Chapter 130 Success Rate 65%, Weeping Girl

"Um..." Lou Yan was a little hesitant, "Can you please not report me to the authorities first?"

"Oh? Why?" Yu Cang asked doubtfully, "Do you have anything else that you are not willing to show to others?"

"That's not the case...it's just that." Lou Yan sighed, "The current Grand Court is equivalent to the National Master's one-man show. No one can stop him from doing whatever he wants. I escaped secretly, and now the National Master is still thinking of secretly capturing me back. But if I am discovered by the Yan State officials, the National Master will definitely use diplomatic channels to have you repatriate me directly...Big brother took a lot of effort to get me out, how can I go back like this..."

"Don't worry." Yu Cang smiled. "If it were before, the process would definitely be like this, but it's different now. Well, you can understand that the Desolate Sect has done a lot of bad things in Yan Country, and now we're on high alert against them. From now on, it seems very likely that the Desolate Sect is behind the National Master you mentioned, so the priority of this matter will also be increased."

"Is that so..." Lou Yan breathed a sigh of relief.

"What's more, if I don't hand you over to the authorities, I won't be able to confirm whether your identity is real or fake." Yu Cang stood up and patted Lou Yan on the shoulder. "Well, now that you're here, you don't need to worry about what happens next."

Yu Cang planned to take Lou Yan directly to Ren Zheng and let the old man decide which department to send this guy to.

In terms of national strength, Yan State was the world's number one, but the Hunters, with the natural defenses of the Longevity Tent, would not be vulnerable to Yan State. Therefore, even if they had discovered traces of the Desolate Sect there, they would not directly investigate.

After all, everything Lou Yan said was just hearsay, plus his own conjecture, there was no conclusive evidence at all.

Next, I'm afraid the main strategy will still be to pull the trigger, and the Yan Kingdom needs to slowly test the hunters' situation. At least in the short term, there will definitely be no progress.

Looking at the somewhat nervous Lou Yan, Yu Cang thought for a moment.

Well... next, let Lou Yan stay with Captain Wan. It just so happens that Captain Wan doesn't need to participate in any projects and he is very strong. If Lou Yan has any bad intentions, he can stop him immediately.

Yu Cang stood up and was about to leave when his personal terminal suddenly vibrated, followed by a series of vibrations, as if someone had sent him countless messages in a short period of time.

Yu Cang took it out and looked at it with some confusion.

It’s Lin Yunqing.

At this moment, the chat interface between the two of them was already filled with various documents. Yu Cang flipped through it briefly, and his face suddenly became a little stiff.

What is this...

"Yan Country Criminal Law"? "Ten Cases of Major Kidnapping and Trafficking in Yan Country"? "The Perfect Crime"? "The Principle of Montage"? ...

And this, what the hell is this, “List of Lawyers Recommended by Grandpa Guan Qingrui”!

What on earth are you imagining!

A bunch of files were sent over, and Lin Yunqing sent a cheering emoticon in the chat interface and said:

-

These may be useful, I will collect some more if necessary.

Yu Cang sighed.

Let me explain quickly...

…

In the afternoon, I went to the treatment center as usual, but the implant was still unsuccessful.

The next day was the Fire Festival.

Although Yujiang will be very lively today, there will also be a bit too many people. Yu Cang thought about it and decided not to go out on the streets to suffer.

I watched the soldiers training for a while in the morning, and then took a small path to the treatment center in the afternoon.

"Hmm?" Yu Cang raised his brows as soon as he came in.

The success rate of implanting legendary entries this time is very high.

A full 65%!

Did something happen?

Yu Cang suddenly had a premonition that he might succeed today!

Although the success rate was very high, the implant cooling had not yet been completed. Yu Cang had to temporarily suppress his expectations and brought Qi'er to Dr. Ji's laboratory first.

…

And at this time.

In a place where Cang can't see.

In a room in the treatment center.

Two researchers in white coats were standing in front of the operating table. One of them had white hair, and the other was slightly younger. They seemed to have the same relationship as Dr. Ji and Cheng Mingye.

In the room in front of them, a huge soul card was floating in the center. The card surface was in chaos and the specific color could not be distinguished. All they could see was that the pattern on the card seemed to be a young girl. But the strange thing was that the pattern on the card was not static. Layers of ripples were spreading on it. The girl clasped her hands in front of her chest, closed her eyes and lowered her head, as if praying.

Her eyelashes trembled occasionally and her brows were slightly wrinkled, as if she was not feeling well.

"well."

The white-haired researcher sighed, placed the clipboard on the table, and took off his glasses.

"It still doesn't work... Archie, prepare to destroy the program..."

Aqi's brows tightened slightly. He looked at the girl with closed eyes in the soul card, and a look of pity flashed in his eyes.

"Teacher, is there really no other way?... How about I think about it again? There must be a way out."

"Aqi! Look at your current state, you've been affected!" The instructor's tone became stern. "The Weeping Girl's ability can affect other people's emotions. You should know that all the emotions in your heart right now are false!"

"I..." Archie pursed his lips and said, "Teacher, you always say this is a false emotion, but what if the person in the room wasn't the Weeping Girl, but another life? Teacher, you're wrong. My current reluctance comes completely from the bottom of my heart. I simply don't want to see a life pass away!"

Hearing this, the instructor's brow furrowed. He looked at Ah Qi and said sternly, "The Weeping Girl isn't a living being... The 'personality' it displays is merely the wrath of the wronged souls at its birth. Even its emotions... are merely borrowed from others. At best, I can describe it as lifelike."

"Even so, she already possesses a personality and emotions. Why can't she be called a living being?" Archie said excitedly. "Instructor, you were present during the previous test. The Weeping Girl doesn't have any 'pseudo-personality disorder' at all. How can you deny her all possibilities just because of a line in the textbook: 'Banned cards will not give rise to intelligence and life'?"

The so-called "pseudo-personality disorder" is a common defect among banned cards.

Due to the special production method of banned cards, many banned cards will produce something similar to wisdom and personality when they are born. Such banned cards can even communicate normally with people, but unfortunately, that is still not a true personality.

It's more like a program, but it's much more complicated than that.

Advanced card banners will make their works more like real life, but they will inevitably reveal flaws in some places. For example, some combat banned cards will sacrifice a large number of lives when they are drawn, which will deeply engrave the concept of "killing" in the consciousness of the banned card. Then, when no one is controlling the banned card, it will immediately try to kill the life it sees, even if the "personality" of the banned card itself knows that this is wrong, it will still make corresponding actions.

There was a case like this in the files of the Reception Bureau. It was a soul card that went out of control. From the outside, it was just an ordinary little boy. When communicating with others, it was also like an ordinary child. But after losing control...

The child cried out "I don't want to hurt you" while clearing out all life nearby.

It's like a program: once the triggering conditions are met, it will go all the way to the end, with no other options. This also makes the banned card's personality devoid of any creativity, and thus cannot be defined as life.

This phenomenon is called pseudo-personality disorder.

"Alright, Archie." The instructor sighed softly. "When I was young, I had similar thoughts to yours. But I want to tell you that in the Intake Bureau, anyone who has always held on to such thoughts has died. You are a researcher. Do not develop any feelings for your research subjects. This is an iron rule."

Archie clenched his fists and opened his mouth, but no words came out.

He turned his head and looked at the soul card in the room. A trace of pity flashed in his eyes, but after a moment of silence, he sighed.

Seeing this, the instructor continued, "Furthermore, the suppression of the Weeping Maiden has indeed reached its limit. If we don't destroy her, I don't need to tell you what will happen, right?"

"……I know."

The Weeping Girl is a banned card of legendary level, brought into Yan Country by a banned card master from abroad.

The Weeping Lady has many abilities, one of which is that she can constantly absorb the emotions around her and hide them when she is not stimulated. When she is stimulated, the Weeping Lady will cry briefly and then immediately self-destruct, releasing all the collected emotions in an instant.

This ability was extremely terrifying. The Reception Bureau later estimated that if it really exploded, the emotions accumulated in the soul card would be enough to fill the brains of all intelligent creatures within a radius of several kilometers, causing them to die painfully from drastic emotional changes.

Fortunately, the superintendent discovered the card banner quickly and in time, and shot him dead before he could finally complete the card ban.

But unfortunately, the card banner activated the Weeping Girl's ability before he died... Although the police used some means to seal this soul card and brought it back to the treatment station, no matter what method they used, they could not reverse the Weeping Girl's self-explosion and could only suppress it.

Now, the time has come to stop holding back.

Because the card banner who created the Weeping Maiden is quite skilled, for research purposes, they have thought of many ways to stabilize the Weeping Maiden's state. However, at the moment, it seems that the only way out is to destroy her.

"You don't have to make that expression. If the Weeping Girl had been allowed to self-destruct, her consciousness and emotions would have been lost. For her, the outcome would have remained the same."

"...I understand." Archie calmed down. "Then...should I tell the Weeping Girl about this decision later?"

"No need." The instructor shook his head, "Just prepare to destroy it."

“…”

…

“…Am I going to die…?”

A hazy consciousness opened his eyes.

She raised her head and looked through the huge glass window in front of her at the two figures.

After coming here, most of her abilities were restricted, but her basic perception was still retained.

Just like now, although the room was well soundproofed and she couldn't hear the conversation between the two people outside, she still got the answer from their fluctuating emotions.

Expected answer.

Yes...it's time to end. I was born in sin. I am lucky to be alive until now.

She couldn't help but think back to the first time she perceived the world.

An unfamiliar emotion rushed into her consciousness, and as soon as she opened her eyes, she saw a woman lying in a pool of blood.

The woman stroked her face with her blood-stained hand and said to her with a smile, "You look... like me..."

At that time, she had no memory, no emotions, and no personality. She could only stare blankly at the woman in front of her, unable to react.

As the woman carefully stroked her cheek, countless unfamiliar emotions flooded into her consciousness. She did not understand the meaning of these emotions at that time, but she shed a line of tears.

Some words flowed into her mind along with these emotions. She opened her mouth, eager to speak and use these words to ask who she was, but at this time, a voice interrupted them.

"Sister, go with peace of mind. I will avenge you."

She turned her head and saw a man in a black robe standing behind her.

She couldn't sense any emotions from this man, but some mysterious connection told her that he was the master who created her.

"No, brother," the woman in the pool of blood murmured, "Let's end this hatred in our generation. Don't let it continue, okay?"

The man squatted down and gently stroked the woman's head, with a gentle smile on his face.

But he didn't say anything.

It wasn't until the woman lost her life in his arms that he restrained all his expressions. After a long silence, he said, "Sister, I will avenge you."

He picked up the woman and turned to leave. At this moment, she, who had been silent for a long time, finally couldn't help but said, "But... she clearly didn't want you to avenge her..."

The man stopped.

He turned his head, frowning slightly. After an unknown amount of time, he said, "From now on, your name is Weeping Girl. All you have to do is follow what I say. Remember, don't try to suggest anything to me."

Then, the man thought about it, and the weeping girl turned into a soul card and put it into the man's waist.

From then on, the weeping girl remembered the man's words and never spoke again.

During this period, the man took her to many places and killed many people. He asked the weeping girl to collect the emotions of these people before their death, and the weeping girl did so one by one.

Until this day, the man brought her to a new country, and he spoke to the weeping girl for the first time.

He said that if they could just kill the little devil hiding in this country, then the hatred would finally end in this generation.

The weeping girl did not answer.

Countless injections of unfamiliar emotions had already exhausted her. These emotions had tried countless times to influence her character, but the smile of the woman who looked exactly like her at the beginning would always flash through her heart, saving her from sinking.

This time, the man failed.

The Weeping Girl was then brought here.
