On May 5th, 2030, my planned trip to the airport to pick up Elsa was ruined. A sudden phone call disrupted my life.
Sitting in the extended presidential car, I looked out the window. The countryside scenery kept moving backward in front of me. This was the car that came to pick me up. The destination was the Atlantis Defense Center.
"Senior, what are you thinking about?" A small hand stuffed a lollipop into my mouth.
I mercilessly pushed the little girl onto the seat opposite me and stared at her coldly."Don't try to read my memories.”
"I've read it, Phyllis…”
I reached out and grabbed the little girl's throat. She wasn't an innocent little girl. She was a real demon.
"Let go!"
A simple sentence from Elferis made me involuntarily let go of her hand. This was an irresistible power. Elferis 'ability was thought control.
"Kneel down!"
Bending my knees, I automatically knelt in front of her. Having lost my ability, I had no way to resist her power.
"Love me!"
"I can't do it!"
Elferis's ability disappeared and her body regained its freedom. I stared at her coldly and sat back down in my seat. This was the only reason why Elferis allowed me to live. A year ago, she tried to kill me, but because she couldn't make me die willingly, she allowed me to live until today.
"Why doesn't 'love me' work?”
I turned my head to the side and said coldly,"You have countless ways to kill me. Why do you have to use that word?"”
"Because I like to see others die with a smile on their faces, smiling for me and dying for me.”
"Demons only deserve loneliness."
The car came to a steady stop. I and Phyllis got off the car and walked straight into Atlantis 'defense center, the most heavily guarded fortress on Earth. I didn't know how much help I could provide them without my power, but there was definitely a reason why they specially summoned me.
"Senior must be wondering why he sent me to pick you up.”
" Don't read my memories!"
"I can't read other people's memories anymore.”Elferis revealed a pure smile that she was pretending to use. She said to me,"But even if your ability has increased, Senior is still immune to 'love me'.”
Naturally, only the strongest people in the world could enter the most secure fortress in the world. Elphilis was one of them. Under her guidance, the security system gave the green light all the way.
"Senior, you haven't been here before, right? This is the heart of the world! The undersea tunnel under the fortress leads directly to the 'fracture zone' of the Asian stratum. If there's time, I can take you to the Undersea Fortress.”
"No need! I just want to know why a cripple was summoned here.”
"Because you are a big problem!" It was another familiar face. The voice came from the other end of the tunnel, but the person was already behind me.
"What do you mean? Prot!" I turned around and met Prot's gaze.
"Your personality! The United Nations council told us that if we exclude you, there will be big trouble.”
Plott and Elphilis were the strongest combination among the espers.
Blink Teleporter-- Dressed in a white suit was his trademark. The rose in the pencil case on his chest indicated his mood. Today, it was a white rose, representing worry.
Mind Controller-- She looked like a doll in a western-style dress, but she was an out-and-out devil.
The appearance of this strongest combination in Atlantis made me feel very uneasy. If it wasn't for the urgency of the situation, the United Nations would never have sent this lineup.
"What exactly happened?"
"Elferis, go do your thing. I have something to discuss with Fansen.”
"Boring!" Phyllis reluctantly left, leaving only me and Prot behind.
"This is your ID."
Prot handed me an identification card. I wasn't unfamiliar with this identification card. I had already bid farewell to it for five months.
"I'm not an esper anymore.”
"This is exactly what I'm worried about. You're clearly an idiot who doesn't have the ability, but you still do stupid things.”
"Can you cut to the chase?"
Prot took out a " fountain pen " from his inner pocket. It was his personal mini computer, and the laser screen was projected on the wall of the passage.
"The typhoon on May 1st and the fire accident in the hospital were not accidents. The typhoon incident has not been determined yet, but the root cause of the fire accident has been found. This was a hacker attack targeting Atlantis. The degree of secrecy of the operation was beyond imagination. The loopholes in the system were all generated by the system codes with different mantissa. The loopholes affected all the online systems of Atlantis.”
"Is the firewall just for show?"
"It's useless…"
"There's a mole?"
"We can't rule out this possibility! Therefore, all the program controllers in Atlantis had been replaced with more trustworthy staff. He also checked all the online systems offline to eliminate the virus program.”
I was startled and asked seriously,"All the online systems have been checked offline. Does that mean that Atlantis is currently in a defenseless state?”
"That's right! All the automatic cannons, including the electromagnetic defense wall of the island, were offline.”
"Why did you do that?"
"The first is to completely eradicate the virus program, and the second is to lure out the initiator.”
"The stakes are too high."
"Right now, this place is being closely monitored by the strongest army in the world. As long as someone attacks, they will be courting death.”
"What about your mission?"
"The twelve pillars that guard the world's core.”Prot put away the mini computer and calmly said to me,""You have been incorporated into the third team of the Yaya Island Defense Force, but you are a supernumerary personnel and can move freely. Go to the armory to get your weapons. Don't worry about your family. If there's an attack, you only have to protect yourself.”
I let out a long sigh and said to Prot,"No one would be interested in a cripple.”
" There's a piece of intelligence that points to the possibility of the Forbidden Fruit reviving.”
My entire body trembled as I stared at Prot.
" This is the mess that the council was worried about. The forbidden fruit that you dragged into hell has returned from hell.”Prot disappeared from my sight, leaving only his voice.
Forbidden fruit! The name echoed in my head. They had returned from hell, but I had lost my ability.
The Forbidden Fruit Group was a deeply hidden terrorist organization. It had a strong technical team and financial assistance. The backers behind the scenes were unknown. All their research and activities revolved around a restricted area-human cloning.
Elsa, who was adopted by her father, was a clone of Ai. Therefore, they had the same DNA and even the same memories.
" I'm back from hell!!!"
In the underground shooting range, I vented my anger on the target. The shells under my feet had already buried my feet, but I didn't have the intention to stop. Anyway, the bullets were unlimited. I filled the machine gun magazine and raised the gun again.
"Suicide by swallowing a spear!"
I suddenly turned around and aimed my gun at the source of the sound. I saw Elphalis standing at the entrance of the shooting range with a pure smile. She said to me,"It's just a sentence, and you're already so nervous?”
"I don't want to joke now!"
"Then let your sister die…"
A gunshot rang out, and the bullet grazed the top of Elferis 'head. Other than my superpower, my shooting skills are also top-notch.
Elferis smiled coldly. She finally revealed her true colors and said to me,"It seems that my worries were unnecessary. You are only worthy of dying in my hands.”
"I want to ask you for a favor." I calmed down and put away my gun.
"What is it?"
"Consider it a deal with a demon. If you help me send those people to hell, I'll die willingly.”
"What a tempting offer, but I can't do it."”
"With your ability, you can't do it, right?”I kicked away the shell beside my feet and put the gun away.
Elferis turned around and walked out of the shooting range. With her back facing me, she said,""Killing that kind of trash is not a problem, but I can't make you die willingly.”Her figure disappeared from my sight.
