Chapter 496: Capturing Gabriel Alive
Gabriel stared at Su Ming. He felt his body was very hot. The pain from his broken hands and feet was maddening. His skin also hurt. He felt like he was going crazy.
He absolutely did not believe that he could survive the other party's hands. He would definitely die... there was no doubt about that.
Although this ending was something he had not expected, it was not unacceptable. But he still wanted to ask a few questions... just a few questions.
"I'm... saving the world!" Gabriel used all his strength to say these words. As he said these words, he felt as if burning magma was flowing in his throat and nasal cavity, causing him great pain.
Su Ming stared into the other person's eyes and frowned even more tightly.
Because he found that Gabriel didn't seem to be lying.
Su Ming grabbed Gabriel and transferred some of his injuries to himself to slow down Gabriel's death. He then asked, "Why do you say you are saving the world?"
Gabriel felt that his physical condition suddenly improved a lot. Although the pain was still severe, he didn't seem to die immediately.
"Don't you think that the monsters in this world are endless? No matter what we do, those monsters will always exist and keep appearing, and the same is true for demons. If it weren't for the excellent reproductive ability of humans, we would have been extinct long ago... Is it... that humans must survive like this?"
It's not about delaying time, Su Ming thought.
"Be more specific. Why do you say you are saving the world? I don't have much patience to listen to your big talk." Su Ming said, "Also, you have to tell me what your special ability is first, otherwise I will kill you immediately!"
"I... don't have any super powers!" Gabriel said with difficulty.
Su Ming was stunned for a moment.
Oh my god, it’s true, this guy really doesn’t have any special powers!
For a moment, Su Ming felt complicated.
When I thought that the leader of this powerful organization was actually an ordinary person without any special powers, I was surprised and felt it was unbelievable.
"So what did you mean when you said you were saving the world?"
"Humans should not rely on those inexplicable superpowers, but technology! You have fought with those experimental subjects on the airship, right? How is their combat effectiveness?" Gabriel opened his bloodshot eyes and stared at Su Ming.
"You have the technology to mass-produce those monsters, right? Do you think those monsters can change the world?"
"The core resource of the experimental subject is Chaos Magic Stone, and Chaos Magic Stone is not a consumable item! After the experimental subject dies, Chaos Magic Stone will still remain. Don't you think this is a resource that can be recycled?"
Su Ming pondered for a while and finally understood what Gabriel said. Gabriel's words did make sense. If not correct, it was a possibility. In today's human society, the mortality rate is not low. Although the pressure of raising offspring has been greatly reduced due to the substantial increase in productivity, a couple will never have any financial pressure even if they raise four or five children.
However, the mortality rate is a data that cannot be ignored.
Humans are different from other animals. If the only concern is population size, cloning and test-tube babies can completely achieve this. However, humans have always pursued the improvement of individual feelings. Using high fertility rates to cover up exaggerated mortality rates can only make people feel sad.
Gabriel's technology of mass-producing Chaos Demons can reduce the death of elite psychics to some extent, and this technology is still in its infancy. If it develops in the long term, it will definitely show more possibilities.
But, there is still a problem.
"Why did you establish the Mystic Eye? Your Mystic Eye's goal is to establish a polarized pyramid society. This is quite different from the goal of saving the world you just mentioned. Can you explain it to me?"
Gabriel gritted his teeth and endured the severe pain, saying: "Human beings! They are creatures driven by interests. Morals and slogans cannot awaken people's conscience, but the system established under the drive of interests can change the entire society! The pyramid society you mentioned is just a blank check I wrote to them. My real purpose is to use their power to save the world.
Su Ming...you are also a savior like me, can you understand me?"
"I don't quite understand why this technology can't be handed over directly to the alliance? If you have this idea, can't you just join the alliance?"
"Not everyone can accept this epoch-making feat. The Alliance will never accept the method of creating a demon."
"Didn't this technology appear right after the establishment of Mysterious Eye? In other words, the establishment of Mysterious Eye was not specifically for the purpose of creating monsters. You met Xia Xiaoyu and then created Mysterious Eye. You must have other purposes." Su Ming stared at Gabriel coldly.
"I simply wanted to change the world, and finally chose this path." Gabriel panted. With Su Ming keeping him alive, he felt much better.
"Okay, I know your purpose. I won't kill you for now. I'll take you back."
"Wait! Are you willing to join us? I heard that your purpose of coming to this world is to destroy people like us. If I can achieve your goal, you can do whatever you want. Let me finish what I should do first, and then let me die, okay?" Gabriel asked with difficulty.
Su Ming wanted to laugh after hearing this: "Members of the shared power cannot harm each other, so you can't help me."
Gabriel remained silent.
Su Ming stared at the other person's face for a while, then suddenly frowned and asked tentatively: "Can you... kill the other members of the Mysterious Eye?"
Gabriel still didn't answer, but Su Ming had already seen the answer from Gabriel's face. He knew that Gabriel had a way to kill the other members of Mysterious Eye, but he also knew that Gabriel was indeed bound by that strange contract and could not tell him the specific method of killing.
"I understand. I will take you back and won't let you die here."
Su Ming stretched out his hand and pressed down on the broken parts of Gabriel's arms and feet. There was a slight "hissing" sound and wisps of white smoke. Accompanied by Gabriel's screams, the bleeding from the wounds was stopped. Most of the severe burns on his skin surface were transferred to Su Ming himself.
After doing these things, Su Ming also made a small knife with his blood and cut his wrist, then sucked a few mouthfuls of blood. The burns on the surface of the skin were all healed. Then he used Xia Xiaoyu's exclusive method to transfer the symptoms of ischemia to Gabriel , and the injuries were eliminated and alleviated.
Gabriel stared at Su Ming in horror, his expression was very interesting.
He watched Su Ming take out a roll of black thing that looked like hair from the air, and when he unfolded it, it looked like a piece of clothing.
Su Ming threw the clothes on him and said, "This is Xia Xiaoyu's clothes. It can keep you from being seen. I will carry you on my back later. On the way..."
"I won't make a sound, or you'll kill me." Gabriel, covered by his clothes, said.
Su Ming nodded with satisfaction, thinking that there was no need for threats anymore.
But then again, it’s not like he needs help from anyone, but rather Gabriel wants to fulfill his own ambitions.
"By the way, where are all your experimental and technical materials? I want to take them away."
"Impossible. You won't be able to find them even if you destroy this place. They are not here, and I won't tell you, even if you will kill me."
It was the truth, but Su Ming couldn't do anything about it.
The other party is using open conspiracies and risking his own life. He has his bottom line and his own goals. People like him are not so easy to manipulate.
Su Ming took out his cell phone and immediately called Liu Lingshan.
"Hey, Master, I caught Gabriel. I want to take him back. Can you find a hidden place for me where no one can find him?"
"You're quite quick. It seems the leader of the Mystic Eye is just average."
"No, he's just an ordinary guy."
"Oh? Ordinary people! This is a bit surprising. Although I can arrange the place you want, I can't guarantee absolute secrecy. After all, when I return to Dongyang Island, there might be people with the Mysterious Eye watching me. I can't see them at all, so all my actions will naturally be exposed."
"It's okay, just arrange it."
"Since you said so, I'll arrange it and send you the address when the time comes."
"good."
Su Ming hung up the phone and immediately sent a message to Xia Xiaoyu, asking her to follow Liu Lingshan and observe whether there were people with mysterious eyes following her.
This way, you can ensure that nothing goes wrong.
…
At this moment, Gabriel, wrapped in clothes, only hoped that Su Ming could leave here as soon as possible, and also hoped that Ambrose, who was working at the lowest level, would not come up so quickly. If Su Ming met Ambrose , there would definitely be another bloody battle.
As for who will win this battle...Gabriel thinks it is most likely Su Ming.
Ambrose said he had thought of a way to defeat Su Ming, so let him do it.
Now, he's going to do his own thing.
…
Three days later.
Su Ming and Gabriel successfully arrived at Dongyang Island, and Liu Lingshan arranged for them to stay in an apartment in an abandoned community in the slums behind the Lingyan Mine.
Besides Liu Lingshan, the only person waiting in the apartment was Xia Xiaoyu. Jiang Yichuang and the others had all gone back to the Investigation Bureau.
When Su Ming walked into the house carrying Gabriel on his back, he saw that Xia Xiaoyu's face was pale. Even though Gabriel behind her had not appeared yet, her emotions were already as tense as a string. Her expression was angry and calm at the same time, and her clenched fists showed a desire to vent, but also concealed timidity.
Obviously, Xia Xiaoyu's feelings towards Gabriel are extremely complicated. He was the first person she saw after she became transparent. She once had infinite trust and affection for him, but in the end Gabriel betrayed her and used her as a tool to expand the organization and expand his own wings.
Like Su Ming now, he once gave Xia Xiaoyu the meaning of existence, but while Gabriel gave Xia Xiaoyu the meaning of existence, he deprived her of the power to choose... Her meaning was forcefully given by him, and from then on she was forced to become a canary with clipped wings, and became a queen who sat on the throne with her feet never touching the dust.
Su Ming walked up to Xia Xiaoyu, gently placed his right hand on the back of her neck, leaned forward to kiss her left cheek, pressed the back of her head against her forehead, and gently soothed her, "It's okay, I'm here."
Xia Xiaoyu's cold eyes let out a few faint lights like broken ice, her pale face took on a bit more color, and her body, which had been stiff due to nervousness and timidity, became lively.
She closed her eyes and rubbed Su Ming's forehead, raised her hand and touched his cheek, and said softly: "What are you doing? I'm fine."
Su Ming smiled.
"I'm glad you're okay."
After saying that, Su Ming hesitated for a moment, and then continued: "Do you want to step aside? I cut off his hands and feet."
If he had brought back someone else, he would definitely not have sent Xia Xiaoyu away, but Gabriel meant something different to Xia Xiaoyu. He didn't know what kind of Gabriel Xia Xiaoyu wanted to see, nor did he want her to suffer a mental shock when she saw Gabriel, who was about to have his limbs mutilated.
Xia Xiaoyu was startled and slowly lowered her head. Su Ming's words shocked her a lot.
But soon, she raised her head again: "It's okay, I'll watch here."
Su Ming didn't say anything more. He walked to the dirty wooden bed without any cloth on it, laid Gabriel flat on the bed, and then untied the black hair that was wrapped around his body. The burned Gabriel appeared in front of Liu Lingshan and Xia Xiaoyu.
Although most of , minor burns still remained. His red skin was covered with blisters, his beautiful and handsome blond hair was gone, and on his head were black marks left by the burnt hair, which were stuck to his skin.
When Gabriel saw Xia Xiaoyu, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing an extremely gentle smile.
"Xiaoyu, how long have we not seen each other?"
It was as if he was greeting a long-lost friend, with a calmness mixed with the joy of reunion.
Xia Xiaoyu's face turned even paler. She clenched her fists and opened her mouth several times before she spoke.
"Yeah, it seems you're not doing very well." Xia Xiaoyu said sarcastically.
"Haha, you weren't this humorous before... You've really changed a lot."
Gabriel did not care about Xia Xiaoyu's ridicule. Instead, he looked at Xia Xiaoyu quietly with a deep and complicated look, with a hint of warmth and regret in his blue eyes.
"Let's talk about the past later. Now I want to ask you a question." Su Ming interrupted coldly, and turned to smile at Xia Xiaoyu, "Let me talk to him first?"
"Oh! Of course! I'll do whatever you say!" Xia Xiaoyu smiled sweetly at Su Ming, and then turned her cold gaze to Gabriel again.
"Xiao Ming, you made him suffer quite a lot." Liu Lingshan said as he walked around the bed, seeming to be quite surprised by Su Ming's way of dealing with the situation.
Su Ming didn't answer Liu Lingshan. He leaned over and stared into Gabriel's eyes, and said directly: "You came here with me for some purpose, right? Tell me, we can cooperate if we can, but if we can't, just die. Don't give me some messy tricks, you know... it's useless to me."
"Heh... really, really a tricky power. I can kind of understand their fear of you." Gabriel smiled reluctantly, "But before that, could you please give me some painkillers? I'm in real pain!"
Su Ming looked unhappy, but still turned around and said, "Xiao Yu, prepare blood bags and painkiller injections."
"Oh!" Xia Xiaoyu said obediently.
"Take out the three folding stools from the box. We'll probably be chatting for a while, so you'll want to sit comfortably."
"OK."
