Yama Reborn

Chapter 643 640: The One Who Waits

When the Mother Clone said, "I've thought of a way," Chen Nuo's heart suddenly skipped a beat!

Instinctively, he felt a hint of apprehension.

Whether it was a misconception or something else, Chen Nuo always felt that this Mother Clone in front of him, who looked exactly like the Octopus Monster, seemed more dangerous than the original Octopus Monster, which was originally Kamisou Ichiro!

This person gives off a very sinister vibe!

·

The original Octopus Monster, although always on the opposing side, Chen Nuo had to admit, the original Octopus Monster, still felt somewhat elegant.

That character had always been simulating human characteristics, but before developing human emotions, at his core, he was actually extremely indifferent.

Opposing positions were just a matter of stance.

He did not harbor emotional hostility or hatred towards Chen Nuo.

So, when he did things, he always seemed to abide by certain rules.

Even... the original Octopus Monster was quite straightforward.

At least, the impression he gave was that he didn't stoop to low tricks!

But this Mother Clone in front of him... for some reason, Chen Nuo always felt that this guy's eyes appeared calm, yet seemed to hide a chilling malevolence!

·

Maybe... it's because... this Mother Clone was once infected by the Negative Emotion Virus?

Three hundred years ago, he was struck by the Sword of Killing Intent, and detoxified for three hundred years...

It's hard to say whether his recovery truly eliminated the toxins completely?

Or maybe it didn't cleanly eliminate them!

It's just that... he developed resistance?

So, he might be infected by the negative emotions of humans, and... infected for three hundred years!

That's why the Pengpeng he created is also a viper.

"I've carefully considered your situation, Mr. Chen Nuo, based on the Octopus Monster's memories."

The Mother Clone surprisingly pulled out a cigarette, lit it, took a leisurely puff, and then continued with a smile, "According to the Octopus Monster's memories, Mr. Chen Nuo, you've depended on a few conditions in your confrontations.

The first is your own strength, the top human champion—though now, this reliance naturally has vanished.

The second reliance is your wife, the Star Sky Empress Lu Xixi. But now it's 1999, even if you go looking for the Star Sky Empress, she certainly won't recognize you.

In the present 1999, those who were your allies and partners in the original timeline, none of them know you yet. You can't obtain strong support from your original connections and allies.

Of course, maybe you can, through certain encounters in this era, use your foreknowledge advantage to court and recruit some Special Ability Users as your allies…"

Upon hearing this, Chen Nuo's heart skipped.

What the Mother Clone said was exactly what he was doing by contacting the Son of the Sun!

Even… just a moment ago, he'd whispered "Ark" into Vanel's ear secretly, which was the same kind of approach.

"During the daytime, you made a phone call in that store, right? Although I don't know whom you called or what support you contacted, undoubtedly you used some kind of foreknowledge advantage to woo Special Ability Users of this era.

Let me guess... the guy named Son of the Sun? The Octopus Monster's memories showed your relationship with him was rather good. Moreover, that fellow seems quite easily swayed by you."

Chen Nuo's expression finally started to crumble a bit.

"Therefore, I took you away from that small village.

Even if the Son of the Sun indeed went to that small village looking for you, he wouldn't know your whereabouts now.

This base is far from that village. Besides, when we moved in the village, we didn't leave any numbers or identity information.

Even if the Son of the Sun wanted to find you, he would have to put in quite a bit of effort, inquiring about intel, or trying to find a way to ask the official and military forces on this land for information, and then figure out which unit was conducting military actions in the village...

Going back and forth would take at least a day or two. So, you can't rely on the Son of the Sun now.

I won't be staying here for too long... by the time he finds here, we'll already be gone."

Chen Nuo's expression started to look a bit grim.

"Besides the two conditions I mentioned above, your third reliance, which has always been your largest crutch...

Is what you call the Seed that goes by the name Seed."

The Mother Clone continued talking while shaking his head, "This fellow named Seed is the strongest among all Seeds, according to the Octopus Monster's memories, his strength is possibly even greater than my own as the Mother Clone, he has the feat of absorbing and devouring a Mother Clone."

As he spoke, the Mother Clone smiled at Chen Nuo, "And you, all along, because of your identity as Seed's Chosen One, other Seeds could not do anything to you. Because if they were to harm you materially, Seed would definitely step in to aid you."

Chen Nuo exhaled, "You're right."

"But now it's 1999, at this point in time, that fellow named Seed is still sealed and slumbering somewhere in the South America Tropical Rainforest, so you can't rely on him, right?"

Chen Nuo nodded, "Seems you're right."

"Therefore, capturing you, while simultaneously controlling you... so you cannot communicate with the outside world, unable to contact some powerful Special Ability Users you might have courted. You also no longer have other reliance.

That way, you cannot resist me."

Chen Nuo rolled his eyes.

"However, while this ensures you have no power to resist, it does not solve the paradox I mentioned—once you regain strong abilities, you'll try to kill me, and now I'm also an ordinary person without resistance. I certainly can't use the Octopus Monster's name to gather some Controllers as my bodyguards.

Moreover, I am just a fake BOSS, if I truly used the name of the Octopus Monster Company to gather some Controllers to protect me—such a level of resource mobilization would definitely invite suspicion, and would far exceed the safety line, certainly reported to the real Octopus Monster of this era.

And once you recover strength, based on your past battle performance with me, I believe your power already surpasses the strongest human Controllers; a few Controllers as fighters wouldn't suppress you."

Chen Nuo chuckled, "So what are you trying to say then?"

The Mother Clone stopped smiling, his expression turning serious as he looked at Chen Nuo—his tone was even more serious than his gaze.

"Mr. Chen Nuo, maybe you sense it, maybe you don't, but what I want to say is…

I am very bad.

I'm much worse than the Octopus Monster!"

Chen Nuo was taken aback.

The Mother Clone said coldly, "For three hundred years, I've been immersed in the toxin of your human negative emotions.

Hatred, hostility, killing intent, malice…

My consciousness has been soaking in these things for three hundred years!!

So, don't think I'll act like those Seeds who lack human emotions?

They haven't laid a dirty hand on you because the Seeds have no emotions, and naturally lack the evil of human emotions.

But I… just happen to have them!"

Chen Nuo took a deep breath.

The Mother Clone quickened his speech, coldly stating, "1999!

Your mother, Ou Xiuhua, is detained in a prison in Huaxia Jinling.

And you have a younger sister, who should be two years old now.

Oh right, in Huaxia Jinling, there's also a girl named Sun Keke?

Hmm, let me think what else...

Everyone around you has been thoroughly background checked by the Octopus Monster, and all their data and files have special records!

For example, in South Korea there's a girl named Li Yingwan?

For example, in the Neon Country, there's a girl named Xicheng Xun?

For example, in Britain, there's a girl named Nivelle?

Besides that girl named Xicheng Xun, who should be a low-level Ability User with not much power, the others I mentioned should all be ordinary people of regular strength.

Right?"

Chen Nuo's eyes turned completely cold, staring at the Mother Clone: "You're threatening me!"

The Mother Clone slowly nodded, answering in the same indifferent tone:

"Yes, I'm threatening you, Mr. Chen Nuo!

I'm using everyone around you, everyone connected to you, all your companions, to threaten you!

I'm not even sure who among them you care about the most, or if there's anyone you don't care about…

But I think, with so many people, you can't possibly not care about all of them, right?

There must be someone you care about.

But no worries! If you do not cooperate with me, my approach is to make all these people die!

Believe me, with the resources and power I can mobilize at the Octopus Monster Company... making these people die poses no difficulty at all."

Chen Nuo remained silent.

At that moment, the door opened, and the beret-wearing Jason walked in—indeed carrying a glass of cola, with ice cubes in it.

"Alright, Jason, escort our guest back to rest, find him a clean and comfortable camp bedroom with a soft and clean bed.

As for this glass of cola, let our guest take it back to the room to enjoy slowly."

The Mother Clone stood up, then looked at Chen Nuo: "Remember what I just said, have a good sleep tonight, and seriously think about my… threat!"

·

Chen Nuo was taken back to the room by Jason—exactly the one where he had previously washed and changed clothes.

Jason told Chen Nuo in a cold voice, "This room is now for your use, but you cannot leave the room, step outside!

Tomorrow morning someone will bring breakfast to you."

With that said, Jason turned around and left, closing the door—and from the sound, locking it from outside.

Two guards remained outside the door for monitoring.

Standing inside, Chen Nuo still held that glass of cola with ice cubes.

He thought for a moment, walked into the bathroom, and poured the cola into the toilet.

Given how impolite he was to Jason, he didn't dare drink the cola Jason brought.

Who knows if that guy spit in it.

However, when the room was left with only Chen Nuo, his expression was unexpectedly calm.

As if there was no trace of the earlier loss of composure while facing the Mother Clone's threats in the command room.

At this moment, his expression was not at all disturbed, but rather composed.

Chen Nuo slowly sat down on the camp bed—the sheets were indeed clean.

He laid down slowly, resting his head on his hands folded behind his head.

Chen Nuo was waiting!

And Chen Nuo's wait was not too long.

In the second half of the night, the person he was waiting for arrived.
