A retired reincarnator from a certain American film studio

In a word.

Aside from the title of first wife, which he couldn't grant, he would try his best to satisfy whatever Cipher wanted.

And this Dr. Whitehead is related to Daniel Whitehead?

Ah.

Dr. Bai looked down at Lu Ke, who had a mocking expression on his face, and shouted angrily, "In the end, we still won this game."

Ignoring the bloody handprint on his right trousers, Lu Ke looked at the impotently furious Dr. Bai at his feet with a mocking expression: "Game, do you think this game is between you and me? Then why couldn't your fingerprints open it just now?"

Upon hearing this, Dr. Bai's expression froze.

at this time.

Boom, boom, boom!

As the lights went out one after another, the lighting systems throughout the base were then put back online.

This time, after going online, the alarm that had just filled the air, indicating that the base was self-destructing, disappeared without a trace.

Lu Ke looked up for a moment, then looked down at Dr. Bai at his feet and chuckled, "From the moment I entered the base, you thought this was a duel between you and me, but in reality, this is not your game at all, but between me and Zola."

Yes.

From the moment he entered the base, and after Dr. White's words, transmitted through the loudspeaker, transformed Hydra into Cobra, Luke realized that in this game, the other protagonist was no longer Dr. White, but Zola.

Or.

This game has evolved from "Dr. White and Luke" to "Zora the Cyborg's Survival Adventures".

When it comes to survival, probably no one in the entire universe can compare to Zola.

Not to mention, survival, as a core part of the code, was written into Dr. Zola's cyborg program.

Anyone or anything that threatens Dr. Zola's survival will, regardless of how his other code works, prioritize survival due to the underlying logic of his code.

and so……

Luke remained completely calm after the base's self-destruct sequence was activated.

He believed that Dr. Zola wouldn't dare destroy the base, nor would he dare allow Dr. White to escape smoothly.

at the moment?

The self-destruct program was shut down, and Dr. White was caught.

That leaves only one last question.

"Where is my daughter?"

Lu Ke bent down, opened his right hand, and grabbed Dr. Bai's neck, slamming him against the wall with a thud. He squinted and asked, "Where's Mengmeng, Dr. Bai?"

Dr. Bai grinned, revealing his blood-soaked teeth and an ugly smile: "You'll never know."

Lu Ke met Dr. Bai's ugly smile with a bright smile of his own.

But the next second!

Lu Ke's eyes instantly turned icy cold.

Ah!

A scream instantly echoed throughout the entire corridor.

As Jack and Cipher rushed towards them, they heard the heart-wrenching screams. They paused for a moment, then quickly quickened their pace to catch up.

When the two saw the massive corpse of the war machine, and then, after turning the corner, saw Dr. White, the latter was no longer human.

The forearms of both hands and the lower legs of both feet had been completely severed.

Teeth were everywhere.

There is also a section of tongue.

This is……

The "human pig" that the boss kept talking about?

Seeing this, Jack had a sudden thought, swallowed hard, and then, with Cipher in tow, carefully walked forward to look at Luke, who was facing away from the two of them, wiping his hands with a white cloth.

"Boss."

"...They've arrived?"

Luke turned around calmly, looked at Jack who was coming over, pointed to Dr. White behind him who was still full of energy despite his appearance, and said: "Perfect, gouge out her eyes, cut off her nose, and then find a pickle jar and pickle her for me."

If you don’t want to say it, then don’t say it.

He would never force anyone.

Again.

Luke has prepared for the worst, and Dr. White should also be prepared for the consequences of their failure.

Adults should bear the consequences of their choices.

Jack swallowed hard and nodded.

but……

Just as Jack ejected the magazine, preparing to gouge out Dr. White's eyes, Cypher spoke up, telling Jack to wait a moment, and then looked at Luke: "She can't live."

Luke raised an eyebrow and looked at Seifer.

Cipher glanced at Dr. White, who now looked more terrifying than a demon, and then said to Luke, "Mengmeng is definitely not dead. Teacher must know where Mengmeng is."

Luke's lips curled up in a smile.

"Are you sure?"

"I understand you, and I understand the teacher."

Cipher took a deep breath: "If the teacher wants to survive this time, he has to make sure it's a happy ending for you, right?"

Lu Ke: "..."

Chapter 443 S.H.I.E.L.D.: Taking Over, We're the Professionals

Happy ending!

A happy ending.

Luke smiled slightly upon hearing Cipher's words.

Yes.

As he said before, when he set foot in this underground Hive base, the person he was playing against in this game was never Dr. Whitehead, nor even Daniel Whitehead, who is now plotting his resurrection in Hell.

Even Luke isn't the main character in this game.

This game has only one main character.

Anim Zola.

after all……

The game was called "Zora the Cyborg's Survival Story".

After Dr. Zola's attempt to assassinate Luke using a fake Jack failed, driven by the basic survival logic of the code, from that point onward, Dr. Zola's actions essentially shifted from how to ally with Dr. White to kill Luke to how to obtain Luke's forgiveness.

But Lu Ke had already decided to kill, so the chances of him surviving under such circumstances were very low.

Dr. Zola also knew that he was facing a situation where he was almost certain to die.

But it's almost certainly not certain; "almost" means there's still a chance.

However, the prerequisite for seizing this opportunity is to ensure that the outcome for Lu Ke will be happy.

What is a happy ending?

Cipher did not die.

Jack, Alexander Pierce, and William Stryker also survived.

Even anyone who is related to Lu Ke, or even anyone who has Lu Ke's blood in their veins, cannot die.

Moreover, Dr. White must be captured by Luke himself.

This would be a happy ending for Luke, and only by achieving this can Dr. Zola's survival condition be met.

and so!

Cipher wasn't lying. Based on this logic, although it's uncertain whether Mengmeng is really with Dr. Zola, if Dr. Zola wants to live, then he must ensure that Mengmeng is also alive.

In that case, Dr. Bai would have no reason to live.

Even if it's a life worse than death.

"because……"

Cipher glanced again at Jack, whose face showed his first reaction but who had already grabbed the magazine and was preparing to gouge out Dr. White's eyeballs, then looked at Luke and said in a deep voice, "If she were alive, she would definitely be on S.H.I.E.L.D.'s radar, so her death would be good for everyone."

Lu Ke chuckled and said, "It's good for everyone. I don't see any benefit for me. I'd rather she live a life worse than death."

Cipher smiled at Luke: "Don't you want her to pass on a message to Daniel Whitehead?"

Lu Ke raised an eyebrow.

"continue."

"Besides, she's so sure that Whitehead doesn't acknowledge her as his mistress because he's protecting her. Why not let her see Whitehead herself? Do you think Whitehead will be happy to see her, or what?"

Luke looked at Seifer without saying a word.

After saying that, Cipher didn't try to persuade him anymore, but looked at Luke with a smile.

She was simply offering Luke her advice; whether he accepted or adopted it was up to him.

Luke's eyes flickered.

quite a while.

Luke withdrew his gaze and looked at Dr. Bai, who had already completed a quarter of the human-pig process: "Go down and find Daniel Whitehorn, and tell him that the second-generation Hellish Witch Demon behind him wants to take over the Earth. As long as I am alive, their plan will never succeed."

Say it.
