Chapter 1699: Stubborn Burning Will
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Over the past year, Lu Siya’s performance can be described as ‘impeccable.’ Whether it was due to her duties, fulfilling the Research Department’s mission, or going deep into the masses of the citizens, establishing the Azure Alliance with the ordinary citizens and the superhumans of the humble families to balance the nine noble families, everything she did seemed to be for Dragon City and for all mankind!
“Even after The Bright Light’s explosion, when the angry crowd surrounded Universe Corporation’s headquarters, she turned a blind eye to such a rare opportunity to stir up conflict and tear Dragon City apart. She even gambled her reputation and stopped the riot of the crowd.
“And now, she is even willing to give up the hope of escaping and fighting back for two ordinary people whom she doesn’t know!
“Is she really a monster in human skin?
“Or is it true that the will of a human being is still dancing and shining in the depths of her brain, which is full of monster cells, like a stubborn flame?”
!!
Meng Chao took a deep breath.
The scene of him falling from the Devil’s Eye on the summit of Mist Mountain seemed to have been frozen, magnified a hundred times as it reappeared before his eyes.
Now that he thought about it, Lu Siya pushed him off the cliff because she had no other choice since at that time, her body had already been occupied and controlled by the monster mastermind.
The heroic spirit of Senior Jin Qianxi, who had helped them resist the will of the monster, had also been exhausted.
If Lu Siya had not made a prompt decision, Meng Chao, who was covered in wounds and had lost the ability to fight back, would have also been tightly bound by the tentacles spurting out of the monster mastermind. Together with Lu Siya, he would have been reduced to a puppet of the monster civilization.
Pushing him toward the Devil’s Eye for him to go downstream to try his luck had been the best choice.
“Could it be that when I left Dragon City, Lu Siya’s will was not completely devoured by the monster mastermind? Instead, she persisted in resisting and holding on for an entire year?”
A glimmer of hope appeared in Meng Chao’s heart.
Although the possibility was very small, thinking about it carefully, after the monster mastermind was besieged by dozens of Deity Realm warriors, it was in an unprecedentedly weak state.
Moreover, what invaded Lu Siya’s body was at most a fragment of the monster mastermind, a cell, or even a cluster of spores.
Even this cluster of spores contained fragments of the heroic spirit of the human powerhouse, Senior Jin Qianxi.
Considering all the factors, it was not entirely impossible for Lu Siya.
At the very least, from the signs that Meng Chao had observed, the Lu Siya in front of him was not completely on the monster civilization’s side.
He still had hope of saving her!
Not only Meng Chao, but even the Ghost Assassins did not expect Lu Siya to make such a “foolish” choice.
The fierce firepower lasted for a full three seconds before the commander hurriedly ordered his subordinates to stop firing.
It was not that they had not been cautious enough. They believed that one round of attacks would have completely destroyed Lu Siya’s combat ability.
Against a target like Lu Siya, if possible, they would want to bombard her for a full three minutes, though.
The problem was Lu Siya had destroyed the spatial barrier generator.
The surroundings of the poor street were bustling with traffic and people.
In the Monster Market behind them, there were dozens of Azure Alliance members who had come with Lu Siya, as well as even more regular superhumans who had come to purchase monster materials. These people were naturally on Lu Siya’s side.
If the commotion was too big and they noticed the sound of sniper fire and the violent explosion that came from attacking spirit magnetic fields, the Ghost Assassins would turn around and be surrounded by an angry crowd.
Fortunately for the Ghost Assassins, Lu Siya had seemingly exhausted herself. She was covered in wounds, and she had run out of spirit energy.
The bombardment earlier was like the last straw that broke Lu Siya’s defense line.
At that moment, she was kneeling on one knee and shivering all over. Blood was flowing freely under her knees, making her feel as if she was standing on red flames.
However, she protected the lowly mother and daughter. Not a single strand of their hair was hurt. They were just too frightened and could not move.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The Ghost Assassin commander made a hand gesture, and dozens of single-molecule nanowires surrounded by electric arcs flew toward Lu Siya.
This time, she was unable to dodge or block. She was tightly bound by her enemy and was so shocked that she gnashed her teeth.
The Ghost Assassins let out a sigh of relief.
Although the process was tortuous, they had still completed their mission. Now, they only needed to clean up the mess before they left the battlefield.
A Ghost Assassin then walked toward the mother-and-daughter pair.
It was as if a sharp blade had grown out of the flesh and blood in his arms. It shone brightly in the darkness.
The lowly mother and daughter were scared silly. They were like antelopes that had been pounced on by a fierce tiger. Their muscles were stiff, and their breathing was stagnant. They could only watch helplessly as the other party’s claws and teeth reached their necks.
Meng Chao took advantage of the moment when all the Ghost Assassins’ attention was focused on Lu Siya. Like a shadow without thickness, weight, or color, he moved stealthily above the Ghost Assassins’ heads.
Dozens of images appeared in his mind.
He made sure that he could kill the commander and the Ghost Assassin who had tried to silence them in half a second.
He also made a comprehensive, repeated, and precise deduction of the Ghost Assasssins’ possible reactions.
However, at that moment, Lu Siya ignored the single-molecule nanowires around her, which were getting tighter and tighter and cutting out crisscrossing bloody marks. She gritted her teeth, straightened her back inch by inch, and stood up.
Lu Siya’s eyes shone with a light that was more lethal than the anti-material sniper bullets.
She stood between the mother and daughter and the Ghost Assassins who were trying to silence her. She stared at the commander who was not far away. Her voice was hoarse but firm as she resolutely said, “It doesn’t matter who you are. If you dare touch even a hair on their heads, I’ll make sure you die a horrible death!”
Even though she was tied up and her vitality magnetic field was weak and chaotic to the extreme, her words were like lightning, striking the central nerves of every Ghost Assassin. They trembled uncontrollably as a result.
The Ghost Assassins looked at each other in disbelief.
They did not understand why felt an indescribable fear once again after receiving inhuman training and even gene-modulation surgery in the Blood Alliance’s training camp. Their nerves had supposedly been frozen long ago.
The commander took two steps forward and held down the sharp blade that his subordinate was about to raise high.
“Relax.”
The commander then said to his subordinate, “We are carrying out a perfectly legal capture mission. There is no need to create unnecessary complications.
“Take them back with us first. Once the dust settles, it won’t matter if there are any witnesses.”
