Chapter 266 Fu Luo's Quirk
Chapter 266 Fu Luo's Quirk
Without Fu Luo's reminder, Lin Yu and Li Nian realized that something was wrong as soon as Baron Coleman suddenly yelled.
As soon as the robot came out, they prepared to run away.
Before Fu Luo could finish his sentence, two people squatted next to him.
Then, the robot swarms exploded in series.
Tiny, extremely small explosions occurred rapidly and densely, making it look like everyone was wrapped in a string of thousands of whips.
"How come you know everything? What's your position in the Truth Company?" Li Nian sighed. "This thing doesn't look like it has much explosive power!"
Lin Yu looked directly at Fu Luo: "So what's so scary about this thing?"
Seeing that the two seemed to underestimate the explosion because it was too small, Fu Luo quickly spoke.
"It doesn't rely on explosive force to kill...it's not even a physical attack!"
"This thing attacks the mind—many of Truth Company's weapons are like this. They may not seem powerful, but they're actually aimed at the brain and soul!"
After Fu Luo finished speaking, the explosion stopped.
The field workers of the Truth Company fell to the ground one by one as if they had lost their minds, and their behavior looked very dull.
This scared Lin Yu and Li Nian a lot.
"This thing is really cruel."
Li Nian muttered.
Lin Yu also quickly looked at Fu Luo: "Does this thing have lasting damage, or will it be safe after it explodes?"
"It will be safe after the explosion."
After getting Fu Luo's answer, Lin Yu immediately stepped forward.
Li Nian was a little puzzled: "What are you going to do?"
"Preparing to mediate—we just went in to investigate the 'truth' and saw something that might drive the two brothers to war..."
Lin Yu sighed and looked at Coleman and Punkdo, who had been fighting side by side just now but were now confronting each other after the foreign enemy was dealt with.
Judging from the fact that Baron Coleman just called these robots to literally "blow these armed men into idiots", the baron must be furious at the moment.
Although he was interrupted again and again, first the time in the [Ancient Notes] ran out, and when he returned, he encountered the enemy in front...
But now that everything was done, Baron Coleman had calmed down a little and was less impulsive, but his anger and resentment had not diminished at all.
He looked at Punkto with cold eyes.
"So... it was you who did it back then?"
"No wonder you were so eager to seal off the scene when something happened to you!"
"Punkto, Ponkto von Valetti—I considered you a dear friend!"
This is indeed a drama of old friends turning against each other because old stories have surfaced, but the circumstances are a little special.
Faced with Baron Coleman's accusations, Ponkdo could only lower his head helplessly.
"Sorry, I……"
"I can't remember."
Baron Coleman was furious at Punkto's reaction.
He felt like he had punched cotton.
People are shaped by their memories - as the former director of independent research at Truth Corporation, Baron Coleman knows this better than most people.
Ponkdo, who has lost his memory, is not the leader of Team Delta who killed his colleagues and betrayed his friends.
He is just a young man who has just joined the Truth Company, has ideals and wants to investigate the truth behind the disappearance of his great-uncle, which has troubled his grandfather and father's lives.
Baron Coleman clenched his fists, then slowly released them.
He sighed.
"Forget it... At least in the end, you stood by me again and went with me to assassinate Paris."
Baron Coleman was relieved.
But Ponkdo's own pain and resentment were no less than his. After Baron Coleman was relieved, he gritted his teeth.
"No, it shouldn't be said so lightly... This matter has been bothering you for a long time, hasn't it?"
"Also, a colleague at the company died—Reed Christopher. He died at my hands."
Punkto grabbed his hair fiercely.
"Damn it, damn it...what on earth has happened to me all these years?"
"Why did I become like this?! What on earth have I experienced, and what have I forgotten?!"
Punkto was on the verge of collapse.
He held his head in his hands and yelled.
Coleman looked at his painful appearance and sighed again.
He did not try to comfort his old friend in front of him, but just looked at Li Nian, Lin Yu and Fu Luo again, and then spoke.
"There's another injustice against him, but I'm not sure if it counts now," Coleman sighed and pointed at Punkto. "During a field mission, he was accused of blowing up a mansion in Night City, killing three residents—of course, those three residents were actually the mistress and two illegitimate daughters of a director of our Truth Company."
"This incident caused him to be dismissed from his job and grounded - because he told me he was innocent, I personally worked to get him back."
"I used to believe what he told me, but..."
Baron Coleman paused. "Although I still want to believe him, I can no longer rationally judge whether the 'Punkto' of ten years ago would have lied to me."
The devastated Punkto raised his head upon hearing this, opened his mouth, and finally said: "I...I don't know either."
"If I really reach that disgusting level in a few years and end up like this, it would seem like retribution."
He said with a sigh.
"So, do you want to check it again with that notebook?"
Li Nian said, touching his chin.
Lin Yu looked at Fu Luo, but Fu Luo shook his head.
"The explosion happened four years ago. Three prominent but secretive women died. Two of them were minors, right?"
"I know this case. If the file I read is correct, the crime took place on the top floor of Hull Apartments."
Baron Coleman looked surprised.
"You...you've actually read this file? Do you have such high authority?!"
"No, Director Kidd fell in the fifth year after you came in—and it was President Paris who did it."
"So the information about his lover's death was also released. I glanced at the file," Fu Luo nodded his head, "and then I stored it in my head."
Li Nian was shocked. "You have a photographic memory? You remember it after just one glance... Is there really a memory palace? Or do you have hyperthymesia?"
"No, actually I... memorized it on purpose."
"I glanced at it casually, not just glanced at it."
Fu Luo said embarrassedly.
"What are you carrying that thing for?"
Lin Yu looked at Fu Luo and asked.
Fu Luo said embarrassedly, "That case was presented as evidence of the director's guilt. It was said that he was using it as evidence to attack other people. I thought the case seemed a bit strange, so I wrote it down. I plan to practice my reasoning with it before going to bed one day, just as a logical thinking exercise."
