Chapter 627 [Chapter of the Fatal Game] Seventy-Six: Countdown to Death (Day 4)

Chen Yan has never encountered such an unsolvable problem since he came to the empire.

He had no way to save himself, or even to understand the enemy, because the enemy was everywhere - he returned to the infirmary and collected information about the William Adams Group in the online world, whether it was a precise search based on keywords or a random search.

Looking at the traces left by the William Adams Group in the online world, Chen Yan only felt "powerless".

The William Adams Group was so huge that Chen Yan could not imagine it. He did not know how such a behemoth appeared in the world in less than twenty years, even if it took advantage of the east wind of industrialization and reaped all the dividends of the steam age.

, Chen Yan could not imagine how such a large group got to where it is today——

Almost all industries in the empire - from traditional agriculture and animal husbandry to the automated agriculture and animal husbandry that emerged in the industrial era and were continuously improved with technology, from the mining and resource industries to the renewable energy industry, from the traditional service industry to the luxury goods processing industry

and high-end entertainment industry...all have their investment and operation footprints.

In addition to the industries directly operated by the group itself, they have invested in numerous emerging industries born in the industrial era. Quite a few of these industries look almost like a joke, but there are some names that sting Chen Yan's eyes - aerospace fuel extraction.

Company, controlled nuclear fission research laboratory, abandoned spacecraft recovery technology experimental workshop, Starlink...

The William Adams Group is almost everywhere.

When Chen Yan searched here, he suddenly realized that the empire did not have words or phrases dedicated to "monopoly".

The core of this huge business empire was William Adams himself, who had absolute say due to the high degree of centralization without monopoly.

After learning all about this despair, although Chen Yan felt powerless in his heart, he had no regrets——

He doesn't regret killing Leonard Adams.

But there should still be pressure.

He was always in a state of anxiety. He spent the entire afternoon reading information about the William Adams Group on the Internet, and he still had not recovered from the tremendous pressure until he went back to his cell in the evening.

At around 8 o'clock in the evening, Chen Yan returned to the smelly cell area. The entire cell area was shrouded in the body odor of hundreds of young and middle-aged men, like onions growing on dry land with a layer of foot-stinking mustard poured on them.

Chen Yan sat there crying. The fried chicken leg in front of him and the bowl of Imperial Dark Edition egg noodles cooked specially for him by the cook Uncle Sam failed to arouse his appetite at all.

The roommates in Cell No. 010 looked at the decapitated meal in front of him and knew what was about to happen to him.

Frank, who was on the upper bunk, only glanced at it and hurriedly shrank into the bed. He was afraid that Chen Yan would see the uncontrollable ecstasy on his face.

The gargoyle looked at him with pity in his eyes, but didn't say much. He had been here for a long time, and he was used to seeing people who had their heads cut off.

Klein looked at him and said nothing.

Chen Yan handed the plate to Klein, but Klein didn't refuse. He picked up the chicken leg and tore it into two pieces. He poured the noodles into his mouth and swallowed it. Then he wiped his mouth with his sleeve and said to Chen Yan:

"Do you want to live?"

Frank, who was on the upper bunk of Chen Yan, almost couldn't help but poke his head out. Since he entered the secret passage in the sewer, his desire to leave this ghost place was countless times stronger than before, and his whole person became abnormal.

The gargoyle on Klein's upper bunk was surprised that Klein dared to say such words publicly.

Chen Yan looked into Klein's eyes and replied simply:

"think."

Klein said:

"You can live, but you can't live completely. You've provoked too powerful a guy this time. You can't do it as a human, you have to be a ghost."

Chen Yan chuckled:

"The reason why I am in so much pain now is because I want to be a human being."

Klein said:

"Mr. Yan, I have told you since you came to Walker Street that this world is not yours to decide. Those naive ideas will only lead to your destruction in the future - just like what you suffered today."

Chen Yan said nothing.

Klein's tone was always calm:

"You think that your own methods can help you get out of your current predicament. You think that your worst methods can help you escape, or at least escape from this society."

Chen Yan indeed thought so. Even if he relied on Ogami's knife, he would at least not die.

"You may have misunderstood the force of the extraordinary society in Yanan City."

Klein explained patiently that he now has enough time.

"The current situation in Yanam City is no longer the ancient era when one could participate in the power struggle with a saw and a musket.

Nowadays, Yanan City has more advanced technology, has more awakened supernatural beings, and even has the power to kill gods...

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not talking about the kind of method that requires fighting the gods to the death, I’m talking about the extraordinary technology that can carry out targeted attacks on the gods and completely destroy them from the physical to the spiritual level before the resistance has begun.”

The words used by Klein are so oppressive that anyone who is in the situation can't breathe.

But Chen Yan found that he actually calmed down under such great pressure.

“People become human through technology, become more than human because of technology, and cease to be human because of technology.”

Klein slowly told what he saw.

"Have you ever thought that the people in the Adams family you provoked, those who possess the so-called [violent spirits], have transcended human beings and are no longer human."

"You'll find out soon enough."

After Klein finished speaking, he fell silent.

Chen Yan understood the meaning of his words and was immediately surprised.

Klein may be telling him that the person with the [Rage Spirit] may come to him soon!

But Klein's words were too vague, and Chen Yan couldn't be completely sure of what he meant.

What's more, what Klein revealed is illogical - since he will be executed the day after tomorrow, why do people with [Rage Spirit] still come to him?

Klein must know something!

Whispers echoed in Cell No. 010 the next moment.

'Klein, tell me the truth!'

When the whisper fell, Chen Yan didn't get an answer from Klein, only a mocking whisper.

"Think about it carefully and we'll talk again."

Klein, who was still under the control of the Whisper last night, is actually able to resist the control of the Whisper today?!

Chen Yan realized that something must have happened to Klein within this day!

Chen Yan thought, according to what Big William said before, the Justus family has established connections based on the extraordinary society of Yanan City several generations ago. Klein has already suffered the loss of a whisper, and today through his own

It is not something incomprehensible that channels find ways to be immune to whispers.

But why did Klein say this to me?

He wanted to save me? What was his motive?

Being a ghost...what kind of ghost are you doing?

In confusion, Chen Yan brainwashed Frank and the gargoyle with whispers, and then lay on the bed, extremely irritable.
