I am the king of fighting!

Chapter 244 Seth's Plan

The next day, Busan Yingluo underground base.

"It really is him..."

Seth stood in the laboratory with a gloomy face. The smell of corpses operated by the mental device was lingering. After death, the brainwashed humans would cause irregular decay due to the overactivity of nerves and mental power. The stomach and intestines might even remain active until two or three days after death. The interaction would produce a very special odor. He knew it very well.

Before Vega disappeared, the mental power device inside Yingluo disappeared. After he completely took control of the biochemical weapons department, he was not sure how many people inside had been transformed by the mental power device. Without the mental power device, he had no way of judging. However, he still needed these people to help complete the perfect humanoid weapon, so even if he knew about the internal problems, he could still turn a blind eye.

It seems that he still cannot escape the other party's control. Even the deliberately selected experimenters are controlled by others. Is his struggle expected?

Perhaps the only person he could trust from the beginning was himself.

"Han Zhuli." Seth said without any emotion, "Can I trust you?"

"Of course, my boss."

Han Zhuli leaned against the wall and spoke sincerely, but there was a hint of impatience in her eyes. In fact, she was tired of playing house. It was a bit funny to talk about trusting a clone who had been transformed and lost his sexual characteristics and some emotions.

"I see." Seth sighed softly, "Go and participate in the competition."

As Han Zhuli left, the laboratory gradually became extremely quiet. Under the bright lights, for some reason, his figure looked extremely lonely.

"Want to pay the price for your freedom?"

"It's really ridiculous..."

The numbness in his voice penetrated into his bones, and his blue-silver body reflected a cold light, like a real robot. Without the command from his master, he just stood there motionless.

Until a voice came from the communicator. After he answered it, Lukar Bernstein's face was projected onto the open space, and he said in a low voice: "Is there a problem with the plan?"

"Vega is here to mess things up again." Seth's voice was still calm. "The combat data we have now is enough to complete the plan. There's not much left. How are you handling it?"

The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Lucar, who has been hunting down Vega since Brazil, is the best collaborator even if he has other intentions.

Especially in the operation against Yingluo, this guy is trustworthy.

"All the rebels have been dealt with." Lukar Bernstein showed a cold smile, the red prosthetic in his right eye flashed a strange light, and his silver-white hair swayed in the wind. He said impatiently: "My people have processed all the production lines and are waiting for your combat data model and Feng Shui engine."

What an ambitious guy.

At this moment, Seth began to doubt whether the corpse named 'Yamazaki Ryuji' that he had handed over to the other party when they reached a cooperation agreement was the right choice. Whether it was the changes in hair color, prosthetic eyes, or aura, they all seemed to be two different people.

"Do you think you have a choice?" Lukar Bernstein seemed to see through his thoughts. His smile was full of aggression and he said sarcastically, "You are just a low-quality clone. If you have the opportunity to become a perfect humanoid weapon and cooperate with me, it will be the most glorious moment of your life."

Yeah, I...have no choice.

Seth's emotions fluctuated slightly, but his expression did not change. He just said, "Vega has come to Korea. I know him well. Controlling multiple hypnotized individuals is not that far away..."

"All combat data will be sent to you after today's competition day. The plan is advanced, and all the final weapons will be officially activated tomorrow... Are you sure you can defeat those contestants?"

Lucal Bernstein did not answer, looking at the clone who was also a villain in front of him with contempt. The weak could never understand how powerful he was now with that kind of power. No one could defeat him!

He turned off the projection and looked at the contestants Yuan and Lin Xi with a malicious smile.

"Just let you two get started!"

Seth, who was in the underground base in Busan, didn't think about anything after hanging up the phone. His body was driven by his longing for freedom and hatred and he moved alone in the empty laboratory, connecting multiple tubes for transmitting data and nutrient solution to his body.

In fact, the setting of the final in Seoul was just to confuse the enemy. From the beginning to the end, he wanted to collect sufficient combat data directly in Busan, transform into a perfect humanoid weapon, and start the original plan to simultaneously copy and create a weakened version of his final weapon through the multiple bases conquered by Rugal in Southeast Asia and South Korea.

Capture Lin Xi, whom Vega cares about very much, and force Vega to come out to complete the final revenge and seize power. The Street Fighter competition is not held for fighting data at all. The Yingluo Biochemical Weapons Department has been searching all over the world for more than ten years and has compiled an extremely large fighting database. A Street Fighter competition is insignificant.

The important thing is to let Lin Xi, who is obsessed with honor and competition, arrive in Busan.

This is the plan of the clone named Seth.

Lukar Bernstein was brought in to suppress contestants who showed great strength and to guard against sneak attacks from Vega, which would have left him unable to handle the situation alone.

Originally, Han Zhuli should have been next to the overlord of the future world, but unfortunately...

After Seth pressed the data transmission button, in the supercomputer, all the fighting data from all over the world that Ying Luo had collected over the past decade and all the fighting data collected in this Street Fighter tournament flowed across the big screen like a waterfall and poured into his body.

Looking at the photo of Han Zhuli in the database, there was a hint of hatred in his eyes.

This woman who betrayed him.

Just kill him.

【Lin Xi VS Han Zhuli】

"haven't seen you for a long time."

Lin Xi looked at the woman opposite him with her arms folded across her chest, and said with a smile that, as a time traveler, his understanding of the setting allowed him to fully understand the woman's thoughts, but that had nothing to do with him, and there was a certain difference between reality and games, so he did not try to change other people's minds during his time in Thailand.

"..." Han Zhuli was wearing an eye patch, and her single eye revealed some complicated emotions. She didn't say anything, but after the referee gave the order, she rushed forward. So weak.

Lin Xi frowned. Where is the Feng Shui Engine? Why not use it? Why is she wearing an eye mask in battle? Without the Feng Shui Engine, this girl is only slightly stronger than Lin Yu and Jamie White, and should be on the same level as Crimson Viper. Not to mention defeating Baroque, even Bison can suppress her.

"Bang!" Han Zhuli was knocked flying and fell to the ground in just a moment. She never showed the powerful strength that could continuously suppress the opponent after activating the Feng Shui engine in the previous games.

Now not only Lin Xi was confused, even the audience was in an uproar. The two players who maintained dominance in the game were facing off. It should have been a tit-for-tat showdown, but one of them suddenly failed. It really made people suspect that it was a fixed match.

"Fake greyhounds get out!"

"It's my money!"

“Bitch!!!”

The audience seats were in an uproar. The inevitable part of competitive events is the ubiquitous gambling and the various gamblers, and this is especially true for fighting events.

Han Zhuli, who was under much doubt, paid no attention to the insults and just focused on attacking. After flying out three times in a short period of time, she was already covered with bruises as Lin Xi showed no mercy to her.

After standing up with difficulty for the last time, the blindfold without the straps fell off, revealing dark eye sockets underneath.

No more... Feng Shui engine?

Lin Xi was stunned. What kind of strange plot development was this? In the plot changes he imagined, there was no mention of Han Zhuli suddenly losing the Feng Shui engine. Could it be that Seth or Vega was messing around again?
No, there's also Rugal, the action figure enthusiast, who is also a suspect.

Han Zhuli covered his empty eye sockets with one hand and glanced at the audience member who was shouting the loudest with murderous eyes. The fighter's spirit instantly reduced the noise in the audience by more than half.

"I give up." She said so, then turned and left. This was the only sentence she said the whole time.

Lin Xi watched Han Zhuli gradually walk away, feeling a little complicated. Does this girl's change mean that the competition is going to be in trouble again? It's a bit strange. Can't we just wait until he wins the championship before those B people jump out to cause trouble?

He left the venue reluctantly, thinking about the many twists and turns in the future King of Fighters tournament, as well as the Hong Kong Fighting Tournament that he himself had organized but was interrupted by the explosion. He was speechless for a moment.

"I've decided. When there's a chance, I must hold a global character fighting competition where no one interrupts or causes trouble."

"I've decided on KOF. After I go to America and take over the Howard Consortium, I'm going to find a chance to personally host KOF and become the King of Fighters!"

Lin Xi returned to the lounge and was still secretly grumbling. He was really fed up with this kind of competition full of conspiracies and intrigues. The purest competition was actually the first Street Fighter. Isn't that ridiculous?

The eleventh day of competition is approaching the end of the entire preliminary round. Everyone can see who will advance and who is destined to be eliminated.

On the scoreboard, the only person who has maintained an undefeated record is Lin Xi. Before that, there was also Han Zhuli, but unfortunately she also suffered her first defeat today.

Apart from the two of them, the ones with the best chance of advancing are Long and Zangief. Yuan just fought for fun and never used his full strength, not even using his vent. Ken was seriously injured and missed two days, so his points were directly pulled down. Judging from his injury, it will be difficult for him to recover by the end of the preliminary round, so he is likely to be eliminated.

Among the remaining people, the one who has some competitiveness is Baroque. This guy defeated all the weak opponents by bullying, and also got one point from Yuan and Kusanagi Shibafu. He only lost to Ken and Han Zhuli. He has not met Lin Xi yet, so there is some suspense.

But no normal person would think that he can defeat the big devil.

After the game, Lin Xi, Lin Yu and Mai Zhuoweisi were on their way back to the hotel when Rose suddenly blocked their way.

"Mr. Lin, would it be convenient for us to chat alone?" the long-haired mature beauty asked politely.

"You go back first." Lin Xi patted Lin Yu's little head. He was not worried that the two secretaries would run away. After he left their scent behind, they could not escape at all. What's more, Yuan was still in Busan. If these two women made the slightest movement, they would be killed on the spot.

After the three girls left, Rose turned over a deck of tarot cards and asked mysteriously, "Mr. Lin, do you want to do a divination?"

"You don't want to talk to me about something so meaningless, do you?" Lin Xi asked back, "If it's something as meaningless as divination, I'll go back and rest."

He is not interested in divination or fortune-telling at all. He believes that character determines destiny. Divination and fortune-telling are too metaphysical. Even if this is a fantasy world, it does not mean that he has to believe in these things.

Instead of being obsessed with numerology, you might as well work hard to become stronger and let your own hands decide your own destiny.

"Okay." Rose showed a helpless expression. She hit a wall before she could even start talking. It was really a headache. She controlled the soul power in the direction of love and hope, which was a spiritual attribute completely different from Vega's.

To be precise, Vega and she were from the same school, both inheritors of love and hope, but Vega fell into darkness and evil for power...

But the painful thing is that her inheritance is obviously the correct one, but her power is far inferior to that of the evil Vega.

Tarot divination actually represents a display of the diviner's spiritual attributes and desires. Through spiritual induction and using Tarot cards to judge spiritual attributes and desires, predictions about the future can be made. As an outstanding Tarot diviner, she can even do it with only twenty-two Major Arcana cards and the diviner's consent. With these two simple elements, she can grasp a lot of information about the diviner.

That's why she developed the habit of asking everyone if they wanted divination. With her beauty and figure, there are very few people who can refuse her. Unfortunately, she met Lin Xi, a blockhead, so she could only accept the defeat.

Rose turned her palm down again, and her palm was empty again. She said sternly: "Mr. Lin, do you know that you are in great danger?"

Do you want to listen to what you are saying?
Lin Xi looked at the woman opposite him speechlessly. His words sounded exactly like those of many fortune tellers in Temple Street on Hong Kong Island. They started talking about huge dangers and then talked about how to resolve them and how to solve them for a fee. If he didn't know this woman's background, he would probably have already arrived at the hotel.

Rose's cheeks turned red as she was stared at. She coughed dryly and said, "Please believe me, there is a huge conspiracy behind this competition held by Yingluo. Through detection, I found that it must be related to you, Mr. Lin..."
