Asura in Arknights

The knocking sound they heard in reality was actually this?

However, when Leon smashed that Originium lifeform into pieces with his cane, this strange situation didn't occur... If it did, the Rhodes Island members who approached him at that time, as well as Adele, should have heard the same sound.

Clearly, Ayin's actions weren't just a simple tap; he must have done something else as well.

"Then, by chance, I got through to Monique on her cell phone. That madwoman told me a way to leave this place, and I... I told her about it."

"Collect Originium, then blast open a passage?"

Roy nodded silently, his face full of regret.

If Monique hadn't been captured, he wouldn't be in this predicament now.

"That method does work, it's just that you were a little unlucky."

However, if they were to successfully detonate such a large explosive, even if it opened a passage, it would certainly cause a new disaster. Li Ang should thank Ferdinand; if he hadn't traveled all the way from Colombia, those guys might have actually succeeded.

"Go on," Li Ang nodded, gesturing for Roy to continue.

"And then? Then the stone fell from the sky. The madman ate the stone and turned into a monster."

“A week ago, he inserted the largest crystal into his chest, and soon after, a pile of minced meat exploded. That test tube was the one he gave me before he died.”

A week ago... when Li Ang and the others evacuated from the ruins of Plot 21, Ayin had already ended her life.

"Where are those crystals you mentioned? Where are they?"

Upon hearing this, Roy shook his head helplessly, "They've all disappeared, not even a trace remains... I don't know what happened, and I have no reason to lie to you."

Li Ang could sense that Roy was not lying; those crystals had disappeared along with Ayin's death.

Could it be that the Consciousness Empire discovered Ayin's spying, erased these remaining clues, and even silenced him? Otherwise, it's impossible to explain why the resilient Hai Si died so horribly.

Looking at that small piece of flesh in the test tube... if it really is a counterattack from the Consciousness Empire, then it's uncertain whether there's any valuable information inside.

Perhaps... we could try giving this to Shuiyue? See if he can extract the information from it.

Since they're both from the same sea, there must be a way, right?

Just as Li Ang was thinking this, Roy had already given up on treatment. He simply closed his eyes, looking like he was waiting to die.

"I've told you everything I needed to. You can proceed now. I hope you'll keep your promise and let Monique go."

"As you wish."

Li Ang nodded and agreed to Roy's final request.

He then released a weakened wave of killing intent, which swiftly knocked Roy unconscious.

From beginning to end, Li Ang never mentioned killing the two Azure Gold Grandmasters; it was all just Roy's own wild imagination.

It was certainly satisfying to see Roy out of the water, but it also meant losing the rest of his value.

As two Azure Gold Grandmasters of the Unarmored Alliance, it would be far more meaningful to either hand him over to the Grand Knight Commander as a favor or simply take him back and lock him up than to kill him outright.

The value of a living Azure King is incomparable to that of his corpse.

The Unarmored Alliance is indeed destroyed, but the Business Federation still exists.

Although they were badly hurt by the Grand Knight Commander in the short term, they will eventually come up with the idea of ​​forming a new Unarmored Alliance. At that time, the value of these two Azure Gold Lords will be demonstrated.

Carefully protecting his spoils—a piece of flesh and blood of the Sea King that might contain the secrets of the Conscious Empire, and the unconscious Azure King Roy—Leon returned to where he had appeared, once again tearing open the passage to reality.

This time, Li Ang could clearly feel that the barrier here was quite fragile, and its self-healing speed was almost non-existent.

In the end, Li Ang used his half-baked spatial abilities to forcibly close the crack.

Li Ang had a premonition that if this weak point were to be exposed again, it wouldn't be easy to close it again.

Fortunately, apart from Li Ang, there were very few people who could open the gap here.

Carrying a large, living person severely slowed down Li Ang's speed. By the time he returned to the Great Knight Territory, a whole night had passed.

In the office, Li Ang saw Hinterlea, who had dark circles under her eyes.

Because of this sudden overtime work, the secretary's expression towards Li Ang was very unfriendly.

Before Hinterlea could speak, Li Ang tossed the still unconscious Roy over and said, "This is a gift for you, consider it compensation for your hard work this overtime."

"I think... you'll like this gift."

Upon seeing Roy lying at her feet, Hinterlea was taken aback for a moment, then her previous displeased expression vanished, replaced by a perfectly professional smile.

"Yes, boss, I like it very much."

-------------------------------------

Chapter 104 The Last End

Xintelaiya was very satisfied with the overtime gift that Li Ang sent.

Hinterlea generously forgave them and told Leon that the company building was currently short two security guards.

After confirming that Cintraya was absolutely certain, Li Ang, with very mixed feelings, agreed to her request.

However, Li Ang always felt that Hinterlaya was planning to take revenge for all the oppression she had suffered in the past.

Now, the positions of Hinterlea and the two lapis lazuli can be said to be completely reversed.

Hinterlea's identity has now been cleared, while the two Azure Gold Grandmasters are still living in the shadows.

As a high-ranking member of the Unarmored Alliance, Hinterlea's methods were not necessarily much weaker than those of the two Azure Gold Saints. However, she was troubled by her inability to ascertain their true identities. Roy and Monique were not necessarily their real names; they were just the names they used most often.

But things are different now; Hintleya has figured out their weaknesses.

To Li Ang's slight surprise, Roy and Monique did not show much emotion after hearing the decision and calmly accepted Hinterlea's arrangement.

Their spirits seemed to have been elevated, and their composure was so calm that it was somewhat suspicious.

In any case, the series of disturbances that occurred in the Great Knight Territory have finally come to a peaceful end.

......

Through Hintlea's contact, Ioleta dispatched nearly two hundred knights to fight.

This was an elite force that Ioleta had specially left in the Great Knight Territory as a precaution after the last annihilation of the Unarmored Alliance. It also included several members of the Silver Spear Pegasus Knights.

Agents are just agents after all. They can bully a few infected knights, but they have no chance of winning in a head-on battle with the army. Lucifer, who was still hiding in the stronghold and dreaming of the future, was helplessly pierced through by the conquering knights.

The knights' features were quite distinctive, so they never suspected that it was Sona who was behind it all.

After the mastermind Lucifer was killed by the Silver Spear Pegasus, Sona successfully rescued her friends.

Although they appeared somewhat listless due to hunger, they did not suffer too much torment.

According to them, the treatment they received during this period was even better than when they were in the underground arena, leaving one unsure whether to criticize the leniency of those people or the ruthlessness of the Business Federation.

During the Knights' campaign to capture the Deeppool agents, a rather unexpected incident occurred.

Because those people resisted fiercely, many were mistakenly killed by the conquering knights, but after they died, a strange purple flame ignited on their bodies.

Driven by those purple flames, the corpses rose again and again, causing great trouble for the conquering knights. Even if the corpses were chopped into pieces, they could be glued back together time and time again.

The Originium Arts of the Silver Spear Pegasus warriors mainly focus on enhancing the thrusting ability of heavy lances, making them almost ineffective against this type of enemy.

The purple flames are also suspected to be contagious; if you are killed by those resurrected corpses, you will most likely end up like them.

If Adele hadn't been somewhat worried and accompanied Sona, the raid that night would likely have escalated to an uncontrollable level.

Adele's magic destroyed the magical structure of the purple flames, causing the resurrected corpses to return to dust.

Later, Adele told Leon that it wasn't fire at all, but a unique Originium Arts that was more special and similar to Sarkaz sorcery.

In short, Deeppool has proven their danger with facts, and the Meshko Group, which dared to cooperate with them, will probably not escape the Grand Knight's punishment this time.

With the assistance of the Securities and Futures Commission, the unfortunate Miss Destreet was also freed from the embarrassing situation of being 'dead'.

Long Ridges Law Firm seemed intent on making amends for its previous mistakes, but Destreet, who had practically died once, was utterly unconvinced by their sweet talk.

Li Ang arranged for his secretary to meet with Destreet once, and successfully won over this outstanding legal talent.

Now, Destreet is gathering evidence to sue the law firm Long Reins and the Meshco Group that turned her into this.

As for her small apartment that was blown up, and all the belongings inside...

Unfortunately, although Li Ang knew it was done by the Rhine Lab's Components Department, they did not have concrete evidence.

Moreover, even if there is evidence, Rhine Life is a company of Colombia, and the difficulty of filing a cross-border lawsuit is comparable to climbing to the sky. Even if Destle was unwilling, she could only swallow her anger.

However, Descartes was somewhat relieved that at least she was still alive and hadn't lost her job, which was a stroke of luck amidst misfortune.

......

After a period of rest and renovation, Sona and her friends returned to their peaceful lives.

However, some of them are naturally restless and seem to be planning to take this opportunity to participate in the Knights' Tournament as infected individuals.

Even Sona herself seems to have this intention.

Red Pine, that was originally the name prepared for her future knightly order.

Although currently only Blood Knights are allowed to establish Infected Knight Orders, this restriction will eventually be lifted.

The benefits brought by Plot Zero have begun to materialize. Although there were several major disturbances along the way, these incidents were all attributed to the Deep Pool agents, and in fact, they were the ones who did it.

Even the most primitive form of capitalism is still worse than a slave society that doesn't treat infected people as human beings.

Before the Business Federation's appetite is satisfied, the treatment of the infected will indeed improve significantly, which is one of the few things Li Ang can do for them.

......

After recovering from his wounds, Ferdinand hurriedly returned to Colombia.

The military liaison has discovered his mysterious disappearance, and if he doesn't return soon, the Energy Department may be in serious trouble.

Ferdinand was still not convinced by the experimental data of Project Dream, so he left behind his most outstanding apprentice, Elena, to continue to be in charge of the investigation of the ruins of Plot 21.

Of course, Elena also served as a communication channel between Leon and Ferdinand, at least in terms of jointly dealing with Christensen, the two sides reached an agreement.

However... the little bird still hasn't realized that the 'knight' who saved them and the important partner the boss entrusted to them are actually the same person.

This is also an option that Li Ang keeps in mind.

If he were to travel to Colombia next, Li Ang did not want to rely on Ferdinand's connections. Dealing with such a shrewd person meant he had to be careful not to be taken advantage of at every step.

It was more reassuring to see the Ubika sisters, and Li Ang did indeed need to look at the astrological data that their family had collected over generations.

......

After waking up, Viviana did not immediately go to find Adele, and it seemed that everything had returned to the way it was at the beginning.

However, Viviana later sent Adele a letter detailing everything she knew about the Earthly Voice.

The Sound of the Mortal World is a special melody, and can also be regarded as a spell configuration of the classical Originium Arts of Letania.

This kind of melody is not something that just anyone can learn; it requires considerable talent to even be qualified to learn it.

However, once the Muse learns the Sounds of the Mortal Realm, this melody will be forever ingrained in the warlock's mind. When using classical music Originium Arts, it can greatly amplify the power of Originium Arts, just like performing in a concert hall.

However, this was merely a lure cast by the voice of the mortal world.

As the warlock uses the Earthly Voice more and more, a voice will appear in his mind, a voice that calls itself the "Witch King".

However, Viviana stated in her letter that it was merely a trap set by the Twin Queens.

Once the host of the Voice of the Mortal Realm hears that voice, it means that the seeds they have sown have reached the harvest time. At this time, the Queen's Voice will appear to reap these ripe fruits.

Although it's unclear why Viviana wanted to contact them in this way, her reminder was indeed of great help to them.

The second half of Viviana's performance has only just begun, and there is still a long buffer period for them.

......

Shuiyue successfully fulfilled Li Ang's request. He performed very well at the press conference, behaving perfectly so that no one noticed anything amiss.

Li Ang, in a way, fulfilled part of his promise.

Although Ayin consumed the remains of the Pathshaper that fell into the Great Knight Territory, the small piece of flesh he left behind, which may have contained information about the Consciousness Empire, still possessed the characteristics evolved from the Pathshaper.

Shuiyue said he should be able to extract the information from the flesh and blood, but Li Ang warned him about the dangers of the Consciousness Empire, which made Shuiyue suppress his restless heart.

In the end, Li Ang still handed the test tube to Shuiyue.

Shuiyue, also a member of the Hai family, has a way to maintain the activity of that piece of flesh for a long time.

As long as you don't read the information inside rashly, that thing should be safe.
