Chapter 921: Chapter 864: "Demolition King"_2

In the company’s eyes, humans were no different from those defective, scrapped mechanical devices.

...

The explosion seemed to announce the dawn prematurely. After the entire B Area collapsed due to the explosion, Guan Lili, who "luckily escaped," urgently organized a rescue operation. At the time of the explosion, Franken and his students were still in B Area, not yet evacuated, and the hearts of the crew members were in their throats.

If there were massive casualties, their internal rivals at the company could naturally call a halt to the program.

Only Chief Guan Lili looked calm and composed.

She understood Song Lan well.

Destroy property, not hurt people: she had already begun to grasp Song Lan’s behavioral code.

Even in Guan Lili’s view, as the saying goes, blessings and misfortunes come hand in hand, the explosion was not necessarily a bad thing—the complete destruction of B Area’s investigation bureau should adequately satisfy the other party’s thirst for demolition, meaning the Eden Hotel was safe for now.

As for the investigation bureau’s Chief Catherine...

After all, the headquarters would pay for the repairs using the Review Meeting’s funds; she wouldn’t have to dip into her own pocket.

More importantly, while the control room’s equipment was interrupted for some unknown reason, other cameras still captured the spectacular scene during the explosion.

Bigger than all the previous seasons combined.

No government facility had ever been featured being blown up in the program, and this explosion could also fully demonstrate to the public and the Review Meeting the urgency of changing the company’s outdated system.

After all, the criminals who could fill the entire B Area were all products of the old system of Kolo Film Industry.

Half an hour later, there was a new development in the rescue operation.

To everyone’s surprise, none of the contestants affected by the explosion were injured; not even minor injuries occurred, with the only one unconscious being someone who had fainted from shock.

No one remembered exactly what had happened during the explosion.

Everyone spoke of the blinding fireworks that filled their vision, and they had felt the heat in the air; just when they thought they were surely dead, the rescue team arrived — the room they were in had miraculously survived the collapse.

However, none of Vadim’s remnants survived, including those previously captured and jailed.

According to the captain of the rescue squad, they might only be able to confirm the identities of the dead after further tests on blood, ashes, and other samples.

In the chaos of the crowd, Lu Xiang immediately spotted the "anxious" Song Lan, who looked like a concerned mentor tending to his students.

No wonder he had once played the role of Chai Ke in a movie, the Kolo Film Industry crew had more than once hoped to negotiate another collaboration with him through Su Li, until later when Su Li said that his friend who played Chai Ke had chosen to end his life, unable to step out of the shadow of that role, and only then the matter was dropped.

After observing Song Lan’s impromptu performance for a moment, she approached him when no one was around.

"Did you really let them blow up the entire B Area?"

Lu Xiang said softly.

She still remembered the expression on Teacher Catherine’s face when she heard the explosion, first astonishment, then aging ten years in an instant.

Song Lan said assertively, "I was busy escaping for my life, I couldn’t focus on the explosion."

"The truth is?"

"Getting back at them for you."

"Getting back at them for me?"

"They were being underhanded at the time, refused the voluntary application you submitted, and even deliberately delayed until the recruitment season was almost over, leaving you no choice but to accept a job in a remote area like Seventeen Area."

For a top student from Morning Star Academy, this was as good as being exiled to the frontier.

Because of this relationship, Song Lan had always had a poor impression of the investigation bureau, he emphasized further, "And let’s be clear, I did not blow up the building, if anybody to blame, it should be the criminals who detonated the bomb."

"I actually want to thank them, it’s fortunate they rejected me, and maybe that’s just fate, but—"

At this point, Lu Xiang pursed her lips and with a slight smile, she shifted the topic, "But from today onward, the title of ’Demolition King’ won’t escape you."

This Dumb Bird had unknowingly accumulated titles as "Serial Killer," "Jinx Star," "Demolition King," and so it seems Kolo Film Industry might indeed find no one better suited to playing a villain than him.

"How’s your trainee doing?"

"Trust Gustav."

For this old foe who had once held his own on the battlefield, Song Lan did not skimp on high praise.

He was one of the few people with whom he could converse comfortably and who was reliable in handling matters.

Before dawn arrived, the white van parked inside an abandoned factory as planned.

The factory was a relic of the last century. Since the city had been dubbed "Dream Chasing City" for the fourth time, industry had faded from the city. The reason the factory had not been demolished was because it was often used as a filming location for horror and thriller movies by Kolo Film Industry.

Now, the vast factory was empty.

"Thanks to Vadim and his lapdogs, otherwise the plan would never have gone so smoothly!"

The young driver banged heavily on the steering wheel, and the blaring horn sounded particularly grating under the night sky, causing Monica to frown.

This was her first official collaboration with other members of the organization.

Before this, all affairs of the organization were managed solely by Troy, and most of the time, she felt like just a figurehead.

In fact, it was not she who had originally proposed the establishment of the organization. When Troy suggested organizing these people together, she had agreed.

At that time, assassinating the founder of Kolo Film Industry seemed like a fantastical idea— they needed enough intelligence, assistance, and funds.

However, in Monica’s imagination, these people should have been more professional.

She helped Troy out of the car and poured water mixed with powdered medicine into his mouth.

After a violent cough, came intense gasping for breath.

Troy, gasping for air heavily after breathing his first breath of fresh air, clutched his chest and bent over. When he caught a glimpse of Monica and the people around him from the corner of his eye, he struggled to say, "The Investigation Bureau is onto us, many of our strongholds have been exposed."

"I know, and we won’t need them anymore. Troy, Xingosi is already dead."

"You guys... succeeded?"

Troy’s eyes widened in disbelief, "You actually killed the founder of Kolo Film Industry?"

Even without experiencing the process, just hearing the outcome allowed him to sense the epic scale of their journey, much like those classic mythological tales describing rebellion, where a group of nothing turned against the high gods.

"Yes, Xingosi is dead."

Monica steadied herself and said, "But more importantly, Troy, there’s something else that’s pressing now. It’s time to dissolve the organization, and then I’ll find a way to help you all leave the fourth zone."

"Monica, you..."

Troy wanted to say something more but suddenly noticed the red dot flickering at her chest, turning his attention to the others, "Is this the place you chose? Who leaked the information?"

This area of the factory was the most open, with no cover to be found anywhere.

Troy immediately thought of the Unusual Case Investigation Bureau. They had the authority to use the Skynet system. Under the watch of "Skynet," every move of theirs was exposed.

"Don’t worry, no one leaked any information."

The young man who was driving earlier responded, this open space without any cover was his carefully chosen spot, "Miss Monica, please do not make any rash movements. I’ve heard that you are a rather dangerous Psychic."

Monica sighed.

Before tonight, she still harbored illusions about these people.

Or more accurately, she instinctively refused to believe the fact that the organization had long since degenerated.

"Don’t take it to heart, this isn’t about you."

The young man said, "You might find it hard to imagine how much the military technology is willing to pay to capture you, just consider this the last thing you do for us before you dissolve the organization."
