Chapter 799: Finding a Way to Kill Oneself
“Souls…?” Kihara Pathology seemed a bit lost in thought. “Do they really exist—so-called souls?”
“Souls certainly exist! I am not human, and this body…” The clone lowered his head to look at his own body. “Even if it is destroyed, I will not die like a human. So, I believe that the only way to achieve complete death is to destroy the soul.”
Kihara Pathology did not dwell on it but nodded and said, “In short, it’s the wish to kill you, right?”
“I want complete death,” the clone emphasized.
“What a pity, such an interesting creation,” Kihara Pathology lamented. “I never expected there to be someone outside of Our Kihara so terrifyingly persistent, creating an existence like you.”
“But it doesn’t matter,” Kihara Pathology then said, “You just want to die, and there’s nothing simpler than that.”
“Are you sure?” the clone questioned.
If he could “commit suicide” like a normal human, the clone wouldn’t be so distressed, nor would he place his hopes on the mad scientists of the Kihara.
“Don’t worry,” Kihara Pathology revealed an unprecedentedly sweet smile. “I am Kihara Pathology, an expert in ‘giving up.’ Your wish, in the end, is merely to ‘give up life,’ and I can help you achieve it.”
“How?” the clone asked.
Kihara Pathology did not answer directly but stated her condition: “Now it’s my turn—a fair trade.”
The clone frowned in a very human way, his facial expression extremely rich, almost indistinguishable from a normal human.
“Tell me.”
“Go and kill Lin Wuming.”
A more complex expression appeared on the clone’s face: “Lin Wuming, that Level 5, ‘Incomplete Telekinesis’? The legendary hero, Nameless Board Member?”
By the end, the clone even had an expression that seemed to say, “Are you playing with me?”
“What, can’t you do it?”
“You should know the strength of a Level 5 better than I do.”
“Isn’t this perfect?” Kihara Pathology said. “Lin Wuming is strong enough; perhaps during the battle, he can help you achieve your wish.”
The clone sneered: “This assumption is meaningless. I am a modified human, not a combat robot. You shouldn’t have expectations for my combat power.”
“Even without calculation, a conclusion can be reached,” the clone continued. “I cannot kill Lin Wuming; and Lin Wuming, while perhaps easily able to destroy this body, also cannot truly kill me.”
“Don’t worry about combat power; you have infinite possibilities,” Kihara Pathology said. “I will help you raise your combat power to Level 5. Believe me, for the Kihara, this is not difficult.”
“As for killing Lin Wuming…” Kihara Pathology thought for a moment and then changed her words, “You just need to do your best. We also know that Lin Wuming is very difficult to kill, so you are just one part of it. Just do your best.”
“You?” The clone tilted his head. “Are you planning to assassinate Lin Wuming?”
“It’s not an assassination, just an experiment.”
“As expected of the Kihara…” The clone shook his head.
“Are you very concerned about this experiment?” Kihara Pathology asked.
“No,” the clone said, “What you do is none of my business, as long as you can ensure you fulfill your promise.”
Kihara Pathology raised her hand and pointed to the ceiling: “This Institute regularly uploads important data to the airship server for storage. The airship’s whereabouts are unknown to anyone, and data exchange can only occur on a specific day each month. It is precisely because of the backup there that you cannot truly die.”
“You know the airship’s patrol route?” the clone asked.
“I don’t know,” Kihara Pathology shook her head, “but I have a way to delete specific information from the database.”
“Additionally,” Kihara Pathology continued, “the customized death plan I have for you can bypass Caochi Liangzi herself.”
“…” The clone was silent.
“In other words,” Kihara Pathology said, “Your main body doesn’t need to perish with you—you actually don’t want Caochi Liangzi herself to die, do you?”
“How did you know?”
“Otherwise, you wouldn’t need to cooperate with me,” Kihara Pathology said. “If you could sacrifice Caochi Liangzi herself, you could achieve your goal on your own, couldn’t you?”
With that, Kihara Pathology took out a file from the storage compartment of her wheelchair: “After you leave here, you can go to this place—I presume you don’t need my help to escape from here?”
“PinYu University Affiliated DNA Spectrum Analysis Laboratory?” The clone looked up from the document. “I remember that laboratory has been abandoned.”
“Yes, precisely because it has been abandoned, it is convenient to utilize,” Kihara Pathology nodded. “The equipment prepared for you is there. With your intelligence and the performance of your current body, you will surely be able to quickly convert it into combat power. You can look forward to it.”
Before leaving the isolation room, Kihara Pathology once again said with a sigh, “If you change your mind, please tell me anytime.”
“How could that be?” The clone sneered.
“What a pity,” Kihara Pathology shook her head and sighed.
At least this time, Kihara Pathology was genuinely regretful.
During the negotiation process, Kihara Pathology did not say a single false word.
Including the evaluation she gave—the clone was indeed an interesting and potential creation.
It should be known that Yakumi Hisako’s subordinate, Char, had made Kihara Pathology envious for a long time.
In her opinion, Caochi Liangzi’s clone, after her training, might not be inferior to Char.
However… that was ultimately not Kihara Pathology’s area of expertise, and it required a huge amount of resources, so she did not insist.
Now that the predetermined goal had been achieved, and she could even kill two birds with one stone, that was enough. One really couldn’t ask for more.
…
Early the next morning, Shokuhou Misaki hurried to Family Side.
“Senior Wuming, I’ve found it,” Shokuhou Misaki said as she sat down in her usual spot at the dining table and unceremoniously moved her portion of breakfast in front of her. “The whereabouts of that Killer Ellie.”
“No rush,” Lin Wuming walked out of the kitchen. “We’ll go find her after we finish breakfast.”
The initiative was now on his side.
Killer Ellie’s unexpected exposure had given Lin Wuming the advantage of striking first.
As long as Ellie could be captured and confirmed to be the assassin ordered to kill Lin Wuming, then what needed to be done next would be simple—follow the clues and trace them all the way to the source.
Neither Lin Wuming nor Shokuhou Misaki and the others were unfamiliar with this.
Perhaps such an operation would still ultimately fail to trace back to Kihara Gensei, that old fox, but at least it would weaken his strength and influence, which would certainly not be a bad thing.
