Poseidon in Tomorrow's Ark

It can be said that Black Snake's plan failed abruptly, and the reason was the stupid actions of the five internal guards.

"Although we can't proceed as planned..." Black Snake bit his lip. Although the development of the situation was beyond his expectations, but...

While dodging, Black Snake continued to accumulate fireballs in his hands, and finally smashed them hard into the ground. The exploding flames were like an iron tower, and the Patriot was slightly repelled.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Black Snake created flames under his feet and rushed straight towards the operating room.

"As long as we forcefully activate the mobile city to lock the route and completely destroy the control room, it will be extremely difficult to change the movement of the mobile city through external means."

But at this moment, the black snake seemed to hear the sound of chains in its ears, and then, the black snake felt the piercing pain coming from its body.

"Hello or good afternoon, Tallulah no, Miss Black Snake." Xiyue's voice sounded along with the sound of sliding chains, "Your consultation time is up."

"What!" Black Snake fell to the ground, struggling hard, looking at Xiyue in horror, "How could you suddenly appear here?"

"It's normal for me to appear anywhere, right?" Xiyue looked at the black snake lying on the ground with a smile on her face, "Hello, it's our first meeting."

Violent flames erupted instantly, but the moment the flames erupted, they waned again and could only burn close to Talullah's body.

The ordinary-looking iron chain wrapped around Tallulah's body did not move at all despite the constant burning of the flames. Even if someone touched it, they would find that the surface of the chain was cold, as if the flames wrapped around it were all an illusion.

"Who are you?!" Shuangxing looked at Xiyue who suddenly appeared, her face full of alertness. She was guarding at the elevator entrance, so how come she didn't notice anyone coming in.

"Froststar, be quiet." The red light in the Patriot's eyes stopped, and he walked to Froststar, raised his hand and gently stroked Froststar's head.

"Old stubborn man, what are you doing?" Froststar raised her hand and tried to slap the Patriot's hand away. "Isn't this the time to relax?"

"It's okay. Another god has come. This matter is not something we can interfere with."

"God?" Frost Star raised her head to look, and Xiyue just raised her head and waved her hand at them with a smile.

"Ah!" Tallulah, who was bound by chains, tried hard to raise a flame, but no matter how hard she tried, the flame would dissipate in an instant.

"Who are you?!" Black Snake stared at Xiyue, "Why do you want to interfere in this matter?"

"I just can't stand it anymore." Xiyue exerted a little strength and directly threw the black snake away. The chain loosened, leaving only the sharp nail head still stuck in the black snake's body.

The black snake wanted to take this opportunity to escape, but as soon as he exerted force and the chain straightened, an unbearable pain instantly hit his body.

"What! This chain!" The black snake looked down at the nail head that had pierced into its body. The nail head was smooth and round, without any barbs, but it still felt a sharp pain.

"Where do you want to run, Black Snake?" Xiyue looked at Black Snake, who was half-kneeling due to the severe pain, with a smile on his face, raised his hand, grabbed the chain and pulled it again.

"Ah!" The chain moved slowly, but strangely, the sharp nail head did not move at all, as if the chain was pulling something else.

[Soul Chain]

[Type: Weapon]

[B+ medical privileges can be purchased]

Xiyue had a smile on her face and slowly pulled the chain in her hand: "Now shut up Black Snake, we want the real Tallulah to speak."

Chapter 79: The Rekindled Flame

"Now shut up Black Snake, we're going to let the real Tallulah speak."

The chain wrapped around Xiyue's hand slowly turned, and the black snake lying on the ground let out bursts of painful screams, and a black breath was slowly pulled out of its body by the chain.

As the black gas grew more and more, like a double image, another figure of Tallulah was pierced on the chains and was forcibly pulled out of Tallulah's body.

As the figure was pulled out, Tallulah, who was struggling on the ground, seemed to have finally gotten a chance to breathe after a long period of suffocation. She lay on the ground gasping for breath, occasionally accompanied by some coughs that came out of her throat.

"Cough cough cough!!!"

Tallulah was lying on the ground, her whole body trembling as if in spasm. She wanted to speak, but her throat had lost control and she kept coughing. The coughing was so violent that it seemed as if she was going to cough out her lungs.

"Tallulah, no, just hold on." Patriot frowned under his mask as he looked at Tallulah who was coughing violently on the ground.

"It's probably a side effect I didn't know about." Xiyue looked down at the chain wrapped around her hand, "But it should be okay. I think the blow I just made was not too severe."

"It seems that it still cannot be used for treatment. However, after all, this thing is not a treatment tool but a weapon."

After all, in the system's annotations, this thing is classified as a weapon, not a prop or surgical instrument. As for what is said in the notes, it can be used to treat schizophrenia.

As for the usage just mentioned, theoretically it is possible, but in terms of operability, it is absolutely unnecessary.

After this thing is poked into the body of the person who needs treatment, it will search for the abnormal place in the other person's soul bit by bit, and then slowly pull that part out.

This is the so-called method for treating multiple personality disorder mentioned in the note.

To be honest, Xiyue feels that it is more like torture than treatment. The so-called treatment is more like a by-product of torture.

During the pulling process, you must always be careful not to use too much force. You must pull slowly. If you are not careful, you will tear the other person's soul apart. At that time, it may not be treatment, but murder.

Even if the process is completed, the best result is to cough violently on the ground like Tallulah, and this does not even take into account the pain that needs to be endured.

Using this thing as a medical supply or for treatment may not be as effective as stabbing the opponent with a knife.

So in the final analysis, this thing is a weapon after all, and the more appropriate way to use it is to directly pull out the opponent's soul or tear it apart.

"Why? Why do you want to interfere in these matters? They have nothing to do with you." The black snake that was forcibly pulled out of Tallulah's body and strung on chains was facing Tallulah's face, staring at Xiyue.

"No reason. If you need a reason to hurt people, it's like you want to drag ordinary people from two countries into the flames of war just for the so-called revitalization of Ursus."

Xiyue looked at the black snake on the chain and replied casually: "Then my rescue is only because I couldn't stand what you did, and I wanted to do it, and you couldn't refuse."

"Can you please help me pull this thing out?" Tallulah, who was lying on the ground, seemed to have finally recovered. Although she was still breathing heavily, she was finally able to speak.

As soon as Tallulah regained her mobility, she tried to pull out the nail stuck in her shoulder, but it seemed to have no barbs. Logically, the nail should have been easily pulled out, but no matter how hard Tallulah tried, there was no movement.

"Oh, you mean this?" Xiyue shook the chain on her hand casually. "Unfortunately, it's not possible for now. After all, this thing hasn't been completely pulled out of you yet."

"..." Tallulah took a look at the black snake strung on the chain and found that there was indeed a black aura connected to her body.

Froststar carefully bypassed the black snake that was pierced by the chain and looked at Tallulah who was still breathing heavily: "Are you okay, Tallulah?"

"Except for the pain all over my body, everything else is fine, probably." Tallulah shook her head and looked at the black snake in her image, "...Long time no see."

"Indeed, long time no see, my daughter." Black Snake turned his head and looked at Tallulah, "It seems that you have a lot to say, but I told you a long time ago that we had a bet, and you lost."

“……” Tallulah gritted her teeth and lowered her head. Just as Black Snake said, she lost, so the integration movement that she had worked so hard to establish became the terrorist organization it is today.

Her body was occupied by a black snake, but that didn't mean she was unaware of everything that happened in the outside world, or that she actually did all those things herself.

"Okay, Black Snake, with your diode theory, it's not bad to fool Tallulah." Xiyue looked at Black Snake with empty eyes, "But I have to say that your psychology is really amazing."

"If a person worships another person too much, then that person can control him by using the worship of others." Xiyue shook the chains on her hands. "Of course, Tallulah can't be said to worship you. It's better to say that she hates you very much, and you borrowed her hatred for you."

"Eh? Borrowing my disgust for him?" Tallulah raised her head and looked at Xiyue.

"You really didn't notice anything at all?" Xiyue looked at Tallulah's clear eyes and shook her head. "How can I explain this to you?"

"Well, why do I feel like you think I'm stupid?" Tallulah looked at Xiyue and scratched her head.

"I think it's probably not an illusion." Frost Star looked at Tallulah on the side. It seemed that after making sure that she was okay, he breathed a sigh of relief and had the energy to make a joke.

Xiyue watched the interaction between the two and smiled, "Let's put it this way, if this guy told you that his policy could protect the residents of a place, what would you think?"

As soon as Xiyue finished speaking, Tallulah immediately replied without hesitation: "Of course there is something wrong with his policies. He can't do such a thing."

"That's right, but this is also what he wants you to do. Your disgust makes you naturally reject everything he says." Xiyue looked at Tallulah and nodded. "It is precisely because he knows that the choice you make will deviate from his education, so he knows everything you will do."

"He knows you want to protect the infected, but the infected in Ursus are extremely xenophobic. They don't dare to believe in the protection and kindness of non-infected people. You don't want to accept his education and hate the infected with him. You want to protect them, so you have only one choice to make."

At this point, even Tallulah understood what Xiyue meant. She looked down at her hands in a daze: "The only way is for me to become one of them..."

"Become another infected person." The voice of the black snake sounded here. It turned its head hanging on the chain and looked at Tallulah with a mocking look.

"What an unexpected way to do it, isn't it, Tallulah?"

"You, you..." Tallulah looked at the mockery in Black Snake's eyes. The words Black Snake just said were what Coce had said when she said that she had become an infected person and all of Coce's plans against him had failed.

At that time, Tallulah naively believed that she had ruined all of Cochise's plans for her, and that sentence was an expression of her helplessness towards her unexpected behavior.

But now it seems that she is the fly that has fallen into the spider web without knowing it.

"There is nothing much to say about what happened after this. I am not a conspirator, nor am I a military strategist. There is only one thing I can tell you."

"The conspiracy can be realized because someone wants it to be realized. Conversely, the integration movement exists because the integration movement needs to exist."

"...They want a war." said the patriot standing behind Xiyue.

"Well, you guys think about this matter yourselves. I'm not a strategist, I'm just a doctor." Xiyue casually responded to the patriot behind him.

"Why?" At this moment, Tallulah murmured.

"what?"

"Why are you helping me?" Tallulah looked up at Xiyue, "I don't understand."

"There are two reasons. First, I can't stand it anymore. Unwarranted hatred is being ignited." Xiyue looked at Tallulah and raised two fingers. "This hatred is burning many innocent people. This hatred will spread to further places, and more innocent people will be dragged into this unwarranted hatred."

"You want to stop this from happening?"

Facing Tallulah's question, Xiyue nodded: "I am a doctor, of course I don't want to see this happen, and the second reason is that I also want to save the infected. Even if it is unwarranted hatred, the current integration movement is still the first flame that is burning."

"But I failed. I didn't do anything." Talking about this, Tallulah became lost again.

At this time, a dull sound of metal collision was heard. Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw the Patriot smashing the end of the spear in his hand heavily on the ground.

"Tallulah, stand up. You look so miserable." The Patriot looked at the lost Tallulah in front of him. Could one hear a hint of kindness in his stiff tone?

“How can you be a leader in the integration movement if you are seen by others?”

"Eh?!" Tallulah looked at the Patriot in surprise, "But I feel so sorry for so many people. Ino and Sasha became like that because of me."

"This... um!" Black Snake was about to sneer when Xiyue at the side shook his wrist, and the chain circled around his neck, tightly holding his neck.

"Shut up, I haven't told you to talk yet."

"I once recognized you on the snowfield. The same is true now." The Patriot looked at the lost Tallulah under the mask.

"Your path is not wrong, it's just that your method is a little extreme." Xiyue also smiled and said at this moment, "You just lack a certain program, and then, under the leadership of this guy, you went astray."

As Xiyue spoke, she pulled the chain in her hand. The black snake, whose neck was strangled by the chain, let out a painful cry.

At that time, the black snake whose neck was pulled was still laughing sarcastically: "Haha, Tallulah, my daughter, do you still think you can succeed? You can't do anything. Only twisted flowers will bloom on this twisted land."

"You can't do anything. No one infected in this land expects to be saved." Black Snake's throat was strangled, as if uttering countless malice. "You think you are saving me, but isn't that just slavery like me? No one expects you to save me."

"The integration movement is destined to be achieved through violence. Your justice can only be pushed to a climax by violence!"

"But someone will care." Tallulah stood up and looked at the black snake in front of her. "I accept all your teachings. I admit that people in this world are not inherently good."

"Perhaps the infected people in this land have never expected to be saved, but it's not because they refuse to be saved, but because no one has ever tried to save them before."

As Tallulah continued speaking, the light in her eyes became brighter and brighter: "I want to be the first fire, whether I can succeed or not."

"The flame has been lit. There will definitely be people who want to be saved. There will definitely be people who stand up, hold up torches, and together light up this dark land."

“………” Black Snake’s mocking face froze, and he stared at Tallulah in front of him with a dazed look.

"Koschei, we standing here are the proof." Talola's face became even more frozen, and there was a flickering light in his eyes, as if there was a flame burning in them.

"Tsk tsk tsk." Xiyue looked at Tallulah in front of her, and then looked at the black snake with a frozen face beside her.

"Black Snake, your consequentialist sophistry that human nature is evil seems to have been overturned by another consequentialist theory." Xiyue's eyes were full of satisfaction. "I can endure darkness, but that's only because I have never seen light."

“As long as there is one person who lights the spark of light, even if the land is truly dark and boundless, as long as such light is seen by others, he will be remembered.”

“…………”The originally arrogant black snake now seemed to be strangled by an iron chain at the throat and did not make any sound.

"In that case, come and take it." Xiyue looked at the silent black snake and smiled, untied the chain wrapped around her hand, and threw it to Tallulah.

"You gave me a satisfactory answer, even better than I expected." Xiyue looked at Tallulah who took the chain and smiled, "This land is indeed worth saving, both for this land and the people on it."

"You have given me an answer I never wanted to hear. Your consultation is over, Miss Tallulah."

"Thank you." Tallulah looked at the chain in her hand and the still silent black snake, "Anything else you want to say?"

"..." The silent black snake looked at Tallulah, who seemed to be glowing with her back to the setting sun, "I will wait. I will wait for your unrealistic wishes to be shattered again. The curse of the black snake will definitely accompany you."

"Well, that's it." Tallulah slowly pulled the chain in her hand. With a slight snapping sound, the last connection between the Black Snake and Tallulah was also broken at this moment.

"The flame of a new life has been rekindled. This visit has brought some unexpected surprises."
