I'm the Mysterious Leader of the Salvation Organization-Chapter 490:
Chapter 490:
"Ouch, uncles, wah wah wah, it hurts so much, I really can’t take it anymore, wah wah wah, please, please let me go."
On the operating table lay a little girl who appeared to be around ten years old, dressed in a loose white patient gown. She had cat ears and looked like a half-animal person.
She trembled all over, tears streaming down her face, sweat pouring like rain, as her little face contorted in pain.
A certain unknown medicine was subjecting the little girl to unimaginable nightmares, causing irreversible devastation to her already fragile body.
But the numerous experimenters surrounding her showed no mercy.
The fate that awaited her was to end up here, after her parents were deceived and driven to suicide due to financial troubles.
A very common situation.
"Ah, ah, um…"
The little girl suddenly started to convulse violently. She opened her mouth, her eyes rolled back, and she fainted, drooling from her mouth.
The researchers immediately checked and calmly said, "Her heart has stopped. It seems she won’t make it. While she is still alive, let’s transfer all her organs."
The others nodded in agreement, everyone remained composed, and they skillfully carried out the task.
Hovering in mid-air, the little flying contraption hovered precisely above the girl’s abdomen, extending a special surgical knife in preparation…
"I know, according to the logic of this city, you are just hardworking workers, and your actions are not really evil. But unfortunately, I am not a wise judge, but a more reckless being."
The researchers suddenly heard a sound behind them and became slightly startled.
Just as they were about to turn their heads to look, the surgical robot in mid-air emitted a beeping sound and abruptly spun around, swiftly and accurately severing their necks with its surgical knife.
"Um, ah…"
Blood gushed out as the researchers, in pain and helplessness, collapsed.
Bai Yan walked forward with a smile, extending his hand, taking turns using spells and the power of the mind to treat the little girl who was on the verge of danger, both physically and emotionally.
"Just did something that could be considered as breaking the law, but you know, laws are just tools of the ruling class. The ruling class of the Ring City and I are not on the same side."
Bai Yan closed his eyes and the immense power of his mind began to rapidly spread, enveloping the entire laboratory. In an instant, numerous researchers were engulfed by fear, their consciousness swallowed. Meanwhile, countless "debtors awaiting resolution" were being rescued.
Mu Ling and Maryse stood beside Bai Yan, witnessing everything that was happening.
Mu Ling kept frowning throughout, feeling a chilling evil in everything happening here. But what disturbed her the most was that most people in this city turned a blind eye to it, considering it normal.
She couldn’t help but wonder, "Even though the Rock Morgan group has colonies in other worlds, why are they still so persistent in using their own people for these kinds of things? It’s inexplicable…"
It’s not that Mu Ling could tolerate the atrocities committed by the people of Noah towards the colonists, it’s just that she had this question in her heart.
Bai Yan smiled and explained, "Actually, in their eyes, there is no distinction between domestic and foreign people. These ‘predators’ treat anyone and anything with only a few choices: cooperation, confrontation, exploitation, or complete consumption."
"Even if these ‘predators’ claim to have contributed to the Ring City, it’s just a way for them to beautify themselves," Maryse thought of her father and added softly.
In the eyes of the people of Tatsumi City, that person is considered a philanthropist, and most of the nobles are too… Even though he himself benefits the most, he keeps saying that everything he does is for the sake of his family or something like that. Maryse finds such a person truly disgusting.
However, if it were Mu Ling instead, maybe she would understand him.
With different values, Maryse would occasionally feel helpless.
She thought Mu Ling was just too naive, and always trying so hard, with a hint of innocence, that’s why she was diligent and willing to shoulder any responsibility.
Mu Ling didn’t quite understand the words "Senior Profligate," but she still nodded in agreement.
She felt that whether it was Senior Profligate, Amy, or even Aurora, they knew so much, far more than she did.
And, on top of that, there were the absolute correct commands of the Savior.
Even if she thought a little less, it should be fine.
Don’t worry if you don’t understand.
As long as she could swing the weapon, it was enough.
"Let’s go, there are still many laboratories in the Ring City, and we have to explore them one by one."
Bai Yan smiled and saw the Omnic emerging from the "gate" of the Babel Tower. These girls, who looked almost identical to Amy, would be responsible for the aftermath and would evacuate the rescued people.
Mu Ling nodded and said, "Hmm, but I think Rock Morgan’s counterattack will be coming soon."
"Ahh, they have already arrived," Maryse suddenly exclaimed.
Intense killing intent was directed towards the people present, but the three individuals in the Babel Tower remained unfazed.
Two spies made their entrance.
They were a man and a woman, appearing out of thin air at the other end of the laboratory. This was "teleportation," as if they possessed extraordinary power facilitated by the enchanted microchip implanted inside them.
The man took out a lighter and lit a cigar, saying, "It seems that all the criminals are here."
"The Maintainers," Rock Morgan’s exclusive team of special agents, proclaimed themselves as a righteous organization dedicated to protecting company assets and maintaining order in the Ring City.
In reality, they were unquestionably the loyal henchmen, watchdogs, and weapons of Rock Morgan.
Their main task was taking lives.
The Maintainer’s agents were divided into nine levels, with only those at the Crown level able to reach the seventh level. For instance, the formidable Leon, who once pursued Amy, was a powerful Level 7 agent.
The man among these two individuals wore a white suit. He was in his early thirties, standing at nearly two meters tall. He was thin, with a slight hunch in his back. His expression was cold, and he held a cheap cigarette in his mouth.
Level Nine agents possessed the strength to attain the Crown level, and they were very powerful.
The woman wore sunglasses, a black evening gown, high heels, and had a smile on her face.
In her hand, she held a designer handbag, and she didn’t look like she came for a fight at all, but rather like she came to attend a party.
An agent of the eighth level possessed the strength of a middle-ranked Crown.
Without a doubt, both of them were the pillars of Maintainers. In this city, Rock Morgan was undoubtedly a formidable force.
"Wanna fight?"
The male agent spoke, looking at the female agent beside him. There was no trace of emotion in his eyes, as if he were a tool of destruction.
"You don’t read the information in the database, do you? How could you possibly win?" The female agent shook her head.
If anything goes wrong, we will activate the teleportation and escape.
She smiled and said to the three individuals at the Babel Tower, "In fact, we have no ill intentions towards any of you at the Babel Tower. All we wanted was to cooperate with you… I wonder what misunderstanding led you to damage the laboratory."
"There’s no misunderstanding, we are simply provoking you," Bai Yan replied with a smile.
The female spy’s face stiffened, her smile frozen. The male spy continued to ask, "Did they kill them?"
"…"
Knowing that negotiation was impossible, the female spy took a deep breath, shook her head, and said, "Don’t joke around. They are members of the Babel Tower, very formidable. It seems that the two of us alone wouldn’t stand a chance against them. Let’s retreat."
"No, you can’t leave."
Maryse spoke up suddenly, as a powerful force swept over her mind in an instant.
Two agents were taken aback, and their defense line crumbled instantly. In a blink of an eye, Maryse had firmly taken control of the two of them.
"I still couldn’t believe that I had become so powerful."
Maryse couldn’t believe it and said, "That man is actually very strong. Even the Scarlet Moon from a year ago probably wouldn’t stand a chance against him."
But now, in front of Maryse, opponents of this level couldn’t even manage to escape.
Originally, most members of Babel Tower were already stronger than those of the same level, capable of challenging opponents at higher levels. In addition, Maryse had a significant advantage against those weaker than herself.
Nowadays, the difference between extraordinary individuals below the level of Apocalypse and ordinary people is not significant in front of her.
"This city’s ‘Apocalypse’ seems to be only one person." Mu Ling suddenly said, as if she was asking the two of them.
In reality, she was asking the person on the other end of the headphones.
"Hmm."
In the headphones, Amy’s voice responded, "That Apocalypse powerhouse is not human, nor any kind of elf, but a highly unique living mechanized armor with its own soul, known as the ‘God of Destruction’… very powerful."
"It is troublesome to activate this thing, but it possesses a terrifying power to destroy a city with a single strike… The good news is, even so, it should not be a match for the current Scarlet Moon."
The originally middle-ranked Scarlet Moon, combined with the Tactical Card of the Babel Tower, would definitely be able to fight against the upper-ranked Apocalypse. Now that the Scarlet Moon has reached the upper rank of Apocalypse, her strength can only be described as unfathomable.
Mu Ling clenched her hand, feeling unwilling. There was a time when she had already come close to reaching the Scarlet Moon.
However, in front of the Scarlet Moon, she may not even be able to make a move now.
Even the qualification to escape doesn’t exist.
With such weakness, does she still have the right to be called "The Hound of Babel Tower"?
Bai Yan, who could read minds, kept silent on the side. He didn’t even look over with his eyes, but he muttered in his heart.
Don’t worry.
Take your time for now.
Being in a hurry won’t help.
I was actually more anxious than you.
Inside her headphones, Amy continued speaking to the three of them:
"So from the very beginning, the only one who truly made things difficult for us in this city… was the Crimson Sovereign."
"That thing would at least have a clone in this city. In the worst case scenario, we might have to face… a truly powerful and terrifying deity."
