Chapter 59-59- Everyone Killed Instantly
After hearing Irene's voice, a hint of complexity appeared in the giant wolf's painful eyes. Soon, the light of the magic circuit appeared on its body, and its body began to shrink. It changed from a giant wolf as big as a van to a tall and thin man.
Perhaps as part of his ability, he kept a layer of dark wolf hair on his body, covering most areas so that he was not completely naked.
Yvette stood by and silently looked at the werewolf killer's face. There was no doubt that this was Tennyson Norton, a black-haired young man with deep eye sockets.
But his eyes were a little strange at the moment, sometimes dull, sometimes clear, as if he was fighting for control with his second personality.
"Tennyson, what happened? Why did you become like this?" Irene asked anxiously.
Tennyson opened his mouth, as if about to say something, but the next second, he suddenly covered his throat and struggled hard. After Yvette pulled his hands away, he murmured in a trance, "Kill me... Please... Kill me..."
Irene was stunned. She had finally caught Tennyson, but she never expected that his request would be this. It sounded like... he had no choice.
"You can't control yourself?" Yvette heard the pain and struggle in his words.
"I... I am... No, I can't say..." Tennyson gasped, looking at the ground. After a long while, he whispered, "Kill me... This is the only outcome I can control..."
Yvette frowned slightly, and she probably understood why the giant wolf didn't hide or escape, but wanted to fight her to the death.
Did he want to die from the beginning?
Irene pressed on, "Why? Was it the unicorn-sloughed creature? Did they force you?"
Tennyson did not answer, but looked at the ground silently, but it was obvious that as long as he did not express a negative attitude, it could be regarded as an affirmation.
"Are you afraid to say it, unwilling to say it, or...can't say it?" Yvette asked.
These are the three hints she gave. Not daring to speak means fear, not wanting to speak means hardship, and not being able to speak is another situation. Compared with the previous two, this is more like a forced shackle, but what specific shackles are is unknown.
"I can't say..." Tennyson was silent for a long time, then said softly, "I'm just... a testing tool... I can't say anything..."
It's hard to say, but it seems there are indeed special shackles. No wonder the unicorn creatures dared to let him wander around in the outside world and kill people everywhere... Testing tools, this is the biggest hint...
Yvette understood, but she had no intention of actually taking action. She planned to send Tennyson to AJSP, firstly to earn the 1 million yuan bounty, and secondly, in this situation, perhaps it would actually protect him.
After all, Erin's "Bird News," a Black Tower-affiliated media outlet, was inherently at odds with the unicorn-sloughed creatures. The werewolf killer was a headline news story, generating no shortage of traffic. Even if Tennyson had to spend the rest of his life in prison, it would be better than continuing to be controlled by the unicorn-sloughed creatures and becoming a brutal serial killer.
But just as she made this decision, the next moment, a sound of footsteps came from afar.
She looked up and saw more figures appearing on the road ahead and behind. Each figure was radiating the light of a magical circuit. Their expressions were dull and indifferent, as if they were all like Tennyson.
Irene covered her mouth in horror. She obviously understood the meaning of the glowing patterns on these people, but the key point was that there were more than a dozen enemies!
If so many people were like Tennyson, how could Miss Wuming protect her even if she was strong?
"Haha..." Then, accompanied by a round of applause, the werewolf killers made way for a middle-aged man in a white coat. He looked at the three people in front of him and said, "It's incredible. A young, fledgling mercenary can actually defeat a 'Beast Warrior' like this. Miss Wuming, who are you?"
Yvette looked at the middle-aged man in front of her expressionlessly. She immediately searched online and found his information. She said, "Hewlett Sean, bioengineering consultant for Lin Tui Biology, professor of rune biology at Agashe University?"
"That's right." The middle-aged man nodded without hesitation, pushed his glasses, and revealed his thick arms covered with rune marks.
"Are you researching... the ability to transform humans into beasts? Is Tennyson Norton your experimental subject?" Yvette asked.
"It's obvious, but Miss Noname, or rather, Miss Yvette Sheehan... since you ask me that, I have to answer. Am I being at a disadvantage?" Hewlett said with a smile.
Yvette frowned slightly, then heard the other party continue, "Why don't you answer a question for me and I'll answer one for you, and we'll exchange equal amounts."
"What do you want to ask?"
"Well, my first question is...are you Zero?"
Deathly silence filled the air. Looking at Hewlett's strange eyes, Yvette's first reaction was a little puzzled.
She asked, "What is Zero?"
"You're not size zero?" Hewlett was a little surprised by the genuine confusion in Yvette's eyes. He asked, "How old are you?"
“That’s the second question.”
"Okay, okay... go ahead and ask your questions."
"Answer my question just now. Are you researching the ability of humans to transform into beasts?"
"Unfortunately, the answer to this question is no. The abilities of the beast warriors are not within my research scope. I'm just doing the test together." Hewlett smiled slightly.
Yvette speculated on the truth of these words and said lightly: "My age is, 16 years old."
After answering, she continued to ask: "What experiment did you perform on Tennyson Norton?"
"This is a technology still under testing. I'd probably call it 'Soul Protocol.' It allows us to input specific commands into living organisms, much like the underlying protocols we input into our minds, effectively restraining those otherwise unruly biological weapons. You can imagine the applications of this technology, such as breeding powerful war beasts. By imitating the 'Three Laws of Mechanical Golems' and implanting the same content into the beasts, they would always prioritize humans and obey orders like golems... What a perfect technology! Just thinking about it is exciting, isn't it?"
It can be seen that Hewlett is very passionate about the career he is studying, and he said a lot in one breath.
“Like hypnosis or cognitive modification?” Yvette asked.
"No, no, no, there's a huge difference. The power of the Soul Protocol lies in its ability to influence memories and the physical body using the spirit as an anchor. For example, using this technology, even if I don't modify the subject's cognition, I can still lock their ability to 'beast'. And to turn it on and off, I only need to set a 'safe word'."
Hewlett then lamented, "Of course, as a technology still under investigation, it still has many problems and is unlikely to move beyond the laboratory. It may take another century for it to be truly applied on a large scale."
Using spirits as anchors? Yvette's mind stirred, and she suddenly asked, "You're colluding with the Holy Spirit Sect?"
Her words were just a test, but unexpectedly, a strange smile appeared on Hewlett's face.
He said, "Miss Wuming, your insight really scares me. You realized so quickly that this is a technology based on soul runes."
Then, without directly addressing the topic of the Holy Spirit Sect, he said, "Okay, it's my turn to ask a question. Ms. Wuming, according to our investigation, you and a little blonde girl appeared and disappeared on the island of Ish, evacuating for four years. Where were you during this time?"
"I've been hiding for a while." Yvette naturally wouldn't tell the truth. After a perfunctory reply, she continued to ask, "What is this Zero you're talking about?"
"Hehehe... Zero and One, aren't they you and your golden-haired companion?"
Hewlett said something that left Yvette baffled, then smiled what he considered a friendly smile and said, "Ms. Noname, I hope you can actively cooperate with me. The company has good intentions for both you and Number One. We can provide whatever you want. Just ask... Why not cooperate for mutual benefit?"
"You've got the wrong person. I don't know what Zero and One are, nor do I know what cooperation you're talking about. I'm still waiting for you to explain it to me." Yvette said expressionlessly.
"You...really not?" Hewlett hesitated and muttered to himself, "Even though the age doesn't match, who else could it be but you..."
Then his face turned cold, and he said, "Whether it's true or not, the result is the same. Miss Wuming, the company is sincere towards you, and I am also sincere, which is why I am willing to tell you so much. If you refuse to cooperate with non-violence, then I can only use some tricks."
…
As soon as these words were spoken, a chill immediately swept through the room.
Miss Irene's heart was lifted as she looked around nervously, thinking that if a conflict broke out, wouldn't she and Tennyson be dead for sure?
Miss Wuming is suspected to have a mysterious identity and possesses powerful strength, so she will definitely be fine, but what should she do? What about Tennyson? Will they really not be killed by the unicorn-shaped creatures?
Then Irene heard Yvette say, "We can discuss it. You let them both go first. Once Miss Irene and Tennyson Norton are far away, I will talk to you about this."
"Miss Wuming..." Irene couldn't help but exclaim, feeling deeply moved.
Obviously, in her opinion, with Miss Wuming's strength, she would definitely have a chance to escape as long as she wanted to run, but she actually chose to take care of her employer first!
How kind is this?
What kind of contract spirit is this? !
Of course, she also knew that she was a burden, so she didn't waste any more words and pulled Tennyson step by step towards the end of the dim road. At the same time, she did not forget to secretly call the police and ask AJSP to come quickly to stop the evil big company from kidnapping people on the street.
…
Miss Irene walked a little slowly, but fortunately, Tennyson still had some strength left. After turning into a giant wolf, he carried her away and disappeared at the end of the dark highway.
Hewlett didn't show any particular expression when he saw this. He didn't care whether Erin called the police or not, because he had already taken some measures before coming to ensure that the AJSP would arrive very slowly.
He said, "The irrelevant people have left, so next, Miss Wuming, shouldn't we leave too?"
"Really?" Yvette said expressionlessly, "What if I refuse?"
"That's going to be a little troublesome." Hewlett sneered, "But I still hope you won't continue to wear down my patience. Although I will guarantee your safety, this won't prevent the process from being a bit rough..."
He stopped talking here, because he suddenly found that the white part of the eye sockets of the nameless lady opposite him had turned dark without him knowing when.
Against the pitch-black backdrop, the two dark red pupils seemed to glow a striking red light, like a demon that had suddenly awakened, emitting a heart-pounding evil.
"You..." Hewlett's heart beat violently, and he suddenly felt a chill in his heart, as if some kind of danger perception system had been triggered.
But soon, he felt something was wrong. As a senior advisor to the Lin Tui creatures, he was also a powerful mage with many hidden equipment and a lot of trump cards. Why was he so nervous?
However, before he could continue to threaten, he saw in the next second that the silver-haired girl's beautiful long silver hair, which reflected a colorful halo, suddenly twisted and danced wildly like a group of snakes!
Then these hairs suddenly stretched longer, and in the blink of an eye, they pierced the heads of every beast warrior around, leaving a small hole on their foreheads that oozed blood, and they collapsed limply.
Hewlett's pupils suddenly contracted violently.
Flash sale?
Everyone killed instantly?!
At this moment, the ability displayed by this girl was completely different from the means she had used to violently defeat the werewolf killer just now, and it was completely beyond the boundaries of Hewlett's imagination!
“You…you…how could you…”
Looking at the beast warriors falling like straw, Hewlett felt a chill running down his spine.
Obviously, among all the mages in the world, he is in the first tier, among the strongest 5%.
But at this moment, facing the silver hair with strange piercing ability, he actually felt a fear that he had not felt in many years, so much so that the prosthetic body under his clothes could not give him a sense of security.
When the silver-haired girl with black eyes and red pupils approached with the aura of an evil god, Hewlett trembled and stepped back, saying excitedly: "This is not a human method. You... You really are Zero! You still say you are not!!"
Then he turned around and wanted to take off. The colonial prosthesis spread out from under his clothes, like Iron Man's nano armor, gradually condensing into a dark blue battle suit.
But the silver hair quickly wrapped around him, as if the devil had stretched out his hand.
They tied the leg armor of the battle suit and dragged it down. Hewlett, who had transformed into a blue colonial warrior, fell to the ground like a kite with a broken string. Then, while trying to crawl forward, he was still dragged in front of the girl by the silver hair.
"Let me go! You witch!!" Seeing that beautiful yet terrifying face getting closer and closer, Hewlett screamed like a helpless girl about to be dragged into an alley by a mob.
He immediately released several rune rings, each with a pulse of crimson energy, blasting towards the silver-haired girl.
This is a military-grade spell with a specification of 100,000. Its destructive power is enough to threaten military vehicles, but it was intercepted one by one by the silver-white hair without exception, and burst into ripples of violent explosions.
This incredible scene made Hewlett tremble with fear, as if he was in a nightmare.
