Chapter 744: Chapter 743: Death Notice
“Don’t talk as if this power was supposed to belong to you,” Chen Ke said while looking at him with red eyes.
Adams showed no abnormality; he was neither a mutated individual nor an illusion, just an ordinary man standing opposite Chen Ke.
Perhaps the many mutated objects he carried gave him the courage to confront Chen Ke, but Chen Ke didn’t know and had a question for Adams.
“Where are they?” Chen Ke asked.
“Who?” Adams asked with a smile.
“You know what I’m asking.” Chen Ke tilted his head slightly.
Adams thought for a mont, his face breaking into a twisted smile. He shook his head gently, spread his arms, and made a helpless gesture.
“You see, if you wanted to save them, you should have co earlier,” Adams laughed.
Chen Ke didn’t speak, just listened quietly.
“Have you ever thought about a question, Mr. Chen? Humanity has existed for millions of years, yet recorded history only spans a re four thousand years. During that unrecorded deep sea era, what exactly were we doing?” Adams asked.
“Indescribable beings once ruled the universe. Our ancestors harnessed the Old King’s power to combat their threats, thereby preserving the fire of human civilization. Then, they disappeared, and we rose,” Adams continued, seeing that Chen Ke didn’t reply.
“Now, they have returned, yet the great n who once ruled the Old King are nowhere to be seen. Mr. Chen, you live in the past, and you do not know how desperate humanity’s future really is. This power is not a gratuitous gift, but we still haven’t figured out how to use it,” Adams said.
“What does this have to do with ?” Chen Ke said coldly.
“Every gift from heaven has its price tagged in secrecy, Mr. Chen. We know your secret because we possess what you do. Shall we be frank? You can control ti, you can command the Old King. Perhaps others do not know your uniqueness, but the Foundation has always been watching you,” Adams said.
Chen Ke stared intently at Adams.
“From the mont you were at the West Gold Building, we have been observing you. You were summoned from a distant past, rged with the Outer God’s power. We thought your arrival held special aning, but you have always been doing things that only a third-rate assassin would do,” Adams said.
“You’ve been watching all this ti? How did you accomplish that?” Chen Ke asked.
“You should have guessed it; you once looked up and t its gaze, didn’t you?” Adams said with a smile.
“The moon…” Chen Ke muttered. Whether on the rooftop of the bustling Raffi Road or the mysterious seas at night… the moon had always been watching him.
But at Sunrise, with his own gun, he had shot the moon to pieces. Now, the Foundation should not know what happened after Sunrise.
“Tell , where have you locked them up? I’m not interested in anything else,” Chen Ke said.
“Those won with special abilities… hmm, what are they to you? Companions? Lovers? Or just… bed partners?” Adams tried to provoke Chen Ke.
“They are my family,” Chen Ke said.
“Boring relations. It seems you received its gift by so coincidence. But your ability isn’t complete, is it? After all, you only have half of it, the other half is here with us,” Adams laughed.
“That’s enough, tell , where are the witches?!” Chen Ke stepped forward, summoning a large-caliber automatic rifle with his right hand.
Adams waved his hand, trying to get Chen Ke to calm down a bit.
“I ntioned earlier, if you wanted to save them, you should have co earlier. They possess imnse energy, which is the key to unlocking the mysteries of Spiritual Energy. We once had a Witch, an Asian girl, and with her ability, we tried to impart her ability to others… As a result, they all mutated… Later, the Witch ran away with the mutated children, so this ti, we’ve upgraded our facility for containing Witches,” Adams said.
After hearing this, Chen Ke realized that this was how Yasla and Fujiwara Makoto had co about…
“Thank you for bringing us these Witches, Mr. Chen. We’ve tested them with advanced equipnt. The Witch with chocolate-colored skin—we dissected her and studied her internal organs and muscle structure. Her regeneration rate is astounding. If we could fully understand this power, we could grant humanity immortality,” Adams said.
“The Witch capable of emitting Fla, we also dissected her to figure out the source of the Fla. The combination of Spiritual Energy and the human body has always been a mystery, but we’ve had a breakthrough in her liver organ, where the temperature is always very high. If it were an ordinary person, they would have died of cirrhosis long ago,” Adams continued nonchalantly.
“The Witch who could generate electricity kept trying to escape, so we severed her limbs and soaked her in a formalin solution. She is now in a cycle of death and regeneration. We want to see where her limits lie,” Adams glanced at Chen Ke.
“You see, if the secrets within these three Witches could be unraveled, it would advance human society’s technology and bioengineering by another 100 years. There is nothing more important than the welfare and progress of humanity. And you have played a part in this,” Adams smiled.
Chen Ke looked at Adams, who seed very proud of the foundation’s actions. This pride emanated from his bones and was fully displayed on his face, as he firmly believed he was doing the right thing.
What could be more important than the progress of human society? It was just three won, after all, and they hardly counted as human anymore.
Sacrificing a few for the benefit of humanity—what’s wrong with that?
Chen Ke raised his gun and fired two bullets, shattering Adams’ kneecaps.
“Ah!!!” Adams fell to the ground, screaming as he propped himself up with his arms.
Chen Ke held the gun in one hand and aid it at Adams’ chest, firing and piercing his upper body.
A blossom of flesh and blood erupted, and viscera and blood spattered on the floor, still emitting a slight heat.
Chen Ke walked forward, looking down at Adams, a cruel smile hanging on his face. The gunshot to his chest was bone-deep, his pectoral muscles shattered, his sternum protruding outward. The large-caliber bullet left a massive, gaping wound, exposing a piece of his large intestine.
“Hissss… What do you think… you are…?” Adams smiled at Chen Ke, who could tell that he was in pain too.
“I’m an Assassin,” Chen Ke said, pressing the gun muzzle to Adams’ forehead and pulling the trigger.
Pffft…
Adams’ head burst like an exploded tomato, blood splattering all over the gun barrel.
Adams lay motionless on the ground, dead. However, after a few seconds, his body slowly turned white, then transford into a large pile of white ash, much like what happened when Xu Jing traveled through ti.
The white ash slowly beca transparent, and within a few breaths, it vanished, leaving only the blood stains on the floor.
Chen Ke watched as Adams’ body disappeared before him, a foreboding feeling rising.
“Clap… clap… clap…” from behind, ca the sound of malfunction.
Chen Ke turned around, only to see Adams walking out from behind.
“At least, your reaction was just as I expected,” Adams laughed.
He was still in his suit, unscathed. Chen Ke looked at him with a Red Eye, but noticed nothing unusual—what was the principle behind this…?
“You can’t kill , Mr. Chen. Here, ti perpetually loops between the mont you see and the mont you kill . Ti tricks aren’t your specialty,” Adams laughed.
