I write obituaries for the gods

"They're producing...sapphire...!"

"The target landing point is... Yudu!"

......

Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Self (6000 words)

The target destination is Yudu.

When Bruce's words came, everyone felt a chill run down their spines.

Li Zhanyi subconsciously raised his head and looked up at the ceiling.

“Oh my God…” she whispered.

"Is there any more information, Bruce?" Hua Molan asked.

However, there was no further activity on the communication channel.

"Damn it," Hua Molan cursed under her breath.

"Don't panic. The communication system on the Orca was destroyed during the escape. I saw it before," Tang Xiaoren said quickly.

"Perhaps it's just that we ascended too quickly in subspace, causing communication problems," Jiang Zhengge said.

“I hope so,” Hua Molan breathed a sigh of relief. “The important thing is that we’re in trouble.”

Seeing Hua Molan's serious expression, everyone nodded.

Yes, this is no small problem.

Black Star Six's next target is Rain City. The sword hanging over everyone's heads is determined to wipe out the entire Rain City in order to destroy the Foundation's evidence of its crimes here.

When will destruction come? In a month? In a few days?

Or... in the next second?

Hua Molan pressed the earpiece and said softly:

"Mom, I've given you the interface. Check Louis's database and see if there's any relevant information."

"Don't call out 'Mom' while you're working! Mom will be shy!"

At that moment, the sound of an embroidery needle came through the earpiece:

"Senior, we've searched the area where Louis's helicopter landed, but we couldn't find him!"

"Didn't find it?"

Lin Chen pressed down on the headset, his expression instantly turning serious.

"Not even a trace?"

"The hatch was forcibly pried open, and someone rescued him!"

......

When Louis woke up, he found himself flying at high speed in the air.

In his daze, he saw Storm's pair of deep blue eyes.

“Storm... rain…” Louis began, his voice slightly hoarse.

"Don't speak, you're badly injured," Storm whispered.

"Uh..."

Louis felt a sharp pain in his forehead, and then heard a maniacal laugh in his mind.

"Hehehehe...you're about to die...soon you'll become my puppet..."

"Shut up...Bai Duozhi..."

Louis pressed his temples, the deep blue in his eyes burning intensely.

In the struggle for the brain, countless fragmented memories burst forth.

"..."

Vomit.

In Jiang Zhengge's apartment, Louis was vomiting.

He looked up at himself in the mirror, and a wave of nausea washed over him.

"vomit..."

Louis vomited his stomach contents into the sink again, feeling a burning sensation in his stomach, as if a snake were writhing inside.

He suddenly felt like cursing everyone at the victory celebration: Professor Jürgen, who had such a high alcohol tolerance, and Jiang Zhengge, who insisted on putting on airs...

And then there's Lin Chen, the Lin Chen who doesn't need to be toasted...

And there's Li Zhanyi...!

She ran outside to whisper with Lin Chen. What did those two talk about?

Louis felt his hands trembling uncontrollably.

He spent so much time trying to get close to Li Zhanyi, trying to strike up a conversation with her, trying to become her friend...

Even now, Li Zhanyi maintains that reserve towards him, always remaining polite no matter what he does.

Perhaps she had already sensed Louis's feelings, and that's why she politely and instinctively kept her distance...

But why was Lin Chen accepted by her?

Why was Lin Chen allowed to be her roommate? Why was Lin Chen allowed to go out and whisper secrets with her?

Louis felt an urge to rush out, to confront Li Zhanyi, and to settle things with Lin Chen.

Thinking of this, his stomach churned again:

"vomit..."

This time, the contents clearly contained some blood.

"Cough...cough cough..."

Louis looked up at himself in the mirror.

He saw a faint, deep blue glint in his eyes, and then spoke softly:

"You said... if I let you stay in my mind, you'd make me extraordinary..."

"Can you really do it?"

He was having a conversation with Byakuji—during the recently concluded operation to destroy the country, he opened his mind and provided shelter for one of Byakuji's clones.

However, until now, that clone has not said another word.

It seems that the clone died along with its master the moment the real Hyakudochi was killed.

"What am I thinking? You're obviously dead..."

Louis splashed cold water on his face with his hand.

Extraordinary? How did someone like him become extraordinary?

His greatest achievement in life was his good grades in math, physics, and chemistry. He had a talent for solving problems, so he stood out from the small town and was admitted to Yudu University based on his excellent grades.

He had imagined countless times how he would look down on everyone, but after entering the investigation bureau, he realized that his type was everywhere.

At the Bureau of Investigation, he was even less respected than someone who used to deliver food.

"Oh!"

Louis slammed his fist on the sink, then grabbed a handful of water and splashed it on his face.

This time, the icy coldness splashed on his face did not immediately subside. Accompanied by a faint, dim light, Louis felt the world spinning before his eyes.

He steadied himself against the sink, struggled to lift his head, and looked into the mirror before him—

"Bai Duozhi is dead. I think you all know what to do next, right?"

He was sitting at a long table, surrounded by darkness.

At the far end of the table, an old acquaintance was sitting.

That's Mr. Z.

Where is this?

As Louis was puzzled, a voice came from the darkness:

"Mr. Z...we will do our best to quell the public opinion..."

“Very good,” Mr. Z nodded. “Plain Body No. 3, tell me about your plan.”

From their conversation, Louis gradually pieced together the truth.

This space is prepared for the spiritual essence.

All entities can connect to this space through consciousness, thus enabling them to communicate remotely.

Louis couldn't see who was at the table, and he guessed that the others probably couldn't see him either, so he listened quietly.

The only thing that bothered him was why Mr. Z was also able to enter this space.

Louis recalled the ugly appearance of Baidozhi—as a spiritual entity, his appearance was far from ideal.

Mr. Z doesn't seem to be a spiritual entity either... So how was he able to enter this space?

So Louis listened to their conversation silently for several hours.

Mr. Z explained in detail how to handle public opinion and who these spiritual entities should manipulate and bewitch.

In Louis's opinion, Mr. Z was far more professional than those incompetent people in the Public Opinion Executive Department.

As Louis listened, he gradually developed a sense of superiority—wasn't Lin Chen very good at gathering intelligence on the other side? No matter how capable he was, could he compare to Louis now?

Louis actually infiltrated the enemy ranks!

After the meeting ended, the darkness dissipated, and Louis opened his eyes, looking at himself in the mirror.

Gradually, the corners of his mouth curved up slightly.

He suddenly had a wicked thought: since Lin Chen had been keeping his abilities a secret and guarding against him like a thief, why didn't he also hide his special abilities until some truly important information reached his ears?

Then, he can suddenly step in and turn the tide.

Wouldn't this give Section Chief Jiang more recognition?

Would that way, she'd be able to look at him more often?

Louis gave a faint smile in front of the sink.

He suddenly felt... that he had the means to change his destiny.

"..."

Operation Achilles' Heel: Louis sat in a small room, watching the images on the screen.

He saw Jürgen and Lin Chen separate from Mr. Z in the hall and enter the meeting room.

“Oswald is in position. The third stall in the men’s restroom at the entrance of the venue.”

"receive."

At that moment, Louis suddenly felt a sharp pain in his temple.

He closed his eyes, his consciousness racing through the darkness.

"Mind entities, this is an emergency executive order," Mr. Z's voice came from the tabletop. "My elder brother has warned of Euclid's attack. He will soon attack the Westview Building. From now on, all personnel below mind control must leave the building. No explanation is required..."

Upon hearing Mr. Z's words, Louis frowned slightly.

Is Euclid going to attack the fundraising event?

Zhanyi and the others also want to go to the Xiwang District headquarters!

Instinctively, Louis prepared to leave his consciousness and call the Rapid Response Division.

But then, as if possessed, he clenched his fist.

wrong...

Isn't it a waste to just tell them the information like this?
