I write obituaries for the gods

"It's truly suffocating..." Li Zhanyi murmured.

“Ultimately, the problem lies in the deployment of Black Star,” Jiang Zhengge said. “The super-American will not allow Black Star to be deployed successfully. Once we can destroy the rocket launch base in the Aviation Islands, they will lose their legitimate claim to invade Rain City.”

“But this is not a long-term solution; rain needs a mountain to support it from the other side,” Louis said.

“Yes, we’ve been contacting aid from the east these past few days,” Hua Molan nodded. “They don’t like to cause trouble, but if Yudu falls into the territory of the super-American, the world order will change, so they certainly won’t be afraid of trouble at a time like this.”

"Alright, that's about enough for now. Everyone, please take your places."

"..."

After leaving the director's office, Lin Chen and Li Zhanyi did not return to the Rapid Response Section 1 office, but instead followed Professor Isabel to B4.

Lin Chen needs to help Isabel get some poison gas.

"..."

In the underground laboratory, Lin Chen met Mephisto once again.

He was bound to the bed, staring out the window with disdain.

"He looks so irritating," Li Zhanyi muttered.

“I’ll go in and talk to him,” Lin Chen said, taking off his trench coat and handing it to Li Zhanyi. “Let’s start with talk therapy, then have a physical confrontation.”

"You want to go in and talk to him?" Isabel exclaimed in surprise. "It's poisonous, Kobayashi. Even hazmat suits can't withstand this stuff."

"It's okay, I can handle it."

After Lin Chen finished speaking, he walked directly into the purification chamber and pressed the ventilation button.

"Sizzle sizzle..."

Hearing a sound outside, Mephitis turned his head and looked towards the door.

When he saw Lin Chen enter the isolation room, a strange smile appeared on his face:

"No way? They sent someone in to die? Hehehe..."

"I heard you're not very cooperative. Someone has to talk to you, right?" Lin Chen walked to the bedside.

"Who are you?" Mephittis's Chinese wasn't very standard. "A high-ranking official from RBAI?"

"Just an ordinary investigator," Lin Chen said.

"Damn it, I hope your corpse will make your chief realize that I don't chat with low-level thugs..."

A deep blue light flashed in Mephisto's eyes, and almost simultaneously, he activated his superpower—

"puff!"

Yellow toxic gas instantly filled the entire room, engulfing everything.

Seeing this, Li Zhanyi was startled. Just as she was about to cry out, she heard Lin Chen's voice behind her:

"Alright, let's collect the poison gas."

Li Zhanyi and Isabo turned around and found Lin Chen standing unharmed behind them.

"Holy crap, you're playing dirty tricks?" Isabel exclaimed, her mouth agape.

"As long as the reaction speed is fast enough, he's easy to fool anyway," Lin Chen shrugged. "Is this enough poison gas?"

“Hmm...he’ll have to do it at least five more times.” Isabel glanced at the tablet in her hand.

"Row."

Lin Chen felt that his job was absolutely terrible.

He never dreamed when he was in college that one day his job would be to figure out how to get a demigod to release poison gas.

After the toxic gas in the isolation room had completely dissipated, Lin Chen went in again.

"You're so rude," Lin Chen said. "I'm talking to you, why are you treating it like I'm farting?"

"He's got some tricks up his sleeve..."

Mephittis smiled slightly.

"However...you are no match for me..."

"Sneak attack!"

He unleashed his superpowers once again, and yellow gas burst forth.

Lin Chen hoped he could forget this memory.

After doing this three times, Mephittis finally couldn't take it anymore.

"Damn it! Are you fucking crazy?!" he cursed. "Is this how you freeload?"

"What did I get for free? Aren't you attacking me?" Lin Chen asked, bewildered.

Mephittis stared at Lin Chen for a long time, a wicked smile slowly spreading across his lips.

"Fuck you... What on earth happened to that idiot Tom Connell that he let me fall into your hands..."

“Tom Connell?” Lin Chen chuckled. “His methods are quite good.”

"Nonsense, you can't imagine how terrible the things he's done, how much he's accomplished..."

"But I shot him dead."

After Lin Chen finished speaking, Mephitis was stunned:

"Are you kidding me...?"

"First of all, I have to say that if you casually mention the name of a CIA NOC, you are simply betraying your own teammate."

Lin Chen began to teach this demigod with intellectual disabilities a lesson.

"What if he hasn't been discovered yet? What if you sell him and he gets arrested by us?"

“You can’t catch him,” Mephittis smiled. “I’ve already been caught, he’s probably already fled back to the superpower, America, right? You think you can go to Washington and catch him?”

"Oh, you don't believe me?"

Lin Chen took out his phone and pulled up his body camera recording.

He showed Mafitis the video of himself killing Tom Connell.

"..."

After watching the video, Mephittis's expression gradually became distorted.

"Damn it, Eggmit!" he cursed. "He gave me a lot of kickbacks, he had a heart of gold, and you killed a good man!"

Lin Chen's lips twitched slightly:

“I know you are infiltrating Rain City, and I also know what you plan to do with the Space Islands.”

"So what? How much do you know?" Mephitis laughed. "You're just lucky to have caught me; you'll never catch my companions!"

"Your companion?"

Lin Chen suddenly laughed.

He took out his phone and went directly to the scene where Triton was clearing out American troops.

“A businessman sold all your intelligence to the Foundation,” Lin Chen said, watching Mephitis’s face grow increasingly dark. “Sigh, it’s only because our underground facilities have special encryption devices, otherwise you would probably be a puddle by now.”

"Niu'er...Xiaodie...are they all dead?" Mephitis murmured.

The demigod's pupils trembled, and his face turned pale, as white as lime on a wall, as if it might crack at any moment.

"So I said, if you don't cooperate, we'll let you go."

Lin Chen pulled up a chair, sat down, and crossed his legs.

"I just don't know if it's safe outside. Super America keeps looking for you, and we don't want to take any risks."

"However, I reckon you'll be blown to bits by Triton as soon as you step out of the encrypted room, right?"

"You're threatening me!" Mephittis glared angrily at Lin Chen. "This is a smokescreen, it must be! Professor M would never allow us to be harmed!"

"If you say so, then so be it. I don't care."

Lin Chen shrugged and glanced at his watch:

"Alright, I'm off work now. Since you're not cooperating, that's it. I should release you tonight. Figure out how to fly to the aircraft carrier yourself. Of course, if you explode in mid-air, I think the Foundation should be held responsible, right?"

After he finished speaking, he stood up and walked towards the door.

"Wait! Wait! I'll cooperate! I'll cooperate!"

Mephittis struggled in bed.

"I'll provide you with poison gas! As much as you want!"

Lin Chen turned around and glanced at Mephitis.

After confirming the fear in the demigod's eyes, he returned to the bedside and sat down on the stool.

“I need some information from you so we can protect you,” Lin Chen said. “Of course, I already know quite a bit about you, so I’ll use the usual method, asking you a mix of questions. If I find that your answers don’t match the information I have…”

“Fuck, Chickens, I’ll tell you the truth!” Mephisto yelled. “Just ask me whatever you want.”

"alright."

Lin Chen took out his phone and opened the memo app he had prepared in advance.

"So, the first question is..."

"The Professor M you mentioned seems to be the leader of the American military, but there is very little public information about him."

"I want to know, what are his abilities?"

......

Chapter 55 A Time of Unpredictable Change

Mephistos was clearly somewhat reluctant to answer Lin Chen's question.

After deliberating for a long time, he finally mustered the courage to answer:

"Professor M is our mentor, our spiritual leader, and also..."

"to be honest."

"He is our master."

Mephittis gritted his teeth.

"His ability is to transform pain into spiritual resonance, and then release it instantly, thereby remotely influencing the minds of others and imprinting a spiritual mark on them!"

"Transforming pain into spiritual resonance..."

Lin Chen couldn't help but frown.

"Explain in more detail?"

"It means exactly what it says. If he's in a lot of pain, his abilities are very strong," Mephittis said. "Pain is his energy source. To unleash his abilities, he needs continuous, intense pain!"

"How do you usually inflict pain on him?" Lin Chen pressed.

Mephittis fell silent.

After a long while, he whispered:

"Usually it's... a whip..."

"whip?"

"Sometimes it's the electric chair..."

"...?"

"When he goes out, he carries an electrode with him, ready to shock himself at any time..."

Lin Chen suddenly wished he had never heard of these things.

Professor M...

Is TMD the M?

Professor Masochistic!

“Actually, we don’t like him at all,” Mephittis quickly said, “but the demigods of the American army have to grow up under his control since childhood, and there are some things that are not up to us to decide!”
