Seeing Wen Yu drift away, Sequence One couldn't help but curl his lips.
"How rude, leaving without even saying goodbye."
Meanwhile, Lin Haifeng watched Wen Yu's retreating figure, a complex expression glimmering in his eyes.
"Can you kill him?"
"What's up? It seems your mood isn't as indifferent as you just claimed."
Lin Haifeng remained silent for a moment, then sighed deeply.
"Although the plan has been laid out for a long time, that is my son... Seeing the corpse of Kang Liu, my heart aches..."
A hint of sarcasm crept into Sequence One's eyes as he spoke bluntly.
"What were you doing all this time?"
Lin Haifeng stayed silent.
After a while, he rubbed his temples heavily.
"Forget it, Kang Liu didn’t die in vain; at least it temporarily stabilized Wen Yu. By the way, can you really take him down?"
"Yes!"
Sequence One nodded affirmatively.
"The success rate of killing him is twenty percent. Due to the existence of the Ethereal Realm, the chance of him escaping is seventy-nine percent. The remaining one percent, I have never fought him. So, what do you think? Is it worth the gamble?"
"Will you do it?"
"No."
Sequence One shook his head decisively and added, "Definitely not! I have no grudge against him; why would I help you create such a big problem?"
"Then forget it. Let's put Wen Yu aside for now; there are no good strategies to target him at the moment."
Hearing Lin Haifeng say this, Sequence One immediately grinned, showing a set of white teeth.
"Wise choice."
"By the way, how's Caius doing?"
"Refusing to cooperate. What else is new? Are you thinking of using this method to trick Caius? Just so you know, I won't help you with your random tricks."
"Forget him; inform Qin Min, Fang Bai, and Michelle to return and cease the pursuit of Arcade."
"What's going on? Is there a change in the situation?"
Lin Haifeng nodded affirmatively.
"The Sequence Control Plan has failed; I admit that. At this point, Wen Yu and Arcade have officially torn their faces with us, and even Caius is filled with grievances. The plan is temporarily halted. Moreover, I need to deal with the unstable elements within the earth community, and I will need your strength. You might have more work to do in the near future."
"To whom much is given, much is required; I don’t mind."
Then, Sequence One murmured, "I just wonder if this old fox will use the same methods to backstab me..."
Lin Haifeng didn’t hear clearly, "What did you say?"
"I said, no matter how much I give, it won't be more than what you do, hehe."
...
Lin Haifeng once again glanced at the bodies of Kang Liu and Claire on the ground. The emotional fluctuations that had briefly appeared in his eyes quickly subsided. After a moment, he spoke.
"Bring Kang Liu and Claire's bodies back. I want to extract their skills."
Sequence One nodded, not surprised that Lin Haifeng had a method to extract skills from the dead.
"Congeal!"
With that word, the dismembered bodies of Kang Liu and Claire began to rapidly restore themselves. Within three seconds, their complete forms appeared before Sequence One.
Their peaceful faces looked as if they were simply asleep, showing no signs of battle.
Looking at Kang Liu, who seemed to be in a deep slumber, a complex expression flashed through Lin Haifeng's eyes as he sighed and spoke.
"You must have resurrection privileges, right?"
Sequence One nodded, "Yes, but are you sure you need the kind provided by the sovereign, similar to a perfect clone resurrection service? That kind of resurrection results in a body without a soul, unable to use the Exchange Stone Pillar—just a flesh-covered robot. They are now a level five and a level four; living their entire life, they would only remain at this level, and if you extract their skills, they would just be weaklings.”
Lin Haifeng remained silent for a moment before softly asking, “Then let me ask you a question... If two people resurrected as you described, through perfect cloning, were to have a child, would that child have a soul?"
