Chapter 52 I don't seem lonely anymore

Outside the Dongdu Research Institute, the wind was slightly chilly, blowing through the dilapidated buildings not far away that had been affected by the battle.

Xue Qian strode away with Pandora's Box in his hand.

Just as he took a few steps, a voice came from behind him: "You are Mr. Katsuragi!"

Xue Qian paused and slowly turned around. A researcher was standing outside the gate of the institute, looking straight at him with a hint of excitement and confidence in his expression.

"what?"

When Zhantu, who had rushed over, heard these words, his face was filled with shock.

As for Onoue Takumi, he didn't say anything and just watched the people confronting each other quietly.

Xue Qian did not respond, but just stood there, neither admitting nor denying.

Researcher Kawai, however, did not flinch. He shook his head confidently and continued, "Mr. Katsuragi, he won't die easily."

"He is dead."

Xue Qian did not lie, his tone was cold, as if he was stating an irrefutable fact.

"But why do you think he's not dead?"

It was as if Xue Qian's tone was that he wanted to hear some interesting answers from the other person.

"The nebula gas contains a technology that can change one's appearance."

After receiving this answer, Xue Qian was stunned for a moment, and suddenly let out a strange laugh.

He walked slowly towards Kawai, each step seemed exceptionally steady, yet carried a suffocating sense of oppression.

"Is it like this?"

The researcher in front of him said something that shouldn't have been said. Xue Qian looked a little chilly, and the nebula gas around him surged out.

Kawai's appearance was instantly transformed. His original face was completely replaced by an unfamiliar one, as if by magic, yet with a disturbing strangeness.

Kawai fell unconscious, and it was obvious that the nebula gas was corroding him in various ways.
Just as Xue Qian raised his hand, he suddenly stopped. He frowned, a strange look flashing in his eyes. His hand remained in mid-air, but he didn't drop it.

“Something’s wrong”

My emotions were a little strange. The urge to kill was suppressed at this moment.

This subtle emotional fluctuation caused Xue Qian to fall into a brief state of unconsciousness.

As for Zhantu, he obviously couldn't control the doubts in his heart and asked Xueqian a barrage of questions frantically.

"Mr. Katsuragi, why did you pretend to be murdered?"

Sento, who was certain that the one who had the blood hidden was Katsuragi Takumi, had anger and confusion in his voice, and clenched his fists, as if he would rush up to demand more answers at any moment.

"Why did you design a trap against Long I? Why did you inject me with nebula gas? Wasn't the Knight System created for defense?"

"Also, didn't you see how hard Mrs. Katsuragi tried to be strong?"

His tone gradually became more intense, and his questioning was filled with disappointment and pain that was difficult to conceal.

"Have you lost your faith as a scientist?"

Standing there, Xueqian listened to Zhantu's questioning, was silent for a moment, and then chuckled. This chuckle was low and cold, as if carrying an indescribable irony.

"Stop being so self-righteous."

"The chivalry system was designed for military purposes from the very beginning. No matter how you whitewash its purpose, its ultimate fate is nothing but bloodshed among nations."

"Aren't you doing this for the future of mankind?"

Battle Rabbit's voice lowered a little, but the disappointment and anger in it became more and more obvious. As Xue Qian listened to these words, a strange emotion surged in his heart.

Looking at Zhan Tu, he actually felt a hint of mockery at the heroic image that he seemed to be born to protect.

He's just a fictional hero I created, why are you so self-righteous?

As this thought came to mind, Xue Qian's heart suddenly shook.

Something is wrong.
The vampire prince suddenly realized that such mockery and disdain should not appear on him.

He is the embodiment of rationality and coldness, and all emotions have been suppressed without a trace.

There shouldn't be any emotional fluctuations, and there shouldn't be such a contradictory psychological reaction to the battle rabbit.

He frowned, feeling a little uneasy.

What is the source of this emotion?
Battle Rabbit, however, was completely unaware of Xue Qian's abnormality. He remained standing there, his eyes blazing with fire. "Mr. Katsuragi, I once believed you were a scientist truly dedicated to the future of humanity. Now, are you truly willing to become a tool for the purpose of killing?"

"The end of science is destruction."

Xue Qian forced himself to suppress the discomfort in his heart, turned around and strode away, leaving behind a cold remark: "Ideals are meant to be realized, not pursued hypocritically."

Looking at the increasingly agitated Battle Rabbit, Ooue Takumi slowly reached out and gently patted his shoulder.

Although this action was light, it had a silent soothing power, which made Zhantu feel much more stable.

"Aqiao."

Onoue Takumi stared at him, his tone calm but firm: "You respect Katsuragi Takumi very much, right? You even think that he, the creator of the Knight System, shouldn't be like this, right?"

"I can't believe he would say that."

Upon hearing this, Onoue Takumi patted Zhantu again, with a force that was neither light nor heavy, but it seemed as if he conveyed strength through this touch.

"So, you must firmly believe that Katsuragi Takumi is not such a person. He may not be Katsuragi Takumi at all."

"Also, don't let down Mother Katsuragi's expectations of us. She has always believed that you are the one who can protect everything and change everything. No matter what, you must believe in yourself."

These words were like a ray of warm light, piercing through the haze deep in Zhantu's heart.

Mentioning Katsuragi's mother, Battle Rabbit's eyes gradually became clear, and his originally heavy expression also eased with Onoue Takumi's words: "You are right, I can't let her expectations go unfulfilled."

Long Wo, who was watching the two of them having such a deep conversation, could hardly get a word in. Finally, he couldn't help but complain, "You two are so corny when you talk."

Onoue Takumi looked at Ryuga, with a hint of teasing in his tone: "No matter how corny it is, it can't compare to the way you hugged me and cried."

"Hey, hey! Stop talking nonsense!"

Long Wo's face flushed immediately, and he waved his hands repeatedly, muttering, "It was an accident, an accident! If you don't mention it, no one will remember it!"

Zhantu looked at the two people in front of him bickering with each other and couldn't help but smile.

His eyes swept back and forth between Ooue Takumi and Ryuga with a warm feeling.

He took a step forward, stretched out his arms, and unceremoniously hooked each of their shoulders.

"Okay, stop making trouble."

Smiling happily, Zhantu exerted a little force, as if to pull the two people closer to him.

At this moment, Zhantu felt that he was no longer alone.
The two of them were directly hooked together by Zhantu!
“It’s a bit crowded!”

"Yeah, what are three men doing so close to each other?"

"Okay, let's go back and research Aqiao's new energy bottle!"
