The man in black took out a lighter and a cigarette from his trouser pocket, and handed one to Loken Williams, but Loken Williams didn't take it, so he lit the cigarette himself, took a deep breath, and laughed. and replied:

"Mr. Williams, you are also one of us. You don't know the truth, you don't know how much trouble you have made?"

The man in black snapped his fingers and counted Loken Williams' crimes one by one:

"Because of your relationship, the gentlemen of the Colombian Monopoly Association not only lost a lot of money in the emerging field of life science and technology, but also lost the already solid arms industry, basic medical industry, and daily necessities industry. Involved in this leak of yours, most of the domestic market and almost all of the overseas market were lost, and even went bankrupt due to huge losses. You have done a good job, Mr. Williams, and the whole of Colombia has not yet released But you forced several lords to hang themselves by yourself like this."

"And it doesn't stop there. The government has collapsed now, and the Federal Parliament has become an empty building. You see, I am moving things here. When the Federal Parliament was evacuated by the mob a few days ago, there was no us So civilized. They could just burn Congress down."

"The military has come to power, that Doug, the lords haven't seen that he has such ambitions before, or is he just a puppet pushed out by the military? It's the same relationship as the monopoly enterprises and the lords of the parliament. But this It doesn't matter, the military has marched into Washington, the 30-day deadline has been issued, what awaits Colombia now?"

The man in black grinned and spit out two words:

"civil war!"

Loken Williams' cheeks were trembling, he knew that the man in black was right.Every day on the streets of Silicon Valley State, there are conflicts between citizens armed with weapons and the army who came to suppress them. The sound of bullets smashing glass can be heard in almost every street and alley every night, and all this is just the beginning. The armed conflict is yet to come.

But is it his fault?

He, Loken Williams, has worked diligently for the lords for so many years, with no credit or hard work. The lords are now able to escape from Washington State and form interim governments in several cities in the west of Columbia. Those war weapons provided by Ken Tank Lab captured the airfield and the rear?

Loken Williams still doesn't know where he made a mistake. He obviously took all the confidentiality measures to the extreme. Even if his respected teacher came to the Loken water tank, he didn't see even the slightest trace of crime. , that mysterious [Joseph Pulitzer], where did he get so many detailed materials to expose himself?

Loken Williams frowned, and said unwillingly:

"No, I have done meritorious service for the Parliament, and I have shed blood for the Commonwealth. You can't leave me alone and send me to Mansfield Prison like this! I'm going to the West to see the lords!"

The man in black laughed out loud as if he heard some big joke.

He pointed at the distorted face of Loken Williams, as if looking at a ridiculous clown, and said:

"We don't care about affection, thank you for being able to say such nonsense, Loken Williams!"

"Do you know that you have caused such a great loss to the lords, you should have died long ago. The lords of the Federal Parliament have arranged hundreds of ways for you to die. I should have come to execute you and collect your body! But you didn't die, do you know why? It's because the masters of the military industry have tried their best to protect you!"

Loken Williams gritted his teeth and retorted:

"It's just because there's a civil war and they can make money. It's just because there's interest!"

The man in black wiped away the tears from his laughter, took a puff of his cigarette, and suddenly asked blankly:

"Otherwise? In Colombia, what are you talking about if you don't talk about interests? Are you talking about affection?"

"After following the master for so long, you don't know until today that only dogs that can bite people can eat meat, right? The master will not develop feelings for dogs because they have raised dogs for more than ten years."

"I'm not a dog, I'm a human!" Loken Williams growled.

"Oh?"

The man in black showed an exaggerated exclamation expression, stretched out his hand, the cigarette butt floated above Loken Williams' head, and asked:

"That's right! Then let me ask you, Loken Williams, you raised those bodies that were sent to the Loken water tank laboratory for more than ten years until they were old enough to conduct experiments. When they were sent to the operating table, did you have any [affection] for them?"

The expression on Loken Williams' face froze for a moment.

The deep-rooted mask on his face has been maintained for decades, and the pride brought about by his rich knowledge seems to have been torn off by this sentence of soul torture at this very moment.

Does he have affection for those experimental subjects?

No, he only sees them as tools, he feeds them only because they are not yet old enough to be used and then discarded.In the beginning, he once felt deeply guilty for the hearty and smiling self in the graduation photo on the desk, but later, he put the graduation photo in the drawer, pressed it into the bottom of the cardboard box, and finally slipped away. Got on the track, fell into the garbage truck, and was thrown into the vast wilderness of this land.

After that, his conscience also returned to the wilderness, and only indifference returned.

It's just a bunch of experimental subjects, what's there to cherish?One batch is used up and another batch is used up. Wars are erupting everywhere on this land. Most of the tribes in Sargon and the tundra in Sami are willing to put the extra "family burden" for a meal or a knife. He will never worry about not being able to find the next one for the fertility machine he sold to them, as long as he has money.

How similar, then and then, just like this moment.As long as they have money, why don't the gentlemen worry about not being able to find the next Loken Williams to work for them?

The man in black sneered, put the cigarette butt in his hand on the desk, and asked:

"Then I'll ask again."

"Loken Williams, are you human?"

"..." Loken Williams fell silent.

The man in black shook his head, turned around boredly, and beckoned to his long-awaited subordinates to move the distraught Loken Williams away, and removed all the desk and boss chair.Before going out, he raised his head, took off the "Idle People Don't Come Near" sign at the door, put it in his arms, and shouted to the room where there was only one thing left:

"At eight o'clock tonight, a car will pick you up to Mansfield Prison, where you can start your new life, at least for the sake of so many experimental materials you have provided us over the years, you can still live come down."

The last "thing" in the room raised his head, looked at the empty company, and smiled self-deprecatingly.

Yes, compared to those experimental subjects sent to hell by his own hands, as a tool, he can at least survive after losing value.

Chapter 70 Betraying Myself

Columbia, wilderness.

As the most junior country on the land, Colombia still has a large number of undeveloped areas in its territory. These areas are classified as pioneering areas, and each monopoly giant is contracted separately and organizes personnel to carry out large-scale pioneering.

In the days to come, perhaps mobile cities will also be established here, forming settlements, villages, and towns, but at least for now, the pioneering area is no different from the wasteland, and it is still a vast and desolate scene.

Mansfield Prison does not belong to any national entity, but exists as a separate mobile city.To be honest, in a modern society where the concept of a country is deeply rooted, it is extremely rare to see such a mobile city that exists independently of the national entity and even maintains its neutrality to a large extent.

They have a common feature, that is, there is no threat, but they have a reputation and value.Like Kiesta's world-famous Obsidian Festival concert, or like Mansfield Prison's absolute neutrality for accepting criminals.

According to common sense, being imprisoned in Mansfield Prison is generally unlikely to make a comeback.But Fiona doesn't believe in common sense, and [brothers] don't believe in common sense either.

They have seen too many things that are against common sense. In common sense, would parents sell their children?In common sense, would human beings use the same kind as tools?In common sense, can several souls of life be squeezed into the same body?In common sense, is it possible for Fiona to be born?

Their own existence is against common sense, so how can they be bound by common sense?

"Loken Williams."

Fiona was holding her cute mobile phone wrapped in a pink cat-maow mobile phone case, and her eyes were flipping back and forth among the large paragraphs of news about Loken Williams on the display screen.The phone kept ringing, it was Hemer calling her, but she never answered.

【Brothers】I don't want to answer the phone call from a betrayer.

And Fiona didn't want to hang up on Ms. Hemer.

If possible, she also wants to go back to Ms. Hemer. The sandwiches made by Ms. Hemer are delicious, and she will tell her bedtime stories every night. Get up the spirit of the day.

But she can't go back.Even if the [brothers] didn't tell her, she knew that her lifespan was running out.

Drowsiness, lack of energy, Originium skills began to be released suddenly uncontrollably, and then suddenly interrupted, the voice in her head became noisy, and the [brothers] who cared about her on weekdays began to become anxious, even manic.Fiona is aware of these situations.

These are the sights that Fiona has seen countless times during her days in the laboratory.

She never forgot that period of time. Although she was the subject of the experiment—No. 001, she was never the first person to undergo the [Soul Link] operation. Before her, countless partners were taken out of the room , came back and began to become depressed, until finally quietly left in sleep, their condition is exactly the same as Fiona's now.

Originally, she thought that she was successful, that she had the number 001, and that she would not be like those friends who didn't even know their names. When chatting with others, their eyes suddenly lost focus, and then they became limp like a puddle of mud on the ground.

She didn't think she would look like that...

Fiona closed her eyes, trying to hold back the tears that welled up in her eyes.

She was afraid.

She is not an old man who has seen through life and death, she is just a child, and most of the souls in her body are also children.Even emperors and generals are afraid of death in the future, let alone a child, a child who is always accompanied by death?

For her, death is really like the howling cold wind in this wilderness, always by her side.

[Don't cry, Fiona.At least we are with you. 】

Only at this time, the anxious [brothers] in their minds would calm down and comfort the tearful Fiona.

But Fiona didn't need comfort.What she wants is to live, no matter what she wants to do or do, even if it is struggling on the ground, she also wants to live.

And this is something [brothers] can never satisfy her.

"Ding--"

There are a large number of abandoned machines of unknown origin all over the pioneering area. These machines are obsolete and look like they have even begun to weather. It is hard to imagine how long it will take for such a huge building to look like it is today.

Accompanied by a crisp sound, the tall circular compass on the top of the building seemed to be restarted and began to rotate.But neither the [brothers] nor Fiona was surprised by this, it was Fiona's Originium Skill that lost control again and activated it without authorization.

[Brothers] The voice in my head became noisy again, this time more anxious than last time.

[Our time is running out, hurry up! 】

【Are you sure this is the way?The wasteland is so big, could it be that they have found the wrong place? 】

【Why hasn't that bastard Loken Williams come yet? I'm going to impale him with steel bars! 】

"Shut up!" Fiona yelled. "Stop talking. Leave me alone."

The voice in my head suddenly fell silent.

[Brothers] They are still very accommodating to Fiona.Just like what they call themselves, they used to have their own names, but now, they all call themselves "brothers", not necessarily all of them are older than Fiona, but they are all doing their best to fulfill the It is my duty to protect this poor girl.

But what Fiona didn't know was that the reason [brothers] were so anxious was because the frequency of Originium skills getting out of control was getting higher and higher.

The Origin Stone skill comes from the Empire of Consciousness, the Origin Stone can carry the spirit, and the Consciousness Empire guides and projects the spiritual power of a person through the Origin Stone spelling unit, this is the so-called Origin Stone skill.The reason why the origin stone skills are so strange that even brothers and sisters may not be able to have the same origin stone skills is precisely because of the irreproducibility of the spirit.

Sarkaz's origin stone skills are powerful relying on the inheritance of blood and the blessing of witchcraft. Letania's origin stone skills are weird because of the accumulation of knowledge and the transformation of staffs. Precipitation with time.And Colombia has nothing, so they came up with a simple and crude solution

——Since one person's Originium skill is not strong enough, wouldn't a group of people be fine?Bind a group of people together and soon create a powerful warlock?

Such is the function of the consciousness restraint implant unit.

But if there is a bondage, there will be a break free. Every time Fiona’s Origin Stone skill loses control, it means that every soul in the consciousness bondage unit breaks free, and the spirit of breaking free will dissipate. At the same time, the Origin Stone skill will also be released. Soul, lose a little energy, and Fiona will be weaker by a little.But at the same time, dissipating means that there is no need to stick to the restrained release of power. Every dissipation is an origin stone spell beyond the norm!This kind of spell will continue to be unstoppable until the last soul dissipates and Fiona dies!

[Brothers] are anxious because their numbers are constantly decreasing, and the number of Originium skills getting out of control is becoming more and more frequent, which means that their numbers are constantly decreasing.Their days are numbered and neither is Fiona's!

[They] are real, can't wait.

【Fiona, no matter what, this is our last attempt. 】

[Brothers] said:

[After this attempt, no matter whether we win or lose, we will disappear in the end, and only you will be left at that time.Whether you want to go back to Ms. Hemer or start a new life alone, we can no longer restrict you.So, just this once, let's do our best, shall we? 】

Will the [brothers] "leave" after the fight with Williams?

Fiona opened her mouth wordlessly.

She doesn't want [brothers] to leave, the symbiotic relationship has lasted for so long, she has long been used to life with them by their side.But she didn't want to stop it, because if it wasn't for the [brothers], she wouldn't have sneaked out of the house and ran into the wilderness to meet that frightening man again.

After a long silence, she finally nodded.

"Don't lie."

【certainly. 】

"Then I promise you, this time, do my best."

[Brothers] released a gratifying emotion.

Did they lie?It's just a lie, Fiona doesn't know it at all.

The so-called "doing our best" means completely releasing all of their survivors.

And how could Fiona ignore it?

Alienated souls are as they call themselves, they are the most Colombian Colombians, besides selfishness, betrayal, is also something that goes deep into the marrow.

Even, they can betray themselves.

Chapter 71 Kelsey is a Fast Learner

Wayne used to feel a bit like Lelouch.

You see, they are all heirs of the British Empire in another world, but they were not the first heirs at the beginning, and they all came to power by means of a coup d'état.They both have a younger sister, who is very cute and loved by everyone.They also all have an ability similar to the spirit of speech, which can manipulate others.

But now, Wayne knows, not to mention other aspects, in terms of this ability similar to the ability to control the spirit of words, his origin stone skills are more or less conservative compared to Lu Luxiu's geass.After all, he can't be like geass, able to control others through the screen.The people controlled by him must be within the range of his mental power, and no matter how strong Wayne is, he still cannot cover the entire Terra with his mental power.

So even if he knew that Fiona was on the wilderness of the frontier area, he couldn't pinpoint Fiona's exact location.Not to mention directly ordering Fiona over the phone to make her come back obediently.

What's more, the kid Fiona wouldn't even answer his phone calls.

After searching for nearly an hour with no results, Wayne looked helplessly at Kelsey beside him:

"How do you think this kid knows that Loken Williams will go that way? This is information that even we can't find out."

Of course, the prisoner's escort route will not be announced in the news media. Fiona, like Wayne, can only get the news that the criminal Loken Williams will be escorted to Mansfield Prison to serve his sentence. Enjoy its prison life during the 3000-year sentence.I also don't know the way, Wayne can't find Fiona, but Fiona has already started to guard the prison vehicle, how did she do it?

Kelsey pondered for a while, she was also thinking about this question just now.When Wayne asked, she just expressed her guess:

"Maybe it's because of Fiona's Originium skills."

"Her origin stone skills?" Wayne was taken aback by the words, he had never seen Fiona release the origin stone skills.

Kelsey was apparently aware of this too, explaining:

"According to my observation, Fiona's origin stone skill is an ability to manipulate iron elements."
