160: Reincarnation? You dare to presume!

Chapter 160: Borrowing a Corpse to Resurrect a Soul? You're Not Worthy! Zzz—

The tires screeched a long, ear-piercing sound on the wet asphalt.

Ninth Master's old hands, gripping the steering wheel, suddenly trembled. The dilapidated minivan swerved Li Ke a startled loach, almost crashing into the roadside guardrail.

"Don't move."

Su Qingxue's reaction was as fast as a reflex.

The muzzle of her gun was pressed against Li Ke's thick double chin.

Her hand was shaking, not from fear, but because it was Li Ke.

The silly fat guy who had just been crying and calling out, "Brother Mo."

"Hands up." Su Qingxue gritted her teeth, her finger tightening on the trigger.

"Li Ke" didn't raise his hands.

He looked down at his fleshy palms, then squeezed the flab on his belly, a look of undisguised disdain on his face.

"Truly... inferior hardware."

He sighed, looking at Su Qingxue with eyes glowing with a faint blue light. "This shell, accumulated with fat and carbohydrates, is only fit to be a temporary container."

"Get out of this dead fatty's body!"

Su Qingxue roared, pushing the gun muzzle forward, pressing into Li Ke's flesh until it caved in.

"Get out?"

"Li Ke" smiled.

He extended a finger and lightly flicked the dark muzzle of the gun.

"Officer Su, can you bear to shoot?"

"This is your colleague, your... comrade-in-arms."

He deliberately emphasized the pronunciation of "comrade-in-arms," his sarcastic tone exactly Li Ke Professor Qin's usual condescending lectures.

"I've already blocked the pain receptors in this body, but I'm connected to his brainstem."

"If you shoot, you'll blow out Li Ke's brains, not mine."

Su Qingxue froze.

Sweat trickled down her temples, dripping onto her collar.

This was indeed a stalemate.

"Not going to shoot?"

The blue light in "Li Ke's" eyes suddenly intensified. "Then I won't hold back."

Whoosh!

The hook punch came without warning.

No one expected Li Ke's two-hundred-pound clumsy body, under the control of this consciousness, to be able to erupt with such speed.

Bang!

The fist heavily smashed into Su Qingxue's wrist.

The handgun flew out of her grasp, hit the car window, and fell into the gap between the seats.

Immediately after, "Li Ke" lunged towards the driver's seat, his thick arms wrapping around Ninth Master's neck Li Ke pythons.

"Old man, stop the car!"

"Cough cough... let... go..." Ninth Master's face instantly turned a purplish-red, his hands desperately clawing at Li Ke's arms, but his foot was still stomping on the brake.

But it was useless.

"Li Ke's" other hand violently twisted the steering wheel.

Screech—!

The minivan completely lost control.

It drifted sideways in the heavy rain, Li Ke an out-of-control top.

The people inside the car tumbled around Li Ke dice.

Chen Mo's broken leg slammed hard against the metal frame of the front seat.

"Hiss—"

The intense pain made his vision darken, almost causing him to pass out.

But he didn't cry out.

He just stared intently at the rampaging fat man.

In his ears, that sound grew louder and louder.

Besides the rain, the engine, and Ninth Master's choking, there was another extremely faint but incredibly persistent sound.

Thump, thump, thump.

It was a heartbeat.

Not Professor Qin's cold data pulse.

It was Li Ke's heartbeat.

The fat man was still in there!

He was suppressed beneath that layer of faint blue data, Li Ke someone buried alive in a deep well, desperately pounding on the well cover for help.

"Ninth Master! Don't step on the brake!"

Chen Mo suddenly roared, "Crash into it!"

Ninth Master was startled.

But he was an old thug; compared to convoluted instructions, such straightforward and brutal words suited him better.

If you can't control it, then don't control it!

Ninth Master released the brake, even stomping the accelerator to the floor.

Boom!

The engine let out a dying roar.

The minivan, Li Ke a mad bull, slammed into the roadside greenery.

Ahead was a Plane Tree as thick as a man's embrace.

"Lunatics! You're all lunatics!"

"Li Ke" clearly hadn't anticipated these people being so reckless; his data logic didn't include the option of "mutual destruction."

He released Ninth Master, wanting to grab the steering wheel.

Too late.

Clang—!

A deafening crash.

The world spun upside down.

The airbags didn't deploy; this junk car didn't even have them.

The windshield shattered into a sparkling mist of rain.

The front of the car was deeply dented, emitting thick white smoke.

The immense inertia tossed everyone around, disorienting them.

Chen Mo felt as if his internal organs were about to spill out of his mouth, and his broken leg was so painful it had gone numb.

But he still moved immediately.

Taking advantage of the moment when "Li Ke" was battered and bleeding, and his data connection fluctuated.

Chen Mo, Li Ke a dying wolf, pounced from the back seat.

He used his good arm to tightly choke "Li Ke's" neck.

"Su Qingxue! Hold down his hands!"

Su Qingxue's head was covered in blood, from hitting the car window earlier, but she didn't stop moving.

She lunged over, pressing her knee into "Li Ke's" spine and twisting his hands behind his back.

Grappling Technique.

A standard textbook move.

"Let go! I am a god! You cannot..."

"Li Ke" was still struggling, spitting blood foam, the blue light in his eyes flickering unsteadily, Li Ke a faulty light bulb.

"God my ass."

Chen Mo gritted his teeth and cursed in his ear.

He closed his eyes.

Adjusted his breathing.

Blocking out the sound of the rain, the wind, and the leaking sound from Ninth Master's broken water tank.

He was searching.

Searching for the source.

The source that was making a "zzzt" electrical sound in his ear.

It wasn't in his head.

The emitter of that high-frequency signal was still on the crystal chip.

The crystal chip was stuck in Li Ke's chest pocket, forcibly taking over Li Ke's nervous system through some wireless frequency.

It was Li Ke an external Bluetooth speaker.

"Fatty! Wake up!"

Chen Mo roared, "This is your body! Don't let some old geezer take advantage!"

The body beneath him trembled violently.

That suppressed heartbeat suddenly grew stronger for an instant.

Thump!

"Ugh... Brother... Brother Mo..."

Li Ke squeezed out an incoherent groan; it was his own voice.

"There's a chance!"

Chen Mo released his grip on his neck and tore open Li Ke's already soaked shirt.

The black crystal chip, at this moment, was clinging tightly to Li Ke's chest skin Li Ke a blood-sucking leech, with a circle of blood vessels bulging around it, appearing a bizarre bluish-purple.

It had actually grown tiny probes that had pierced into his flesh!

"Don't touch it!"

Professor Qin's voice once again took over, sharp and piercing, "Forcibly removing it will cause irreversible neuronal damage! He will become an idiot!"

Su Qingxue's hand trembled.

"Don't listen to his nonsense!"

Chen Mo's hands were covered in blood as he stared intently at the crystal chip.

He was listening.

The probe was deeply embedded, indeed connected to the nerve plexus.

If an ordinary person pulled it out forcefully, Li Ke might indeed be crippled.

But he wasn't an ordinary person.

He could hear the tiny friction sounds of the probe and nerves, just Li Ke a locksmith could hear the tumblers falling into place in a lock.

"Fatty, bear with it."

Chen Mo pulled the folding tactical knife from Su Qingxue's waist.

The tip of the knife pressed against the skin at the edge of the crystal chip.

"This might hurt a little."
