Chapter 288 Unexpected Events
After Hamilton met with the head of N89 and his confidants, he explained the purpose of his trip to them.
Joshua's response to this... is predictable.
But the reality was not as rosy as he had imagined.
The entire process took only 27 seconds.
This supreme and cruel rule.
27 seconds later, Joshua and Patrick met the same fate as Christopher—crushed by the thousands of times heavier blow, their blood and flesh stuck to the ground, impossible to remove, and they were completely dead.
Another quarter of an hour passed.
At this point, Hamilton's group had arrived at the location where the N89 district was being left and headed towards the boardroom of the Salon council.
For some unknown reason, following the route suggested by Mike Rong, they could reach downtown New York City by continuing along this main road in less than four hours. However, after traveling less than three kilometers, all the armored vehicles suffered tire blowouts at the same time, and some fuel tanks also experienced minor leaks. After finally repairing the problems, the group discovered a significant collapse and road breakage ahead, forcing them to spend time finding other accessible routes. It was truly a series of misfortunes.
"I can sense... something very bad just happened."
"Within that network of light, the spiritual power of many people has changed."
"It's like—something suddenly altered it. Have you ever seen rumination? It's like food that has already been swallowed is vomited up and chewed again."
"Something's not right."
Zelda stopped hiding it from Hamilton and told him the news as soon as she sensed something was wrong.
Having just finished combat and repairs, their convoy stopped in an area near the river, where all the surviving former members of the amusement park and the combatants who surrendered after the N89 district broadcasting station was captured were resting and recuperating.
Hamilton, who was leaning against the right side of the armored vehicle smoking, heard this, but simply exhaled a puff of smoke and calmly replied, "Hmm, I understand."
Zelda leans back tactically.
Crazy, I know you're good at fighting, but can you stop showing off like that?
Upon hearing this, Mike Rong couldn't help but say, "Excuse my bluntness, although the characteristics you've displayed are very powerful, as far as I know, Li Lin possesses the ability to control the flesh and blood of everyone."
"Moreover, to put it dramatically... even if only a small percentage of people in this world haven't been implanted with the Blood Source of All Things, the vast majority of them have accumulated enough to make you submit."
"If you really want to kill him, I still hope you have the power to instantly kill such a character, leaving him no chance to resist."
Zelda thought to himself, "Damn, you're absolutely right. That's exactly what I was thinking too. Even though we're trapped by this demon, no matter what happens, we have to save our own lives first. If Hamilton wins, it doesn't matter, but what if he loses? These traitors might get locked up in the research institute by the board and tortured to death. Cutting them into tens of thousands of pieces would be the easiest way to die, okay?"
"Exactly, I think this guy is absolutely right!"
"Your Highness, it would be wise for you to think twice before acting."
"Of course, if you can directly kill the unscrupulous business owners, that would be even better."
"I'm just trying to be helpful to you."
Zelda immediately adopted a servile demeanor, and even Mikel felt disgusted by her sycophantic appearance, finding it hard to look at.
Catherine, who was still bragging to others, suddenly felt terrible. Damn it, how did the topic suddenly become so important that she didn't even have a chance to participate?
No, if this continues, that bastard might come after me. After all, he said he would kill any cripple.
I must immediately find an opportunity to highlight my value.
She cleared her throat and forcefully joined the conversation.
"Hmm...my characteristics."
"It's related to freezing time and space."
"It's like preemptively shifting the opponent's death point to your location; it's incredibly powerful."
"However, it requires a certain amount of time to deconstruct, similar to analyzing the target."
"So, my dear father, I am truly a great talent, please don't give up on me."
Katherine immediately collapsed to the ground and rolled around, abandoning all pride. As long as she could survive, what was the point of caring about this shit?
The other two looked utterly shocked, as if struck by lightning. That's incredible, sister! You're shameless!
Hamilton simply felt that these idiots were only trying to survive and were completely unreliable.
“Katherine, I’ve heard Zelda talk about you before.”
"As you said, you can bring forward the point at which a person is destined to die."
"When we get to the board meeting, I won't trouble you with the cleanup. I'll use my special abilities to wipe out all that trash."
"Once I confront that bastard Li Lin, you will secretly analyze him and then assist me in killing him when the death point is observed."
"This is a small matter...it should be fine, right?"
Hamilton's seemingly rhetorical question was actually a command.
Everyone present understood that if Catherine said no, this guy's life would be over.
"My own father."
"You're really shortening my lifespan."
"This is such a trivial matter, as simple as your mother spitting out phlegm. There's no need for you to remind me."
"Don't worry, leave everything to me, there won't be any problems."
Katherine really wanted to refuse, because to be honest, activating her special ability would come at a price. After all, she was just an implant recipient, and forcibly activating the forbidden ability would only shorten her lifespan. But seeing Hamilton's terrifying gaze, no matter how difficult it was, she had to bite the bullet and agree.
"Hmm, not bad."
"Once this is done, you can go wherever you want without my permission."
"However, I think that by the time I kill those bastards, the cage of the Mirror of Eternal Dreams will be broken, and you will all return to the Siberian wasteland in the present world."
"I promise you that no matter which continent your branch is on, I will not cause you any trouble after this control mission is over."
So relax.
"I'm not some kind of demon."
"Everyone should value harmony and just do their job well."
"Do you understand what I mean?"
Hamilton said this.
The three dared not say no, and could only nod in agreement, fearing that they might lose their lives if something went wrong, which would be too absurd.
However, at that moment...
A newly appointed team leader stationed at the front suddenly ran over and reported to Hamilton, "Sir! We've spotted someone acting very suspiciously! She's under control. Should we bring her over for questioning?"
