Chapter 221: Life Assimilation Experiment!

Life Assimilation Experiment!

Three liars completed a perfect cooperation.

The moment the two Law-Enforcers entered, the three people covered by the Silent Lizard skin were not discovered.

And when the old scholar left, the acrobat Gao San immediately flashed out and snapped Figol's neck. At the same time, Cheng Shi opened the mouse cage and released Li Wu, letting Li Wu approach the corpse himself and tear off the soul parasitism card on his body to stick it onto the corpse.

At that moment, Li Wu was "reborn."

Everyone knew what happened next; this unlucky attendant was, without surprise, pitted by "his own people."

At this very moment, he watched the sharp blade tip constantly wandering over his body, his face gloomy and uncertain.

Clearly, this was a knight with faith, but no matter how much faith one had, one couldn't withstand the interrogation of a demon, and Cheng Shi was precisely the demon who understood the human heart best.

"Hmm, I can see it; you aren't afraid of death, but it doesn't matter. I know a little psychology and know that people always have fears.

Your faith seems very firm, but I happen to have some things that can soften this firmness."

Saying this, Cheng Shi took out a... black pill from his personal space.

"Do you know what this is?

Disorder Sediment, a specialty of the Yu Hui Church.

Perhaps at this time you don't know what the Yu Hui Church is, but I can tell you that it's a group of lunatics hiding underground creating chaos, the lucky ones watched by 【Chaos】.

Oh, I remember now, at this time 【Chaos】 seems not to have descended yet, you should not have heard His divine name, but it doesn't matter. His messenger, Lord Ultraman, has already brought His will here, to the Grand Tribunal.

You only need to know that He is the lifelong enemy of 【Order】, the nightmare of all order, and the end of all order.

And now, as long as I let you swallow this 'Disorder Sediment,' you can be like them, completely abandoning 【Order】 and embracing 【Chaos】. In this way, everything you currently believe in and want to maintain will become what you despise and are about to destroy.

How about it? Isn't it interesting?

I'll give you one more chance. Are you willing to speak now?"

Cheng Shi picked his nostril with one hand and held this "Disorder Sediment" with the other, rolling it back and forth on the attendant's trembling skin and pale lips.

Originally, if it were just being forced to take medicine, this punishment might not have been so terrifying, but when the interrogator in front of you was a freak who liked to pick his iron nostril, this terrifying pressure instantly rose.

After all, you couldn't understand what kind of perverted acts a pervert would show you.

Seeing that the attendant still wouldn't open his mouth, Cheng Shi continued:

"Alright, let's get practical. If you can answer my questions truthfully, at least... you will die in my hands.

Instead of dying in the hands of those so-called friends of yours, this way you can also retain your final dignity. How about it?"

Various emotions mingled and flashed in the attendant's eyes. He looked at Cheng Shi with terror and hatred, and after only a second of eye contact, he was defeated by those pure eyes that didn't look like a demon's at all.

"I'll speak... I'll speak!

Don't turn me into His believer, I beg you, don't push me toward 【Cha... os】."

Cheng Shi raised an eyebrow and smiled happily.

"That depends on whether the information you provide is true or false."

"It's true... everything is true. I've long since had enough of guarding these things that blaspheme my Lord in this sunless underground...

They are blaspheming 【Order】, they are despising the law, they are... utilizing the rules...

The experimental material I mentioned is... all the deathmatch prisoners!

Including you all..."

The moment the attendant finished speaking, the three liars at the scene all narrowed their eyes. They first looked at the attendant together, and then quickly sized each other up.

Li Wu and Gao San both nodded slightly toward Cheng Shi, which undoubtedly indicated that the interrogated person wasn't lying.

Interesting, the Tower of Reason is using the prisoners of the Grand Tribunal for experiments?

Who gave them the guts?

That lord—Figol mentioned that lord before his death—who is he?

Is he the mastermind secretly colluding with the Tower of Reason? Or a mole cultivated by the Tower of Reason in the Grand Tribunal?

This seemed to be an interesting story, so much so that Cheng Shi really wanted to move a stool to listen to him tell it slowly.

And the attendant had no other choice. Under the pressure of his faith's betrayal and the intense gaze of the three liars, he told everything that happened in this underground laboratory truthfully.

This attendant was named Nisk, originally a member of the Iron Law Knights.

One day, he and many Iron Law Knights were selected by a first-level Inquisitor to execute a "Special Law Mission," and the destination of the mission was here, the secret laboratory beneath the Montelani Arena.

This laboratory had no name, and its existence was not recorded by the official Grand Tribunal. In the first few years after Nisk and his companions arrived, they didn't know the purpose of the Inquisitors secretly building this laboratory. They only knew that at the end of the year when the New Law faction promulgated the deathmatch penalty, the laboratory was completed almost at the same time as the Montelani Arena. From then on, more and more people in Gaoshan County were sentenced to the deathmatch penalty.

But the so-called deathmatch penalty was not a crime at all, but a pretext and illusion to cover up the output of this laboratory.

Because this laboratory was transporting experimental subjects wearing mysterious helmets outward, including all the deathmatch prisoners, Cheng Shi's current identity included!

The experiment conducted inside the laboratory wasn't complicated to talk about; it had a simple and easy-to-understand name, called:

Life Assimilation Experiment!

The host of the experiment was named Serius, the very old man who had just walked out of here.

Although none of the guards of this underground laboratory knew his true identity, under so many obvious "pieces of evidence," anyone could guess that he was a scholar of the Tower of Reason.

To be honest, before the civil war on the surface broke out, the relationship between the Grand Tribunal and the Tower of Reason was good. The two only had different faiths, but they still had many similarities in the construction of 【Civilization】 and often had some cooperation.

However, this state of "gentlemanly friendship" ceased to exist after the Tower of Reason was the first to erupt into civil war. And precisely at this time, the Tower of Reason was already deeply mired in war!

Serius came to the Grand Tribunal before this period.

Of course, all the information regarding Serius's appearance was Nisk's speculation; the only thing he was certain of was the part regarding the experiment.

The purpose of this experiment was very simple: the Inquisitors, taking precautions, wanted to resist the spread of the Tower of Reason's war flames to the borders of the Grand Tribunal, so they tested and manufactured a batch of killing weapons for war in advance!

Yes, killing weapons!

Killing weapons just like the Tower of Reason's war machine soldiers.

It's just that the Tower of Reason's war machine soldiers used the "Truth" of the Mechanical Engineering Department, while the killing weapons produced here used the "Truth" of the Life Extension Department.

Serius was a great scholar of the Life Extension Department.

And the content of the experiment was to inject a mysterious potion called "Life Assimilation Agent" into several "lucky ones" who were caught for violating the new law, turning them into so-called "Life Assimilation Bodies."

And when one of the Life Assimilation Bodies killed another Life Assimilation Body in the same group of potion, the "Assimilation Power" buried deep within the winner would plunder the loser's power in all aspects, thereby piling the winner's life force to a higher level in a way that was almost like infusion and superposition.

This method was more like "reproduction" and "inheritance" between parallel life forms.

After such an operation, the final winner would become a war machine with excellent physique and outstanding strength, and "life defects" that were easy to control had long been mixed into the "Life Assimilation Agent." Under the summoning of special means, these final winners would become the strongest warriors who obeyed orders.

This was the entire content of the experiment.

When Cheng Shi and the others heard this, the three people's tightly frowned brows didn't relax for a long time.

This attendant named Nisk indeed had no problem with what he said; at least, he himself believed it was all true.

But after listening to it once, Cheng Shi still discovered many places that couldn't be understood, for example:

Since it was to have strangers kill each other, why did they have to wear a helmet that looked expensive and even contained the power of 【Prosperity】?

Also, if it was just to kill each other, why did they have to go on stage in order? In this situation, group fighting should be able to stimulate the ferocity of the "weapons" more, right?

And the method of group deathmatches was clearly more able to attract the audience's attention, and by the way, sell high-priced tickets.

Furthermore, thinking from the perspective of an experiment, since death could bring experimental benefits, why did they have to let these people deathmatch in full view? Wouldn't it be better to mechanically let them passively kill each other? This way, experimental efficiency could be improved.

There were too many doubts, but Nisk could answer limitedly. He had long suffered from the inner torment of "worshipping 【Order】 while breaking order in secret," and didn't pay much attention to the details of this laboratory, so facing Cheng Shi's massive amount of questions, he stammered for a long time and couldn't answer.

But knowing this much was enough. Cheng Shi now only wanted to know one more question, and that was:

"The lord you mentioned, is that the first-level Inquisitor who let you come here to guard? Who is he?"

Nisk's face turned pale, and he shook his head.

"No, it's not him. The lord I mentioned is...

One of those three most noble and honorable existences...

The favored one of 【Order】, the Supreme Inquisitor of the Grand Tribunal, the true controller of the Iron Law Knights, Lord Kein Laoer." ===== CHAPTER 222 =====
