The Tokusatsu Era: Starting with Orphnoch

Chapter 236 The Desolation of the Wolf Orphnoch

Harbin.

Special operations base.

...................

Three days passed in the blink of an eye. During those long seventy-two hours, Zhao Kai and Zhu Shitao racked their brains and used every trick in the book, but no matter what method they used, they were unable to pry out even the slightest bit of useful information from Chen Yexi's tightly closed lips.

Faced with such a stubborn opponent, the two ultimately had no choice but to give up pressing for answers and respect each other's decision.

Immediately, Zhao Kai and his companion arranged for guards to ensure Chen Yexi's safety and prepared a sumptuous and delicious meal for him.

After everything was arranged, Zhao Kai personally led a team of men to escort Chen Yexi to the execution site.

The atmosphere was unusually heavy throughout the journey, with only the low rumble of the vehicles occasionally breaking the silence.

Chen Yexi, sitting in the car, had her hands tightly bound and was wrapped in special shackles, unable to move her limbs.

However, his expression was surprisingly calm, as if he already knew his fate.

Zhao Kai silently looked at his opponent beside him, whose face was haggard but whose eyes were still firm, and a complex emotion welled up in his heart.

He took out a cigarette, lit it, and gently offered it to Chen Yexi, asking calmly, "If time could turn back and you could return to that moment a few years ago, would you still choose to kill those thugs and embark on this path of no return?"

Upon hearing Zhao Kai's question, Chen Yexi slightly raised her head, took a deep drag of her cigarette, and then slowly exhaled a smoke ring.

Amidst the swirling smoke, his expression became somewhat dazed, as if his thoughts had drifted back to that thrilling night years ago.

After a long pause, he replied in a slightly hoarse voice, "I don't know...maybe I'll still do it."

"Because I had already died once by then, and from the moment I became an Orphnoch, I had no other choice."

"As for the outcome I face today, perhaps this is the destiny I chose myself." After saying this, he closed his eyes again and fell silent.

.................................................. .....

Zhao Kai stared silently at Chen Yexi in front of him, his heart filled with mixed feelings.

In fact, Zhao Kai could understand his choice to some extent.

If we only examine things from our own perspective, then it seems difficult to simply judge what the other person has experienced as right or wrong.

Looking back, Chen Yexi was robbed by thugs and brutally beaten to death. After her death, she awakened the power of the Orphnoch and launched a bloody revenge campaign, killing all the thugs who had persecuted her.

He was then discovered and wanted by the Special Operations Bureau, thus embarking on a path of no return step by step.

As time went by, Chen Yexi went further and further astray, eventually turning against all of humanity and becoming an utterly wicked Orphnoch.

Perhaps, in this long and distorted process of transformation, this dog-eat-dog, ruthless social environment should also bear some responsibility?

After all, if life could have given him light, perhaps he wouldn't have fallen into darkness!

After a brief silence.

The group arrived at the special operations base, an experimental facility specifically used for executing and researching monstrous criminals.

Chen Yexi was seen being held firmly by several fully armed Leo cavalrymen, and was being dragged along against her will.

Then, he lay helplessly on a cold, hard platform, his limbs clamped as if by iron clamps, unable to move at all.

Immediately afterwards, a Leo cavalryman took out a specially made gun and, without hesitation, pressed the muzzle against Chen Yexi's heart.

Just as the headquarters officially issued the order to confirm the execution of the elimination procedure, Zhao Kai solemnly picked up his communicator and gave the final action instructions to the personnel who had been waiting on the scene.

"boom!"

A specially designed bullet hurtled out at an astonishing speed and pierced straight into Chen Yexi's body.

In the blink of an eye, the bullet struck the target with perfect accuracy, mercilessly shattering Chen Yexi's heart.

Almost at the same moment, Chen Yexi's body trembled violently, and then a ball of deep blue flame suddenly erupted from all parts of his body.

It spread rapidly, soon enveloping Chen Yexi entirely.

As the flames grew stronger, the originally blazing blue light gradually became dazzling.

From a distance, Chen Yexi looked like a human torch engulfed in flames.

However, this scene did not last long.

After only a few breaths, the deep blue flame gradually died down at a speed visible to the naked eye.

When the last flame died down, Chen Yexi, who had been lying on the execution ground, was nowhere to be seen. In her place was a pile of fine sand.

Looking at the scene unfolding before him, Zhao Kai remained silent for a long time.

Only after the on-site personnel confirmed that the cleanup mission had been successfully completed did Zhao Kai snap out of his daze.

After shaking his head and sighing, he turned and led the Leo cavalry squad onto the convoy. As the armored vehicles slowly started up, raising a cloud of dust, they gradually disappeared into the distance.

Only a group of busy researchers at the experimental base were left to carry out the cleanup work in an orderly manner.

Meanwhile, in an ordinary warehouse in a remote corner of Harbin.

Orphino the goat stood quietly in the center of the warehouse, but suddenly raised its eyes, which shone with an eerie light, and looked toward the special operations experimental base.

He frowned slightly, lost in thought.

"My king, the wolf Orphnoch has been executed by the Ming Dynasty's special agents. The plan has completely failed."

"What should we do next? Do we need to adjust our strategy?"

A deep and authoritative voice came from the darkness: "Don't worry about it, it's just the loss of an insignificant pawn."

"Continue to proceed according to the original plan, let the Orphnochs in Harbin act as they see fit, and do our best to keep those armored warriors of the Ming Dynasty's special forces in check."

"As long as we prevent them from interfering with our plans in the capital, we've succeeded!"

"Understood, Your Majesty. I will certainly take good care of the situation in Harbin and remove all obstacles in the plan!"

"Yes, I trust you to handle things!"
