Thirteenth month of death

Chapter 194: Good and Evil
However, Li Daosheng and Yang Ya in the elevator suddenly twisted their bodies and disappeared!
"Don't move." Li Daosheng's figure appeared behind them, and the long sword was placed on the neck of the person in charge.

When they took the elevator down, the two of them were of course prepared to encounter an enemy as soon as they opened the door.

Yang Ya's mechanical legs released a holographic projection. If there were someone, this level of holographic projection would only be enough to confuse them for a moment, and they would soon discover the flaw.

But just that one moment is enough.

The real Li Daosheng was hiding behind the holographic projection and had already rushed out with the sword.

I didn't expect that there was actually someone waiting for them at the door.

However, what this person said surprised Li Daosheng and Yang Ya.

It is not surprising that World Tree Company knows about the existence of Thirteenth Moon. Hedel also knows it. Hedel was once the director of the Lower City District. Strictly speaking, he is this person's predecessor.

But from what this person said at this moment, it seems that World Tree Company is interested in discussing some kind of cooperation?
"Tell me, do you want us to commit suicide again in exchange for other dug-out brains?" Li Daosheng asked sarcastically.

"My name is Ethan." Despite the chilling sword hanging from his neck, he remained calm. "I represent the World Tree Company, and our cooperation with you is not limited to this extent."

"Are you here to look for the swordsman who died here before?" Ethan suddenly asked.

Li Daosheng raised his eyebrows: "You know?"

Ethan laughed: "At that time, I was Hedel's deputy. His sword was at my neck, just like yours."

"Let me think about it. Heder ran away," Ethan said to himself. "So, in his own best interest, he should tell you... that the World Tree Company is committing all sorts of evil, digging out human brains to build a computing center. At the same time, to rescue the trapped innocent humans and those brains, a swordsman from a foreign land heroically sacrificed his life. Is that right?"

He actually turned his head and looked at Li Daosheng.

"Don't listen to his nonsense," Yang Ya immediately interrupted Ethan, "They are best at sweet talk."

A dazzling cold light poured down from the laboratory dome. Li Daosheng's sword tip trembled slightly, and he exerted a little more force in his hand.

"It seems that I need to use some methods to create a good negotiation atmosphere for us." Ethan's hands, which had been in his pocket, seemed to move suddenly.

At this moment, sparks suddenly burst out from the metal at Yang Ya's left knee, and he staggered and hit the wall of the elevator!
"I'm sorry, Miss Yang."

Ethan's face was calm as he looked at Yang Ya, who had fallen to the ground. "This military-grade prosthetic is our product, or rather... the work of your genius sister. It has seven positioning chips and three self-destruct programs built into it. We are constantly monitoring your movements, including your life and death."

He took his hand out of his pocket and found a metal controller.

With a light press, Yang Ya's pupils instantly shrank to the size of a needle tip, and spider-web-like circuit patterns emerged under his skin.

Li Daosheng lowered the tip of his sword, his killing intent pressing towards his throat: "Do you think I dare not kill you?"

"Of course you dare," Ethan said, his expression remaining calm. "But in your heart, my life is definitely not as important as Miss Yang Ya's."

"If you kill me, I promise she will be buried with me."

Ethan looked directly into Li Daosheng's eyes: "Can we talk now?"

----

The clean white walls, soft lighting, and steaming tea made this place look nothing like the negotiation site between the two parties who were just on the verge of a tense situation.

Ethan sat opposite Li Daosheng and Yang Ya. He was the only one in the conference room.

Whether you say he is brave or reckless, at least he is indeed a character.

"Hedel treats you as puppets, Thirteenth Month as well, and we..." Ethan pressed a button on the console, and the wall of the conference room suddenly cracked, revealing a large screen with Hedel's picture on it, "We are the real guardians." On the screen, Hedel did not block the support from the upper city as agreed. On the contrary, he let the people from the upper city pass, and took advantage of the temporary emptiness of the World Tree Headquarters in the upper city to sneak in.

However... all of this is now clearly reflected on the screen, and can be seen clearly by Li Daosheng and Yang Ya.

Yang Ya was in disbelief. "Impossible! I've completely disabled the surveillance system. Furthermore, the angle of view on this footage isn't a normal surveillance system at all. How did you manage to film him?"

Ethan tapped his fingers on the console on the conference table a few times, and the image on the screen turned into a huge tree made up of countless times.

"The Quantum Cloud Tree, I think you two have already seen it." Ethan pointed at the screen. "Its tentacles have spread throughout the World Tree Headquarters. As long as it is within the range of the company headquarters, it can capture the image."

"This is also one of the biggest changes since the Quantum Cloud Tree's personality emerged," Ethan said in a heavy tone. "It seems that we are controlling it, but in fact, it has already taken control of the entire company. Therefore, all resources are secretly being transferred to the branch office in the downtown area."

"Let's not talk about that. This is Hedel's purpose. He had you infiltrate the Lower City branch and cause a riot. He used this opportunity to infiltrate the core area of Upper City, obtain the core key of the Quantum Cloud Tree, and become the new controller."

"Are you just going to watch?" Yang Ya suddenly asked.

In fact, when asking this question, both Yang Ya and Li Daosheng knew that whatever Heder's plan was, it must have failed...

As expected, Ethan asked, "Ms. Yang Ya is a genius hacker. In your opinion, if the quantum cloud tree develops self-awareness, will it still be controlled by humans?"

Yang Ya didn't answer directly. Instead, he said, "Hedel also knows that the quantum cloud tree has developed consciousness, which means he has a way to control it."

Ethan nodded: "Yes, we think so too."

"So…we let him in."

The scene jumped and turned into the scene of Hedel attacking the headquarters of World Tree Company.

"What kind of abilities does he have that would allow him to be so confident in controlling the Quantum Cloud Tree? If he truly can do it, I don't think anyone would object to letting him control it."

After these words were spoken, Li Daosheng and Yang Ya were both a little confused.

How does it feel...

Are there many secrets hidden in this?

"What kind of cooperation do you want to discuss with us?" Li Daosheng asked.

Ethan came back to his senses: "Sorry, actually, it's about [Thirteenth Month]."

"The quantum cloud tree once observed wrinkles in space-time." His fingertips slid across a button, and the picture jumped. Three figures appeared on the ground, one holding a long sword, one with a broken horn on his head, and one... his right arm was covered with various small insects.

"The ripples caused by the dimensional vibration have been captured. These three... are your companions, right?"

That's right...

These three people were Fei Zaixing, Hua Que, and the big man with broken horns who had never spoken to him.

"This swordsman does have a chivalrous spirit, but he's not foolish, nor would he go so far as to give up his own life. He will die... because he was deceived by Hedel."

Ethan said something shocking.
