Chapter 242: Chapter 136: Is the Torch Going to Extinguish the Star?

"I don’t know what your purpose is in coming here, or if there’s any way I can help?" Li Ming asked tentatively.

Caroline smiled meaningfully, "Of course, there’s a way you can help."

It was then that Li Ming sensed someone else approaching, dressed in not-so-high-end combat attire, who whispered, "Angel Envoy, it has been handled."

Li Ming’s expression slightly hardened. Had this person taken control of the entire laboratory?

Caroline smiled lightly, "The two of you, come with me. Cooperate, and I don’t want to make this ugly."

Li Ming was pondering internally, what exactly did this person want him to do?

Given the opponent’s condition, they seemed to be severely injured. If he used "Night Pursuer," he could definitely run, but it was uncertain whether he could win in a fight.

Feder was also considering various methods, but a conflict with the opponent right now wasn’t a wise choice.

Each harboring their own schemes, they silently followed her.

Exiting the small laboratory, Li Ming added, "Those staff members in the laboratory, they..."

"We Torch, do not like to kill innocent people." Caroline explained lightly.

"Truly a principled resistance organization." Li Ming praised, Feder glanced at him.

Returning to the vicinity of the main laboratory, he immediately saw Luo Chuan bound and knelt on the ground.

"Li Ming!" Luo Chuan, upon seeing Li Ming, couldn’t help but straighten up but was pressed down again.

"Take Luo Chuan with us. Let’s go." Caroline ordered, and Luo Chuan was also taken along, turning left and right, surprisingly arriving in front of Wu Yanqing’s underground laboratory.

Li Ming’s eyes flickered. Was Torch’s purpose here?

"Open it," Caroline directed Luo Chuan.

Luo Chuan then sneered, "Aren’t you a Type-B Life Form, can’t you break in?"

"Stop wasting time. For every second you delay, one more person dies, including your junior." Caroline threatened directly.

Luo Chuan was silent, indifferently saying, "Bring me my smart terminal."

Caroline signaled, and someone delivered it. Luo Chuan took it, went forward, and lowered his head to fiddle with it for a while.

Then suddenly, he turned. The gene inhibitor on his body unexpectedly fell off, the room’s temperature rapidly rose, and lava-like patterns appeared on his cheeks, whipping up a fiery wind and attacking Caroline.

Bang!

"Seeking death!" Caroline sneered, merely raising her hand. A flow of water appeared, and by the time the figure reached her, it was already bound and unable to move. Luo Chuan’s fierce expression was clearly visible.

He also immediately coughed up a mouthful of fresh blood, but it was clear it wasn’t due to Luo Chuan’s injury.

"Wait!" Li Ming’s expression changed slightly, he shouted sharply.

"Spare his life!" Li Ming said gravely.

Caroline smiled lightly, "Why should I?"

"Because..." Li Ming’s eyes flickered slightly: "if you kill him, I will commit suicide."

Suicide?

Feder, who had been silent until then, now looked incredulous, using his own life to threaten an enemy? Was this some kind of joke?

Caroline’s expression hardened, but then she heard Li Ming continue, "I know you think you can stop me, but you wouldn’t think I mean slitting my own throat, would you?"

"Do you know what a biological virus is? Are you sure you can save me from it?"

"To take ten thousand steps back, even if you could save me, why risk it? Just spare his life, and I’ll cooperate with you."

Caroline’s vertical pupils dilated slightly, and then she suddenly clenched her fist.

Bang!

Luo Chuan’s limbs exploded, blood spattered, his features distorted, and he screamed in agony as his wounds were quickly sealed by the glowing red magma substance; his eyes rolled back, and he fainted.

Luo Chuan was thrown into a corner, and Caroline’s voice was ice-cold: "You’re quite smart."

"Your protective intent was too obvious just now," Li Ming commented.

From this incident, it had been confirmed that she wanted him alive, not dead.

But this wasn’t good news because he still couldn’t discern her purpose, making it hard to decide whether to run or fight next.

"Wait, you mean to..." Feder seemed to have realized something suddenly, his eyes widened, pointing at Li Ming, "You plan to sacrifice him!?"

Sacrifice? Li Ming hurriedly looked at Feder.

"Level 16 developmental potential, maybe some Dimensional Creatures would be very interested." Feder’s throat moved, "You... all, what exactly do you want to do?"

Sacrifice to Dimensional Creatures? Li Ming was astonished. freēnovelkiss.com

"After all, being the son of Prince Bai Jiang, you indeed know quite a bit more." Caroline wasn’t flustered by having her plan exposed, she said coolly: "Superpower Istanbul, the powerful beings that slumber in the deep-level dimensions."

"Items loved by Dimensional Creatures are mysterious and varied; some like minerals, others like fresh blood..."

"Wait, the black metal Chen Yan had me smuggle..." Li Ming suddenly interrupted, deliberately mentioning it.

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a flash of red lightning across Caroline’s half-charred body, and then she spit out a mouthful of fresh blood.

Caroline’s expression was dark, and anger rose in her heart again; she still didn’t understand what exactly had happened.

Even though the materials had been sufficient and they had experience sacrificing multiple times before, this time had somehow gone awry.

"The black metal, Dark Magnetic Titanium?" Feder was surprised, "Thunder Hormuz? That’s the Dimensional Creature that Torch often sacrifices to, allowing them to receive blessings and enhance their strength over a large area..."

"But you failed this time? The cost of failure is equally severe. The power of Thunder Hormuz will cling to you until you leave this region."

"Shut up!" Caroline harshly rebuked, staring coldly at Feder, "Your knowledge about Torch is indeed thorough. However, unfortunately, you probably don’t know how terrifying Superpower Istanbul can be."

"He only likes life forms with strong life potential. After pleasing him, he will leave behind the most joyful power."
