Chapter 555

~6 min read 1,119 words

After the tall, olive-skinned man approached the surreal queue, a woman walked toward him, shaking her body, showing her charm with her movements.

"Cain" smiled simply and nodded.

The woman stepped back, lowered her head, and clapped her hands to her chest.

Adrien looked at his partner:

"If I don't think so, then it won't do us any good."

"So, I do think we can survive, can we move on?"

Bates smiled and nodded, this was exactly what she had hoped for.

"Since that's the case, do you remember our conversation last night? About staying in Europe for three months, or ten days on the moon?"

"Remember."

"We should get quite a few vacations after this," Bates said, carefully stepping on the rose petals scattered by the bulbous monster.

"Three months in Europe shouldn't be a problem, want to come with me?"

"Of course." Adrien said.

"On our honeymoon?"

"Yeah."

Adrien took Bates's hand, their fingers tightly intertwined, feeling each other's body temperature and the soft touch of their limbs.

That was a promise called life and death together.

Ahead on the road, the strange surreal queue stopped at the intersection, turned right, and continued dancing without missing a beat.

Seeing this, Adrien and Bates looked at each other, followed "Cain" to continue forward, and entered the darkness.

In the Goethe Hotel, March 7th frowned: "Isn't this what Bai Xuan said, setting a FLAG before the war? They... should be able to survive, right?"

As she spoke, she looked at "Stelle": "I always feel 'Cain' is weird, not like a good person in the traditional sense 090, but 'Abel' is even less like a good person."

"Stelle" didn't answer. Under "Cain"'s smile, something she couldn't understand seemed to be hidden.

But, if there were to be a judgment, shouldn't it be made by Bai Xuan, who has a certain friendship with the Foundation?

Seeing the gaze drifting toward him inadvertently, Bai Xuan didn't hide it.

"'Cain' is a fratricide, 'Abel' once died at the hands of 'Cain'."

"Ah?"

Not long after, a building appeared in their field of vision, with a logo of three inward-pointing arrows printed on two circles on the wall.

"Cain" walked to the security console outside the door and pressed his palm onto the scanner.

"Clang!"

After a huge sound, a series of mechanical operations and electronic sounds rang out, and then the door lock opened.

"From now on," "Cain" said, "I will follow you in, you two go in first."

"Is this some kind of prophecy?" Adrien was a bit strange.

"Inevitable things." "Cain" replied.

"..."

Adrien and Bates stood in front of the door with their guns, vigilantly facing the slowly opening door.

But in an instant, a sudden change occurred!

A sharp whirring sound rang out, just like a dentist's drill.

Behind the door.

Two steel arms burst out, and in Adrien's confused and sluggish gaze, they tightly clamped onto Bates's head.

The parting came so quickly.

The agent's well-trained consciousness couldn't even react; Adrien had lost his other half, the other half of his soul.

Everyone only heard a sound like a broken green onion from Bates.

"Crack!"

Human bones are so fragile in front of anomalies; with just a light squeeze, the beautiful life went limp.

The audience was dumbfounded, never expecting Bates to exit in this way.

"Cain"'s words became increasingly strange, as if he had actively let Adrien and Bates go to their deaths.

Soon, the camera fell on Adrien's surprised and painful eyes.

Bates?

Bates!!!

Adrien slowly opened his mouth, letting out a scream of extreme pain from the depths of his heart.

And the other part of him remained calm, pulling the trigger of his gun.

"Ah!!!!!!!!"

Bang! Bang! Bang!

That was a clean and decisive burst of fire.

The target was the steel girl with a beautiful face and an alluring figure, but born for slaughter.

But when the bullets hit the steel doll, they became a metal disc due to the huge stress and fell to the ground.

Adrien was still continuing.

(bbda) However, such anger could only last for a while.

He heard the fatal light sound.

"Click! Click! Click!"

That was the sound of running out of ammunition.

No matter how Adrien pulled the trigger, the machine spirit was not pleased, and did not let the rifle spray out more bullets.

Adrien dropped the rifle, pulled out his pistol from the holster, and continued to pull the trigger in a roar.

His vision was already blurred, he didn't know why, he only knew his hand was moving on its own, just like a machine, just like "Abel" wanted him to become, just like his superiors wanted him to become.

The steel doll stood still.

Its joints emitted a bright blue light, and complex gear structures spun wildly between the discs.

Its head tilted to one side, and it opened its mouth full of gears and wires.

Hum!

A scorching jet flashed by.

At the critical moment, Adrien dodged it.

A violent storm, and the torn-apart Foundation facility exploded behind him.

Adrien felt the passage of time slow down—his left leg first felt a sharp pain, then suddenly became numb.

Then, he was flipped to the ground.

Bates's body lay not far away, eyes open, looking at Adrien without moving.

Adrien's face was twisted, his right hand holding the gun, gritting his teeth, wanting to use his left hand to support himself to stand up.

Only then did he realize that he no longer had legs to stand on.

And on the side, in the explosion whistling through the entire room, the steel doll slowly appeared.

Adrien looked outside the room at the man smiling gently.

He seemed to always be smiling.

Yeah, "Cain" is a fratricide, the ancestor of all evil people in the world...

"Humanoid anomalies really shouldn't be treated as normal people." Himeko frowned, showing unbearable expression.

Now, she even began to doubt whether "Cain" was really here to rescue Omega-7 as he said.

The conflict between him and "Abel" was not shallow, and whether he would transfer the conflict and hatred to his brother's subordinates.

She didn't know.

Adrien felt some part of his body screaming, but it was useless, it couldn't be useful, but he had no other choice...

He turned around and saw the steel doll accelerating, its joints emitting dazzling strong light.

It rushed toward "Cain" quickly, ready to smash and tear everything apart, in order to reach what it hated.

The steel doll's fist, with power exceeding all high-speed trains, slammed into "Cain"'s face.

The rune on "Cain"'s forehead flashed with dazzling blue light, illuminating the entire corridor like a flash... ===== CHAPTER 557 =====
