I Borrowed the Great Emperor’s Brain

Chen Luo discovered he could scavenge the minds of the dead.

So he went to a graveyard and scavenge the brain of a deceased Great Emperor, figuring he’d borrow it for a bit.

While other...

Chapter 514 What Does It Have to Do with Me

"You don't have to accompany me. This time, I can go alone." Chen Luo looked at Chen Dahe opposite him, took out a glass of wine from the refrigerator and handed it to him.

Looking at this face, his mind was filled with memories that had been dusty for a long time, and he couldn't help but think of the words his uncle once taught him.

'Only by living can there be a future.'

But this time Chen Luo couldn't do it, because some things were more important than being alive.

He recalled a mission he encountered a long time ago when he first worked as a burial man with his uncle.

That time, he and his uncle took on a mission in a remote area.

The target of the mission is a remote mountainous area. Because no one has buried corpses there for many years, there have been several cases of corpses and injuries, which has caused panic among the people and affected the performance of the master. In order to eliminate the impact, the county magistrate specifically asked the third uncle Chen Dahe to handle the matter.

The process of burying the body was very tortuous, but with the help of the old uncle, the nephew and uncle successfully completed the task.

On the way back, they encountered a group of murderous robbers on the official road. When they passed by, they happened to see the last woman holding a child being caught by the robbers. The robbers threw her child to death in front of the woman, and then raped the woman in front of the child's body, and finally killed her and robbed her.

That night, Uncle San used the drug for burying corpses to poison all the bandits in the village, and took Chen Luo with him to bury the bodies and clean up the mess.

After digging a hole for a whole night, Chen Luo still remembers his uncle's expression and the conversation he had with him.

"Uncle San, you took a risk."

"We don't cause trouble, but we're not afraid of it either. Living is important, but some things are more important than living!"

"More important than life?"

"Yes! You will understand it sooner or later."

That was the first and only time that Uncle San killed someone in Chen Luo's memory. At that time, Chen Luo didn't understand. He just thought Uncle San killed people with great pleasure, and he was like a knight, taking pleasure in revenge. But now when he thinks back, he understands that he and Uncle San are the same kind of people.

"Those people have already infiltrated the upper levels. You are not going up there to take up a new post, but to die. Those people won't even give you a chance to speak!"

"To live is to have tomorrow."

Chen Dahe looked at Chen Luo and said the words that had the greatest impact on Chen Luo.

"But there are always some things that are more important than being alive."

Chen Luo looked at Chen Dahe. At this moment, Chen Dahe in front of him seemed to overlap with another shadow.

After hearing this, Chen Dahe stopped trying to persuade him. For some reason, he saw the shadow of Marshal Li in this young man.

Half a day later.

Chen Luo took the appointment letter and boarded the plane to "Tianwai".

'The mountains are high and the roads are dangerous, I don't know if I will ever be able to return.'

Sitting by the window, Chen Luo looked down and saw a familiar figure in the crowd from the corner of his eye. A woman dragging a suitcase. She seemed to sense his gaze and turned her head back just before the plane took off.

The beauty in the painting looks the same as she did yesterday.

It was Su Linlin, whom I hadn’t seen for many years.

The two were separated by nearly a thousand meters, one in the terminal and the other on the plane. The scene seemed to be frozen at this moment, until the plane took off, and the world resumed its flow.

Su Linlin, who was across the terminal, suddenly smiled.

She waved to Chen Luo on the plane and seemed to say something, but Chen Luo could no longer see clearly.

The news of Chen Luo's appointment was passed to the higher-ups immediately.

There were more people around the dark round table.

"There's only this one left. Once we get rid of him, the rest will be easy to deal with." Someone threw out a photo of Chen Luo.

"I didn't expect this kid would actually dare to take up the post."

"Then send him on his way and let him accompany his dead master."

After a few words, everyone quickly decided on a plan.

Airport.

As soon as the plane approached the city below the space station, Chen Luo felt something was wrong. A black dot appeared in the sky, and it was flying towards the airport at an extremely exaggerated speed.

missile!

Chen Luo's heart tightened, and he immediately recognized the origin of that thing. He didn't expect the other party to be so cruel and directly release missiles in a crowded area like an airport. This was not concealed at all, and he didn't even give him a chance to go up.

Such a large-scale commotion naturally caused panic, and all the passengers on the plane became flustered.

There was even more chaos at the airport on the ground, with countless people scrambling to escape. In just a few moments, several fires broke out, planes and commuter buses collided, and thick smoke filled the air.

Chen Luo grabbed the window next to him, dug his fingers into the iron door, and pulled hard. The door on the left was like a piece of iron, and he pulled it open with brute force. The cold wind rushed in, making the remaining passengers on the plane dazed for a while. There were also maintenance personnel who were talking loudly, but Chen Luo was too lazy to listen. He stepped into the air and got out of the plane.

The strength at the initial stage of Qi Refining does not allow one to fly with a sword, but one can still stay in the air for a short period of time.

After flying out of the cabin, Chen Luo walked to the terminal next to him and took out an old machine. The veins on his five fingers bulged. He pulled hard and all the iron pipes connected to the machine were broken by brute force, and a lot of electric sparks burst out.

Ninth level phantom weapon!

After adding spiritual power, Chen Luo seemed to have transformed into a wild beast. The muscles on his entire right arm bulged, and then he threw it violently.

The violent wind pressure exploded close to the ground, overturning several commuter cars that were relatively close, and even the fire in the distance was blown away, and the circular force exploded. The flying machine was swept by the high speed, and the surface friction formed a circle of semi-arc flames, forming a fire meteor from bottom to top.

As everyone watched, the machine and the missile in the air collided.

boom!!

White light lit up the sky.

Everyone was speechless, and countless people looked at Chen Luo in horror, not understanding what had just happened. The education they had received since childhood was impacted at this moment.

Such an exaggerated scene was also seen by those people in the sky.

At this moment many people fell silent.

Is this still a human being?

"Kill him! Kill him at all costs!" Some people couldn't help but roar. They felt fear and smelled the breath of death, which was something that Marshal Li had never brought to them before.

But before they could make a second move, they saw Chen Luo doing the same thing, grabbing a fallen stone slab and throwing it upwards.

This time, he did not stay where he was, but instead dodged and landed on the stone slab.

The thrown meteor dragged him towards the space station above.

The power of the ninth-level phantom warrior burst out without any concealment at this moment. A circle of translucent ripples appeared around Chen Luo's body, and blood gushed out from his pores, forming a circle of barriers on the surface of his body, resisting the external air pressure.

After the stone reached a certain height, its speed gradually slowed down.

Under the influence of gravity, it began to slowly fall back.

Chen Luo quickly stood up, stepped on the stone slab, and flew upwards at a faster speed. During the process, he reached into his sleeve, grabbed another stone, and threw it forward, forming a second landing point. The stone slab below him exploded and turned into countless small stones falling from the air.

boom!!

After borrowing power several times in succession, Chen Luo finally exceeded his limit and stepped into the space station in the form of a physical body.

He stepped on the ground of this floating city that humans built to resist nightmares, and created a deep pit.

"you"

Councillor Wu, who was standing by the window, showed a horrified expression. He still couldn't believe what he saw with his own eyes. Someone actually flew from the ground to the 'sky' without the help of a flying vehicle.

Bang!

The glass shattered, and Chen Luo, with blood mist all over his body, crashed through the isolation glass of the space barrier. His right fist, mixed with glass fragments, hit the man's forehead accurately.

The brain burst and blood exploded.

This big shot who had been standing above him and looking down at him was no different from an ordinary person in terms of killing him.

"Director Chen, you are doing this."

Another high-ranking figure next to him calmed down and tried to solve the crisis with words. But as soon as he opened his mouth, he felt a black iron plate flying towards him. Then he felt a black screen in front of his eyes, and there was no sound anymore.

With his brain bursting, Chen Luo, grabbing the black iron door panel, was like a god of death, and started killing from the moment he landed.

This is his choice!

"Are you planning a rebellion?"

Fighting his way from the outside to the inside, Chen Luo saw the new Grand Marshal holding a press conference at the innermost part. The bloody Chen Luo was naturally photographed by the media. This image needs no explanation. Everyone will regard him as a cultist who is against humanity and murdered the Grand Marshal.

"Director Chen, there is no future in betraying humanity. You are still young and have a chance."

Facing the camera, the Grand Marshal spoke righteously.

The lights flickered, recording the scene.

Chen Luo, the director of the Night Affairs Bureau who had guarded Rongcheng for nearly 20 years, became a villain at this moment, a traitor who had surrendered to Nightmare and gone mad. The scene was reposted below through these lenses, and countless people saw this scene.

They didn't see what was ahead, nor what was behind.

All we saw was Chen Luo slaughtering human high-level officials in the space station. The blood all over his body was the best evidence.

"I've said it before, killing them directly won't work."

In the dark rental house, Chen Dahe looked at Chen Luo on the camera, his eyes dimmed. On the express bus, Su Linlin stared blankly at the picture on the phone screen, her eyes dimmed.

Traitor!

traitor!

Cultist.

Countless negative thoughts gathered into one point, which was pried by invisible forces and gathered around the space station, transforming into a huge face. This face passed through the barrier set up by the former Marshal Li and appeared in the space station. It looked at Chen Luo with a smug look on its face and asked with a big laugh.

"Is this your choice? Is it worth it for the person you want to protect?"

Bang!

A black figure flashed in front of the black face, and the blood in his body burned to the limit, turning into a blood-red meteor, and crashed into the huge mask head-on. Faintly, a voice echoed in the air.

"What they think is none of my business!" (End of this chapter)
