Chapter 25 If you have questions, you have to ask in advance
The gunfire sounded almost indiscriminately.
But there is still a difference in careful analysis.
Waiters pulled the trigger before Rodney, and while the representative and agent of the 'Emel Family' was still pulling the trigger, he made a very standard dodge action.
As the representative and agent of the 'Emel Family', apart from his own identity, the thing that Waiters is most proud of is the strong body he has gained through unremitting exercise and his daily practical training.
At this time, he was very grateful for his self-discipline.
It’s not just about getting healthy.
I also got a chance to live.
Although it was only a slight difference, Waiters knew that it would determine the final outcome between him and Rodney.
Even with standard dodge movements, the bullet still penetrated the chest.
This is what Waiters could have expected.
The difference is, pain!
He didn't expect this pain!
Waiters was shot for the first time!
After a burst of impact, pain spread.
Waiters, who was brought to the ground by the impact, curled up and his whole body began to twitch.
But even so, he still tried hard to raise his head and stared at Rodney opposite.
He wanted to see Rodney fall to the ground with his own eyes.
He wanted to confirm Rodney's death.
This is inevitable!
Waiters is very sure of this.
As the representative and agent of the 'Gipson Family', Rodney is already old. Although he pays great attention to maintenance on weekdays, the cane in the other person's hand is no longer a decoration. Even at this time, he burst out a little bit of his youth.
The power is surprising, but Waiters believes the result will not change.
After all, time is ruthless.
It will take everything away from you.
Your relatives and friends.
Your wealth, your life.
Even the memories you leave to the world will become like smoke and go with the wind as time passes bit by bit.
Unconsciously, the representative and agent of the ‘Emel Family’, who thought that the overall situation was decided, sighed.
Then,
His eyes widened.
because!
Not only did Rodney not fall, he didn't even suffer any real damage.
Not dodge!
The bullet did hit Rodney.
The skirt of the clothes is broken.
But it's not flesh and blood inside.
But... metal!
bite!
The bullet collided with the metal chest, and sparks flew everywhere. The metal chest did not leave any traces, and the bullet bounced away.
Rodney, who was holding a gun in one hand, raised his hand gracefully and dusted the metal chest, with a proud smile on his old face.
"Accident?"
"Technology changes life."
Rodney looked at Waiters's shocked eyes and smiled again.
Moreover, with these words, Rodney seemed to have completely opened up the conversation.
In other words, he held it in for too long and had no one to talk to.
At this moment, one finally appeared.
Of course he would seize the opportunity.
"My body reached its limit twenty years ago, so I had to find some special methods to help me live longer."
"Transfusion of young people's blood."
"Replacement with younger organs."
"But this is a drop in the bucket. You know, every operation requires a recovery period, and my already weak body cannot bear more rejection reactions."
"Little by little, my body is still weakening, so I need the blood and organs of strong people that are more in line with my 'goal'."
"So, I came to Area F..."
“It’s really nice here.”
"'Tool people' are everywhere, and I don't need to be sneaky anymore. Someone will handle everything for me. Then, I just need to wait while it's hot."
"But as time went by, this approach became of little use."
"I had to choose a more adventurous approach."
"mechanical!"
"Just like you saw."
"I underwent ten transformations one after another, and then I felt energetic, energetic, and young again."
As he spoke, Rodney wiped his chest again.
There was a morbid fascination on that old face.
Ordinary people will feel uncomfortable and awkward just looking at it.
To be precise, it is: disgusting.
The same goes for Waiters.
Even more intense.
Because, at this moment, he fell under the opponent's gun, and the gun was still pointed directly at him.
"Is this all your fault?"
Waiters did not ask why Rodney was able to complete such surgery and transformation.
Obviously the 'Gipson family' is not good at this.
betray!
This is destined!
Rodney betrayed his family.
Otherwise, Waiters couldn't think of anyone who would give Rodney such a generous reward.
If you want to get, you have to give.
Waiters has known this for a long time.
It's a pity that even though he knew it, he still fell into the trap of the other party.
When he thought of the person who secretly contacted him, Waiters gritted his teeth with hatred.
What can get more benefits for the ‘Emel Family’.
What choice can you make to change your destiny?
Everything is a scam!
It’s all a scam by this old pervert in front of me!
Look at the surprise in the eyes of the bastard in front of you.
Even now, I'm still pretending!
The anger made Waiters cough loudly, and blood foam overflowed from his mouth.
"Isn't it you?"
"The person who contacted me secretly before was not you?"
Rodney frowned and lowered his palms on the metal chest.
"You've already won, do you still want to pretend?"
Waiters asked rhetorically.
"A month ago, someone contacted me and said that I would be given a chance to gain greater recognition and support from my family, so that I could change my destiny... That voice was a mechanically synthesized voice."
Rodney said in a deep voice.
"Did you get that call too?"
Waiters was stunned.
The agent of the 'Emel Family' began to think wildly.
Almost the next second, his eyes looked at Donna.
Donna's body was lying there without her head.
Rodney looked at Donna too.
The next moment, the two people's eyes met.
"Donna should have received a similar call, so I asked why we cooperated so closely once the incident occurred in Sende 9!"
"It turns out that someone is pulling the strings... Damn it! Damn it! Bastard!"
Rodney first sighed, then cursed.
A series of non-stop curses.
Waiters said nothing.
However, his expression was extremely expressionless.
trap!
He, Rodney, and Donna all fell into each other's trap.
Moreover, now Donna is dead.
And him?
The situation is very bad.
If he didn't receive treatment, he would be dead.
But, can he still receive treatment?
Waiters raised his head and looked at Rodney, who was holding the gun and didn't move the muzzle even though he was cursing.
"I think we can defeat..."
Bang!
Rodney pulled the trigger.
Waiters fell to the ground with a bullet in his eyebrow, and then Rodney aimed two more shots at the left and right sides of Waiters' chest before putting the gun away.
"Talk?"
"I want it too."
"If we had found out earlier, we could have talked about it."
"But now?"
Rodney shook his head.
He knew very well that when he shot at the opponent, everything became irreversible.
He couldn't let go of someone who shot him and wanted to kill him.
Others may be generous and choose to let go.
But Waiters won't.
Because he and Waiters are the same person.
Not only Waiters, but also Donna.
Because of this, the three of them fell into that bastard's trap together.
What's even more disgusting is that until now, she doesn't know who that bastard is.
"Damn it!"
Lord cursed again.
Then, he began to think about how to solve the current dilemma.
With the existence of that bastard, the previous method of letting Waiters take the blame will definitely not work. If he does this, he will only hand the 'knife' to that bastard.
That bastard would definitely love to stab him in the nick of time.
Just like this moment.
But without Waiters taking the blame, how to explain the current scene?
If there is no reasonable explanation, the representative family in Area F will definitely conduct an in-depth investigation.
When the death of ‘Send 9’ is discovered, everything will be over.
Lorde knows very well what the style of the 'Sende Family' is like as one of the top 100 families.
As for a possible 'sinner' like him, the 'Gipson family' will not come forward.
jingle.
Just as Rodney was struggling, his personal phone rang.
There is no incoming call notification, just a series of garbled codes.
It's that guy!
After confirming this, the angry Rodney suddenly calmed down.
Because, at this moment, he suddenly realized something: the situation in front of him was also what the other party wanted.
The other party needs him!
No!
wrong!
One of their three agents is needed.
It doesn't matter who it is.
Just be the one who survives.
Why?
The other party needs to cooperate with the one they survived.
Collaborate on some things.
Rodney looked at the big screen in the conference hall.
The ‘torturer’ is partying.
As the blood spread, corpses were everywhere.
But there was one place that was quite quiet, the apartment belonging to Jason the Violent. There, he saw Lothar 11, Pers, Beard, and a strange person who shouldn't be there.
A bold guess appeared in Rodney's mind.
Huh, huh.
After adjusting his breathing and confirming that there was nothing wrong with his emotions, Rodney answered the phone.
"You cheated on me!"
Rodney said harshly.
He tried to make his voice sound angry and resentful, with the feeling of gritted teeth.
"cheat?"
"Didn't you get what I promised you?"
The electronically synthesized voice looked puzzled and asked.
"But you didn't tell me that you were still cooperating with Waiters and Donna!"
Rodney questioned.
"But you didn't ask me either."
The electronic synthesized sound is full of innocence.
"What about everything in front of you? Is it because I didn't ask you?"
There was anger in Rodney's voice.
This is no pretense, this is real anger.
He thinks that the other party treats him as a child and can deceive him as much as he wants.
"certainly."
"You didn't ask, so I didn't say anything."
Electronic synthesized sounds were accepted as a matter of course.
It seemed that it was really because Rodney didn't ask that he didn't say the same thing.
And this angered Rodney.
"Do you think you will win?"
"Even if you lied to me before."
"But now I will never be deceived again!"
"you are done!"
"The Gibson family will not let you go, the Hera family will not let you go, the Emel family will not let you go, the Sender family will not let you go, the Lothar family will not let you go.
'I won't let you go either."
"Facing these families, you will be like a rat in the gutter, terrified all day long."
Rodney shouted loudly.
"oh."
The electronically synthesized voice should not be able to hear emotions, but this short answer was full of indifference.
It was as if Rodney's threats didn't matter at all.
It’s as if the ‘Gipson Family’, ‘Hera Family’, ‘Emel Family’, ‘Send Family’, and ‘Lotha Family’ don’t need to be taken seriously.
Whoops! Whoops!
Rodney's breathing quickened.
He subconsciously scolds the other party for his ignorance and rudeness.
However, at this time, the electronic synthesized voice asked a question unhurriedly.
"Do you want to live?"
Rodney's angry rebuke stopped when he reached his lips. He swallowed it back, and his expression changed continuously.
final--
"think!"
Who doesn’t want to live.
Who doesn’t want to live.
Especially a man like Rodney who endured great pain and transformed himself into a cyborg in order to survive. He was the most willing and wanted to live.
"That's good."
"We can continue to work together."
"Now I hope you can disable the emergency measures in the Building."
"It doesn't take long, just an hour."
The synthesized voice spoke of its purpose.
"Emergency team?"
"What do you want to do?"
He had already made a rough guess before, but at this time Rodney still couldn't help but ask.
"Didn't you guess it?"
“How can one Sender 9 be enough?”
"At least one Lothar 11 is needed."
The other party replied calmly.
"How can I survive if I do this?"
Rodney asked again.
It's not that he's unwilling to do it. At this point, there's nothing left to do. What he needs is to see the other party's 'sincerity', or the other party's 'ability' to allow him to survive.
He wouldn't do such a thing just because of the other person's words.
"Because it was Waiters who did this, not you Rodney?"
"During the mechanical transformation, you implanted a voice-changing device, right?"
"This is where it comes in handy."
Electronic synthesized sounds are full of weirdness.
Rodney was startled.
How does the other party know?
His body transformation was a secret. In order to hide this secret forever, he killed all those doctors and silenced them. But how did they know?
"How do you know?"
Rodney asked.
This time, the electronic synthesizer didn't answer.
Rodney, who already knew some of the other party's habits, stood there and hesitated for a moment before picking up the phone.
"Well, I'm Waiters."
"The emergency team does not need to be dispatched."
"right."
"There are additional orders."
Rodney ordered in Waiters' voice.
After doing all this, he asked again.
"How do you know?"
This time there was still no answer.
This made Rodney frown.
Three full minutes later, the electronic synthesized sound sounded again.
"Sorry, the plan went a little wrong."
"My original plan was to use a 'violent' to see off our young master Lothar 11, but now there is a 'violent' who is inexplicably siding with the young master's camp. Well, that's not right.
It’s two.”
Following the words of the electronically synthesized voice, pictures of Jason and Jialun appeared on the screen in the conference hall.
Jason slashed each 'violator' and stepped upward.
Jialun stood guard outside the door with vigilant eyes, looking around.
"What's the meaning?"
Staring at this scene, Rodney had a bad feeling.
"I need you now to help me correct this mistake - to kill Lothar 11."
"impossible!"
"I won't do that!"
Before the electronic synthesizer could finish speaking, Rodney shouted loudly.
Participation and directness are two different concepts.
He didn't mind participating in Sende 9's assassination because he didn't know about Sende 9's death and only devoured some profits afterwards.
And now?
Let him kill Lothar 11 directly?
Rodney was timid.
"Then there's nothing we can do."
"You are destined not to survive."
"The young master Lothar 11 used his authority to live broadcast everything that happened in the 'Game Building' at this moment. How many minutes will it take for the bodyguards of the Lothar Family to arrive?"
The electronic synthesizer asked with a smile.
"What?!"
Rodney froze on the spot as if struck by lightning.
He had no idea that Lothar 11 still had such authority.
If Lothar 11 does this...
He is dead!
Suddenly, after a second of pause, Rodney came back to his senses.
"You already knew that, right?"
Rodney questioned.
"Um."
"I knew it a long time ago."
"You didn't ask."
Electronic synth sounds admit it frankly.
Rodney's breathing became rapid again.
Both angry and struggling.
"This time, I'll ask in advance."
"If I really kill Lothar 11, are you sure you can let me survive?"
Rodney emphasized.
"certainly!"
"I promise!"
"Moreover, I will let you live an upright life, instead of becoming a tool like a 'violent'."
Electronic synth sounds become official.
After hearing the other party's assurance, Rodney breathed a sigh of relief.
He is really afraid that the so-called life is to become a tool like a "violent".
Now……
Rodney adjusted his clothes slightly to cover his metal chest, then took the gun and walked towards the elevator.
He is going to kill Lothar11.
Although it is a risk, it is worth it to stay alive.
4th floor, Jason Apartment.
After Lothar 11 thought about what she had experienced before, she turned to look at Beard.
The eleventh heir to the Lothar family said this -
"Beard, smash all the surveillance on this floor."
"They're no longer needed."
"besides……"
"Whether Rodney, Waiters, or Donna appears here in a while, they will shoot directly."
