Cecilia was so angry that she was shaking all over.
She didn't have time to think about why a clone could snatch Cheng Yue away. At this moment, her anger and heartache even overwhelmed her fear of Huo Chao.
At this time, the black sickle turned into a ring bracelet and circled her hand. A soft female voice with a black jade hue came out,
"Leah, Elder Mandela has gone to intercept them personally. Do we want to join them?"
"-No."
Cecilia closed her eyes and took a deep breath.
The sharp nails dug into her palms, and the pain made her barely calm down. Because it was obvious that even if she deployed the mecha Moyu, she would not be able to defeat Chengyue who had double S.
And no matter whether it is Chengyue or the experimental subject itself, her goal is to get them back.
"Lady Cecilia!"
At this time, Ace came quickly with a group of believers. When he came over, he saw the mechanical warrior twitching and convulsing. He looked solemn and anxious. Just as he was about to say something, Cecilia raised her hand to stop him.
"Notify everyone to immediately activate the outer defensive barrier of the Holy White Tower. We must not let him escape."
Cecilia narrowed her eyes. She had just seen the experimental subject grabbing the researchers and asking Bernard about the elevator. She also heard someone tell him about the elevator. Because of this, Cecilia was able to wait in advance.
"If nothing unexpected happens to the experimental subject, Elder Mandela will take over the capture mission. We will go and guard Mr. Bernard now."
"yes."
The cold and beautiful archbishop stood up suddenly and walked out in high heels. Ace immediately followed and said quickly:
"Lady Cecilia, I will immediately arrange for someone to recover Kuru."
"No need."
As Cecilia passed by the mechanical warrior twitching on the ground, she glanced at the hideous, gray face, and a trace of disgust flashed across her eyes.
"Useless garbage, no need."
Ace was slightly startled, showing a somewhat surprised look. He subconsciously glanced at the man on the ground.
Few people know that Chris is conscious. When he was transformed, except for his head and upper body, the rest of his body was mechanical, and Cecilia specifically requested that he retain his consciousness.
But all these years, he has been awake, even able to feel pain and aware of everything that happened. The only difference is that his vocal cords were removed, so he couldn't speak, and a chip was implanted in his spinal nerves, forcing him to obey Cecilia's orders like a mechanical puppet.
Therefore, only a few people know that Cecilia's main purpose in transforming Chris was not to enhance his combat power, but revenge and humiliation.
This woman is extremely ruthless.
Those who are not ruthless cannot survive in this cannibalistic church. Although Ace is an alpha, his fighting talent is very low, so Leinster does not think highly of him. So Ace observed for a long time and finally chose Cecilia, who was weak at the time.
He was very satisfied with the investment results.
Cecilia has now crossed Leinster.
"Yes, Lady Cecilia."
Ace quickly withdrew his gaze and quickly and quietly followed Cecilia's pace. As the group hurried past, they did not notice a thin figure curled up in the wreckage.
He Zhun hid inside, staring expressionlessly at the twitching mechanical warrior on the ground.
The man was no longer convulsing. He was dying, his head twisted in an incredible way because of the broken neck. Inside the broken neck was a wriggling golden stigmata, which was like a living thread sewing up his severed neck muscles and throat, maintaining his last chance of life.
Chris's eyes were bloodshot and he stared at the woman who was being walked away by countless people. Pain, resentment, humiliation, and endless negative emotions devoured his heart.
However, the massive loss of blood made his vision and mind unclear.
despair.
A person's feet appeared in the field of vision.
The man's bloodshot eyes turned upwards and saw a strange yet subtly familiar face. But he couldn't remember it.
Because a large amount of blood spurted out of the artery, Chris's head was almost completely submerged in it. He Zhun squatted down and looked at him carefully, "Hehe... Hehe..."
Then he felt the hideous scar on the back of the man's neck.
"I remember your scar. It's been twenty-seven years. I've always remembered it."
His tone was calm, revealing a hint of realization.
"No wonder... No wonder I have been looking for you in the Illusionary God Cult for more than ten years and couldn't find you. It turns out that Cecilia made you like this..."
He Zhun stroked the scar that had already faded and said softly,
"Remember, your mission is to get rid of He Qichu's family. I am the child whose belly you cut open with a knife."
"… "
Chris' eyes widened instantly, and his bloodshot eyeballs almost bulged out.
He Zhun would never forget the night when a group of men in imperial uniforms broke into his home and said that his father had committed treason.
He Qichu thought it was just an act, so he didn't resist or struggle, and even called his family members and surrendered voluntarily.
[It's okay, Xiaozhun, don't be afraid.]
Under the soothing gaze of his parents, the young He Zhun held his sleeping brother and walked out of the room anxiously. But before he walked over, he saw the leading man in military uniform stabbing his father's heart from behind.
His mother had no time to react before her neck was broken.
[There are two smaller ones.]
When He Zhun heard this, he didn't even have time to feel sad about the death of his parents, because the brother in his arms was taken away by them.
His younger brother was called Xiaoyun, who was not even three years old. He died instantly before he had time to cry. Then He Zhun saw the bloody long knife raised high and pointed at him.
At this moment, the man lying on the ground suddenly stood up.
He Qichu was indeed a fragile and powerless beta, but when he fought desperately, even Chris was surprised.
It was this that caused the knife that was stabbing He Zhun to deflect. So the blade that was supposed to pierce the child's heart only opened a long gash in his abdomen.
Young He Zhun fell in a pool of blood, and he saw golden, parasitic tentacle-like things coming out of his father's body. Then, the same thing came out of the man in military uniform.
He Zhun was in so much pain that he couldn't speak. In his blurry vision, he only saw his father cutting off a piece of flesh from the back of the man's neck.
The whole world is filled with blood, just...large areas of red.
Later, his father died. He Zhun closed his eyes and heard the man in military uniform turn on the communicator and say.
[Mission accomplished, you can stop now.]
He Zhun lay on the ground with his eyes closed for a long time, until he felt that the blood in his body had cooled down, but he tried hard to control himself and not fall asleep. After he was sure that those people had really left, he tried hard to crawl into the room.
—There is a treatment cabin inside.
His father was an excellent doctor, so their home had a medical room and a treatment cabin. It was only 27 meters from the living room to his father's medical room.
That is the distance between life and death.
The young child left a 27-meter long trail of blood, and then survived.
Two hours later, He Zhun waited for Zhou Jiuya and pretended to be unconscious. After waking up, he also said that he remembered nothing and knew nothing.
Later, He Zhun stayed in the hospital for more than a year, and then Jiang Jinsheng said he wanted to adopt him despite Zhou Jiuya's opposition.
He remembered that the man was very, very nervous at the time and said that if He Zhun was unwilling, then he would find a very, very good family for the child.
The weak child was silent, then he grabbed Jiang Jinsheng's hand and said to the man:
[Uncle Jiang, I want to go home with you.]
At that moment, he saw the silver-haired man almost crying. But He Zhun was calm. He chose Jiang Jinsheng because his power and status would allow him to obtain better resources. Moreover, the other party seemed to have something similar to his father.
He Zhun had heard his parents quarreling before, and his mother cried hysterically, saying that he had gambled their family's lives for his friend.
At that time, He Zhun didn’t understand, but later he understood.
—Mother is wise.
It's a pity that she couldn't stop it.
Entering the Jiang family, He Zhun saw Jiang Ci, the child was the same age as his brother, small and soft, very cute, but with a bad temper. But when he did something wrong, he would cry and apologize, very well behaved.
In fact, He Zhun hated Jiang Jinsheng at first and hated his appearance. Jiang Jinsheng felt it, so he always felt guilty and tried his best to be nice to him, even giving him more preference and care than Jiang Ci.
A year later, He Zhun saw the man dying. Even at that time, Jiang Jinsheng was still apologizing to him. He Zhun knew it was not Jiang Jinsheng's fault. He liked this uncle Jiang very much and was afraid and sad about losing him.
But at that moment, he had no way to tell the other party that it was okay.
In fact, He Zhun knew that with the help of Zhou Jiuya, Pei Changyun and others, his road to revenge might be easier, at least he would not have to use his body as a bargaining chip.
He doesn't hate, he just resents.
Blame Pei Changyun's plan for not being thorough enough, and blame Zhou Jiuya for coming so late.
So later on, He Zhun's revenge was always carried out alone.
Always, always, always alone.
Now, He Zhun finally found the man in military uniform. He Zhun had disguised himself at that time, so the face he remembered was useless. But the scar on the back of his neck would not change.
It turns out that the man's name is Chris. But he has been turned into a mechanical puppet by Cecilia, and now he looks like he is about to die.
The healing ability of the stigmata was limited, and it was obvious that Cecilia had not fed the stigmata on his body for a long time. It seemed that she had long planned to let him die. But He Zhun would not let him die so quickly.
"Are you surprised that I'm not dead?"
"Don't be afraid, I won't kill you yet."
He Zhun reached out and straightened Chris's head, so that the stigmata inside could repair his broken throat and ensure his breathing. Then the young man took out a tube of medicine from the inner layer of his clothes, installed a needle, and pierced it into the man's artery without mercy.
The next second, the intense pain caused the dying Chris to convulse wildly. This is a drug that stimulates memory, but it will cause great pain.
"I also want to know, who were you communicating with at that time?"
"Huh..."
The man's eyes widened in horror as he saw He Zhun reaching out to him, with golden stigmata extending from the young man's pale fingertips and piercing his temple.
Just like when Yulia penetrated Ye Shu's brain and obtained a brief and blurry instant picture on Tiandong Star, He Zhun could also do this. However, the Forbidden Abyss Core left a deep impression on Ye Shu's brain, and Chris probably didn't remember things that long ago, so He Zhun could only use drugs to assist.
At this moment, there was a loud explosion from above, and countless broken walls and debris fell down like a rainstorm.
boom!!!
Forty floors above, Cheng Yue suddenly shrank in the dazzling snow light, smashed the wall, and smashed in like a cannonball. The boy rolled on the ground and unloaded the kinetic energy on his body.
Huo Xianfeng said that he was here to kill people, so naturally he would not get entangled with those mechas outside.
No matter what the other party's plan is, Bernard is the key person. As long as they kill him, their plan cannot be carried out. Even if there is no such plan, the old man is still on Huo Xianfeng's death list.
But at this moment, when he rushed in and looked up, he ran into several high-ranking believers head-on. The other party opened fire without saying a word.
Because of the unexpected strength of the experimental subject, permission to use hot weapons has been issued. Huo Xianfeng was a little slow and was shot twice, but fortunately it was not a vital part. After a few seconds, the holy scar pushed the bullet out of the flesh.
At this moment, the young man did not even turn his head back. He reached out to grab the air and a white gun shot out from the ruins at high speed. The young man caught it in an instant and then used his backhand to sweep it away with countless electric currents.
A silver-blue fan-shaped light and shadow is gorgeous and dazzling.
The people on the opposite side didn't even have time to react, and they were cut in half in the next second. Huo Xianfeng was almost crazy with killing, hatred filled his mind, and even the means and methods of plundering lives became more and more bloody and brutal.
But he didn't care at all. It was just a pity that it was not his own body now, otherwise he would not have to snatch Bai Min's mecha.
At this time, Huo Xianfeng raised his head and took a cold look. The top part of the Holy White Tower was a hollow ring-shaped building, so he could see the situation on the upper floors.
Then soon, the boy found his target.
—Bernard.
The other party was still fleeing in panic, surrounded by a group of believers.
The young man licked the corner of his torn lip. The sweet taste of blood, the excitement of hunting prey, and the embarrassed look of his frightened enemy made him feel extremely refreshed and happy.
After confirming the target, he paused for a second, then raised his spear. The silver surface of the spear suddenly lit up with a dazzling blue light and quickly charged. The moment the charging was completed, Huo Xianfeng threw it at the man.
Buzz!!!
The spear's extremely fast speed even made a sharp sonic boom in the air.
Just as she was about to approach Bernard, the next second, Cheng Yue was blocked by a black sickle.
boom!
There was a loud bang from weapons colliding.
Cecilia held the silver spear tightly, and her palm was torn again, bleeding. She knew very well Bernard's position and importance in the church. If the latter died, it would not be like the last time when Leinster was just seriously injured in the Discipline Hall. Instead, the Pope would definitely kill her without any surprise.
Cecilia is not afraid of death, but she cannot die now.
“Stop him!!!”
Bernard growled in his old, frightened voice,
"Stop him immediately!!!"
Before Cecilia replied, she suddenly felt the pressure like Mount Tai in front of her lighten. But this was not a good thing, because the experimental subject appeared on this floor at some point and held Chengyue again.
"If you dare to stop me again, Cecilia..."
Huo Xianfeng glanced at her coldly, his murderous intent undisguised.
—I’ll kill you.
Considering Bai Min and the fact that she had let Jiang Ci off in Mingcheng, Huo Xianfeng had held back. Otherwise, he would have had the chance to kill her the moment he snatched Chengyue away.
Cecilia was startled, but at this moment, she suddenly saw a familiar figure appear behind the boy.
At the same time, Huo Xianfeng also caught the extra shadow in the woman's pupil. He immediately drew his gun and turned back to defend.
The sound of metal weapons colliding was very harsh.
The sharp steel claws were firmly clasped on the gun. If Huo Xianfeng had not blocked it immediately, he would have been stabbed through the heart.
—It’s Mandela.
But this attack was not the end. The steel claw suddenly pulled horizontally and headed straight for the boy's hand holding the gun. The sound of the claws was so sharp that it was almost unbearable for humans. It was even more terrifying than fingernails scratching a blackboard.
Sparks burst out with crackling sounds.
Huo Xianfeng was forced to change hands. At this time, he was sandwiched between the two men, and his movements were inevitably delayed. At this time, Mandela shouted,
"Cecilia!"
The woman woke up from her daze and immediately stepped forward to join the fight.
It was just a mission to capture an experimental subject, but it turned out to be such a big deal. If they went up a few levels, they would have to reach the Pope. So now, they must capture him here.
Mandela's joining instantly put the young man at a disadvantage. This body was only thirteen or fourteen years old, and he could get here because of the bonus of special holy marks, but at this time, Huo Xianfeng clearly felt that his body's strength had been overdrawn.
He struggled to resist the attacks of two people. The healing power of the stigmata was no longer able to repair the increasing number of wounds on his body.
Damn it!
Huo Xianfeng caught a glimpse of Bernard's leaving back and his face became gloomy.
—Just a little bit.
"Cheng Yue!!!"
The young man suddenly shouted, and the spear suddenly burst into a dazzling light. At this time, the two were shocked, thinking that Huo Xianfeng was going to deploy the mecha again. But in fact, Huo Xianfeng was just faking a shot. At the moment when the two were stunned, he quickly broke through the defense and shot at Bernard.
Buzz!
Mandela reacted and immediately stepped forward to stop it, but it was too late, he only touched the handle of the gun a little bit. But this also caused the spear that should have pierced Bernard's neck to pierce Bernard's shoulder, "buzzing" and nailing him to the ground.
“Ahhh!”
An old and hoarse scream sounded in the distance.
But this is not the end. The silver-white gun body was instantly charged with energy, and tiny arcs of electricity appeared around it.
Mandela suddenly realized what he wanted to do and immediately ran towards Bernard with his eyes bloodshot.
"No!!!"
Huo Xianfeng watched this scene coldly. He grinned, revealing a sinister and bloody smile.
The next second, thousands of electric currents suddenly poured down from the gun, engulfing Bernard's body in the blink of an eye. The burst of light was so dazzling that it was almost impossible to open one's eyes.
