Ling Cage: Many Children, Many Blessings - I Became the Head of Dawn

Qin Song laughed and said, "You've hidden it quite well."

This old man was none other than Dr. Flynn, who had been overlooked by everyone.

Xiang Qing was the one he sent to assassinate Qin Song.

Flynn was a staunch supporter of Grey, the first lord of the Lighthouse, the administrator of the Croto System, and Carrie's teacher, the head of the Ecological Research Institute.

"If you have anything to ask, just ask."

"Is Gray's brain inside Morgan's body?"

Flynn shook his head. "I just implanted a biochip in his brain, which has been subtly influencing him for decades, but he has never noticed it."

Qin Song nodded. This guy was also a neuroscientist, and his brain transplant surgery skills were no less than Bai Yuekui's. Implanting a chip into Morgan was just a small matter.

Where is Gray now?

"I don't know, there's been no news of him since he left the lighthouse."

"With your capabilities, controlling the lighthouse would be a piece of cake. Why make it so complicated?"

They both coordinated with Bai Yuekui to turn Mark into a Devouring Beast and sent high-level combat forces to assassinate him.

Flynn chuckled: "Humanity needs a lighthouse to attract the attention of the Mana ecosystem, while the various settlements are secretly vying for power. Occupying the lighthouse will only expose them to the spotlight."

"So the lighthouse is just an insignificant pawn. It doesn't matter who occupies it, but we can't let the lighthouse fall down, nor can we let it develop."

Flynn walked to the test bench and started fiddling with ASH. "And your appearance has disrupted the plans of the various settlements. At first, I thought you were from Jerejak, but later I found out that you were not with them, and it seems that you are also at odds with Dragonbone Village."

"We can't control you; the lighthouse must continue to operate according to the established rules..."

Qin Song understood.

This is because they are afraid of disrupting the balance.

"What stage of development have the major settlements reached now?"

“No settlement can survive on the ground easily. You saw it yourself, Hela’s surface settlement only sent me a prosthetic body, and it still caused such great damage…”

Qin Song leaned against the headboard, lost in thought.

Before the apocalypse, three of the four great empires had already been assembled: Jerejad, the Hela Empire, and Dragonbone Village, representing the Kingdom of Heluo.

He has already destroyed the first two strongholds in the lighthouse, and now all that's left is the Zeon Kingdom.

From Flynn's remaining memories, we know that there was indeed a Zeon stronghold on the lighthouse.

Qin Song arrived at the city lord's hall, only to find Charles sitting in the city lord's seat.

A thought flashed through my mind: it seems that the blond-haired guy has successfully seized power.

However, he clearly didn't realize that he was just a pawn, which is the tragedy of having no power.

Several people pushed open the door and walked in quickly.

The city's garrison commander, Victor, roared, "Charles! Why won't you let us see the city lord? What have you done to him?"

Chapter 70 Burn him to death!

Charles sat in the city lord's seat with his legs crossed, swirling his wine glass, a slight smile playing on his lips.

The prayer officer, Bu Li, stepped forward, raised his right hand, and said with an exaggerated expression, "This is the current acting city lord. You should call him Lord City Lord!"

Viktor was furious. "Without the city lord's approval, what right do you have to act as the city lord?"

Charles chuckled. "How do you know I don't have Morgan's approval?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a flurry of footsteps sounded all around.

Dozens of priests poured into the hall.

Charles rose and slowly walked down the steps, a smug look on his face.

“General Victor, due to your dereliction of duty, the city lord was seriously injured by the crazed Mark. Now, the future city lord has become a monster. I will not take the position of acting city lord. Should I let you, the negligent commander-in-chief of the city defense army, take over?”

"The current Lighthouse is like Morgan, an old man on his deathbed, and it's time for some fresh blood to be brought in to its various management departments."

The door opened, and Gerson walked in slowly.

Charles smiled slightly. "This is the newly appointed deputy commander of the city's defense forces, who has come here specifically to share the workload with the general."

Now that Morgan is seriously ill, Mark has become a Devourer, and Qin Song, the most powerful man in the Lighthouse, is also a member of his Light and Shadow Society, the advantage is in my hands!

A hint of gloom flashed in Viktor's and Jingnan's eyes.

With Charles's successful usurpation of the throne, given his ruthlessness, the Lighthouse will likely face no peace.

Charles said calmly, "As the acting lord of the Lighthouse, I expect you two to be as loyal to your duties as Lord Morgan was when he was in power."

“Mark killed so many people in the crematorium, what do you think should be done with him? I suggest he be executed immediately.”

Jingnan frowned: "Mark has made so many contributions to the lighthouse, aren't you afraid the people will be disheartened?"

Charles sneered: "Do you want him to continue leading the Wilderness Hunters?"

Jingnan fell silent.

Every second that Mark stays at the lighthouse increases the danger to the lighthouse.

The tragedy at the incinerator serves as a cautionary tale; if he were to release scarlet and cause a large-scale infection, the losses would be enormous.

"What if the hunters rebel?"

“Those who are disloyal to the Lighthouse have no right to remain on it. Besides, don’t we still have the Holy Light Special Forces? The strength of the Special Forces is more than enough to rebuild the Hunters.”

Seeing that the fire was about to spread to him again, Qin Song laughed and said, "I have a suggestion, why don't we send Mark on a long journey?"

He was also thinking of tracking Mark to find the herd of beasts and launching a big attack.

Upon hearing this, the group immediately fell into deep thought.

After a long silence, Charles said, "I agree with Staff Officer Qin's suggestion."

Jingnan and Victor exchanged a glance and could only nod helplessly.

When news of Mark's impending departure spread, the entire lighthouse was shaken.

All the upper-class citizens and the lower-class citizens flocked to the outer ring.

"Captain Mark isn't even old enough, why is he going on such a long journey?"

"You didn't know that? The night before last, he helped a commoner get a heart transplant and injured quite a few city guards and priests. His departure was already a lenient treatment."

"Some people are saying that a lot of people died in the incineration plant explosion last night, and that it was all Captain Mark's doing."

"Huh? Then who will go to the ground to collect supplies?" Many people showed worried expressions.

"What's there to be afraid of? We still have Staff Officer Qin, right? They say Staff Officer Qin is even more capable than Captain Mark..."

As a tarpaulin-covered trailer slowly drove up, two heavily armed priests stood guard on either side, each holding an electric baton.

The crowd shouted, "Captain Mark!"

You must find the truth for us!

Qin Song stood beside Charles, looking down.

The lighthouse's brainwashing is truly powerful, making people treat long journeys as a sacred ritual.

Go ahead and shout, the louder you shout, the more disappointed you'll be later.

Ran Bing has now been accepted by him, and no one is accompanying her.

Qin Song looked around but didn't see a single hunter. A thought struck him: it seemed the hunters were about to rebel.

Fortunately, he had already arranged for Penny and Ran Bing to go to the secret base in advance; otherwise, they might have been incited by Mo Cheng and his men to come out and help Mark.

4068 stood behind Charles, his identification badge had turned blue, a symbol of the upper class.

He noticed Qin Song looking at him and quickly lowered his head, not daring to meet Qin Song's gaze.

Qin Song merely glanced at him indifferently and remained silent.

Just then, a dust mage suddenly darted toward the trailer.

The priest stepped forward, declaring, "No one is allowed to interfere with Captain Mark's departure ceremony!"

Dustman1225 gasped for breath, “I was about to die, but Captain Mark gave me a second life. I just want to thank him in person.”

"Me too! We're here to thank Captain Mark too!" the Dust People cheered.

Qin Song glanced at Charles; it seemed the blond-haired guy still had no intention of letting Mark go.

This 1225 was originally an upper-class citizen. Mark saved him by using his old-fashioned wife's heart after he stormed the medical department last time.

A commoner had his heart replaced with that of a commoner; given Charles's nature, he certainly wouldn't let such a good pawn go.

1225 gritted his teeth, suddenly rushed onto the trailer, and reached out to rip open the canvas.

"All of this! It's all your fault!"

However, the next second, he stared wide-eyed at the monster in front of him, whose body was riddled with bullet holes. Fear instantly overwhelmed him, and the dagger slipped from his hand, causing him to fall to the ground with a thud.

The entire audience erupted in uproar, their faces filled with terror.

"Wait! Is this Captain Mark?"

"How could it have turned out like this? It's terrifying!"

"What is this thing? Why does it have a tail?"

Startled awake by the surrounding noise, 1225 got up and ran around the trailer, yelling, "Come on! Look at this! What kind of bullshit Captain Mark is this? He's a monster! A monster!"

Someone in the crowd shouted, "Mark violated the Three Laws and blasphemed the Lord of Light and Shadow. His current state is the Lord of Light and Shadow's punishment! We should burn him!"

"Makes sense!"

"Yes!"

“Mark killed many people in the crematorium; a monster like him doesn’t deserve to travel far!”

The crowd's emotions were stirred up, and they immediately became indignant.

Burn him! Burn him!

Looking at the surging public opinion below, a smug smile appeared on Charles's lips.

"Mark can only take one of his body and his dignity with him..."

As if provoked, Mark roared and struggled violently, the huge iron chains binding him rattling loudly.

The dust-dwellers on the outside retreated in terror, but there were too many of them, and the fence suddenly collapsed, causing the crowd to scream as they fell to the ground.

"The Lord of Light and Shadow has punished us! It's all this monster's fault!"

"kill him!"

Many people rushed onto the tow truck and started punching and kicking Mark.

1225's head suddenly exploded.

"Ah! Dead!"

The crowd's eyes cleared instantly, and they hurriedly scattered to look at the high platform, where they saw Vatican holding up a pistol.

The scene fell silent for a moment.

One of them shouted, "Master! His hands are stained with blood. If he leaves alive, the Lord of Light and Shadow will surely unleash divine punishment. The tragedy just now was a harbinger!"

"Yes! We can't let him leave alive. Such a thing can never bring the truth back to the lighthouse; it will only bring disaster."

"When the Lord of Light and Shadow's punishment arrives, we will suffer endless pain and torment!"

"Let him die! Let him die!"

The roars gradually coalesced into a torrent.

Chapter 71 The One-Armed Little Yellow Hair

Qin Song shook his head slightly. This was the inherent weakness of human nature. Mark was still too naive, thinking that saving others or contributing to the lighthouse would earn him everyone's love and respect.

Unfortunately, under the distorted values ​​of the beacon, no one will truly be grateful.

Only strength is the truth.
