Arknights, the Angel of Justice is waiting for level 16

"So, we also need to prepare a plan to take them away by force, right?"

Krush really wanted to hear "no need" from Jianlei, but this was obviously impossible.

"Captain Krush, I know this is difficult, but this is Mr. Ji Luo's request."

"I... understand. Bai Hua promises to complete the mission!"

Chapter 175: Killing You a Thousand Times Is Not Enough

Ji Luo's death message successfully caused a stir in Tremont. His experience was widely publicized, and everyone wanted to kill Rhine Life...

Almost everyone thought that Jilo was dead. But Hemer, who participated in the implantation operation, knew that Jilo was still alive.

But...it's already exhausted.

After being implanted with the remains of the evil star, ordinary test subjects suffered from severe erosion. Like white paper stained black by ink, they quickly lost their self-identity and turned into monsters.

But Ji Luo is different. There is a power in his body that can fight against the remains of the evil star. The two sides continue to strangle each other and the fight will not stop until one dies.

Under the wear and tear of this confrontation, Guilo's body continued to weaken. Ferdinand and Parvez made many efforts, but without exception, all their attempts failed.

Ji Luo's current state is like a candle that is gradually burning out, or a flower that has lost its roots and is slowly withering.

All researchers at Rhine Life believed that Ji Luo would not survive more than three days and would die soon.

However, Ji Luo's tenacity was beyond everyone's imagination. He was in a coma for more than a week and still did not die.

"It's almost reached its limit."

Hemer held today's test data in his hand, his cheeks flushed with anger.

A living, healthy person's life came to an end because of an inhumane experiment.

On the day when Ji Luo was implanted with the remains of the evil star, he still remained handsome and elegant, but a week later, his body became thin and haggard, and his skin no longer had any blood color.

"I'm sorry I couldn't save you."

Hemer looked at Ji Luo's still heaving chest, a look of sadness on his face.

The young man, whose fire of life was about to burn out, took every breath with all his strength, as if he was fighting with death.

But everything is irreversible, and letting him continue to hold on will only increase his pain. Perhaps removing the respirator and letting him rest in peace is the greatest mercy to him.

Thinking of this, Hemer stretched out her hand tremblingly and grasped the oxygen supply switch, her reason and emotion entangled and confronting each other.

"Hemer, what are you doing!?"

Dorothy happened to walk into the laboratory at this time. When she saw the expression of the Liberi girl, she immediately understood what she was thinking.

"He's not dead yet, he still wants to live, you have no right to treat him like this!"

"..."

In response to Dorothy's condemnation, Homer remained silent.

A few days ago, Ferdinand and his companions were full of hope for Jiluo. They solemnly promised General Christen that Jiluo would become the first perfect implanter of the remains of the evil star.

But in the blink of an eye, the situation deteriorated. No matter how ambitious they were in the past, they became as clownish as they are now.

Now, everyone has given up on Ji Luo. They are just waiting for him to die, and then dig out the remains of the evil star from his body and continue with the next experiment.

"Director Dorothy, why are you here?"

"I want to see him off for the last time."

Dorothy had no intention of arguing with Hemer. She had once had high expectations for Jiluo, but now that things had come to this point, nothing mattered.

"When he first came here, I saw him jumping around and cursing Ferdinand. But now, he is about to die."

"All of this is life."

Hemer had already prepared to leave Rhine's life. At that moment, she was moved by Dorothy's emotions and even wanted to invite her to go with her.

But thinking of Ifrit, and considering the unexpected and danger, she still said nothing.

"Here, I leave it to you."

Perhaps Hemer felt guilty, or she could not look directly at Ji Luo at this moment. The Liberi girl said goodbye softly and walked out of the laboratory.

Dorothy ignored Hemer who was leaving. She looked at the thin and haggard Ji Luo, slowly stretched out her hand and placed it on his forehead.

"Rest in peace, child."

"I'm still... not dead."

Ji Luo suddenly opened his eyes as if he was having a last breath. He was already on the verge of death, and his voice was so small that it was barely audible.

"You are urging me to rest... because you have something to hide?"

"Ji Luo, you..."

Dorothy looked at Jiluo in shock. She couldn't imagine what kind of willpower Jiluo had to wake up from his death slumber.

"You're going to die. Waking up would only add to your pain."

"Maybe."

This was the first time that Ji Luo was so close to death, but he not only did not feel any fear, but instead felt that this elusive feeling made him feel extremely peaceful.

"Dorothy, do you want to leave Rhinelife?"

"..."

"Ahem~ Forget it, there are surveillance cameras around, you don't have to answer me."

"..."

"Just think of it as a dying man's message. Rhine Life and you have a different path. You have to turn back."

Ji Luo already had plans for the future in mind. A bioengineering researcher like Dorothy was an indispensable talent, and he had to take her away no matter what.

"Rhine Life has become a cancer of humanity. People who are used to the smell of blood and slaughter will never be able to return to the right path. You... can still turn back."

"Ji Luo, what's the point of you saying this now?"

Dorothy's recent research project has almost come to a standstill, and she is spending more and more time thinking about the future.

When she first joined Rhine Life, the company still maintained its belief in saving lives.

But when it came into contact with the remains of the evil star and gradually became addicted to it, it began to be distorted into a monster.

It’s not that Dorothy hasn’t thought about leaving, but she is not an ordinary researcher, she is the director of the Life Source Stone Technology Application Department.

——She knew too many secrets, Rhine Life would not let her go, and leaving would be equivalent to choosing death.

Once upon a time, Ji Luo's existence gave her a glimmer of hope for the future, but now that Ji Luo was about to die, what else could she do?

"Dorothy, my companions will contact you shortly. Give them... a chance."

Ji Luo raised his arm with all his strength and touched the back of Dorothy's hand with his fingertips. The girl suddenly felt the pain of being burned by hot oil, and then the pain quickly disappeared, as if it was just an illusion.

"Ji Luo, what did you do?"

"In the future, you will know. But now, go ahead and prepare to leave."

Ji Luo waved at her and slowly closed his eyes, as if he was too weak to speak.

Dorothy pursed her lips and finally did not ask any further questions. Instead, she turned and walked out.

When the Zarak girl walked out of the laboratory door, she happened to bump into Ferdinand, but the two did not communicate much. They nodded to each other and passed by each other.

Before, Ferdinand was still wary of Dorothy, worried that she would do something stupid that would threaten the experiment.

But at this moment when Ji Luo has lost the meaning of existence, Dorothy no longer has this ability.

"Ji Luo, you really disappoint me~"

Ferdinand walked straight to Jiluo, looked at him coldly, and reached out to turn off the oxygen supply system.

"Waste of money... I wasted so much time on this!"

"Well... that's too much."

When Jiluo heard Ferdinand's voice, he slowly opened his eyes, but his pupils were dilated as if he were a blind man.

"Ferdinand, so many people died because of you, aren't you afraid?"

"Scared? Haha~ What a ridiculous idea. I just didn't expect that you could wake up~"

Ferdinand now felt extremely angry. He had wasted so many resources and even brought infamy to Rhine Life. It could be said that he had already gambled on his reputation.

It would be good if the experiment of transplanting the remains of the evil star he presided over was successful. After all, the winner takes all. Even if he wanted to seize the power of the general manager, he would have some hope.

But now, the experiment has failed, and the morale of the company is unstable. Those who used to be on good terms with him have shrunk to places where they cannot be seen, like octopuses burned by fire.

"Ji Luo, I admit that you have the strongest willpower among all my experimental subjects. But even so, what's the use?"

Ferdinand recalled the dirty words that Jilo had used to curse him, and a ferocious smile slowly appeared on his face. He picked up the scalpel next to him and stabbed it into Jilo's heart!

"Don't worry, after you die, I will let Dorothy go down with you. She won't let you be alone."

Ferdinand felt a sense of pleasure of revenge. He looked at Ji Luo spurting blood and felt more refreshed than ever before.

Unfortunately, Ferdinand's happiness only lasted for a few seconds.

Because the back of his hand was already stained with Ji Luo's blood, just when he thought it had no effect, the bright red blood suddenly turned into flames and began to burn!

The pure white flame seemed to not allow any dirt. The scorching heat distorted the air and burned Ferdinand's body.

“No! How is this possible! No—!!!”

Ferdinand felt the threat of death. He let out a shrill scream and hurriedly opened the water pipe next to him to try to put out the fire.

However, the Star Holy Flame was not afraid of water at all. Ferdinand's self-rescue was not only meaningless, but made the Holy Flame burn even more vigorously.

In just a few tens of seconds, Ferdinand's entire left arm was burned beyond recognition by the flames, like a piece of charred meat.

At this time, Ferdinand, who loved to watch the subjects die in pain, finally lost his former arrogance and cruelty.

As he struggled and tumbled, the pure white flames never went out, and even spread all over Ferdinand's body, like an evil spirit that was haunting and gnawing at him.

"Help! Help!!!"

Ferdinand's screams alarmed the nearby department. More than a dozen researchers rushed into the laboratory and were shocked by Ferdinand's miserable condition.

Fortunately, someone reacted quickly enough. He picked up the fire extinguisher next to him and started spraying it frantically on Ferdinand.

Unfortunately, this was meaningless. The holy flame that was deliberately controlled by Ji Luo not only showed no signs of extinguishing, but exploded instantly, scaring everyone so much that they started running away.

"Don't abandon me! Save me!"

Ferdinand fell to the ground, trying to beg those who had escaped to come back quickly and save his life.

It’s a pity that all this is just wishful thinking.

After trying all methods to extinguish the fire, Ferdinand was torn and eaten alive by the flames, ending his life in the most painful way.

"Finally...it's started~"

Ji Luo on the experimental table suddenly let out a creepy laugh, and then pure white flames surged out of his body, enveloping him completely.

"「Flame Impact Q」!"

Ji Luo raised his hand and opened a portal at his side. Ten constantly burning flaming blades emerged from it and formed a circular sword formation around him.

Bang~!

At this time, after receiving the alarm from the researchers, the defense personnel of Rhine Life finally arrived. Holding powerful firearms in their hands, they attacked Ji Luo mercilessly!

"It's meaningless~"

Ji Luo pushed his hands forward, and ten flaming blades flew past. More than twenty heavily-armored warriors were slaughtered in an instant.

At this moment, Ji Luo deliberately maintained a haggard and miserable image. He raised his hand and snapped his fingers, activating the authority to control space and instantly appeared in the surface headquarters of Rhine Life.

"Lain. Life!"

Ji Luo let out an angry roar, and he released all ten flaming blades, which then exploded one by one, creating ten huge gaps in the headquarters building of Rhine Life.

After making sure he had played enough scenes, Ji Luo ran out of the building without stopping. He deliberately suppressed the flames on his body and was hit by two etching bullets in a row, looking extremely miserable.

"Rhine Life! You've turned me into a monster! Even if I kill you a thousand times, it won't be enough!"

Ji Luo was really desperate this time. He yelled and ran towards the main gate where there were the most reporters.

The guards at the gate of Rhine Life would certainly not let Ji Luo go, but due to his deliberate performance, the pictures taken by the reporters were all pictures of Ji Luo being tortured beyond recognition, as well as the tragic scene of him being injured and shot.
