869: Chapter 841: House of Machinery!

The attacker’s speed was extrely fast, but unfortunately, no matter how fast, they couldn’t outpace Li Chen.

So, after so thought, the attacker decided to distance themselves from the others, engaging in a one-on-one duel with Li Chen.

Clearly, in the attacker’s mind, compared to being besieged by a group, a one-on-one with Li Chen seed like a better choice.

Of course, this was also an act of desperation, if it were possible, the attacker really didn’t want to duel with such an unfathomable character.

“As expected, just like what the Nether Princess said, this speed…

quite astonishing,” Li Chen remarked with a hint of surprise, watching the attacker swiftly change direction and charge towards him.

Li Chen raised his hand to et the attacker’s punch, casually swatting with a palm strike.

“Bang!!”

A muffled sound exploded between the clash of their fist and palm.

Li Chen stood unmoved, while the attacker was rapidly knocked back.

“As for strength, the gap is too big…

chances of winning… not high,” the attacker mused, head lowered, reevaluating the situation.

But in the next mont, the attacker moved again, running circles around Li Chen with incredible speed.

Even Li Chen was sowhat taken aback by the speed.

“Indeed, the speed isn’t bad.” Initially, Li Chen didn’t feel much from a distance, but it was not until now that he realised the attacker had a rather small stature.

“Ninja?” Li Chen frowned slightly, but then shook his head: “No, a ninja doesn’t possess such strength.”

“Moreover, ninjas are more adept at utilizing tools, while this person hasn’t used any from the start.

All they’ve employed are the most basic assassination thods.”

Despite this, even Li Chen had to admit that even the most common assassination techniques could beco the most formidable weapons of killing in the hands of a master.

In the end, everything is linked to strength.

Just like him now.

“Thud!!”

Blocking the attacker’s strike, Li Chen swiftly lifted his leg, kicking the person in the abdon and sending them flying with a kick.

At the sa ti, it was Li Chen’s first offence.

His figure flashed as he rushed straight towards the still airborne attacker.

Seeing that the other party still wanted to resist, Li Chen twisted his arm, gripping the opponent’s neck in his hand and lightly tapped on the mask with one finger.

“Crack!”

Instantly, the laughing and weeping clown mask shattered.

However, the face revealed inside startled Li Chen.

“Lilith?!

How could it be you?”

Li Chen looked at the girl he was holding in disbelief.

This girl was the sa one he had saved from a few hooligans before.

But even Li Chen had not realized that this girl possessed such strength, and moreover, that she was the one attempting to assassinate Catherine and the others.

Lilith remained silent.

Li Chen fell silent as well.

Releasing his grip, his expression changing subtly as he looked at the girl in front of him.

He dared to let go because he was absolutely confident that in his presence, she couldn’t escape.

Similarly, he was eager to find out what was going on and exactly who Lilith was!

It’s undeniable that even Li Chen couldn’t sense any True Qi fluctuation coming from Lilith’s body.

Yet, her power was formidable to a shocking extent.

Even the likes of the Nether Princess would be no match for Lilith; Li Chen was indeed curious about who Lilith really was and why she was so strong.

“Who in the world are you?” Li Chen asked calmly, standing in front of Lilith.

“My na is… Lilith, from the darkness… Lilith,” Lilith finally spoke up, her voice trembling slightly as if realizing sothing.

Li Chen nodded; at least she hadn’t lied to him about her na.

“So, what are you doing here?”

“I…

can’t say,” Lilith’s voice hesitated, and she stopped midway.

“My purpose in life is to complete my mission.

Now that I have failed, there’s no value in my existence anymore,” Lilith shook her head, saying this, she stretched out her hand and pointed towards her own temple.

“Stop!”

Seeing Lilith’s actions, Li Chen’s face changed drastically, almost instantly moving in front of her, grabbing her hand.

However, Li Chen quickly realised that the hand he was holding was ice cold, devoid of any warmth, almost as if…

a dead person’s.

“Your hand?”

Li Chen frowned as he looked towards Lilith.

“Funny, isn’t it?” A sorrowful smile appeared on the sowhat dazed face of Lilith, and then with a gentle rub of two fingers, a layer of skin peeled away from her fingertips.

However, what was revealed inside was a tallic skeleton.

“Over a third of my body has been completely transford into tal.

Now, I resemble a robot more than a human,” Lilith said.

“It was the organization that gave the chance to be reborn, and my mission is to prevent the completion of tasks.”

“What nonsense are you talking about?!” Li Chen couldn’t help but shout when he heard Lilith’s words.

Hearing Li Chen’s shout, Lilith was startled for a mont, then she turned to look at him.

“Everyone’s life belongs to themselves.

Only they have the right to decide their own life or death, not soone else!

Your damn organization transford your body like this, and you’re thanking them?” Li Chen suddenly beca sowhat furious.

Because, he faintly recalled what kind of people were in that organization.

“Your body was originally intact, right?

Now it’s changed to this.

You’ve gained power, but have you ever thought about what you have lost?

That damn organization is just creating weapons for their own desires.

And you, you’re just one of their weapons!

Rebirth?

To hell with rebirth!”

“You…” Lilith, who was already a bit of a natural airhead, beca even more stunned as she looked blankly at Li Chen.

She was originally just a lonely and helpless orphan, taken in by the organization, which then used her for research, granting her the power she has now.

One could say that if not for the organization, she might have starved to death on the streets a long ti ago.

But even she didn’t know how to judge the transformation of her own body.

The organization had always told her that such transformation was a new life, a rebirth.

But, she felt, it was truly painful.

Not just physically, but even emotionally, Lilith felt as if parts of her body were gradually disappearing.

This double tornt almost made her collapse.

However, the people of the organization told her that this transformation was inevitable, and it was part of the rebirth.

So, she accepted it.

In that dark laboratory, she allowed her body to be transford into machinery, bit by bit, replacing her flesh.

Her mind was also filled with knowledge imparted by the organization.

It was the organization that gave her the chance to live, and she, in return, had to repay the organization with her life.

But for so reason, Lilith always felt sothing was not right.

Why has she never truly felt joy or gratitude from the bottom of her heart.

Usually, in the organization, she always appeared dazed.

People in the organization just thought it was because her body was too modified, so she lost the ability to feel emotions.

What those people didn’t know was that Lilith had always been contemplating.

Contemplating what happiness truly was.

She often read about this word ‘happiness’ in books, but she never felt, truly felt, what happiness ant.

Until that ti when Li Chen fought off a few thugs and took her to eat, and for so reason, Lilith suddenly felt like laughing.

It was this sudden surge of emotion that made her rush away in haste.

She didn’t know how to face this feeling, because she had never felt such an emotion before, and that’s why she was scared.

Looking at Lilith, whose eyes revealed a sense of helplessness, pity arose on Li Chen’s face.

Having learned of her origins, Li Chen roughly understood what this girl was all about.

“House of Machinery?

I didn’t expect you guys to have combined biological weapons with machinery, and to this extent!” Li Chen’s gaze beca slightly colder.

This House of Machinery had been an archenemy of the Palace of the Nether King ever since Li Chen’s ti in Arica.

Although the House of Machinery had considerable strength, it couldn’t compete with the Palace of the Nether King in terms of absolute top-level power.

After Li Chen personally led people to destroy several of their secret bases, they completely went into hiding.

Unexpectedly, after so much ti, the organization had resurfaced.

And their first move was a killer move like Lilith.

The people of the House of Machinery had two developntal directions.

One was absolute loyalty, the brainwashed assassins.

The other was…

robots!

Of course, the House of Machinery’s ‘robots’ weren’t just restricted to ‘human’ alone.

To them, the most effective thod was the best one, and the so-called ‘robots’ also included any other machinery that was convenient for slaughter.

“Is it because your body was gradually chanized that the brainwashing didn’t succeed?” Li Chen looked at Lilith with so sympathy.

“To live for oneself…” Lilith lowered her head: “Without the organization, I don’t know how to continue to survive.”

Li Chen spoke: “You have to believe that you are a person, not just a weapon!

If you want to survive on your own, the first thing you need to understand is that you…

are you!”

A smile suddenly appeared on Li Chen’s face, and he reached out a hand to gently pat Lilith’s head: “How about you learn from for a while first?”
