Asura of Tomorrow's Ark

"Device No. [-] does not have any form of backup. The experiment was terminated with the death of the person in charge, Dela Red."

"The above is an archive of all the information on the No. [-] device experiment."

After saying that, Joyce looked at Li Ang quietly, as if waiting for his next order.

"..."

There was already a turmoil in Li Ang's heart. Less than a minute passed before Joyce showed a completely opposite attitude on the same issue.

This gave Li Ang a creepy feeling...

What was that voice in her head?Why did Joyce's attitude undergo such an exaggerated change? ?

"You...don't you think there's something wrong with you?"

After thinking about it, Li Ang asked Joyce cautiously.

"..."

Joyce's eyes flickered for a moment, then she shook her head and replied, "No, Joyce has completed the self-examination and found no problems."

Sure enough... Joyce had no consciousness at all about the changes that had happened to her.

She didn't even realize how weird her attitude towards Li Ang was now.

Just when Li Ang was about to ask what the sound Joyce heard was, his perception suddenly caught an uninvited guest.

"Oops...why is Hemo back?"

Perhaps because he discovered that Joyce had not followed, Helmer came back angrily at this time.

Li Ang obviously didn't do anything, but Hemo's appearance still put great pressure on him.

After all...what happened to Joyce seems a little unclear?

So, Leon's brain was running rapidly, and he said to Joyce nervously, "Listen, Hemo is here. You should try to cover up what happened just now, and don't tell anyone."

"Including what you just said...you must obey my orders. Also, continue to perform your duties. If there is a chance, I will contact you again."

"Understood, the order has been received." Joyce nodded gently.

Almost as soon as Li Ang finished giving instructions to Joyce, Hemo came angrily from the corner of the corridor and killed her.

Seeing the two people who were still staying where they were, Hemo quickly ran over and stopped in front of Joyce, staring at Li Ang warily.

"What do you want to do to Joyce?"

Hearing this, Li Ang couldn't help but shrugged and said innocently to Hemer, "Dr. Hemer, I can understand your distrust of me, but... it would be a little bit to blame me for this kind of thing. Isn’t that very rational?”

"Miss Joyce is here now. Why can't you ask her? Maybe Miss Joyce wants to see me for something?"

Hearing what Li Ang said, Hemo also showed a hesitant expression.

She looked back at Joyce, and Joyce nodded cooperatively.

"What!?" Helmer showed an expression of disbelief for a moment.

"...Sorry, I misunderstood."

After calming down, Hemo also frowned and apologized to Li Ang.

After that, Hemo didn't give Li Ang a chance to react, and forcibly pulled Joyce away.

"Joyce, let's go!"

After the two of them ran to a place where Li Ang couldn't see them at all, Hemo slowed down his pace and breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, she said to Joyce seriously, "Joyce...why did you go to talk to that person? You must have heard what Director Parvis said that day, right?"

"Given that guy's history, whatever his thoughts were on Rosemary, ... he was a very dangerous guy."

Casimir and Colombia are neighboring countries. In addition to the knight competition, there are also some other news coming from there.

Although there was a lag of one or two months, it was enough for Helmer, who verified Parvez's findings from outdated news.

That man was indeed a wanted criminal in Letania, and the death of the former chairman of Bol Pharmaceuticals was indeed full of doubts.

Therefore, Hemer's attitude took a 180-degree turn.

Humer said earnestly, "So, Joyce, do you understand? It's best not to have any contact with that person again."

"But...what did you say to him just now?"

Helmer was also a little curious about what Joyce and Leon talked about.

Hearing this, Joyce tilted her head, as if hesitating how to answer Helmer.

[New orders have been received: Conceal the content of the conversation just now, Order [-]: Perform your duties, Order [-]: Create opportunities for conversation. 】

If you want to achieve these three effects at the same time.

A few seconds later, Joyce suddenly thought of a good idea, so she said calmly, "I fell in love with Mr. Kennedy at first sight, and I was just planning to confess to him."

Even after saying these words, Joyce's face did not show any emotion.

"Huh...it turned out to be love at first sight."

Helmer exhaled softly, but after a moment, she suddenly realized something was wrong and screamed loudly, "What? Love at first sight?"

"Hermer, you came back too early."

"No, wait...but he is already married..."

Humer was talking incoherently, and she couldn't use words to describe the shock that Joyce's words just said to her.

love at first sight?Are you kidding...

"Joyce, were you kidding just now?"

With a glimmer of hope, Helmer asked.

"Sorry, I was joking just now."

Joyce nodded, but the expression on her face made it impossible for Helmer to judge whether she was lying.

Why didn't you realize before that she was so deceptive?

However, Helmer also understood that Joyce did not intend to tell her the truth, so she did not intend to pursue the question any further.

Hemo twitched the corner of his mouth and sighed deeply.

"You better be joking."

"The meeting is about to start, let's go."

After watching Joyce being pulled away by Hemo, Li Ang breathed a sigh of relief.

Weird...it's so weird...

"Rheinlife is a place that really... can bring surprises to people..."

After thinking about it, Li Ang could only give this evaluation.

Joyce... also holds an important position in Parvis' experimental team. Leon should be happy to have such a person willing to help.

But who would have thought that they were having a good conversation. One second they were saying that Hemer might be used by Parvis and wanted Leon to help stop it, and the next second they said they would obey all his orders?

This only made Li Ang feel a little shuddering.

What's even more terrifying is that Joyce clearly said that the voice in her head told her to do this, but she herself did not have any awareness of her changes before and after, as if the voice's command was absolute.

Why did it suddenly become like this?

Li Ang carefully recalled what had just happened, and suddenly noticed a subtle detail.

"and many more......"

Joyce's very sudden change occurred after Li Ang used his perception to discover the 'No. [-] Device' in her brain.

Device No. [-]?Perception?

Li Ang's face looked a little ugly, and he slowly spit out a name that had been forgotten for a long time.

"Origin Stone Will."

Chapter 27 Parvez’s little plan

Origin Stone Will...

Could that voice that Joyce heard in her head be the Will of the Origin Stone?

Li Ang's expression was a little uncertain. He had many problems, which seemed to be the product of a multi-party game. He knew this very well.

The Incarnation of the Year Beast, Haihe, Origin Stone Will, etc... The Origin Stone Will is the one with the greatest origin and the lowest sense of existence, and... the Origin Stone Will is also the only one that Li Ang personally I have come into contact with one, and the other 'behind the scenes' only exist in the conversations between Li Ang and others, and there is no chance to get a glimpse of their true faces.

However, apart from playing a large movie with unknown meaning to Li Ang, the Will of the Origin Stone had no other expression. Li Ang could not even communicate with it again.

Later, Li Ang also had a conjecture, maybe... the existence form of the Source Stone's will is very different from the 'self-will' that people understand. It's not that the Source Stone's will is unwilling to communicate with him, but that there is no way to communicate with him. comminicate.

The statement of the source stone's will itself is ambiguous. Li Ang only inferred through his actions with clear purpose that the 'source of the source stone' and 'the destination of all souls after death', this huge collection, may have a self-will.

But what exactly this 'self-will' is, no one can say clearly.

It is known that there is indeed a massive amount of information stored inside the Source Stone, and it is even directly connected to the 'Origin Stone Will', and using the human body...or an organism as the carrier of the decoder, the information stored in the Source Stone can Translation has been proven to be possible.

And the No. [-] device made on the basis of this theory is indeed possible to receive information from the will of the Origin Stone.

Prior to this, Joyce should not have shown anything strange until Leon's 'perception' came into contact with the 'Device No. [-]' in her brain.

What is perception?This is a special ability that does not belong to the category of Origin Stone skills at all. Li Ang's ability to control the Origin Stone is also based on 'perception'. According to Li Ang's understanding, this is undoubtedly a special power. .

So, who does this special power come from?It can't be that Li Ang was born with it, right?

The answer is of course Source Stone Will.

It is very possible that it was because of Li Ang's contact that the attention of the Origin Stone's will was attracted and Joyce had such a strange change?

So...if the voice in Joyce's head is the will of the Origin Stone, could it be that this existence finally gives up its stand-alone stance and communicates directly with him?

When he thought of this possibility, Li Ang felt like there were ants crawling all over his body, and he wished he could go over to Joyce and ask for details.

But unfortunately, Li Ang couldn't do this, and Joyce had been pulled away by Hemo.

And... with the lesson learned this time, Li Ang also suppressed the urge to use his senses to look around. If Rhine Life can make a No. [-] device, can't it make a second one?As for what Joyce said about all the information about Device No. [-] being lost... Li Ang definitely doesn't believe it anyway.

At first glance, this thing is something that was tinkered with after taking advantage of the Loken water tank. As long as the original technical data of the Loken water tank is still there, it is not difficult to reproduce it.

One Joyce is enough to infiltrate people. If she accidentally gets a few guys like her, Li Ang will probably run back to Casimir overnight.

What's more, Li Ang doesn't want the will of the Origin Stone to interfere too much in the world. Lacey's warning to him when he was in Sami is still vivid in his mind.

Shaking his head, Li Ang temporarily threw these thoughts out of his mind. Now it was time to attend the morning meeting held by Parvis.

Compared with the will of the Origin Stone that is too far away, the problem at hand is more practical.

Li Ang was somewhat looking forward to seeing what kind of work Parvis could do for him this time.

After telling Rosemary to stay in the room obediently and not to come into contact with anyone else, Li Ang went to the conference room alone.

Leon was quite relieved about the well-behaved Rosemary. If Parvis thought he could do something with this opportunity, he would be totally wrong.

It would be better to say...Leon is very much looking forward to Parvis targeting this gap to cause trouble, so that he can easily catch Parvis' evidence.

At that time, if there is evidence, Ceria can directly launch a liquidation against him.

However, Li Ang felt that Parves should not be so stupid. It can be seen from the hand he used to provoke Hemo that he is still laying the groundwork for his plan.

Of course, just in case, Li Ang never gave up using his senses to pay attention to the movements on Rosemary's side.

By the time Li Ang arrived at the conference room, almost everyone was already here. They were all members of the experimental group led by Parvis himself. There were no more than ten people in total. Helmer and Joyce were also among them. in.

The two infected people did not sit with others, so they were quite conspicuous in this small conference room.

Regarding Li Ang who pushed the door open, those people also looked at him differently.

There was disdain, hostility, and curiosity. Of course, Joyce's eyes were still as calm as frozen ice, without any change.

"Mr. Kennedy, you are finally here."

Parvis, who was sitting at the front, smiled and said to Li Ang, "Please find a seat and sit down. The meeting will start soon."

Li Ang nodded, then glanced around the conference room, and with the complicated expression on Helmer's face, he walked to sit next to Joyce.
