Rumble!

Flames exploded on Baker's body, and the surrounding trees turned to ashes in an instant, burning deeper into the fire.

Lilith retreated swiftly, her voice as clear as a silver bell.

"I know you're angry, but it's the truth. You and Aina are nothing more than experimental subjects."

"I forbid you to talk about her."

Boom!

Lilith's expression changed, and the threads rapidly wrapped around her body. At the same time, a spark appeared in front of her and exploded.

Bang bang bang…

It's unclear how many trees she crashed into before Lilith finally came to a stop.

The silk thread dissipated with the firelight, revealing large expanses of fair skin.

You weren't burned?

A hint of doubt flashed across Beck's face, but he ignored it.

Do you know the consequences of lying to me?

Lilith squinted, feeling immense pressure from Beck, and glanced at him with a hint of envy.

I wish I were this experimental subject.

However, she now understands the situation clearly, and the silk threads are used to outline clothing that clings to her body.

"Whether what I said is true or not, you can just send someone to ask a bunch of people on Evil Street," Lilith said quietly.

Baker remained silent. Although he could be impulsive and stubborn at times, he wasn't stupid.

Zhu Mo's words had made him feel something was off, as if a hand was controlling him.

His subsequent behavior, which resembled that of a mentally challenged villain, further fueled his suspicions.

But, consumed by his thirst for revenge, he didn't want to hear what Malendo had to say.

It now seems that things were already wrong at the Moyu House.

Even if Mike's identity is trustworthy, he should still inspect the goods before continuing the discussion.

Irving, however, seemed to have no doubt about Mike's identity at all, as if the person who introduced Mike was absolutely trustworthy.

Who is that person?

Only Green!

According to Noah, Mike's identity was fabricated by an insider, and the other party was highly trustworthy.

The problem lies in the information gap.

"So, have you figured it out?"

Lilith wasn't in a hurry; she played with her hair and gave him a flirtatious wink.

Baker ignored the look and realized that the problem lay within the resistance, or rather, on the inside.

Double agent?

Baker clenched his fists tightly. No matter who this double agent was, he was the culprit who killed Aina!

Even Noah's trusted inside man!

What should I do?

Lilith's lips curved into a slight smile; it seemed to be going smoothly.

"It's very simple, you are actually more important than you think."

Baker frowned: "What do you mean?"

"Although it sounds strange, your current power is the result of the great efforts of the person behind the scenes. You are the only successful case, and I don't need to elaborate on your preciousness, right?"

Baker clenched his fists and looked at Aina beside him.

He had already acknowledged this in his heart, but he was very reluctant to accept it.

Because this means that his meeting with Aina was preordained, and Aina's death was inevitable.

It was as if nothing he did could change that.

Taking a deep breath, Baker said, "Go on."

Lilith nodded: "I didn't misjudge you. As the only successful case, no one wants you to have an accident."

"At the same time, nobody wants your case to fail."

Baker frowned: "You want me to pretend?"

"That's right, whether it's pretending to be injured or pretending to have imperfect abilities, it's fine."

Lilith explained, "Only in this way will they continue to work on you, and only then will you have the opportunity to uncover the mastermind behind it all."

"I see."

Beck's gaze turned cold: "And what about you? What is your purpose?"

“It’s simple,” Lilith said bluntly. “I need your help to kill Grimm!”

"Green, huh..."

Baker had no doubt about this, after all, there were just too many people who wanted to kill Green.

The two exchanged contact information, and Baker left with Aina.

Watching him leave, Lilith murmured to herself, "Green, I will destroy everything you value."

She paused, licking her lips, and said, "I wonder what the Great Master Qin's reaction will be when he finds out that his little guinea pig dared to play tricks on him."

......

Baker found a secluded spot nestled against the mountains and beside the water, dug a deep pit with his bare hands, and buried Aina there.

Kneeling before the stone tablet, Baker murmured to himself, "Sister Aina, don't worry, none of the people who harmed you will escape."

After a long while, Baker got up and left, found the buried spatial bracelet and cell phone, and headed to the resistance base.

"Feel sorry."

Noah sighed: "It seems Green's men spotted us; we were intercepted beforehand."

However, after glancing at Beck, especially Noah, they could feel the faint heat emanating from him, and asked solemnly, "What happened?"

Beck stared intently at Noah, who seemed genuinely unaware of the situation.

"We've been tricked."

"Fooled?" Noah was taken aback.

Baker also directly recounted his experience, especially the issue of Mike's identity.

This made Noah's expression gradually become serious.

Are you sure?

But he still clung to a sliver of hope: "Perhaps it's just a coincidence?"

"coincide?"

Beck looked at Noah in disbelief, then seemed to realize something.

Who exactly is this person that even Noah, a Venerable One and the leader of the resistance, doesn't want to be his enemy?

Noah, unaware of how much Beck had been thinking, carefully reviewed his situation and offered another guess.

"Our inside man has a special identity; strictly speaking, none of them are from Dream City."

"What happened to you was most likely orchestrated by him, but that doesn't mean he's on Green's side."

Noah sighed: "After all, if you really are the only successful case, he might really keep experimenting on you."

"Is it necessary to cooperate with someone like that?" Baker couldn't help but ask.

Silence fell.

Beck was also stunned, not expecting Noah to fall silent.

"Never mind, you'll find out sooner or later."

Noah sighed and said, "Although this is an internal conflict within our Dream City, Green is willing to fight to the death and has brought in a powerful figure."

"His arrival completely turned the tide, whether we had the advantage or Green's side did."

"The final outcome depends on which side he stands on."

"The only good news right now is that his position is not clear, and he doesn't seem to care about our dispute."

Beck couldn't help but ask, "Green is the city lord, and you are a venerable one. Who else can control you?"

"some."

Noah slowly glanced at the living weaponry beside him, as well as the fusion pills that Beck had just brought back.

Seeing his gaze, Baker seemed to realize something as well.

But that doesn't make sense. Isn't he just a researcher?

"The person who gave you this power is none other than yourself."

"He is Qin Sheng, the leader of the Creation Cult."
