Please call me CyberGhost King

Chapter 455 Mad Scientist

Sevika and his subordinates were relieved by Hilko's surrender. They were really worried that their stubborn and paranoid boss would confront this mysterious powerful man.

But now it seems that there is nothing wrong with their boss's brain. Facing this mysterious strong man, their boss chose to surrender. This is not shameful, but rather saved their lives.

A man who knows the times is a hero. If you know you can't win, then just endure it, especially if the other party's goal is the same as yours, then there is no need for them to fight to the death with the other party.

"Everyone, get up."

Ke Ling spoke, and all the people from Hillco knelt on the ground. No one dared to stand up. They didn't move until he spoke.

Everyone had regained control of their bodies. After hearing Ke Ling's words, they all stood up and felt a little uneasy, obviously not yet adapted to the current situation.

"My Lord, what should we do?"

Hilco stood up and asked Ke Ling. After accepting the reality, his heart was filled with surging emotions.

Hilko felt that with this lord's strength, he could easily kill his way through Zaun and Piltover, and completely end the rule of Piltover and the Alchemy Barons over Zaun.

Those guys certainly couldn't stop this adult. After all, they had already lost their will to fight just by facing this adult.

"Take me to see Singed first. He's here with you, right?"

Ke Ling was not in a hurry, he just asked.

"Singed? Yes, he is indeed here."

Hilco was stunned. He didn't expect that this adult actually knew Singed, and seemed to be very interested in Singed.

"Let's go."

Ke Ling didn't say much and just gestured for Hilco to lead the way.

"Yes, my lord."

Hilco did not hesitate. Although he was very curious, he did not ask too many questions. Instead, he took Ke Ling directly to find Singed.

Sevika followed the two of them, while the others stayed where they were and waited.

Ke Ling glanced at Sevika, but didn't care that she was following him. This woman was indeed courageous. She followed him even without being asked to do so, and faithfully fulfilled her mission to protect Hilko.

Sevika is indeed a very flesh-and-blood character. For the sake of her ideals, she betrayed Vander and came to Hilco. Because she firmly believed that Hilco was the right one, she would do her best to protect Hilco's safety, even at the cost of an arm.

Sevika is a true "Zauan" daughter who is loyal to her ideals. Of course, she also has problems, the same problems as Hilko. They are too extreme and too chauvinistic.

However, the fact that Zaun has produced so many extreme people who hate Piltover is not Zaun's own fault.

All we can say is that the people of "Piltover" reaped what they sowed. Given the dire situation of "Zaan", it is very normal that so many people would fight "Piltover" even if it means death.

Under the leadership of Hilco, Ke Ling and his team came to a laboratory after many twists and turns. This laboratory was in the "sewer area", next to the sewer sewage river, and was built based on the complex pipes and sewers of "Zaan". This was Singed's laboratory.

Here, Ke Ling met the crazy "alchemist".

"Dr. Colin Leveque."

Ke Ling called out Singed's real name.

"."

The figure in the laboratory turned around. This figure was haggard, even a little scary. The right half of his face seemed to be burned, and the lower half of his face was covered with a black scarf. He was wearing very simple clothes.

"Silco, who is this?"

Singed first looked at Ke Ling, and then at Hilco. He thought that this person was brought by Hilco. This was not wrong, but the main point was wrong. It was Ke Ling who asked Hilco to bring him here.

"This is Lord Ke Ling, the one I serve with allegiance."

Hilco introduced Ke Ling, and this statement changed Singed's expression, with obvious surprise in his eyes.

"Hilco, target of allegiance, what are you doing?"

Singed was indeed puzzled. He knew that Hilco had worked with Vandel before, but hadn't he become independent and worked on his own now?

He has already taken out the "Glimmer". Even if the "Glimmer" is just a failed product, the monsters created by this thing should be enough to help Hilco expand his power in "Zaan". Why has he pledged allegiance to others before he has even started expanding?
Singed was completely puzzled. He thought that Hilco came to him to ask for more "Glimmer Reagent", but he got such news.

"Master Ke Ling is very interested in you and your experiments."

Hilco did not explain, but spoke.

"."

At this point, Singed understood. This was to reassure him that even if Hilco pledged allegiance to Lord Keling, he would not stop funding his experiments, because Lord Keling was also very interested in his research.

"What do you want, my lord?"

Singed changed his mind. He stopped worrying about Hilco's affairs and started talking to this new "potential sponsor".

For Singed, Silko is not important. All he needs is someone who is willing to sponsor him. Even without Silko, he can still have Dong'erko, Nan'erko, and Bei'erko.

Therefore, for him, Hillco's loyalty to Lord Ke Ling would not affect him at all, as long as Lord Ke Ling was willing to support his career. He only cared about his experiment.

He threw aside everything, including his conscience, morality, and bottom line, and committed all these crimes for one goal, which was due to his deep love for his daughter and his obsession with saving her.

"It's not what I need, but what can you bring to me?"

Ke Ling smiled and said, "Don't ask me what I want, but think about what you can bring to me."

".Glimmer reagent?"

Singed was silent for a moment, then spoke.

He felt that for these "ambitious people", the "Glimmer Reagent" must be very attractive. After all, this thing could bring great help. The monsters created by the "Glimmer Reagent" were not something that everyone could fight against.

"This thing is very ordinary." Ke Ling shook his head. He did not need this "Glimmer Reagent". This thing was not of much help to him because he had many things that could replace it, and they were better than this one and did not have the side effects of the "Glimmer Reagent".

"."

Singed was silent. He had never expected that Lord Ke Ling did not need the "Glimmer Reagent". This was not right.
Logically speaking, as long as he takes out this "Glimmer Reagent", all the "Alchemy Barons" will fight for it. Singed is confident that even if this "Glimmer Reagent" is just a defective product, its effect is already powerful enough.

"If you don't need the glimmer reagent, then I don't have anything else."

Singed was very decisive at that time. The only bargaining chip he could take out now was the "Glimmer Reagent", which he had taken out in advance to deal with Hilco, and it was still a long way from being truly completed.

His goal is to revive his daughter, but relying on this "glimmer reagent" is obviously not feasible, because people who use the "glimmer reagent" now will have symptoms of addiction, and if they use too much at one time, they will directly turn into a crazy beast.

No matter how kind-hearted Singed is, he can't use this thing to treat his daughter.

“What is your research for?”

Ke Ling took a few steps and glanced at Singed's laboratory. To be honest, it was very simple and the experimental conditions were quite difficult.

“To heal.”

Singed answered in a low voice.

"Cure what?"

Ke Ling then asked.

"die."

Singed answered calmly, and it was obvious that he was very serious.

"."

Both Hilco and Sevika remained silent. In fact, neither of them believed that Singed could succeed. Hilco supported his experiment because Singed promised to help him and create something that could help him.

Saving his daughter through alchemical experiments and looking for a way to cure death through crazy experiments are obviously not realistic things in the eyes of normal people.

“Very thoughtful.”

Ke Ling nodded. Singed and Jiana Mingbo were very similar. One used alchemical technology to conduct various experiments in order to resurrect his daughter, and the other used Rc cells to conduct various experiments in order to resurrect his mother. The experiments they conducted were all crazy and morally corrupt.

"Are you willing to continue supporting my experiment? The Glimmer Reagent is only a semi-finished product, a defective product. As long as my experiment continues, I will definitely be able to perfect it and create a real potion that can defeat death. The Glimmer is just the beginning of everything."

Singed continued to speak, trying to convince Ke Ling. He could see that Ke Ling did not sneer at his experiment.

This attitude is actually very rare. Even Hilco felt that his experimental goals were obviously unrealistic after hearing them.

And this Lord Ke Ling seemed to really believe that he could do it.

This is why Singed wanted to persuade Ke Ling to continue supporting him. He was very happy that someone actually agreed with his approach.

“I can continue to support that.”

Ke Ling nodded. He was indeed very interested in this matter. He wanted to see whether Singed would succeed or not in the end.

It is not difficult to make a dead body stand up and start moving again. It is even possible to make a dead body regain its memory and personality. These are all things that RC cells can do.

Kano Akihiro has been very far ahead in this matter. Of course, his approach has certain limitations. It must be people who have died recently, and it also requires regular maintenance. If it is not maintained regularly, it will quickly decline.

Ke Ling knew that Singed had finally succeeded in "resurrecting" his daughter, but whether the resurrected individual was his daughter remained to be discussed.

According to Ke Ling's understanding, "Clockwork Enchantress" Orianna has actually lost her memory. She doesn't remember anything about her father, or even the past.

However, the starting point of the story is different now. Whether this new version of "Clockwork Enchantress" Orianna will suffer from amnesia like before is still an unknown because it is not shown in the show.

But Ke Ling personally is more inclined to believe that he will still suffer amnesia. After all, everyone has been tortured so badly, but Singed, who developed technology behind the scenes and harmed many people, got a happy ending. This is obviously a very ironic thing.

So from a dramatic point of view, and from the perspective of cause and effect, Ke Ling felt that Singed's experimental results would not be so perfect. His daughter Orianna, who was finally resurrected, would definitely have problems, and losing her memory was a big problem.

"thank you for your support."

Singed didn't know what Ke Ling was thinking, and didn't know that Ke Ling actually wanted to see whether he would fail in the end. He expressed his gratitude to Ke Ling and thanked Ke Ling for supporting his experiment.

"You're welcome, but you definitely can't continue here. You have to go to my territory. I will give you a better experimental environment and facilities, and there will be a bunch of scientists in various fields for you to communicate with."

Ke Ling spoke up, which surprised Singed a little, but he didn't really want to accept it, because he was very free here, and he didn't want to be taken into a cage and become a prisoner.

"Buzz!"

The "Gate of Shadows" opens, and the android maids come out. They will cooperate with Singed to move to the "Shadow City".

Ke Ling would definitely not do such a thing as using innocent people for experiments, but he could accept using guilty people for experiments. This was not called a sin, it was called making use of waste.

And in the "Shadow City", there are as many such guilty people as one wants, and several worlds can provide a steady supply.

Although Ke Ling is working hard to make the world he controls a better place, and trying to have a strong central government to unify resource allocation and be as fair and just as possible.

But this kind of thing cannot be accomplished overnight, and evil cannot be eradicated quickly. There are still many criminals. Not to mention criminals, there are even some rebels, and there are those who dare to rise up against the central government established by Ke Ling.

Therefore, there will always be a shortage of death row prisoners, and those used for experiments in Shadow City are actually a very small part.

"."

Ke Ling’s strength left Singed with no choice but to accept reality.

Just before, Singed was still thinking about releasing a few "Glimmer Monsters" to directly kill the new boss of Hillco, but after seeing Ke Ling's methods, he backed down in his heart. This was an ability he completely did not understand.

Moreover, Singed is a scientist. He does not like fighting and does not have any professional combat ability. He does not want to cause conflicts if he can avoid them. So he can just move to another place as long as he can continue his experiments.

Singed took out a pocket watch with a photo of a blonde girl in it. This was his daughter Orianna. At the same time, the pocket watch was also a key.
