The square was enveloped in silence, broken only by the distant sound of peace doves flapping their wings. Some were aware of the situation, while others remained oblivious.
Even those who knew were reluctant to accept the truth. The last topic of discussion at the Global Security Conference had lasted only five minutes, yet it revolved entirely around Lin Yi. They understood that the so-called verification of Lin Yi was merely a formality to appease the public.
However, many still believed in the Consciousness that this was just a misunderstanding; how could Lin Yi, who had done so much for humanity, possibly be a Zombie?
At that moment, Lin Yi spotted Li Xianzong, who seemed to notice Lin Yi's gaze but acted as if he hadn't seen him. Addressing the crowd, he said, "Deman Chairman, since it has come to this, let us conduct a verification in front of the heads of state present, our journalist friends, and the public here!"
With that, Li Xianzong clapped his hands, and several doctors in white coats entered through a side door. They appeared well-prepared, bringing with them a set of complex instruments.
Just then, a familiar roar echoed in Lin Yi's ears.
A Zombie? Lin Yi furrowed his brow as he noticed several formidable individuals pushing a metal Cage toward the square.
"Roar—" The Zombie emitted a low growl; its decayed body looked shriveled, likely due to days without food. The roar sounded weak and feeble.
The ordinary citizens were startled by the sudden appearance of a Zombie in the square and instinctively stepped back. However, realizing they were in the United Nations square eased their fear somewhat; curiosity took over as they examined the creature.
Lin Yi looked at the Zombie and felt a pang of sympathy. In the past, he would have swiftly dispatched such creatures without hesitation. But now, he sensed an invisible barrier pressing down on him, making it difficult to move.
At that moment, Aibolon stepped forward from the crowd. He raised his hands to signal for silence and then spoke: "In just a few moments, my term will come to an end. I never expected to encounter such an event before my tenure concluded. However, I would like to express my personal support for Mr. Lin Yi.
I believe that someone who has fought tirelessly against Zombies is undoubtedly a hero deserving our respect! Yet now that there are doubts surrounding Mr. Lin Yi, I must reluctantly ask him to endure this situation for the sake of preventing panic."
Lin Yi saw the regret in Aibolon's eyes but understood that there was nothing he could do to change his identity. He couldn't comprehend why everything had unfolded so suddenly.
As they spoke, another transparent enclosure was pushed forward. Deman approached and gestured for Lin Yi to enter the transparent room.
Lin Yi gently placed Lucy on a bench beside a fountain, feeling as if the whole world had abandoned him. Not a single familiar face was there to help him.
The transparent room was divided into two sections; the one Lin Yi occupied had only a door and a round hole the size of an arm. After he entered, one of the doctors came in with a medical kit and gestured for Lin Yi to extend his arm through the hole.
At that moment, the area was filled with cameras and reporters eager not to miss any shot. If this turned out to be just a misunderstanding, it would be inconsequential. However, if it were proven that Lin Yi was indeed a Zombie, the news team that broke the story would undoubtedly gain significant prestige.
No one wanted to miss this opportunity; it was a chance for fame, even if it came at the cost of someone else's downfall.
The doctor drawing blood from Lin Yi revealed only his eyes, which appeared vacant, as if he were performing an utterly mundane task.
Lin Yi watched as the doctor secured his arm and then took out a syringe, preparing to pierce Lin Yi's skin.
But in the next moment, the doctor realized that Lin Yi's skin was as tough as the most resilient leather, nearly impossible to penetrate. With Nine-Star Combat Power, even ordinary bullets had no effect on him.
However, the doctor quickly regained his composure and turned back to retrieve another syringe from the medical kit. Lin Yi glanced at the slender needle and felt a twitch in his eyelid. The craftsmanship and material of this needle were identical to those of his Silver Soul Silver Soul Battle Blade; it was also forged from single crystal metal.
At that moment, an energy wave emanated from the doctor. Before Lin Yi could react, the doctor swiftly inserted the needle into Lin Yi's vein. Instantly, bright red blood tinged with a hint of gold flowed from Lin Yi's body.
The doctor's movements were rapid; in the blink of an eye, he had drawn nearly half a tube of blood. Without hesitation, he injected it into a Test Tube with great care.
Only then did Lin Yi have time to be astonished; he realized that this doctor possessed combat power at the Nine-Star Level! However, unless one had extraordinary strength, even with a single crystal forged needle, it would be impossible to pierce Lin Yi's skin.
Yet unease grew within Lin Yi; it was clear they were well-prepared to put him in grave danger.
He watched as the doctor left and then saw him extract another syringe of fluid from the Zombie confined in a metal cage.
The doctor then displayed both tubes of liquid before everyone present. He took out a straw and drew a small amount from Lin Yi's blood into it before placing it under an Electron Microscope for analysis and imaging. He then placed the fluid from the Zombie under another Electron Microscope and stepped back. The newly developed Electron Microscope had self-observation capabilities, eliminating the need for doctors to operate it manually.
At that moment, everyone was watching, even Lin Yi. He had a premonition that he would fall into an irretrievable abyss because of this.
The test results from the Electron Microscope were projected directly into the void, and everyone could see that the data from the tests formed a continuous line.
As Lin Yi looked at that line, his heart gradually sank to the depths of despair. His blood test results were rising in alignment with those of the Zombie's fluid test!
Suddenly, Lin Yi felt a wave of energy ripple around him. However, when he released his Psychic Power to take a look, he saw nothing.
"Boss, it's Charlie. They are all prepared to push you into an irretrievable state. While the results haven't come out yet, you should run!" A familiar voice suddenly rang in Lin Yi's ear; it was Charlie, who claimed to be a member of the royal family.
Lin Yi twitched his lips but held back from speaking. It wasn't that he didn't want to run; he just knew that once he did, there would be no turning back!
"Boss, this is a trap. You can't hesitate this time!" Charlie's voice continued to echo in Lin Yi's ear, and Lin Yi could sense that Charlie was right beside him!
"Can you still turn invisible?" Lin Yi focused his energy and whispered into Charlie's ear, asking something unrelated to himself.
"I can only remain invisible for a short time; after all, using the wall-passing technique requires my body to become ethereal! But this state won't last as long as Sister Ouyang's; I'll reveal myself soon!"
Charlie said anxiously. The two green and red lines not far away were becoming increasingly similar, and many bystanders had begun to realize what this situation implied.
"Do you think I can escape? There are more experts here than you can imagine!" Lin Yi had already noticed that at least ten Super Experts with Ten-Star Combat Power had quietly arrived since he got here.
He could certainly tear through the void, but every time he escaped to another location, he was quickly discovered. It seemed that they had a way to pinpoint his exact location. Given that, even if he could escape, ultimately it would be futile; it would be better not to run at all.
"Regardless, escaping for a moment is better than not escaping at all. If you don't leave now, you'll probably never get the chance again!"
In the distance, the projection in the void showed that the two sets of test data were about to connect completely. Meanwhile, those around them were left dumbfounded as they realized that the hero they admired was actually just a disgusting Zombie. What kind of feeling was that?
Then, two virtual holographic projections slowly overlapped, and the green line representing Lin Yi's blood test results completely merged with the red line representing the Zombie fluid test results. What this meant was clear to anyone with a bit of common sense.
Aibolon looked at the final result, his face pale. He could only see his lips moving slightly, but in the end, no words came out.
"The results are obvious, Mr. Lin Yi. You are a Zombie!"
Unlike Aibolon, Deman clearly accepted this outcome. In fact, there was a faint smile in his eyes as he looked at Lin Yi.
"Kill him!"
Suddenly, a loud shout erupted from the crowd, and then it spread rapidly like a plague.
"Kill him!"
More and more people joined in the shouting, their faces filled with anger and hatred, as if they had a deep-seated grudge against Lin Yi.
"Kill him, kill him!" The waves of voices surged one after another, and soon the entire square was filled with people demanding justice. Each person had transformed into a judge, ready to execute the former National Hero who had now become a Zombie!
Lin Yi felt as if his heart had stopped. The world around him suddenly felt so foreign that he began to panic, a tremor rising from his very soul.
