the shadow wall, leaving them only a small area at the door.

As for the blasting, this underground base was originally designed for special military purposes. Its main purpose was to be able to operate even when doomsday came. It could be called an alternative shelter. It was naturally built very solidly. They had no way of using large weapons for blasting and could only keep attacking the door.

Their attacks had no effect on Ke Ling and the others. Song Zhaomei, who had escaped from the pain and regained her human form, had a dull expression on her face. She simply could not imagine what she had just experienced.

"I'm alive?"

Song Zhaomei's consciousness slowly returned. She murmured to herself, and for the first time she intuitively felt what kind of power Ke Ling had bestowed on her.

Of course, Song Zhaomei was not the only one who had this feeling. Rosalind Miles and Michiko Arasaka also looked incredulous. It turned out that the knowledge on paper was not as shocking as seeing it with one's own eyes. Especially for Rosalind Miles, Michiko Arasaka had at least performed a "good show" before, but it was not as shocking as this.

Song Zhaomei really looked like her whole body had been taken apart. Her original equipment was now piled all over the floor. One look at it told you exactly what she had just been through.

"But now we are really free of that damn thing."

Song Zhaomei moved her body. This body seemed like a brand new one. It was made of pure flesh and blood without any metal parts. It even seemed a little unreal to Song Zhaomei.

She has been tortured by that ghost thing all along, and it is getting worse and worse. She has been living in fear of the future. This fear is pushing her from behind, forcing her to do something, making her gradually fall into madness and become psychologically distorted. She can give up everything to get rid of that ghost thing.

Now, although she was put in shackles again, she finally got rid of that ghost thing, and at least her soul would not be devoured.

Ke Ling waved his hand and collected all the parts that Song Zhaomei had "dropped" for future research.

The research data and researchers related to this "Black Wall" project will be subject to the strictest protection and control, and the same applies to the researchers of the "RELIC 2.0" project.

The "Shadow World" will be their new home. They are considered the first human residents. Of course, they have to adapt to the dark environment for the time being. With the help of androids and flesh puppets, researchers led by Anderson Hermann have begun to build residences. They also have ways to dispel the darkness. Generating electricity is indeed very simple in this era.

The entry of humans has brought a lot more light to the shadow world. They have even been studying how to hang a "sun" of their own. These people adapt very quickly, and there is nothing they can do about it because they have no choice but to use their adaptability.

For the world in the 2070s, the "Shadow World" cannot be considered "poor and barren" or difficult to live in. After all, humans have colonized the moon and Mars for a long time and have been building space stations for living for decades.

Compared with the space environment, the "shadow world" is much more habitable, except that there is no light. The existence of artificial light sources nowadays can replace the role of natural light to a certain extent. Future technology has truly made Ke Ling see the gap.

With Arasaka's financial and technical support, human settlement in the "Shadow World" is progressing rapidly and is not far from self-sufficiency. To these researchers, the gap between this and establishing an immigrant space colony does not seem that far.

If you don't leave the light source, you will feel more comfortable than in a space colony. At least you don't need to wear equipment like a space suit.

"It's over now. It's time to deal with these agents outside."

Looking at Rosalind Miles and Song Zhaomei who had initially accepted their roles, Ke Ling removed the shadow barrier that covered the surroundings.

The agents outside the barrier were extremely anxious. When they saw the barrier opened and President Miles was safe and sound, they all breathed a sigh of relief. What they feared most was that the barrier would disappear and only President Miles' body would be left. Then they would be doomed.

They are all Rosalind Miles's confidants, not ordinary bodyguards. If President Miles is killed, their careers will be over, and it is good for them to retire.

"Don't be nervous, the negotiations are over."

Rosalind Miles had regained her original efficiency. She raised her hand to stop the agents from moving.
