Excessive ferocity due to caution

White smoke continued to seep from Zhao Yi's chest.

But he remained silent.

After a long while, he said:

"Was the Sata incident also orchestrated by you?"

The smile on Chutby's lips was utterly mocking.

"Controlled with one hand?"

"To be precise, I only released a few hints to guide the discussion."

"If they weren't so ignorant, if they weren't so selfish, the drug supply in V City would be more than enough."

"Sata's daughter will not die, he will not seek revenge on V City, and you will have no chance to steal Godfall or even complete the final stage of Godfall research."

"This play didn't have a clear script to begin with; the script was all performed by the actors. I take half the responsibility for how things turned out this way, but only half the responsibility."

Zhao Yi also laughed.

"For someone like you, it doesn't matter who gets the God's Fall."

"All you want is revenge."

Chutebi:

"That's right."

"Now that you have completed the final research on Godfall, there is no need for me to continue making deals with Whiteman."

Zhao Yi:

"Where's your sister?"

Chutebi:

"He's dead."

"When?"

Many years ago.

"How did he die?"

"Knows too many military secrets."

Zhao Yi raised his eyes:

"So when you conveyed the sheepfold game to a high-ranking military official, he agreed, but didn't want to leave too many hidden dangers, so he executed your sister and spared you."

Chutby said calmly:

"certainly."

"The identity my sister gave me is a lifesaver."

"I will fulfill her last wish and help my father avenge his father."

"I'll never be able to love with all my might in this life, but I've hated with all my might, so it wasn't a wasted life."

Zhao Yi slowly said:

"Neither Butman nor anyone else in the military could have imagined that you were the mastermind behind it all."

"Even I didn't expect this at first."

"The reason is that you successfully misled them."

"Everyone thought that the person who started the sheepfold game must be an extremely powerful and influential player."

"They never imagined that he was just an avenger."

"But have you ever thought about...?"

Actually, I also gave you false information.

Qutbi paused slightly, then looked up at Zhao Yi.

The latter's calm tone was unsettling.

"I told you a long time ago that I have reasons for whatever I do or don't do."

"Now that the knife is in my hand, I must make a choice between protecting the good and destroying evil."

Chutby said:

What would you choose?

Zhao Yi:

"If it were before, I would have killed everyone in V City, including kind civilians."

"Their lives and deaths are of no importance to me. I'd rather destroy what I want to destroy than protect them."

"But then I went through a wooden door and suddenly realized that the methods of attack I had previously understood were almost completely harmless to the evil in human nature."

"It was like a god standing in the heavens, quietly watching me throw a tantrum on the ground."

"Perhaps I possess immense power; I could burn the heavens and boil the seas, split mountains and sever rivers..."

"But these behaviors are meaningless; their only purpose is to vent."

"It can't be hurt."

Zhao Yi's words plunged Chutby into a long silence.

"So now I've become hesitant, just like my deceased friend."

"I started to feel confused, and I started to look for answers."

Zhao Yi handed him a cigarette.

"I had a backup plan when I first suspected you, but now it seems my backup plan was a bit redundant... But it's not a bad thing to use it now."

"Now, I'm going to take full responsibility for all the consequences in V City."

"But I won't help you get revenge, and I certainly won't let you get revenge."

Chutby took the cigarette:

"So I have to die?"

Zhao Yi took out a lighter, lit his cigarette for him, and said:

"You're in my way."

Chutby took a deep breath, and a large amount of white smoke entered his lungs.

He felt inexplicably relieved and laughed.

"I don't know why..."

"All these years of hard work have gone down the drain. I lost everything at the last minute, but I feel a huge sense of relief."

"It seems like this is the right place for me."

Zhao Yi asked:

"If you don't seek revenge, what will you do?"

Under the light, Chutby's eyes gradually became unfocused:

"I don't know... I haven't thought about it."

"Maybe I'll become a farmer, or a painter."

"But I will never become a chef, because I've hated cooking since I was a child..."

Zhao Yi adjusted his collar.

I didn't continue listening to Chutby's rambling.

He walked out of the office.

At the end of the corridor, a woman dragging shackles walked towards this direction.

It is not difficult to tell from her remaining facial features that this woman is Wang Yan.

Zhao Yi, wearing a trench coat and with his hands in his pockets, brushed past her.

Neither of them looked at the other.

She walked numbly to the door of Chutby's office.

Then he pushed open the door.

At the same time, Zhao Yi also pushed open the door.

Outside the police station, the warm sunlight shone on Zhao Yi's face.

"You are my cause...and I am your effect."

he murmured.

...

"D Squad, deploy Blue Sunflower Incendiary Bombs!"

"The B-357 target is afraid of fire!"

"receive!"

In the chaotic city, one after another, the modified bodies of fallen gods appear.

The military, which had fired its cannons at the city, found itself in a fierce and desperate battle against the five Godfall modified beings.

However, different Godfall modified bodies exhibit different appearances, abilities, and strengths.

Generally speaking, the more elaborate the shackles on a person's body, the greater the restrictions they face.

Currently, the most terrifying modified being is a person with only a torture device on their head.

Unlike other numb modified humans who only know how to kill, this person seems to be consciously searching for something.

Currently, all three special operations teams sent by the military to search for this person have disappeared without a trace.

To this day, the military still hasn't figured out the mechanism by which he killed people.

Everyone felt very heavy-hearted.

Some high-ranking officials have even proposed sending out large numbers of the unstable Hyena Super Special Forces.

These drug-modified superhumans are extremely confused, especially when their bodies suffer severe trauma.

Due to their instability, the military has been reluctant to use them.

It's hard to control.

But the scene before them seemed to have completely spiraled out of control.

The parliament hall was eerily silent.

Watching the images coming from the battlefield, they felt a chill run down their spines.
