Chapter 1326

The words fell, the voice echoed in the quiet Meeting Room, lingering for a long time.

Already somewhat surprised by the four Fourth Stage beings just now, Mo Ling, hearing Lin An's questioning of Colonel Chu, had her surprise deepen.

Chu An is an Alien Species!?

Lin An's question was like a heavy bomb, suddenly startling her.

In a daze, she unconsciously looked at the ever-calm Chu An, feeling that the information revealed in just a few words left her somewhat dazed and overly shocked.

She usually never thought about that much. Although Chu An was weird, she also couldn't be bothered.

But after coming to her senses, she also heard why Lin An would guess that.

Indeed, after Lin An entered the instance, Chu An privately found her and told her to go straight to the Soviet battlefield. Looking back now, this clearly was Chu An's early calculation of the Alien Species' attack order!

Moreover, although Heiyu was her own choice, that faceless monster clearly had a problem, inexplicably finding her and wanting to follow her.

If not for that faceless one, Gao Tian would probably be dead now!

Facing the silent Chu An, Lin An took a deep breath.

This time, he did not intend to let Chu An evade as before.

Knowing well the terror of Alien Species, he could not help but worry about this man. If before he did not think the danger Alien Species brought could destroy everything, but after truly advancing to Fourth Stage, Lin An realized more clearly than before what Alien Species truly represent...

Yes, he could trust that Chu An might not harm him, but at this point he had to know the whole truth.

At least, he needed to know whether Chu An was human or not! What he actually wanted to do!

"Don't try to deceive me."

"Chu An, I actually thought about this long ago."

"When you first met me, you asked to join my team, saying the reason was that you knew I was a product of the Long'an Project, with hope to become a Fire Seed!"

"Heh.."

Self-mocking a smile, Lin An looked at Chu An before him with an extremely complex expression, as if the scene of their first meeting floated before his eyes.

Small building, heavy rain, campfire...

He believed that reason back then, even feeling that his secret had been discovered by Chu An! But now it seems completely false!

Indeed, Chu An could know he was a product of the Long'an Project, but what does being a product of the Long'an Project matter!

Later, the military, to counter the Apocalypse, reopened the Second Long'an Project, but did any of those produced turn out 'useful'? Perhaps the time was too short, or perhaps the revised Long'an Project could not produce warriors as terrifying as the Second Will.

But what about that earlier batch? The original Long'an Project did produce qualified warriors!

None of those people stood out in the Apocalypse, at least Lin An has never seen one!

This shows that even the strongest warrior may not perform outstandingly in this Apocalypse! The Apocalypse is too terrifying! Compared to simulation tests, the real world's difficulty is only higher, with no room for failure!

Lin An's ability to reach today is essentially an irreproducible bug-like product!

The memory from the test likely provides less than a tenth of his 'help'.

"I am a defective product."

"Perhaps the military's definition of defective product is flawed, but merely being a Long'an Project product is absolutely insufficient to make you follow me!"

"In fact, the real key to my reaching this point is that my true form is a monster, right?"

"So the so-called Fire Seed Project, the supposed desire to preserve hope for the Huaxia battlefield, is utterly false! You appeared in Baiyang Town, from the very start just for me!"

"You could only be here because of my Perfect One identity, or because you knew I could become a Perfect One!"

"But... Chu An."

"Tell me, who would truly care about a Perfect One? Who would know the terror of a Perfect One?"

"Only Alien Species know, right?"

"Just as those Alien Species would spare no effort to kill me, only another Alien Species would know my 'importance'."

"Humans, it's impossible to know."

Word by word, Lin An strode up to Chu An and looked at this man.

With the aura bursting from his body locking on, any Third Stage would feel immense pressure, but on Chu An it seemed to have no effect.

"Are you Fourth Stage?"

"Are you a member of the Alien Species? Have you betrayed your race?"

"Or do you have other plans?"

Step by step of questioning, Lin An couldn't help but speak coldly. After realizing this, he had speculated too many possibilities.

In the most likely speculation, he even wondered if Chu An was royalty among the Alien Species? Perhaps the Alien Species world also has power struggles for profit, with Chu An as a 'failed one' fleeing to this world. Just like those Alien Species occupying the high levels of the capital, one side chose the military as a starting point, gradually devouring this world.

And Chu An chose him.

Thus, all logic can be explained.

Only Alien Species who have experienced the Apocalypse know the system's various secrets; only Alien Species with far richer experience than humans know how to evade system monitoring.

Only Fourth Stage Alien Species know the secrets of Fourth Stage...

The atmosphere was heavy.

Perhaps knowing Lin An would not give up this time, after a moment Chu An silently raised his head to meet his gaze, habitually adjusting his glasses frame.

"If you say it's not..."

"Lin An, still that sentence, I won't harm you."

"I am not an Alien Species."

"Evidence!"

Hearing Chu An, as usual, give no answer, Lin An slightly clenched his fists, the coldness in his eyes intensifying.

"Bring out the evidence!"

"I can believe you won't harm me, but what about AnXia and the others!?"

"AnXia is a monster! Jing Tian is a monster! Mo Ling is a monster! Zhang Tie is also! Except Gao Tian who still counts as human, tell me.. are these really unrelated to you!?"

"I never thought about this before, but looking back, why has everyone around me turned into monsters!!?"

"Do you know how I feel now?"

"I feel you are silently influencing me, wanting me to accept my true identity!"

No one can tolerate being constantly schemed against.

Lin An admitted, he admitted that without Chu An he would have died long ago.

But as the people around him turned into monsters one by one, Lin An always had a feeling. He felt that he was growing ever more distant from humanity...

It was just like the Corpse Emperor initially preparing to deceive him, to deceive him into cooperating together.

The feeling Chu An gave him made him have to suspect that the other party also wanted to influence him in the same way.

Yes, perhaps Chu An will not harm him.

But all the indications show that Chu An is very likely subtly influencing him, turning him from a human into a true monster, to the point of accepting another identity.

The significance behind this made him shudder.

If one day, the loved ones and companions he cherishes all become monsters... even he himself is.

Then he, Lin An.

Who exactly is it?
