"Nonsense..."
"That's true, you just can't understand it right now."
"The true 659 exists in all things, and is not in its current ugly state."
"Irritable, chaotic, and even possessing human emotions, frivolous like a piece of trash."
"Mr. He Yu, if everything were to go back to the beginning, back to when you first saw that job advertisement, would you still choose to continue?"
The solid earth is crumbling and breaking apart.
Outside, all security personnel and cleaners were evacuating, regardless of the abnormal situation. Blood, flesh, clothing, and weapons were scattered all over the ground. All the survivors of the Dolphin Hotel rushed forward, and the blood-red alarm lights lit up again and again, appearing very frail amidst the gunfire and explosions.
Some people were screaming, while others stared blankly before frantically hugging each other, as if something was wrong with their minds, but they had indeed joined in.
“Answer my question, He Yu, the operative.”
832 spoke expressionlessly. He was already used to 659's hysteria. He had to admit, it was really wonderful. The pleasure of being strangled by various characteristics was amazing. However, something was still missing, or rather... something was being deliberately hidden.
He Yu carefully pondered those words. He had initially thought that his appearance in this place was just a coincidence, but now, upon reflection, things had become quite interesting.
I just don't understand what kind of extraordinary ability this person has, to be able to foresee the future so far ahead of me? Or is it some kind of divination characteristic, like magic or special abilities?
He subconsciously manipulated the threads and adjusted the elementalization to its maximum. Within the pool of shadow beneath his feet, the monsters that had once been humanoid had been waiting for a long time, letting out low, hoarse roars, wanting to crawl out and devour everything.
Just then, he heard the man speak.
"Haven't thought about it? Or don't know how to say it? Please, you'd better answer quickly, otherwise you'll miss it and it'll be a pity to die again."
The line was activated instantly, choking 832.
Since absorbing 346 of the characteristics, the characteristics within He Yu's body have been sublimated. Just like the line at this moment—it is no longer what it used to be. Each one, as thin as a hair, can easily cut through any known metal material, and the consumption of internal organs has been greatly reduced, enough to destroy anything in front of him in an instant.
"I can't believe things have come to this." 832 remained expressionless, showing no sign of pressure, and continued, "You can't hear my thoughts at all, can you?"
"So I need an explanation."
He Yu was not intimidated. If it weren't necessary, he certainly wouldn't kill this strange man directly. He had already reviewed the videos in Eoubs' interrogation room and learned many interesting methods. He just wanted to know—what was the origin of this taboo being who was similar to himself and had independent thinking?
"Everything you do is preordained."
"Just like your attempt to kill me, the number of times it was done was already chosen to be just right."
"And this is the 'rule of destiny'..."
"Your lover, family, relatives, and everything in this world are like this. Everyone is trapped in the cycle of 'fate' and cannot escape."
"This is the most terrifying nightmare for you."
"You are fearless now, without any fear of fear, but... that may not be the case in the future."
"After all, you are just a human being, and humans are destined to be defeated when faced with unknown supernatural things."
“You will get your comeuppance, Agent He Yu.”
"Because you have become one with 659, you must repay together all the debts it owes."
Behind them, the outside world was still in chaos, the entire Dolphin Hotel seemed to be burning and boiling in the explosion.
832 sat there. The room was actually quite empty, and the light wasn't very bright. The outside light had to struggle to penetrate the layers of obstructing stone walls to illuminate the little place, which appeared pure yet very fragile amidst the bloody atmosphere.
“Okay, that passage really piqued my curiosity, so I'll give you 30 seconds to answer why you know my name, are familiar with 659's past, and…”
As he spoke, he fell silent again. To be honest, his mind was in a state of confusion. The fragmented memories were one thing, but since joining Eoubs, he had never encountered anything so mystical. It was even more outrageous than that crazy woman Lilith. He had experienced all sorts of strange things, including anomalous taboos, unstable populations, and the Jerusalem play. What new and surprising things could possibly come his way?
But this time, He Yu was truly bewildered. The strange man's words were far too detached, as if he had already foreseen how the world would end, how everyone's fate would unfold, and how the curtain would fall.
“Our meeting was destined, He Yu, I’ve said it many times.”
832 answered calmly, ignoring the line in his throat that could easily sever his artery, and bent down to open the drawer.
The paper cutter was taken out once again.
"This is... the key, the key that can give you all the knowledge, only it's incomplete."
"What is the content of the manuscript?" He Yu glanced at it, becoming wary, and continued to press, "Let me see them."
"You're being too cautious, operative."
He shrugged and effortlessly handed over the newly bound manuscript.
