I write obituaries for the gods

Lin Chen nodded, walked to the distraught Wu Hao's side, and projected a pair of handcuffs onto his mind.

"Senior, please cooperate," he said.

Wu Hao raised his head, looking at Lin Chen with blank eyes.

“You’ll be used as a scapegoat too,” Wu Hao murmured, “just like those brothers on that ship… They died, and because the Bureau of Investigation wanted to avoid causing panic, they don’t even have a damn tombstone…”

"Your section chief has become a lackey of the Investigation Bureau. To protect RBAI, he will not hesitate to sacrifice everything..."

Seeing Wu Hao's pained expression, Lin Chen fell silent.

He thought for a moment, then spoke softly:

"I trust Section Chief Jiang."

Because initially, Jiang Zhengge also unconditionally believed in Lin Chen.

"Hehe, hahahaha..."

Wu Hao laughed, but his laughter was somewhat pathetic.

"Then protect your girl well..." He glanced at Li Zhanyi, who was evacuating hostages not far away, "My girl... has been killed by him and his demigod lover!"

Lin Chen didn't waste any more words with him. He grabbed his hand, handcuffed him tightly, and then dragged him to the hostage line.

Led by Jiang Zhengge, the elevators carried people up in batches.

By the time the third batch was delivered, only Lin Chen and a few hostages remained.

"Let's go in."

After the hostages entered, Lin Chen was about to follow when an alarm sounded:

"Drip! Drip!"

The iron gate slammed shut once more, and at the same time, Louis's voice came through Lin Chen's earpiece:

"External signal intrusion, be careful..."

"Lab self-destruct program activated..."

"Zizzizi..."

The signal was lost, and footsteps came from behind Lin Chen.

He turned his head and saw a "Black Skull" wearing black bulletproof armor and a skull mask approaching.

Clearly, he had been waiting here, and finally waited until Lin Chen was alone.

"Take the elevator up," Lin Chen said, turning to the hostage behind the iron bars. "I'll handle things here."

He turned around, took the superalloy axe hanging from his waist, and walked towards the "Black Skull".

“My elder brother said you are a threat,” Black Skull’s voice was muffled through his mask, “He asked me to deliver a message to you.”

Eldest brother... a big shot...

"What does he want to say?" Lin Chen asked calmly.

"You killed Optimus Prime and Captain England, his two favorite toys in Rain City."

When the black skull spoke, Lin Chen felt like he almost lost his composure.

He said, "You will pay for them with your life."

"Alright..." Lin Chen muttered.

The next second, Lin Chen suddenly drew his pistol and fired a series of shots at the black skull:

"Clap clap clap clap!"

Black Skull dodged bullets with incredible speed, rushing towards Lin Chen like a black afterimage.

In a flash of light, Lin Chen suddenly raised his axe to parry—

"clang!"

It blocked the black skull's dagger!

That's quite a bit of strength... Lin Chen frowned, then suddenly exerted his strength—

"boom!"

He deflected the black skull, which rolled several times before suddenly grabbing a rifle and firing a barrage of shots at Lin Chen.

"Da da da da!"

Lin Chen used his trench coat to block the burst of bullets, then suddenly threw the axe at Black Skull—

"call!"

Black Skull dodged the axe to the side, then turned his head to find Lin Chen already raising his shotgun—

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

One shot, two shots, three shots! Black Skull's charged armor shattered, and he lost his balance.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Lin Chen rushed in front of him and kicked him over.

He stretched out his hand, the axe flew back into his grasp, and he raised it high—

"Crack!"

Cut it down!

The first axe blow landed on the black skull's shoulder, which he dodged.

He thought this would prevent a fatal injury and give him a chance to counterattack, but little did he know that Lin Chen had already activated "Godslayer Mode":

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah!"

A ghostly blue flame erupted, instantly melting the black skull into a black skeleton.

"Zizi..."

Lin Chen stood up, swung the axe, looked at the pile of wreckage on the ground, and pressed his earpiece:

"I killed a Black Skull."

"Communications restored," Louis's voice came through. "That thing... how strong is it?"

"Pretty impressive, close to a gamma-level demigod, but he doesn't have any special abilities; he seems to be an all-around enhanced soldier."

Looking at the pile of ashes on the ground, Lin Chen couldn't help but frown slightly.

Clearly, this was the eldest brother's way of putting Lin Chen in his place.

It's just a black skeleton; he'll have to fight it to take it down.

But the Black Skull has a legion.

"Lower the elevator," Lin Chen pressed his earpiece. "Returning to the ground."

Chapter 52 Prejudice Never Changes (Third Update)

The rain fell in the alley and onto Jiang Zhengge's black trench coat.

At the entrance of the department store not far away, the second rapid response team had arrived at the scene and were taking the hostage into an ambulance to be sent to the hospital for treatment.

The streets are bustling with people: Just now, the Bureau of Investigation issued an emergency evacuation order, indicating that an out-of-control Foundation laboratory is about to explode in the West Point area.

Of course, Jiang Zhengge knew that this detonation would not cause a big commotion, but would simply destroy the laboratory itself.

But what he wanted was for everyone to pay attention to this matter.

The key point is that a "foundation's laboratory" exploded.

Moreover, it is "the laboratory beneath the ruins of the West Wing District headquarters".

This is a very powerful weapon in the war of public opinion.

"..."

Beside her, the manhole cover was violently blasted open, and Xileina slowly climbed up.

She gently patted the dust off her clothes, looked up, and gazed at Jiang Zhengge standing to the side.

"Did you get what you wanted?" she asked.

"What are you looking for?" Jiang Zhengge asked.

“If you don’t tell me, I won’t tell you,” Xileina said.

The two of them were locked in a stalemate, neither willing to compromise.

After a long while, Xileina sighed softly:

"Alright, I found the development records for the hub AI. I didn't even know it existed until now."

"Aren't you the person in charge of advancing Project Black Star?" Jiang Zhengge raised his eyebrows. "So you don't even know this AI exists?"

“This isn’t my area of ​​responsibility,” Xileina shrugged. “Luckily we found it, otherwise we would have been completely lost.”

"Oh?" Jiang Zhengge narrowed his eyes. "So, the original Black Star platform was controlled by someone? Or rather... by you?"

"How could that be? Do you take me for a consumables technician? If anyone is going to control something, it's a mind-body control."

tide Lena shrugged.

"Oh...so you want to save that girl because you're planning to develop a virus to kill the hub AI?"

“This is confidential,” Jiang Zhengge said.

"Alright, confidential it is."

tide Leina seemed to have no intention of asking any more questions, but she didn't leave. Instead, she stood next to Jiang Zhengge.

“Wu Hao has become such a grotesque figure,” she murmured. “What will happen to him after that?”

“Going back to jail,” Jiang Zhengge said, “is better than dying on the road to revenge.”

“You know I won’t kill him,” Xileina said. “I don’t deny that I bear some responsibility for that, but you know it wasn’t my intention.”

Jiang Zhengge remained silent.

Looking at his indifferent profile, tide Leina chuckled softly.

“I never thought of denying that the deep-sea diving operation was my fault,” she said. “If I hadn’t participated in that operation, Xiao Fang wouldn’t have died, and the brothers and sisters in Section One wouldn’t have died.”

“This has nothing to do with whether you join the foundation or not,” Jiang Zhengge said coldly. “You can think we are not powerful enough to help you, but assisting the foundation is definitely the worst choice you’ve ever made.”

"Really? Really?"

tide Lena paced back and forth.

“But would the Bureau of Investigation tolerate a demigod staying inside?” she murmured. “Look at Wu Hao’s face. He can’t wait for the whole world to know that I’m a demigod, an Alpha-level demigod! He can’t wait for everyone to know that I killed those comrades. He sees me as a jinx!”

At this point, tide Leina suddenly stopped.

“I am indeed a jinx,” she whispered. “Whether it’s New Orleans, Liberty, or the Abyss, Katrina came because of me.”

"Will they believe me? No, they'll just disembowel me and use me as a sacrifice to pray that God will stop bringing disaster!"

Suddenly, she seemed to hear Clement's prayers again from the church roof.

From the Gypsies who brought hurricanes to the demigods who spread death and misfortune.

Throughout, tide Leina's identity has never changed.

Rain fell on her head, running down her forehead and face.

Seeing tide Leina's appearance, Jiang Zhengge's lips trembled slightly.

“It’s not too late to turn back now,” he said.

"No, it's too late now."

tide Lena chuckled and wiped the water from her forehead with her hand.

“If all I had to do was die and let Katrina sleep forever, I would have gone to reunite with my brother and mother long ago,” she said softly. “But my mission is not over yet.”

"What mission?" Jiang Zhengge asked.

tide Lena gently pressed her hand against her lips.

"I can't say."
