Since then, Wa and Bister had entered an awkward situation. Even if the two of them were alone, they wouldn't talk much. They just did their own things and were filled with strangeness. Wa wanted to break this deadlock, but he couldn't put down his face, so he used political affairs to talk to her. The only thing that Bister could rely on now was work, so that he could forget Wa's role as a husband.
One night, after completing his paperwork, he suddenly got up and put on his military uniform. Wa noticed something.”Beast nodded and didn't look at him. "I don't remember assigning you a late-night mission.”
"It's the army's routine inspection.”There was indeed such a rule. Wa did not say anything more and watched Bister leave."Come back early." Hearing this, Beast paused at the door and still did not turn around to answer.
It was autumn, and the weather was slowly turning cold. The dry cold wind blew the hem of his military uniform. A van seemed to be waiting for her at the corner. The door opened and a young man in a white coat came out. If Gio was still alive, he would be similar to him. The only difference was that he always had a confident smile on his face, unlike Gio, who was always stingy with his emotions.
" I'm Leonard, the chief researcher of the Green Zone's First Research Institute.”He bowed and invited him into the car.
"The name Green Zone is really awkward. It seems like the whole world has become smaller.”Under Wa's unification, the Western Continent was officially renamed the Green Zone. The most important thing in a civilization was not war. After the destruction was completed, Wa still had many things to do. He had been very busy recently. "This is a good thing, Madam." Leonard said with a smile.
"Your Excellency is truly a young and talented man. I believe that Your Excellency is not even twenty-five years old.”"Twenty-four, to be exact. Our master never cared about such trivial things as being too young. As long as you have talent, you can stand out, just like you-oh, I'm sorry, I shouldn't talk about a lady's age.”
"No need for formalities." Bister looked out the window. She wanted to make sure that she was on her way to the First Research Institute." I want to know why you're here.”
"How much do you know about the elements and humans?”Leonard's gaze suddenly turned sharp as his sinister smile seemed to understand everything. Bister didn't want to reveal his background so quickly.""What are you talking about? Aren't these all scientific terms?”
" No, no, no. I'm talking about the personification of elements and the instinct and soul of human beings. How much do you know?”
"What happened to you?" Tile didn't even tell the people closest to him. How did he know this? Bister's mind was spinning quickly." You're the executor of this project?”
"It's not only those who have experienced it personally that know about those things that are rarely known.”Leonard smiled as he leaned closer to Beast's ear." I have spies by Wa's side. Sooner or later, what he has done will be leaked.”
"Are you threatening me?" Bister didn't bring Lion Killer with him, but ever since the kidnapping, she could summon Lion Killer to her side at any time, so she didn't have to bring it with her all the time.
"I'm looking for cooperation. I can tell you everything because you are a very important experimental subject, Madam. Just like what I told you a year ago.”Hearing this, Bister was enlightened.”
"Correct answer, Madam." The van stopped in front of a magnificent building. The First Research Institute was once the holy land of all scientists. Most of the great scientists and inventions, including Gio, had worked here before, and their achievements were indescribable. The research institute was still brightly lit at night. The white coats coming and going made Beast feel a little dizzy. They were all mumbling strange terms and long numbers, and the broadcast above their heads kept calling the researcher's number. Leonard led Bister through one experiment site after another, seemingly in a hurry.
In order to get Bister to agree to work with him, Leonard showed his sincerity."The so-called element personification, as the name suggests. After the energy conversion device gathered a certain amount of elements, he would use this as an opportunity to form a human form. The simplest example is General Yao Shou. He is a collection of light, and you know that he can use light energy without a translator.”He paused to give Beast time to think." The second point is the energy of human beings. They release it through instinct and soul. This might take some time to understand. What I can tell you is that the only one in this world who can freely release these two powers is you, Bister.”
"You have to understand the importance of assisting me in completing the experiment. This might change humanity's understanding of themselves, and even create infinite possibilities to affect the entire world and the entire universe. Humans are creatures with potential, and we need to develop it ourselves. We've already found some clues. Why don't we seize them and search for the truth?”
"Then why didn't Wa tell me?"
Leonard typed on the keyboard in front of the passcode lock."The secret is a gift box. There could be chocolates or bombs in the gift box. But in this situation, it could only be the latter. Wa selfishly gave up all humanity to protect you. You know that the experiment is a kind of harm to you. He was a good husband, Madam. However, he was also the head of a country. Which is more important, family or the world? I think this is also a question you need to consider.”
This idiot! You should have told me earlier! Bister bit his lips and teared up. Leonard felt that it was still lacking."Now, this choice is entirely up to you. If you think I'm untrustworthy or too dangerous, I can stop the experiment at any time. Time was tight, he couldn't let the marshal find out.”
"I-"
Before Beast could finish his sentence, a murderous aura suddenly pressed against Leonard's back. A pair of bloodthirsty eyes appeared under his black hood. "Viper! Why are you here?" Leonard turned pale with fright as he pulled out his dagger." Someone bought your life, Leonard.”
"No!"
Wa paced left and right in the room. His agitated mood made it impossible for him to fall asleep. Only then did the absent-minded Beast gently open the door. Wa immediately went up to him and found that Beast was holding the Lion Slayer, and there was a fishy smell on his body. He reacted and pretended not to know anything."What's wrong? Why is there blood?"
"A major general didn't listen to orders and was executed on the spot.”" I'm a little tired. Can you stop asking?"”Wa had no choice but to shut her mouth. Just as he was thinking about the follow-up, Yao Shou's telepathic communication came in.
"Have you completed Xi's mission?" "No, I haven't."
"How is that possible? I saw that Bister was stained with blood. Someone should have died." Wa widened his eyes and took half a step back." Don't tell me!”
"That's right, that's Viper's blood. Bister killed Viper. We didn't think Bister would betray you.”
"This is not betrayal. It's just her choice." "Whatever you say. Since Shang Ying can't take care of this matter, I'll have to go.”"No, they must be prepared. Are you listening?"
"There are so many guests today." Leonard wiped the blood that had splattered on his face and ordered someone to send Viper's corpse out. Yaoshou was actually waiting for orders near the First Research Institute. He didn't trust the reputation of the Nightingale of Death and acted on his own against Wa's orders. Yao Shou looked around. There would be a prosecutor coming here tomorrow to search.”
" I don't think the prosecutor will be able to obtain any useful information," Leonard said with a smile." This is a confidential mission. It's impossible to carry it out openly without any precautions.”
"Do you think I'm fake?" Yao Shou suddenly appeared in front of Leonard and grabbed his collar. "Relax, General. I mean no harm. Even though I am a radical, I still contribute my strength to the Marshal. Half of the researchers in the First Research Institute were radical, but all the researchers could get along with each other. This was the power of academia.”
"I'm not asking you that." Yao Shou knocked out one of Leonard's teeth with a punch." Don't think about it anymore.”He didn't dare to kill Leonard. Wa didn't give him such an order, so he might get angry.
"Yes, General." Leonard was surprisingly obedient. Yaoshou didn't expect him to compromise and had no choice but to let him go. Only then did Leonard have the chance to spit out the tooth. "As a thank you gift, General, I have a friend that I would like you to meet.”
"Yao Shou."
What was that? What was this voice? Yao Shou turned around in surprise. The person he saw made him feel cold as if he had fallen into a bottomless abyss.
After that, Bister would disappear for a period of time and then return to Wa's side with a haggard face. Even when she was pregnant, she had never heard of this habit. Even Yaoshou seemed to be able to avoid him. Everything was no longer the same as before. Wa finally couldn't take it anymore and told Bister everything.""Don't go to Leonard's anymore! He's harming you!"
"I just want to help you, Wa." " You have too many responsibilities. You should let someone close to you share them with you."”This was impossible! You can't understand! Wa shouted in his heart. There were still too many secrets that Bister couldn't know.
"Tell me, what does it feel like to be a human?”Beast hugged Wa and stroked his hair.
"They're just weak creatures. They don't have eternal life and power like the elements. They're completely controlled by the outside world.”"This is not a human, Wa."
The world was quietly changing. Countless buildings were built year after year. Other than the Green Zone, humans began to disappear from the continent. Time was like the wrinkles on a tile's face, increasing and deepening bit by bit. Leonard died very early. Before he died, he released all the information regarding the elements and humans, causing an uproar in the entire Green Zone. As the head of state, Wa acknowledged Leonard's research and made Yaoshou reveal his identity.
At that time, Beast and Wa were backstage, holding each other just like before. "Back then, why didn't you kill Leonard?”Bister asked him. Wa smiled." He won't hurt you, right? Then I have no reason to hurt him."”
The couple were already middle-aged, but Yao Shou still looked young and energetic in his early twenties. After giving a speech in front of everyone, he was a little tired. He went back backstage and patted Wa's shoulder, not knowing what he meant. Deep in the darkness, another figure was quietly watching Yao Shou. His red eyes were particularly dazzling in the dark space.
"Learn to restrain yourself, Phil." Yao Shou said coldly.
"Yes, my lord." The red flash disappeared.
