"You...your Xinghui organization, what are you going to do after you get her?"
"To accomplish a greater cause." Curtain's expression suddenly became serious.
"Great?" It was the first time Chu Yao heard "Curtain" express such a tone. "For your great cause, you want to sacrifice a child who knows nothing...? If you knew all this, why didn't you do it before?!"
Chu Yao almost called out his name.
"It's just a second-rate defective product, not worth researching." Curtain sighed, "Face the reality, Xuedie. Xiaonan is already dead."
"But because of Zhixin Company's experiments, she will be reborn over and over again. In different 'containers', she will experience endless torture."
Chu Yao is not a saint.
Her hands were already stained with blood. This was a path that any cultivator was destined to take.
She had many titles: Demon Sect Ancestor, Ruthless Ghost Fairy, Heavenly Beauty, Witch...
In the eyes of the world, she is cruel, cunning, protective, scheming, and unscrupulous...
But putting aside these unsightly titles, she is just a woman struggling on the path to immortality.
She dares to do what others dare not do and does what others dare not do because she has things she cares about in her heart.
These people or things that she cares about are Chu Yao’s principles and bottom line.
"So if you take her back, you're going to do the same experiment as Zhixin Company?"
"No, Xinghui is not willing to associate with these interstellar companies." Curtain waved his hand. "We have a more gentle method. Don't worry about this. Xinghui has a way to solve her pain once and for all."
Chu Yao stopped talking. Blind stood there, waiting for her reply, his trembling toes revealing his anxiety at the moment.
He doesn't have much time left.
"Once and for all? She is someone who should have disappeared. Perhaps death is the best destination for Xiaonan." Chu Yao said, handing over the heart core in her hand.
The curtains finally loosened, and he reached out to take them, but Chu Yao did not let go immediately.
"What happens today will be what will happen tomorrow." Chu Yao's tone became serious. She took off the mask on her face, revealing Chu Xiaoye's appearance.
“Since I have already attached myself to Xiaonan’s karma, I must witness her end. Chen Yu, remember what you said today.”
Chen Yu paused. Although he did not quite understand the law of cause and effect that Chu Yao mentioned, he could still sense the weight of her words from her tone.
He nodded seriously.
Chu Yao loosened her hand, and the moment Shen Yu took away the heart core, the heavy atmosphere between the two finally eased a lot.
"Who is Chen Yu? I don't know him." He put the heart core into his clothes and his tone became lively.
"Stop pretending." Chu Yao rolled her eyes at him. "In the entire Xindu, I've never seen anyone else roll a cigarette with their hands like you do."
"Hiss, I was careless. I have to be more careful next time." Chen Yu looked at the blood butterfly mask in Chu Yao's hand, and then pointed at the surveillance camera on the ceiling. "President Chu is really careless. Aren't you afraid that there are eavesdropping devices in this room?"
If they hadn't known that "Lian" had hacked into Zhixin Company's surveillance system in advance, they would have been exposed long ago. Even so, the scene of Chu Yao taking off the mask just now scared Shen Yu.
"You dared to barge in so brazenly, are you still afraid of Zhixin's surveillance?"
Chu Yao actually used a soundproofing cover just now. However, there was no need to tell Chen Yu all these cultivators' methods.
"Xinghui, so this is your true identity." Chu Yao put the blood butterfly mask back on. "Your real purpose for coming to Lingyuan Star is also for this, the heart core?"
"There's no need to be so inquisitive, Chu Xiaoye. Everyone has to have some secrets, right? Just like I didn't ask you what you were planning to do by infiltrating the Blood Alliance." Chen Yu pinched his neck. Chu Yao saw him pull up a piece of "skin". It seemed that he was very uncomfortable wearing this mask. "It was actually an accident."
"By accident?"
"Zhixin Company is a cunning company with many locations. Besides their headquarters on Boqu Star, they have branches on almost every planet in the galaxy. I didn't expect them to be so careless as to leave something as important as the Heart Core in a remote location like Lingyuan Star... Or perhaps they were overly cautious, deliberately placing the Heart Core far from their headquarters, allowing someone with ulterior motives to exploit the situation."
Chu Yao nodded. Suddenly, something occurred to her: "Who is the employer of this order?"
"Steel Dome." Chen Yu's answer was brief and direct. "The top of Steel Dome seems to be playing a big game, involving many interstellar forces. Hunting for the heart core is just one part of it. The current situation is very unclear, and the old guys in the Grand Council are all worried..."
He seemed to feel that he had said too much, so he changed the subject:
"You'd better not mess with them. This is kind advice from your most trusted ally."
"We've already gotten into trouble." Chu Yao ignored Shen Yu's claim of being the "most trusted ally."
"Okay, then don't cause any more trouble in the future." Chen Yu shrugged. "If there's nothing else, let's just say goodbye? I might disappear for a while, don't miss me."
"Get out of here." Chu Yao wished he would disappear at the end of the universe.
When I get back, I must ask the people at Cat's Eye to check where this starlight comes from.
"Just a reminder, in twenty minutes, Zhixin's surveillance and communication systems will be restored, and their security forces will arrive by then."
"Let me remind you, remember what I just said."
"I will."
Shen Yu's back disappeared at the end of the corridor. The other security robots did not follow. They stopped working and fell to the ground.
Chu Yao walked around the laboratory and put the machines connected to the brain into the storage bag - she couldn't fit any more.
Then he retreated to the door, shook his arm, and raised a huge sea of fire, burning all the instruments.
Accompanied by billowing smoke, Chu Yao returned to the exhibition room he had visited before. Looking at the stunned little animals, he cast a thin black mist.
Shrouded in black fog, all animals quietly fell into an eternal sleep, including the little white mouse that could speak human language.
If it weren't for Chen Yu, she might have destroyed the heart core as well.
Looking at the little white mouse that seemed to be asleep, Chu Yao felt a little irritated.
She had never hated Tianren's technology as much as she did today.
After all, they are not on the same path.
The fire had begun to spread. Machines and animal carcasses slept together in the raging fire, and the air was filled with a strange, burning smell.
Chu Yao used invisibility and walked towards the gate of Zhixin Company without looking back.
