The mottled colors formed into crystalline fragments, and the devilish sound that repeated and became increasingly sharp echoed in his ears. Every time Xiao Luoli tried to change his movements, the distorted scene around him would further shatter and piece together, making irregular movements that made him physically uncomfortable.

Jenny Silverhand and Spider Murphy had completely turned into two human-shaped mosaics, and they kept making harsh but strange sounds with intonations. Although Xiao Luoli couldn't understand them, he subconsciously regarded these sounds as garbled code.

Outside the dark door of the laboratory, a mosaic that was thicker than Jenny and the others crawled in. Xiao Luoli guessed that he was Adam Hammer.

Adam Hammer seemed to scare the two girls. The mosaic with the more raised butt pulled up the smaller mosaic and jumped over the mosaic that kept reaching out.

The departure of the two ladies seemed to take away the colors here. Everything in the laboratory quickly became dark and dim, like a black hole, taking away the little light in the laboratory.

Although the two of them were very noisy, Xiao Luoli felt that he should follow them. Sure enough, the mottled color blocks and the lingering magic sound were all formed around Jenny, which was better than the pitch-black darkness behind, wasn't it?

"Luo Li, Luo Li..."

Xiao Luoli seemed to hear someone calling her. Although the surroundings were extremely noisy, Xiao Luoli believed in her perception. When everything here became weird, she also tried to communicate with Sona outside, but there was no response.

Xiao Luoli tried to get closer to Jenny.

"Luo Li...Luo Li!"

Sure enough, the calling became louder, but it wasn't Spider Murphy's voice or anyone in Jenny Silver's hand, it sounded more like... Lucy?

"Lucy?"

In Lao Wei's clinic, Lao Wei had already left. Lucy was naked in a bathtub filled with ice cubes, with a thick wire behind her head connected to V's socket, diving deep into V's brain space.

"Lucy?"

In her mind, Lucy saw the virtual frame dismantled by the puppet in front of her slowly build into two words, and she smiled knowingly. As expected, Luo Li could hear her own voice, and the text feedback formed by the frame was an unexpected surprise.

"Luo Li, listen carefully..."

Xiao Luoli was sure that the voice was Lucy's, but why was it in V's consciousness?

"Luo Li, listen carefully. Tell me everything you have seen and experienced."

In V's brain space, the frames that were violently dismantled by Lucy's puppet kept flying around, forming words.

"The memory of this chip comes from Jenny Silverhand. I saved her, and it seems that the space collapsed."

"Luo Li, this chip can only be read but not written. If you change the facts that were originally set in memory, then V is likely to lose his life. According to my judgment, if the memory returns to its original track, then the space collapse you mentioned should be able to return to normal. Now the space has not completely collapsed, right? That means you have only changed a small branch of the facts - from now on, be a bystander and don't take any action."

Xiao Luoli was silent. He didn't expect that his small action almost killed V.

Anyway, Jenny Silverhand's memory was stored in the relic, which meant she had died a long time ago. What would it change whether I saved her or not?

Lucy was right. After Jenny and Murphy staggered out of the corridor, the laboratory, corridors, and staircases returned to normal, and the mosaics covering Jenny and Murphy also disappeared.

"Lucy, V's temperature has dropped."

The angel placed his hand on V's forehead, which was no longer as hot as before.

Lucy unplugged the cable behind her head and shook her hair that was wet with ice water: "Well, I've already told Luo Li about this."

As she spoke, Lucy put on her clothes: "Let Lao Wei use the instrument to check the status of the chip. Arasaka has transplanted a very strong anti-intrusion algorithm into the relic. I can't dive deep for a long time."

"You bunch of losers!"

In the office, a man with a slicked-back hair was furious, sweeping away the documents and decorations on his desk, which made a "crackling" sound on the floor. He had a heavy accent and looked quite dignified.

"Arasaka spends tens of millions to feed you, but you can't even deal with a random terrorist! Send more reinforcements, I want to show the world Arasaka's skills, do you understand!"

The secretary who was standing behind him with his head bowed and being scolded spoke up:

"Sir, ten fully armed Arasaka teams have surrounded them. I believe we can wipe them out in one fell swoop. But please evacuate here first. The terrorists have planted bombs here. I'm worried..."

"Baka!" Arasaka Kei slapped his secretary in the face. "As the eldest son and heir of the Arasaka family, do you want me to betray the spirit of Bushido?"

"Private Marseilles...Private Marseilles..."

The secretary kept bowing and apologizing, with her head lowered so that Kei Arasaka wouldn't see the gloom in her eyes.

"Hong Hong Hong."

The untimely knock on the door broke the atmosphere here. Now most of the employees of Arasaka Tower have been evacuated. Who would knock on the door at this time?

"You go and see."

Kei Arasaka winked at his secretary, who walked to the door and pulled the handle.

"Varied--"

Before the secretary saw the person coming, the screen of the prosthetic eye suddenly turned dark and he lost consciousness.

Kei Arasaka immediately pulled out a Shingen V-type from the drawer, aimed it at the door and shouted, "Who are you!"

But the person who came was none other than Spider Murphy. Murphy poked his head out from behind the door, and his artificial eye swept across Arasaka's arm. The new intelligent submachine gun developed by Arasaka immediately broke down, and it was useless for Arasaka to pull the trigger.

"Don't get excited, Mr. Arasaka. I just asked your secretary to restart the system. I have no ill intentions. I just need you to do me a small favor."

Xiao Luoli stood behind her with his arms folded, looking at this quirky hacker girl with great interest. He followed her all the way just to find out what she was up to.

After she pushed Jenny into the corridor, she took another elevator all the way here and quickly dealt with the Arasaka agents on the way, as if it was premeditated.

"Oh? Then let's talk business." Arasaka Kei sat back in his chair and crossed his legs, returning to his bossy demeanor. "Tell me what you want."

"I want you to connect me to the Soul Killer."
