Arknights, the Angel of Justice is waiting for level 16

"Ms. Muirseth, please stop talking nonsense and say something useful."

"Uh... Actually, the bounty and the hunt were all done by General Commander Kristen."

Muirseth tried to pass the buck, she even prepared a complete set of theories, but unfortunately she didn't use them because Ji Luo had already nodded.

"I know, I know all that. But ah——"

Ji Luo sighed and placed a small piece of Originium fragment on the table.

"Muirseth, you can understand me, the nightmare I've been through, and what I want...just revenge."

"I……"

Muirseth licked her lips, trying to show the sly smile she usually pretended to have, but the muscles on her face were a little stiff, and her expression became very ugly.

"I can tell you anything you want to know, but please don't..."

"It's okay, I won't kill you."

Ji Luo interrupted Muerseth and reiterated his decision emphatically.

"I won't kill you, but the positions you and I are in also make it impossible for me to trust you. So, you have to become one of your own."

"What...what do you mean?"

"Muirseth, because of the pursuit of Rhine Life, I became an infected person."

Ji Luo's expression was simple and calm, but Muirseth felt his heart tremble and all the muscles in his body tensed up.

"Ji Luo, I..."

"Either you become infected, or I kill you. Make your choice."

"..."

Although Muirseth is young, she has been able to become the director of the tenth department of Rhine Life Science. Her intelligence and experience are definitely far superior to most people.

But precisely because she understood the plight of the infected, she didn't want to become one, and could even be said to be afraid of it.

However, at this moment, Ji Luo seemed to give her two choices, but in fact she had no choice.

"Muerseth, I don't want to die. What about you? You don't want to die either."

"Yes……"

Muirseth bit her lip, her eyes were tearful, and she looked very pitiful. However, Ji Luo had no intention of showing any sympathy to her. He sat on the sofa with a deep and empty look in his eyes.

"Muerseth, I think you, the Rhine Life, should have analyzed my abilities. My Holy Flame can burn Originium and reduce the severity of the infection. You are infected with Originopathy, so I can give you power."

"it is good……"

Muirseth had held out some hope that she would be safe, but now, Ji Luo had told her his most important secret, and there was no way she could turn back.

Muirseth was not a hesitant person. She picked up the fragment of Originium on the table and stabbed it into her palm decisively.

Red blood slowly flowed out and dripped into a small pool on the coffee table. Muirseth looked at his palm, as if he felt no pain.

"Muirseth, you are welcome to join us."

Ji Luo stretched out his hand and tapped the palm of Muerseth's hand. The bracelet forged from holy flames on her arm instantly disintegrated and turned into a cluster of bright flames again.

Then, the tiny fragment of Originium was instantly burned up, and the Holy Flame followed the wound and penetrated into Muirseth's body.

Silently, the wounds cut by the Originium had completely healed, and no trace of injury could be seen.

"..."

It was difficult for Muirseth to describe her current mood. Anger, grievance, unwillingness, relief, etc., complex emotions mixed together made her want to cry.

Of course she hated Ji Luo a little, because it was he who forced her to this point.

But she could also understand Ji Luo, because she knew the inside story at that time and knew what kind of pursuit Ji Luo had suffered.

Now that she has been infected, Ji Luo's attitude towards her has softened. At least she doesn't have to worry about being killed at any time.

At the same time, Muirseth also clearly felt the holy flame burning in her body. This was the shackles that Ji Luo used to imprison her, and it was also a good medicine to relieve the mineralopathy.

Of course, Muirseth also had other thoughts.

Her race is called 'elves' and is now facing the crisis of extinction. Perhaps... Ji Luo's power can save them.

"Ji Luo, what do you want to know?"

"In Rhine's life, there is something about the remains of the evil star."

Ji Luo now has complete control over Muirseth's life. For the girl who is extremely afraid of death, Ji Luo has become her boss to whom she has to be loyal.

"As far as I know, all research on the remains of the star of disaster is in the charge of Ferdinand Clooney, the director of the energy department of Rhine Life."

"Has he come up with any results?"

"I'm not sure about that. But I know that when Rhine Life first came into contact with the remains of the Bane Star, it regarded it as a source of pollution and conducted research similar to that of a virus."

"So... you created a lot of corrosive bodies?"

"Yes, at that time we created a lot of corrosive bodies. Later, because the intelligence of the beasts was too low and they could not be controlled, the bodies we studied were replaced with humans. But so far, no one can withstand that kind of erosion."

Muirseth did not cover up the crimes of Rhine Life. In just a few words, she described the innocent deaths of hundreds of people and the tragic fate of the research subjects.

Ji Luo was mentally prepared. Although his brows were frowned, he did not show too much excitement.

"What do you think of the remains of the star of disaster?"

"Everyone is quite opposed to it, because that kind of erosion and pollution is too evil and dangerous. The current situation is that all those in Rhine who are interested in the "Remains of the Disaster Star" have been transferred to Ferdinand's subordinates."

It was obvious that Murseth did not have a good relationship with Ferdinand. He said he had information about him without any hesitation and without any discount.

By sensing the holy flame in Muerseth's body, Ji Luo was able to confirm her physical condition, and this ability was very suitable for use as a lie detector.

"Has Ferdinand made any big moves recently?"

"From what I know, he seems to have been very busy. A few days ago, he spent a huge amount of resources to completely take over a research project called the 'Loken Tank'. It is said that it is for that very special research body."

After all, Muirseth was not the general manager of Rhine Life, and she didn't know much about the research of other departments. In fact, there was implicit competition between the departments, and concealment and bluffing were normal.

"rosemary……"

Ji Luo's impression of the white-haired, mouthless, animal-eared loli was too deep. As soon as Muirseth mentioned the Locken water tank, Ji Luo thought of the answer.

That Ferdinand had completely gone astray. His research on the remains of the star of disaster did not focus on how to reduce and heal the erosion, but instead wanted to find a body strong enough to resist and adapt to the erosion.

——The Star of Misfortune is something outside this world. It is the remains of the Protoss. There are no humans in the Terra world who can withstand its power!

"Muerseth, besides that, did Ferdinand deliberately gather pioneers in the wilderness?"

"No, Ferdinand never bothered to contact pioneers. He was always so selfish."

The answer given by Muirseth is unlikely to be the whole of Rhine's life, but it can reveal the general trend.

Now, Ferdinand's main research focus is on Rosemary, and he is not presiding over the natural disaster sacrifice.

But Ji Luo didn't believe it. Tallulah told the commander-in-chief of Rhine Life how to use the remains of the evil star to create and control the natural disaster beast. How could the woman who yearned for the starry sky not be tempted and would not give it a try.

So... Rhine Life must be hiding a dark thread and is steadily advancing the process of natural disaster sacrifice.

This hidden line should be excluded from the ten subjects, otherwise, Muirseth would not have been unaware of it.

"Muerseth, who has your commander been in contact with recently? Are there any suspicious people?"

"Kristen? She seems to have had more contact with the military recently."

"Do you know who it is?"

"Eh? Well..."

Muerseth frowned, carefully recalling the recent information related to Christen, and finally said a name that shocked Ji Luo.

"Holhaiya."

Chapter 161: No risk, no gain

In Ji Luo's memory, most of the operators in Colombia could not withstand more than three punches from the Rhine Boxing Queen Saria.

And Holhaiya is an elusive and evaluable existence outside of the majority.

She is a historian, a mercenary, and the honorary president of the Columbia Association for Astrological Research.

In the game, she works with Rhine Life as a bibliographic consultant. On the surface, she is employed by Ferdinand, the director of the Energy Department, but in fact she takes orders from the Vice President of Colombia.

At this moment, based on Muirseth's description, Ji Luo can basically be sure that Holhaiya is now monitoring the secret transaction between Rhine Life and the Colombian military.

So, the question is, did Christen tell Holhaya the secret of the remains of the evil star and the natural disaster sacrifice?

If she didn't tell him, it would be fine, but once Holhaiya knew the secret, would she do nothing?

"Horhaiya..."

Ji Luo whispered the name, looking extremely solemn. Chen didn't know the identity of this person, so he asked.

"Chen, I suspect she is an ancient god, Quetzalcoatl."

Ji Luo is now only a little bit away from level 5. With the power of the Angel of Justice and the Star Core of Misfortune, he can crush 90% of Terra's people.

However, Ji Luo still had no confidence in defeating the ancient god, let alone an ancient god who might have obtained the power of the "Remains of the Star of Disaster" and could control the behemoth beast of natural disaster.

"..."

When Muirseth heard the word "ancient gods", she was also shocked. She had learned about those immortal beings with long lifespans from countless ancient books.

Therefore, Muerseth was even more frightened. He wondered what Christen and the ancient god talked about and why they seemed to be cooperating happily.

Chen also thought of Ji Luo's concerns. They could disregard the armed forces of Rhine Life as nothing, but the spying of an ancient god would definitely make them uneasy.

"Ji Luo, we must not allow an ancient god to gain the power of the 'Remains of the Scourge'."

"I understand, I understand..."

Ji Luo knew that she could not rely on Christen to keep the secret, so she spent hundreds of millions of dollars to learn the secret of the natural disaster sacrifice from Tallulah.

How could such a shrewd businessman not use this as a bargaining chip to exchange for greater benefits?

"Chen, we need to act separately."

"Okay, I'll go keep an eye on Hol Haiya."

Chen didn't say much, but a flash of lightning flashed in her eyes, proving her confidence.

The Blood Demon Lord of the Sarkaz cannot be considered an ancient god, but he is definitely not a mortal being. Since Chen was able to seriously injure and repel him, she can at least ensure her own safety when facing Horhaiya.

"That's all we can do. We need to change our plans."

Ji Luo no longer felt relaxed as before. The unexpected intervention of the ancient god had changed the nature of the whole matter.

He raised his head and his eyes stayed on Muirseth for a few seconds, causing the elf girl to shrink back in fear.

"Chen, bring Muir Seth with you. She's a local boss in Colombia and can save us a lot of trouble."

"Okay, I won't give her a chance to escape."

Chen obviously misunderstood Ji Luo's meaning, but Ji Luo didn't say much, just nodded.

"..."

Muirseth looked pitifully between the two of them and nodded very honestly.

"Please rest assured, I will do my best to help Miss Chen.

"That's good. In addition, I hope you can separate a water clone tomorrow to help me enter the Rhine Life."

Ji Luo had slowed down his tone at this time, but Muir Seth did not dare to refute at all and immediately agreed excitedly.

——As long as she is useful to Ji Luo, Chen will not kill her.

At this moment, Muirseth finally saw clearly that Ji Luo was not a bloodthirsty person, but Chen was different. She was really unreasonable and left no room for maneuver.

Muirseth felt bitter at the thought of following Chen in the future. She didn't dare to hold back any more and immediately told the two of them all the information about Rhine's life.

It has to be said that Ji Luo made a fortune by capturing Muirseth. This director of the ecology department, who appears cute on the outside but is actually a black-hearted person, knows too much information.

The conversation continued for nearly three hours until the three of them started to feel hungry and their stomachs started to growl.

Ji Luo got up and went to the kitchen to cook. Muir Seth huddled on the sofa like a poor little thing, but Chen turned on the TV and watched a funny talk show.

However, Chen was in a depressed mood and couldn't laugh at all. She listened to the funny jokes on TV with a gloomy face, and her whole body exuded a terrifying aura.

"..."
