You've become the warden, and you're telling me I'm an undercover agent?

Chapter 211 The Victims

"Yuanyuan, in fact, has already died once, but she doesn't know it herself."

This two-meter-tall man with a deep voice trembled all over the moment he saw the round head.

Yuanyuan's body only retains the brain and digestive system, and many organs in the body are replaced by machines. Even Yuanyuan herself does not know that she is a cyborg.

Wen Xin quickly put Yuanyuan's body back into place and gently stroked her hair.

After a while, Yuanyuan woke up, sat up, yawned, and stretched.

"Are you leaving?" she asked.

"I'm not leaving." Wen Xin shook his head. He was in a very low mood, but he still responded positively to Yuanyuan.

"You seem a little unhappy," Yuanyuan said, reaching out to touch Wenxin's hair. Wenxin was squatting in front of Yuanyuan, like a clumsy bear.

In the end, Yuanyuan was sent to the second bedroom to rest.

Wenxin took several attempts to explain the matter clearly. Every time he came to the key points, his emotions fluctuated greatly and he couldn't organize his words normally.

In short, the mechanism of the Mechanicus is very special.

The reformers in the same area are like parallel circuits, but there is a main switch on the parallel circuits, and the main switch is the regional cardinal.

Once the cardinal dies or becomes confused, the mechanical parts of all the followers below will stop functioning.

Likewise, for the Pope, all the cardinals are connected in parallel, and the Pope is the master switch.

This makes it easy to understand. Once Chi Ping finds the memory chip of the Cardinal of Star City and uses it to deal with the Cardinal, if he succeeds, Yuanyuan will also die.

Given her current physical condition, once the machinery in her body stops functioning, the remaining flesh will soon die.

The reason why Wen Xin was willing to speak frankly with Chi Ping was that she chose to believe in Chi Ping's kindness.

"The chip is in Tan Zhikui's body." Wen Xin said finally.

This surprised Chi Ping. Didn't they steal it out? How did they put it back into Tan Zhikui's body?

Isn't this equivalent to stealing for nothing?

The next morning, Wen Xin said that he and Chi Ping would go together to retrieve the chip.

Chi Ping thought about it and asked Le Bai to come to the house to protect Yuan Yuan. He also called Wei San and Huo Ba, and prepared the executioner's outfit in the trunk, ready to rush the Iron Fist Club.

It turned out that the destination Wen Xin mentioned was not Iron Fist, but a cemetery.

On the way, Chi Ping was driving, and Wen Xin told him about how his sister was transformed.

First, there was a conflict between the transformed people and local official organizations.

In the initial confrontation between the two sides, the cyborgs gained the upper hand. Their actions became increasingly rampant, and it was during this time that Yuanyuan was abducted and subjected to a cyborg experiment.

The person who reformed Yuanyuan was Tan Zhikui.

At that time, they had not yet come to Xingcheng and were still in the neighboring province and city, and Tan Zhikui was also transferred there.

They dismembered Yuanyuan while she was still conscious.

So, even though Yuanyuan could no longer remember the scene of the transformation, she still couldn't suppress her fear when she saw Tan Zhikui's face.

After the experiment is completed, the dismembered Yuanyuan will be disposed of as experimental waste.

This is not pure evil, but rather rational thinking based on cost control by the think tank.

Whether it is to save Yuanyuan or to completely transform her, the cost will be far higher than the later benefits.

So, there was no need to save them. Just like the medical university in Chi Ping's previous life, the frogs, rabbits, and mice that were dissected, if the cost of treating them was too high, then there was no need to save them.

If it can be easily treated, it can be used in the next experiment.

All of this is the result of rational considerations.

But just as everyone was about to put Yuanyuan into the large black garbage bag, Tan Zhikui's human will was briefly reset, suppressing the mechanical will.

Under his strong request, the others worked together to complete the transformation surgery on Yuanyuan.

No wonder.

Tan Zhikui always gave Chi Ping a feeling of being torn apart, so much so that in his last recording, his human will asked Chi Ping to kill him.

Later, they came to Star City.

Meanwhile, the battle between the authorities and the transformers has just begun.

If the authorities or normal humans win this time and the Cardinal of Star City is eliminated, his sister will still die.

"But, why?!"

Wen Xin was very excited when he told this story. Chi Ping saw his red eyes in the rearview mirror, his chest heaving violently, and his face flushed visibly.

"Why? The cyborg won, but Yuanyuan has already died once and lost her body.

"Even if the authorities win, Yuanyuan will still die once!
“Why are we the ones who suffer?
"Once a cyborg loses, it will just find another place to lie dormant."

Wen Xin didn't say the second half of his sentence, which is that if the authorities lose, they will downplay the impact of the cyborgs and divert public attention. After all, it is impossible for the cyborgs to really overthrow the authorities.

Maybe considering that Chi Ping was an official, they gave him face.

According to him, big forces come and go like this, and those who suffer repeatedly are always just the bottom class.

Since Chi Ping's strength has grown, his mood swings have become much less.

But at this time, he was still somewhat infected by Wen Xin.

His expression was also somewhat solemn, and he said to Wen Xin:

"Don't worry, one day he will overturn it all, smash it to pieces, and turn it into ashes."

Chi Ping didn't say who to overturn or crush, nor did he say who would overturn. He just had a plan in his mind.

The scenery of the cemetery is very beautiful.

The rows of tombstones are surrounded by green hills. The morning sunlight is so gentle, so gentle that even if a snail climbs up the tombstone, it still can't bear to flick it away.

If it were a hot noon day, it would have been trampled to pieces.

There was no name on the tombstone, but underneath, there was an epitaph engraved:

"Those who let me live, I will take you to hell with me."

Wen Xin stood in front of the tombstone and said, "This is Tan Zhikui's tomb."

Chi Ping frowned, thought for a moment, and then reacted.

Tan Zhikui's brain is still alive in the mechanical body, so what is buried here should be the body he abandoned.

Wen Xin quickly found the tools and opened Tan Zhikui's tomb.

The latter's body had been embalmed and the coffin was luxurious, so the body did not decay.

In addition to the corpse, there were two half-meter-high glass jars in the coffin.

The internal organs removed by Tan Zhikui were soaked in formalin.

Wen Xin leaped into the coffin and twisted open Tan Zhikui's skull. From where his brain used to be, he pulled out a black chip.

"This is it." He stood in the coffin and handed the chip to Chi Ping.

The chip is also wrapped in a layer of plastic, probably to prevent the chip from being damaged by the decay of the corpse.

On the back of the chip, there is another line of words:

"When you kill them, please kill me too. I'm tired."

It was left by Tan Zhikui. His condition is similar to Yuanyuan's. Once the cardinal dies, his mechanical body will stop working and the remaining organs will also die.

Wen Xin hastily restored the tomb, as he would not hide it here again anyway.

Chi Ping also wanted to ask Tan Zhikui whether he should respect his corpse since he was driven by a mechanical will after all.

Wen Xin obviously saw Chi Ping's doubts. He dug up the base of the tombstone. This base was previously pressed down by a cement slab. Now that the tomb was dug up, he happened to see an epitaph on it:

"Whatever, love whoever you want."

On their way back, they passed by other people's gravestones.

Among them was a middle-aged woman in her fifties who also came to sweep the graves.

He was sweeping a joint tomb. The photo on the tombstone was of a father and son, presumably the woman's husband and child.

There is a line of small words under the tombstone: Died in the mutant incident in the year 686 of the new calendar.

In 686 AD, mutants first appeared in Star City.

Chi Ping was silent as he saw the woman sitting on the steps in front of the tombstone, holding a dog bell in her other hand.

"This morning when I was feeding Ah Qi, I found that he was not moving. Last night he kept trying to run outside, perhaps wanting to die outside.

"Now I'm really the only one left."

When he returned home, Chi Ping called the prison and it was Huo Ba who answered the phone.

Chi Ping was about to ask about Luo Xinghe's situation when Huo Ba said directly:
"Luo Xinghe wants to see you."
