Chapter 203 The Killing of Minds
Some corner of the suburbs of Shanghai.
A special underground prison for the Special Affairs Bureau.
The prison is buried deep underground, surrounded by thick concrete walls and a tight security system, like an insurmountable barrier.
At this moment, the entire prison area was unusually quiet, as the prisoners who were originally held here had already been transferred to other safe locations in an orderly manner.
The prison guards responsible for guarding the prison have all been withdrawn, and they have been replaced by the elite force of the Shanghai Special Operations Bureau—the Leo Cavalry Squad.
The atmosphere in the entire prison can be described as relaxed on the outside but tense on the inside!
Meanwhile, in a monitoring room inside the prison, Dai Yu frowned slightly, her eyes fixed on the live feed on the screen.
Then, he turned to look at the two relaxed-looking people beside him and asked doubtfully, "Do you think that Chen Yexi will really come here?"
Hearing Dai Yu's question, Zhao Kai smiled slightly. He gently stroked the Royal Bee Insect Combat Device in his hand and replied casually, "Don't worry, he'll definitely come. Don't forget, we've released so many tempting offers. As long as he still wants to save those two Orphnochs, he'll definitely walk right into our trap."
"And even if he doesn't come, it won't be a loss for us. At worst, we can just execute those two guys and then go after him."
Dai Yu nodded, indicating that she agreed with Zhao Kai's opinion, but she still had some concerns.
"That's true, but since we started spreading this information around these past few days, a lot of Orphnochs and Zerg have appeared in Hai City."
"It seems they're also planning to take advantage of the chaos!"
"Yes, that's true. Now, not only in Haishi, but I've also heard that a brand new strange species has appeared in Harbin. It seems to be called... Oh right, it's Oxser!"
"According to the Special Operations Bureau's internal network, these strange beings are created by parasitizing humans with a virus. Although their intelligence decreases after transformation, their destructive power is still quite great, and they have caused considerable trouble for the local area before."
"Hmph! Who cares who they are, I'd love for them all to come rushing up here!"
"This way, I can get rid of all these troubles at once and have some peace and quiet!" Zeng Qixia muttered unhappily.
Because she was on duty so frequently during this period, her planned leisurely vacation was ruthlessly shattered.
"Hahaha! I heard that Sister Zeng hasn't taken a single vacation since she was transferred back from the Harbin Special Affairs Bureau. Is that really true?!" Zhao Kai teased, grinning as he approached her.
Before she could finish speaking, Zeng Qixia suddenly stood up, rolled up her sleeves, and charged at Zhao Kai menacingly, waving her fists and shouting, "I'll teach you a lesson, you arrogant fool!"
Seeing this, Zhao Kai was so frightened that he quickly backed away, waving his hands and begging for mercy while shouting, "Hey! I know I was wrong, I know I was wrong, Sister Zeng, you're so magnanimous. We agreed before that we would only talk and not fight!"
Upon hearing this, Zeng Qixia stopped in her tracks, breathing heavily, glared fiercely at Zhao Kai, then took a deep breath, trying to calm the inexplicable rage within her.
After adjusting herself slightly, she sat back down, but still warned Zhao Kai, "I'll let you off this time, but if you dare to tease me like that again, don't blame me for being ruthless and giving you a good beating!"
.................................................. ..
After saying these words, Zeng Qixia stopped paying attention to Zhao Kai's next move.
However, at this moment she clearly felt that her emotions had become increasingly difficult to control recently.
As she pondered this question, some memories involuntarily surfaced, reminding her of the words Dr. Hong Tao had spoken to her when she was in Harbin.
At that time, shortly after successfully defeating the King of Orphnoch, Dr. Hong Tao launched a special research project on the Knights' Belts in order to further explore their potential.
Especially when he began researching the Deita belt, Zeng Qixia told Dr. Hong Tao about the various feelings and experiences she had while using the belt.
Dr. Hong Tao listened very attentively to every word she said, and combined, analyzed and compared them with his own research findings on the Deita belt.
After careful consideration, Zeng Qixia was informed in detail about the potential side effects of the Deita belt.
In some ways, the negative effects of the Delta belt are more severe than those of the Kaixa belt.
It must be said that the most significant negative effect of the Kaixa belt is limited to shortening the user's lifespan.
However, the negative effects of the Delta belt are quite mysterious and unpredictable.
It has a peculiar characteristic: it can interfere with and influence a user's emotions based on how frequently the user transforms.
For example, the Delta belt will gradually amplify the user's deep-seated greed, making the user increasingly dependent on it.
If this continues, the user is most likely to lose their mind and become a violent war tool completely controlled and dominated by the belt.
At first, Zeng Qixia did not have a very obvious feeling about this situation.
However, as the frequency of her missions increased during this period, she gradually became aware that her fighting style was becoming increasingly ruthless.
Especially when she is on a mission, whether the opponent is an Orphnoch or a Zerg, as long as she is in her transformed state, the longer the battle lasts, the more difficult it becomes for her to suppress the surging, violent emotions within her.
On several occasions, she would even break the target's limbs first, then let out a series of shrill screams of pain and fear before finally eliminating them completely.
This behavior was unprecedented for her; although she had killed target monsters before, she had never been so cruel.
Gradually, she felt herself losing herself, and the kind and gentle side of her heart was being devoured by a dark force.
After each horrific massacre, she would be plunged into deep unease, yet she still couldn't control her insane thoughts when the next battle came.
