Ke Lan walked up to him and gave him a gentle push. His tall body fell straight down. With his body at the center, a large spider-web-like crack pattern suddenly appeared on the marble tiles on the ground.

"...What's going on?" Sofia asked in astonishment, looking at the corpse on the ground.

"The bomb in his head seems to have exploded." Ke Lan squatted down and took off Gun Zuo's helmet. He saw dark red plasma constantly seeping out from the gaps in the cyborg's prosthetic parts, flowing to the ground and spreading rapidly along the cracks in the tiles.

"Yes...you did it?" Sofia looked at Ke Lan in surprise.

"No." Ke Lan shook her head naturally, "...I didn't do anything...As for why the bomb exploded, it's probably because of a virus."

"Infected with a virus?"

"It's probably some kind of computer virus that interferes with the detonation program's judgment mechanism... I can only say that we are really lucky." Ke Lan wanted to pick up the spear, but found that the weight of the spear was over 100 kilograms, so he had to give up.

"I don't believe it." Zofia's tone regained its composure, "In fact, he was killed by you."

"Believe it or not, I really didn't do anything anyway. You saw it, I was almost stabbed through by this gun. If I had a way to kill him, I would have done it a long time ago." Ke Lan said, kicking the corpse with his foot. "Such a complete corpse is really good evidence."

"Yes." Zofia nodded and said, "If this evidence is used well, it can indeed bring a big trouble to the Arasaka Group... But, did you really not kill him? I always feel like you are lying to me."

"Please, why should I lie to you?" Ke Lan walked quickly to the secret door that was cut open by the gun. "Miss, don't worry about this. Don't forget, there are at least two attackers alive in the villa besides us. We are still in danger now."

"..." Sofia bit her lips lightly, looked at Ke Lan with complicated eyes, and finally said nothing.

Ke Lan pushed the bed in the safe house to the secret door, and the raised bed board just blocked the cut on the door. Then, they pressed a pile of debris behind the bed board - the other two attackers were just ordinary people, they did not have the abnormal strength of the Six Warriors, and it was impossible for them to knock away the obstacles at once. As long as Ke Lan heard the noise of them clearing the obstacles, he could shoot directly at the door and kill them.

After doing all this, Ke Lan took out his cell phone as usual and took a look, only to find that there were six missed calls on the phone that he had just muted. Four of them were from Hound's numbers, and the other two were from the landlines of Layton and Ivan's clinic respectively.

After meeting with Maginot's agent, Hound and the others should have returned to Ivan's clinic together, but now he has called me six times, and he used different numbers... Considering the news that Manstein's son was kidnapped, it seems that something must have happened at the clinic...

The Arasaka Group... no, it should be said that it is a heretical sect. They are taking multi-line actions and attacking all targets at the same time... and their target is the survivors of the Leviathan incident and those who have close ties with the survivors.

If before this, Ke Lan still had doubts about Zofia's guess, then after he used Alpha language to detonate the bomb in the left brain of the gun, this doubt had completely disappeared... The Arasaka Group not only has an inseparable relationship with that heretical sect, but even... that other "heir" is likely to be the actual controller of the Arasaka Group now.

As for the managers of the Arasaka family in the open, they are either a group of loyal believers or a group of puppets who are no different from the walking dead.

But what Ke Lan never understood was, that person...what was his purpose in doing this?

This group of people were just like the religious extremists of the old era. They had no political demands, nor were they pursuing any practical interests. Killing and destruction seemed to be their desired goals... This was something Ke Lan couldn't understand.

Do these believers really believe that the "great true God" mentioned in the Alpha civilization can give them a better future?

But even if the believers are like this, then what is the purpose of the founder of this sect... the "successor" who is so similar to himself?

If the purpose is to secretly develop believers and expand their own power, then they should not take such radical and violent actions. This will only lead to a premature outbreak of direct conflict between the heretic sect and the Ark. Judging from the current power comparison between the two sides, the heretic sect is completely vulnerable to the Ark... It is not an exaggeration to describe it as "hitting a rock with an egg."

This was definitely not an impulse, nor was it a meaningless revenge... But Ke Lan had no idea of ​​the other party's true purpose...

The most unpredictable opponents are those who do not play by the rules, and the leader of this heretical sect is obviously such a guy.

Ke Lan thought about it and decided to call back. Fortunately, the Hound answered the call just two seconds after the ringing.

"Ke Lan?" The Hound's voice came from the other end of the line.

"It's me. Zofia's villa was attacked by assassins, but fortunately the situation has been stabilized. Did something happen on your side as well?"

"Yeah." The Hound whispered, "A group of uninvited guests came to the clinic, including a level 7 cyborg using an antique longbow... But we've dealt with them. Asano Akira, Zhuoligetu, and Layton were all seriously injured and are receiving treatment. I'm in the military medical center now... As for the clinic, Maginot's men have blocked off the entire block."

"Well, the reinforcements from the Soma Group should be arriving soon. That's it for now. Be careful and keep in touch at all times."

“Stay in touch.”

Ke Lan turned around and told Sofia the general situation.

"A level 7 cyborg using a longbow... that should be Yaichi from the Six Samurai." Zofia thought for a moment and guessed the identity of the attacker. "Fortunately, they didn't send one of the three level 8 cyborg warriors, otherwise your friends might not only be seriously injured..."

"The Arasaka Group is operating on multiple fronts this time, but I don't quite understand their purpose... Isn't it equivalent to exposing themselves by doing this? Do they already have the confidence to compete with the Ark?"

"I find it strange too..." Zofia asked in confusion, "It's like playing chess with a strong opponent, and the opponent has the upper hand all the time, but he suddenly overturns the chessboard..."
