Chapter 240 Liberation

Xu Lingqu walked through the Republic Museum, which Asher Fisher had built with some unknown mood. It was also puzzling why Yude Meilin kept it. Perhaps only these two people could understand what each other was thinking.

The second room was the storage room that Master Dream Forging had mentioned, belonging to the Feller family. It contained many rare treasures, and there was a room specifically for storing those special plants that were now extinct and various materials that had been exhausted.

Xu Lingqu found the one that Master Duanmeng used to remake the main body parts for Luminaire.

The most important purpose of coming to Merlin Manor has been achieved. I wonder to what extent these can restore Luminous's body...

She left with the materials and continued her hunting activities.

-

In Merlin Manor, Merlin's servants were all focused on repairing the system, and no one dared to go in and interrupt the conversation between Master Forging Dreams and Yude Merlin to report the matter.

Everyone was wondering if the people responsible for system maintenance were dead. Why were they so slow?

That group of people really died.

Among the three people guarding the door, Qike glanced at his senior brothers and sisters, and finally couldn't help but said, "I want to leave for a while..."

After entering Merlin Manor, Chick's condition has been a little off, and his senior brothers and sisters have noticed it.

The Merlin servants guarding the door were currently struggling with the system, so they exchanged glances and deliberately stepped forward to block their view, allowing Chick to slip away.

Chick was so familiar with Merlin Manor that even in the dark he could rely on his memory and intuition to head towards where he wanted to go.

What he feared most along the way was running into Merlin's servants. This would remind him of the bad results of his mental strength test. When he was being escorted to see Yod Merlin, he had once broken free from the Merlin servant who was holding him and escaped, but was eventually caught by another Merlin servant at a corner...

There were only the corpses of Merlin's servants on the road, and the smell of blood filled the corridor. Chick moved quickly towards the basement. The tragic scenes along the way did not scare him, but instead gradually stabilized his emotions.

Xu Lingqu kills really fast...

He soon arrived at the basement that he could never forget.

The moment he pushed open the door, a figure stood in the middle of the corridor. Chike's heart was pounding as he watched the figure slowly turn towards him...

It’s Xu Lingqu.

There was a lot of blood on her messenger clothes.

On both sides of this spacious corridor are small transparent rooms, which contain children who have not yet grown up. The corridor is very long and there is no end in sight. The rooms are very small. There are at least hundreds of such rooms.

Those children had no idea what was happening in the corridor. Some were reciting federal laws, while others were doing combat training on their own.

"To survive, we'd better not stop for a moment. If our mental strength isn't up to par, we should at least have a skill, so we can survive like me." Chike met Xu Lingqu's gaze and forced a smile. "They can't see us. The walls here are made of special materials. The Merlin servants who are responsible for watching over us will come to see what we are doing from time to time. If we rest, our nutrient solution will be cut off today."

"Sometimes, as punishment, they'll deliberately torment us by alternating between hot and cold." Chick lowered his eyes. "They do this for fun. If any of us possess the mental strength to do this like Linsou Merlin or Linduo Merlin, we can successfully escape from here. The reward is killing one of Merlin's servants."

All the Merlin servants who were responsible for guarding them on this floor had just died at the hands of Xu Lingqu, and she had completely cleared out the lower three floors.

"Will you... kill them?" Chike asked Xu Lingqu with a trembling voice.

The Merlins here are of different ages, some are still children, a few years old, and some have grown to 14 or 15 years old and can immediately undergo mental awakening and testing.

Among them is "Qike" who wants to break free from the shackles, "Linsuo" who has been completely brainwashed and wants to die for the Merlin family, and "Tansen" who simply wants to survive.

Blood was still dripping from Xu Lingqu's knife, and her gaze turned and fell on Qike.

"You want to save them?"

Chike's heart trembled. He didn't know how to answer this question. It was impossible for him to save all the people here. Their starship could not accommodate so many people.

Moreover, most of them have been completely brainwashed by Yude Meilin. Saving them means adding enemies to their future. Therefore, Chike is sure that Xu Lingqu will not let them go, which is why he has been so panicked.

"I……"

"I won't do anything." Xu Lingqu lowered his head and glanced at the knife in his hand. "But I won't allow any of them to board the starship. As for the others, you can handle it yourself."

She wasn't afraid of these people growing up and seeking revenge on Merlin's behalf. Xu Lingqu was always ready for such childish revenge. However, once she had settled matters with the Merlin family, she would head to the Galaxy Cemetery to uncover the truth. She didn't know when she would return.

It would be bad if Chike brought back someone with bad intentions and caused trouble for Master Dream Forging on the neutral planet and she couldn't get back in time.

"You can let them out. What path they take in the future and what fate they choose is their own business." Xu Lingqu and Qi Ke passed by each other. Since she had decided not to kill the people here, she would not waste time here.

She passed by, bringing up a gust of wind, and Chick suddenly became a little more sober.

The little Chikmeloin who once struggled to survive in this little house only prayed that someone would suddenly appear, open the door of the little house, and rescue him.

Now that Chick has successfully walked out of Merlin Manor and returned, all he has to do when facing these children is open the door.

Give them a chance, instead of inexplicably feeling that you are responsible for their entire future life and destiny...

Chikmellen made up his mind. He walked firmly towards the end of the corridor and found the central control area in his memory.

He punched the energy shield outside the control panel, but found that it couldn't be opened at first. He bent down and took out a part from his mechanical leg and stabbed it into the energy shield.

With blood dripping from his hands, he succeeded. The control panel appeared before his eyes, and Chick trembled as he pressed the button to open all the doors.

With a loud bang, the sound of hundreds of doors opening could be heard, and the voices of the Merlins, some surprised and some curious, could be heard. Only Chick was at the end of the corridor, shedding tears of relief.
