Ultimate Assassin: Start as the sixth floor in the Continental Hotel

Chapter 372: Hearing is Believing｜Mission: Impossible: The Final Weapon (2)

Emory University was already devastated. The IMF's latest lock missile could blow the target into ashes, but... the blood on the ground still frightened the students on campus, and some women even fainted on the spot. past.

Three figures walked out of the university. Ethan supported Professor Gloria thoughtfully. In front of them, the man who called himself "Blood Dragon" was holding a weird-shaped hand cannon and was clearing the way.

That mask was so scary that several students fainted after just waking up.

No matter how you look at it, you don't look like a good person.

The black van was parked in front of the school. Benji watched the group of people walking towards this direction, and Luther had already opened the door.

The atmosphere was a little strange. The blood dragon didn't say a word after introducing himself. He just looked at Professor Gloria intentionally or unintentionally while on guard, as if he was thinking.

Goria Mach graduated from MIT and has been engaged in research on intelligent machinery since graduation.

In the Blood Dragon timeline, Goria Mach died in early October 2023, and the cause of death was a secret execution by the Templar Order.

Yes, the hidden identity of Gorea Mach is that he is a researcher of the Templar Order in North America. When he was young, he participated in a secret project called the "Mechanical Ascension Project", and that project produced a fatal Killer weapon.

The codename of that killing weapon is "Heavy Hammer".

But in Blood Dragon's timeline, Gorea's legacy, there is one of the most notorious experimental projects called the "Pinocchio Project."

Does it sound like people and animals are harmless?

Pinocchio, the protagonist in the European and American fairy tale "Pinocchio", is a puppet given life by a fairy. His special ability is that if he lies, he will grow a long nose. At one time, Mr. Yu Qian, a well-known cross talk artist in China, felt that elephants were shameless. The originator.

There is a song I like very much, and one of the lyrics is... all fairy tales are lies.

The original intention of the "Pinocchio Project" was to create anthropomorphic intelligent robots for use in convenience industries to replace some heavy manual labor or highly repetitive mechanized assembly operations. After Professor Gorea Mach was secretly executed by the Templar Order, the research direction of the "Pinocchio Project" became military-oriented and dedicated to creating perfect robot soldiers.

In Blood Dragon's timeline, the mechanical legion born under the "Pinocchio Plan" was a special force under Otto II, specially used to monitor the ruled people and clean up the rebels in the territory.

Sound familiar?

A certain mustachioed head of state in Germany during World War II had such a force under his command, known as the "Gestapo."

Pinocchio is a lying puppet, friends... and at the end of the story, Pinocchio becomes human.

As for the mechanical soldiers born in the "Pinocchio Project", in the later stages of the Blood Dragon timeline, their appearance is no different from ordinary people.

and……

everywhere.

They served the Temple Order, they killed for the Temple Order, and countless people who resisted the power of the Order were blinded by their harmless appearance and torn into pieces...

Coincidentally, today is the day when Professor Goria was secretly executed by the Templar Order in the Blood Dragon timeline.

The execution location that time was also in Atlanta, also at Emory University.

The black van started its engine and gradually moved away from Emory University. Soon, a large number of American police officers arrived and blocked Emory University layer by layer.

"So, Mr. Blood Dragon, the information you provided said that Professor Gloria is an important witness..."

In the van, due to being frightened and Professor Goria's old age, he was arranged to rest in the back seat.

Ethan put away his charming smile at this time, lowered his voice and spoke to the blood dragon in front of him.

"Now... can you stop showing off?"

"Professor Gloria, what is the connection with the riots and missing persons cases in North America?"

"I don't think this is the time to talk about this, Mr. Hunter." Blood Dragon slowly took off his mask, revealing a face that was exactly the same as Chen Yan, but with only one eye. "We need to get Goria to a safe location..."

"It's safe in the car." Ethan looked at the blood dragon and said in a deep voice, "What are you hiding..."

"Some of Gorea's secret research is likely to change the structure of the world, Mr. Hunter." Blood Dragon looked at Professor Gorea who was sleeping soundly in the back seat with some indifference, "You saw it too. , some people don’t want him to live, and those people are the initiators of the missing persons case.”

"Syndicate..." Ethan lowered his head, as if he thought of something, and slowly said one word, "It must be the fault of Syndicate... Damn it, I knew it wouldn't end that easily!"

"Although I know what the international terrorist organization you are talking about is, I regret that you guessed wrong this time, Mr. Hunter." Xuelong calmly lit a cigarette for himself and rolled down the window glass, "I'm sorry. I can honestly say that the man behind this time is an ancient group that is older and larger than the Syndicate."

"The Order of the Ancients...or you can also call them the Order of the Templars."

"By the way, Mr. Roosevelt, the 32nd President of the United States, also served this ancient group... Of course, considering that the United States does not have many years of history, I guess there will be no historical records of these things. "

"Your intelligence mentioned this organization before, but you didn't go into details..." Ethan said solemnly, "You have been accusing this so-called 'Knights Templar Order' of conducting some experimental projects against humanity... But Professor Gloria cannot provide us with any strong clues under the current circumstances."

"We need to know more, sir."

"I feel like no matter what I say, you can't prove anything..." He casually flicked the cigarette butt out of the window, and Xuelong put on his mask again and looked towards the front of the car. "A verbal description is definitely not as good as witnessing it with your own eyes."

"Mr. Hunter."

"boom!!!"

The huge black figure fell from the sky in an instant, and the body of the black van shook violently, making the sound of metal twisting.

The car was forced to stop by the huge figure in front of the car.

Almost all of his body was made up of mechanical structures. The "behemoth" in front of him actually used his hands to forcefully stop a van traveling at 120 kilometers per hour. The metal prosthetic leg pulled a long crack on the road. And that head, as gray as a death, with red eyes, was looking at the people in the car.

Ethan also showed a shocked expression at this time.

"W...T...F...".
