Chapter 65 Father and Daughter
The injured Lilith didn't go too far, because in extreme speed, the blood circulation throughout her body would be accelerated, the blood loss from the wound would become severe, and because of the wound on the thigh muscle, using the ability would be tantamount to amplifying the pain.
It wasn't until Quantum's plane left that she limped out of the Sino Institute.
But before he could go far, he was stopped by a samurai who had a mechanical arm in his left hand, a long knife on his back, and a gun in his right hand, with his back to Lilith, as if he had already spotted her and waited in her way.
"Who are you?" Lilith asked vigilantly, she didn't want to fight anyone, and it would be too bad for her to fight again at this time.
The samurai turned around, and the left half of his face was also made of precision machinery, and when he opened his mouth, the mechanical face could show subtle expressions, and his voice was a little hoarse.
"We're waiting for you."
"You guys? I don't know you. ”
Lilith stepped back, ready for the ninja to be wounded, and to shake off the cyborg of unknown strength first. But no sooner had she made a move than the warrior raised his gun and aimed it at Lilith, while the mechanical arm gripped the unsheathed knife behind her back. Lilith sensed threatened.
"Don't move."
"Would you like to try it? I promise you'll die first! Lilith said coldly.
"Stop, Muto, put the gun down first", a middle-aged man's voice shouted from nearby, hurriedly approaching, carrying a suitcase, wearing gold wire eyes, and a hint of cunning in the eyes behind the lenses.
If Ning Fei and Eddie were still here, they would be surprised that the person who appeared here was actually Dr. Joseph Eugene, and the cyborg samurai next to him was Muto Suke, who had been torn apart by Eddie in the past, not only did he not die, but he was also transformed into such a strange appearance as he is now.
"Lilith," Dr. Eugene said with a smile as he walked up to the purple-haired girl.
Lilith didn't back down, her eyes were a little complicated, she looked at Dr. Eugene, and after a moment she softened her expression and spoke.
"My father, why are you here?"
"I'm looking for you. When you appeared in front of me, you were a poor war orphan hiding in the ruins, only five years old, you are so tall", Dr. Eugene stretched out his hand and measured the height, and then continued: "I saw that you were different, so I took you to the laboratory, and I did not treat you as an experiment, but as my own daughter, and cultivated your talents, day after day, year after year, until you became a girl, and you began to rebel, longing to understand the outside world, and you left me. ”
"You can be honest, you adopted me to study the ability to mass-manufacture your lethal weapons. It's like this thing around you. ”
The cyborg warrior heard Lilith's taunt, but he was not angry at all, and waited quietly
"I saved him, his body was torn to shreds, and I helped him survive," Dr. Eugene explains.
"You also saved my life, so I should be glad that you didn't help me too much and made me look like a person."
Dr. Eugene shook his head bitterly and said: "Lilith, I was wrong, all along, I didn't understand, you are unique, your abilities can't be replicated at all, so I failed again and again, so that I ended up losing you, and since then I have begun to regret it, and I have begun to miss the time you were by my side, I have not worried about your situation for a day, Lilith, you have been wandering outside long enough, everyone needs to return to their own place after all, it's time to go home, my only daughter." ”
Lilith smiled contemptuously and said, "These emotional cards can't impress me, I never longed for family, let's talk about something more practical." ”
"Okay, then...... What about hatred? About your background, about your biological parents, about the war that changed your fate", Dr. Eugene suddenly raised his tone.
Lilith squinted her eyes and her tone became cold, "What exactly do you want to say?" ”
Dr. Eugene reached out and patted Lilith on the shoulder, letting out a long sigh.
"It was a war between Hellfire and the Coalition Army, the Alliance Army broke through the stronghold of the Hellfire Legion, the two sides fought, the artillery fire covered the entire battlefield, the slums within its range could not be spared, your parents and many innocent people, all died in that war, no one could tell which one of those poor people died in the hands of those people, and no one cared, in the end, those super soldiers who were born for war became worshipped superheroes, and the suffering poor people were reduced to nameless bones, and everything that served the war had original sin."
"Then you will have to do your part, you work for Hellfire", Lilith said with a cold look in her eyes, grabbing Dr. Eugene's shirt and hating it. She recalled the blurry images, the screams and artillery fire around her as if they were still in her ears.
Seeing Lilith's movements, Muto immediately stepped forward and pointed a gun at Lilith's neck.
Eugene waved his hand, signaling Muto not to worry.
"No, it's not anymore, Odore pursues power through war, but I don't think all wars are necessary, I used to think that as long as we create weapons with enough deterrence to keep the strength of both sides equal, we can balance the situation and end the war, and everyone will live better, but it turns out that what I think is too simple, it is not weapons that control the war, but the ideas of some people, some people want to be heroes, someone has to die, some people want more, someone loses everything, I am just an ordinary personI can't change anything, but you're different, Lilith, you have extraordinary abilities, you can end everything, I can wait for you to make a choice, no matter what the outcome is, I won't stop you, just like I never stopped you. ”
"I'd rather not have this ability, I tried to become an ordinary person in the past, but it can't be done, I don't really have a choice."
"Because of your abilities, you have a mission."
"You think I'm like a man of peace?" , Lilith smirked dismissively.
"It doesn't matter, the important thing is that you are a victim, a victim of war, and you are not weak now, you are very strong, and the strong have the right to revenge."
Lilith let go of her hand, looked at Mutosuke, and asked Eugene, "Revenge?" Revenge on whom? What are you going to do? ”
Dr. Eugene cupped his eyes and said solemnly: "Odore's successor is even crazier than Odore, he is ready to launch an ultimate war against the alliance to determine the final winner, but unfortunately those guys are coming, there is not much time left for us, we have no way to continue the war, so we must stop at all costs to end the war on this planet." ”
"Who are those guys you're talking about?"
"Intruder."
"Where did the intruders come from?" , Lilith wondered.
"It's not from Earth, it's from another civilization, they have a technological power far beyond Earth, they already know this place, and when the invader army across the vast space arrives, all humanity will be reduced to fish to be slaughtered. So we have to be united. ”
"So you're going to use my abilities to help the Hellfire Legion win this war? You've done a good job," Lilith sneered.
Dr. Eugene shook his head and said, "No, I said, I don't work for Hellfire anymore. ”
"Helping the Alliance, then?"
"We don't help anyone, we just need to make the war between the two sides come faster, and whoever is weaker will kill whomever we want."
"There are only so many of you now, even if you count me, you are alone."
"I have an advantage that none of them have."
Dr. Eugene smiled mysteriously and opened the box in his hand, which contained a 12-sided crystal, and the green light on it was like flowing lines, which was very peculiar.
