Chapter 463: Now That's Real Fun
Indeed!
Even though Ying Duo is starting to act like a person, we still can't take his ideas into normal human considerations.
Even though Min Tianyou truly intends to eliminate Mei Weisi with single‑minded resolve, at a time like this it's inevitable to feel sorrow for her.
At the same time, not only are so many people after her life, even her own "companions" are sharpening their knives.
"How do you want to cooperate?"
Min Tianyou was somewhat curious; honestly, reaching out to Ying Duo was partly to test his stance, and he didn't expect to still be able to see Luo Jinyou.
Although Luo Jinyou was abducted by them, it now seems he's getting along quite well with Ying Duo.
"First hear your plan? My demands aren't many; just let me fire a shot at her, and wherever I can cooperate with you elsewhere, I'll try my best."
Mei Weisi, you've drawn so much hatred.
"....... I'm not at liberty to disclose the detailed plan, after all this revenge scheme is mainly led by another like‑minded partner of mine."
"She's been preparing for this day longer than I have; perhaps it's already underway."
Suddenly, his communicator rang.
That was the device Min Tianyou bought on the black market as soon as he arrived in Heavenly Dome City; who could contact him needs no explanation.
The person opposite sent a video; Min Tianyou didn't rush to open it, merely waved his communicator with full sincerity and spoke.
"Want to watch it together?"
——————————————
At the same time, across Heavenly Dome City, every large screen and even the energy frequencies broadcasting related programs were forcibly hijacked.
Each screen played the same video.
"Good day, citizens of Heavenly Dome City."
The voice from the communicator was clearly processed, distorted and somewhat garbled, yet the content remained audible.
"Everyone, what do you think distinguishes humans from Aberrant Species?"
The voice in the video remained immersed in its own speech; the footage showed no person, only a pure black background.
"Aberrant Species are irrational, ferocious beasts with ugly appearances, mercilessly snatching away everything we cherish."
"But if Aberrant Species are no longer as people perceive them, if they can retain self‑awareness, keep a human appearance, be indistinguishable from normal humans, or even stronger, can they still be called 'Aberrant Species'?"
"Or should they be called—'New Humans'?"
On the streets, some people stopped to watch, some looked up at the mall's exterior screen, some lingered at a bar doorway staring at the TV inside, and some rolled down car windows to poke half a head out.
Although the speech in the video was passionate, in reality hardly anyone was moved.
Co‑Absorption is arguably the most notorious cult organization; their twisted doctrines were already singled out for explanation back when the Dome organized anti‑fraud outreach.
Fortunately, the person inside didn't stay immersed in his performance and soon exposed their sinister true nature.
"The recent New-type Exotic virus appearing in Heavenly Dome City was spread by us."
The voice remained distorted, but the tone shifted from the speaker's fervor to a calm statement.
"Moreover, we have long buried the Mutation Source throughout Heavenly Dome City, ready to detonate at any moment."
A map dotted densely with red markers was displayed, the points nearly covering every area of Heavenly Dome City—commercial, residential, industrial zones, even regions around Dome Headquarters.
"We only want a chance, a chance to dialogue with the Dome, not a threat, not extortion, just to discuss our shared future with you."
After watching the video, Ying Duo blinked, Luo Jinyou looked a bit bewildered, and Min Tianyou's mouth twitched involuntarily.
Min Tianyou knew this woman wanted to make a big, high‑profile scene, but didn't expect her to be so thoughtless.
After a moment of silence, Ying Duo posed a deadly question to Min Tianyou:
"Is your like‑minded partner an Aberrant Species?"
Min Tianyou's body tensed, he leaned back, "Would that disappoint you? After all, the Supervision Bureau has always taken exterminating all Aberrant Species as its mission."
"That won't be the case, since you've already resigned."
Moreover, when Min Tianyou was in the Supervision Bureau, he was clearly not an upright person.
As he himself said, compared to being a legitimate prophet in the Supervision Bureau, he preferred being a 'detective' who could touch many gray areas.
Ying Duo ignored that question and instead asked a more important one.
"Does she still claim to be Hua Mei Niao?"
Min Tianyou didn't expect Ying Duo to guess her identity; she should have just arrived in Heavenly Dome City, meaning she rushed to seek Co‑Absorption's allegiance as soon as she got here?
Min Tianyou again felt a headache over his incompetent teammate.
Although he intended to exploit her ignorance of the real situation, he didn't expect she'd already be in contact with Co‑Absorption.
"She doesn't know the true identity of the Bee Queen?"
It's known that Hua Mei Niao showed great eagerness and admiration for joining Co‑Absorption, yet she also said she needed to find someone to avenge first, meaning that person couldn't be a Co‑Absorption member.
Min Tianyou's target is the Bee Queen, but he also regarded Hua Mei Niao as a 'partner', so he must have uncovered Mei Weisi's identity.
"She doesn't know that the Dome's Mutation Department equals Co‑Absorption?"
That's the crux of the matter.
Because almost everyone around them knows this fact; to them it's as common as anything, yet the Dome highly guards its reputation and hides it well from ordinary people and nobles alike.
Whether in the Dome or the Church, Co‑Absorption stands as a cult organization and a human enemy.
Ying Duo must retract his earlier thought; this Hua Mei Niao doesn't seem very clever.
Min Tianyou surely guessed that, and his silence already explains many issues.
Simply put, Hua Mei Niao bears a grudge against Mei Weisi; after becoming an Aberrant Species she tries to revenge her while joining Co‑Absorption.
But she doesn't know that Mei Weisi has long been a member of Co‑Absorption under the guise of the Bee Queen; Min Tianyou is exploiting this, planning to use Hua Mei Niao as a pawn to eliminate Mei Weisi.
Now that's a bit hellish......
For that Hua Mei Niao.
Thinking about Bai Mu Yun's suggestion just now makes it even more hellish, using Co-Absorption and the Dome's forces to help her settle an old grudge; do we also have to perform a self‑versus‑self?
This is really fun.
"Speaking of it, roughly what level is this painted‑eyebrow bird?"
Ying Duo felt a little stir again.
