The puppets' stage play

Chapter 229 Surprise and mutation

"So, you are indeed a bunch of idiots"

Wang Chaohui sighed and stood up from one person, looking at the young man under him who rolled his eyes and lost his mind.

He looked around and saw several people with the same bruises and swollen faces lying on the ground. He couldn't help but have a headache.

Some of the subordinates he valued most in the past were seduced by someone, and they tried to subdue him and flatter their new master.

"Do you really think that all these years of my life have been in vain?! A bunch of idiots!"

He sincerely lamented that the people he had found were capable, but unfortunately their emotional intelligence was not very high and they could easily be deceived by others and mess up their position.

Not to mention that he was only temporarily in Tang Xian's camp. Even if Tang Xian fell, he was confident that he would not be implicated.

Wang Chaohui patted the dust on his body, then sat on the young man. He waved his hand and let the people behind him, who had weird faces and dared not interfere, to find their enemies on their own.

The latter's middle-level managers, who were still able to make the decision, bowed respectfully and left with the others in a hurry.

Wang Chaohui didn't bother to look. His face was calm and his eyes were a little blank.

"The man told me that Tang Xian has been defeated, and the darkness of the academy will cease to exist. I don't know whether it is true or not..."

Wang Chaohui murmured to himself, feeling as if all his hard work had been wasted. The faint sense of pride that he was like a lone hero, facing the darkness alone was gone.

There is only deep confusion about the future.

"Now...just wait for a moment..."

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

Chi chi chi.

A stream of orange beams of light shot out from the muzzle of the gun. Lu Cheng's eyes were calm and he maintained the movements of his hands with a solemn expression, but there was a little sweat on his forehead.

Tomson moved like a ghost, sometimes on the left, sometimes on the right, and his movements were erratic. Just looking at his happy posture, you knew that this kind of attack was nothing to him.

He avoided the other party's attack just out of caution. He was waiting for the opportunity that was bound to come, and Lu Cheng was obviously aware of his thoughts.

Lu Cheng's breathing was steady, his eyes swept over the opponent's location, his brain predicted the opponent's next route, his fingers moved slightly, and he was able to accurately suppress the opponent.

Just like the other party, he could maintain a focused attack at first, but over time, his thinking became a little trance-like.

Images of his first birth flashed through his mind.

When the ignorant self woke up, he saw a cheerful man in white and an old man with concerned eyes.

He recognized the person in front of him from his memory, but was confused about his own existence.

If the Gong Shoucheng in my memory really existed, then who is the ‘I’ who inherited his memory?

He knew at the moment he was born that he was not 'Gong Shoucheng'. As time went by, others also knew this. They looked at him with indifferent eyes and had no expectations for him.

Only the old man accepted him again after being disappointed and gave him a name.

"Although you have inherited that person's memory, neither you nor I think you are that person. I'm sorry..."

The old man looked at him silently for a moment, then laughed.

"But it doesn't matter. I actually didn't have high expectations from the beginning. Well... By the way, can I choose a name for you?"

The old man pondered for a moment and slowly uttered a few words.

"Just call you..."

When Lu Cheng recalled this, he couldn't help but move his hands. Tang Chen keenly seized this opportunity, and in just a moment, the figure appeared in front of him.

Tomson had a friendly smile on his face, his hands were in the shape of claws, and his pitch-black claws immediately latched onto the shell of the firearm.

Lu Cheng let out a breath, discarded the gun in his hand, took a few steps back, and looked coldly at Tang Chen who chuckled.

The other party was playing with the 'spear' in his hand, looking up and down like a child, with an interesting look on his face.

"I don't remember that there was no such category of 'weapons' in the past. Is it a new one recently?"

Tang Chen asked Lu Cheng back like a studious student, not caring that the two were still hostile before.

"Yes, it was about three years after you left that this kind of separate armed force was implemented in large quantities at the grassroots level."

Lu Cheng thought for a moment and recounted to the other party the overview of military development that he had recorded.

"...You actually answered?" Tomson looked a little surprised, and then turned into dissatisfaction.

"Sorry, I wanted to take this opportunity to hurt you, saying that you are really a robot and don't know how to respect your boss. Now I'm in trouble."

Tomson said with regret, his expression extremely regretful.

"You may not have noticed, but you have already said it," Lu Cheng reminded with serious eyes.

"Oh, I did it on purpose. How dare a mere robot look down on humans? Humph!"

Tang Chen laughed triumphantly, looking... rather boyish, Lu Cheng commented in his mind.

"However, I do feel that you are different from the robots I know, Lu... Lu Cheng, right?"

Tomson looked at the other party questioningly, and received a nod from the other party.

"Very good! Lu Cheng, I remember it. Next, it's time to send you on your way." Tang Chen's smiling face gradually turned cold.

He looked at the other party coldly, used his fingers to twist and deform the captured weapon, and then threw it to the ground.

"Without this, how can you suppress me?"

Tomson shook his head slightly, his eyes showing a cold light.

Lu Cheng's expression remained unchanged, and he performed a set of moves according to the way he remembered them.

"Please teach me" he said softly.

"I really don't know why you want to stop me. According to your position, shouldn't you arrest Xiao Wang and the others? I'm actually quite curious?"

Tang Chen walked slowly, gradually approaching this side, trying to shake the other person with words.

"Responsibility"

Lu Cheng thought of the old man and said something in a low voice.

"Responsibility"

"I don't understand, so..."

Tang Chen smiled, then jumped up and appeared behind Lu Cheng, stretching his fists forward, "Just let me see your heart!"

Lu Cheng turned around and punched, and with a banging sound, his arm twisted instantly, and he swung another fist towards the opponent's chest without changing his expression.

Tomson smiled slightly, grabbed the opponent's curved hand with his left hand, lowered his right hand to block the opponent's attack, tilted his body slightly to the left, and swept his right foot towards the opponent's lower limbs like a steel whip.

Lu Cheng jumped on the spot, raised his body, and used the power of floating to collide with Tang Chen's right fist, and his body immediately flew backwards.

Tang Chen's expression turned cold. The other party did not suffer too many injuries, and the opportunity he found to get close was dealt with by the other party.

Lu Cheng flew upside down in the air, his intact hand moved forward again, and a gun instantly appeared in his hand. He landed on his feet, stepped back dozens of steps, and held the gun on his shoulder.

"Switch to self-aiming mode, the coordinates are West Eight, East Six." He held one hand aside and said calmly.

Phew, an orange beam of light emitted instantly. Tomson, who was rushing halfway, dodged to avoid it and kept trying to get closer.

Lu Cheng kept walking, keeping a distance from the opponent, saying the coordinates repeatedly, and then used his shoulders to fine-tune the position to prevent the opponent from knowing the position and avoiding it.

Tomson's expression turned gloomy, and he turned sideways to avoid a beam of light.

"Hmph, are you still resisting? I have decided that I will cut you into pieces after I catch you!"

Lu Cheng ignored it, remained focused, and continued shooting.

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

Kang Tainian's eyes moved and he couldn't help frowning and looking into the distance. He vaguely felt that there was something wrong with his authority.

He looked down and saw that Du De was still participating in the competition. His eyes wandered around, trying to find Tang Xian.

The other party sent a message not long ago, saying that he felt something unusual and went to investigate. According to the other party's daily habits, it is time to come back and report to him.

Kang Tainian thought for a moment, stood up, and said to everyone who looked at him! "I have something to do temporarily and need to check it out. You guys..."

"Don't be anxious, there is nothing more important than this big competition. Let him handle some chores." Schneider stroked the scepter with a smile on his face.

"Yes, the big competition in front of us is the most important thing," the silent Ben also said.

"I think that's enough? Isn't it?" Zhou Bo, who had not spoken to Kang Tainian since he arrived at the venue, looked directly at him with a hint of meaning in his words.

Kang Tainian's anxious face became calm, and he glanced at everyone with indifferent eyes. Except for Chen Zhan, who looked slightly confused, everyone else had a mysterious smile on their face.

"...I think it's not enough!"

But the words he confided later made several people's eyes turn cold and their eyes became deep.

“This is against the rules”

Schneider's power became profound.

"It's different from what I heard."

Ben raised a fist and covered one of his eyes.

"Kang Tainian, do you want to go against the general trend?" Finally, Zhou Bo said in a cold tone, with an extremely cold expression.

"...Everyone is right." Shock flashed in Chen Zhan's eyes, and then he expressed his support clearly.

Faced with everyone's warnings, Kang Tainian showed no fear in his eyes, but was extremely calm.

"Do you think this level of playing house and having fun is really satisfying? I don't think so."

"I will fulfill my promise, I will unite the world, and I will rule everything with the most brutal means."

"Only in this way can we get results that satisfy you and me, so..."

Kang Tainian raised a hand with a calm expression.

"Come here, keep an eye on everyone, I -"

A large number of figures in gray robes appeared around him, as well as a man in green with a ferocious face.

"There's no need for that anymore, Xiaokang, let's stop here!"

A voice came, and Kang Tainian's expression was shocked. Everyone's eyes had different expressions. Schneider, Ben, had nostalgia in his eyes, Zhou Bo had joy, and Chen Zhan had surprise.

Beside him, gray robes and green robes lined up on both sides to show their respect. A figure slowly walked away, followed by several people.

The visitor looked at Kang Tainian with eyes filled with pity and regret, and then he spoke slowly.

"Xiao Kang, that's enough. That's it. You've strayed from the right path for too long. Now it's time to get him back on track."

"Teacher..." Kang Tainian murmured.
