Chapter 244 Hymn Project

When Wu Chang took off Mok's button and stood up, Mok suddenly jumped up, grabbed the pen in his pocket, and stabbed Wu Chang's neck, shouting:
"Give up resistance!"

Wu Chang only felt an inaudible mental shock that hit his solid will, but it disappeared quietly without even a splash.

The mental shock is slightly stronger than Raymond's, but to a limited extent.

The mental attack failed, and relying solely on his physical strength, Mok couldn't even touch Wu Chang.

Wu Chang easily took a step back, avoiding Mok's pen thrust, tripped over the opponent, grabbed Mok's collar with his right hand, and lifted him up.

"Have you had enough trouble?"

Mok: ...

After such a mess, he was too embarrassed to continue struggling, so he resigned himself to his fate and said, "You win, let me go."

Wu Chang: "No, I feel more at ease this way."

He carried Mok back to the car, stuffed Mok into the passenger seat, and then drove back to where Booker and the others were fighting.

When we returned to the scene, the battle was not over yet.

Before meeting Booker and his two companions, the Black Greatsword Duo had been acting as Mok's bodyguards. Their strength was slightly stronger than the others.

In addition, because of the elemental weapons, the two of them are proficient in the art of combined attack. If they are hit by the two of them at the same time, even Booker and others will lose limbs.

The Armored Regiment was watching closely from the sidelines. In this situation, no one could withstand this level of injury.

Booker and his two main characters were timid for a moment, while the Greatsword duo fought desperately for performance, and the situation was at a stalemate for a while, especially as Booker's job transfer skill was about to end, the battle situation would only become increasingly unfavorable.

If we are held back by the two of them and Mok has to call for help, it would be a waste of time and effort.

The three of them looked at each other, with a hint of retreat in their eyes.

Just then, a car accelerated and came over, doing a big drift, and stopped next to the few people.

Wu Chang dragged Mo Ke out of the car, glanced at everyone, and said:

"Hey, you guys haven't finished fighting yet?"

"Moke?" Booker and the other two looked at Wu Chang, their eyes filled with surprise. Didn't Mok escape on an armed helicopter?

Among the three, only Veronica, who was the most sensitive to energy, felt energy fluctuations in the distance shooting towards the sky. She didn't expect that it was actually done by Wu Chang, and he succeeded!
Booker said excitedly: "It's good to catch them. These two guys are difficult to deal with. Let's leave first and don't get entangled by them."

Seeing Mok being captured, the greatsword duo ignored defense and rushed towards Wu Changji, eager to rescue Mok.

Wu Chang rubbed a bolt of lightning in his hand and threw it casually, electrocuting one of them.

Then he waved his hand and said, "Don't just stand there, get rid of him, we still have to go to the city hall."

Booker and the other two reacted for a moment, then rushed forward, using all kinds of abilities at once. It took them more than ten seconds to make the other greatsword user fall into a baby-like sleep.

In the car, Booker couldn't help but ask first: "Brother Wuming, how did you do that just now?"

Wu Chang raised the Electromagnetic Controller in his hand and said:

"The Essence Armor contains a special power that is extremely powerful in both offense and defense. But if you also use the Essence Armor, you can offset this energy."

Booker played with the original weapon he got from the heavy artillery man, wondering: "Why doesn't it have that effect when I use it?"

Wu Chang shrugged, "That must be your problem."

The car stopped in front of the city hall and a commotion began in the city. Realizing that Booker was coming for them, the city hall building was immediately emptied.

What a joke, how can they withstand the thugs that even Anthem Company couldn’t deal with?
In front of the empty City Hall building, only Raymond, who was wearing makeup, was guarding there. As soon as Wu Chang caught Mok, he notified the partner to go to the City Hall.

Raymond had sneaked into the second laboratory once and knew where the entrance to the laboratory was.

He led everyone to the freight elevator, opened the hidden elevator panel, swiped the panel with Mok's ID card, and then clicked on the fifth underground floor.

As the freight elevator descended, everyone walked through a corridor and entered the second laboratory of Anthem Company.

In the laboratory, Raymond did not rush to the mother nest, but first activated the laboratory's automatic defense system, putting the entire laboratory into a closed state.

Then he turned to Mok and said:

"Mr. Mok, no one is disturbing us now. I hope you can answer some questions."

Mok shook his head and said, "Raymond, stop pretending. I knew it must be you."

Raymond took off the artificial skin on his face and said noncommittally: "Do you really know?"

Mok said, "It is basically certain that I used mind control on you when we first met, but it didn't work, which means you also have similar abilities. The most likely method used by the Anthem Hunter who sneaked into the second laboratory and stole the disqualified monster conversion agent was hypnosis or mind control."

Raymond asked curiously, "Since you already have some guesses in your mind, why did you come out? Aren't you afraid that I can track your location based on the phone calls we had?"

Mok sighed and said, "You are tracking me. I am also tracking you. It's just that we are one step behind."

"As for why I came out, you know it better than me."

Raymond frowned and looked at Wu Chang in confusion. Wu Chang shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.

Raymond asked, "What do you mean?"

Mok was a little confused by Raymond's question. Seeing that Raymond's expression did not seem fake, he asked in confusion:
"Just yesterday, a powerful hacker sneaked into the Anthem Building, hacked into the company's server, tampered with a level nine clearance, and used the clearance to steal a large amount of confidential information. If he commits a crime again, only my level nine and a half clearance can suppress him and force him into the laboratory, making it impossible for him to escape."

"You guys didn't do that?"

Raymond raised his head, Wu Chang and others shook their heads, and Colton said, "The firewall of Anthem Company uses a special encryption method. I have tried many times, but I can't even find a loophole. It should be done by the group of people who are chasing us."

Mok understood at this time that these guys with extraordinary powers seemed to be two groups.

The people who kidnapped him were not the same people who hacked into Anthem.

Raymond laughed after hearing this. "We have to thank them. If it weren't for their actions, it would not be easy for us to lure you out."

Mok sat in a chair with a gloomy face.

He originally thought that there was a mysterious hacker among Raymond's gang. The other party had already known what happened in Sid Town that year by hacking into the server, and knew that he was the culprit of the Sid tragedy.

So he decided to get involved, deliberately exposing his location and telling Raymond that he was out.

In order to take revenge, Raymond will definitely enter the second laboratory again and use the method of entering the mother nest to force him to show up.

At that time, he would use his level nine and a half authority, second only to Schultz, to lock Raymond in the second laboratory, and then deal with them through the mother nest.

Including sending out the gold medal employees to fight Booker and others, it was also thought that Raymond was timid and had to distract the gold medal employees enough before he dared to take action against the second laboratory.

So Mok took advantage of the situation and planned to let Raymond know that the top employees around him had been entangled and it was time to sneak into the second laboratory.

What he didn't expect was that the gold medal employee equipped with the original weapons would be taken down "bare-handedly" by Booker and his men who were not equipped with the original weapons.

When he realized something was wrong and was about to leave, he ran into Wu Chang again, which led to the scene of being caught.

Raymond didn't want to waste time and asked:
"Mr. Mok, what exactly does the Hymn Project mean?" Mok sneered, "Did Farrell tell you?"

Raymond said nothing.

Mok said: "Do you think I will tell you that your hypnosis doesn't work on me? Don't waste your energy. If you want revenge, just do it directly."

Raymond used his hypnotic ability, and just as Mok's mind control couldn't work on him, his ability also couldn't affect Mok.

Just when Raymond was at a loss, Wu Chang said, "Maybe I can give it a try."

He took off the electromagnetic controller, activated the mind resonance, and sent a mental shock to Mok.

Psychics cannot influence each other because their mental abilities are not strong enough. At this moment, Wu Chang easily penetrated Mok's will barrier with his 162 points of inspiration-driven mental shock. If he wanted to, he could even directly destroy Mok's will and turn him into an idiot.

After penetrating the barrier of will, Mok was instantly controlled by Wu Chang, who said, "From now on, you will not be able to tell lies, nor remain silent. You must answer all our questions formally and completely."

“I ask again, what is the Hymn Project.”

Mok's face showed signs of struggle, but it didn't take long before he was completely controlled. He said with a dull look in his eyes:
"Project Hymn is a demonstration of capabilities. Its purpose is to demonstrate the power of finished Primetals weapons, thereby gaining investment from around the world and rapidly developing the second generation of Primetals weapons."

Wu Chang said: "Please give more details."

Mork seemed to have given up resistance and revealed the hymn plan in its entirety.

The starting point of the Anthem Project was the Disqualified Monsters and Plasma Armor. As Schultz developed these two technologies, he and the top executives of Anthem Corporation discovered that Plasma Armor combined with psychic stimulation surgery could trigger the extraordinary powers that already existed in the human body.

This power breaks through the human body and can accomplish many things that only gods in mythology can accomplish. In other words, mastering this power can allow humans to become gods themselves.

But the problem is that the special abilities that can be triggered by the current Elemental Armaments are too weak. Although individual soldiers are powerful, their impact and destructive power on the outside world are far less than those of disqualified monsters.

In a sense, disqualified monsters are more like the form of gods.

If the controllability of the Elemental Weapon and the Disqualified Field of the Disqualified Monster are combined, wouldn't it be possible to become a true God?

But problems followed. Researching the primordial weapons and disqualified monsters had consumed all of Anthem Company's energy. If they wanted to conduct further research, they had to expand and must get support from the outside world.

They need the support of the whole world, or at least the whole federation.

If we want to gain support from the outside world, we must demonstrate enough potential to let the whole world see that the original weapon technology is the future of mankind.

Thus, the Hymn Project was born.

Hymns originally referred to songs written to praise God, but the hymns in the Hymn Company are about humans becoming gods.

On the road to success, sacrifice is necessary.

The Hymn Project is similar to the Sid Massacre that once promoted psychic weapons, except that this time the incident took place in a small town instead of the second largest city in the Federation, Wildo.

In other words, it was precisely in order to destroy the city of Wildo that Wildo was able to receive continuous investment from an unknown small city and become the second largest city.

Since ancient times, people have pursued eternal life after acquiring great wealth and power.

Schultz and several Level 9 partners, through lobbying around the world, convinced a small group of wealthy people at the top of human society to believe that the original weapon can turn people into gods.

Invest in the Hymn Project and become one of the first human gods.

Moretz, Cohen and Caven are all major shareholders, while the residents of Orens Manor and many companies on Second Street are mostly small shareholders.

They run the city of Wildo in order to obtain first-hand information about the plan and witness with their own eyes the power of the Elemental Weapons and the destruction of the city of Wildo.

Supporting the Hymn Project is, to some extent, second only to visiting Lolita Island. It is all about the wealthy people abandoning all morals as human beings for their own desires.

Since joining the Hymn Project, they no longer care about wealth, fame and other things, they only want to see the power of the Prakriti Armor.

The top wealthy people in Wildo City are all participants in the Hymn Project, and they know clearly that the disqualified monsters come from the Hymn Company.

Even after each disqualified monster wreaks havoc in the city, they can obtain first-hand video footage and data analysis, and see that with each attack, the Elemental Weaponry is constantly improving.

However, video recording and data analysis are all indirect intelligence. In order to ensure the safety of shareholders, they rarely participate in them personally.

Because of this, after seeing the horror of the disqualified monster, Moretz and others were not angry at the destruction of the villa, but applauded excitedly instead.

The previous managers were too timid and avoided working in wealthy areas.

Observe the disqualified monsters up close and experience how the disqualified monsters can easily destroy an army. Then see the gold medal employees equipped with original weapons up close and easily kill the disqualified monsters.

What does this mean?
This means that possessing primordial weapons is indeed the first step to transcending ordinary people, and it means that their hope of becoming gods is becoming more and more real!
How could this not move them?

As for the large number of subsequent orders, they were not needed by Moretz and others. They just took advantage of Sean's status and took the opportunity to build relationships and increase investment.

The attack by the disqualified monsters on Second Street is the same as what happened at Orens Manor.

Whether it was the disqualified monsters that had been wandering around the city of Wildo, or the gluttonous ants and stress mushrooms, they were just appetizers for the Hymn Project.

If you want to attract the world's attention and gain the world's support, you must cause a disaster that is enough to endanger the whole world.

An ordinary, disqualified monster is naturally not capable of such an important task.

Therefore, the real villain in the Anthem Project is the Mother Nest stored deep in the Second Laboratory!

When Project Hymn begins, the Brood will break out of the ground and attack the entire city of Wildo.

After the mother nest fully demonstrates its power and makes the whole world tremble, Anthem Company will activate their strongest original weapons to destroy the mother nest.

By then, the terrifying pressure from the mother nest of disqualified monsters and the possibilities that the original weapons bring to mankind will naturally gain support from the whole world.

After listening to Mok's description, Raymond's face looked very ugly. Wu Chang sighed and said:

"This plan wasn't proposed by you, was it?"

Mok nodded and said, "Indeed, it was me who proposed it."

Wu Chang shook his head. He just knew that the Hymn Project, with its fancy name, was actually just a larger-scale copy of the Sid Massacre.

This is how Anthem Corporation got rich and energy weapons became well-known, and now they are using the same old trick again.

What Mok said made sense, and since he was under control at the moment, he obviously couldn't lie.

But Wu Chang always felt that things were not that simple. Mok was simple-minded and used one trick over and over again. His method was indeed simple and crude, and shocking enough, but times have changed. Anthem Company is in its heyday. With Schultz's style, there are ten thousand plans to promote the original weapon. Why choose this one?

Wu Chang had a hunch that the hymn plan might not be that simple.

But no matter what the essence of the Hymn Project is, solving the problem of the mother nest is the top priority.

If what Mok said is true, once the Anthem Project begins, the mother nest will attack the city of Wildo, and their main mission three will definitely not be completed.

The mother nest would not be like them, destroying only important facilities with few people.

Fortunately, according to Mok, the countdown that Wu Chang saw was the countdown of the Hymn Project.

The time is not right yet and the mother nest has not yet matured to its optimal state. It is a good time to get rid of it in advance.
