Chapter 199
Orizhi shouted for a while, and suddenly felt something was wrong.
The air...seems a little too quiet.
She closed her mouth, rolled her eyes, and looked at everyone.
Everyone was very quiet. Some people looked indifferent, some looked reluctant, but there was no surprise on their faces, as if they had known what was happening.
There were a few others who were as bewildered as she was, but the most obvious emotion on their faces was fear.
Lord Ryuka, who was at the head of the group, sat there in silence, without any reaction, as if it was not his name that Kurita had just shouted. He was as quiet as a sculpture.
Orizhi saw the woman who always followed Kurita, and she seemed to be called Linlin. She was also staring at the bloodstains left by Kurita, her eyes drooping and looking arrogant and cold, as if the one who died was not her boss whom she had always followed and had deep feelings for, but a disgusting reptile.
She looked at the two male attendants who dragged Kurita away. They looked a little annoyed, a little surprised, and a little guilty. Compared with others, they seemed to be the two most vivid and real people here.
Everyone is like an oil painting painted with thick ink and colors. On the surface, everyone looks bright and dignified, but behind them, there seems to be a creepy and terrifying shadow painted with distorted and exaggerated lines.
Then she also began to feel a deep fear.
Orizhi involuntarily shrank back into his chair, hugging himself with his hands, but still trembling slightly uncontrollably.
The few attendants following her were not as slow as Orizhi. They didn't even have the courage to scream. From the very beginning, they lowered their heads like quails, and the pens in their hands tapped lightly on the paper, but they couldn't even write a complete word.
Mapp looked around, taking in everyone's expressions, and finally met Todd's gaze again.
At this moment, Todd's eyes no longer had the calmness that he had shown before when he had deliberately suppressed himself. He stared at Mapu like a devil crawling out of hell, his eyes burning with flames of hatred, and his malice and murderous intent almost solidified into substance, rushing towards the person opposite him like a wave !
Ma Pu smiled slightly, but said to Lin Lin: "Continue reporting."
"Ah... this... is it!"
Lin Lin was a little confused when he heard such an order. He took a while to react, flipped through the document in his hand, and then said: "Under the guidance and help of Lord Liuka and Lord Mapu, we on the third floor have mainly carried out the following tasks..."
"How pitiful."
Todd suddenly spoke, and Linlin stopped his stammering report.
"Poor Kurita is so loyal and devoted to his death, but he doesn't even get a caring look or questioning?"
Mapp laughed and said, "Don't you think it's ridiculous that the murderer is avenging the victim?"
Orizhi looked at Todd in horror. He was the one who killed Kurita? Why? Wasn't he the most loyal person? Anyone could be the betrayer, but Todd...? How could it be possible?
And... did Master Mapu know that Todd was going to kill someone? Why... why didn't he stop it in advance? If Kurita knew that the masters above had known about this matter, wouldn't he have fought to the death and died without a burial place?
She felt very cold, very cold, so cold that even though she hugged herself tightly with both hands, she still couldn't suppress the chill that kept coming out from the bottom of her heart.
Those who were controlled by the white scavenger girls with nanorobots didn't know that Todd was behind it. They looked at the scary-looking Klao man with unbelievable . But he didn't refute Mapp's statement, but just laughed coldly: "Victims? Every one here counts, who doesn't have a life on his hands? Victims? Does he deserve it? Do you deserve it?"
Mapp smiled calmly and said, "Others may have the right to say such things, but you? That's ridiculous. Ask everyone here, and ask the people outside. Who on the entire Liukasao doesn't think that you are the most cruel executioner on this ship?"
"I have killed many people, I admit, and I am prepared to pay the price for it. But what about you?" Todd gritted his teeth and said, "You are always high above us, staying out of it! You watch us struggling in pain and grief at your feet, and you...you, the creator of all tragedies, use a hypocritical face of compassion to deceive the world by pretending to be a savior! It's disgusting!"
"What a passionate and righteous speech! I didn't expect to hear such things from you in this life," said Mapu, applauding. He stopped smiling and shook his head in disappointment, "After all, isn't it just because a childhood playmate died decades ago? Okay, I admit that I had someone kill that child. What was her name? Irene...right? I know you are very upset about this matter and are very angry, but..."
He looked at Todd, who was almost biting his teeth in hatred, and said with compassion: "Think carefully, Todd, if it weren't for her death, would you be able to get to where you are today? Considering your character of killing so many innocent people, using an ordinary little girl in exchange for a lifetime of wealth and glory, isn't it a loss?"
In fact, although Mapu could figure out the whole story, he still couldn't understand it. She was just a playmate who had died decades ago. If it were someone else, they would have forgotten the girl's name and appearance. Why did Todd hate her so much? Of course, this method was not very glorious and may have brought him deep pain in the past, but compared with what he had gained over the years, what was that pain?
"Ha, what do you know? What do you know!" Todd roared angrily. He stood up suddenly and pointed a gun at Mapp.
“Bang!”
Mai, the assistant who had been following behind Mapu, stood in front of him like lightning. The scorching flash hit Mai's chest. She leaned back, but she held the edge of the long table tightly with both hands and did not retreat a single step.
The rebounding light hit the unlucky ship owner on the 15th floor and his two attendants. The upper bodies of the three were blown to pieces and their limbs fell to the ground with a thud.
The crowd was in an uproar, screaming and backing away, chairs were knocked over with a bang, many people pulled out their guns, some pointed at Todd, but some pointed at him, the scene was in chaos. The crowd that had been sitting together happily and laughing in the rest area before now became two distinct factions, pointing guns at each other like mortal enemies.
They all knew that at this moment, they had no way out and one of them would have to die. Today, this place would surely be a river of blood.
At this time, the smoke and dust on Mai's chest dissipated. Everyone looked at her, their pupils shrank, and someone even exclaimed in a low voice: "Cyborg Mimic?"
The beautiful woman was now blasted into a bloody mess. But beneath the blood and flesh, black metal parts, broken wires, and flickering electric sparks were exposed.
Cyborgs are a very special form of life in the Milky Way. They are not robots with human emotions, but intelligent creatures who have abandoned their original bodies and used extremely advanced technology to transfer their brains to mechanical bodies, thereby gaining a longer lifespan and military power comparable to that of small mechas.
Moreover, as long as the critical brain of a cyborg is not damaged, it will not die. As for the other parts of the body, they are just parts that can be replaced at any time. As for their brains, they are not necessarily placed in the head like humans, but may be placed in any part of the body.
However, humans have a relatively shallow understanding of the brain, consciousness, and soul, which has led to a high mortality rate in such experiments. It is said that the survival rate is less than 1%, and even those who survived may have great changes in their memory, personality, emotions, hobbies, etc. No one can be sure whether the cyborg mimic is still the same person after the transfer.
“Bang!”
Another gunshot!
The head of Liuka, who was sitting at the top, exploded like a watermelon falling from a high altitude. The headless body paused for a moment and then slammed on the table.
The blood flowed along the long table. Everyone looked at the corpse and seemed to lose the ability to speak for a moment.
Time goes back to more than ten seconds ago. After Todd fired the shot, a young attendant who had just pretended to be in a panic and dodged took the opportunity to run to Liuka's vicinity. When everyone's attention was attracted by Mai, he raised his gun and shot, blowing Liuka's head off with one shot!
This young attendant was Aphra in disguise.
She held the gun in both hands, and she couldn't believe what she had done, muttering to herself: "I did it... I killed him... I killed Ryuka..."
Everyone was stunned and speechless for a moment.
Rong Yuan lowered his head, touched the little finger of his left hand, and lowered his eyes indifferently.
In the vision of the Sky Eye, a thin black line extended into the boundless darkness outside the conference room.
At this moment, the construction department on the lower floor of the 13th floor was in a mess. Everyone was disarmed, stripped of their uniforms, tied up and locked in an empty room. The fully armed Lao Xia led more than a hundred people, drove a powerful mecha, flew into space along the external passage, and gradually approached the 13th floor.
…
In the dark space outside the spacecraft, a row of warships and mechas with their lights turned off and stealth turned on were floating like ghosts, looking at the dazzling Sukasao in the distance.
All the warships and mechas were painted with black beast-like patterns. If an outsider saw these patterns at this time, he would definitely flee in panic at the first opportunity.
Because everyone in this star field knows that it is the logo of the fleet of the notorious star pirate Singer.
…
On the third floor, Wan Ruohua was helping Xi Zhenhai put on his exoskeleton armor. Xi Yanxin, whose health had improved a lot, sat in a wheelchair and helped deliver things.
Wan Ruohua complained softly: "Really? Today is your day you have to go on a mission again."
"There's nothing we can do!" Xi Zhenhai advised, "The outer layer of the spacecraft was hit by a small meteorite and was severely damaged. Even the protective layer was almost penetrated. We must repair it urgently! But this time our entire team is mobilized, so I believe it will take less than a day to repair it. Moreover, the overtime pay for such an emergency mission is very high. When I come back, we can also splurge and go to Jiawei Restaurant for a good meal. What do you think? Xinxin wants to go too, right?"
Xi Yanxin smiled and said, "Dad, remember to be safe."
And on the street outside their door, Alpha walked around the corner and looked up at the family's windows from afar.
