Soul Patch

Chapter 278 End of Control
"What a pathetic sight! What's wrong with a grown man taking a few beatings? Is it more important than a girl's breasts?" Wenjie stuck out his tongue helplessly.

The fat thug was kicked away, lying on the ground cursing and grumbling, "Go, kill him! Attack! All of you, attack him!"

The thugs, who had been bullying their master, were terrified when they saw their boss get kicked. They stopped punching and kicking and shrank back.

The leader's words made them freeze in their tracks, unsure whether to retreat or advance.

The group looked at each other, hesitant, and none of them moved.

It's obvious, isn't it? Whoever stands up for themselves gets beaten up.

One of the bald men, trying to appear calm, brandished his fist at Wenjie and said menacingly:
"You...you stay away! Do you believe we'll beat you to death?!"

Hmph! He looks fierce and ruthless, but he's all bark and no bite. He probably doesn't even believe what he says... Wenjie sneered inwardly.

Seeing that the group of thugs were out of control, the girl sadly rushed towards her boyfriend who was being beaten.

Wenjie went over and helped Han Feng up.

The kid got hurt, clutching his stomach in pain, his back hunched over like a weak shrimp.

"Great, that's pretty brave! Do you need to go to the hospital?"

"That's right, I..." Han Feng seemed to have a lot to say, but he froze on the spot, his mouth open but no words coming out.

"The hospital...can I go?" "Damn it, I have to go to the hospital! I almost lost my life trying to drag Wenjie into this mess. If I don't go, someone might die..." Han Feng couldn't help but complain.

"Buzz buzz buzz buzz..."

The sound of sirens rang out; the police had arrived.

Wenjie glanced around with a cold smile: the girl was bandaging the boy's wound, while Han Feng was still in a daze.

They didn't call the police, and neither did they themselves, so it's even less likely that the group of thugs would call the police... So, it's really strange that the police appeared so promptly.

Sure enough, the group of police officers headed straight for Wenjie. The other officers shouted and subdued the group of thugs.

The lead police officer politely flashed his badge: "Hello, please cooperate and go back to the police station to make a statement."

One of the officers walked up to the fat thug and squatted down.

He nudged the fat man on the ground, and suddenly his face turned pale. He said in a trembling voice, "Captain Zheng, this man is dead."

what?
Someone died?
Wenjie looked at Han Feng and found that Han Feng also looked completely bewildered.

It seems Han Feng doesn't know what they're up to either... Could it be that they're trying to lock me up and cause someone's death?

Hmm, a human life should be locked up for at least a few years, which is much harsher than a three-month internship... Wenjie rubbed his temples.

He slowly raised his head, looking at the police, the thugs, the couple, Han Feng...

A line of bizarre text, like smoke and mist, gradually emerged:
[Start Online Task]

A sharp siren rang out over the park, sounding somewhat like a fire siren, but higher and more urgent.

It's somewhat similar to an ambulance siren, but sharper and more piercing...

This signaled the end of the surveillance operation. Like the wrap party in a movie, the crowd in front of him erupted in cheers and celebration.

The policeman, who had been wearing a sour face just a second ago, was now hugging and joking with the thugs, acting like they were brothers;
The fat guy who had been lying on the ground, seemingly lifeless, suddenly sprang up like a zombie and gave everyone a solo performance, his entire body of fat jiggling.
The girl who had just been acting all innocent and pitiful threw off her ripped ladylike dress, revealing her super short shorts and bra, and then jumped up with the fat man...

Demons and monsters, a chaotic horde...

They've gone mad, completely mad!

A bunch of lunatics!
Wenjie felt a lightness in his body; this was the signal to enter the networked system.

The feeling of weightlessness became more and more obvious, followed by everything going black.

……

John's room. After Jon knocked on the door, a woman's voice came from inside: "Come in."

John peered through the peephole, confirmed it was Jon, then unlocked the door and opened it a crack.

What came into view was Jon's gloomy face, his eyes flashing with coldness.

John stepped back to let Jon in.

Jon said in a muffled voice, "What's wrong? Why did you have to call me here?"

When he saw Lucy sitting on the bed, he paused for a moment, then turned to look at John.

John said with a serious expression, "Jon, we think Professor Zhao Jingshu is problematic."

Jon was stunned by John's words and swallowed hard to process the shock of this explosive news.

"pardon? RU crazy?"

Lucy propped herself up and said solemnly, "I'm afraid John is right. Therefore, this plan must be suspended immediately!"

“Pause? Then these scenes… these people…” Jon pointed to the window.

Outside the window is a scene of the southern part of the capital city, with the Xiaoyue Lake flowing gently, echoing the exquisite landscape of the street blocks.

This area, covering 4963 acres, was originally a film and television city. They rented it and transformed it according to local conditions.

The project involved 31574 professional actors and extras, and included both residential and commercial facilities. Through their extensive network, they transformed the area into a replica of the capital city, imbued with the marks of time, within just a few months.

Spending several weeks training actors without a script actually makes it more difficult, and one wrong move could ruin everything.

Does this mean all these efforts were in vain?

“John, how are you going to explain this huge investment to the organization with no return? John, have you forgotten the oath we took before entering the country? And now it's all over…”

Jon suddenly stopped talking and stared intently at John.

Seeing the resolute glint in John's eyes, he slowly reached out and patted John on the shoulder.

He then looked at Lucy intently and whispered, "Be alive."

Lucy pouted, and her eyes, hidden in the shadows of her brow bone, welled up with tears.

After a long silence, Jon slowly asked, "What do you need me to do?"

That's too late
John's walkie-talkie, the telephone, and Lucy's phone all started ringing.

The three men exchanged glances: something serious must have happened.

John took two deep breaths and answered the phone.

Lucy answered the phone.

"The network system has been activated." It was Master Fang, his voice calm and emotionless: "Our mission is complete. When will we fulfill our promise?"

John glanced at Lucy, whose bright eyes widened in astonishment, her hand holding the phone trembling uncontrollably…

"What's wrong? What's wrong? Say something!" Jon asked anxiously when he saw the two of them like this.

Before the two of them could speak, a loud hum resounded through the sky.

Jon was both shocked and furious. He gasped for breath and roared, "It's started? Professor Zhao succeeded?"

How to do?
我们 该 怎么 办?
Lucy suddenly ran to Jon, hugged him tightly, and choked out, "Joey, I miss you."

Jon was startled, tightened his embrace, and pulled Lucy into his arms even more tightly: "Lucy, is it that I will never see you again?"
