Please call me Cyber ​​Demon King

Ke Ling smiled. Of course he knew that these "demon worshippers" were not trustworthy, and he didn't want these reckless bastards to live a good life. He just wanted to make use of them.

As for whether he can make others become like him? Of course not now, maybe in the future, but now that his [Demonization] ability has been renamed [Ultimate Life Form], it is obviously impossible to turn others into demons.

However, the fact that the "Ultimate Life Form" doesn't work doesn't mean that the "Half-Ghoul Transformation Surgery" doesn't work; it can turn other people into half-ghouls.

He still has quite a few kagune in his possession, which he can use to create some half-ghouls and then further study Rc cells.

Ke Ling is currently studying various medical, mechanical, and prosthetic knowledge on his own, growing into a "technical expert." He is just lacking some "tools" to practice with.

These "demon worshippers" used his name to commit evil deeds, and it's not entirely unjust that they ended up as his practice tools.

It just so happens that Ke Ling is also teaching himself the "half-ghoul transformation surgery". With the enthusiastic help of these scumbags, mastering the "half-ghoul transformation surgery" will be a very simple thing.

"Are we going to use these guys for human experiments?"

V's expression was somewhat awkward. This didn't sound like a good thing. Human experimentation sounded rather sinister, making one involuntarily think of the company's various misdeeds.

"Let me show you. The research prospects for this ability are very broad. If applied properly, many diseases can be cured, and even those on the verge of death can be easily saved."

Ke Ling took off his shirt, revealing his muscular upper body, which left V, Lucy, Sasha, and Jack completely bewildered, wondering what Ke Ling was trying to do with this sudden shirt-ripping stunt.

"Bah!"

Then, when Ke Ling released the four types of kagune, they were all dumbfounded, their eyes filled with a kind of bewilderment, the bewilderment of seeing something they couldn't understand.

Ke Ling briefly explained the function of "Rc cells" to the four of them, as well as the characteristics of the four types of kagune.

"They are difficult to harm with ordinary weapons, possess powerful self-healing abilities, and have various types of kagune with different functions."

"Once we master the medical applications of Rc cells, they are incredibly effective in treating injuries and diseases."

After listening to Ke Ling's brief introduction, V, Lucy, Sasha, and Jack looked at each other in surprise; the effect was indeed powerful.

It's the first year of my marriage. I'm going back to my parents' home tomorrow. It's in another city, and I estimate I'll stay for two or three days. But I only have one draft saved, so I'll do my best!

Chapter 129 In the end, he lived up to the appearance of the Ghost King.

"After hearing what you said, I'm even willing to be your test subject."

V clicked his tongue. As long as he controlled the usage limits, he wouldn't turn into a man-eating monster due to the side effects of excessive Rc cell concentration. This was even safer than getting a prosthetic body.

After all, even with a prosthetic body, you can still get cyberpsychosis. Cyberpsychosis is irrational and won't stop bothering you just because you control how often you use the prosthetic body.

Some people have only received simple prosthetics, or even just a knee or kidney transplant, yet they still develop cyberpsychosis.

Not all cyberpsychotics engage in fierce firefights with the Terrorist Mobile Unit; many cyberpsychotics shut themselves out, refusing to see friends, colleagues, and family.

They go unnoticed, undetected, terminally ill, utterly alone, and may die silently, or perhaps in the sound of a gunshot.

To be honest, while people are getting prosthetic bodies and enjoying their convenience, the shadow of cyberpsychosis always looms over their minds.

Even if those scientists who took ill-gotten gains claim that they have no connection with the onset of cyberpsychosis, or even deny the existence of cyberpsychosis altogether, the increasing number of cases cannot be concealed.

Social circumstances are forcing people to install prosthetics. If you refuse to get a prosthetic eye because there is a 5% chance of losing your sight, then I'm sorry, many jobs will say no to you.

People have no choice but to risk immune rejection, high incidence of mental illness, implant dependence, and other problems by getting prosthetics.

But now, Ke Ling has another option. At least according to Ke Ling's description, as long as this "Rc cell" is not overused, it will not have any side effects on the body.

This is undoubtedly very attractive to people, especially those living at the bottom of society.

Although most of the capabilities of this "Rc cell" can be achieved with prosthetics, equipping a complete set of prosthetics with such effects is quite expensive.

The saying that the rich rely on technology while the poor rely on mutation is certainly true, because becoming stronger through technology requires having sufficient capital and wisdom.

"Is this technology also from a biotechnology company?"

Jack Wells cautiously asked, "This style sounds like something a biotechnology company would come up with."

"Uh, no."

Ke Ling vehemently denied it, and then went on to explain his plans.

The herbivore transplanted into the experimental subject is different from the quinque made into a quinque. Quinques are inanimate objects that can be completely transformed into flesh and blood, while the transplanted herbivore retains cellular activity and cannot be completely transformed into flesh and blood.

However, the quinquerons fused with the kagune, as well as other hardware used to assist in controlling the kagune's power, can be activated by flesh and blood.

Ke Ling has already experimented and found that the quinqueron components that have been activated with flesh and blood will retain their original control over the kagune.

Whether the Kagune can be used and whether it can release the Kagune are all up to Ke Ling. He can even use those flesh-activated Quinque components to completely destroy the Kagune and damage the implantee's internal organs. The implantee with a destroyed Kagune will die directly from the damage to their internal organs.

Once the kagune is destroyed, the regenerative abilities of the Rc cells will naturally cease to function. Rc cells are not omnipotent; the simplest way to kill a ghoul is actually to destroy the kagune.

In other words, whether or not the experimental subjects who have received the transplanted Hepburn can use this new organ depends entirely on Ke Ling's decision; their very lives are now in Ke Ling's hands.

Ke Ling said that he could only use the ability if he was given it; if Ke Ling said he couldn't use it, he wouldn't be able to use it even if he put in all his effort.

You prayed to the "Undying Demon" Devor Collins for power, and the "Undying Demon" answered you, granting you power in exchange for your faith and loyalty. If you no longer believe in the "Undying Demon" and no longer offer your loyalty, then the power granted to you will be completely taken back.

That would be true demon worship, and those who are not sincere would not only fail to gain power, but might even die as a result.

After going around in circles, Ke Ling did indeed end up on the path of the Ghost King. However, these experimental subjects were unable to experience it because Ke Ling never intended to give them the ability to move freely. He simply treated them as his "physical teachers."

"Hiss~ Ke Ling, you wouldn't actually be some kind of evil god, would you?"

Upon hearing Ke Ling's outrageous move, V couldn't help but shudder. Paying such a price to gain power seemed a bit too much.

If your life and abilities are entirely in someone else's hands, and don't belong to you at all, aren't you becoming a complete slave? Then what's the point of having those abilities? Isn't the purpose of acquiring powerful abilities to live more freely? This is putting the cart before the horse.

In comparison, this ability seems to be no different from having a prosthetic body installed; it is an alternative prosthetic implant.

However, installing a prosthetic body means becoming a slave to the company, while Ke Ling's ability makes all implant recipients his slaves.

Capitalists and corporations are the evil gods of this world, and Ke Ling's methods are no different from those of capitalists.

"What evil god or not? Want to gain power without paying the price? There's no such thing as a free lunch. And you have to understand one thing: this ability isn't something anyone can just get. If someone isn't compatible enough, they'll die instantly if they use it."

Ke Ling chuckled. "The requirements for the 'half-ghoul transformation surgery' are very strict. Although he has enough kagune to use, he may not be able to find enough suitable candidates to serve as carriers. Even experimental subjects are not something that just anyone can do."

"So what should we do? Capture them all alive? And let you try them one by one?"

V frowned. Slaughtering them all and capturing them alive are two completely different concepts. The difficulty level is on a completely different level. Even if there were a hundred pigs, it would take some effort to catch them all. Let alone these are people. It would be much easier to just shoot them all with a gun.

"Then we might come in handy."

Sasha smiled, then proceeded to hack and knock out all those guys. That made things much easier, and she and Lucy could finally show off their skills.

"Or install a non-lethal plugin, which can be used to avoid fatal points when hitting people."

Jack Wells suggested that non-lethal mods can be valuable when the goal is to capture a target alive.

"No need for such trouble. I only guide those who are destined to be saved. If I kill someone, I kill them. Only those who survive are qualified to undergo my test. Those who fail will still face certain death."

Ke Ling didn't want to make things too complicated. He had never liked those damn demon gangs anyway. If they were killed, so be it. If a few were left, he would test them to see if they were qualified to withstand the power of the kagune as test subjects.

"Then let's go, I'll take you there."

Jack Wells stood up decisively. Their Thrace seats could easily accommodate five people. He and Ke Ling sat in the front, while V, Sasha, and Lucy squeezed into the back seats.

The group of five left the room without hesitation, each taking their weapons with them; cyber ronin naturally always carry weapons with them when they go out.

Even if the initial purpose was to visit Ke Ling, there might be dangers along the way, so they had to be prepared for battle at any time.

"Wow, a new car."

When Ke Ling saw Thrace downstairs, he couldn't help but sigh. The previous Thrace had obviously been scrapped, but this one was a brand new car.

Thanks to the endorsement of "the immortal demon" Davo Collins, Thrace's sales are now taking off again.

Putting everything else aside, the quality and defensive capabilities of this vehicle are truly impressive, absolutely beyond question. The claim that it can calmly navigate through a hail of bullets and clear minefields is no joke.

"Thanks to you, Thrace has tested the level of Thrace's armor. Thrace should really give you a endorsement fee."

Jack Wells gave a thumbs up. They hadn't really trusted Thrace's claims before, but Ke Ling's real experience proved that Thrace wasn't exaggerating.

"If I dared to go, they would really dare to make me their spokesperson."

Ke Ling smiled. For Thrace, a car company, his research was of little value, because Thrace certainly couldn't hold onto such enormous wealth, but they could enjoy the benefits of the endorsement.

Not all the company employees were of one mind. Some were desperately keeping an eye on news related to Dave Collins, while others weren't interested at all. After all, something this big was unlikely to give them a chance to even get a piece of the pie.

The five men got into the car, and Jack Wells drove Thrace straight to the Santo Domingo district, where the "Devil Gang" had taken root.

"These bastards actually managed to find a hideout in the Sixth Street Gang's territory?"

When Jack Wells led the group to the "Devil Gang's" hideout, V was somewhat incredulous. It was a well-defended factory, and these "Devil Gang" guys were really capable.

The Santo Domingo district is a newly developed industrial area with many factories, but it takes real skill to find a factory here as a base; the Sixth Street Gang is no pushover.

"Wait a minute, I feel like there's something wrong with this place?"

Outside the factory, Ke Ling narrowed his eyes. The "Sixth Street Gang" was not someone to be trifled with. Was this trap a bit too crude?

The only chapter I have saved is actually a remnant from the previous chapter. I'll most likely have to take the day off tomorrow. I can't help it, I'm at my mother-in-law's house and simply don't have time to write.

Chapter 130 Fishing

"You mean this is a trap?"

Ke Ling's words immediately put everyone on alert. Jack Wells asked a question, his expression becoming suspicious.

Thinking about it this way, the speed at which this demon gang appeared was indeed rather strange.

Although the Davo Collins incident caused quite a stir, and the "undying demon" concept is indeed very controversial, it shouldn't have attracted a group of worshippers so quickly.

But if this evil gang was created by the company's dogs, then it makes perfect sense.

"Yes, this Demon Gang is most likely a trap."

Ke Ling narrowed his eyes. He wondered which company came up with this idea. It was quite clever. They almost rushed in headfirst.

This method may not be foolproof, but it certainly tests human nature. As long as "Undying Demon" Davo Collins is still in Night City, no matter what kind of person he is, people will pay some attention to the "Demon Gang," a gang that uses his name, and might even get involved.

For office workers, creating such a "devil gang" as bait is incredibly easy and requires almost no effort.

The Demon Gang's rampage and killing of people is nothing to them; as long as they can capture test subjects, any sacrifice is worthwhile.

"Damn! These corporate dogs are ruthless!"

V cursed. He had to admit that this move really hit their weak spot. For these street people, how could they possibly tolerate such a thing?
