The girl with white hair and red eyes is serious about revenge

No matter what Lian's purpose is, no matter why she entered this "research institute" as Ivar called it, after entering this corridor, the group will face two [Blades of the Tower of Babel].

After Qi Lang's army entered, they took an inventory of the prisoners of war. Perlis asked about it and found out that there was no guard named Zu Chumen as she described.

Then, Zu Chumen is also at the end of this passage, with Lian.

Next, it's time to uncover the secrets of Far Town.

......

13) Elegy of Far Town (Part 11) -4k chapter-

"Identity confirmed...Dr. Shansen Rei..."

The door of the laboratory slowly opened, and a stale smell poured out, accompanied by a faint rumble from the netherworld.

Lian walked slowly into the laboratory, lit a weak light, and cooled the giant object in the center of the laboratory.

——That’s a jar.

There were numerous cables floating in the jar, seemingly tied to something. And in the light green liquid, two sets of lab coats were floating, but their owners had long since disappeared.

"You drifted away from here..." Zu Chumen's voice came from behind Lian, "To be honest, I wasn't there at the time and missed the show."

"Together, we created the monster that Sakura Shansen imagined," Lian said coldly, "but you betrayed us."

"Don't say that, Dr. Shansen Lian," Zu Chumen said politely, "Do you really expect the Red Devil to fall into the hands of the people of Yuanzhen after it is finally completed?"

"That's better than falling into the hands of the Federation," Lian said, "and without us knowing it."

"Hehe, please forgive me, but forgetting that past is a good thing for both you and me."

Zu Chumen said as he stood side by side with Lian, looking at the huge jar together.

"When did you escape from the Deep Diving Cradle? Before you defected to the Federation?"

"No, it was after Perlis Hafgard put a mental barrier on me," Lian said, "after I realized the existence of the cradle, I broke it."

"You are a genius to be able to remove the influence of the cradle for yourself," Zu Chumen smiled, "Then why don't you let the Red Devil wake up as well?"

"If she wakes up, she'll realize what she is and lose control."

Lian said this, walked to the jar, and gently stroked the transparent wall of the jar with one hand.

“Who would accept themselves as that?”

"Then let's put an end to her suffering," Zu Chumen said with a smile, "She is just an uncontrollable variable now. The fewer such things there are, the simpler our actions will be in the final game."

"Ah."

Lian squatted down in front of the huge jar, pressed a few buttons on the operating table, and then entered her key.

When she finished typing, the ceiling of the laboratory opened and a container slowly descended from the gap.

It was a square transparent container, its edges outlined by black iron wire, emitting a faint blue light.

In the center of the container, a diamond-shaped device was flashing with a faint black gas, spreading out in all directions.

Lian walked to the container, stretched out her hand, and opened it.

She held the container in her hand, her slender fingers trembling slightly.

"You hid the emergency control device so deep, you are worthy of it. No wonder I couldn't find it." Zu Chumen said with a smile, "Okay, quickly trigger the self-destruct system and let the body of the Red Devil be annihilated. I only need the heart."

"...Don't make a noise. I said I'd take action."

Lian looked at the device in her hand. She gently twisted the diamond-shaped corner, and a light blue light appeared from the gap.

This device is directly connected to Aoi's heart, the heart that does not belong to her.

As long as this button is pressed, Aoi's body will melt under the erosion of the heart, and she will die suddenly, leaving only a heart.

And that heart is exactly what Zu Chumen wants.

"..."

After a moment's silence, Lian took a deep breath and then stretched out her fingers.

However, she did not press the self-destruct button, but threw the device aside.

"[Phantom Herd]!"

The moment Lian shouted this, an illusory pig appeared in a corner of the laboratory and grabbed the diamond-shaped device.

At the same time, shadows emerged from the ground and instantly controlled Lian's limbs tightly.

A dark shadow approached quickly, and a sharp knife was pressed against her throat——

"guessed."

Zu Chumen grinned and grabbed Lian's wrist with one hand, trying to read the information from her terminal and control her phantom.

However, when he touched the pink children's watch on Lian's hand, he found that it was just an illusion.

—— Lian didn’t even carry the terminal!

"Everything has already started," Lian raised her neck and smiled fearlessly at Zu Chumen, "I will protect my sister."

"you..."

Zu Chumen turned his head and saw that the illusory pig had begun to glow, and blue arcs of electricity exploded in the air around it.

The thick shadow tried to approach the piglet, but was blocked by the surrounding factor shield and could not get close.

"That heart belongs to me," Zu Chumen yelled, "Give it back to me!"

At this moment, the door of the laboratory opened again, and Aoi appeared -

"pity!"

Aoi immediately saw Zu Chumen restraining her sister, and her body immediately turned red, with her eyes shining with bright golden light.

Hearing Aoi's voice, Zu Chumen smiled and then said softly:

"Then go to hell, Shan Senlian."

After he finished speaking, he slashed the sharp blade across Lian's neck without hesitation.

——but it missed.

"...!"

Zu Chumen was startled and subconsciously took two steps back, only to find that some pure white hair appeared in his field of vision.

At some point, Perlis had come in front of him and pushed Lian away.

"How is it possible? Could it be that..."

Zu Chumen looked at Perlis in front of him and a smile appeared on his face.

He waved his hand, and several spheres formed a stance, enclosing his body.

At this moment, Aoi's fist came over and hit the position exactly -

"boom!"

The scorching heat burst out, but did not penetrate the stand.

At this time, Zu Chumen turned his wrist and redirected the high temperature created by Aoi towards the illusory piglet.

"Buzzing..."

Under the scorching heat, the factor shield exploded, and the shadow poured into the body of the illusory piglet.

"squeak--"

The piglet screamed and disappeared. The shadows grabbed the diamond-shaped device and carried it towards Zu Chumen.

"Don't let him get it!" Lian shouted, "Otherwise..."

Before she could finish her words, a blue light lit up, destroying all those shadows, and a diamond-shaped device fell from the sky.

At this moment, all eyes were focused on the device, watching it slowly fall.

Zu Chumen was the one who reacted the fastest. He immediately used his stance to pull himself free, stretched out his hand, and grabbed the device.

——but only grabbed a pool of molten iron.

"Puchi-"

The flesh and blood made a sizzling sound as the molten iron burned. Zu Chumen fell to the ground, looking at his burned hand and frowned.

He turned his gaze and looked at Aoi beside him - her eyes were shining with golden light, but she looked a little tired.

"You have become more threatening than ever... [Red Devil]..."

Zu Chumen smiled, with a curved smile at the corners of his mouth.

Behind him, Perlis and Lian had surrounded him. Those positions had been destroyed by Perlis, and he had nowhere to escape.

As if knowing his fate, Zu Chumen bowed politely to Aoi:

"However, you are just an insignificant variable. Although it is a pity, it won't hurt to wait a little longer for my wish to come true."

As he spoke, Zu Chumen made a move that surprised everyone present—

——He thrust the sharp knife into his throat and pulled hard.

Blood gushed out, Zu Chumen fell to the ground twitching, and the darkness in his eyes dissipated.

The look in his eyes changed from calm to horror at the last moment, as if a soul was screaming sharply in that fleeting light.

Zu Truman is dead.

"..."

Perlis walked slowly to the side of the corpse and looked at the terrified face.

She knew that the person who died was the mayor's nephew, Zu Chumen, not the thing that controlled his body.

That thing cannot die due to the annihilation of the physical body.

"..."

On the other side, after confirming that Zu Chumen was eliminated, Aoi immediately turned his head and looked to the side.

She saw Lian sitting on the ground, staring blankly at the dead Zu Chumen without saying a word.

"pity..."

Aoi slowly walked over to Rei's side and looked down at her still shaking sister.

Lian didn't look at Aoi, but just kept muttering:

"Almost...almost..."

Aoi didn't say anything else. She didn't ask Lian why she did all this or why she disappeared without saying goodbye.

She just leaned over and gently held her sister in her arms:

"Be good...don't be afraid...it's okay..."

Aoi gently stroked the back of Lian's head, which finally brought Lian back to her senses. She stared blankly at her sister's embrace.

She trembled again and looked like she was about to cry, but she finally held it back.

"I...um...I'm sorry..."

Lian said softly, hugging Aoi as well, snuggling up to her favorite big guy.

After the two hugged each other for a while, Lian suddenly heard Aoi sobbing:

“Wu…wuwuwuwu…wuwuwuwaaaaah…”

The crying made Lian frown. She broke free from Aoi's embrace and saw her sister's helpless crying face:

“Wuwuwuwaaaaa…Lianbao…please don’t disappear suddenly…I’m scared to death wuwuwuwaaaa…”

Aoi's genuine expression gave Lian goose bumps all over her body. She pushed Aoi away and yelled:

"Why are you crying? You said hello to me when you disappeared? How dare you cry? I'll beat you to death!"

"Wow wow wow I don't care, you idiot can't take care of yourself wow wow..."

"What the hell do you care! Stop rubbing your snot on me! It's so disgusting!"

"..."
