Is it really normal to contain these anomalies?

She desperately escaped back to the soft bed and wrapped her trembling body tightly with the quilt.

"No... no..."

"I just want the experiments and sacrifices at the research institute to stop!"

'Why did things turn out like this?!'

Michelle thought desperately, but it was not until this moment that she realized that she had been walking on the original path.

Whether she opened her eyes or not, she could see the bruised bodies of her former companions emerging from the darkness around her, their eyes looking at her.

They didn't say anything, but the meaning in their eyes pushed her into death.

At the same time, behind the bodies of her companions, the woman in black appeared before her eyes again with a slightly playful smile.

At this moment, Michelle finally understood why the "leader" was laughing...

"It's all my fault! It's all my fault! It's all my fault!!"

The girl broke down and burst into tears. She loosened her fingers that were tightly gripping the quilt, but instead used various sharp objects on the desk to attack herself.

"I betrayed everyone!"

"I was the one who revealed the location of the research institute to the leader!"

'I killed everyone!'

"I'm the bastard who's even more cold-blooded than Ain! Carly and the others shouldn't have died! I'm the one who should have died!"

For the first time in her life, Michelle regretted making such a stupid choice.

Not only did she abandon the best memories of the past and her predecessors, she also killed these kind and innocent people, leaving herself, a damn bastard, alone to live in this dark world.

The tip of the compass pierced into the flesh again and again, but this level of pain was nothing compared to the tragedy that Lisa and the others had encountered.

Suddenly, the girl felt that she had to do something. Even if she couldn't get forgiveness from Ain and the others, at least it would make her empty heart feel better.

But she soon discovered that her companions were all dead!

Only two seniors, Ain and Benjamin, are on the run in the suburbs with even higher bounties on their heads...

She couldn't find them, and what's more, how could she, the culprit, have the face to go back?

In the end, no matter what she did while she was still alive, she could not undo it.

Michelle finally cast her desperate eyes towards the chandelier above her head...

Apology statement

Um...

Here is the author.

I just saw everyone's comments after class...

In fact, I also guessed that everyone would be dissatisfied, because my group friends actually talked to me about the advancement of the plot yesterday.

When I was writing about Yulia in Chapter 112, I also saw everyone's complaints about the plot progressing too slowly.

This is indeed not well written by the author.

Because I'm worried that for readers who haven't played Lobotomy Corporation, the launch of the Light Seed might be a bit too abrupt...

But core suppression is necessary, but it is too complicated to write all of them, so I decided to only write about HOD, Hong Jie, and Suo Ma.

The plot of HOD is to explain the story of Ain and his friends during their time at the research institute as much as possible in one go.

I was also a little afraid that people would directly judge HOD as a bad person because of her betrayal, so I expanded the story by four chapters to express her inner thoughts, which also caused the plot to be dragged out.

The author is sorry to everyone.

I would like to formally apologize to everyone here.

The HOD core suppression is basically over in the next chapter, and the rest of the story will be about the Foundation, Terra, and Haisi.

I hope you will continue to support me.

Until then, yours sincerely.

Chapter 141 True Core Suppression

The girl still took this step.

The pain and feeling of suffocation are constantly transmitted from the neck to the brain.

And in such a vision, the last light went out, and finally nothing was left.

The world fell into darkness again.

Bai Yu and X could no longer see any images.

The story of the girl named Michelle ends here.

But is the stage over?

No...sadness and pain still overflowed from the surrounding darkness.

The sound of running water still rang out beneath their feet, and the liquid soaked their ankles.

"Director... please forgive me... If you won't forgive me, please delete this memory..."

In this sea of consciousness composed of the memories of the deceased, a long time has passed, and now, the words that belong only to HOD finally came again from the center of this "well".

It was not until this time that X finally understood the heaviness contained in these words.

This is the confession of the girl named Michelle.

No matter how much time passed, she begged for forgiveness from Ain or her other companions.

X suddenly made up his mind, turned around and walked towards the depths of the 'well'.

But the other 'X''s hand held him back.

"Why are you holding me?" X tried hard to break free from Bai Yu's hand.

But the employee showed no intention of letting go and just asked softly.

'What do you want to do?'

X was silent for a few seconds.

After such a long period of watching movies together in the sea of consciousness, the supervisor gradually accepted the existence of this man named Bai Yu.

He would often explain Michelle's stories and actions to himself as if he were the one who had experienced these things firsthand.

And now, X agreed to seek his opinion before taking action.

'She needs forgiveness, and I have forgiven her...'

His golden pupils were looking into the depths of darkness, searching for the girl who had fallen into depravity.

At the very least, X still believed that Michelle's original intention was good.

After witnessing the entire HOD memory, stopping the institute's inhumane and cruel experiments seemed like a just act.

She just mistakenly trusted someone she shouldn't have trusted, and she has been regretting it all her life, and finally ended her life.

She is still that kind girl at heart, but in her second life, will she still be tormented by the pain from her past life?

X doesn't know, but he feels that this is not right...

Even if what he is going to do next is just a hypocritical action, even if he is not the real Ain, but as long as it can free Miss HOD, then he must play this role!

And for this statement.

Even Bai Yu, known as 'X', couldn't think of any rebuttal to his statement.

But he still didn't want to let go. He didn't know why, he just felt that there was still a grudge in his heart.

"Do you understand? You can let go now, right?"

X pulled his arm again, and he felt the pain from HOD in his sea of consciousness becoming more and more profound.

The liquid under his feet became more and more viscous, just like when he first entered the quagmire, and there was a faint trend of rising.

If this continues...

They will all be devoured by HOD's dark consciousness!

'Let go!'

Even though X's pulling became more intense, Bai Yu remained motionless.

He still stood there thinking, until the liquid flooded over his waist, he finally figured something out.

He suddenly growled at X.

'Your forgiveness is not what she needs!'

"What are you... talking about?" X still didn't understand what the employee meant. "Hasn't she been saying that she needs the supervisor's forgiveness? She's not talking about me, is there a second supervisor here?"

'Are you Ain?'

'I!'

X wanted to say something, but even though he knew that Ain had the same appearance as him, he was indeed not the real Ain.

Therefore, he could only grit his teeth in the end.

'What do you mean? '

"You haven't experienced her suffering, so why would you forgive her on behalf of Ain?"

Bai Yu finally understood why no X had ever completed even one core suppression in all these reincarnations.

Because they have never truly faced the inner world of these Sephirahs, and they have always been just actors playing the roles of Ain, and have never become the real Ain even for a moment from beginning to end.

The hypocritical forgiveness from 'X' cannot redeem Michelle!

In fact, she herself knew that she was not a truly kind girl at all.

She was just scared and regretful.

She simply found a completely legitimate reason for herself, chose to betray, and began to wishfully believe that the leader would only arrest Ain and others.

She simply created evil in the name of good.

Perhaps in Lobotomy, her kindness is genuine...but within this kindness, there is more of a sense of guilt for the past.

And now, the employee decided to take a gamble.

'Stand here and let her sin consume you!'

His instructions quickly reached the supervisor's ears.

"I'd be crazy to believe you!"

X glared at Bai Yu, who had an expressionless face, but the restlessness in his heart subsided in those calm blue eyes.

believe him?

It's such a strange feeling.

X gritted his teeth and turned his head away, but did not resist anymore.

"After all, it's just one death. It's okay to experience the death of an employee occasionally. Angela outside will restart time if she finds something wrong..."

He closed his eyes.

He let the rising liquid bury his entire body bit by bit.

It is also under such circumstances.

X, who was submerged up to his neck, finally felt emotions other than sadness and despair, a hint of hatred and calmness towards Michelle.

'What? ! ’

He opened his eyes suddenly, not knowing where these emotions came from.

But before he could react, tentacles from deep within the liquid suddenly shot out from the darkness, grabbed his legs, and pulled him towards a darkness deeper than darkness itself.

"director..."

"sorry..."
