Chapter 560 Pantheon
The sealed cabin that enclosed Subject Zero gradually opened, and the shivering cold air gradually dissipated.
The researchers around him were all wearing protective clothing. For a moment, Li Muhan couldn't tell whether he was still in Prometheus's Bioengineering Research Institute.
"Mr. Michael." Lin Ze walked towards Michael with a document, and then handed the document and pen to Michael.
"First of all, the Tianhai City Special Management Bureau thanks you for your willingness to assist with this experiment, but we must also obtain your guarantee."
"Guarantee?" Michael took the document, and his original doubts disappeared after he took a few glances at the document.
"Confidentiality agreement." Lin Ze said with a smile, "Although the Chinese Special Management Bureau took over these children from Area 91 through legitimate means, I believe you should also be aware of how many special management bureaus and illegal organizations around the world are watching them. So, Mr. Michael, we hope you can keep this matter confidential."
Michael didn't even hesitate before he raised his hand and casually swiped the document. A line of golden ancient Hebrew characters appeared on the document.
"Aren't you going to discuss this with the Western European Special Administration?"
Lin Ze asked with a smile.
"I don't need to explain my actions to anyone. No one can restrain an archangel."
Michael's words also fully demonstrated to Li Muhan that outside of China, the other special management bureaus' control over aliens is actually not that strong.
It can also be said that there is not very close cooperation between them.
"That would be the best." Lin Ze did not make any comment on this. After all, his decision was indeed beneficial to the current situation.
After Michael signed the agreement, he and Li Muhan walked into the sealed cabin together.
Inside the sealed cabin, the frozen girl lay quietly, her face calm, as if she was having a sweet dream.
Li Muhan couldn't help but want to reach out and touch her, but was stopped by Michael in time.
"The angelic power within her is quite unstable." Michael's voice was low and powerful. "Try to avoid contact with her outside of the Pantheon."
Li Muhan nodded.
Seeing that both of them were ready, Lin Ze signaled all researchers to leave the room.
When everyone could only see the situation inside through monitoring equipment or reinforced glass, Lin Ze told Li Muhan that they could begin.
This was the first time Li Muhan tried to enter someone else's inner temple.
He had never tried it, but Michael said he could guide him. It was actually not difficult. He just imagined that there was a door on the girl's body, and the key in his hand that originally led to the Pandemonium was now going to open this new world.
Li Muhan slowly raised his hand and gently touched the forehead of Subject Zero.
A cold touch came from the fingertips, followed by a slight tremor.
He had to focus....and then in a split second.
Seize the source of this trembling power!
Crunch.
It's like a key fitting into a lock.
Li Muhan instantly felt a huge stone gate appear in front of him.
Without hesitation, he raised his hand to push it open, but the stone door was too heavy, even with the key.
But it's still a bit difficult.
Li Lingan.
Don't resist me, don't reject me!
Li Muhan pushed the stone door desperately while calling out in his heart.
I'm here to save you. I will save you. I won't let anything happen to you, just like your father...
Just like you once protected me.
I will also... protect you.
Snap——
A strange memory flashed back into Li Muhan's mind as the stone door was gradually pushed open.
The memory became clearer and clearer.
"...What is this thing? Whose memory is this..."
Li Muhan used his body to support the stone door, but he could only cover his head with his hands, because these memories were hitting his brain like a flood.
Give him a name, Chengtian.
"Huh? Didn't we already choose our daughter's name? Li Ling'an."
[I'm not talking about An An... Cheng Tian, I'm talking about this child...]
.......
Who, who?! Who are you talking about?! Who are you naming?!
[Lu Xue, go, take An An with you and don’t look back]
The disheveled man's blood-covered back and his determined eyes.
[...Chengtian...I'm sorry...]
A woman, pierced by countless spears, fell in a closed and narrow tunnel.
[…Hahahaha…..hahahaha, this fucked up world, hahahaha]
The man grabbed the boy by the neck.
They killed my wife and took my daughter away, all because of you, all because of you little monster.
Is it me...? Li Muhan felt that breathing was a little difficult.
[Why, why wasn't it you who was taken away?!]
I don’t know…I don’t know…Please…don’t look at me like that.
[Hahahaha... They want a monster, right? Fine... I'll make you a monster, just like the original intention of your creation. You will definitely become a monster that can destroy the world, hahahahahahahahahaha]
juvenile.
Boy!!
Michael's echo shocked Li Muhan's mind.
He suddenly opened his eyes.
Then I found myself lying on my back on a green lawn.
What did you just see...
"How are you feeling, boy?"
Michael held out his hand to him.
Li Muhan didn't shake Michael's hand, but stood up by himself: "I...I don't know, I seemed to have seen some other people's memories just now."
"Young man, this is the temple of Subject Zero. The aura you carry is identical to that of Subject Zero. So if you truly saw a memory, it could only be yours or Subject Zero's. There is no other possibility."
"...I, I don't know. I can't remember it now..."
Li Muhan tried hard to recall, but apart from Li Chengtian's crazy and angry face, everything else became blurry.
"Are we now inside the body of Subject Zero?" Li Muhan looked around. Apart from the endless grassland, he did not see any scenes similar to the temple inside his body.
"...The conditions here are better than where I live."
The corners of Li Muhan's mouth twitched.
Michael did not answer directly. A flaming cross sword appeared in his hand and pointed to the sky. "Lift your head, young man. Our destination is above."
Under Michael's guidance, Li Muhan raised his head and his eyes penetrated the blue sky above the grassland. His sight was attracted by a magnificent castle in the sky.
This castle seems to be the residence of gods, suspended above the clouds and surrounded by soft mist, giving people a feeling of mystery and solemnity.
The base of the castle is made of solid obsidian, emitting a deep and calm luster.
The castle walls soar into the sky, and are carved with intricate reliefs of angels and mythological stories. Every detail is lifelike, as if angels will fly out of the walls at any time.
The windows of the castle were shining with strange light, as if countless gems were inlaid in them, or mysterious magic was flowing through them.
Around the castle, you can see some transparent bridges. They seem to be made of the purest crystal, connecting the castle with the surrounding clouds, giving people a dreamy feeling.
Occasionally, light and shadow flash across the bridge, as if angels guarding the castle are patrolling.
The castle is topped by a huge golden dome decorated with patterns of the sun and stars, symbolizing supreme power and wisdom.
Under the sunlight, the dome reflects a dazzling light, like a miracle, making people dare not look directly at it.
"This palace is a microcosm of its owner's deepest desires." Michael frowned slightly. "Young man, I believe this naive girl could never imagine such a magnificent castle. To me, all of this looks like the work of my two brothers."
"You mean..." Li Muhan tried to guess, "This world... the actual controller is no longer Subject Zero?"
"Only you can give the answer, young man. Go and feel the aura of this castle."
Li Muhan listened to Michael's words, and then slowly closed his eyes. He no longer used his eyes to observe this magnificent aerial building, but used the Hall of Ten Thousand Demons in his body to touch the castle.
Just as Michael said, there was almost no trace of Subject Zero in the castle, and every corner of it was occupied by some ridiculously powerful aliens.
The situation is not optimistic.
But Li Muhan still tried to let his consciousness enter the depths of the castle.
He soon discovered that in the center of the area occupied by these aliens, there was still a blank area.
And there, Li Muhan felt the breath of Subject Zero...even a sob.
She was crying and calling for help, but there was no one here to respond to her.
Her final fate could only be to be attacked by these alien creatures, or to be forcibly torn apart from the outside world and have her power extracted.
Li Muhan would never allow this to happen.
"She is still trying and hasn't given up." He opened his eyes and looked at the castle, with golden light flashing in his eyes.
"My two brothers are furious now, young man. They won't let us reach the castle easily."
"So whose side are you on?" Li Muhan looked at Michael.
"If you can truly restore the girl to her former state and release my two brothers, young man, I will fight for you."
As soon as he finished speaking, six wings suddenly stretched out from behind the blond man, and he stretched out his hand towards Li Muhan.
"Let me take you to the castle."
Li Muhan smiled and shook his head.
"Since we already have a castle, why not make this fairy tale more exciting."
After saying this, his body began to burn with black and red flames.
