Snapped.
Luo Cheng supported the unconscious Ifrit and prevented her from falling in the magma. She was already unconscious and could no longer use the Originium skills to defend against the high temperature. If she really fell, she would probably lose half her life.
"I'll repay your kindness." Luo Cheng said to the unconscious Ifrit in the hell of fire that they had created together.
Logically, he should immediately eliminate anyone who showed serious hostility towards him and was capable of threatening his life.
But he doesn't like to owe others.
When Luo Cheng was imprisoned, it was because Ifrit's Originium skills went out of control during the experiment that caused a riot, allowing him to break free from surveillance and successfully control Ina, allowing Lingyi to be born. Although Ifrit didn't know about this, Luo Cheng still accepted her kindness and kept it in his heart.
So even though Luo Cheng had a more violent ability to defeat Ifrit head-on, he did not use violent means that might cause his death. Instead, he went in a big circle and took advantage of the child's lack of combat experience to find the right opportunity to capture him with poison gas.
...Of course, part of the reason was that Luo Cheng was curious about what changes had taken place in Ifrit that allowed him to gain such extraordinary power, and he wanted to see if he could get one for himself.
The battle is over.
Next, I have to go find my daughter. I don’t know where she was blown by the wind.
...The distance is too far, and the [Right of Reproduction] cannot sense it.
Oh, take your time to look for it.
Luo Cheng jumped up with the unconscious Ifrit.
.
.
.
"What on earth happened at the institute?!"
Although she didn't hold out much hope, Rhine Life Defense Department Director Saria still assembled a rescue team and rushed to the disaster site in a hurry.
They thought they would return empty-handed, but unexpectedly, they had an unexpected gain at the outermost edge of the disaster battlefield that stretched for several kilometers.
There the rescue team found a girl in a torn white coat.
She looked a little disheveled, but didn't have many injuries on her body. Judging from her clothes, she probably knew something.
Caught a big fish!
"Answer me!" Saria asked sternly.
This is a major event that concerns the lives of nearly a thousand people, and judging from the horrific scene just now, what happened in the research institute may even affect the city more than ten kilometers away, and the only person who may know about it is standing there pretending to be dumb and keeping silent!
She was so anxious that she couldn't help but grab Lingyi's collar.
Lingyi still didn't speak. It wasn't because her vocal cords had problems in the previous fire, but because she didn't know what to say and could only respond in silence.
As a member of Rhine Life, the young employee Ina has a lot of information about Saria, the company's big boss, in her memory.
Kind, reliable, dedicated, strong, and an all-rounder across multiple technical fields... Despite all the praises, some of Rhine Life's employees have a different evaluation of him.
Inexperienced, foolish, rigid... Employees who have such views are all people who live in the dark side of Rhine life.
Rhine Life Science is a complex company. On the surface, everything it does is legal and compliant, but secretly it has done a lot of shady things.
Saria is one of the few senior executives in the company who lives completely on the bright side of the company. She knows very little about the dirty deeds done by the company, and everything she knows is handled by her according to the law.
His hatred of evil and his talent that the company can't bear to part with, the two together, eventually led to a situation where all levels of the company that knew about it tacitly "acted" to cover up most of the dark side of the company, leaving only a very small part that they couldn't detect.
If I tell everything, judging by Saria's past behavior, it will definitely cause an uproar and bring countless troubles to myself and my father.
But if you don’t say...
Feeling the growing urgency and anger in the eyes of Saria opposite her, Lingyi's body trembled slightly.
"...Um, lady, could you please take your hands off her?" A familiar voice sounded beside my ears. I turned around suddenly and the figure I once feared now brought me an infinite sense of security.
"Father……"
Chapter 8: Getting to Know Saria
Luo Cheng's first impression of Saria was not good.
One is that she was physically abusive towards her own daughter.
Second, her fully armed soft armor and shield have extremely eye-catching Rhine Life logos.
Luo Cheng felt annoyed when he saw the Möbius strip of Rhine life.
The reason he didn't take action immediately was because Lingyi kept winking at him.
Saria's first impression of Luo Cheng was even worse.
He was shirtless and wore simple trousers woven from tree bark and leaves. An unconscious little girl was tucked under his armpit, and the child was wearing a dress woven from leaves. He looked suspicious no matter how you looked at him.
The reason why Luo Cheng and the others were dressed like this was certainly not because he took advantage of Ifrit's coma to do something to send him to prison.
But under the endless flames, neither of them had the ability to protect their clothes. From the first time they met to the end of the battle, they had always been in a state of "being honest with each other", but neither Ifrit nor Luo Cheng were the kind of people who cared about such trivial matters when they were brushing shoulders with death.
"Who are you?" With the energy of Originium circulating in her body, Saria looked warily at Luo Cheng who was approaching step by step.
"Me?" There was a hint of surprise in Luo Cheng's eyes. He seemed to understand why Ling Yi gave him a look.
As a member of Rhine Life who rushed to the scene as soon as the accident occurred at Hayden Pharmaceutical Research Institute, the woman in front of him did not recognize herself as the material for the oripathy immunity experiment, nor did she recognize Ifrit, the core of the [New Flame Demon Project]!
Unwitting innocents who had nothing to do with the plan?
Obviously, her power far exceeds that of everyone else Luo Cheng has seen since he traveled through time. She is a rare talent no matter where she is. From the respectful attitude of others around her, it can be seen that she is in a high position in the life of Rhine, but she is completely unaware of her own existence...
interesting.
"Did you know that Hayden Pharmaceuticals, which has disappeared, is secretly controlled by Rhine Life?" Instead of introducing himself, Luo Cheng asked a question.
After the battle just now, Luo Cheng measured the power he possessed more accurately.
He was currently unable to contend with the Terran society as a whole, but as for Rhine Life… although he might not win in the end, he already had the ability to compete with this giant corporation.
Holding a sharp blade and being brave!
Luo Cheng, who has become a 'strong man', naturally does not want to engage in intrigues or battles of wits and courage at this time. Unlike Ling Yi, who is hesitant, he directly hits a straight ball.
"What?" The huge amount of information contained in these short sentences made Saria stunned.
"We are the experimental subjects who escaped from Hayden Pharmaceuticals. Does the mission you have received include re-capturing us and continuing the illegal experiments?" When saying this, Luo Cheng's tone was sincere and calm, as if he was talking about something as ordinary as eating French fries tonight.
"I……"
Sincerity is the sure winner.
Under Luo Cheng's bombshells one after another, not only Saria, but also the other members of the rescue team who formed a defensive formation to guard against the uninvited guests were all confused.
Is this true? I don't know.
After undergoing multiple transformations on himself, Luo Cheng's insight has far surpassed that of ordinary people. Through various small movements and micro-expressions, he knows clearly that the people on the opposite side are really unaware... unless all of them are movie stars.
"Don't believe it?" Luo Cheng smiled.
"My name is Luo Cheng, I used to live in Goyo City. This child is Ifrit, and the one over there is an employee of your Rhine Life who was transferred here. Her name is Yina. It will be much easier for you to confirm these names. I know that words are not enough, so you can find the answer yourself."
As Luo Cheng finished speaking, Saria's expression became uncertain.
The other members of the rescue team all turned their eyes to their boss.
They were extremely nervous. Although they didn't know the whole situation, they could feel the deep darkness just from Luo Cheng's few words. Adding on the disaster-like scene not long ago, they knew there was a huge trouble!
They were extremely resistant in their hearts, but looking at the director's expression and considering her past personality, they knew they probably couldn't escape.
On the surface, everyone is an individual and an employee of Rhine Life, but the internal situation of Rhine Life is complicated. It is a company established by several founders due to various reasons. The employees of Rhine Life have joined different founders based on their own interests, personalities, preferences, and expertise, forming one faction after another.
Cooperate with each other and compete with each other at the same time.
This matter is not a minor one like the previous ones. If Director Saria really insists on wading into this deep and muddy water and encounters any mishap, and loses power in the company, then the days of these "old ministers of the previous dynasty" will probably be very difficult.
"Okay, I've said what I need to say. Even if I tell you all the other relevant details, I don't think you will believe them all, so I won't waste our time. No matter what decision you make next, it's your freedom. I don't want to interfere."
"Now, give the child back to me." Luo Cheng pointed at Ling Yi, who had been released by Saria but was surrounded by the rescue team.
"...No." After a moment's silence, Saria chose to refuse.
"Oh~?" The smile gradually disappeared from Luo Cheng's mouth, and his eyes turned cold.
"why."
"If what you said is true, then you are victims who should be protected, and I will punish the mastermind behind it according to the law. If what you said is false, then you are a suspicious person who is full of lies, and you may even be directly related to the Hayden Pharmaceutical disaster. Whether it is protection or arrest, I cannot let you disappear from my sight."
Was the disaster-like scene caused by Luo Cheng's attack alone? In her past, Saria had never encountered a strong man of this level, so she didn't even think about it.
In her imagination, it might have been caused by some giant bomb or prehistoric machine.
"Mustard, Heavy Punch, Blue Flag!" Saria called out the code names of her three subordinates.
"Take off your protective armor and masks and give them to them." Saria ordered in a deep voice.
Assuming what Luo Cheng said was true, then Rhine Life might have video footage of the three of them. In order to avoid alerting the enemy, they had to dress them up to conceal their physical features.
Faced with Saria's unquestionable strength, the murderous intent in Luo Cheng's pupils disappeared.
Because they have more people and are more confident, they think they have the upper hand and can order people around?
This kind of thing doesn't matter at all.
Looking at Saria's pretty and stern face, combined with everyone's reactions and her words and actions, Luo Cheng had a rough idea of her character.
Luo Cheng suddenly had an idea.
Originally living a peaceful life as an ordinary person, he was suddenly captured and suffered hardships. Now that he has become powerful, how could Luo Cheng swallow this!
The more you endure, the angrier you will get; if you take a step back, the more resentment you will feel!
Confucius said, repay kindness with kindness, and repay evil with justice!
He dared to do such an evil thing. If he didn't destroy Rhine's life to pieces and punish all those who knew about it and fanned the flames, he would be unworthy of his own power!
Of course, his intelligence was still there, and he knew that for a giant enterprise like Rhine Life with far-reaching connections and complicated interests, taking a hard line would be the worst option among all.
If he attacked head-on and started killing without mercy, he would not only have to face Rhine Life, but the combination of all stakeholders. He might even be exploited by the laws of Colombia to turn against him and become the enemy of the entire country. If he accidentally touched the unspoken rules of Terra society, it is not impossible that he would attract more unexpected enemies.
So Luo Cheng has to use some smarter methods.
As the saying goes, the strongest fortress often collapses from within. A great man also said that there are no factions within the party, and all kinds of strange things can happen.
And isn't this woman in front of me the best weapon to defeat the enemy from within?
"Okay." After thinking it over, Luo Cheng faced with Saria's dominance, instead of arguing with her, he smiled and obediently put on the defensive armor and mask that covered his face.
With Luo Cheng and the other two, Saria's rescue convoy restarted and circled the former site of Hayden Pharmaceutical Research Institute several times. After confirming again and again that there were no other survivors, Saria's face became so gloomy that it seemed like water was about to drip out.
The search and rescue was fruitless, so she had no choice but to order the convoy to return to the city.
No member of the Hayden Pharmaceutical Research Institute survived!
This is the final word.
.
.
.
In the city, at the Rhine Life Research Institute.
As soon as Saria and her team got off the car, Parvis, one of the senior executives of Rhine Life, who had been waiting for some time, and the director of the Life Structure Department, immediately came to greet them.
"How's it going, Saria? How many people did you rescue?"
His eyes passed over Parvez's Caprini horns, all the way down to his wrinkled forehead, and looked directly into the old man's anxious eyes.
If it weren't for Luo Cheng's previous words, perhaps she would have regarded the old man's anxiety, which was completely different from his usual calmness, as his eagerness to save people, but now... Saria's heart sank as she tried hard to control her expression.
What Luo Cheng said is 80% true.
Parvez may be an insider. The director of the Life Structure Department knows about it, so what about the directors of other departments? How many people in Rhine Life know about it?
The commander-in-chief...does she know...
"Hehe, no one was rescued!" A funny voice sounded from the side. The young man who came back with him walked over quietly and took off his protective mask.
Looking at the old goat Parvez's pupils suddenly shrinking, Luo Cheng's smile became even brighter.
