In terms of results.Lucio wasn't kicked out, but he didn't do much either.He sat on the chair opposite Lucifer and smiled, but like a virtual image, the outline blurred from time to time, as if it would disappear in the next second.However, he still did not disappear, calmly confronting Lucifer.

And Belial had put away his apparent hostility, and stood behind Lucifer with a half-smile.Lucifer looked at Lucio with a slight bored expression: "You are here, it seems that Avatar has eaten unclean things. What is the purpose of coming here for inferior products that can't even be digested?"

"What about inferior products... Are you still angry with your father? Because he didn't choose you as a starting point for evolution?"

Lucio said these words very calmly, but it was this kind of calmness that seemed extraordinarily weird against his now inexplicably young appearance, like a silent provocation.Lucifer even smiled: "Have you also become able to think in this weak way? Now that things are going on, you are actually trying to gain a sense of superiority from me?"

Lucio sighed slightly.

"I don't have that plan... well, but if it looks like this to you, then just take it as it is. I'll explain my purpose of coming here in a concise manner. Could you please stop the Avatar? If you put it down now If you stop, I can guarantee that no one will hold you accountable."

"I reject."

"I suppose so."

Lucifer looked down at Lucio with a gaze that was almost indifferent, and the only temperature mixed in it was boredom and contempt.Lucio smiled and said: "Wouldn't it be better if Lucifer came to persuade you? I heard that you dote on him very much."

"No point. I'm not going to change my plans. It's the same for anyone."

"It's really heartless. Is your purpose really to pursue perfection?"

"It's to deny humanity."

Lucifer closed his eyes, let out a long breath as if falling into a nap, and leaned back on the recliner: "Perfection is the goal I have achieved, and Lucifer is my highest masterpiece. His existence Having proved my strength, all that remains is to achieve my purpose."

Lucio was silent for a while, then said, "You are indeed angry."

He remembered that night, Lucifer, who was only 14 years old, was left alone in the room.The training, adjustments, and preparations before that were all wasted in an instant, and became something that had nothing to do with Lucifer.At that time, Lucio couldn't understand the meaning of the eyes he was looking at him, but when he came out of the laboratory again, he understood.In order to better serve humans, Lucio has become more human-specifically, he has been "installed" with emotions that he didn't have before.This made him smile for the first time after seeing Lucifer again: "Good evening, Lucifer."

The relationship between relatives in this world is intimate, and they should give their emotions without asking for anything in return.So even though he saw the change in Lucifer's eyes, he still approached and stroked the hair of the boy who was shorter than him at that time: "I'm sorry I haven't talked to you well. From now on I I will make it up, after all we are like brothers."

Lucifer stared at him, looking confused and disgusted.After a long silence, he opened Lucio's hand.

"This kind of inferior product is the answer...?" He murmured and stepped back: "Things that are worse than dolls..."

"Lucifer?"

Although he had never had any intimate conversations with his "brother" before, it was the first time that Lucio had suffered such blatant disgust.He cast a puzzled look at Lucifer, but Lucifer rejected him with a merciless belittling sentence: "Go away."

"...that's disgusting."

After so many years, Lucifer's rhetoric still hasn't changed, throwing the same words at him with complete annoyance.

"It's too much, if you really think I'm disgusting, why do you want to do Lucifer like me?"

"Grafted scum deserves to be compared to my greatest masterpiece? He lives, thinks, and finally reaches the end of selflessness and love because of himself, and you are just a thing that moves after that guy presses a button That's all." Lucifer seemed to have almost lost interest in the conversation.Lucio shrugged.After a pause of a few seconds, he said as easily as he was talking about what to eat for dinner: "It seems that there is no way for us to resolve it through dialogue. I didn't want to resort to violence."

"Just because of your incomplete consciousness? You have been able to resist assimilation until now, should I say that you are as stubborn as a cockroach? Belial, get the bugs out of the room."

The blurring of Lucio's body suddenly intensified following Lucifer's words. He seemed to be melting, and his outline gradually became ambiguous. Blood that shouldn't exist flowed out of his mouth, but he still smiled all over his face: "Sorry. Really sorry. I understand. See you next time, Lucifer."

As soon as the words fell, his young body seemed to be twisted into an unnatural ball suddenly by invisible hands, blood spurted out, seeping into the carpet viscously and densely.

"For an injury of this degree, even if it is a strengthened person, it will take quite a while to regenerate. I am afraid that he will maintain this lack of an arm for quite a while. If this is the case, he cannot be exposed to others. I am afraid it will be quite inconvenience."

Raphael narrated Lucio's situation in a straightforward manner, and Sandalphine felt a little headache when he heard it.On the one hand, it was a headache because of the complicated situation after Lucio fell, and on the other hand, it was a headache because Raphael stared at him while talking.Sandalphin couldn't even ignore the scrutiny in his gaze.Lucio didn't wake up either, so he could only say awkwardly, "Raphael, do you have something to ask me?"

"Something happened between you and the director?"

Sandalphin jumped on his shoulders and replied bravely, "I caused him trouble."

"..." Raphael was usually reticent, but now that he was silent, it was impossible to see what he was thinking.But after a while, he said: "The director has changed since he came back. No... maybe earlier, he has changed. His way of thinking has become more tactful, probably because of your influence."

"sorry."

"Why do you have to apologize? I didn't say that it was a bad influence. Although I can't conclude that it was a good one. Because there is no corresponding event to judge. It's just..."

only?Sandalphin looked up at him, and Rafael stared at Sandalphin with a slight sense of scrutiny: "He has a very high opinion of you, and the message to us is for us to teach you how to work properly."

He paused for a moment, and Sandalphin was also slightly taken aback during this pause, and then a wonderful sense of mission arose in his heart.But Raphael immediately said: "I think you can complete the requirements of taking care of patients independently now. I will report to the director and I will return to my post first. Is there any problem?"

Did you really want to leave? It would have been nice to have said no.Sandalphin said quite speechlessly that he was fine by himself, and then sent Raphael away.The ward was very quiet, only the beeping of the instrument and Lucio's breathing while sleeping.The rain outside still hasn't stopped.After the rebellion, Sandalphin already knew that all human researchers had evacuated from Canaan. Now he looked out of the window because of the ruins of the rainy day, and there was no one. He even gave him the illusion that this place is like a ruin.

When he was first created, Canaan was still very lively, and it was completely unexpected that it would become what it is today.But in the future, according to Lucifer's expectations, Canaan will also be separated from human society.Including those in the detention center, the whereabouts of the remaining nearly [-] fortified people is also a problem.The other enhanced people are okay, but the people in the detention center are not very obedient, and they will probably become another kind of trouble... ah.

Sandalphin suddenly thought of the problem that he had shelved because of Lucio's lethargy.earphone.The earphones used to influence his mind before were also distributed to other rebels by Belial.Most of those rebels will fall into a state of mental instability just like myself.But now he couldn't leave, couldn't check it, so he could only try to call Lucifer.The call was connected quickly: "Sunda Fern? Is something wrong?"

"Ah, no. Everything is safe here. It's just that you rushed out as if you suddenly thought of something, and wanted to ask when you came back. After that, you still have some questions to ask you."

"Well... that's it. It's true that the incident happened suddenly, and there is a lot of work backlogged. But I'm afraid I won't be able to come back often in the next period of time. I plan to investigate Avatar directly. Sorry, because of security issues, I can't Let you come together."

"...I understand. It's mainly the detention center. The information I obtained last time has not been reported to you. And you arranged a dialogue with Asachel, and now it is temporarily put on hold."

Lucifer pondered for a moment on the other end of the phone, then softly said: "Can I leave it to you?"

Sandalphin opened her eyes slightly on the phone.

"Because you obtained the initial information, even if I participate in the follow-up investigation, I still need to bring you along. In that case, it's better to ask you directly. For interrogation skills, you can ask Gabriel to borrow someone, that's fine. Bar?"

"Yes...! Yes! I will definitely work hard to do well! I will definitely live up to your expectations!"

There was a low chuckle from the other end of the phone.I don't know if it was Sandalphin's illusion, but Lucifer sounded a little tired: "You don't need to feel a lot of pressure, you can tell me anytime if you have any questions. How is Lucio's situation?"

"I haven't woken up yet. Both the doctor and Rafael said that his condition has stabilized, but the regeneration of the severed limb is really..."

"Regeneration... Wait for me to come back and try to make spare parts for him. If there are spare parts, the repair speed should be greatly increased."

"Well, I'll pass it on to him."

After Sandalph responded, he suddenly found that Lucio in the sterile cabin in front of him had opened his eyes and was looking at him quietly.San Defen immediately said briefly: "Master Lucifer, he is awake. Then I will hang up first, and I will give you a detailed report later." Afterwards, he hung up the phone and leaned closer to the sterile cabin: " Lucio, are you okay?"

"..." Lucio seemed a little unresponsive. He raised his hand, touched his body as if confirming something, and then smiled: "How long have I been asleep?"

"Several hours. You'd better rest for a while. Although the wound has been controlled, after all, you're missing a whole arm. Just now, Master Lucifer said that he can make spare parts for you. Before that, you wait a bit. Sandalph worked on the panel of the aseptic cabin for a while, and raised the pillow for him so that he could speak more conveniently.Lucio seemed to be more tired after sleeping than if he didn't sleep: "Thank you so much. During the time I fell asleep, I tried to resonate with Lucifer through the limbs that remained in Avatar—well, although I We did find him, but the conversation didn't go well."

"Sure enough, he and Beryl are controlling it... What did you talk about? Is it convenient to talk about it now?"

"There are no meaningful topics, just some nostalgia and pleasantries. There is an inference, they seem to be waiting for some kind of opportunity. At least for the time being, they have no sign of starting Avatar, maybe you should find out if they have other accomplices .”

"Lord Lucifer seems to have found some clues. But he hasn't said what he found yet." Sandalphine pondered for a moment, then found Lucio's mobile phone and stuffed it into a sterile bag and put it into the sterile cabin: "Although it may be inconvenient to operate with only one hand, at least you can answer the phone this way."

"Hoohoo, Little Saint has become really reliable."

"You are becoming more and more unreliable. Where did you have the guts to investigate Avatar by yourself? It's fine if you don't call me. Didn't you bring people from many companies?" San Defen provoked The eyebrows reprimanded angrily.Lucio tilted his head: "Well, I have become like this. If my subordinates are there, they may not even be able to return to their bodies. This is not a matter of winning with a large number."

"Isn't it bad that you fell down? Did you tell the company?" Sandalphin looked speechless, and Lucio nodded: "Before I came, I told them that I asked you to go for treatment and let them Don't worry, just keep working. The only thing that hasn't been dealt with now is probably the messy scene. I turned up the air conditioner before I left, um... the inside is now... probably completely frozen, right?"

"All...you..."

"Haha, I'm sorry~"

But seeing that he was still in the mood to joke, Sandalphin was relieved of the next thing.After that, it should be handed over to ordinary medical staff. He can just go to the detention room.But Lucio took the initiative instead: "Xiaosheng, if you have a strange dream and you can't find yourself, just think about your most important things. That way at least you won't get lost completely."

"……what?"

"It's just a suggestion. I hope you don't need this suggestion. Do you have other things to do? That's all I have to say. Sorry, it didn't turn out to be much useful information."

"..." Sandalphin was silent for a moment, and lowered the pillow for him again: "Thank you, you can continue to rest. I will call the doctor."

When Sandalphin was wearing a raincoat and came to the vicinity of the detention room from the small path, he unexpectedly met Asachel face to face.

After they stared at each other for a few seconds, Asachel ran away, and San Defen rushed out and threw him down and pressed him to the ground: "Hey! Asachel! Are you crazy? ! Surveillance is everywhere here, and you just ran out without thinking?!"

"Get out of the way! It's better than being imprisoned to death in this kind of detention center! Anyway, it's meaningless now! Where is death is not death!" Asachel struggled desperately, Sandalphin really couldn't hold back Wait, this guy's strength is really outrageous, and it's really slippery because of the rainy day.He had to hold Asaker's head and press the other's face into the puddle: "Don't be kidding! The neck ring is still on your neck, if you are seen by anyone else, you will only die, you Do you think this way of dying is beautiful?!"

"What else?! Is it the same as my compatriots? Was forgotten in that detention room, and then died of inexplicable weakness?! What about Lucifer? Didn't he say that he would come for interrogation? One day after another It's over, what about others!"

Sun Defen was a little confused, but he calmed down quickly, and said to Asachel: "He can't open his hands. Beryl caught it. You can imagine how many things he has to deal with. So he asked me to come If I ask you, I will ask you first, are you willing to die in front of that liar Belial?"

"Beylier was caught?" Asachel was also taken aback for a moment, then calmed down and looked back.Sandalphin nodded: "Well, it happened yesterday, Lord Lucifer was not in Canaan at all before that. He still takes your affairs seriously enough, so stop making trouble and go back quickly."

"Since you caught that bastard, why didn't you come here? Isn't the interrogation room here!"

"I don't know the details, but I can explain what I know to you. If you continue to make trouble and attract the attention of the guards, I will not be able to save you." Sandalphin tried to let go, Asa Shell threw him away immediately, got up soaked, and stared at him very unfriendlyly.Sandalphin looked around, and there seemed to be fewer guards around here than usual, and they should have been transferred to do other things.And there was a large hole in the ventilation pipe on the rear wall of the detention center, and Asachel probably escaped from here.It's probably not realistic to let him crawl back now, and it looks like the guy is going to go into a rage right away.After thinking for a moment, Sandalphin said: "No matter what, there is no loss in chatting, right? You wait here, I will not detain you back, but I do have the need to interrogate you."

"Why should I listen to you? You lied to us yesterday." Asachel gritted his teeth, Sandalph took out his mobile phone and threw it to him: "Then you take this first, the first one in the address book is Lucifer Lord Er, you can contact him at any time if you feel something is wrong. But wait, I will find a raincoat, and let’s find a place that can keep out the rain and start talking."

Asachel raised his hand to catch the phone, his eyes wandered around the phone and Sandalphin for a moment, he seemed to accept the suggestion, and turned his head away in silence.San Defen accepted his acquiescence, and quickly entered the detention center and showed the ID that Lucifer had given him before.After borrowing a pair of handcuffs and a raincoat, he returned to the vicinity of Asachel: "If you don't mind, take a detour to my house. The residential area is empty now, and there are no surveillance cameras. It is very difficult for you." Ideal environment, right?"

"Anywhere is fine. We are getting impatient waiting for an explanation. If this continues, I can't guarantee how long I can endure."

Because of the cover of the raincoat, Asachel was not questioned along the way, and followed Sandalphin to the house smoothly.He was standing wet in the entrance, and Sandalphin found a towel for him: "There is nothing to entertain you, just let it go. Let's talk directly after changing clothes. I am a little concerned about the weak death you mentioned just now .What does that mean? Is anyone dead in the detention center?"

"Why are you pretending to be stupid? How much of this type of drug Canaan needs? Now we still wear this kind of neck ring, and you are the one who injects the drug?"

Sandalphin frowned: "What I'm asking is, has anyone died?"

"It's dead!" Asachel threw the towel on the shoe cabinet angrily: "More than a dozen people have died overnight! If you want to communicate, this is your answer, isn't it!"

Why.How could it be dead?Did something happen last night?Sandalphin was in shock and couldn't recover for a while.Questions quickly filled his mind.
