"And these are gene-based drugs secretly developed by the gene company!"
"Once injected into the body, one can gain demonic power in a short period of time, acquiring the power of a myriad-level demonic descendant! Of course, the body will inevitably suffer some irreversible damage..."
"These are some of the secret documents from the research conducted by the gene company! I've been collecting them for years and only managed to gather this little bit."
"And this, I got it from Darkmoon..."
Lieutenant Li, like a fervent collector, was tirelessly showing off his collection to Linnaeus.
Lin Nai was indeed astonished, his expression blank.
Goodness...
This was the first time he had ever seen someone act as an undercover agent like this!
Lieutenant Li continued to gaze at the enormous man-made monster in front of him and said, "These things are my collection from most of my life."
"Whether it's Gene Corporation or Dark Moon, they all thought I was just a small pawn."
“A chess piece like me is probably their favorite type.”
"Be honest, obedient, gentle, accept all orders and arrangements, and never say anything that goes against the leader's wishes!"
"But they certainly didn't expect that such an inconspicuous yet most useful pawn like me would have such great ambitions!"
Lieutenant Li sneered and glanced at Lin Nai: "Never underestimate anyone around you, no matter how inconspicuous they may seem, because the most inconspicuous people are often the hardest to guard against—I think everyone understands this principle, but most people forget it."
Linnaeus: "..."
After a long silence, Lin Nai said, "Emmm... However, I don't think Chief Zheng sees you as a pawn."
"Hehe." Lieutenant Li, with a cigarette burning slowly in his mouth, squatted down in front of Lin Nai again and said, "Since I've already told you this much, I'll tell you another story."
He slowly removed the black tactical glove from his right hand, revealing a prosthetic mechanical hand.
Lin Nai's eyes flickered slightly.
No wonder Lieutenant Li always wears that black glove on his right hand...
In fact, in this era of advanced technology, having a robotic arm is not something to be ashamed of.
Many prostheses are so well-made that they are completely undetectable from the outside.
Moreover, its power is even greater than that of the original limb.
However, Lieutenant Li's mechanical right hand looks like a very old model, and you can tell from the roughness of the surface that it is very cheap!
Lieutenant Li is already second only to the leader at the Dark Moon Base. Although he usually appears approachable, he actually holds a very high position.
However, he was wearing such a cheap and old mechanical hand, which was really out of place.
"Do you know how I lost this hand?" Lieutenant Li narrowed his eyes and said, "When I was twenty, because I was not good with words and honest and didn't know how to speak, I displeased an apostle, so that apostle crushed it alive."
Linnaeus: "..."
"I already knew Zheng Longhai back then, and we were both from military backgrounds, very good brothers." Lieutenant Li took another deep drag of his cigarette, as if lost in a memory: "Back then, we were just powerless, low-level superhumans. Even when we got mechanical prosthetics, we could only afford the cheapest model. How could we possibly offend a big shot like an apostle?"
"However, Zheng Longhai patted me on the shoulder and quietly comforted me, saying, 'It's alright, let's remember this grudge for now. A true man is not afraid to endure; he can bend and stretch. I will definitely avenge you in the future!'"
"Because of that sentence, I've followed him for over ten years..."
At this point, Lieutenant Li gave a helpless and bitter laugh, saying, "But I reckon he's long forgotten about it..."
"Later, he became the chief of the Dark Moon, and we saw that apostle again."
"However, Zheng Longhai was drinking and chatting enthusiastically with that apostle at the dinner table, and his words were full of welcoming attitude."
“I knew from that moment that Zheng Longhai had not only forgotten what he had said, but had also been assimilated by the world.”
Lieutenant Li's voice gradually became calm and cold as he took out the book of destruction written by Carlos: "It was from that moment that I truly understood that in this world, only you yourself are the most reliable person."
"I never replaced my prosthetic leg with a better one because I wanted to constantly remind myself how pathetic I used to be."
"At the same time, I also realized a truth—in the human world, those below the level of apostle are all ants!"
"Who said that?" Lin Nai shrugged. "Look at me, aren't there a bunch of eyes watching me all day long without doing anything? Everyone wants to grab me, making me look like a piece of Tang Monk's flesh."
"That's because of your uniqueness, and also because you haven't grown up yet." Lieutenant Li smiled: "Once you reach level 30... no, level 20, I estimate that those forces that once wanted to control you will all have to avoid you."
Linnaeus smiled as well.
"Your story really touched me. But after talking to me for so long, what exactly are you trying to talk to me about?"
"I want you to help me unravel the secrets of the Book of Destruction." Lieutenant Li held the book written by Carlos, his eyes gleaming. "Help me inherit the power of the gods and become an apostle!"
Linna: "...Huh???"
Completely bewildered.
"The Record of Destruction, also known as the Book of Apocalypse." Lieutenant Li stared intently at the cover of the book in his hands: "Legend has it that as long as one deciphers the secrets of this book, one can actively communicate with the gods, complete the Apocalypse, and obtain the power of the gods!"
Linnaeus: "..."
"Where...where did you hear this legend from?"
"This is certainly not a baseless legend," Lieutenant Li said earnestly. "Among the ruins left behind by the civilization of the gods, the human race found several notes left by the White Death God Carlos."
"There is a passage in divine script that translates to: 'The secret to resonating with the souls of the gods is contained within this book. Those destined to comprehend it will complete the divine revelation and gain divine power!'"
Linnaeus: "..."
With a serious expression, Lieutenant Li said in a deep voice, "Otherwise, why do you think so many demon races want to obtain this Book of Revelation?"
Lin Nai didn't speak, her expression was strange.
Is it true or not?
However, there is absolutely nothing related to it in what he can see so far.
The Record of Destruction is simply Carlos's personal diary.
Could it be that Carlos got drunk at a party where he was dancing with the goddess and wrote it down without thinking, and that later generations took it seriously?
