Chapter 523 Demons and Angels
Li Chengtian and Lu Xue...the only child is a daughter?
Then... then I am... who am I...
Originally, Li Muhan had completely regarded Li Chengtian as his own father in his heart, but now, the sudden words from Lin Ze's mouth were like a bolt from the blue to him.
At this moment, he finally understood the meaning of the question Lin Ze asked him on the rooftop before.
[Li Muhan, if one day you discovered that the world is not what you thought it was, and even everything you knew about yourself was fake, what would you do? Would you want to destroy the world?]
Who am I?
He is an orphan who grew up in an orphanage, but he has no memory of the orphanage at present. He doesn't know why, but after leaving Prometheus, he completely lost that memory, and at the same time, it seems that he also lost something very important in his heart.
Did he really grow up in an orphanage?
"Li Muhan!"
Lin Ze's angry rebuke pulled Li Muhan's thoughts back from the whirlpool. He slowly raised his head and looked at Lin Ze blankly, not knowing that he was already in tears at this moment.
He didn't know why he was crying. Was it because he was too disappointed? Disappointed that the man he had always thought of as his father actually had nothing to do with him.
"I'm sorry, Li Muhan. I don't know how to comfort you, but... judging from the files and information we have, Li Chengtian, and Lu Xue, whom you mentioned earlier, cannot be your parents."
Lin Ze's words were heavy, and every word hit Li Muhan's heart like a hammer.
"Then... then I... I... yes, right, then who is this... daughter you are talking about?"
There was a hint of urgency in Li Muhan's voice. He was eager to find the answer and the meaning of his existence.
Lin Ze rubbed his temples and seemed a little tired.
"That child's name is Li Ling'an. If she's still alive, she would be about your age. But we have reason to believe that Li Ling'an may no longer be in this world..."
There was a hint of helplessness and regret in Lin Ze's words.
Originally, Lin Ze was going to say something, but Li Muhan was unable to listen.
He slowly stood up, bowed stiffly to Lin Ze and said goodbye, then left Lin Ze's office like a zombie.
"well."
Lin Ze sat on the sofa, where Li Muhan had just sat, and couldn't help but sigh.
"He clearly did nothing wrong, so why did he have to go through all this? Is this what is called the Way of Heaven, what is called righteousness in this world?"
"Bullshit justice, heaven's way."
A voice came from the door, and then the door of Lin Ze's office was pushed open.
Wang Yao walked in with an angry look on his face.
"Were you the one eavesdropping outside just now?" Lin Ze's voice was filled with a hint of displeasure.
"It was me, that's right. I wasn't eavesdropping. I was standing outside listening openly."
Wang Yao's self-righteous attitude made Lin Ze feel helpless.
This man no longer belongs to the ordinary world, and even his thoughts are seriously out of touch with modern society.
Wang Yao walked into the office, his eyes gleaming with determination and unyielding spirit. "If the so-called justice and righteousness of this world mean sacrificing the innocent and forcing people to endure injustice, then I would rather be the enemy of this world!"
"Stop talking like that. The mistake you made last time made you miss the love of your life. Now you're still saying this. It seems like you haven't had enough of the prison food in the Yin and Yang worlds over the years."
"Is that a thing?!"
Wang Yao slammed the table, causing a crack to appear on Lin Ze's desk.
Lin Ze looked at Wang Yao, feeling mixed emotions.
He knew that although Wang Yao was reckless, what people like him said was sometimes the truth.
But as the deputy director of the Special Management Bureau, he also has his helplessness and responsibilities.
"Wang Yao, I understand how you feel, but this world is far more complex than we can imagine. Some things can't be done just as we wish."
"Don't fool me! Lin Ze! I've found out everything these days! I know what happened to Li Chengtian! I can't imagine that Chang Yue stood by and watched while Li Chengtian went through that!"
"He had his reasons for doing this."
"Bullshit reason!"
Wang Yao was extremely angry. He picked up the teacup without saying a word and drank all the water and tea leaves in it.
Then he snorted coldly, "So what? If even the most basic justice and fairness cannot be guaranteed, then what is the meaning of this world's existence?"
"Li Muhan's matter is not that simple. It involves many things. Don't worry about it. You will be returning to the underworld next month anyway. You don't know when you will come out next time. Don't make things difficult for others."
"What do you mean? Do you dislike me? I may not be keeping up with the times, but I understand the greater good. Li Muhan is not wrong. He should know the truth!"
“Sometimes lies don’t hurt, but the truth is a sharp knife.”
"That's a twisted logic! I won't talk to you anymore! If Chang Yue can't control Li Muhan, then I'll go! I'll give him justice!"
"Okay, come back."
Lin Ze called Wang Yao back who was walking to the door.
"I promise you that I will give Li Muhan justice, but you also have to promise me that you won't act on impulse again."
As he spoke, Lin Ze picked up a document on the table and walked to Wang Yao.
"I just want Li Muhan to do something. Can you help me see if it's suitable?"
Wang Yao took the document impatiently.
After a few glances, he said, "Hasn't he even participated in combat member training? Is it appropriate for you to let him lead the team?"
"We're short on manpower. We need to deal with Zuo Xi, Raven, and the Six-Eared Macaque. We also need to hurry up and deal with the Border City seeds being stolen by Moriarty. We also need to rebuild the Biological Laboratory."
"What the hell, I don't understand a single thing you're saying."
Wang Yao returned the information to Lin Ze.
"Anyway, I won't leave him idle thinking about those things. I will use this time to find the truth."
Wang Yao nodded and said, "You'd better really know how to do it, otherwise I will definitely drag Chang Yue out of the office and beat him up."
Lin Ze didn't think Wang Yao was joking.
In fact, he had beaten Chang Yue once, but that was when he was a child.
At this moment, Li Muhan walked out of the Special Management Bureau. He drove his car and planned to go home tiredly to take a shower.
But just as the old car passed an intersection, a force from the realm suddenly enveloped it.
Although Li Muhan was in a trance, he was not so numb that he didn't notice this.
The moment he entered the realm, he felt a strong sense of crisis.
Almost instinctively, he opened the door and jumped out of the car.
At the moment of flipping out, a figure suddenly fell from the traffic light and smashed the car into scrap metal with tremendous force.
“My beloved car!!!”
Li Muhan held his head and wailed, but when he raised his head and looked at the figure angrily, he was stunned.
Standing on the roof was a girl in her teens, wearing a somewhat exaggerated black leather underwear. Her slender thighs were covered with black runes, flashing with mysterious light.
She wore a muzzle on her face like one used to restrain a vicious dog, her eyes flashed with golden light, and the pure white long sword in her hand was very eye-catching.
This girl was none other than Subject Zero, whom Li Muhan had fought against in Prometheus before.
Wasn't she captured by Moriarty? Why was she here now, attacking him? Li Muhan was filled with doubts, but this was obviously not the time to ask questions.
"It just so happens that there's an order from above to bring you back."
Li Muhan was not vague either, and the same golden light flashed in his eyes. In the previous fight, Subject Zero was almost crushed by Li Muhan.
So Li Muhan felt that there wouldn’t be any big trouble this time.
"Realm, Thundering Abyss!"
Li Muhan shouted loudly, and his realm power was instantly activated. Golden lightning flashed on his body, carrying violent and destructive power.
"Realm...Holy Sky Track." Subject Zero was not to be outdone. She whispered the name of her realm.
As she finished her words, the night sky above her head suddenly broke open, and a white fire fell from the sky, directly enveloping Li Muhan.
The burning of this pure white flame immediately made Li Muhan feel difficulty breathing, as if he was born to be restrained by this white flame.
His lightning actually showed signs of dissipating under the burning of the white flames.
Li Muhan was shocked. He didn't expect that the boundary power of Subject Zero was so strong, and it seemed to be just right to restrain his lightning.
He knew that he could no longer hold back and had to go all out.
At the same time, Bal's voice came into his mind.
[Be careful, this is the realm of the Seraph Gabriel, let that woman deal with her.]
Li Muhan immediately transformed the realm into black flames.
"Realm, Red Dragon Purgatory!"
The black and red flames rose instantly, completely devouring the holy fire that fell from the sky. At the same time, Li Muhan's thick dragon tail slammed the ground hard, and with this force, he pounced towards the girl.
The girl was not at all panicked, compared to her previous instinctive fighting style.
Now she seems so at ease facing Li Muhan's attack.
The moment the pair of pure and flawless angel wings spread out from behind her, light enveloped her body.
The battle between the angel and the dragon alarmed the supervisory department of the Tianhai City Special Management Bureau.
The execution team quickly rushed to the scene, but when they entered this realm, they saw a scene that horrified them.
The evil dragon leaped high and pounced on the angel, but the angel dodged it nimbly and the fiery sword in the angel's hand pierced the evil dragon's back.
The evil dragon roared, turned around, opened its mouth, and spewed out flames that burned the sky.
The angel drew his sword and dodged, and then the two men distanced themselves from each other again.
"It's Subject Zero!" Yan Yu made a prompt decision and picked up the communicator and shouted to Lin Ze.
"I'll be right there."
Lin Ze replied, and then the fighting dragon and angel collided again.
"Realm...Soul Devouring Arbitration!"
Li Muhan transformed the realm again, holding a revolver transformed by a black ring in each hand, and fired at the angels swooping down from the sky.
But the angel did not dodge or evade, but simply raised his hands, and two pure white spears decorated with feathers appeared in his hands.
"The Realm...the time of judgment."
In an instant, the black bullets and the silver bullets tilted towards each other and exploded in the sky.
Under the tremendous force, cracks began to appear in the realm decree.
"Engineering troops!! Strengthen the boundary decree!"
The members of the engineering department present at the scene could do nothing except help the two protagonists strengthen the boundary decree.
[Hehehe... Interesting... This is Raphael's domain. The thing inside this little thing is incredible... Guest... Please show no mercy, you must destroy her right here and now!! Old Baphomet will give you all his power!! We can't let this little beast survive!!]
"Don't...order...me!"
Li Muhan roared in anger, in the Soul-Devouring Arbitration form, and the hoarseness of his voice was particularly terrifying.
He put away his revolver, then raised his hand and grabbed the large shotgun, and the soul ammunition was fully loaded at this moment.
But the angel in the sky was even more exaggerated.
She also put away her guns and raised one hand. A golden flame gathered above her head and then expanded more and more, like a small sun.
"Destroy!"
"Creation..."
The Soul Spear collided with the golden flames, and the Realm Decree could no longer withstand such damage.
But just as the Realm Decree was about to collapse and this force was about to tear the real world apart, another force descended from the sky.
The moment this figure passed through the air, a crack appeared at the same time.
At the moment when these two forces were about to explode, another figure suddenly rushed over. He shouted and punched the two forces into the crack.
Li Muhan saw clearly that it was Wang Yao who tore open the crack, and it was Chang Yue who punched this force into the crack.
Swish——
At the same time, a flash of knife light flashed across the sky, and one of the angel's wings was cut off. Her figure slowly fell like a kite with a broken string.
Finally, Lin Ze held it in his arms.
"She's exhausted, don't worry."
Lin Ze looked at the condition of Subject Zero, and then nodded to Chang Yue and Wang Yao.
