Chapter 400: Mobius Strip
When Li Muhan saw Wu Qin again, he found that this originally thin and frail figure now looked even more desolate.
At this moment, he no longer had his glasses on his face, and the pupil of his blind eye was now a deathly gray.
The straight white coat of the researcher had been taken off, and now he was wearing the prison uniform used by the Special Management Bureau to restrict the power of aliens or combat members.
Wu Qin agreed to meet Li Muhan, but he also made a request, that Li Muhan must meet alone. Chang Yue originally did not agree, but Wu Qin said that if Li Muhan did not come to see him alone, he would not say anything.
At this moment, Li Muhan and Wu Qin were sitting opposite each other at the table, and Wu Qin was the first to speak.
"You arrived a little later than I expected, Li Muhan, or is it the attack on your team that has you so flustered?"
"I'm sorry, I'm not as smart as you think. Since you know why I'm here, I'll tell you straight out. Is the tragedy that happened to Team 7 ten years ago related to Moriarty?"
Li Muhan asked directly. Wu Qin paused for a moment before responding, "Ten years ago, I was just a small clerk, one of Moriarty's many students. So, I have no idea what he did before, what he is doing now, or what he plans to do in the future."
Seeing that Li Muhan frowned and seemed a little impatient, Wu Qin leaned forward, stared at Li Muhan with his grayish-white pupils that had lost their luster, and said.
"But that was in the past. Now, I can clearly tell you, yes, Li Muhan, you guessed correctly. Ten years ago, Team Seven mistakenly entered Moriarty's testing ground."
"What on earth does he want to do?"
Li Muhan slowly clenched his fists, and a chaotic demonic aura slowly lingered around him.
"You should have heard that Moriarty's boundary ability is personality shaping. This power is originally very weak, only slightly stronger than a psychologist's conversation skills." Wu Qin's body came back to the test, looking at Li Muhan with a hint of amusement.
"But he's different. To others, this ability might be a useless thing, but to Moriarty, there's no power in the world more suited to him than character building."
"Li Muhan." Wu Qin looked at Li Muhan and raised his eyebrows slightly: "Captain of the Seventh Squad, you and Zuo Xi really look alike. Do you remember Mu Ya?"
"Remember, get straight to the point."
"Mu Ya, also known as Tai Sui, appears to have become a part of Moriarty through his own choices, but in reality, that's Moriarty's modus operandi. He'll make you feel like everything is your own choice, that everything is under your control. But in reality... when did you develop your own consciousness or thoughts?"
After hearing Wu Qin's words, Li Muhan remembered the first time he came into contact with Mu Ya's true form in the building where the Huang Group's annual meeting was held. At that time, she should have become Moriarty. If Yin Qi's call had not interrupted him, Li Muhan would not have had the confidence to suppress that murderous intent.
"He wants to shape you, Li Muhan. Be careful, he's always by your side." Wu Qin stood up, walked over to Li Muhan, and whispered in Li Muhan's ear, "Do you know why he's so obsessed with shaping you? Because you... are the rules themselves."
The moment Li Muhan heard these words, his pupils suddenly contracted, and his brain seemed to be pulled by a force to make him make the wrong decision.
He suddenly raised his head and looked beside him. The original Wu Qin had now turned into the cute short-haired girl.
"Moriarty!!!"
Li Muhan's emotions instantly got out of control. He gripped the throat of the girl in front of him tightly with his palms. He used such great force that she was thrown heavily onto the interrogation table. The wooden tabletop instantly shattered into pieces with a deafening sound.
Immediately afterwards, the heavy door of the interrogation room was suddenly pushed open, and Chang Yue rushed in like a gust of wind and grabbed the furious Li Muhan.
"Li Muhan! Control yourself! Look carefully, this person is not Moriarty!"
Chang Yue's voice was firm and powerful. He grabbed Li Muhan's collar and shook him hard, trying to wake him up.
Li Muhan's breathing gradually calmed down. He took a deep breath and closed his eyes. When he opened them again, his eyes had regained some rationality.
He stared at the person lying on the broken table. That person was not Moriarty, but Wu Qin.
"...This is just a poor imitation, Li Muhan." Wu Qin struggled to his feet with the help of two prison guards. He stared at Li Muhan, his tone full of sarcasm: "My imitation may not even reach one thousandth of Moriarty's personality, but it can have an impact on you... Captain Li, for someone who has sealed within him..."
He did not utter the four words "world-destroying demon", but chose silent lip language, and the heavy truth permeated the air.
Li Muhan's heart trembled, and he began to understand the source of the tragedy that Team 7 had encountered many years ago, the lingering criminal emperor like a ghost - Moriarty.
"So, did you get the answer you wanted?" Wu Qin's words revealed a hint of indifference, as if driving them away.
"What does this have to do with Shuo Bai?"
The moment Wu Qin was taken away, he turned his head and looked at Li Muhan with complicated eyes. A meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he left a puzzling sentence.
"The more powerful a person is, the less willing they are to look down at their feet. Shuo Bai is a typical example of this type of person. She thinks she can control everything. Moriarty's power coincides with her thinking. Tell me, Li Muhan."
The only pupil left in Wu Qin's eye that could see revealed a hint of depth at this moment.
"What happens when two venomous snakes snake along the same path, each wanting to devour the other?"
"The competition between them will only bring greater disasters, just like a Möbius strip." Li Mu said coldly.
Wu Qin nodded noncommittally, then said, "Then you should understand what Team Seven has been through."
Shuobai and Moriarty, two equally dangerous beings, were like two venomous snakes, each lurking in a dark corner. Their clash only deepened the chaos. Shuobai's arrogance and Moriarty's cunning, like two destructive forces, intertwined and catalyzed each other, making the already turbulent situation even more unpredictable.
Wu Qin's figure gradually disappeared as he was being taken away, leaving only those deep words echoing in the air.
"That's why Shuo Bai was so eager to have Zuo Xi executed, even going so far as to have him personally oversee the execution. This was a trap set up by Shuo Bai and Moriarty..."
Li Muhan turned around and looked at Chang Yue, and he found that Chang Yue seemed to have understood everything before him.
The flames emanating from those deep pupils seemed to have been suppressed for a long time before bursting out.
But now, Chang Yue still suppressed his anger.
"At least in the end, Shuo Bai was fooled by Moriarty, because Zuo Xi was still alive. Not only that, Moriarty, who got Tai Sui... now seems to be more powerful. He even integrated the power of the Yellow Spring Raven into Zuo Xi's body." Li Muhan said with a frown.
At the same time, the garbage disposal center in Tianhai City was dark and damp.
A man was wearily rummaging through a mountain of waste, his figure looking particularly thin.
A moldy steamed bun caught his eye and he grabbed it without hesitation, stuffed it into his mouth, and chewed the potentially deadly food.
His voice was unclear, with a hoarse whisper: "...Shuo Bai...Chang Yue...Wu Zhiqi...No...Wu Zhiqi was just an innocent bystander, he is not guilty..."
As soon as these words left his mouth, the man's burned face suddenly turned fierce. "Don't show mercy, don't spare any of them. No one can escape! No one can escape!"
"...Yes, yes, no one can escape..."
At this moment, a car from the Special Management Bureau slowly drove to the entrance of the garbage dump, and the person who got out of the car was none other than Yan Yu.
Today, the Tianhai City Special Management Bureau received more than ten eyewitness reports, and Yan Yu personally checked them all without exception.
And now, she had finally found the person she was looking for.
Swish——
The cold air condensed into an ice spear in Yan Yu's hand. She accelerated instantly, pointed directly at the man, and prepared to carry out her mission.
