Volume One: The Nature of the Devil Does Not Change, and the Heart of the Dead Devil Regrets Nothing"
Scarlet King looked at Ikalat and looked at him while pointing to the shadow:
You, Ikalat, and the shadow—find us a good place to rest, while Lin Yuan and I go steal the compound.-
While the shadow dragged Ikalat to travel through the darkness, Lin Yuan carried Scarlet King and flew into the sky, heading toward the United States of America.
Within 0.000001 of a second, Lin Yuan crossed 10,000 kilometers, and they were in the Nevada desert.
There, they stood on the peak of a desert mountain in the morning, and it seemed the laboratory was a military base. Scarlet King spoke to Lin Yuan:
"Make me meet one of the chiefs in this laboratory."
Lin Yuan turned in confusion, questioning, and said:
"Why do you want to meet one of the officials?"
Scarlet King turned, grabbed Lin Yuan, carried him, and said to him:
"Do what I say—no extra talk."
And he threw him with a force that shattered the sound toward the laboratory. Lin Yuan crashed into the roof and smashed it. As he brushed the dust off his body, he noticed some scientists. He spoke while scratching his neck in embarrassment:
"Oh, sorry, it was an emergency landing. Do you have some clothes?"
Lin Yuan moved behind one of the cleaning workers and into a medium-sized white changing room, and chose blue underclothes with a wide, beautiful, shiny yellow robe with the golden dragon emblem.
Lin Yuan left the room into the corridor and began moving toward the chiefs' office. The air inside the laboratory was suffocating. The more Lin Yuan advanced, he heard the sounds of heavy metals and loud screams, and with them he remembered some painful memories of the past. He spoke to himself while grinding his teeth:
( The same place..... the same smell..... the same cursed place I hate so much. )
He advanced further until he reached the chiefs' gate. He adjusted his clothes and arranged them, then entered. The place was almost empty, with 11 members inside. When Lin Yuan entered, everyone looked at him. In the middle was a man with white hair, a thick beard, neatly arranged blond hair, cold expressions, blue eyes, and a large nose. He asked Lin Yuan in a booming voice:
"What brings Lin Yuan here?"
Lin Yuan spoke nervously and closed his eyes from the tension, speaking with difficulty and stuttering:
"Sir.. I-I have an important guest.... I want your secretary to meet h-him...."
Then he shouted quickly and said:
"He has important information about China's plan to invade the great United States of America!!"
The place fell silent. The supreme chief spoke and said:
"Hah, fine. No problem. Michael Gill, go with Lin Yuan and check this guest in the private rooms."
[In the private rooms]
Scarlet King sat there, and his clothes were different this time. He was wearing all-black clothing with a coat behind his back, a classic black military cap, classic black shoes, and a black cloth covering his entire face. Michael Gill sat in the chair opposite Scarlet King and spoke:
"What information do you have?"
Scarlet King answered coldly:
"I don't have any information."
Michael Gill stood up from his seat in anger and shouted in Scarlet King's face:
"You want to die, right? You're truly insane. You'll die, and Lin Yuan will face severe punishment."
Scarlet King replied in extreme calm:
"Everyone says I'm insane and love savage killing, but cooperating with me has great benefits. Yet you refused those benefits, so you are useless too—meaning there is no reason for me to keep you alive."
Michael Gill stepped back nervously and spoke provocatively:
"You're in a military base. You won't escape either."
Suddenly, Michael Gill saw the room spinning strangely, and he felt a strange warmth around his neck. When he grabbed his neck, he felt a hot liquid and saw a large amount of blood on his neck. He tried to scream but failed, and suddenly Michael Gill's head fell to the floor.
From Scarlet King's perspective, Michael Gill was truly dead: blood sprayed from Michael's neck, and his head fell on the floor.
And it was crushed by an octopus-like hand, as a red creature emerged from the shadow, with a melted, deformed face, flat hair standing in the air like spikes, a grotesquely deformed body, a melted mouth, and an opening that showed a heart beating with life. This creature spoke as it knelt on the ground:
"I offer my greetings, my great lord [Information removed]."
Lin Yuan, who was standing in the corner of the room behind Michael Gill, was shocked. He shouted at Scarlet King:
"Are.... are you insane!!?"
Here, Scarlet King's form changed into Michael Gill's form, perfectly identical. He raised his hand toward Lin Yuan and said:
"Don't worry. Everything is going according to the plan."
Here, Scarlet King stood up from his place, moved, and left the private room, heading toward one of the scientists. Lin Yuan was behind him, and the creature inside his shadow. He spoke to the scientist coldly:
"Where is the compound that was injected into Lin Yuan?"
The scientist answered nervously:
"Sir Michael Gill, it's in the president's office—the compound, Q—it's in the president's office in Section D."
Scarlet King looked at the scientist coldly, his gaze terrifying to the man. Then he turned away, left the scientist, and continued on his way toward Section D. As he moved forward, he asked one of the cleaning workers:
"Where is the supreme president's office?"
The worker answered while continuing his cleaning:
"It's right next to you, Mr. Michael Gill."
Scarlet King moved coldly, and with slow steps entered the supreme president's office, which was empty. It was filled with family photos, a desk in the middle, and a bookshelf behind it. It was a very simple office, but Scarlet King and Lin Yuan began searching for the compound.
After five ghayrlihiya [five minutes], Lin Yuan finally found the compound under the president's chair. There were two compounds instead of one, and this was an overwhelming victory for Scarlet King.
But then he heard the sound of the door opening.
