Chapter Seventy-Seven: Goodbye, Assassins
In terms of scientific research, Alan Ruijin is inferior to his daughter, but in terms of calculating people's hearts, Sophia is also far from being compared to Alan Ruijin.
Sophia tries to gain Callum's trust and convince him of his idea of treating violence, but in the end, all she gets is Callum saying, "Who's going to treat you?" β
When Alan Reikin finally decides not to hide behind the scenes, he easily accomplishes what Sophia can't, and the tool he uses is hatred.
Callum's mother was an Assassin, and when he was found by the Templars, Callum's mother had Callum's father kill him in order to prevent the Templars from using the Animus to get information about the Golden Apple, all of which was seen by Callum as a child.
At that time, the safest way was, of course, to kill Callum as well. Unfortunately, Callum's father couldn't bear to kill his son, so he let Callum escape, and then he had everything he has now.
Now, Callum's father is also being held in the rehab center.
Sophia and Ye Qianhu were in the office at the time, doing a relevant investigation of Musa, one of the experimenters in the rehabilitation center, and Sophia, who was quickly recording something, suddenly saw a picture on the computer screen, which was her father taking Callum out of the place where he was imprisoned.
Sophia hurried to the computer, she didn't understand what Alan Reggin was trying to do.
Alan Riggin brought Callum to his father, who told him the truth about the day, telling him that the blood in his body did not belong to him, but to Assassin's Creed. Callum's mother died voluntarily to protect Assassin's Creed and the Golden Apple, and now Callum's father begs Callum not to enter the Animus again.
However, the truth of the year provoked Callum's anger, he didn't care about the golden apple, he didn't know what Assassin's Creed was, he only knew that his father had killed his mother just for some illusory thing. Perhaps, it was Assassin's Creed that destroyed everything about him.
And now, Callum has the power to destroy all of this, all he needs to do is enter the Animus and let the Templars get what they want, then these Assassins and their so-called Creed will not exist.
This was his revenge on his father, on that ridiculous creed.
In Sophia's office, Moussa also heard Callum's words, and Ye Qianhu noticed that when Callum said, "I'm going to find it, and then watch them destroy you with my own eyes", Moussa's hands tightened suddenly.
Sophia looked at Ye Qianhu and said, "Do you already know that this will happen today?" β
Last night, Ye Qianhu told her that today will be an important day, and I'm afraid that's what I mean, Callum finally returned voluntarily!
Ye Qianhu nodded and acknowledged this.
Sophia didn't follow the question, and walked away from the computer, "Let's go to the Animus." β
Ye Qianhu was a little behind, and he whispered as he passed by Mousa's side, "The control system is completely under my control, tell the others, get ready to fight, assassin!" β
Looking at Ye Qianhu's distant back, Mousa lowered his eyelids. In fact, whether Ye Qianhu really wanted to help them or not, he was ready to start fighting. Although he tried to trust Callum and the noble blood he inherited, the reality now is that Callum is about to destroy the Assassin's Creed!
On his way to the Animus, Callum encountered some minor trouble, he was attacked by several Assassins, but was unsuccessful due to his counterattack, and the Assassins who attacked him were taken away by security personnel.
Ye Qianhu and Sophia came to the Animus, Callum entered the hall from the other direction, he casually threw away his shirt and walked to the center of the hall, saying, "Send me in!" β
Sophia commanded the technicians, "Prepare the Animus, return voluntarily." β
When the Hidden Blade was prepared for Callum, the sturdy head of security personally presented him with the Hidden Blade.
"Do you know the origin of the word Assassin?"
"He's from Arabic, he's addicted to narcotics. They are outcasts from society, they steal, they kill without blinking, and people ridicule them. There are rebels, there are fools, there are addicts, but they are all smart people. They use this fame to hide their principled beliefs beyond even their most formidable enemies. That's what I admire for them. β
Helping Callum put on his Hidden Blade, the head of security looked at Callum and continued, "But you're not one of them, are you?" β
"I want to know too!" Callum put an epidural on himself, as if he didn't feel the pain in his neck, and he was lifted into the air by the robotic arm.
"Start returning!"
The Templars received the Sultan's son, who was a coward, and when the Templars told him that the Assassin who had been able to protect him had died and had brought out his son, the Sultan did not resist and obediently led them to get the Golden Apple.
Aquila and the female Assassin Maria had anticipated this, and just when the Pope thought their wish would finally come true, the two Assassins suddenly fell from the roof.
During the battle, Maria was killed, and Aquila retrieved the Golden Apple, before being pursued by Templar soldiers. Eventually, however, Aquila escaped by jumping into the water, and in doing so, he used the Leap of Faith again.
This time Callum was completely willing to synchronize, and in the halls, he also completed the Leap of Faith perfectly, falling quickly with the help of the mechanical arm, and even the mechanical arm malfunctioned due to his too violent movements.
Once again, the picture in the projection changed, and the surrounding scene had already followed Aquila's memories to another place, and according to the technician's restoration of that place, they soon found that place, Cadiz of Lavlontra of Paros!
Here, Aquila found Christopher Columbus and gave him the golden apple, asking him to protect it with his life and take it to the grave after his death.
Aquila and Columbus managed to protect the Golden Apple for hundreds of years, but now the secrets of it were all revealed to the Templars.
The place of Columbus' burial was not difficult to find, and after a brief operation, the technician said to Sofia: "His body was sent back to Spain, and his tombstone is in the Cathedral of Selivia." β
"We've found it!" Sophia muttered.
Even though the mechanical arm had left Callum's body, the projection did not stop, and Aquila's figure reappeared, standing there, quietly watching Callum.
Beside Callum, more and more vague assassin figures appeared, and Sophia looked at it all incredulously, "Is this a memory?" β
The technician replied, "No! β
Ye Qianhu looked at the picture that appeared in the projection seriously, and the voice of the red queen suddenly came from his headphones:
"Master, the assassins are about to get started."
"Is the weapon normal?" Ye Qianhu asked.
The Red Queen's voice sounded a little mischievous, like a mischievous child, "Of course, those cute little things will definitely surprise them!" β
"What else could you ask for, my master." The red queen asked.
"No, let's have fun." Ye Qianhu ended the conversation with the red queen with a smile.
It was as if an order had been received at the same time, and inside the rehabilitation center, the Assassins who were still awake all made the same decision to start fighting!
In the rest area, Moussa used smoke grenades to distract the security guards, and the Assassins began attacking the guards around them.
The guards had not expected this to happen, perhaps because the Assassins were so cooperative that they had forgotten that the former Assassins had been portrayed as real Assassins.
It's like the head of security once said, we're feeding the beasts!
The guards reacted as soon as the attack began, and a large number of guards began to pour out, and they only received one order, which was to sweep up all the assassins in the rehab center!
Not far from Ye Qianhu, the security supervisor pressed down the headset and ordered, "Turn off the Animus." β
The entrances to the Animus were all closed, but he didn't know that it was the Red Queen who was operating the command, not his men.
Now the guards in the control room are looking at the console at a loss, and after the attack, they can no longer control the computer in front of them, and they find that all the communication systems have also been damaged. That is, the Templars had lost control of the rehabilitation center.
The Red Queen controlled the opening and closing of all the security doors in the rehab center, and under her guidance, a large number of guards were gathering around the rest area where everything was rushing towards the most Assassins.
However, when at least thirty or so guards walked down the hallway to the outside of the rest area, the security door in front of them was not opened, and at the same time, the doors to enter the hallway were closed.
Just as they were anxiously calling the control room, a series of very small explosions were heard above the hallway, followed by five fist-sized objects falling into the hallway.
The explosion overhead caught everyone's attention, and when they saw the five spherical objects, more than one shouted "Grenade!" However, they were horrified to find that there was nothing to hide from in the hallway, except for the bodies of their companions.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Five strange explosions rang out, no smoke from the explosion, no lethal fragments flying around, only yellowish liquid being densely scattered in every space in the corridor.
In the next second, the guards suddenly felt that it was actually a good thing to be killed by a grenade!
"It stinks!!"
"My eyes! My eyes! β
"God, what the hell is this!!"
"I'm going to throw up, vomit~"
The screams of misery echoed throughout the corridors, and if they were heard, there would be absolutely no doubt that they were being subjected to the worst torture in the world, and in fact, for them now, it was almost the same.
Vomiting and scolding filled the hallway, but more people just curled up in the hallway and snorted weakly, the strong stench that made them feel like they were poisoned.
"It's a skunk bomb! It's a skunk bomb! β
Finally someone realized what it was, but it didn't help them in their current situation, some banged desperately on the security door, some scolded the guards of the control center in the most vicious language, but they couldn't get out of here, they could only endure the stench here.
Many people were craning their necks and gasping desperately, but in doing so, more of the stench entered their lungs.
The skunk bomb is a non-lethal weapon developed by the Israeli military, and they were inspired by the skunk to release stench to drive away the enemy, and through a synthetic method, this skunk bomb was successfully developed to deal with Palestinian protesters.
As for the power of this skunk bomb, according to experiments, the liquid sputtered by this skunk bomb can last for five years if it sticks to clothing. This characteristic makes the skunk bomb particularly harmful to Palestinians, who have to throw away their contaminated clothes, and these devout Muslims are not allowed to wear smelly clothes to worship.
Of the entire human race, perhaps the only ones who can resist skunk bombs without relying on equipment are the magical Indians. The skunk bombs were brought in from Israel to suppress civil unrest, but they were disappointed that their people were able to tolerate the smell without much difficulty.
A minute later, the security doors on both sides of the hallway were opened, but only a few people barely got up and staggered to try to escape, and many more fell to the ground in a mess, and they had no strength to get up.
The original power of the skunk bomb was terrifying enough, this time they took five of them at once, and the most important thing is that the skunk bomb played a role in an almost completely enclosed corridor, and the effect can be imagined.
When the security door was opened, the Assassins, who had thought they were trapped, retreated at the same time, and the stench coming from the hallway kept them from approaching again.
Then they saw several staggering figures, completely ignoring the Assassins, desperately fleeing to the farthest point from the hallway. However, they also emitted a pungent stench, and even the Assassins did not hurt these poor creatures anymore.
When the Assassins finally understood what was going on in the corridor, even though they were mortal enemies, the Assassins still felt that the guards in the corridor were pitiful.
However, the Assassins had no choice but to find their way through the stinking corridor to reach the Animus.
The hall where the Animus was located was undisturbed by the outside, and everyone watched quietly as everything that happened around Callum began.
Around Callum, all the figures looked up at him.
These people are dressed in clothes with different periods, they have different faces, they come from different eras, but they have one thing in common, they are all assassins, and they have the same blood flowing in them!
"Sophia, get out of here!"
At this time, Sophia's ears heard Ye Qianhu's voice.
Sophia said unwillingly: "No, I can't leave now, I need to figure out what is happening now!" β
On the other side, Alan Rikin made the same decision and what he wanted has been given.
Alan Regine said to the head of security, "Protect the Animus, empty the entire device!" β
Without much expression on his face, the head of security said to Alan Ruijin, "Please get out of here first." β
"The assassins are coming, you must leave, Sophia!" Ye Qianhu said to her seriously, "I will find you again after a while, remember my invitation, I won't give you a third chance to refuse me." β
"You're not leaving?!" Sophia stared at Ye Qianhu's eyes, as if she wanted to see through all of Ye Qianhu's thoughts, but she only saw this man's terrifying calmness there.
"I said, I'm interested in all of this, I'm going to watch this ceremony." Ye Qianhu said.
"Sophia, let's get out of here!" Alan Reikin said unquestionably as he passed by Sophia.
"Don't keep me waiting!"
Sophia glanced at Ye Qianhu deeply, and quickly followed Alan Ruijin away.
The surrounding researchers were rapidly evacuating, and no one paid attention to Ye Qianhu, who was still there.
The Red Queen opened the passage to the Animus, and more than a dozen assassins rushed into the hall, and they saw Ye Qianhu standing there, but all of them gave up their intention to attack for the time being, and instead looked at the center of the hall seriously.
There, Callum's mother appeared in front of him, and she slowly walked towards Callum and looked at her son tenderly.
"You're not alone, Carl, never."
"Remember when others blindly follow the truth"
"Everything is empty"
"When others are bound by morality and law, remember"
"All Things"
"We Plough the Darkness and Serve the Light"
"We are Assassins," Callum whispered, and then he saw his mother's side, his father, all watching him.
In Callum's mother's smile, all figures vanished, the projected lights disappeared, and the hall returned to its original appearance.
Moussa looked at Callum, "How do we do it?" Herald. β
Callum said: "We fight. β
Then, Colum turned to look at Ye Qianhu, who was quietly watching them, when a crossbow arrow was fired at Ye Qianhu by an assassin.
Ye Qianhu's figure, who was originally standing there quietly, flashed instantly, and behind him, the attacks of the two assassins all missed.
Ye Qianhu reached out and grabbed the crossbow arrow in his hand, and in the next moment, he stabbed the crossbow arrow into the shoulder socket of an assassin, and then kicked the assassin away.
At the same time, the other assassin was subdued by Ye Qianhu without much resistance, and he was forced to kneel on one knee with a dagger around his neck.
Ye Qianhu placed the dagger across the artery of the assassin's neck and said to Callum, "We are not enemies. β
Then, Ye Qianhu said to Musa: "Although it is because of me, I have to say that you guys really stink a little!" β
No matter how careful they were, the Assassins who had been in the rest area inevitably got the liquid of the skunk bombs as they passed through the hallways, at least the soles of their shoes. Although there was not much contamination, these smells were still irritating Ye Qianhu's nose.
"What's going on?" Callum looked at Moussa.
Moussa motioned for everyone to stop their hostility towards Ye Qianhu and explained: "He helped us, those guards in the corridor, if there is no mistake, this gentleman should help us solve it, although this way is a bit special." β
Moussa had a high prestige among these people, and the Assassins heard his explanation, and their hostility towards Ye Qianhu was reined in.
"But you're Sophia Ruijin's bodyguard." Callum said to Ye Qianhu.
Ye Qianhu let go of the assassin he was holding hostage, and said, "That's just my cover."
Because Ye Qianhu used skunk bombs to help them solve a large number of guards, more assassins survived this time, and at the same time, no one stopped Callum from pursuing Alan Ruijin and them this time, but unfortunately, when Callum arrived at the roof, he saw the helicopter leaving.
At the edge of the roof, where the Assassins gathered, Ye Qianhu said to Callum and Musa, "I know you will get the golden apple back, but you are not allowed to harm Sophia. β
"She's a good scientist, but she's too naΓ―ve."
Musa did not answer, but looked at Callum.
Callum said, "We're only going to deal with Alan Ruijin, I promise!" β
"Remember your promise, Callum Lynch, or I will be your enemy."
Ye Qianhu looked at Callum with a smile and said, "Goodbye, assassins! β
