Odd Containment Specialist.

Chapter 690 Lin Tiandong's Cowardice (4K)

"Su Yue, the captain asked me to convey the following words to you." Xiao Zuo said.

Su Yue looked at the other person in surprise.

She didn't expect that Lin Tiandong actually had something to say for her. She thought that Lin Tiandong had already said what he wanted to say before the war started.

Before the war, Lin Tiandong held her parents hostage and had absolute initiative. He also made her listen to a lot of complaints. But were there any messages that needed to be conveyed through other people?
"What did he say?" Su Yue asked.

Xiao Zuo blinked, and the last conversation between him and the captain came to his mind.

……

……

"Xiao Zuo, because of the existence of S God's Law, I can only tell one of you the place I know about."

The battle was about to begin, but Lin Tiandong called her to the other side of the road, while Xiao You and Su Yue's parents were on the other side of the road.

Xiao Zuo followed Lin Tiandong, walked to the traffic light and stopped.

Lin Tiandong looked quietly at the night sky illuminated by the fire and sighed softly.

In this city, roars and loud noises were heard everywhere, and the air was filled with an unsettling atmosphere of abnormality.

"I don't know if we can get through this safely. I hope not too many people die." His tone was calm, and his emotions were unusually stable compared to recent times.

Xiao Zuo knew that the "we" Lin Tiandong was referring to was not them, but the Control Bureau.

Even though they have betrayed the Control Bureau, they still stubbornly identify with their own identities in their hearts. Half of it comes from the Control Bureau, and the other half comes from the owners of those relics.

Xiao Zuo looked at Xiao You and Su Zhengyi standing opposite him and said softly, "Captain, can't we just go back?
Didn’t Yi Lei already tell you that method in advance?

Why do we have to fight Su Yue?"

She didn't want to betray the Bureau, and she knew the captain didn't want to betray the Bureau either. The betrayal was just a helpless act to save the captain's mother. But now that she had got what she wanted, why should she continue to work for that person?

Could it be that some kind of contract or ceremony was established?

Even if such a contract and ceremony are established, it is not necessary to go to war. At least you can ask. Maybe the control bureau has a way to solve it, and then there will be no need for fighting.

Is it because she can't say it? It doesn't matter if she can't say it. As long as the other party gives her a look, she will understand. She has the confidence that she can see what Lin Tiandong is thinking!

However, Lin Tiandong smiled faintly and looked a little happy.

He glanced at Xiao Zuo and said:

“Because only Yi Lei can do it, and he promised me to bring Su Yue over, so that he can help me turn my mother back to her original state.

But I don’t want to think about it anymore. That path won’t work. What Yi Lei saved with his method was not my mother at all. It was just a thing with the same body and memory as my mother… just like Yi Lei now.”

Xiao Zuo was stunned.

She chewed over this sentence several times in her mind before digesting its meaning.

The captain has given up?!

Although this meant that the captain's wish could not be realized, Xiao Zuo felt a little secretly happy in his heart, because this meant that they had no reason to continue fighting with their colleagues in the Control Bureau, and they could go back!
"So we are going to..."

"No, I still want to fight Su Yue." Lin Tiandong said.

Xiao Zuo's heart sank, and he asked in surprise, "Why?"

“Xiao Zuo, Xiao You doesn’t know the S God Law, but you do, so I’m telling you these things.

Because the information is incomplete and the number of secrets is constant, if I don't tell Su Yue those things, then in the end she will definitely become Yi Lei's sacrifice.

But if I told Su Yue those secrets, then at that moment I would no longer be their companion, because in my logic, the reason to return to the Control Bureau would no longer exist.

This secret is the reason why I gave up trying to save my mother. If I lose this secret, I will have no reason to go back. If I keep the reason, Su Yue will be destined to become Yi Lei's sacrifice."

"It's okay! Xia Shou will definitely find a way!" Xiao Zuo brought up Xia Shou.

But in fact, in her heart, she doesn't care about Su Yue. Although Su Yue is also a companion of the Control Bureau, if she has to choose between Lin Tiandong and Su Yue, she will definitely choose Lin Tiandong.

There are differences between close and distant relatives, isn’t it the case for everyone?
Didn’t the captain betray the Control Bureau just to save his mother?
"Xia Shou can't do everything. Even a skilled cook cannot cook without rice. If this secret is not told, no one can do it. If it is told, then I will no longer be their partner." Lin Tiandong said, "So I decided that I will be their enemy and Su Yue's whetstone."

"Captain, what are you talking about?!"

“Xiao Zuo, thank you, but my life as a human being has ended today. I have no future, but that child can continue to be a human being, and that is what I want to see.

How sad it would be if a soul was born into the world and walked the world not because of its own will, but under the manipulation of innate desires.

People should be free, and the feelings between people should override instinct. The fact that you stay with me is the best proof of this.

Don't be sad, I am very satisfied with this ending." Lin Tiandong sighed heavily, and it was hard to tell whether it was because he put down the burden or the person who fell off the cliff loosened his grip on the cliff.

"Captain, there must be a way!"

"If you still recognize me as your captain, please accept this last order from me. You all must remember that this is the real me.

Xiao Zuo and Xiao You, I am really happy... because I got to know you and everyone else." Lin Tiandong raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a sunny smile.

……

……

After hearing Xiao Zuo's words, Su Yue opened her eyes wide in shock and stood there in a daze.

"So... the him just now was not the final him!" Su Yue asked again, as if wanting to confirm that her understanding was correct.

Xiao Zuo wiped his eyes and nodded: "Well, the captain just now, the reason why he had to fight with you was because he told me the method that Yi Lei told him. He thought that Auntie could still change back to a human from bait."

Su Yue was greatly shocked.

It turned out that Lin Tiandong had already completed his soul's self-salvation long before this, but for the sake of her, a stranger of the same kind, he took the initiative to throw away the key of redemption, and let himself fall into the abyss of madness again.

"But he wanted to eat just now..." Su Yue said in confusion.

"Well, this is one of the reasons why the captain did this. Although he believes in himself, he never has the confidence to suppress his instinctive desire. This is what he wants to prove in the end." Xiao Zuo said.

"Stop lying!" Xiao You, who was carrying Lin Tiandong on his back, suddenly interrupted.

Su Yue and Xiao Zuo both turned their eyes to Xiao You.

“The captain decided that way because he didn’t want us to see him lose. In the end, the captain was just pretending to be strong... Xiao Zuo, you obviously knew that.” Xiao You said with tears in his eyes.

Xiao Zuo lowered his head and fell silent.

Yes, they all knew that Lin Tiandong had been in fear. He was afraid that he would do something to devour his mother, so he made the final decision.

In order to freeze himself in the image of a human being, he finally chose to let his incomplete self face the cruel test.

Xiao You looked at his sister, then at Lin Tiandong who was leaning on his shoulder, and said softly: "But the captain won in the end." "Did he really say that? Want to be my whetstone? But he clearly wanted to kill me." Su Yue asked puzzled.

If Lin Tiandong really wanted to sacrifice himself, he should have prepared a backup plan in advance after forgetting the secret to prevent him from accidentally killing her.

But in the actual battle, Lin Tiandong was simply ridiculously strong. If it weren't for his [33,000 blood], she would probably have died several times.

"I'm sorry, it's me." Xiao Zuo admitted, "I didn't obey the captain's orders! I didn't hide those relics."

Xiao Zuo was ready to face Su Yue's gaze. No matter whether it was anger or hatred, she would accept it all. This was her own stupid thing to do, and she should bear all the consequences.

But when she looked up, she saw Su Yue was stunned for a moment, and then she smiled with relief: "It seems that we are all the same. If I were you, I might do the same."

When Su Yue heard Xiao Zuo's admission, she was indeed surprised, and even felt extremely angry for a moment.

Lin Tiandong made the decision for the overall situation and his own life. The Control Bureau was fighting for the civilians of this city, but Xiao Zuo disobeyed his final order because of his selfish desire to keep the captain alive. This is unforgivable in any way.

But this intuitive thought only appeared in Su Yue's mind for a moment, and she suddenly thought of Xia Shou.

If it was Xia Shou, if she was standing in Xiao Zuo's position, then... she might do the same.

The overall situation and responsibility, she actually thought of these just now. It was obvious that she did not join the Control Bureau because of these, she just wanted to stay with Brother Xia Shou.

"What secret did Captain Lin tell you?" Su Yue asked.

Xiao Zuo looked at Su Yue, stunned for a moment, and his voice and expression softened: "Only one person can know, let's go over there and talk."

Xiao Zuo led Su Yue to a slightly farther place, and then said:

"Do you know what Yi Lei told the captain about the method to resurrect his mother?

A rib and an umbilical cord.

A rib on Yi Lei's body was once a sacred object of the Blood Mother Cult. When the person to whom the rib was transplanted has the umbilical cord, if the owner of the rib dies, the umbilical cord will bring him back to his original appearance.

This method, Ily calls it the second birth."

Su Yue's eyes suddenly widened, and a long-standing doubt in her heart suddenly became clear!
No wonder Yi Lei survived the devastating blow in the Blood Dynasty incident. It turns out that he didn’t just survive, but was resurrected!

She knew about that rib. She had been captured by the Blood Mother Cult before, and many people had mentioned it at the time. That bone, which was always moist and stained with fresh blood, was very similar to the description of the remains in the "Song of the Red Cave" that Xia Shou had brought back.

——Its bones are like blood, always bright red.

But what is that umbilical cord?
The umbilical cord and ribs work together to allow a person to be born a second time, which is consistent with what the mysterious voice she and Flandre heard in front of the manhole cover before.

This test was set by the First See Death in order to achieve a second rebirth, but Yi Lei was carrying the key materials for the second rebirth.

The more Su Yue thought about it, the more frightened she felt.

This is just like the first time an agent sees death, paving the way for Yi Lei!
Is this so-called test really a fair test?
……

……

"Xiao Gao and Mark haven't come back yet." Xia Shou turned around and said to Mo Ying.

Half an hour had passed since their first battle with that group of people.

Half an hour was a long time. If the two were fine, they should have returned long ago, but now neither of them has returned.

Xiao Gao might get lost, but Mark definitely wouldn't get lost, so Xia Shou also began to worry.

"We are doing our own thing. Killing the writer is the top priority. There is nothing we can do if something really happens to them." Mo Ying replied calmly.

Xia Shou sighed heavily, threw away the head of a transcendent in his hand, and continued walking along the predetermined route.

Shen Fei and Gu Liang followed behind the team, picking up corpses and replenishing medical resources while chatting quietly.

Gu Liang: “It’s a bit relaxing.”

Shen Fei rarely agreed: "I thought there would be stronger people behind."

"From this perspective, Xia Shou is really powerful." Gu Liang praised.

Since that fierce battle, they encountered three more group battles sporadically, and each time was a sneak attack.

When encountering an ambush for the second time, Gu Liang was still a little nervous. After all, he and Shen Fei were both logistics personnel and could easily be affected by the aftermath of the battle.

But when Xia Shou easily killed the second group of attackers, his tense spirit relaxed a little.

Because the second group of ambushers were rushing over Xia Shou's side like mowing grass, and they fell over with a loud noise as if blown by a strong wind, Xia Shou also rushed over.

Then, she would chop off heads and brains, rip out hearts and pierce abdomens. Once the [Mirror Magic] was activated, she would basically be immune to most physical attacks, and Alice could also deprive other people of their vision.

The second batch of people were obviously not as good as the first batch. Not to mention their low abnormality level, their mobility dropped sharply after they lost their vision.

Gu Liang was still a little nervous when he first appeared on the stage, but as soon as Xia Shouyi rushed forward, the nervousness disappeared immediately.

Because it was killed too quickly!

After encountering an ambush for the third time, Gu Liang had calmed down.

But this group of people was even more unruly than the previous one. After Xia Shouyi's indiscriminate killing, several people were beaten into despair. They knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, kowtowed and begged for mercy, hoping to spare their lives. They said that it didn't matter even if their limbs were chopped off and thrown aside, as long as they were not killed.

There was a person who cried very sincerely and said that he just wanted to try his luck and had no intention of going against the control bureau.

There was another person who was even more miserable. He said that he had only heard about Jin Fenglong and took the high-speed rail to come to this city to join in the fun. It was also his first time to experience the ultimatum in person. He just wanted to see it for himself and had absolutely no hostility.

This person was very sincere, and during the battle, he was the only one who did not attack Xia Shou. He just watched from the sidelines the entire time, a complete spectator.

To be honest, his attitude of begging for mercy almost moved Gu Liang.

As a result, No. 102 said sarcastically:
"Well said! In the future, the control bureau should sell tickets for the tour. We will fight to the death and perform for you, and we can even charge you for it."

Then, the man died.

The third batch was slightly stronger than the second batch. Gu Liang watched the battle with an appreciative eye.

I have to say that the tactics of this group of people are pretty good. They attacked Xia Shou like he was a BOSS and had almost absolute upper hand in the early stage.

Although Xia Shou on their side looked like he was about to be completely defeated, no one of them felt a sense of urgency.

Later, Huang Changnian found the right opportunity and took out the key figure of the opposing team, thus laying the foundation for victory.

Although Gu Liang didn't say anything, he felt that Shen Fei and No. 102 were thinking the same thing as he was, and that Huang Changnian shouldn't have taken action.

It was clearly obvious just now, Xia Shou was about to exert force!

For people like them who have to consume spell power to use their supernatural powers, physical energy is very precious. It is really puzzling that they leave perpetual motion machines like Xia Shou unused and instead go up and generate electricity themselves.

Anyway, Gu Liang didn’t understand why the guy surnamed Huang felt sorry for the perpetual motion machine.
