Chapter 56 Death

Love liar?

Ling Zihan stared at the other party, remained silent for a long time, and asked seriously: "Since the Pearl of Light is very valuable, as a saint, and you are a very special saint, the Sun Cult will definitely focus on supervision, so why did you still escape?"

Kong Linlin replied: "As for this matter... I can only say it was a coincidence. But no matter what, I did escape."

Ling Zihan stared at Kong Linlin's shattered face: "So you had plastic surgery?"

Kong Linlin didn't deny it: "I brought Kong Jun out too. As I said, he's not very smart."

Ling Zihan still felt that the whole matter was still suspicious: "Since the pearl of light can be conceived and raised normally by feeding the holy maiden, why do you want to hunt and kill these children? I mean, Floating Cloud City is a place that pays attention to rules, and murder must be punished. Although you have supernatural powers and you have Kong Jun as a helper by your side, it is not an easy task to hunt and kill children who meet the requirements."

"How on earth did you do it?" His questioning tone was normal, but it also had a commanding tone that had never been seen before.

Kong Linlin fell silent again.

After thinking for a long time, she slowly opened her lips: "The Great Pope once said that I am a very lucky person."

"Luck?" Ling Zihan found this really incomprehensible.

Kong Linlin looked calm: "According to historians, war created a new era and a new concept of human beings. Although we don't know the exact time point when supernatural powers were produced, there is no doubt that there are two completely different populations between supernatural beings and ordinary people. The former possesses the power of gods, while the latter are just ants."

"The situation of supernatural beings is very complicated. The currently recognized four major series, that is, earth, water, fire, and wind, are only the most common types of supernatural beings."

"In this world, there are still other kinds of supernatural beings. They have special powers beyond imagination."

"For example...foreseeing."

When Kong Linlin spoke, she kept staring at Ling Zihan, hoping to see a surprised expression on his face.

However, she was still disappointed. At the same time as she said the word "foreseeing", Ling Zihan's expression remained unchanged.

"You mean, the Pope has the special ability to predict the future?" He asked calmly.

Kong Linlin completely put away the slight contempt for Ling Zihan that just emerged, and replied honestly: "I think it should be so."

Ling Zihan said flatly: "Because you were lucky, you escaped from the heavily guarded Sun Sect."

"Because you are very lucky, you are lurking in Floating Cloud City without anyone noticing. With just you and Kong Jun, you can easily find as many as eighteen children who meet the requirements, kill them, and become food for the Pearl of Light."

"Because you were lucky, you blatantly asked Kong Jun to apply for a job at Wansen Group and become a worker in a steel factory to provide the necessary heat for the Pearl of Light."

Speaking of this, Ling Zihan turned sideways, and his eyes fell on the magnetic energy machine set up in the basement: "Because of your luck, you got this special device, which will become your important amulet."

Kong Linlin felt her whole body become stiff.Through these words, she faintly had a bad premonition.

Ling Zihan's voice was still cold: "Tell me, why is the Pearl of Light so important? Or should I say, what is the use of this thing?"

Kong Linlin sized him up for a while, and asked uncertainly, "I can tell you, but you have to promise that you won't kill me."

Ling Zihan nodded slightly: "I promise."

A trace of doubt flashed in Kong Linlin's eyes: "Are you sure?"

"What good does killing you do me?" Ling Zihan said frankly, "Of course, I need money. If you can give me enough benefits, I can let you live."

Kong Linlin couldn't wait to open her mouth and asked, "Is two thousand gold dollars enough?"

She then added: "This is what I brought out when I escaped from the Sun Cult, and now there are only so many left."

"Where is the money?" Ling Zihan asked directly.

Kong Linlin pointed at the opposite cabinet, Ling Zihan turned and walked there, opened the cabinet, and saw two bulging leather money bags.

He put the money bag into his backpack, turned and returned to the original place: "You haven't answered my previous question."

Without the threat of death, Kong Linlin's expression became particularly relaxed.She said bluntly: "The Pearl of Light is the key to the world above ground. According to the Pope, only the most powerful people with supernatural powers have the right to enter the Kingdom of Light."

"That's all I know, really!"

Ling Zihan was very dissatisfied with the answer, but he knew that it was impossible to dig out more from Kong Linlin's mouth, so he could only settle for the next best thing: "I have one last question: You said that you are a very special saint, why?"

"It has something to do with the quality of the Pearl of Light." Kong Linlin replied: "Not all fertilized eggs based on the essence of the Great Pope can become Pearls of Light. The damage rate among them is as high as 90.00%. And even the Pearl of Light that has been successfully conceived by absorbing the mother's body has its own quality.

Ling Zihan nodded knowingly: "You mean, even if you enter the mother's gestation stage, you can't guarantee that all the pearls of light will mature after absorbing nutrients?"

"Yes." Kong Linlin replied: "The success rate is very low, which is why the Sun Cult has so many saintesses. It is the simplest reason to ensure quality with quantity."

"As for me..." Her expression suddenly became a little lonely: "It may be a very special existence in the eyes of the Great Pope. Physique, genes, biological basis ratio...whatever it is, there is always a certain aspect that meets the special requirements. I admit that I like the Great Pope, but I can't risk my life just because of a mere man."

"I produced a total of five fertilized eggs. Including the four immature semi-finished products, they are the highest quality pearls of light in the history of the Sun Cult."

"I checked in the Sun Cult's database and made the most detailed comparison. I knew that I was a guinea pig that was highly valued by them, so I escaped."

"Now you understand why I said you can become the new Pope?"

"We can unite and return to the Sun Cult. You are stronger than the Great Pope. I am not your opponent at all. I can only kneel down obediently in front of you. I can breed more pearls of light for you. We can go to the world on earth together and enjoy the light bestowed by God forever."

She looked at Ling Zihan full of expectation, and quickly scanned every detail of his face.There are hormonal ingredients in it, and more of it is utilitarian.Uncontrollable excitement surfaced on her face, she swallowed hard, and her tongue kept licking her dry lips.

Ling Zihan stepped forward.

He walked to Kong Linlin's side, squatted down, grabbed her hair mercilessly, pulled out the fighting knife with his right hand, and placed the cold and sharp blade across her neck again.

"You... what are you doing?" Kong Linlin felt that all the blood in her body stopped flowing instantly, and her body was as cold as ice.

"You must die." Ling Zihan stared at her coldly, like a lion staring at its prey under its sharp claws.

"...You promised not to kill me." Kong Linlin was trembling all over. She couldn't imagine that just a few minutes ago, this handsome man personally promised to give her life. At that time, he seemed like an angel with flawless reputation.

And I gave him so much money.

"I lied to you."

After saying these four words in an understatement, Ling Zihan's hand holding the knife suddenly exerted force, and the blade walked along the inner seam of the human skeleton he was familiar with and wound around Kong Linlin's neck, cutting off her complete head.

Her eyes were wide open and her mouth was opened wide.

Ling Zihan's whole set of movements is smooth and flowing, and the speed is extremely fast.

Kong Linlin hardly felt any pain.

However, even in death, the obsession, astonishment and horror in his heart are still so strong.

Ling Zihan remained calm, took out a lighter from his coat pocket, and lit Kong Linlin's long hair on fire.Suddenly the flames blazed, her broken face was wrapped in flames, and the air also emitted a pungent burnt smell.

Ling Zihan continued to ignite the clothes on the surface of Kong Linlin's headless body, then stood up and retreated to a farther position, silently looking at the two piles of fire on the ground.

Without a combustion aid such as gasoline, hair and clothes burn quickly.

Most of her head was scorched black, and the surface of her body was also burned to varying degrees, and the skin and superficial muscles were roasted.

Ling Zihan took out the mask from his backpack and put it on, then dragged the corpse and head to the stairs to the ground floor.

Back in the basement, he picked up his rifle and fired aimlessly at the basement continuously.

Take out the two high-explosive grenades that were prepared before from the backpack, throw them at the center of the altar in the middle of the room, then turn around and sprint to the first floor.

There was a huge dull roar from behind, as well as a stormy energy impact.

Thick smoke billowed, and in a broken environment, Ling Zihan with a calm expression took out a round container the size of a basketball from his backpack, put Kong Linlin's head into it, and put it into the backpack.

After finishing all this, he clicked on the intercom installed on his shoulder and dialed Yang Yan's number.

……

A few minutes later, Yang Yan rushed to the scene with several policemen.

Ling Zihan briefly introduced the situation: "I've already done it for you. I still have something to do, so let's go first."

Yang Yan was actually unwilling to let him go.However, the previous conversation had revealed too many secrets to Ling Zihan, and now he couldn't control the initiative, so he could only nod with a depressed expression: "Okay!"

Ling Zihan whispered: "I will contact you later."
