Chapter 241 Chaos is Coming
Soon after, Horn left the hospital, but due to the influence of Siever Bliss's spirit, he often experienced hallucinations and memory confusion, unable to distinguish who he was.
That day, in a daze, he arrived at Ant Street, a place where Severus Briss often frequented. This was a gathering place for most people who were unwilling to accept the implantation of smart chips, and also a place where ASH could not monitor everyone in real time.
All sorts of criminals and shady businesses operate here.
It is a lawless place filled with desire and indulgence.
"Boss, I have some new stuff here, wanna try it? Guaranteed to be awesome!"
"Two servings, two servings, please!"
"Come on, beautiful lady!"
Above the neon-lit street is a golden "God of Wealth" wearing sunglasses.
A scantily clad woman was soliciting business nearby. Seeing Horn approach, she said, "Hey handsome, why don't you come check out our new shop? We have tons of beautiful women~ Scan the code to choose, we guarantee you'll be satisfied!"
A figure in a trench coat walked over and said, "We have new stock, want to take a look?"
"Hey? This handsome guy..."
Horn walked past the two without reacting at all.
Soon after, when Horn came to his senses, he arrived at the entrance of a bar, where he was mistaken for someone else by a friend of Severn and pulled inside.
Inside the bar, a group of second-generation rich kids were having fun, one of whom was Glenn, Gray Weaver's only son.
It was Severus Brice who brutally murdered Glenn's mother in front of him when he was young...
Horn was unaware of all this, and Gran witnessed it. Chaos erupted; initially, Horn was in control of his body, but the enraged Gran nearly killed him, and the scene descended into chaos.
But at a certain moment, Severus's soul awakened, and the scene turned into a massacre. All 78 people perished at his hands.
The flames on the birthday cake flickered gently; today also happened to be Glen's birthday...
Shortly after, the joint police department arrived at the scene and cordoned it off.
Gray also arrived at the scene. When he saw that the supposedly dead Severus was the murderer, he completely lost control, raised his prosthetic right arm, and a surge of energy converged!
Boom! !
Bai Jingyu arrived at the scene with the intelligent guards, stopped Gray's actions, and forcibly took Horn away, who had regained consciousness.
Gray could no longer suppress the hatred in his heart. Bright red blood flowed from the prosthetic eye in his left eye as he stared intently at Bai Jingyu's departing figure.
However, at that moment, all the projection equipment on site turned on automatically and played the entire process of Bai Yuekui helping Horn and Sief complete the brain transplant surgery!
Horn's ramblings and attempts to dissuade him were cut out; only the complete brain transplant surgery process was shown, which was extremely bloody and bizarre.
This dealt Gray another blow. "So that's how it is... Hmph... Hmph... Hahahahahaha!!!"
"Chief Gray..."
The deputy standing nearby, worried that Gray was having a mental breakdown, tried to warn him, but Gray's maniacal laughter abruptly stopped. He stared intently at Bai Jingyu and shouted, "Bai Jingyu, your daughter conspired to resurrect my enemy! Are you fucking playing me?!"
boom!
He raised his hand and unleashed a terrifying orange energy beam towards Bai Jingyu, but it was blocked by a mechanical guard who stepped forward and damaged both of the guard's arms. Gray rushed forward and grabbed Bai Jingyu by the neck, roaring angrily, "I only killed a beast, and your whole family are no good! Why wasn't it you who died?!"
Bai Jingyu's expression remained unchanged; he simply said, "Everything I've done is for Jiuchuan City, and even... all of humanity."
At that moment, all the mechanical guards on site raised their hands, and a beam of red light shot towards Gray. "Hostile behavior detected. Protected target under threat. Chief of the Federal Police Bureau, Gray Weaver, your behavior has violated the 'Administrative VIP Security Regulations.' Given your special status, you will be given 20 seconds to consider. If you do not cease your dangerous behavior, we will execute a Level 1 defensive strike."
"Director, please calm down! That's Mayor Bai!"
"Injuring a high-ranking government official can result in a 30-year prison sentence, and your future will be ruined!"
Gray was nearly out of his mind at this point, and he shouted angrily, "I have nothing left, why should I care about the future!"
click!
None of the surrounding officers dared to step forward, except for the deputy who suddenly raised his gun and stepped forward, saying in a deep voice, "The 'AI Participation in Law Enforcement Act' has not yet been passed. Unauthorized use of AI police to interfere with law enforcement violates the alliance's regulations! Mayor Bai, your career may have come to an end here."
Dead silence...
The place was eerily quiet.
"Live ammunition loaded. Carbon-based biological protection restrictions lifted. Increase in threat personnel detected. Prepare for strike. 10, 9, 8... 7..."
The deputy standing beside him stood firm, saying only, "Director Gray, it is an honor for me, Bazel, to work with you!"
Gray's face was grim, but his rationality gradually returned. He understood that even if he killed Bai Jingyu today, it wouldn't be considered true revenge.
They threw Bai Jingyu out of the way, and the mechanical guards behind him caught him.
"Cough cough..."
"The threat has been eliminated; cease operations."
Bai Jingyu straightened his clothes and said, "Director Gray's excessive behavior towards me today was just a momentary impulse and will not be recorded in the performance evaluation file of political figures."
Bai Jingyu then looked at Gray and said, "Gray, one day you will understand what I mean. I will give you an explanation for this matter."
Immediately, Bai Jingyu turned and left, and the mechanical guards behind him took Horn away.
Gray stood still, not moving, until Bai Jingyu's footsteps disappeared.
……
Hisakawa City Central Skyrail Station.
"The train is about to arrive at the station. Please board and alight in an orderly manner and do not crowd... Please board in an orderly manner and do not crowd..."
Bai Yuekui sat on the train, pondering the strange way Horn spoke during his surgery, a matter that concerned her greatly.
After Horn regained consciousness, he told her about the tragedy that happened years ago.
Her mother was the first person to perform a brain transplant, but that person was like Horn now, with two souls sharing one body.
Ultimately, shortly after returning home following the brain transplant, the teenager murdered his father and family with his own hands…
The boy went mad as a result, blaming everything on the brain transplant surgery. He then kidnapped Bai Yuekui's mother and caused the explosion.
Bai Yuekui was shocked by this, but neither he nor his sister took it too seriously.
Although Bai Yuetian knew that Severus and Gray had a grudge, he had not seriously studied what Severus had done. Otherwise, after learning the truth about his mother's death, he probably wouldn't have felt comfortable letting Horn's brain enter the other's body.
Before long, all the video screens in Jiuchuan City began playing footage of Bai Yuekui completing his brain transplant surgery.
"Brain transplant surgery?"
Why is everyone outside broadcasting the same thing?
"!!!"
"Holy crap! What are these? Why are there so many of these?"
"Ugh... How disgusting, they cut your brain open!"
"Is this a real brain transplant? That's amazing!"
"Is that the promotional CG for 'Ecological Crisis 9'? It's so realistic!"
Various projections completely covered the entire city of Jiuchuan with information, and the incident began to escalate rapidly.
"It's this woman! She was the one in Pandora Plaza who clamored to perform blasphemous sorcery on people! She's the one who opened Pandora's Box!"
Chaos is coming.
"How terrifying... They actually dug out a person's brain, and... replaced it?!"
So, is there any hope for people in a vegetative state?
"He's absolutely insane!"
"Was this hacked? Why are there so many of these things outside?"
"Are they really crazy? To actually perform such a surgery?"
"This surgery will definitely have a groundbreaking and enormous impact on humanity. The person who can perform such a complex surgery must be a genius!"
There were various conflicting accounts. Bai Yuekui, who was inside the train, noticed the discussions among the crowd and quickly covered his face with the hood of his clothes before walking to the train door.
Nervously hiding in a corner, he asked, "ASH! Didn't I tell you to turn off automatic upload? Where did the video come from?"
However, the ASH terminal she carried with her gave the answer: "Automatic upload function was confirmed to be turned off during the surgery, and the network address of the source of the video leak is being searched."
