Chapter 1428 Jarvis
But she was definitely not the human girl assistant she used to be. A girl couldn’t create such a large-scale scene, and I could feel that special aura within her. It was an alien parasite!
“Heh heh, Mr. Pierce, how could you forget an old friend? We even did research together back then, and I even provided you with some ideas,” the girl’s voice, however, was that of a middle-aged man, a magnetic and deep voice.
“It’s you! Jarvis! No, how did you become my daughter, no, my assistant’s appearance?!” Pierce exclaimed in shock, looking at the girl.
With the series of shocks, his mind surprisingly became much clearer, and he was able to piece together the truth that the assistant had disguised herself as Lorna. It proved that this great chemist’s intelligence was indeed not low.
Moreover, he seemed to be an old acquaintance of the alien parasite controlling the assistant, as he could even hear his voice. I couldn’t help but wonder what their relationship was before.
“Ah? I’ve heard this name from Dad. He was a colleague in the same research field!” Lorna cried out in surprise.
“Indeed, your father and I are old friends. Such a great technology as Blood Oil was only perfected with the suggestions I provided,” Jarvis said.
The assistant, who looked exactly like Lorna, stood together, appearing like twin sisters. But Jarvis spoke with a middle-aged man’s voice, creating a strong sense of dissonance.
“No! You were never a friend, you were just plotting against me! The catalytic technology you taught me was infused with forbidden Black Witchcraft! It caused me to take a wrong turn, leading me to this state! I was even expelled from the research institute!” Pierce jumped up furiously and threw a punch at Jarvis.
Compared to the information revealed in his words, I was more surprised that Pierce could still move under such oppressive pressure. I could barely stand, and even Older Brother Jayad was immobilized.
“Calm down, old friend!” Jarvis raised his fair, small hand and slapped Pierce back, sending him crashing to the ground. Then, with a wave of his hand, several blood-colored chains bound Pierce.
“Isn’t this great? You’ve opened a new eye, allowing you to see more truths of the world, and you can still move freely under this spatial magic circle. And after your funding was cut off, it was I who suggested the conglomerate support you,” Jarvis said with a smile. Lorna’s face was quite cute when she smiled, but combined with that sarcastic tone, it only made one feel disgusted.
His words carried a great deal of information. It turned out he was involved in the Blood Oil formula back then, and it also contained elements of Black Magic, which caused Pierce’s mutation and madness.
Furthermore, it was his suggestion that the Hede Corporation supported Pierce, which led to the birth of the New Energy Company. It could be said that he was playing a grand chess game behind the scenes, orchestrating everything.
“So, I should thank you? Then how did you become this way? What did you do to that girl?!” Pierce questioned while struggling, but these blood-colored chains were made of magic, and he couldn’t break free.
Moreover, Pierce also asked about the assistant, which indicated that he still had some feelings for this girl who had impersonated his daughter and looked after him for years.
“I borrowed her body. Those fools of my own kind were too conservative. I recommended such a perfect talent like you and contributed such an important Blood Oil formula, yet they banned me from entering. It’s really a case of crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, and banishing the donkey after it grinds the mill!” Jarvis spoke with intense resentment.
I could imagine ten thousand words of factional disputes and brutal office politics. For an alien parasite to find someone who provided such important talent and participated in the design of the Blood Oil formula, only to be rejected.
I finally understood why this experimental development zone and the closed-off area were designed to resemble a defense against alien parasites of their own kind. It was likely to guard against Jarvis and his cronies.
“Heh heh, ha ha ha! Your research level was far inferior to mine back then. You couldn’t have come up with the oil catalytic formula without me. You could only add superfluous details to my achievements… Ugh!” Pierce mocked with a wild laugh, but halfway through, Jarvis grabbed his head.
A white, semi-transparent tentacle extended from Jarvis’s body and inserted itself into Pierce’s head. The flesh and blood seemed unable to block the semi-real, semi-phantom tentacle. This was the mental talent of an alien parasite.
“Daddy!” Lorna cried out, and Sherris was filled with rage. However, both of them were suppressed by the magic circle and couldn’t move, only able to watch as the tentacle sucked on Pierce’s brain, looking as if it were draining his brain matter.
“Ah!” As the tentacle was withdrawn, Pierce let out a scream of pain. Jarvis took out a round bead from his head. The blood-red and white sphere looked like an eyeball.
Pierce, whose eyeball was extracted by the translucent tentacle, collapsed on the ground, his face pale. However, he was still alive, and there were no scars on his head. It seemed the tentacle did not cause physical damage.
“Heh heh, you merely acquired your knowledge through the whispers of gods and happened to obtain the Inner Eye. Those old geezers said that the words of false gods should not be heeded and strictly forbade us from approaching you. Yet they themselves are using the technology of alien gods. What a joke,” Jarvis kicked Pierce and said disdainfully, then looked at the eyeball in his hand with intoxication.
So that was the Inner Eye? I remembered that at Amelia’s Clinic, I saw her perform surgery on someone, removing a half-formed eye from their brain.
At that time, Amelia told me that it was a mutation that would greatly increase Spirit Vision, causing people to hear a lot of杂乱 information and go mad, but many people also hoped to transplant that eye as a “mind’s eye.”
In comparison, the “mind’s eye” back then was far from as full and round as the one taken from Pierce’s head, and its volume was also significantly larger. Furthermore, unlike that “mind’s eye” which did not even have fully formed pupils, the Inner Eye had distinct black and white, with blood streaks.
It was clear that Pierce’s Inner Eye had developed more perfectly. Considering he was already mutated when he killed Lorna, the Inner Eye might have started developing then and had now been growing for at least twenty years.
“With this Inner Eye, anyone can acquire the knowledge of alien gods. Heh heh heh… Huh?!” As Jarvis was looking at the Inner Eye with intoxication, a sudden change occurred beside him.
“What did you do to Dad?!” Lorna’s eyes blazed with fury. After finally finding her father, he was harmed before her eyes. In her rage, three eyes opened on her face, shedding five-colored blood tears, making her adorable face appear ferocious and terrifying.
The seal suppressing her instantly failed. Lorna stared intently at Jarvis, and an invisible, distorted force firmly grasped Jarvis, tearing his body into five pieces in an instant.
