Chapter 120 I am your father (6K)
Robo looked at Gerald—now it should be Bai Wei—who was walking towards him with a nervous look on his face.
The scene of Bai Wei grabbing Duck's head and pressing it into the blender just now left him with a deep psychological trauma, especially since Duck's broken skull, which looked like a melon rind, was not far away from him and he could see it as long as he raised his head. This made him feel dizzy, as if he was going to faint in the next second.
But he still held on.
Bai Wei walked up to Robo and looked at him with interest. After finally taking over Gerard's body, Bai Wei didn't want to give it back so soon.
"Interesting." Bai Wei looked at the iron rod beside Luo Bo, then leaned over, picked up the iron rod, played with it in his hand, and asked with a smile, "I think this rod should not be used to attack me, right?"
"No, of course not." Rob shook his head and said, "I just want to help you kill Dak."
"Yeah, I see." Bai Wei nodded and smiled again, "If you want to use it to attack me, I'm going to attack you now."
Bai Wei's words made Luo Bo feel a little strange.
It’s not that this sentence itself is so strange, but Robo feels that "Jellal"'s current personality is completely different from what he originally showed.
He no longer looked bitter and resentful as if he had hundreds of secrets in his heart, but stood there with a smile. Even though he was in the spreading sea of fire, there was no sign of tension between his brows.
But somehow, the current "Jellal" made Robo more nervous than before, especially that eye, which seemed to be able to see through all his disguises.
"So there are still people in this factory who don't get along with him?" Bai Wei spoke again, "It seems that you are different from those guys in the Security Department. Hmm... there are no signs of contamination in your body. It's relatively normal. So tell me what you know."
"I am indeed different from them." Robo whispered, "The people in the Security Department are the same as Director Dak, but not as..."
He subconsciously turned his head to look at Dak's body.
At this moment, the flames had already climbed up, and Dark's mountain-like body suddenly made a crackling sound, just like burning lard, but the smell was much worse than lard.
"...It hasn't reached that point yet." Luo Bo took a deep breath, then mustered up the courage to look at Bai Wei, "There's something wrong with the source oil."
"My coming here means I already know about this kind of thing." Bai Wei said, "Why don't you report it if there is a problem?"
"Report it?" Luo Bo smiled bitterly and shook his head. "To whom should I report it?"
"Who is your immediate boss?"
"Bishop Wisen of District Five and Bishop Holman of District Four," Robb answered, "but they haven't shown up for ten years, and Bishop Holman finally showed up, but..."
At this point, Robbo suddenly paused.
He originally wanted to say that Bishop Holman was murdered, but when the words came to his lips, he suddenly remembered that Bishop Holman seemed to have been killed by the person in front of him, and even a wanted warrant had been issued, so he suddenly didn't know what to say.
But Bai Wei didn't care. He turned his head to look at Dake's body, and then looked further away at the employees who were burned to death on the workbench.
"Are those all contaminated by the source oil?" Bai Wei asked again, "Why are some people contaminated and turned into tools, while others are contaminated and turned into monsters?"
"The employees were contaminated by the source oil." Robo said, "But Director Dak and the people in the security department are different. They became like this because... they ate some strange meat."
Bai Wei raised his eyebrows: "Strange meat?"
"Yes." Luo Bo wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. He didn't know whether he was sweating so much because of nervousness or because it was too hot. "I don't know where the meat came from. It should be given to them by the Zhuxin Society. Ah, the Zhuxin Society is..."
"I know what Zhuxinhui is." Bai Wei interrupted Luo Bo calmly, "I also roughly know what the piece of meat you mentioned is. Is it the kind that you can never finish eating it no matter how much you eat, and that will grow back as you eat more?"
Luo Bo shuddered, seeming surprised that Bai Wei knew so much.
"That's true." Robbo nodded repeatedly, and then couldn't help asking, "Do you know what kind of meat that is?"
Bai Wei glanced at Luo Bo and said lightly: "You'd better not know."
After hearing this obvious warning, Robbo didn't dare to ask any further questions.
Bai Wei seemed to be thinking about something.
There is no doubt that the piece of meat is the piece of meat of the new evil creature.
Only the flesh and blood of God will not be completely destroyed. No matter what kind of trauma it suffers, it can recover instantly. That evil creature has not yet become a god, but he has more or less acquired the power of God.
The reason why Bai Wei knew so much was naturally because this was the content shown in the game. The new evil creature relied on sharing its own flesh and blood to accumulate believers and spread its own power.
In a way, the same as the God of the Rhine and his four origin followers.
But this one is weaker than Rhine and much crazier.
Moreover, judging from Director Dak and the people in the Security Department, Bai Wei had a rough guess about the content that was not shown in the game, that is, how the Lyra God had fallen to this point today, but there was no direct evidence.
But there is no direct evidence here.
Bai Wei looked at Luo Bo again and asked, "Why didn't anything happen to you? You didn't become those employees, nor did you become a monster like that. In a place full of monsters like this, it's really too special to have an ordinary person like you."
Bai Wei's question caused Robo to fall into silence for a long time. He looked into Robo's eyes, which revealed struggle and regret.
"What?" Bai Wei asked calmly, "Is it a secret that cannot be told?"
"No, it's not." Robb said, "I just worried that you wouldn't believe it."
"I've seen so many things, is there anything else you can tell me that I won't believe?"
"If I say it's because Director Dak is protecting me, would you believe it?"
Bai Wei raised his eyebrows again, and then turned to look at the body being engulfed by flames: "Him? To protect you?"
"Yes."
"Well...tell me about it."
Robbo also shifted his gaze and looked at the burning corpse, as if he was trying to find some familiar shadows in it.
"In the beginning, Director Dak was not like this. He was a friend of my father." Robo said slowly, "After I entered the factory, he also took good care of me. He specially arranged for me to be his assistant. I did not directly do the source oil processing work, so I was not contaminated by the source oil."
"Then how did he eat that piece of meat?"
"It was sent by the Zhuxin Society." Robo clenched his fist subconsciously. "At that time, he had already discovered that there was something wrong with the source oil and wanted to report it. At this time, the Zhuxin Society came, but they pretended to be the messenger of Bishop Holman and sent a large piece of rotten meat. They said that as long as you eat this, you can fight the pollution."
"Does he believe this?"
“…Some things cannot be avoided just by not believing in them.”
Bai Wei understood. It seemed that the Zhuxin Society had resorted to tough measures.
After all, this is the director of the Yuanyou Processing Plant, and they really need his support.
As for what happened later, there is no need to explain it so clearly. The factory director apparently retained his sanity for a period of time. Although such sanity was not enough for him to do more, it was enough to try his best to prevent a young man from falling into the abyss.
But that’s all there is to it. After all, the power of God is not something that mortals can resist with their will alone.
The Rhine is the best example of this.
Bai Wei looked at Dake's body for the third time.
The flames had completely consumed him, and those limbs that did not belong to him were burned up in the high temperature, causing his body to gradually resemble that of a normal person.
No wonder he was able to become Gerard's good friend in the past.
Bai Wei thought.
At this time, Bai Wei heard a muffled sound. He turned around and saw Luo Bo kowtow to him: "What are you doing?"
"Mr. Gerard, I have told you everything I know. There are only a few details missing." Rob's voice was trembling. "I can tell you anything you want to know, but can you tell me later? I want to see my father. I want to see him... for the last time."
"Your father?" Bai Wei asked, "Which workshop is he in?"
"Workshop No. 3."
Bai Wei recalled that it seemed to be one of the first workshops to be set on fire.
In other words…
He suddenly caught a glimpse of a passing black shadow out of the corner of his eye.
"clang"!
Bai Wei blocked with the chainsword in his hand.
Sparks burst out.
The attacker immediately retreated, and the flaming sword in his hand drew several sharp arcs in the air.
Then, she stood still.
Bai Wei looked at the woman who had suddenly attacked him. After a brief recollection, he remembered her identity and couldn't help but smile: "Interesting."
Robo was a little confused. He didn't know who this woman who suddenly appeared was. He just saw that she seemed to be wearing the clothes of the Devil Army and holding the flaming sword of the Devil Army in her hand. This made him feel deeply uneasy and impatient, because there was only one thing he wanted to do now.
Then, he heard Bai Wei's voice: "Go quickly."
Luo Bo was slightly stunned, and then subconsciously looked at Bai Wei.
Bai Wei's eyes fell on the woman, and then he said slowly: "Is there anything in this world that is more natural than children seeing their parents for the last time?"
Robo's throat moved slightly, and then he kowtowed heavily to Bai Wei again. Then he quickly stood up and ran towards the deeper sea of fire.
They both watched as Robbo's figure disappeared from their sight.
Then, Ina's gaze fell on Bai Wei again.
Then she slowly said, "Who...are you?"
Bai Wei smiled: "Can't you see?"
"I,"
"It's your father."
…
Ina.
One of Gerard's rarely mentioned children.
The first time Bai Wei heard this name was on the suicide machine in Gerard's house. The name was the last one in the list of heirs to the relics reported by the machine.
It's also the only valid one.
But that doesn't mean she is unimportant. Bai Wei guessed that Ina should have been very young when the list was drawn up.
And now, she has grown up.
She is old enough to stand against Jellal and become a rebellious son like her brother.
Logically speaking, faced with such a loving father and filial son situation, it would be more interesting for Bai Wei to return the body to Gerard and enjoy the fun himself.
It depends on whether Gerard has the heart to kill this unfilial daughter.
But from Ina's sneak attack on Bai Wei just now, he discovered something - Ina obviously avoided his vital points.
And she seemed to have realized that she was not Jellal.
This is quite interesting.
Bai Wei suddenly became interested, but then he felt very bad and didn't want to go back.
Let’s see what’s going on.
Ina didn't know what Bai Wei was thinking in his mind, because in her eyes, it was still Gerard's face.
That extremely familiar face, but with a very unfamiliar smile - she was very sure that Gerard would never smile like that.
"You are not him." Ina spoke again, her face full of solemnity, "Who are you?"
Seeing that Ina was so sure, Bai Wei no longer needed to pretend. He shrugged and said, "Okay, you figured it out. I'm definitely not him. Do you want to know where he went?"
Ina tightly grasped the blazing sword in her hand, while watching the smile on Bai Wei's face grow wider and wider.
"That guy named Gerald," Bai Wei said softly, "I have killed him."
Ina's eyes widened instantly, and her beautiful pupils were filled with murderous intent. She could no longer hold back, and rushed towards Bai Wei, waving the flaming sword.
…
"Lord Yongxin!"
The door of Yongxin's office was pushed open and a man walked in hurriedly.
"Something happened at the source oil processing plant!"
Yongxin stood by the window, looking in the direction where Districts Four and Five connected, where thick smoke was still billowing.
"I've seen it." Yongxin's face also looked unhappy.
"The Skeleton Troops have already passed by!" the subordinate said while wiping his sweat, "but it's still unclear what the situation is."
"What else could it be?" Yong Xin narrowed his eyes slightly. "At this critical moment, apart from that guy, who else could cause us such trouble?"
The subordinate's eyes widened: "You mean... Gerald? But how is this possible? The source oil processing plant should be our most core secret! No one has noticed anything unusual for so many years... We don't even recruit new people, just to maintain its stability, but..."
"But something went wrong." Yong Xin tried his best to remain calm. "There is no point in being surprised or regretful. He has done things that we cannot understand more than once during this period of time. It is obvious that he has mastered something that we do not know."
This was what made Yongxin most uneasy, far more uneasy than everything Jellal was doing now combined.
What kind of power did he get?
This allowed him, after ten years of confusion, to suddenly and accurately strike every one of their points in a very short period of time and block every one of their plans.
Unfortunately, the people sent to the Rhine have not returned yet.
But it should only be in the next one or two days.
Yongxin took a deep breath.
Before we get solid intelligence, we can't just wait and do nothing.
If everything Gerard had done before was still within Yongxin's acceptable range, the problems that occurred at the source oil processing plant this time were unacceptable to him.
Because now has come the final moment of the fight between the Lord and Tianqin, every bit of power brought by the source oil processing plant will make the Lord more powerful.
But now, it's gone.
Yong Xin would not have dreamed that the Skeleton Army could save anything from the burning processing plant. Since Gerard had already taken action, he must be aiming to wipe out the roots.
Seeing that Yongxin hadn't spoken for a long time, the subordinates were a little worried: "Master Yongxin?"
"I'm listening." Yong Xin said calmly, "It's ruined, so be it."
"Will that... affect the Lord's plan?"
“Speaking of influence, there will definitely be some, but it’s not much.” Yong Xin said, “The Lord’s power has long surpassed that of the old gods. His victory is inevitable.”
This is not a lie.
But Yongxin didn’t say the second half of the sentence.
If things develop normally, the new god will easily wipe out the old god.
But now there is an obstacle. Once the power of the new god is not further strengthened, the battle with the old god will not be so easy.
After all, the old gods are not waiting to die.
Not to mention they had moved up their schedule by a month.
There are too many destabilizing factors right now.
...We can't go on like this.
Yong Xin looked up at his subordinates and said, "We need to increase the sanctions on Gerald. Why haven't the Skeleton Army found him yet?"
Facing Yong Xin's question, the subordinate answered hesitantly, "Because the wanted order for him is only level one, there is really not much the Skeleton Force can do. After all, he was once a Knight of the Evening Star. If he really wants to hide, we can only post wanted orders and set up checkpoints. It is really difficult to find him. We must have a wanted order of level two or above."
Yongxin had guessed what his subordinate would say, so he nodded and said, "Bring the application here."
"yes!"
The subordinate immediately left the office, returned after a while, and placed the application in front of Yongxin.
Yongxin picked up the pen.
Logically speaking, given what Gerard had done, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to upgrade his wanted warrant to a level 2 "Elimination Regulations" or above.
But here’s the thing… there’s no evidence.
No one saw him for sure kill Bishop Holman, and no one saw him for sure set fire to the mill.
But logically speaking, the lack of evidence is nothing to Yongxin, who now has power over Holman. As long as he signs this application, he can immediately upgrade Gerard's wanted order to level two, or even erase the regulations. At that time, Gerard will have nowhere to escape.
Just sign it.
Just…sign it.
But when the pen tip was about to touch the paper, it paused again.
Just like last time, Yongxin couldn't let it go any further no matter what, as if this hand had lost his control.
After trying for a long time, Yongxin looked up at his subordinate and said calmly, "You step down first."
The subordinate was stunned: "Uh, Lord Yongxin, you haven't..."
"I told you to step back," Yongxin repeated.
The subordinate did not dare to say anything more and immediately left, closing the door when leaving.
Yongxin was the only one left in the office.
He looked quietly at his right hand holding the pen.
then,
With a "bang".
He slammed the pen on the table, and his expression gradually became ferocious and terrifying.
"It's been ten years. Why did you..."
"You just don't want to die?"
"Ian."
…
"puff".
Ina was pinned to the ground, with both her hands restrained.
Then Bai Wei sat on her back and announced with a smile that the battle was over.
"You know what, it's quite interesting." Bai Wei said with a smile, "It's the first time for me to use my body to beat my daughter... In fact, you can be more relaxed and don't be restrained because of the fear of hurting this body. You can rest assured that I care about this body more than you do now, and I will never let you hurt it."
Ina continued to struggle, her eyes full of anger: "Who are you? Why are you in my father's body?"
"Oh? Are you calling me father again now?" Bai Wei said slowly, "You two are quite interesting. If you weren't pushed to the extreme, Gerard would never tell me that he has a pair of children. And you, too, would never admit that you have such a father if you weren't pressed down by him. Tsk tsk tsk."
Ina gritted her teeth.
"I originally thought you were just an unfilial daughter who simply broke up with Jellal."
He lowered his head and looked at the uniform Ina was wearing and the flaming sword that was knocked aside, knowing that these were standard equipment of the devil's army.
"Most people think that you joined the Devil's Army to find solid evidence to convict Gerard, who could never be convicted, and to send him to death, and then to avenge your brother." Bai Wei said slowly, "But in fact, there has always been another possibility that no one has thought about. That is, you can also use this to find evidence to prove Gerard's innocence, right?"
Bai Wei felt his body stiffen under his buttocks.
"It seems that I guessed right." Bai Wei shrugged, "Because no matter which possibility it is, you need to break up with Gerald in order to join the Devil Corps and achieve this goal... What a cliché story."
Yina turned her head with great effort and stared at Bai Wei: "Who are you?"
"You don't need to care who I am." Bai Wei said calmly, "You just need to know the circumstances under which your father met me."
Bai Wei paused, and without waiting for Ina to ask a question, he slowly gave an answer.
"Death. Your father met me at the end of death."
Ina's body stiffened again.
"You know what? No matter what your original intention was, whether you wanted to prove Jellal's innocence or really regarded Jellal as the enemy who killed your brother, what you did only led to one result, which was me pushing him to the end of death." Bai Wei stretched out his hand, patted Ina's head, and then whispered in her ear, "Do you understand? Your father is dead."
"It was you who killed him."
"Killed him who was alone."
"Shut up!!"
Ina roared and immediately broke free from Bai Wei's restraints. She quickly picked up the blazing sword beside her and slashed it behind her.
But there was no one behind him.
She looked around and saw that extremely familiar figure gradually disappearing into the depths of the sea of fire.
"I haven't completely taken Gerald's life yet."
Bai Wei's voice came.
"But next time, it will be all."
Ina was about to chase after them, but more people rushed in.
"Skeleton Troops!"
"Put down your weapons!"
She could only stop her movements and watch as Jellal's back was engulfed by flames.
As if it had never existed.
