I write obituaries for the gods

"Boom! Boom boom!"

One by one, the researchers who had drawn their guns were taken down. The agents of the Second Armed Division also reacted and began aiming their guns at the researchers.

"Da da da da da—"

Lin Chen jumped down from the second floor, landed on the ground, raised his shotgun, and calmly walked towards the cover in the hall.

Whenever a researcher showed up, he would pull the trigger and accurately take them down.

Finally, after Lin Chen emptied two magazines, there were only a few people left in the entire hall.

Most of the researchers resisted to the very end with incredible loyalty, while only a few clerks huddled in a corner with their hands raised, tear gas making them sob, but the hatred in their eyes cut deep into the group like a knife.

"call..."

Lin Chen exhaled deeply. The enhancement from Qingtian rendered tear gas ineffective against him, making his figure standing in the smoke even more formidable.

He turned his head and looked at the central control console in the command hall, where he saw a figure in a white coat standing with his back to him.

“Hey you over there, hands up,” Lin Chen raised his shotgun and slowly approached. “Tell us how to turn off the W weapon, and you might stay alive.”

The figure in the white coat looked up and gazed at the progress bar on the giant screen.

At this point, the progress bar has reached 77%.

“It’s too late,” he murmured. “You’ve come too late.”

The man slowly raised his hands, turned around, and faced Lin Chen.

When Lin Chen saw the man's face clearly, his pupils contracted sharply—

Standing before him was none other than Professor Jürgen!

Jürgen Eisenberg!

He raised his hands, facing Lin Chen. His once meticulously combed gray hair had now turned into curly hair, giving him a Frankenstein-like mad scientist vibe.

Jürgen looked at Lin Chen, a faint, elegant smile curving his lips.

"Didn't expect that?" he said softly. "It's not a pleasant feeling to be deceived. I know that feeling. Trust me."

"Professor Jürgen, you..."

Lin Chen's hand holding the gun trembled slightly, and his mind went blank.

He witnessed Jürgen's vehicle explode right in front of him.

But now Jürgen was standing right in front of him, acting like the mastermind behind it all, surrounded by tear gas smoke, yet he acted as if nothing had happened.

He's not afraid of tear gas...?

Lin Chen suddenly realized something.

Before he could issue a warning, Wang Pan, gripping the gun in one hand and the handcuffs in the other, rushed forward:

"Don't move! Jürgen! Give me your hand—"

Everything happened so suddenly that Lin Chen could only act on instinct.

He heard Li Zhanyi shouting, and almost simultaneously, Jürgen blindfolded himself.

The next second, a silver light tore through Wang Pan's outline, and his right arm flew out in a spinning motion!

The officers of the Second Division raised their guns, but before they could pull the trigger, streaks of silver light tore through space like dragons, precisely piercing their necks.

"Cough cough...click..."

"what..."

Within seconds, all the officers of the Second Armed Division in the hall were wiped out.

Lin Chen raised his gun and fired continuously at Jürgen. Every time he fired a shot, a triangular door would open, diverting his bullets to another location.

After he fired five shots, Jürgen raised a finger and said calmly:

"enough."

The next second, a triangular door opened in front of Lin Chen, and on the other side of the door was Li Zhanyi, who was located on the second floor of the hall.

Meanwhile, Jürgen had somehow appeared behind Li Zhanyi, one hand covering his eyes and the other holding a gun to the back of Li Zhanyi's head.

"..."

Lin Chen pulled back the trigger, raised his gun, and aimed it at Jürgen's faintly smiling face, his hand trembling slightly.

In an instant, countless fragments pieced together to form the truth.

“You are Euclid,” Lin Chen murmured softly.

"I told you, you'd better get away immediately."

Jürgen smiled with great composure, gently wiped the blood from his nose, and flicked it gracefully.

"Hua Molan would rather overwork herself to save you, otherwise you would still be lying in the intensive care unit, and there would be no need for you to know too much. It's such a pity."

"The foundation building! That's where tens of thousands of lives are saved!" Lin Chen shouted. "Why!"

He was on the verge of a breakdown: was this ruthless and insane demigod really the gentle and refined old professor he knew?

Despite the disbelief in Lin Chen's eyes, Jürgen remained calm.

He looked at Lin Chen for a long while before speaking softly:

“WHALE requires emotional buildup, and fear is the fastest-spreading emotion.”

"That's all."

......

Chapter 145 The Sun (Fourth and Fifth Updates)

That's it.

When Jürgen calmly uttered those words, Lin Chen felt as if something inside his heart had shattered.

"It's always been you..." Lin Chen murmured softly, "You've been secretly guiding the Investigation Bureau..."

"After all, we share the same goal."

Jürgen drew a circle in the air with his wrist, leaned slightly forward, and bowed.

"After the Iron Horn Bridge incident, the hawks shut down the Whale Nest experiment and planned to package the data directly according to this state."

"But I haven't achieved my goal yet, so I can't let them have the final say in everything."

"Perfect timing, since you're investigating the Iron Cape Bridge incident right now, why not help each other out?"

Looking at Jürgen, Lin Chen felt as if a series of past events were suddenly connected.

"You gave us the spiritual pressure bomb before the school incident because you knew what was in those ruins..."

"You've seen the files on the United Concrete Bunker... because that bunker was dragged into the warp under your orders!"

Seeing the anger in Lin Chen's eyes, Jürgen shrugged helplessly.

"When problems arise, we need to clean them up properly. I'm quite responsible in that regard."

"But even after all that, I still couldn't cover for those idiots in the hawks... Don't you think they're short-sighted? Just to capitalize on the star-making effect, they brought out Captain England, this 18th-rate trash, to make a show of things. Even after I had already stepped in to save him once, they still managed to assassinate him in Walduff without my knowledge, and then personally handed Captain England over to the 'ghost of history'."

"They really hate me...you know, my eldest brother even locked the 'Utopia' database, keeping me out, just to stop me from continuing my experiments..."

"So you assisted us in the operation to destroy the country..." Lin Chen said softly.

"That's right! This is exactly when your investment will come in handy!"

Jürgen spread his hands out generously.

"The improved 'Orca' is enough to conquer the ideal country, and the Deep-Sea Division I was personally armed... I ordered that idiot Bai Duozhi to stay there and wait to die. He can't resist me, and he doesn't have the qualifications to defeat you. After all, he's just a crippled product."

"It's a pity that we're going to hand over such an interesting subspace ecological experiment like Ideal Country to you."

"But it doesn't matter, you all helped me retrieve the experimental data from the Ideal Country, which is the most important thing—it's the key to the second tearing experiment."

Jürgen laughed again. His laughter seemed just like before, but his deep blue eyes looked so unfamiliar.

"You helped me suppress the hawks, which allowed me to seize power in the Yudu Foundation and restart Whale Nest."

Even so, my elder brother was doing everything he could to stop me from starting the second experiment, because he didn't want anything to go wrong.

“Now it’s different: you’re here! If you don’t let me start the experiment, my eldest brother can only watch helplessly as you destroy the whale nest. He’s not happy about that, so he’ll be forced to compromise…”

Lin Chen recalled the day of Operation Achilles' Heel, when Louis complained to him that the coordinates of the whale nest were "too easy to obtain".

"It was you who placed the unencrypted coordinates at the Xiwang District headquarters..." Lin Chen said softly.

"To be precise, it wasn't me, it was Mr. Z."

Jürgen shrugged.

"I had someone whisper a few words in Mr. Z's ear, and he put the coordinates of the whale nest in a place that even a three-year-old could find. How stupid..."

"He probably still thinks he's using one tiger to devour another, right? He's probably feeling quite smug about it now."

Jürgen sighed softly, a hint of helplessness in his eyes.

"Don't expect the 'Orca' to destroy W's weapon array. I tuned that thing. Even with its main gun at full power, it was just a hair's breadth away from penetrating W's shield."

"Now, it's time for the opening ceremony."

The professor raised one arm and snapped his fingers:

"Snapped!"

"Rumble..."

As the progress bar on the big screen filled up, the entire whale nest began to shake violently!

Lin Chen looked up at the dome: the deep black seawater suddenly disappeared, replaced by a grayish-white light—subspace travel!

A few seconds later, accompanied by a burst of silver lightning, black thunderclouds filled the dome.

The whale nest has risen to the surface!

At the same time, the W weapon array in the center of the hall began to operate, with gray-white arcs of electricity flowing through its outline, constantly outlining its complex shape.

"Boom!"

A clap of thunder flashed, illuminating Jürgen's face in the hall, making it appear half black and half white.

“Listen, child,” Jürgen said in a low voice, “I can give you one chance. Take Zhanyi and leave this place, and never get involved in these things again.”

"Go back and take Liti and Huihui with you, and get away from Rain City. Never come back again."

Lin Chen looked at Jürgen. This time, he seemed to detect a familiar light in those deep blue eyes, as if the familiar professor was standing behind the deep blue eyes, looking at him.

But Lin Chen just shook his head sadly:

“If the Iron Cape Bridge incident hadn’t happened, I would never have been involved in these things in my life.”

“Experiments always make mistakes,” Jürgen said calmly. “Only by learning from one mistake can we avoid making the next one.”

“Professor, those are tens of thousands of lives!” Lin Chen murmured. “What kind of experiment is worth sacrificing those innocent lives? Does Litty know you are such a cruel madman?”

"Don't talk to Tilit!" Jürgen suddenly shouted.

The deep blue in his eyes intensified, the light almost burning like flames in his eyes that had long been worn smooth by the world.

"Does anyone care about Litty's life?!" he shouted. "You saw the true colors of those elites at the fundraising ceremony! If the experiment had started earlier, if the inhibitor had been iterated a couple more times, Litty wouldn't have been in such danger in the classroom!"

"They only care about whether their money will come back! Do they even care about Litty? They pretend to be moved by me, but all they want is my power! They don't care about Litty!"

"Those brats bullied her! They called her a monster! That teacher treated her like a burden! They couldn't wait for her to get out of school!"

"Liti has been abandoned by this world! Why is she an abandoned child? Just because she has feathers, these good-for-nothings who have spent their whole lives crawling on the ground and currying favor with others treat her as an outsider?"

After shouting all that, Jürgen's expression froze for a moment, then instantly became extremely calm.

"But it doesn't matter anymore, they're already dead."

He gently pushed up his glasses, and the deep blue in his eyes gradually calmed down.

"The W weapon is ready. Soon, I will open a passage to the depths of the warp."

"I will save Litty."

The moment Jürgen finished speaking, Lin Chen suddenly recalled what Jiang Zhengge had said to him in the car after the operation to destroy the country:

"...As for Little Litty's insomnia, isn't it said that something deep within the subspace resonates with her? Professor Jürgen has been trying to locate the source of that resonance and cure Little Litty's illness at its root..."
