Li Shijian hated Li Shihai, but he hated Song Xiaozhu even more.
Before meeting Song Xiaozhu, Li Shijian, born in the Hatching Nest, never thought of resisting, nor did he ever think of assassinating Li Shihai or even destroying the Synthesizer.
Song Xiaozhu's appearance shattered the ceiling above his head, allowing him to see a brighter, more expansive, and magnificent world.
Thus, Li Shijian found new hope in his life, which had been shackled.
leave!
Leave with Song Xiaozhu!
To achieve this goal, they must kill Li Shijian and destroy the Synthesizer.
However, how difficult this is can only be truly felt once it begins to be implemented.
What you can't do, what you can't accomplish, is just a dream.
He couldn't leave this place, and neither could Song Xiaozhu.
Fortunately... they're still together.
Even if it means dying together.
When Li Shijian decided to assassinate Li Shihai, he had already given up all hope. He simply felt that if Song Xiaozhu wanted to do it, he would do it with her; if Song Xiaozhu was going to die, he would die with her.
Those who have never seen light cannot imagine what it looks like.
Once enveloped in gentleness, one can no longer endure this endless darkness.
With a death wish, Li Shijian met Li Shihai.
Li Shihai smiled at him, " Xiaozhu arrived earlier than you."
Li Shijian a chill run down his spine. "You... she..." He couldn't bring himself to say the word "death," and felt a rush of blood to his head. He grabbed the dagger in his hand and charged forward.
With a bang, his knife was stopped by an invisible wall.
Li Shijian's eyes widened, and he trembled with fear.
The gap between them was too great; Li Shihai's abilities far exceeded their expectations.
She's not dead.
"!"
Li Shihai stood up, looking down at him. "I'm giving her a choice: either sit in that chair and get stabbed to death, or take the Synthesizer and go outside to be my daughter."
Li Shijian's Adam's apple bobbed. "You're lying to her, how could you possibly have the Synthesizer..."
Li Shihai tore open his clothes, exposing his chest to Li Shijian: "Look, he's gone."
Li Shijian gasped at the sight before him, and couldn't help but take several steps back.
Li Shihai's chest cavity had a large hole, with rotting growths spreading outwards. His internal organs were all gone, leaving only a single organ the size of a basketball.
The emptiness.
Even so, Li Shihai did not die.
He slowly and methodically put on his clothes, covering up the horrifying scene.
" Xiaozhu is a smart child; she chose to be my daughter." He said, a smirk playing on his lips, his words dripping with malice, "Instead of staying as your niece."
Li Shijian froze, then veins bulged on his forehead. "She won't abandon me, she absolutely won't! We promised to leave together, we're going to destroy the Synthesizer, we're going to..."
He bit his lower lip and launched another attack on Li Shihai.
Li Shihai remained motionless, and the invisible barrier propelled Li Shijian three or four meters away.
"You're at least ten years older than her, how can you be even more childish than her?" Li Shihai bent down and walked up to him, looking at him like he was trash, and said, "Because she's a 'defective product'?"
Li Shijian: "No!" He attacked Li Shihai madly and without any strategy.
A flicker of disgust crossed Li Shihai's eyes, but he sighed softly, suppressing the traces of helplessness, and continued, "I made it very clear to her that if she took the Synthesizer, you would die here. Guess what her answer was?"
Li Shijian gripped the dagger tightly, as if it were a drowning man's lifeline.
"She said, 'Uncle will understand. It's better for me to get out than for both of us to die.'" Li Shijian looked at Li Shihai. "So, do you understand now?"
-
Li Shijian was killed countless times on that chair, but the excruciating pain of each death paled in comparison to the agony of betrayal.
He hated Song Xiaozhu; he wanted her to taste the pain he had suffered; he wanted to make this greedy woman lose everything; he wanted to destroy the world and everyone.
Filled with deep-seated hatred, Li Shijian actually used the Energy Stone within the " Undead " body to awaken and become a "hypnotist" with the ability to manipulate people's minds.
He killed Li Shihai; he finally killed him.
Without the Synthesizer, Li Shihai was already at his last gasp. He died at the hands of the children he had created, torn to pieces and eaten by the remaining hundred or so children.
The Synthesizer left him.
He himself was already part of the Synthesizer.
The pure kernel is gone.
What remains are broken fragments.
The "synthetic" consumed the fragments.
Li Shijian initially wanted to kill everyone and destroy this damned Hatching Nest, but the next moment, he saw a pure, innocent smile on the screen.
girl.
No, we can't just let it go like this.
He wanted her to experience pain a hundred times, a thousand times, ten thousand times greater than anything he had ever endured!
Li Shijian reviewed the manuscripts left by Li Shihai and learned the truth about the Synthesizer.
It actually came from that asteroid that destroyed human civilization.
No wonder it possesses such terrifying power.
The asteroid carried Rough Stone, Rough Stone polluted the land and formed Energy Stone Fragment within certain life forms. These Energy Stone Fragment could then be combined to form Energy Stone...
After being used by humans, the Energy Stone awakened various "professions," and thus... Li Shihai called them Awakening Stone.
It all originated from that asteroid, from the source of that disaster.
Li Shijian continued reading and found Li Shihai's diary, in which he recorded his various thoughts on Synthesizer.
" The Synthesizer has two Growth Quest: Mission A is to eliminate the intruders, and Mission B is to escape danger..."
"Isn't this contradictory? How can we escape danger without killing the intruders?"
