Chapter 74: Chapter 69 The Third Party Forces
Xu Mo left the city gate and didn’t take the main road but rather a shortcut, then slipped into a deserted residential area.
There were still pursuers behind, and the Mecha would catch up sooner or later; on the main road, he couldn’t shake them off.
In hand was the Everson War Saber, relentless in pursuit.
The two ran for a long time.
In an old, dilapidated building under dim light, Xu Mo stopped.
He turned around, facing Everson.
Everson raised his War Saber, his eyes serious. Although he had the advantage of equipment, Xu Mo was strong, so he had to give it his all.
His advantage was that Xu Mo couldn’t kill him.
And as long as he could land a blow, Xu Mo would undoubtedly die.
With such a huge advantage, he didn’t believe he couldn’t kill Xu Mo.
“Are you from above ground?” Xu Mo asked, appearing very calm.
The angrier he was, the calmer he became.
“Yes,” Everson responded nonchalantly.
“How many people came?” Xu Mo asked, having seen three; Master Batu killed one, but fell at the hands of another.
And then there was Everson in front of him.
Everson was puzzled, what was Xu Mo asking for?
“A dead man doesn’t need to know so much.” As Everson spoke, his body charged towards Xu Mo.
Xu Mo watched his figure, and a hissing sound emitted, a powerful Energy Field was in turmoil.
This moment under Xu Mo’s helmet, his eyes shone with a terrible strange light, silver light as if it contained terrifying energy.
“Hiss…” Above his head, all the lights flickered at the same time.
Electricity was flowing wildly, mixing with the energy.
Violent sounds emerged as the electrical currents descended directly upon Xu Mo’s body, running through his dark Battle Armor and into his War Saber.
In front of Everson, a most spectacular scene unfolded.
“Source Power.”
Everson slowed his pace, his complexion changing in shock, how did Xu Mo do it?
Could it be that he had awakened a Superpower?
While he pondered, Xu Mo also moved, bathed in the currents, carrying terrifying Power as he charged forward.
Everson didn’t have time to think, he struck with his Chopping Blade, but his movements were more heavily constrained this time, as if he were stuck in a quagmire.
“Bang!”
The dark Chopping Blade cleaved down, slamming into Everson’s body, sending him flying and crashing heavily to the ground.
Everson stood up, and Xu Mo descended again, his War Saber chopping down towards his head, another loud noise, and Everson, who had just stood up, collapsed again.
Everson had never imagined he could be so embarrassed. Rising to look at his Battle Armor, it was still unbroken.
His cold eyes fixed on Xu Mo, “You can’t break the armor, how will you kill?”
If he couldn’t kill him, it would be Xu Mo who died.
“Bang.”
Xu Mo’s body surged forward again, Everson lifted his blade, his movements restricted, Xu Mo’s War Saber chopped down.
This time it was a series of blows, each strike landing on Everson’s Battle Armor, draining its energy.
A loud noise, Xu Mo’s War Saber cleaved at Everson’s neck, causing him to collapse onto the ground violently.
Everson’s head swayed, he tried to struggle to rise, but saw Xu Mo directly stepping on his hand, dragging it across the ground.
Everson’s War Saber fell to the ground.
Xu Mo also set down his War Saber, grabbed Everson’s head with both hands, and lifted him up.
Lifted into the air.
Facing each other, Everson saw the eyes in the helmet shining with silver Energy Light.
At this moment, Everson felt a surge of intense fear.
How could such a Monster exist in the Underworld?
He realized that Xu Mo could control Source Power with spiritual power, creating an Energy Field.
“I can take you up.” Everson spoke to Xu Mo, his tone no longer as dominant as before.
Xu Mo didn’t respond; his hands gripped the other’s head, the silver light in his pupils growing ever more brilliant.
Above him, electricity coursed wildly, emitting a piercing hissing sound.
“Kill!”
As Xu Mo spoke, streams of electricity slashed down on Everson.
In that space, it was as if many bolts of Lightning passed through, illuminating the old residential building.
The powerful currents exhausted the Battle Armor’s energy, then permeated inside it, Everson’s body inside shook violently, then turned entirely into a charred color, shockingly electrocuted alive.
Xu Mo let go of his hands, stripped off the Battle Armor from Everson’s body, and picked up his War Saber.
Then he cut off Everson’s head and tossed it into the garbage heap in the alley next to him.
Everson could never have dreamed that an elite from the world above would die in such a horrific manner below, murdered and then beheaded.
After finishing all this, Xu Mo left, he didn’t return to the city-state right away but went in the opposite direction.
……
After Xu Mo left, Everson’s body was found.
The main force arrived and sealed off the area but found no trace of Xu Mo.
Only the nearby residents mentioned seeing an electrical anomaly.
The Commander didn’t understand, he ordered the search area to be expanded to capture the wanted criminal.
But Xu Mo seemed to have vanished, not found.
The search operation continued, spreading out from the main city center, but still, no person was found.
Meanwhile, both the City State Guard and the Law Enforcement Team showed signs of passive resistance.
The words of Master Batu before his capture had a great impact on the members of the City State Guard.
Especially the guard’s core layer, who all hoped that one day they could ascend.
But if what Master Batu said was true.
So, where did the members of the City State Guard who left before go?
This couldn’t help but send shivers down their spines.
Are they really just the wretches of the Underworld?
In the Underworld, the City State Guard also had infinite glory, belonging to the ruling class.
The incident was also fermenting among the people.
The Valen Factory incident a year ago was not a coincidence; the chubby man who went on a rampage in the main urban district turned out to be the former City State Guard Captain.
Moreover, his wife was a member of the laboratory.
It was the first time the public had heard about the laboratory; if the Valen Factory gene experiments were conducted by the laboratory.
Then, how could the Council possibly be unaware?
Is the entire Underworld just one large factory?
Panic was spreading.
Although there was no riot, after the news was released, the people felt waves of sorrow.
They had a vague feeling that all of this might be true.
Wanted criminals might not necessarily be thugs.
The City State Guard and the Law Enforcement Team might not necessarily be the ‘law-enforcing’ heroes.
Perhaps, the ‘black and white’ of the entire world is reversed.
Laboratories, monsters, Genetic Warriors, gene experiments!
These unfamiliar terms were assaulting the hearts of the people.
Emotions were spreading, and everyone felt an intense oppression.
It seemed that if there were a catalyst, this suppressed emotion could explode.
The Council over there was frantically blocking the news and soothing the emotions of the laboratory staff, City State Guard, and Law Enforcement Team members.
Many people from the laboratory were from the Underworld.
They didn’t care about the public, but they couldn’t neglect themselves.
The City State Guard and the Law Enforcement Team felt the same.
What did the life and death of the lower class citizens have to do with them?
But, Master Batu’s words touched on their personal interests.
People were anxious.
However, thanks to the reassurances from the laboratory leadership and the Councilmen, they did not act out.
Only a suppressed emotion was accumulating, and at the same time, they wanted to verify whether Master Batu’s words were true.
……
Within a manor in the main urban district.
On the outside, everything seemed normal, even guarded, and no one had come to inspect this place.
But inside the manor, a secret laboratory was hidden.
Within this laboratory, there were various types of equipment.
Mia was here.
Elsa was also here.
At the moment, both of them were in a state of deep sleep.
They were still connected to various types of equipment.
Even on Mia’s head, there were many device connectors attached.
“Drip, drip, drip, drip…”
At this moment, the equipment nearby began to emit sharp, piercing noises.
Mia in her sleep kept shaking her head.
Someone next to the equipment looked at it, only to see lines on it.
These lines were undergoing violent changes, and the sound became more and more piercing.
Tears began to fall from Mia’s closed eyes, and a sad emotion spread throughout the laboratory.
The experimenters nearby also felt that sadness, their moods becoming extremely gloomy.
“S series, Spiritual.”
The researchers thought to themselves, noting the powerful emotional contagion.
At this moment, many images appeared in Mia’s mind, images that were too shocking for her.
She saw a small body being placed into a container filled with liquid, feeling like she was suffocating, about to die.
She saw the indifferent faces around her, all laboratory staff.
She also saw many others who shared her fate.
She saw her mother, who was killed trying to save her.
She saw her father, who was handsome back then, going mad trying to save her, injecting himself with Genetic Evolution Liquid, killing others, then fleeing with her while covered in wounds and his clothes soaked in blood.
Mia wept in pain, feeling suffocated, hopeless.
She knew that small body was herself.
No wonder she was in such pain when she saw the photo a year ago; they were another her, people who shared her fate.
“Drip, drip, drip…”
“Bang!”
The equipment nearby dimmed down, having short-circuited.
At the same time, Mia also opened her eyes, already tear-streaked.
Mia stared blankly at the ceiling, wondering why her father never let her touch darkness.
Her destiny was already dark enough; her father wanted her to see light, to feel the light, and to heal the shadows left from her childhood.
Although she didn’t remember, the shadows were always there, her deep sorrow influencing her from within.
Even Master Batu’s words could not dissolve that sorrow.
“Miss Mia,” a beautiful figure walked in.
“How is my father?” Mia sat up and asked.
“Severely injured, captured,” the person replied!
