<h4>Chapter 1512: Hell Has Rejected Me Once</h4>


    “Just here?”


    Standing in front of a magnificent mansion, Lu Zhou, who was standing next to Ling, looked at the map on the holographic screen. He nced at the number on the door te. He then stepped forward in front of the ess control system and spoke.


    “Excuse me, is Mr. Morinaga at home?”


    The electronic screen flickered slightly.


    After a while, a bright and sunny smile appeared in front of Lu Zhou.


    “Academician Lu?” With a hint of surprise on his face, Morinaga said with a smile, “What brings you here?”


    Lu Zhou: “Because I want to discuss some things with you in detail.”


    “The entrance is not the ce to talk, pleasee in.”


    The iron gate opened slowly on both sides.


    Lu Zhou nced around. He then nodded towards Ling, who was wearing casual clothes. They walked into the vi along the path of the front yard.


    An old butler with a wrinkled face but sturdy body stood at the door of the main building. After seeing Lu Zhou, he nodded slightly. He then made a gesture, inviting him to enter the building, and led him through the spacious porch.


    “Your house is quite big,” Lu Zhou said with a faint smile when he sat down on the sofa and looked at Morinaga, who was sitting across the coffee table.


    “It was passed down by my ancestors.” Morinaga nodded slightly as he watched the housekeeper put the teacup on the coffee table. He then smiled at Lu Zhou and said, “I don’t know what is so important that you came to my humble abode in person.”


    Without touching the teacup on the table, Lu Zhou, who was sitting on the sofa, thought for a while and said straightforwardly, “I’m not a person who likes to beat around the bush, so I’ll just say it.


    “How much do you know about The Spirit of The Universe Foundation.”


    The atmosphere in the living room fell into silence.


    The air seemed to be frozen.


    “... Foundation? What foundation?”


    Morinaga’s eyes sharpened unconsciously as he pretended not to know.


    Capturing the change in his expression, Lu Zhou smiled faintly and nced at Ling.


    Ling, who was sitting next to him, nodded. He then took out a thumb-sized memory card from his pocket and ced it on the coffee table. He then flicked his index finger to send it to Morinaga.


    “What is this...?”


    Lu Zhou: “The memory card for holographic TVs, y it.”


    Feeling suspicious, Morinaga nodded to his butler and told him to insert the memory card into the holographic TV.


    Soon, azure blue light particles appeared in the air. A translucent holographic panel quickly upied the entire wall of the living room.


    The old butler spoke respectfully.


    “Shall I y it?”


    With an uncertain look on his face, Morinaga nced at Lu Zhou. He then nced at the robot sitting next to him and said, “Sure, I’m not afraid of anything.”


    The old butler nodded. He reached out his hand and flicked in the air. A clear picture quickly appeared on the translucent holographic screen.


    What was shown on the screen was a surveince video, and the location was an apartment building somewhere in Shanghai.


    Morinaga looked at the familiar corridor and himself, who appeared in the monitoring screen. Morinaga’s pupils shrank slightly, and ayer of cold sweat gradually formed on his back.


    Of course he knew where this was.


    He was just there yesterday.


    Judging from the scene on the screen, this surveince footage should have been yesterday!


    “After getting off the parking lot, Mr. Morinaga went straight to room 5709 on the 57th floor and stayed in it for three hours... Am I right?”


    “So? Is there any problem with this?” Looking at Lu Zhou sitting opposite him, Morinaga tried to restrain the tension in his heart. Pretending to be calm, he said, “It’s just a piece of footage, what can this exin?”


    Lu Zhou smiled slightly. “Are you going to continue acting with me? If you want, I can even pull up your call records, including the part where you threatened Academician Qiu Mingrui.”


    The moment he heard Academician Qiu’s name, Morinaga’s face finally changed to a gloomy expression.


    Just when Lu Zhou was curious about how he was going to exin, Morinaga’s shoulders suddenly loosened slightly, and the expression on his face rxed.


    Looking at Lu Zhou sitting across from him, Morinaga said softly, “You win.”


    Lu Zhou looked at him and did not speak. He just waited quietly for him to continue.


    “Honestly, I am really surprised.


    “I thought that an old antique from a hundred years ago should be at my mercy. I didn’t expect every choice you made, and the final results were beyond my expectations.”


    Knowing that his identity had been exposed, Morinaga stopped acting. He leaned back into the sofa and continued with a rxed tone.


    “If everything went ording to n, you should have died in that explosion, together with the robot courier. The outside world will make a wonderful movie script for you and Liu Zhengxing, the end of great schrs.”


    “Then you underestimated me.” Lu Zhou said with a faint smile, “Even The Gates of Hell didn’t bury me. Do you think it’s possible to do it with just two kilograms of explosives?”


    “I admit that I have underestimated you.” Looking at Lu Zhou who sat opposite him, Morinaga suddenly threw out an unexpected sentence. “If that’s the case, consider joining us.”


    Lu Zhou was slightly stunned. He said with a smile, “Did I hear you wrong?”


    “You heard it right, I’m serious.” Morinaga said with a faint smile, “Over the past hundred years, we have grown strong; so strong that you can’t even imagine. You know so much. Joining us is the only possibility for you to survive.”


    Lu Zhou nced at the time on the holographic TV and said casually, “You should tell this to the police.”


    The look on Morinaga’s face gradually became gloomy.


    “So you refuse?”


    Lu Zhou: “Have I shown any interest in your proposal?”


    “Very well.”


    Morinaga sighed in relief and closed his eyes.


    Just when Lu Zhou thought he had given up, his eyes suddenly opened.


    His dark pupils were filled with craziness...


    “You shouldn’t havee here in person, but unfortunately, your arrogance will be your demise! You have survived for so long, but now you’re asking to die... Why?”


    There were two safe ces in the whole mansion; one was the wine cer and the other was the living room. The former was connected to the safe house under the vi, and thetter was equipped with at least 20 automatic weapons, which he hid in the dark.


    After all, what he was doing was subverting society. If he didn’t prepare things to protect himself, he might be a corpse in a ditch someday.


    It was just that Morinaga never thought that the trump cards he kept for self-protection would really be useful one day, or that they would be used on an old antique from a hundred years ago.


    However, in any case, his identity must not be exposed!


    If Lu Zhou disappeared, people from the Security Bureau would definitely find him. However, this would give him time to escape.


    “You know too much, go to hell with your secrets and knowledge!”


    “Hell has already rejected me once, and it will be the same this time.”


    Lu Zhou looked at theser rays pointed at himself and the automatic weapons hanging from the ceiling, yet the expression on Lu Zhou’s face was far from showing even the slightest fear. He smiled and crossed his legs.


    “I’ll leave this to you.”


    The person sitting on the sofa suddenly disappeared from Morinaga’s sight...
