Chapter 974 - 733: You Really Are Crazy
Lu Xiao shook his head helplessly, "I still can’t leave."
Jin was so angry he bared his teeth, desperately wanting to grab him by the collar and demand answers, "I’ve told you so much, and you still won’t go, what the hell are you thinking!"
He was truly angry, worried that this guy would implicate Shen Tang!
There’s another reason; he’s now recovered his memories. Truth be told, after working under the same roof for so long, there’s inevitably some bond felt.
Jin really didn’t want to see Lu Xiao make a stupid mistake over such matters, risking his life foolishly, feeling quite a bit frustrated like iron that fails to become steel.
Lu Xiao’s eyes showed a trace of weariness, he pressed his lips together and softly said, "This matter isn’t as simple as you think."
"The Hand of Creation has always eyed Sky City, wanting to infiltrate its power."
"Mo Yan has shown a softened attitude because I’ve frequently hinted to him, making him much more vigilant of the Hand of Creation. So during this time, he has consistently rejected invitations from them."
"After injecting ’Return Nest,’ it also made Mo Yan trust me more. All this time, I’ve been able to do more things, learn more information... Although I’ve tried my best to disrupt the cooperation between Sky City and the Hand of Creation, unfortunately, the effect is limited as of now."
"The deep collaboration and binding between the two in the future probably will be an unstoppable trend."
Jin slightly furrowed his brows, not understanding why Lu Xiao was telling him this, "Hasn’t the Hand of Creation always been doing this? Don’t mention Sky City, many other race leaders have long been infiltrated by them."
He said this with some irritation, "Even the spies on the Hunting Leopard Clan side are like indestructible cockroaches, truly disgusting."
Lu Xiao looked at him, eyes even deeper, "Do you know why the Hand of Creation goes to such lengths for this?"
Jin frowned even tighter, answering without thinking, "Of course, to expand their power."
Eris Star has been governed by various ancient races, it’s the territory of native beastmen, and the Hand of Creation is more like an outsider that came halfway.
"If they want to expand their power, they can only package themselves as the ’Divine Hall’ and build good relations with native Beast Clan, then slowly penetrate."
"Once thoroughly infiltrated into various races, even if those in power realize it, they probably can’t break free from the Hand of Creation, eventually will only be completely assimilated by them."
Now Jin possesses two sets of memories, having experienced more things, naturally seeing more clearly the current situation.
"That’s part of the reason, but not all of it."
Lu Xiao, however, shook his head, sighed lightly, and voiced his speculation, "They do want Sky City’s powers, but what they want most is to attain the secret techniques of Mo Yan’s clan, like ’Return Nest’ inside me."
"’Return Nest’ can be said to be the foundation for Mo Yan’s clan’s unshaken standing, which the Hand of Creation has long coveted."
"Their ambition is even greater; they want to mass-produce ’Return Nest’ to control more people."
Although the Hand of Creation has secretly produced many experimental subjects, now the Blood Clan has perished, they probably can’t produce many powerful experimental subjects anymore.
Each important experimental subject for them will be limited and precious.
Moreover, even experimental subjects have their own consciousness.
They may not be completely loyal to the Hand of Creation.
So the Hand of Creation is now facing a predicament; they must fully control these experimental subjects under them, ensuring absolute loyalty to the organization.
That’s why they’re urgently focusing on ’Return Nest.’
Of course, these are external reasons, not the most important for them.
There’s still the most important aspect...
Lu Xiao’s fingers clenched white-knuckled, as he looked at Jin, who appeared a bit stunned, his voice low and hoarse to the extreme:
"...Tangtang is also an experimental subject."
Jin’s pupils constricted, breath heavy as if realizing something.
Lu Xiao, "She is an experimental subject created by the Hand of Creation, sooner or later she will be targeted. I did instruct her not to come... But I also know, no matter how, her existence cannot fully detach from that side."
"This time, she’s recklessly returned, I’m afraid they will soon discover her whereabouts..."
Lu Xiao didn’t continue the words, his jawline taut, those blue-gray eyes appeared deeper, seemingly brewing some dark emotion.
"The Hand of Creation will stop at nothing to obtain ’Return Nest.’
