The air still seemed to carry the lingering scent of her words—a false sense of "justice" and the tragic grandeur of "sacrifice."
She gazed at Su Chen with unwavering confidence, like an actor awaiting the final reward, anticipating his expected and readily accepted answer.
In her view, she had already offered enough sincerity and leverage that was irresistible.
That genuine, powerful, high-grade "Triceratops" memory is the best proof of all this.
There was no reason for the young president of the company, Su Chen, to refuse such a dream collaboration that could be described as a win-win situation.
A brief, somewhat suffocating silence fell over the office.
Only the central air conditioning system was still emitting a slight, continuous whirring sound.
The smile on Su Chen's face gradually faded away.
He slowly extended his hand.
The slender fingertips gently touched the "Triceratops" memory that exuded a cold, metallic feel.
A fleeting, almost imperceptible look of relief flashed deep in Kujo Aya's eyes.
He's going to accept it.
Her plan succeeded.
However, Su Chen's next move completely surprised her and shattered all her illusions.
He used only two fingers to elegantly and casually pinch one end of the memory chip.
Then, with a gentle yet undeniably firm movement, it was slowly pushed back.
The memory chip that carried all her hopes and calculations slid silently a short distance across the smooth, mirror-like surface.
Finally, it stopped precisely in front of Kujo Aya.
The confident, triumphant smile on Kujo Aya's face froze instantly.
The shock, confusion, and a hint of panic at the exposure of her scheme spread like a spider web across her once delicate face.
She didn't understand at all.
This was completely different from the script she had envisioned, and from the countless possibilities that Sonozaki-sama had deduced.
President Su Chen, why did you do such a thing?
Under the gaze of the other party, filled with extreme shock and intense bewilderment.
Su Chen revealed his signature gentle smile again, his tone calm yet carrying an undeniable, steely decisiveness.
He clearly gave his own, and only, final answer.
“Thank you very much for your trust, Officer Kujo.”
His voice was clear and gentle, like a spring breeze, yet it carried a chilling coldness.
"The blueprint for the future that you described sounds very appealing, full of endless possibilities."
"but……"
Su Chen paused here deliberately, for a meaningful moment.
These two words, like two invisible hammers, slammed heavily into Kujo Aya's heart, causing her to sink and catch her breath.
"From its inception, Zero One Technology has been accustomed to working alone and relying on its own strength to solve all problems."
"Therefore, I think we don't need to waste any more time discussing cooperation further."
Chapter 57 Enraged! The Judgment of the Shining Locusts
Su Chen's nonchalant refusal was like the eternal ice of the Arctic, instantly pouring down and completely freezing and shattering all the pretense and meticulous calculations burning in Kujo Aya's heart.
Her face, that meticulously crafted expression brimming with a sense of justice and mission, and that of a capable and shrewd individual, cracked like glass struck by a heavy hammer.
First it solidifies.
Immediately, from beneath that crack, an uncontrollable, extreme rage and shame at the complete exposure of a scheme, mixed with the fury of being fooled, surged forth.
She had no idea.
His acting skills were enough to earn him the highest honors in any spy blockbuster.
And then there's that powerful bait, the genuine "Triceratops" memory that would make any power drool.
Surprisingly, this resulted in such a decisive and swift rejection, leaving no room for negotiation.
This is a ruthless trampling on her intelligence and professional competence.
"Su Chen!"
In an instant, her address changed from "President Su Chen," which carried a hint of awe and distance, to a direct address filled with murderous intent.
The voice, due to the extreme emotional fluctuations, became sharp and piercing, like the cry of a night owl crying blood.
Every word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth, carrying intense resentment and malice.
"what do you mean?"
She questioned him sharply, her body trembling slightly with anger, her eyes burning with fury as if she wanted to devour Su Chen.
"Don't you want to eradicate this huge cancer that is entrenched in Fengdu and poisoning the lives of its inhabitants?!"
"Don't you want the people of Fengdu to break free from their shadows and regain true peace and freedom?!"
"Your actions are an act of defiance against justice in the entire city of Fengdu! You are betraying all those who yearn for the light!"
Even now, she still hasn't given up. She's still futilely trying to use her already exposed "righteous" pretext to put final pressure on Su Chen and try to reverse this desperate situation.
"Do not."
Su Chen's smile remained gentle, even carrying a faint expression that could almost be described as "pity".
However, to Aya Kujo's bloodshot eyes, that smile was filled with naked, maddening mockery and ridicule.
It was as if they were mocking her overestimating her abilities, mocking her foolishness and ridiculousness.
"I'm simply not interested in you, this self-proclaimed 'partner of justice'."
Su Chen's voice was calm and even, yet it was like an invisible hammer that slammed into Kujo Aya's last psychological defenses.
These words were like the last spark that ignited a powder keg, completely igniting all the anger, resentment, and despair that had been building up in Kujo Aya's heart.
She knows!
She understood it completely!
From the very beginning, his true identity was probably already completely exposed!
The man in front of her, from beginning to end, seemed to be watching a clown, enjoying her clumsy and pathetic performance!
Since pretending is no longer meaningful.
Since all avenues of retreat have been blocked.
So, there's only one path left!
A bloody path to wash away shame and complete the mission through violence and destruction!
"Since you refuse a polite toast and insist on drinking the penalty cup, then don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Her voice was distorted with extreme anger, filled with hysterical madness.
"You asked for it, Su Chen!"
Before she could finish speaking, she suddenly let out a piercing scream, like a wounded female leopard.
That well-maintained hand, which should have been elegantly holding a gun, now gripped the cold "Triceratops" memory chip on the table with a resolute determination to destroy everything.
Without the slightest hesitation.
With a ferocious, almost self-destructive attitude, she fiercely and resolutely pierced the memory, filled with the aura of ancient times, into the biological port pre-set in her body to connect to the Gaia memory!
【Triceratops!】
A deep, wild electronic sound, like the roar of an ancient behemoth, suddenly exploded!
A terrifying energy, filled with primal destructive desires, surged forth from the memory like a burst dam, instantly engulfing and devouring her body!
Her body began to undergo violent, inhuman changes at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The bones emitted a cracking sound as they were unable to bear the strain, and the muscle fibers twisted and swelled wildly.
The skin surface was quickly covered with a layer of hard, gray keratin that shimmered with a cold metallic light, like the shell of a prehistoric behemoth.
Her head, in a ferocious posture, suddenly sprouted three sharp, massive horns that exuded explosive power and gleamed with a chilling light!
Especially the main horn in the center of his forehead, thick and ferocious, seemed capable of easily piercing through the strongest alloy armor!
In just a few breaths.
A powerful monster, far larger than a human and exuding a suffocating sense of oppression, filled with a primitive, savage, and extremely violent destructive aura—the Triceratops hybrid—replaced Aya Kujo and appeared menacingly in the president's office at Zero One Technology, a place that symbolized the future and high technology!
A dense, almost tangible aura of ferocity emanated from it, making the air in the entire office thick and oppressive.
Its scarlet compound eyes were fixed intently on Su Chen.
It needs to be here.
At the very heart of Su Chen's technological empire.
In the most primitive, barbaric, and direct way, we will forcibly tear this man, who has repeatedly thwarted the "museum's" grand plan and caused the organization enormous losses, to utterly destroy him and eliminate him completely!
Use his blood to wash away the shame of his mission failure!
However, they were faced with this sudden, ferocious enemy, brimming with destructive power.
Su Chen's face showed not a trace of surprise or panic.
He seemed to have anticipated this.
Even deeper in his eyes, there was a subtle, almost imperceptible, playful glint, as if he had been waiting for this moment for a long time.
He calmly and gracefully, like a magician, took out a special upgrade key from the pocket of his well-tailored suit. The key shone with a dazzling light, as bright as a newborn star.
That light was pure and sacred, as if it contained the ultimate secret of evolution.
"the first time."
