Chapter 156 Rich in Individuality

In the video, He Yu showed no sign of displeasure. He simply knelt down, took off the incredibly expensive suit jacket, and placed it on Pandora. He performed these actions with remarkable naturalness, completely different from the impression he had given them before. It was as if he had always been a noble person skilled at comforting the weak.

The girl who escaped from the laboratory immediately relaxed when she was next to the other person, as if just standing there, she could be a child again without having to think or worry about anything.

Then, Pandora pointed to the group of people behind her and began to complain loudly, emphasizing it several times. She started to recount her experiences endlessly.

Jerusalem—that absurd and desperate city—was the focus of her memory, but she also remembered that many people died, just like that, on the altar, though she didn't know why they died.

Lilith and Beelzebub had also disappeared. When she woke up, she found herself surrounded by many people, so she dared not speak or cry. She had no idea what to do and could only follow them.

She only had a gun with her—a gift from Andrew Lie, intended as a means of survival. But she gave it to a researcher and escaped, hiding it in a junkyard, believing that only there could she remain undiscovered.

It was dirty, but she could stand it.

Pandora lifted her skirt slightly to show He Yu her legs, which were covered with needle marks and scars, and had many other wounds on both sides, some of which had already begun to fester.

In short, her escape was nothing short of an upper-class adventure story. Perhaps from a certain perspective, this child was anything but dull; she was a classic example of someone who had narrowly escaped death.

As Pandora spoke, the group still wore expressions of deep emotion and sympathy.

But they all knew it was all an act—the poor thing had been protected in Merlink's frame, but the higher-ups always found a way, and they did.

What could you do but watch as your chips were taken away, locked in a lab and tortured, and your brainwashing altered your memories? When you woke up, you found yourself in dire straits, and no one came out to explain. All they told you was, "You have been reborn. You survived."

Lu Jin subtly moved closer and patted He Yu on the shoulder, wanting to say something but unsure how to begin. There were too many disgusting things these days to recount, so he simply patted the man's shoulder.

The other person glanced at him, and then he smiled. Just as friendly and gentle as when he was with Miss An, he sat quietly on the ground—so that everyone could better appreciate this grand reunion.

“I don’t care. If they want to play, I’m willing to play.”

He knew the kid had nowhere else to go; everyone was homeless. He was just thinking that if it were 659, that bastard would have already started cursing and preparing how to slaughter all these idiots. The corpses would be piled up even higher, and that scene would definitely be absolutely beautiful.

But it's not the right time yet.

He reintroduced Pandora to Lu Jin, who carefully shook the drunkard's hand. The three of them looked incredibly warm and loving; someone was already crying.

These three blessed individuals then presented themselves for about five minutes. Miss An, having had her fill, suggested that they first treat Pandora's wounds—the ones left from when she received the suppressant. The brat had even killed several researchers; it was already quite a favor that she hadn't been sent to those powerful figures to play with. Then, the group headed to the passage to prepare for the promotion banquet.

As for the other onlookers, they would follow, but they only planned to let the main character in first—they fell silent as soon as the person left the crowd—only Pandora, as if she had never seen the world before, looked out of the glass case in shock, as if she were in heaven.

After a while, Lu Jin said dryly, "Sorry, I don't know either."

He Yu took out a few candies from his pocket, handed them to the girl, and said to him, "I understand, it's okay."

After he finished speaking, he nervously repeated, "Everything will be alright."

Lu Jin nodded. For him, understanding these words was simple, so he didn't say anything more. He just quickly told him about what happened after he was promoted to B05.

“Mr. He, I think you need to know now that the members working within Eoubs, your families… Yes, it may sound unethical, but it’s the truth, there’s a high chance they’re involved,” Miss An interjected. “They will always find a way to involve people like Pandora, brainwash them, and alter their memories and perceptions in order to better control you.”

The central figure in the conversation was currently unwrapping a candy wrapper while continuing to talk to him about the rituals, the play, and the mutated creatures. She said that the people in the castle had all said that He Yu would definitely die at Lilith's hands, but she was absolutely certain that he would survive, and now it seemed that she was right.

He Yu simply stroked her hair, nodded, and smiled. It wasn't until they arrived at the main venue in Zone A021 that he unlocked his terminal and accessed the mobilization forum—Sheen had left a few more messages, but he would have to read them slowly.

Countless people patted them on the shoulder and raised their glasses in greeting.

He deliberately walked behind Lu Jin, seemingly pleased that he wasn't attracting much attention.

He Yu first watched the last scene of the Los Angeles battle video. The footage was edited like a science fiction blockbuster, which was enough to get people excited, but the scene looked a bit tragic.

He watched with great interest as Joseph killed the entire council's top brass and strode toward him menacingly, as if nothing could stop him.
