Chapter 2794

Chu Zhixiao looked around vigilantly.

She never believed that the puppet king's motives and behavior patterns would be so simple.

Every time, the puppet king wraps his real motives in a labyrinth full of blood and blood.

There are only countless corpses smashed to pieces by the "Giant Spirit" Yuan Kou, and the "buzzing" reactor.

Thank goodness, this type of reactor has an extremely strong shell and very tight protection devices, not to mention that it is difficult to destroy it violently from the outside. Even if it is destroyed, the energy input pipeline leading to the reactor will be cut off instantly, allowing the inside of the reactor The high-energy reaction slowly attenuates and stagnates, and it will never cause a violent explosion, causing irreversible effects on the entire starship.

Otherwise, as long as the puppet king controls a group of ghouls, he can detonate the entire starship.

"Detonate the starship..."

Chu Zhixiao narrowed her eyes, she smelled a conspiracy.

Checking the corpses of the ghouls back and forth, it is a pity that all the corpses have been blasted into mud, which is of no value for investigation.

"Qixing, send me the three-dimensional images of the corpses outside, no matter the corpses of the ghouls or the victims, don't miss every detail!"

Chu Zhixiao issued orders to his companions outside through the spider chariot.

After a while, the indicator lights on the back of the spider chariot flickered rapidly, and bundles of invisible, thin threads like transparent nerves were connected to her temples. A pair of lifelike and shocking pictures appeared on her retina out of thin air. superior.

Chu Zhixiao concentrated his attention and scanned the corpses with sharp eyes.

After scanning dozens of corpses, she noticed something strange.

"Many corpses have missing eyes and fingers."

This is a matter of course.

Since the whole body was devoured and riddled with holes, how could the eyeballs and fingers be spared.

Moreover, for ghouls, eyeballs are the most "delicious" food, and fingers are one of the easiest parts to chew on.

The vast majority of victims of "ghoul incidents", bearing the brunt of it, lost their eyeballs and fingers.

"Most of the photos of ghouls here are also missing eyeballs and fingers. Although they may be infected by eating these parts and transforming into ghouls, I still don't think it's right."

Chu Zhixiao pondered, "If we take the limitations of our thinking out of the 'ghoul incident' and don't treat this case as an ordinary gluttonous virus outbreak, then how should we treat the disappearance of these eyeballs and fingers? reason?"

"What do you mean, Major?"

"Black Dream" Yun Hai thought, "It's not the 'ghoul incident', so what is it?"

"Assuming that the bloody 'ghoul incident' is just a cover-up, is the puppet king's real target those eyes and fingers?"

Chu Zhixiao stared into the depths of the darkness, and muttered to himself, "Snatching the eyes and fingers of dozens of key people at once will attract attention no matter what, unless the 'Gluttonous Virus Outbreak' is used as a cover-up and the The corpses of all the victims are mutilated, so there is no problem with the eyeballs and fingers, but in fact, were these eyeballs and fingers eaten or used in other places?"

"Elsewhere?"

"Black Dream" Yun Haixin narrowed his eyes, "You mean, the control authority of the starship?"

"That's right. Except for the bridge, many places of old-fashioned warships like the Chasing Light can be manually controlled with high-level permissions, but the fingerprints, irises, blood and brain scans of the permission owner must be required."

Chu Zhixiao said, "The authority holder is often the highest-ranking priest on the old-fashioned battleship, plus the supervisor who needs to control the area, on the Chasing Light, it is the high priest who has been eaten beyond recognition, and the power cabin. The supervisor, and maybe the operator of the reactor, I think, these people are all dead, and all the eyes and fingers are gone?"

"More than eyeballs and fingers."

"Heimeng" Yunhai thought, "A lot of corpses have been sucked dry, so there are blood samples, and brain scans, uh, simulating brain waves is the puppet king's strong point, and the brains of many key authorities are also missing And fly, so now, fingerprints, irises, blood samples, and brain scans, it's not a problem."

"Seven Stars—"

Chu Zhixiao's voice was so cold as if it came from a vacuum, "Tell me, if the puppet king takes over the highest authority of the power cabin through manual control, what can he do?"

"...do what you want, do what you want, there are no taboos, and you can do whatever you want."

After a long time, the slightly trembling voice of "Seven Stars" came from the air.

Chu Zhixiao cursed softly.

The whole person jumped up, like an arrow from the string, shooting into the darkness.

Before "Giant Spirit" Yuan Kou and "Black Dream" Yun Haixin could catch up, she had already disappeared in the deepest part of the power cabin.

Only the spider chariot "Porco Rosso" still followed the master's footsteps step by step, and its slightly bulky figure also relied on the high-speed sliding wheels at the ends of its six limbs to drive towards the bottom of the power cabin.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!"

The lowest floor of the power cabin is a space reserved for maintenance and modification. There are a lot of twisted pipes, abandoned reactors, and various components for maintenance, like a dead metal cemetery.

There are not even half of the ghouls here, but there is not even a little bit of light or the breath of living people. The dead silence is more terrifying than the area where the ghouls were patrolling just now.

Chu Zhixiao didn't feel the slightest fear in his heart, and he still issued orders in an orderly manner: "Qixing, send me the original structure diagram of the bottom layer of the power cabin. Hidden areas, not shown on the latest version of the map.

"Also, if you want to cut off the command of the bridge and use manual control forcibly, the operation room should be here, pay attention to monitoring and tracking at all times.

"Also, let the 'Giant Spirit' stay on top, and the same goes for 'Black Dream', none of you should come down, it's too—"

Chu Zhixiao's voice stopped abruptly.

She suddenly realized that her ears were too quiet, and Jingnao and the tracking expert "Seven Stars" did not respond.

This is not normal, with such a short distance, there shouldn't be any barrier or shield between her and the "Seven Stars".

The only answer is that she fell into a hallucination again, and was invaded by the puppet king, hijacking her visual and auditory nerves.

This guy, as the "Seven Stars" said, was cultivating his soul with outbursts of evil emotions and desires, which made him soar to an unimaginable level of terror in just a year and a half!

But... trying to trap her like this, isn't it too ridiculous?

Chu Zhixiao's mind was clear and transparent, and his soul was condensed into a gorgeous and unparalleled sword. The sword raised thousands of silvery lines, cutting the surrounding black space into pieces, and collapsed suddenly.

In front of her eyes, a dim red light appeared again. It was the light emitted by the spider chariot "Porco Rosso".

And at the end of the light, a tall and thin figure, with his hands casually in his pockets, was looking at him with a smile.

This is a young man with an ordinary appearance. His face has been expressionless for many years, making his face as smooth as an egg, but now there are deep smile lines on the egg.

He was wearing a work-specific raincoat typical of engine room maintenance workers. It was full of pockets, all bulging and bleeding.

An indescribable sense of danger penetrated Chu Zhixiao's brain, making her instantly know: "Puppet King?"

"Major Chu, hello."

The young maintenance worker smiled, "This seems to be the closest we are, isn't it?"

"It seems to be, don't move, don't stir up even the slightest brain wave, or I will directly chop you into a cloud of blood mist, and burn the blood mist into ashes."

Chu Zhixiao pressed the arc sword on his waist and approached the puppet king, "Who are you and what is your purpose?"

"Isn't my purpose all clarified in the purpose of the 'Shenxinhui'? I pursue the liberation of human nature, and I want everyone to recall what it is like to be a real human being, even if I live as a human being for just a second. Clocks are better than living as slaves and tools for a hundred years."

The Puppet King said with a smile.

"Are those ghouls what you call 'real humans'?"

Chu Zhixiao scoffed.

"The overcorrection must be overcorrected. The members of the Holy League have sunk in deceit and ignorance for too long. If it weren't for such a strong stimulus, how could they really wake them up—you?"

The puppet king blinked, "As for my name, I usually don't tell others, but if it's you, Major Chu, it's a different matter. As long as you agree to one condition, you will never tell the third party my name." I personally know that this is a secret between you and me."

"secret?"

Chu Zhixiao felt more and more ridiculous, "Do you believe my guarantee?"

"I don't quite believe it, but why not give it a try, it's worth paying a small price to 'wake up' you."

The puppet king said, "Did you know that 'secret' is an extremely important part of life, if a person has no secrets to speak of, and everything is exposed to others, then he is not a real person.

"So, start with this little secret and build your real personality, Major Chu."

Chu Zhixiao snorted lightly: "You might as well tell me your name first."

"My name is Li Yao, 'Vulture Li Yao'."

The puppet king smiled happily, "Come from the other side of the star sea, a very far away place, it's the first time we meet, please take care of me, but now, goodbye!"

Chu Zhixiao heard the sound of "Giant Spirit" Yuan Kou and "Black Dream" Yun Haixin rushing forward from behind.

And the smile on the puppet king's face was also like the little priest who turned into a ghoul just now, getting shallower and disappearing.

Her pupils shrank suddenly, and she rushed towards the puppet king recklessly.

However, before she pounced on the puppet king, from behind the puppet king, an extremely dazzling ball of light burst out from the depths of the darkness, sweeping across the stern of the entire starship, devouring everything

The only thing Chu Zhixiao can do is to raise the spiritual shield in time, and adjust the crystal armor to the "explosion-proof mode" with the strongest defense.

And her spider chariot "Porco Rosso" threw herself in front of her master desperately, waving her clumsy and ridiculous short legs, trying to protect the safety of her master, but finally, under the impact of strong light and heat, it was shattered and almost melted.

This was the last scene Chu Zhixiao saw before falling into darkness.

"Li Yao..."

Chu Zhixiao chewed the name in the dark.

Then, he bit it into pieces so hard that he swallowed it all without even spitting out the dregs.
