Chapter 801
Chapter 801
"Silver Wolf? What happened? How did you get caught?" Lin Yu softened his voice, and abundant energy flowed into her body through his fingertips, repairing the wounds that were so deep that the bones could be seen.
Wherever the green light flowed, the skin and flesh healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, but it could not hide the fatigue in her eyes.
The silver wolf opened his eyes slightly, his eyelashes trembled, and after seeing who was coming, a weak but still cunning smile suddenly appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"You're finally here... If you hadn't come earlier, I would have been beaten to death by those idiots."
Her voice was as hoarse as sandpaper, but still full of her usual teasing. "I thought you were going to cry to those monsters in the lab."
Lin Yu looked at the girl in his arms who was on the verge of breaking. His heart seemed to be tightened by something, and he felt both pain and anger.
He lowered his head and stared into her eyes, where a subtle panic was hidden behind the cunning.
"Did you let yourself be captured on purpose? Just to wait for me to rescue you?"
Silver Wolf blinked, trying to play dumb. "What's this about intentional? I just wanted to gather intelligence. Who knew the defense system here would be so abnormal..."
"Is this also part of your script plan?" Lin Yu interrupted her, his tone unquestionable and sharp.
"Are you using yourself as bait to lure us to Blackrock City? Or are you colluding with Tianxing City?"
The smile on Silver Wolf's face froze for a moment, then returned to normal, but his eyes drifted away.
"I don't know. Maybe, maybe not... I was walking and suddenly got caught."
She stretched out her hand, wanting to pat Lin Yu's shoulder as she did before, but her hand fell down because of exhaustion. "Look at my injury, does it look like I'm pretending?"
Lin Yu looked at her, the suspicion in his eyes almost overflowing.
Do you think I believe it?
He knew Silver Wolf too well.
This girl who always talks about "script" is best at using jokes to cover up her true intentions.
How could she be captured alive by a few ordinary guards?
And the location of this cell is right above the laboratory, as if they are afraid that they won't be able to find it.
"Honestly," Lin Yu's voice sank, "What exactly happened? Who is the mayor of Tianxing City? What else do they have in store for their 'Purification Plan'?"
Silver Wolf's eyes flickered a few times, and he leaned into Lin Yu's arms, lowering his voice.
"The city lord...is a hooded man with a black crystal in his hand that can control those fused Pokémon...I checked his list of plans, and his next target is..."
She suddenly stopped talking and her eyes widened, as if she had seen something terrible.
Lin Yu turned around following her gaze and saw a figure standing at the door of the cell.
He was wearing a black robe with his hood pulled down low, and holding a crystal with a purple glow in his hand. He was the Lord of Tianxing City who I had just seen in the video.
How could this be? Isn't this Black Rock City? Can he teleport? Or was he already here?
"It seems that my little prey have finally gathered together."
"Ms. Silver Wolf, do you think I wouldn't know if you used a special signal to contact your companions?"
He raised the hand holding the crystal, and the purple light suddenly became brighter. The iron door outside the cell locked automatically with a "clang". The clicking sound of gears turning came from the wall, obviously some mechanism was activated.
"During the few days you've been infiltrating Black Rock City, you should know who designed the defense system here."
"It's you...the 'consultant'..."
"Advisor?" The city lord chuckled, his laughter filled with sickening joy.
"I guess so. After all, without the editing technology I provided, how could you Star Core Hunters possibly have developed a method to breed Fusion Pokémon?"
Lin Yu's intellectual destiny was running wildly at this moment, instantly connecting all the fragments.
The "ancient parliamentary books" mentioned by the mayor, the genetic sequence of Subject 37, the time when Silver Wolf was captured, and even Sister Xingmei's oath.
So that's it, he didn't teleport at all, but was here from the beginning.
The prison in Black Rock City is not used to hold prisoners, but is a hunting ground he carefully arranged. The silver wolf is the bait, Subject No. 37 is the trap, and they, the "saviors", are nothing but prey that have walked into the trap.
"You want to catch us all in one fell swoop."
"Smart." The city lord tilted his head slightly, and the shadow under his hood seemed to move, as if he was looking at them.
"The Star Core Hunter's 'script' is indeed interesting, but it's still a little less interesting than the aliens like you who are carrying a destiny."
He shook the crystal in his hand, and the purple light suddenly turned into several vines, wrapping around Lin Yu. "Especially you, Lin Yu, who carries fourteen kinds of destinies, is simply the most perfect container!"
Lin Yu protected the silver wolf behind him. The moment his own energy collided with the purple light, the entire cell shook violently.
Only then did he realize with astonishment that countless sesame-sized metal nodes were embedded in the cracks in the brickwork of the surrounding walls. These nodes were now lighting up along with the crystal's light, releasing a pale blue force field.
Those force fields were like invisible walls, locking his energy firmly in place. Every time he activated it, it felt like struggling in sticky mud.
This is not a cell at all, but an energy cage made of special metal.
"Tsk tsk, did you feel it?" The city lord paced slowly.
"This 'energy-binding steel' is specially prepared for people like you with special abilities. The more you struggle, the tighter it locks."
He suddenly changed the subject and looked at Silver Wolf with a playful smile, "But let me remind you again, although I want to catch you all in one fell swoop, Miss Silver Wolf came to me on her own."
Hearing this, the fog in Lin Yu's mind suddenly dissipated.
Silver Wolf did indeed sneak into Black Rock City according to the Star Core Hunter's script. She deliberately allowed herself to be captured, deliberately revealed their intelligence in prison, and even deliberately sent out signals.
All of this was to lure him here and complete a "plot" that she thought she was in control of.
But the astonishment on Silver Wolf's face at this moment could not be concealed at all. She stared at the crystal in the city lord's hand, her lips tightly pursed. The fear in her eyes had long since overshadowed her previous calmness. It was obvious that she had no idea about the subsequent developments.
Was she sold by her own people?
This is impossible.
Liuying has always valued her companions more than the script, and always has at least three backup plans for every action.
Although Kafka loves to play tricks on people, she never uses her companions' lives as bargaining chips.
And no matter how crazy the Star Core Hunter's script is, it will never let the chess pieces die in vain.
Silver Wolf's surprise was more likely because the script she got only covered the part about being caught.
There must be a way out behind the script.
But the current predicament did not allow him to think too much.
The metal nodes on the four walls of the cage were humming, and the light blue force field was like countless fine needles, drilling into his body through his pores.
He could clearly feel that the energy of his destiny was being drained away bit by bit.
Want to mobilize energy to counterattack? It's impossible. As soon as I gather a little strength, it will be torn into pieces by the force field and fed back into this damn cage.
The only way may be to self-destruct.
When this thought flashed through his mind, Lin Yu's fingertips felt slightly cold.
The self-detonation could instantly destroy the force field and might even destroy the crystal in the City Lord's hand, but he and Silver Wolf would most likely be torn to pieces by the energy aftermath.
This move must not be made unless it is absolutely necessary.
Now we can only place our hopes on March 7th and the others.
Lin Yu listened attentively to the movements outside the cage. Apart from the city lord's breathing, there was only the humming of the metal nodes running.
March 7th and the others should still be in the laboratory. As long as they find that he has not returned for a long time, with Xing's keen sense, they will definitely notice something unusual.
Destroying the core of the cage's force field from the outside might be the only chance of survival.
But as soon as the thought came to mind, another kind of fear gripped my heart.
Since the city lord can appear here, then March Seven and the others...
