Chapter 666: Powerless

"Is everything done?"

In a dark basement somewhere, a majestic old man sitting surrounded by people was questioning a young man who was half-kneeling in front of him with an unhappy expression.

If Lun Heping could be here, it would be easy to recognize that the young man kneeling on one knee was the masked man who almost killed him at Hui's house.

"Let me tell Mr. Mingluo, I have reached an agreement with Detective David Li of the New York City Search Division two days ago. They will put both cases on Leinster's adopted son and then close the case as quickly as possible."

"Complete the mission as soon as possible and recover the Source Stone in his hand, and your punishment can be halved."

"Yes!" the young man replied excitedly, as if he had remembered something bad.

Ever since the matter of retrieving the Origin Stone from Lun Heping a few days ago was interfered with by his companion Ying Ying who suddenly went crazy, he had received a rather serious punishment from the organization for failing the mission due to pretentiousness.

Of course, the main person responsible was actually Yingying, who had a sudden onset of physical side effects. But she was the leader's favorite daughter, and she was also mentally a little abnormal at ordinary times, so the blame could only be left to him.

…

"The big shots in the empire seem to be eager to recover the Source Stone...even resorting to robbery." After coming out of the basement, the young man put on his iconic cat-face mask.

"Could it be that they discovered that the Source Stone has other uses besides generating electricity, so they rushed to recover the Source Stone?"

The cat-faced young man is only a small, middle- and low-level cadre in this organization that serves the dark side of the empire, and his life and death depend on the organization, but this does not hinder his curiosity.

Unfortunately, his understanding of the Origin Stone is limited to knowing that it cannot be touched directly with hands, otherwise the skin and muscles will be corroded without any pain.

As for the miraculous effects of the Origin Stone, that is not something that a pawn at his level can know.

…

"Kitten, this week's px-01."

When the cat-faced masked man was walking on the road thinking about life, his only friend in the organization threw him a bottle of turbid liquid glowing with green light.

Seeing this thing, the masked man felt a little numb, but he still had to take it.

His real name is Zhou Tong. He is an orphan adopted by the Iron Hand organization that serves the dark side of the empire. He is responsible for doing some less visible things.

A few months ago, as a low-level cannon fodder, he was recruited by the superiors to a secret laboratory affiliated to the empire. Along with a group of orphans who were also cannon fodder, he became a guinea pig for a new drug.

It was an experience that was worse than life and death. Every time he recalled it, his legs would tremble involuntarily.

After pinching his nose and suppressing his nausea instinct to drink the tube of blue stuff, the excruciating pain and horrific itching allergic reaction almost caused him to have a nervous breakdown.

He banged his head against the wall and scratched his body carelessly until it was covered with blood. He mutilated himself like a mad dog in the secret room where he took the medicine.

The torture of the drug lasted maybe two or three days.

He didn't know what the other people were like. Anyway, among the dozens of cannon fodder orphans who were recruited together, only three of them left the laboratory alive.

But if you survive a catastrophe, you will be blessed later.

After that horrific experience, Zhou Tong found that his physical fitness had been incredibly improved, and could even be said to have surpassed human limits.

One hundred meters in seven seconds, standing long jump and one ten-meter jump... Various world record-breaking results in the secret testing venue completely overturned his three views.

However, the price paid is also huge. Now he must drink a bottle of green stabilizing medicine px-01 every week to suppress part of the immune system so that his body will not undergo autophagy.

Without the stabilizing agent, these little supermen can only live for two months at most.

Of course, after his power expanded like a rocket, his status within the organization also increased.

From a cannon fodder who will die in an uninhabited corner who doesn't know which day, to a captain who will die in an uninhabited corner who doesn't know one day, with dozens of people under his command who will die in an uninhabited corner who doesn't know one day. Cannon fodder who died in a deserted corner.

…

"How could it be such a coincidence that the son of Sir Leinster's evil uncle suddenly became interested in the Leinster family's property..."

He originally just wanted to blame Lun Heping for the death of Hui's family, but when he handed money to Detective David Li on behalf of the organization, he unexpectedly discovered that there was another group of people with similar intentions.

David Li, who had done something and had two families' money, was naturally overjoyed, and the other two parties also returned home happily.

Now the last problem left is to catch Lun Heping and send him to the gallows so that the matter can have a happy ending.

Isn't it easy to catch a high school student who doesn't have a lot of money when professionals from the Police Search Department take action?

It's just that all of them have ignored that the Leinster family actually has an adopted daughter, but this guy has been in a mental hospital for more than ten years, and few people know that she is still alive.

In order to save face and prevent rumors that there was a madman in the family from affecting his reputation in the aristocratic circle, Sir Leinster announced that his adopted daughter had died unexpectedly as early as ten years ago.

However, the old jazz man was both face-conscious and affectionate. Although he claimed that his adopted daughter fell into the sea and died and arranged a funeral for her, in fact, he used a pseudonym to fund Roentgen's life at the Violet Hospital every year.

And this is also the real reason why she has been neither salty nor cold towards the Leinster couple since she regained consciousness.

Lun Heping, the only one who knew the truth, was given a gag order at a very young age and was prohibited from talking about related matters.

…

"The person who killed my father and framed me was also a noble... In addition, they have bribed the detective of the Search and Search Department, so I have no chance of winning in court."

Through the conversations he overheard in the past few days and his own reasoning, although Lun Heping has not been able to confirm who specifically killed his adoptive parents, he has also confirmed that the murderer must be the few nobles who came to divide the family property. among.

Lying in his room, he felt a sense of powerlessness covering his whole body. Without the support of his adoptive parents, he was a commoner and had no plug-ins. How could he bring down the nobles who had colluded with the Police Department...

The frustrated Lun Heping didn't even take off her skirt. She just took off the wig and silicone mask on her head, then curled up under the quilt to escape reality.

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!"

He roared feebly, deeply hating his own incompetence. Even if he knew the real culprits, he still had no ability to bring them to justice.
