Chapter 271 The Final reckoning

Chapter 271 The Final reckoning (The End)

“Deep-seated racism controls your lives and deprives you of your freedom.”

"Behind the world, there is a secret organization known as the Organization, which secretly controls everything. For decades, it has controlled the entire Federation. Now, it's time to expose it!"

Irina delivered a passionate speech in front of the screen.

Number 2 looked at Irina on the TV screen, clutched his chest, and suffered a heart attack.

The doctor immediately administered the special medicine to patient number 2.

Just as Number 2 was starting to feel better after taking the medication, he heard Irina reveal on television that he was the leader of the organization behind the scenes.

This triggered a second bout of angina on patient number 2.

"Increase the dosage!"

Not all cabinet members are part of the organization; those who aren't even aware of its existence are completely unaware of its existence. After hearing Irina's speech, they all turned their attention to Number 2.

Judging from his behavior, it's hard not to believe what Irina said.

Next, the television screen switched to footage of the organization's top decision-making body holding a meeting inside the grotto, which was a video of a conspiracy to take over Greyray Pharmaceutical's shares.

This immediately reminded everyone of the Greyray Pharmaceuticals building explosion.

The evidence Irina released went far beyond this; it exposed almost all the high-profile classified events at once, including instigating wars, assassinating celebrities and billionaires, the assassination of Kennedy, framing others, and so on...

The entire Federation was instantly in an uproar.

Now, no one, not even God, can suppress it.

Finally, Irina uploaded a list of all the organization's agents, including those from the European organization, to the internet.

Having done all this, Irina, who possessed Level 10 organizational privileges, initiated the self-destruct program for all of the organization's secret bases around the world.

As the countdown to self-destruction began in various locations, agents within each base were also put into escape mode.

The moment the countdown ended, decades of effort and accumulation by the organization were all in vain.

Upon learning that all of the organization's secret bases had been destroyed, Number 2 slumped into a chair, his eyes glazed over, and remained stunned for a long time.

Suddenly, Number 2 roared, "Get out! All of you, get out!"

Number 2 is still ZT, after all, and the cabinet members left the office one by one.

The group stood in the corridor, divided into two groups: one of the organized members and the other of the unorganized members. The two sides, who usually had a fairly good relationship, were now watching each other warily.

Inside the office.

Number 2 looked up at Norton listlessly:

Didn't you hear what I said?

Norton closed the office door, turned around, and looked at Number 2:
"I heard."

"Then why don't you get out of here?"

"Hehe~" Norton laughed.

Number 2 narrowed his eyes slightly, a fierce glint in his eyes:
“I told you to keep an eye on Irina, and this is how you’ve been keeping an eye on her…”

"I am so sorry!"

Norton looked apologetic, but a sly smile crept across his face.

He walked slowly to the desk, looked at Number 2 who was pale-faced, gently placed a pistol in front of Number 2, and then turned and walked out.

Number 2 glanced at the silver pistol on the desk, then abruptly looked up at Norton's retreating figure, stammering, "You...you also..."

Norton paused slightly.

Number 2 murmured, "Project Osebia, you all come from Project Osebia..."

Norton, with his back to Number 2, gave a disdainful smile, opened the door, and left the office.

Only now did he realize that all of this was that woman's plan.

Haha~
Number 2 started grinning foolishly.

"why?"

"Why it came out like this?"

"Asmodeus, is this what you wanted to see later?"

"Or is it...that woman..."

Number 2 shook his head with a wry smile.

As a member of the Asmodeus system, he personally assisted Number One in establishing the organization, and all of that has been reduced to ashes today.

Number 2 slowly picked up the pistol that Norton had left on the table.

outside the office.

All the cabinet members looked toward Norton, who was the last to emerge.

suddenly!

A gunshot rang out from inside the office.

Cabinet members who remained loyal to the organization rushed to their offices.

The moment the door opened, a horrifying scene came into view: the once high and mighty "king" was leaning back in his swivel chair, the white wall behind him stained red with blood.

Norton raised his pistol behind these people.

Bang bang bang bang bang——

A series of gunshots rang out inside the white house.

None of the Secret Service agents nearby intervened.

DHS Commissioner Smith approached Norton and reported:

“We have taken full control of this place, and all of the organization’s secret agents have been eliminated.”

With that, Smith handed the bloodstained black nuclear key case to Norton.

Norton took out his phone and held it to his ear:

“A-Hound, No. 2, No. 4 and No. 5 are all dead. I have taken control of the White House.”

"Understood! When?"

"Okay, I'll contact the Navy right away and send a Virginia-class nuclear submarine to pick you up now."

"OK! Don't worry, I'll handle the rest..."

"Yes! We succeeded!"

After hanging up the phone, Norton walked out of the White House, stood alone on the lawn, looked up at the sky, and murmured, "Mother, I have avenged you. The organization is destroyed, your wish has been fulfilled..."

……

Manhattan, New York.

A barrage of gunfire erupted inside the Fox News building.

Alisa led her secret forces in a fierce firefight with New Hope agents and members of the Hellhounds on the scene.

Irina looked at Roy: "She's here..."

Roy clenched his fists so tightly they cracked, and drew the pistol from his waist.

Irina grabbed Roy's wrist: "Just leave it to Hellhound."

“I must execute her myself…” Roy said coldly.

“R-Hound will bring her to you. This isn’t over yet, and you can’t afford any mishaps,” Irina said to Roy.

"The organization has collapsed, the top decision-making level has been almost entirely wiped out, and the remaining members will be hunted down forever. The list of the organization's agents has also been exposed. Is it still not over?" Roy looked surprised.

Irina shook her head: "Yes!"

The gunfire gradually subsided.

The elevator door opens.

Revolver R and E carried Alisa, whose face was covered in blood, out of the elevator.

Revolver R, having reached Roy and Irina, threw the half-dead Alisa in front of Roy.

Alisa struggled to lift her head and look at Roy and Irina.

Roy took a step forward, pressed Alisa's head down, and said coldly, "I didn't go looking for you, but you came to my door instead. That saves me a lot of trouble."

"kill me!"

After saying that, Alisa turned to Irina: "So you're the Guardian Organization's number one. I really underestimated you."

Irina kicked Alisa in the chest, sending him flying three meters away: "You killed all of our mothers. If it weren't for the need to completely destroy the organization, I would have torn you to pieces long ago!"

New Hope still has spies within the KGB. After Irina discovered that Alisa was one of the masterminds, she had the opportunity to kill her, but chose to remain silent for the time being in order to avoid being exposed.

Upon hearing Irina utter the word "Mother," Roy turned to look at Irina.

“Kill her, and I’ll explain…” Irina said.

Taking a deep breath, Roy walked up to Alisa and, in front of all the Hellhounds, crushed Alisa's head.

"let's go!"

Irina led the group toward the elevator.

Confused, Ma Hong and Jonathan each kicked Alisa's headless corpse before quickly following.

The group arrived at the top floor, where two helicopters were circling overhead.

Revolver R ignites a signal flare.

The first helicopter slowly landed on the helipad.

Roy, Mahone, and Jonathan followed Irina onto the first helicopter. After takeoff, the second helicopter landed, and the Hellhound team members quickly followed on the second helicopter.

The two helicopters flew straight out to sea.

About ten minutes later, the helicopter hovered over the sea.

Despite the deafening noise from the helicopter rotors, Roy shouted, "Where are we going now?"

Irina pointed down.

A nuclear submarine surfaced.

Irina lowered the rappelling rope and shouted, "Follow me!"

After saying that, she was the first to descend.

Roy followed closely behind.

Then came Mahone and Jonathan.

After everyone on both helicopters had safely landed on the nuclear submarine, the two helicopters flew away.

The hatch opened, and Serena leaned out halfway and waved to Roy.

Everyone boarded the submarine.

The captain approached Irina and saluted: "Madam, I am Captain James. This nuclear submarine is now under your command."

Irina handed Captain James a coordinate: "Take us here."

"Yes!"

The sailors led everyone to the rest area.

Here, Roy saw Eileen.

They rushed forward, and the brother and sister embraced tightly.

Serena came to Irina's side and said, "My mission is complete."

Irina smiled slightly.

After a long silence, Roy released Eileen and turned to Irina: "Tell me, what does 'Mother' mean? What's going on?"

The members of the Hellhound unit standing around burst into laughter.

R-Hound said with a smile, "Roy, your mother is also our mother."

All the Hellhound members nodded and smiled.

Roy looked around and finally fixed his gaze on Irina.

Irina said, "It was Eva Li, your mother, who gave us new life. Without her protection, some of us would have died long ago. There are many strong people in Project Osebia, and surviving to the end depends on luck."

Roy nodded slightly.

Revolver R continued, "We all respectfully call her Mother. Without her care and secret protection, who dares to say they could have made it to the end?"

The entire Cerberus crew burst into laughter, their faces showing shame. "What about Charlotte?" Roy asked, puzzled.

“He’s an anomaly. His mother knew his nature from a very young age, so among the survivors, he was the only one who wasn’t cared for. He survived to the end by virtue of his cunning and treachery. Later, they found an excuse to send him to the European organization. Another person who went to the European organization was codenamed X. His main task was to monitor that kid Charlotte,” Revolver R said.

“I see…” Roy looked at Irina, “Where do we go now?”

“To fulfill my mother’s last wish,” Irina said.

"Last wish?"

Irina nodded: "Yes, back then, the 11 founders of the system created AI Tate together, which is the foundation for ensuring the stable operation of the Asmodeus system."

"AI? Tate?"

Irina asked, "Do you remember how the organization issues missions?"

Roy nodded.

Irina explained, "The vast majority of these assassination missions are issued by AI Tate; the organization is merely the executor. Tate obtains a large amount of information about individuals through the organization's database and the internet. It analyzes the behavior of individuals to determine whether they pose a threat to the existing order. If it determines that there is a threat, it will issue an assassination order."

"So, the organization has to listen to AI?" Roy asked.

“At least in terms of eliminating threatening targets, yes. However, the organization also has its own judgment, and the highest decision-making level can also do something based on its own judgment,” Irina said.

Where is Tate?

"On the seabed of Hudson Bay in Canada."

"Since you knew its location, why wait until now to destroy it?"

"The area around Hudson Bay is riddled with the organization's hidden sentries, and the seabed is equipped with a vast number of dynamic sensors. As long as there is the slightest abnormality on the seabed, the organization will know. Only by completely destroying the organization can we have a chance to destroy Tate. Moreover..."

"what?"

“Besides, activating the underwater base and initiating the self-destruct sequence will require you and her.” As she spoke, Irina turned to look at Eileen.

"Me and Eileen?"

Irina nodded: "Yes, the activation key is the living DNA information of both of you. The system will detect your vital signs. Activating the self-destruct program also requires both of you to be free from threats and to willingly agree. During the process, the system will ask and detect your brainwaves and heart rate."

“I know you’re full of questions, Roy. Your father, Jacob, has the highest authority in Tate. After you and Eileen were born, he bound the key to the self-destruct program to both of you.”

Roy asked, "There's something I've never understood. Since the Asmodeus system, the organization, and this AI Tate were all created by my father, why would he destroy the very things he created?"

Irina: "It wasn't your father who wanted to destroy the system, it was our common mother. The reason why those old guys at the highest decision-making level of the organization think that Jacob wanted to destroy all of this is because we are misleading them. The predecessor of New Hope was the Guardians, which was actually completely controlled by Mother long ago. Of course, it was us brothers and sisters. The only thing we are loyal to is Mother."

“Why would she want to destroy the whole system?” Roy asked.

"To stop the killing, for world peace, for the natural and healthy development of the world, to give all ordinary people a chance, for freedom!" Irina stared into Roy's eyes. "This is your mother's noblest ideal, the noblest ideal of everyone here, and the last wish of K and N..."

“I understand. I will initiate the self-destruct program myself.” Roy said, looking at Eileen.

Having regained some of her memories, Eileen blinked her big eyes and nodded.

Irina smiled with relief.

All the members of the Hellhounds laughed.

Sixteen hours later, the nuclear submarine successfully arrived at Hudson Bay and reached the coordinates.

The sailors helped Roy and Eileen put on fully enclosed pressure-resistant diving suits.

Irina said to Roy, "Only the two of you can enter the Tate base. Once an unauthorized person is detected entering, the defense system will immediately release highly corrosive nerve gas and seal all isolation doors. So we can't go in with you. We'll wait for you to come back here."

Roy nodded.

The sailors opened the watertight hatch and helped Roy and Eileen inside.

The hatch is closed, and water injection begins.

On the other side, Irina and Serena waved to Roy through the window...

Soon, the rising water level submerged Roy and Eileen.

Pressurization begins.

After the internal and external pressures are balanced, the hatch leading to the outside is opened.

Roy helped Eileen walk outside.

After leaving the submarine, the two slowly sank.

At a depth of 120 meters, Roy landed on his feet.

He supported Eileen firmly, and using the bright light overhead as their guide, they walked towards the raised rock face ahead.

There was a cave in the rock wall, and the two of them entered.

Deep inside the cave, Roy found the air pocket that Irina had mentioned.

The two surfaced, and Roy climbed onto the flat rock first, then pulled Eileen out of the water. Following the air pocket deeper into the depths, they walked about twenty meters until a massive metal door appeared before them.

Suddenly, the metal door opened to both sides, and white lights came on inside.

Inside the metal door was a room.

Irina said that this is a pressure balancing chamber.

Roy helped Eileen inside, supporting her arm.

After the two entered, the outer door closed automatically.

The yellow warning light started flashing.

A notification sound plays:
"Balancing the pressure..."

Less than a minute later, the notification sounded again:

"Pressure equalization complete. Enterors, please verify your DNA information. If verification is not completed within 30 seconds, the defense system will be activated. Countdown begins..."

Roy quickly took off his heavy pressure helmet and unscrewed his pressure gloves. He went to the testing platform and pressed his index finger into the circular area. A thin needle pierced the skin of Roy's index finger.

A moment later, a notification sounded:
"Live DNA verification passed, welcome Roy von Weizsäcker."

The inner door leading to the base opened.

Roy helped Eileen remove her heavy pressure-resistant diving suit.

A little scared, Eileen clung tightly to Roy's arm.

The Tate base is very large, and the various equipment inside looks very old and outdated. The display screens are like those from the last century, and the massive server units stretch as far as the eye can see.

Roy approached the console and blew away some of the dust that was clinging to it.

They reached out and gently pressed a flat area on the control panel. The metal casing flipped up, revealing the identity verification device inside.

Use the same method to press with your index finger.

"Authentication successful..."

"Roy von Weizsäcker".

Suddenly, a metal plate beneath Roy's feet bounced upwards.

Roy pulled Eileen and they took a sudden step back.

I crouched down, lifted the metal cover, and there was a metal box inside.

Roy carefully took out the box.

Thankfully, nothing unexpected happened.

The metal box was locked with a three-digit mechanical combination lock.

Roy tried entering the number 818.

click-

The mechanical combination lock popped open.

really……

Inside the box was a family photo and a letter.

In the photo, Jacob's head has been slashed off with a razor blade.

Roy frowned slightly, opened the envelope, and took out the letter inside.

The letter was handwritten in Chinese, which Roy recognized; it was his mother's handwriting.

……

Roy—

By the time you read this letter, I should already be gone.

Mom will always be watching over you and Eileen from heaven.

Always believe in yourself!

Eileen—

You will always be your mother's most beloved daughter.

Whatever your brother wants to do, you must support him unconditionally.

Mom loves you!

Roy, the fact that you got here proves that you've come to your senses.

I know you still have many questions in your heart.

Mom will answer all your questions.

To understand the basic operating logic of the Asmodeus system, you must first understand what entropy is. Entropy increase is the core concept of the second law of thermodynamics, which means that the entropy (disorder) of an isolated system always tends to increase, eventually reaching thermodynamic equilibrium (the state of maximum entropy).

Entropy increase is the process of order changing into disorder.

Entropy reduction refers to the process by which a system transforms from a disordered state to an ordered state.

High entropy means chaos, while low entropy means order.

The Asmodeus system aims to ensure the stable operation of the entire Western world in an orderly manner.

The core purpose of the entire system is to control and reduce entropy.

It is precisely because of the existence of systems that control and reduce entropy that the Western world has been able to develop steadily and orderly.

I once used Tate to simulate the future of the Western world under conditions of increasing entropy. It was an extremely chaotic world, with demons and monsters running rampant, zombies everywhere, and the mentally challenged gradually taking control of the government. The system collapsed, and America entered a period of great recession.

My task and mission is to destroy the steady and orderly development of the Western world under the rule of the Anglo-Swiss Group.

Do you understand, my child?

This is the goal I have strived for my entire life.

I saved your biological father countless times, I helped him kill other founders, I suggested he form the Guardians, and I personally devised and executed the Osebia Plan.

In this way, even if I die, they will still work tirelessly to destroy the existing world order for the sake of the free world I described to them.

This is something I planted deep in their subconscious.

However, there's one thing I didn't expect: Jacob would use your and Erin's DNA as the key to activate the Tate self-destruct program, which forced me to bring you and Erin into the plan.

Here, Mom apologizes to both of you. I'm sorry.

By the way, your Chinese name is Li Luoyi.

Because my mother's surname is Li.

Goodbye!

……

Seeing this, Roy was already in tears.

"I always thought Irina was the mastermind behind everything, but I never imagined you were the one..."

"Li Ailin, let's destroy it together!"

Li Ailin nodded vigorously: "Mom said in the letter that whatever you do, I will support you unconditionally."

Li Luoyi and Li Ailin placed their index fingers on their respective DNA verifiers and then underwent a system security inquiry.

"warn!"

"Self-destruct sequence has been initiated and cannot be canceled..."
