Chapter 41: The Hotel Has Been Annihilated
This is the backup plan of "Professor Chen".
If Russell hadn't seen through his hints...... Or Lin Zhen just held back, didn't say anything to Russell, and finally even luckily completed the task smoothly and really went back with the ball...... He can also complete his own research as a matter of course.
As a price, Ringo will also be consumed.
Hearing this, Lin Ye's body couldn't help but tremble.
Not because of fear, but because of anger.
"How can this be! That's how I believe in the Professor—"
Her voice trembled.
"It's simple," Russell shrugged, "because in the eyes of the wise men of Sun Island, you are not human, but just obedient self-propelled research materials."
"According to what you said, a doctor from Sun Island can easily bring down a big company, or open a bigger company, just by thinking about it. So for them, the wisdom in their brains is also their capital, their power.
"After all, how much difference will there be between the sacred and glorious solar disc and the gloomy Tartarus?"
“…… You're right. ”
Before Russell's words fell, Lin Yi had already calmed down: "In the end, it's just that I still had a fluke mentality in my heart before...... Think you still have a chance to go to the next level...... I never gave up that possibility, but I was wrong......"
This speed of regaining rationality is already quite good.
Under the pressure and stimulation that she has not experienced for a long time, she has begun to master her deeper talent. This is good.
After Lin Yi finished speaking, he was silent for a moment. And Russell looked at her quietly.
She suddenly raised her head, looked at Russell for a few seconds, and then said without hesitation, "Mr. Ultramarine, please guide me-"
"Oh?"
Russell just smiled and asked, "Then what can you give?" I have already saved your life by showing you the way you are dead. You ask me for more...... You can't hope I'm merciful, right? ”
"As long as you're not going to kill me, or torture me with pain that could drive me crazy, leave me permanently disabled."
Instead of saying, "I can give everything," Lin Yi replied sensibly, "Even if it is against morality and consensus, I can do it for you." ”
"So ......"
Russell asked, "Can you kill someone for me?" ”
The girl replied without hesitation, "As long as you can keep my crime from being discovered." ”
"Don't be found......
Russell patted Lin Ye's face and laughed happily.
After these few words, he already knew Lin Yi's bottom line.
She was afraid of punishment and didn't want to die, or be tortured to the point of being disabled or insane. In addition to this, she can endure all shame and sin, and she can also hurt others for it.
Sure enough, Russell's initial judgment was correct—they were the same kind of people.
Ringo is another Russell who didn't meet "Alice", his talent was not strong enough, and his essence was not so distorted.
"I do have something to ask you for."
The corners of Russell's mouth rose slightly, and his tone became low: "How about listening to my judgment of that Professor Chen first?" ”
At that moment, Lin Yi suddenly shuddered.
She keenly felt that the essence of the person in front of her had suddenly changed.
It's like a person in a movie who was originally facing a warm light, but suddenly when he lowered his head, the shadow covered the left half of his face. In addition, the half of the face in the light also makes the facial features deep and difficult to see due to the different angles of the light...... That's what it feels like.
Lin watched as Russell pulled a data cable from the prosthetic hand of his left arm and stuffed it into his hand.
"Give me your managerial privileges, puppy."
A warm and innocent smile appeared on Russell's lips, and his voice became more melodious and relaxed.
But his eyes became cold and dim, chilling.
Ringo had only seen this look from the mercenary leaders of Sun Island...... That's the look of an outlaw fanatic. But any one of them seemed so immature, vulgar, and ridiculous compared to the ultramarines at the moment.
She hesitated, gritted her teeth and plunged it under her left collarbone.
But Russell suddenly reached out and pressed it on her collarbone, blocking it.
For a moment, Lin Yi thought that this was just a somewhat cliché test of loyalty. But when she looked at Russell's face, she saw the majesty and solemnity in Russell's expression.
Not looking at yourself, but behind you.
It was only then that she heard a faint voice.
She snapped back and looked out the window.
Well-insulated walls and windows have greatly diminished the sound outside the hotel – but conversely, if they can still hear it, it is ridiculously loud.
It roared like a thunderstorm.
The sound of artillery is loud -
Russell walked to the nearest window and pulled the curtain open.
There are four models of the fleet of drones in Tartarus.
The largest ones were originally hung with strips of hard digital screens underneath, floating in the air nearby.
It looks like the Zerg Lord in StarCraft 2, with a prism hanging from the door of a barbershop underneath.
And the four sides of this prism are all advertisements that are always moving.
Now the "lords" have crossed and embedded themselves in the walls of the hotel. Even the advertisements didn't stop playing, just holding them up and pointing into the distance – revealing the 155 mm howitzer barrels at the ends of the prisms.
Originally, the barrels were staring at the ground.
Now, with the funny laughter of an artist, the coquettishness of a woman, or the enthusiastic reading of a child, under the background of the purple neon lights, dazzling fires exploded from the muzzle of the cannon, but did not shatter the screens, but only made the picture take a moment.
The second largest drone is used to transport people inside when they are caught from outside; The third largest is to help deliver documents, luggage or lights.
They now sprout horribly long barrels from their bellies, scattering and levitating in the air in a sort of order.
- Russell stared at it for a few moments before he could barely recognize that it was a triple 14.5mm machine gun and a twin 12.7mm machine gun.
The drone swarm focused the lights on a distant place, and the dense barrage was like rain pouring out.
From time to time, a ball of fire erupted in the distant sky. With each burst of fire, the lights gathered in that direction were extinguished. In just a few seconds, only two of the four lights converged.
It was accompanied by a heavy, long-spaced "thud" of cannon fire—the source of the sound that had startled Russell so suddenly.
But Russell couldn't even see what it was fighting.
"Number 44?"
Russell opened his mouth and asked in a low voice, "What's going on outside?" ”
"I'm here."
The cold and respectful voice of Number 44 sounded from the nearby pink crystal ornament without pause: "Please don't worry, it's just some rebels.
"This wave of rebels does not have any heavy firepower, and can be handled by the hotel's external security system alone."
"Security system...... Is it referring to these drones? ”
"Yes, this is a civilian armed security drone developed by Tartarus itself. We have sophisticated psionic radar, so don't worry, even if the thugs dismantle the chip in the back of their heads, they won't be able to silently approach within fifteen kilometers of Tartarus.
"We in Tartarus have the most complete security system and are connected to the internal network of the Tsujin Island Executive Department. If there is a special need, we can also call the head office's heavy equipment ......"
Speaking of which, No. 44 paused.
The noise outside the window disappeared in an instant.
As the cannon stopped, the largest drone reset, and the cannon barrel wrapped in advertising was pointed to the ground again, returning to the usual melodious and slow floating mode, loitering around the hotel as a mobile advertising lamppost.
The other two drones also recovered their smoking weapons and returned to the surroundings of the hotel in silence to serve guests.
"The hotel has been annihilated, sir."
Number 44's voice sounded flatly.
