Rebirth: Divine Machine-Making Master - Chapter 28
Chapter 28: Played Himself to Death?
“The gun went off?”
Elrond was the one who suggested this game. He pointed at his temple, and the revolver went off?
Two was dumbfounded. Was there even a need to play such a game when he had an absolute advantage over them?
So be it if they had to play, but he actually played himself to death?
In the next moment, Elrond’s original dull eyes suddenly winked. He bent down and burst into laughter.
“Hahahaha, this is so funny. You fool, how could I possibly play myself to death? I’m just teasing you.”
Following that, Two’s pupils contracted. He saw the gun that the mechanical arm behind Elrond was holding.
If one looked carefully, one would notice the wisp of smoke that was emitting from the muzzle.
He turned his head stiffly to see a bloody hole on Ten’s head. Ten was staring blankly ahead.
With a thud, he dropped dead on the ground.
“Zero, you’re not a man of your word,” Two said furiously.
Elrond walked over and kicked Two, saying, “Are you f*cking stupid? Exactly like what you thought, I have the absolute advantage. So, why would I want to play such an exciting game with you guys?
“I think your IQ is not higher than Ten’s.”
After saying that, he walked to Ten’s body and fired more than ten shots in a row.
Two was speechless.
He went in a daze and muttered, “Why?”
Elrond suddenly turned around and looked at him ferociously.
“Why? Why did I give you hope? Then make you fall into despair?
“The nomads felt the same way, but what did you do? Are the things that you have done considered humane?”
“We cannot disobey the orders from the organization. I must carry them out. They deserve to die, not me. Zero, it’s not too late for you to turn back.”
Elrond laughed.
“Two, did you think that there’s any meaning to stall for time?” Elrond exposed Two’s intentions.
Pointing a gun on Two’s head, he walked up and took the communicator.
“Leader, you’re listening, right?”
There was no need for Elrond to know who was the person on the other end.
The word ‘leader’ had two meanings. To Elrond, Helen Harry was also his leader.
In short, anyone who could receive Two’s message was not someone simple.
“Smart, very smart indeed. You are the best crystallization of wisdom within the entire laboratory.
“Those experimental staff are really stupid. They were all fooled by you.”
At this moment, the communicator emitted a colorful ray of light, and a virtual figure appeared.
This figure was covered in black, and that person hid under a large cloak.
Elrond frowned and said, “I believe, you must be the leader.”
“That’s right, Zero, you are extraordinarily intelligent.
“After you were brainwashed, you started to assemble all sorts of machines. But the experimental staff treated this as a waste of time.
“They assumed that something was wrong with your brain. What a bunch of fools!
“They’re really a bunch of imbeciles.”
Elrond could tell that the leader was furious.
“Zero, I have a question. I wonder if you can tell me the answer?”
“Go ahead and ask,” said Elrond.
“When did you develop your self-awareness to rebel against the organization?”
“When I just regained consciousness after becoming an experimental subject, my self-awareness had already formed.”
The leader paused for a moment, then asked, “Does that mean that the brainwashing process on you was useless?”
“You can think of it that way.”
They had already fallen out. Even if he did not tell him, there were plenty of capable people in the organization who could guess the answer.
“You’re really good at tolerating. No one in the entire experimental base knew about the long tunnel that you dug.”
“I knew that you guys would find out,” said Elrond, with a smile.
“You’re really smart. Are you interested to come back? I’ll let bygones be bygones for everything you’ve done. I’ll even let you rule all the experimental subjects. How about it?”
Before Elrond could reply, someone else spoke before him.
“No! Leader, Zero is a traitor. If we let him return to the organization, he might create bigger problems in the future.”
The leader simply ignored Two. “Zero, you’re the organization’s experimental subject, and that makes the organization your parents. You shouldn’t betray your parents.
“The organization’s wish is to conquer the world. You’re my important right-hand man. As long as you show me that your ability is outstanding enough, I’ll give you all authority that you need. There is a chance that your name will spread throughout the future world.”
The conditions that the leader offered were extremely tempting. It was not only the experimental subjects. Even for the great scientists of the human world, few could resist the temptation.
New Life Organization was not a small organization. Its existence could contend against the six major countries.
The leader had personally sent out an invitation. His promise was unimaginable.
Two was so shocked that he went numb.
“Why?
“Why?
“How am I inferior to him?”
There was a problem with New Life Organization’s brainwashing process. They had indeed erased the memories.
But they preserved all the bad emotional traits of a human. Jealousy and anger were some of those traits.
The experimental subjects were extremely loyal to New Life Organization. But the competition between them was abnormally intense.
If one could kill another person, then one would definitely not hold back.
This was also a hidden problem.
“Wow, such generous conditions.
“Then what will you do to a loser like him?” Elrond pointed at Two and asked.
“Him? You can do whatever you want. We have plenty of such people.”
“Leader— I—”
Two’s face was ashen.
Elrond smiled. “That’s great, I’ll collect some interest then.”
Saying that, he aimed for Two’s kneecap, and a loud bang was heard.
That area he aimed at was the joint. The Golden Revolver was extremely powerful.
It directly broke Two’s calf.
Two’s face turned pale from the pain, and beads of sweat covered his face.
“Zero, if I don’t die today, I’ll make sure you payback for this another day.”
Elrond said, “Unfortunately, you don’t have the chance anymore.”
Without waiting for Two’s reaction, he fired another shot and hit his other leg.
That leg was also broken.
“What do you think about my punishment for him?”
Elrond looked at the virtual image of the leader and asked.
The leader spoke in a low voice, “Trash is trash. Zero, why don’t you kill him for me?”
Two hung his head down, showing a ghastly expression.
He did not know who he should hate any longer.
The genes in him made it impossible to hate New Life Organization.
He existed for New Life Organization so it was only natural for him to die for the organization.
However, it did not seem right to hate Elrond as well.
“Zero, what do you think? If you return to the organization, you can kill whoever you want in the laboratory, except for Helen Harry. I will not bother about what you do.”
The leader used his ultimate move again.
Two was disheartened.
Elrond also felt a chill in his heart upon hearing that.
The leader of the New Life Organization was really ruthless.
Such people would definitely achieve great things.
It had always been proven in history, that those who achieved great things were ruthless.
If one had a soft nature, no matter how great one’s ability was, it was difficult to achieve great things.
Elrond was disheartened to see this leader. He knew that this kind of person was extremely difficult to deal with.
This was because this kind of person would do anything to achieve his aim.
“Not easy to deal with.”
His hand did not stop moving, and he shot Two in the chest.
“Leader, since I’ve escaped, do you think that I will harbor thoughts of returning?”
“Zero, consider this carefully. Although this world is big, people from our organization are everywhere. You won’t be able to escape.”
“I’d like to try,” said Elrond, with a smile.
“Zero, don’t you want to know your background?” The leader suddenly asked.
For that one second, Elrond’s face revealed a hint of confusion.
The leader caught sight of this reaction instantly.
“As expected, he doesn’t know about his past identity,” the leader thought inwardly.
“Who were you in the past, and why have you turned out like this?
“As long as you return to the organization, I will tell you everything.”
If Elrond was still the same Elrond as before, he might have fallen into the trap by now, to find out who he was in the past.
This was a barrier that was hidden deep in the hearts of all the experimental subjects.
However—
Elrond laughed and said, “I don’t need my past. I only need my future.”
“Leader, there’s no need for you to say anything more. You can’t persuade me.”
The leader’s voice gradually turned cold. “Zero, don’t refuse a toast and choose to take the hard way.”
“I don’t like to drink. But if you insist on toasting, I can drink it too.”
Elrond waved at the virtual image.
Then, he directly turned off the communicator.
Elrond had just left the valley for less than two hours when the leader and Helen Harry arrived.
They saw corpses everywhere inside the valley.
The leader muttered, “Such a successful experiment, but we missed it.
“We have made a huge loss.”
