Chapter 54

"What exactly did he spread...?"

In the surveillance room, the high-ranking officials were also puzzled by Zheng Chen's actions, but none of them thought he would do something meaningless. "Quick! Adjust the surveillance to the city below!"

Kaleoda, with his head full of red hair and a robust build, seemed to realize something and immediately roared. ⊙

The technicians hurriedly adjusted the surveillance range to the city below. People there were curiously looking up at the battle in the sky, still not understanding what was happening. "It seems nothing is wrong?"

"Do not be careless, investigate every place!" As the surveillance images flickered, some abnormalities appeared. Some people had black spots on their bodies, and those with black spots were writhing and screaming on the ground in pain, frightening the people nearby.

However, no one dared to approach them, as those with black spots were rapidly changing. The black spots spread quickly, and as they spread, the blackness on their bodies gradually turned into crystals. These crystallized parts were filled with cracks and then shattered and dispersed.

Because the black particles spread over a wide area, they did not completely crystallize and shatter the people, but the partial crystallization still caused a great deal of panic. The residents were afraid that the deadly black spots might appear on their bodies at any moment!

Indeed, they were deadly. Although these black spots could not completely crystallize a person, they could partially crystallize them. If it was on an arm, it would be just a broken arm, and once the particles' power was exhausted, there would be no danger. But what if it appeared on the head?

"What is this thing!" As more and more cases of black spots appeared, the officials were all shocked. "Should we... continue to intercept the target?"

"..." Everyone was silent. If it weren't for their greed for Zheng Chen's abilities, this situation might not have happened. The other party was just one person... Yes, just one person, how could he possibly stand against the powerful Edel Garden?

But unexpected variables always appear out of the blue!

These people felt their throats dry. If those black particles spread over a large area, what kind of disaster would it be!? Edel Garden would also suffer a severe blow.

"The President has given an order, let them leave!" Before they could make any decision, someone came to convey the order. The messenger paused and continued, "The President also said no more thoughts..."

Thoughts? Who would dare now? The President's words meant that the top person in Edel Garden was also angry. CIA was still in Zheng Chen's hands, and there was a high possibility that the black particles came from CIA. If he was pushed to the limit, he might resort to a scorched earth policy?

None of them could bear the consequences!

"... Damn it!" Oluha also received the order. Although he didn't know what had happened, he could guess from the angry tone of the higher-ups that Zheng Chen's actions had caused something bad.

Letting him go like this was too frustrating.

Frustrating as it was, he couldn't do anything. When the order came from headquarters, the messenger emphasized that it was the President's direct order, probably to prevent him from taking further action.

"Consider yourself lucky!" Oluha glared at Zheng Chen, who was about to fall to the ground, and said with a frown.

...

"Doctor, is he okay?" Lei looked at Zheng Chen lying on the hospital bed with concern. Since he returned from Edel Garden the day before yesterday, he had been weak, and his condition had worsened. If only she had paid more attention to his condition back then...

"Not good at all." Xina shook her head and pulled open Zheng Chen's shirt. The black spots on his left hand had connected into a large patch, now spreading to his side. "This is a poison... a very potent poison for humans. Where is Hyde? He might be more suitable to look at this."

After thinking for a moment, Xina said to Lei, who looked dejected.

"Hyde is taking care of Xinya."

"... I see." Xina nodded helplessly. She still remembered clearly the scene when Zheng Chen returned. Hyde and Grina were so angry that they almost demolished the clinic!

"This is not the time to be sad." Xina shook her head and took out a newspaper. "You need to think about leaving here quickly."

The content of the newspaper stunned Lei. They were now labeled as terrorists on this continent, with photos of some of the victims from Edel Garden attached.

Edel Garden had directly positioned themselves as the victims!

"I really admire the boss for doing this." Greyaz also looked at today's newspaper. Most of the content was about the recent events at Edel Garden, but the real story... don't overestimate the average intelligence of the public... well, in short, the truth is always in the hands of a few.

"But after this, we can't stay on the continent anymore..."

It was foreseeable that Zheng Chen's future identity would become the public enemy of this continent. The newspaper exaggerated his threat, for example, what would happen if Zheng Chen spread these dangerous particles everywhere?

Zheng Chen's location couldn't be exposed, or there would be a lot of trouble. To keep it secret, they had even given up their usual singing and hardly went out.

"Ah~ I feel like my life is dark." Throwing the newspaper aside, Siska looked helpless and slumped on the table. They hadn't even reached Edel Garden, and Zheng Chen's situation had already spread. In short, they hadn't participated in this matter, and it was already over.

As for Kude, he had already encountered the Red Lynx's repaired new spaceship halfway.

"Really, he actually did this." Picking up the newspaper she had thrown aside, Siska looked at the information with a frown. She couldn't believe everything written there, but it was true that Zheng Chen had done something that couldn't be easily resolved. As for the details, they hadn't been involved at all, so how could they investigate anything?

Now, even if they wanted to investigate, they couldn't.

"But I never thought he would form a contract."

Siska sighed deeply, not sure what she was sighing about.

Putting down the newspaper, Lei said guiltily. She had long calmed down and, upon reflection, realized her actions that day were too impulsive.

"What about Xinya..."

"Take her with us." Hyde burst in, slamming the door open. He was about to make a loud noise but was immediately silenced by Xina's glare. Seeing Zheng Chen, who was still unconscious, he curled his lips. "When did this guy become so weak? He's still not awake?"

"His condition is complicated, and we'll need your help soon." Xina said helplessly.

"What!" Hyde's voice rose several octaves, and he flatly refused. "I'm already busy, and I haven't even settled the score with him for treating me like a vet!"

When Zheng Chen brought Xinya back, Hyde and Xina divided their responsibilities, with Xina taking care of Zheng Chen and Hyde taking care of Xinya. Zheng Chen's condition was bad, and Xinya's was no better. When Hyde saw her, he thought she was some kind of abnormal creature.

Holy War Angel?

Which Holy War Angel could be so messed up... What did Edel Garden do!?

"His condition is similar to a Holy War Angel."

"... What!?" Pushing up his glasses, Hyde, who had come to take a look and was about to leave, asked in surprise, "He's a guy!"

A guy can't be a Holy War Angel!

Even if some people are the offspring of humans and Holy War Angels, as long as they are male, they can't be Holy War Angels. However, they can use the response spells that Holy War Angels can activate alone, while females inherit the core stone.

So... tsk, in short, he's a guy, that's enough!

"Here, take a look at this." Xina handed a tray to Hyde. Hyde took it with some confusion, pinched the black powder inside, and his casual expression turned serious. "This stuff... feels like the powder of a core stone. Where did you get it?"

Xinya glanced at Zheng Chen. "From the crystallized part of his arm."

"... Damn, this guy won't turn into a core stone, will he?" Hyde made a strange sound, and his eyes glowed with interest. "Might as well... let me dissect him and make use of the waste!"

"Aren't you worried about Grina cutting you up later?"

"Tsk, someone outside, come help carry him away, don't get caught!" Hyde called to Greyaz outside the door.

"Uh, where are you planning to take the boss?" Greyaz said hesitantly, as Hyde's expression looked dangerous... He had also vaguely heard dangerous words like "dissection" outside.

"Crematorium." Hyde said irritably.

"..." Greyaz was shocked!

Seeing his expression, Hyde sneered. "You took it seriously? Take him to my clinic first."

"Cough, don't worry too much..." After Zheng Chen was taken away, Hyde said to Lei, feeling a bit awkward. Xinya's condition was extremely complicated. Hyde had discovered countless types of Holy War Angel abilities in her, and although most of them couldn't be used by Xina, they definitely existed!

These mixed abilities were constantly conflicting, and the solution? There might be one, but he was at a loss.

Of course, he would never admit that! Damn it, he really wanted to get to the bottom of everything at Edel Garden!
