"How can you … treat your own daughter like that?"
Chu Zhiyun could hardly believe her ears. Her face was as awful as a broken mirror. She had nowhere to retreat, and she was almost crying. "She's your own flesh and blood!"
"So, you never understood it. Like I said just now, 'flesh and blood' is just the remnants of the primitive animal nature in us. It's a low-level, backward, and stupid emotional wave."
Zhou Xiuyun said casually, "The so-called 'human nature' is the combination of 'animal nature' and 'godhood'. Only by meditating, training, and overcoming and destroying our animal nature can we gradually approach godhood. Eventually, we will be completely melted into the brilliance of the gods and become part of the gods.
"Right now, you — None of you understand it, but it doesn't matter. If you're lucky enough to pass the 'tests' in the coming decades, you'll certainly understand that all the sufferings are illusions. All the so-called feelings and free will are just illusions. Only 'god' is the only real existence in the universe and the only thing worth defending and pursuing.
"Time's up. Be prepared to welcome your future!"
With a smile, she extended her arm, as if she were going to touch Chu Zhiyun's cheek.
Chu Zhiyun was stunned for a long time. Watching that the enemy's fingertips were about to touch her, she felt that she was faced with a cluster of hissing vipers.
She suddenly shrieked and broke free from the Purgers on both sides. She crashed at Zhou Xiuyun without caring about anything.
However, her collision only caused a small ripple, which distorted Zhou Xiuyun's image.
The three directors of the Devil Child Project, Zhou Xiuyun, Xia Yuren, and Qiu Yuanjia, appeared before them in the form of 3D phantoms. There was no telling where their real bodies were hiding in the floating fortress, just like the mysterious and unpredictable Ultimate Benevolence Masters.
Chu Zhiyun exerted too much strength and fell to the ground through Zhou Xiuyun's phantoms.
The electric arcs exploded again, and blood blossomed on her skin.
"Class Rep!"
Thangka was furious. He wanted to rush forward to rescue Chu Zhiyun, but the handcuffs on his back also emitted a strong electric arc. He curled up like a shrimp and spat out a large amount of foam from his mouth. He fell beside Chu Zhiyun.
As for the rest of the students, as long as their emotions exceeded the warning line, they all tasted the feeling of being whipped by electric arcs and pierced by shackles. It was as if ten thousand arrows had pierced through their hearts, and the pain seeped into their bones.
Those 'Devil Children' were the most dangerous genetic amalgamations that the Holy League had collected in the past thousand years, but they were only thirteen or fourteen years old after all. They stood no chance in front of the cold and tough Purgers who had received special training.
The Purgers watched the young people cramping violently coldly. It was not until the last electric arc crawled into their veins and made them unable to move at all that they finally lifted them up and dragged them to a place that seemed to be a preparation room through a transparent tube.
When the young people woke up, they discovered that the students who had been eliminated or gone missing mysteriously in the past few days were mostly caged in this place.
Some of them were still lying on the bleeding operating tables. They seemed to have just undergone craniotomy, where something had been implanted into their brains, or something had been removed.
Some of them had pierced almost twenty iron nails into their eyebrows. They had also smashed iron hoops on their heads as rails for the brain scanning and control devices. It was very convenient for them to carry all kinds of magical equipment on their heads.
Some of them even had dozens of thick crystal cables implanted into the back of their heads. They looked like weird metal braids and dragged to the ground before they were connected to all kinds of instruments. Some of them seemed to be light beam projectors. Colorful ripples and patterns were popping up, which seemed to be the feedback of their brainwaves.
Many of the students who had received bizarre brain surgeries were lying in the medical cabins in silence, waiting for their wounds to heal. Some of them bulged their eyes, with tears bursting out like torrents. They eyed the new students in fury, fear, and desperation. Their throats and limbs had been locked, and they could not make any sound at all. They could only scream silently with their heaving chests.
"This —"
The newcomers who had just woken up almost passed out again.
"Liao Meng …"
Among the students who had been tortured, Chu Zhiyun and Thangka were not surprised to find an 'old acquaintance'. It was Liao Meng, the vice monitor who had accused them in the morning.
Liao Meng had not been sent to this place for long. He should be the last one to receive the brain surgery.
His hair had been shaved, and quite a few holes had been drilled into his skull. But they had been embedded with tempered glass, so that the researchers could see the trembling of his brain clearly.
Through the 'window' of the tempered glass, it could be clearly seen that some glittering microchips were attached to Liao Meng's cerebral cortex. The microchips were also connected by crystal wires as thin as hair. They were like a giant net that had completely locked his brain.
Liao Meng had just finished the surgery. His wounds were still bleeding. The blood stains that had leaked out were hanging down from his wounds, dividing his face into dozens of pieces.
His face was like that of dozens of broken pieces of a body that had been pieced together again.
He wanted to struggle, but he couldn't move at all because the other party had used a special, flawless operating bed. It was like an iron coffin that was tailor-made for him. His hands and feet were firmly embedded in the steel, and he couldn't even move a finger by 0.1 millimeters.
"Ah … Ah … Ah …"
Liao Meng's vitality was perhaps the most tenacious of all the 'devil children'.
Even though his entire body was buried in the 'iron coffin' and only his head was exposed, even though his throat was blocked by the liquid metal, he still opened his eyes wide and let out a heart-wrenching howl that shook the operating table.
Seeing Chu Zhiyun and Thangka, Liao Meng's face was even more hideous than before. He had completely turned from a human into a beast. There was no telling whether he was ashamed of the accusation he made to Chu Zhiyun and Thangka in the morning, or regretted that he should have run away secretly instead of accusing somebody else. Or maybe, he had already realized that he would've been killed regardless of whether he accused or ran away. The situation before his eyes was his only fate. All in all, every muscle, vein, and nerve on his face was protruding, turning his face into a ghastly mask. His soul seemed to be breaking free from the tormented shell and the indestructible shackles, and he was going to explode his most violent, brilliant, and splendid will with all his vitality as the fuel.
"Ahhhhhhh!"
Liao Meng's roars grew louder and louder as he bled from his seven orifices. His blood evaporated into a bloody mist, forming a human figure that was baring its fangs and brandishing its claws outside the iron coffin. This barbaric, boorish, and extremely jealous young man, who even had chaotic feelings for Chu Zhiyun, was about to explode!
But at this moment, a soft buzzing sound came from his brain.
Through the 'window' on his skull, it could be seen that the microchips that had just been implanted into his brain were emitting vague brilliance one after another. The brilliance condensed into invisible yet unstoppable blades that penetrated deep into his brain and temporarily blocked the complicated connections among the nerves in his brain.
Liao Meng's roar came to an abrupt halt.
The anger on his face gradually dissipated, and his lively expression was replaced by confusion and dullness. The light in the young man's eyes dimmed, and his tight muscles and nerves gradually relaxed. However, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up, revealing a harmless silly smile. A trace of saliva mixed with blood flowed down and dripped on his chest.
He had completely calmed down and lost the ability to be angry — perhaps forever.
"Liao Meng …"
For some reason, Chu Zhiyun felt like crying.
She had never liked Liao Meng. He was always full of energy and was like a wild beast on fire, an unreasonable young man.
But she disliked Liao Meng right now even more. He was a walking corpse whose will had been castrated and whose life had been suppressed after receiving 'treatment'!
However, she and Liao Meng were in the same boat. Liao Meng's appearance right now was exactly her ending.
Chu Zhiyun's tears finally flowed out of her eyes.
"Cry!"
She thought to herself. "This may be the first time and the last time that I've grasped the ability to cry freely!"
Perhaps they were thinking the same thing as her. Most of the students around were sobbing in a low voice, too.
Thangka was the only one who stood behind her the whole time. He was silent and did not cry at all.
No. He did make a sound. It was not a cry but a sound that sounded like nerves were growing crazily, cells were exploding nonstop, mitochondria seemed to be burning furiously, and gene strands were savaging like a flood that had broken a dam.
"Unforgivable!"
Chu Zhiyun heard Thangka say softly in an extremely weird voice, "Absolutely unforgivable!"
Before Chu Zhiyun realized what was going on, two Purgers, who were wearing heavy Crystal Suits and looked like iron towers, had already walked to her.
Zhou Xiuyun's phantom appeared in the sky of the 'slaughterhouse of flesh' again. The sacred brilliance around her was in sharp contrast to the horrible scenes around. But she was used to it. Looking at Chu Zhiyun, she said with a smile, "You are the most perfect of the 'Devil Children' of this batch. You will be the first to solve all the mysteries about the 'heresy'!"
The two Purgers flanked Chu Zhiyun from the left and the right.
Behind them, an automatic operation bed that carried all kinds of scalpels, bone saws, and artificial limbs rose from the ground and blossomed like a man-eating flower.
One of the Purgers extended his hand and grabbed Chu Zhiyun's head.
Chu Zhiyun's head was blank. Her muscles were still paralyzed by the electric arcs, and she could not move at all. She could only watch the devil's hand covering her face.
