Looking at the two sisters fighting with each other, Pearlis and Carly smiled at each other helplessly and did not disturb them.

They first dragged Zu Chumen's body to the corner of the wall, confirmed that he did not leave any tricks behind, and then walked towards Aoi and Lian.

At this time, the two sisters had calmed down. Aoi took out a pink children's watch from her pocket, grabbed her sister's hand, and put it on her:

"This is the birthday present I gave you a long time ago. If you want to get a terminal, you should change it. This one is too old."

"What's it to you? I'm happy to use this."

"I'll give you a new one."

"...oh..."

After Carly and Perlis walked up to the sisters, Lian raised her head, looked at Carly, and then looked away slightly:

"I'm sorry to have made you worry..."

"It's time to explain everything clearly, right?" Carly said, "Why did you disappear? Where is this place? Why did Zu Chumen want to seize the device? What does the heart he mentioned mean?"

"I'll tell you..." Lian didn't dare to look at Carly, "After listening to it, you'll know that it's necessary to keep it a secret from you..."

......

At the same time, in the interrogation room temporarily converted by the Qilang military, Zu Ligui, who had lost both hands, was tied to a chair with a blank look in his eyes.

Opposite him, the interrogator glanced at him coldly and said:

"Name?"

"Zuligui."

"Position?"

"Mayor of Yuan Town."

“Why do all this?”

"For the sake of humanity, and to punish you who have deviated from the norm."

"Please elaborate on what you mean."

"...I don't need to say more to you. You think you have won, but Zu Chumen will put an end to it all. We have already won..."

After Zu Ligui finished speaking, he said nothing and just looked at the ceiling silently.

At this time, a Qilang soldier pushed open the door and whispered something in the interrogator's ear. The interrogator nodded and turned to Zu Ligui and said:

"Your nephew Zu Chumen is dead. He committed suicide with a sharp knife stabbed in his throat."

Upon hearing the news, Zu Ligui's body trembled and the corners of his mouth twitched.

He took a deep breath and said:

"Oh, you are all monsters."

"Please cooperate, so you can get a fairer trial."

"You are not qualified to judge me!" Zu Ligui suddenly shouted and stood up, but the chains on his body pulled him back to the chair. "You use inhuman powers to whitewash yourselves. You are just like the Red Devil, inhuman monsters! What right do you have to judge me!"

"Isn't it the same for you [Black Tide Cult]?" the interrogator said calmly.

"[Black Tide Cult]? Do you really think we are that kind of thing?"

Zu Ligui slumped in his chair, pondered for a while, and then smiled coldly:

"That's right. You have already become monsters in the fight against monsters. How can you see the truth?"

"You are not the Black Tide Cult, then what are you?"

"[Only I can do this]," Zu Ligui said coldly, "Humanity is supreme. Only by using human power to solve everything that humans face can we be called human."

"Oh?" The interrogator frowned. "Is this why you are colluding with the Academi Federation?"

"you know?"

"Of course we know. Do you think we are fools? The Federation's technology and thoughts have been introduced here. We have known about it for a long time."

"Then you're still delivering resources to us?"

"Without those things, how can Yuanzhen survive?" the interrogator said coldly, "You may think you can represent Yuanzhen, but there are not only you here, but also thousands of innocent people."

"We don't need your pity! You used the core left by Hafurgard to build the so-called Great Wall to survive, while you let the black water turn you into monsters. You are no longer human!"

Zu Ligui yelled, his dark face turned red, his glasses fell off his nose, his eyes widened, and he looked ferocious:

"Far Town is the real Ark! After you play with fire and get burned, we will preserve the fire of real humans!"

He became more and more agitated, stood up, and even began to struggle in his seat.

Seeing that he could not get anything out of him, the interrogator turned around and left Zu Ligui alone.

He struggled frantically, like a wild beast, roaring and howling fiercely.

13) Elegy of Far Town (Part 12) -5k chapter-

After Carly carefully re-illuminated the entire laboratory with blue light, the group sat down at a table and took a breath.

Then, Lian spoke without reservation:

"This is the Shansen family's laboratory... No, it should be a laboratory led by the Shansen family, but it belongs to Qi Lang."

"After realizing the existence of the [Deep Diving Cradle], I conducted experiments on myself in advance and recovered my past memories. I saw a lot, including everything I had experienced in this laboratory."

She glanced at her sister beside her and smiled apologetically:

"...That's too dark. I don't dare to restore your memory, let alone tell you what I did before."

"It has something to do with Aoi's abilities, right?" Carly pointed out sharply, "Did Zu Chumen yell something like 'heart'?"

"That's right, my sister's heart is not her original heart."

Lian looked at Aoi's chest with a complicated look.

She took a deep breath and told the truth:

"My sister's heart once belonged to a [Black Tide Knight] under the command of the [Black Tide Lord]."

When she heard these words, the memories in Perlis' mind were suddenly lit up.

...The location of Yuanzhen was the former "frontline base", where Halle Lali and Edward once fought against a [Black Tide Knight]...

...It seems that the knight's heart finally stayed here and became the material for the experiment...

If the heart is in Aoi's body...Yes! That would explain why Aoi has the unique red mark of the Hafurgard tribe in her body!

The [Black Tide Knights] were once followers of the [Black Tide Lord], and the true identity of the [Black Tide Lord] was Coles Halfgard.

It seems that, with the transplant of the heart, Aoi's body was also covered with that kind of mark...

"But...why?" Aoi covered her chest and frowned.

"Because I almost lost you."

Lian seemed unhappy, and her still young face showed an expression as if she was about to cry, which made Aoi feel heartbroken.

"The Wulan drilling rig erupted... Actually, I don't remember it very clearly. I just remember that my mother sent us away before that incident, saying that she couldn't take care of us..."

"And then I never saw her again... I lost my mother..."

"I remember that you were the one who worked in Wulan City and supported me to go to college... I had excellent grades, and after graduation I entered Qilang's official research institute, and gradually became independent..."

"You have taken care of me for a long time...Sister, you are more important to me than my mother..."

"But...I almost lost you..."

Lian said, giving Aoi a pitiful look, looking very sad.

"That year, I took over a project. Due to the special nature of the project, the research institute was located in a remote town far away from the Great Wall, which is where we are now..."

"You always follow me. After I become financially capable, you don't have to do anything but follow me and protect my safety..."

"But it's dangerous outside the Great Wall. When we were out collecting materials, a herd of sheep attacked us... In order to protect me... you suffered a heart injury and were dying..."

Lian looked very sad, her hands were shaking all the time, as if the scene at that time was happening again.

At this moment, a much bigger hand held her small hand. Lian looked up and found Aoi looking at her with a smile:

"I'll always be with you."

Hearing this, Lian's expression twisted in pain and tears seemed about to burst out.

But she finally restrained herself, just lowered her head and took a deep breath.

After raising her head, she continued:

"I violated the rules and implanted the heart that was the focus of my research into your body. I also used all of my research results to save your life..."

"After that, my sister survived, but she became different... You seemed to get angry more easily, especially when the residents of the distant town were harassing us. You argued with the mayor on the spot several times and drove them all away."

"Moreover, you become like the black water entity, and begin to be able to manipulate some strange powers... such as manipulating high temperatures..."

"After you survived the heart transplant, the entire institute changed its direction and took you as a research subject. This not only accelerated our research progress, but also allowed us to produce a large number of results in one fell swoop."

"However, these achievements were not welcomed by the local residents... An organization called "Only We" approached us... They are human supremacists and oppose the existence of people like my sister. They think that we are preparing bodies for the devil to come to this world..."

"The town mayor, Zu Ligui, is a member of the Only One We Will Be."

"Wait," Carly interrupted Lian's narration, "You mean, the people of Far Town are not the [Black Tide Cult], but the so-called human supremacists?"

"Yes," Lian nodded, "They reject all inhumane means, whether it is the technology from Hafgard or the research on black water. Therefore, we encountered a lot of resistance at that time..."

"This is ridiculous," Carly shook her head. "Why did they use netherworld objects to weave the interlayer? Why did they accept supplies from the Qilang people? They don't reject inhuman methods, they reject dirtying their hands."

Listening to what Carly said, Perlis recalled the Temple of the Extraditioner at the gate of Far Town. Countless warriors like him sacrificed themselves so that civilization could continue.

The [Protector of the Great Wall] had three heads and six arms, and not a single piece of skin on his body had not been modified. He clearly did not look like a human.

But Perlis felt that such beings were far more human-like than those wolves in human skin.

"We did not accept their demands at the time because our research project was very important," Lian said. "It was a confidential project related to the safety of the Great Wall. How could it be stopped for such an absurd reason?"

"And then, they betrayed us."

"That day, the black tide alarm was sounded, and dark monsters poured into Yuan Town and rushed into our research institute."

"The guards had long been bribed by the people of Yuanzhen. They failed to stop the threat for us. So, my colleagues raised their guns and faced the black tide in their white coats..."

"When I rushed to the central laboratory, the defense line behind me was about to be breached, and my sister was in the culture tank undergoing data collection and had no ability to fight..."

"I quickly sent out all the research results through factor energy waves so that the Qilang people could obtain the results we had already achieved. Then, I entered the culture tank and hugged my sister."

"I thought I was going to die, but at that moment, the influx of the black tide seemed to resonate with my sister's heart. My last memory was darkness, and then I couldn't remember anything."

After Lian finished speaking, she took a deep breath. Obviously, saying all this would only open up her wounds again.

She looked timidly at Aoi who was standing beside her, and was stroking her chest, obviously shocked by knowing her own life experience.

"I dare not tell you, because I don't want you to know that I turned my sister into a monster... What I did killed everyone in the institute and almost killed my sister... I am guilty..."

"After knowing that we were going to Yuanzhen, I immediately realized that Zu Chumen would target us... There is a device in the laboratory that can overclock the heart, which is the destroyed diamond-shaped device. Zu Chumen has coveted that thing in Yuanzhen for a long time... And I am the only candidate to obtain that thing..."

"It was not until later that I learned that Zu Chumen was once my mother's colleague. In the drilling eruption incident, his body was annihilated and turned into a wandering soul in the underworld... and possessed the blood-related people in Yuanzhen..."

"That person from Yuanzhen...was named Zu Chumen by the mayor Zu Ligui. The purpose was to increase the synchronization of that person's body with his spirit, so that Zu Chumen would have stronger compatibility when attached to it..."

Lian glanced at the corpse in the corner of the laboratory. Her nephew Zu Chumen was dead. His consciousness belonged to him at the moment of death, but he couldn't even know why he died.

His existence is just an insignificant container, and all the conveniences Zu Ligui gave him were to take advantage of him.

This is his mission and his destiny.

"Anyway... I decided to end this story that I started by myself, so on the day when Zu Chumen sneaked into the RV, I expressed my willingness to cooperate with him... After all, this place has changed a lot, and I don’t know how to enter the laboratory again..."

Lian smiled miserably and told everything, which obviously made her feel relieved.

"I know that after I tell you all this, you will definitely not trust me anymore... I once transformed a dying person into a monster, and in the end I hid the matter for fear that others would know."

As Lian was talking, Aoi suddenly stood up and tapped her head gently:

“Ouch…it hurts…”

"Just tell us about this kind of thing. Who would distrust you because of this?"

Aoi frowned, obviously speechless about her clumsy sister.
