Chapter 1060 Tsk, so ugly

Inside the laboratory of the Busephalos.

Dr. Narud is leading the researchers from the Moebius Foundation to begin the most basic research on the Xel'Naga artifact fragments they have acquired.

As the door opened, Dr. Narud slowly turned around, then his eyes widened.

If the visitor were just Prince Valerian, that would be one thing, since in theory, Dr. Narud is the actual controller of the Mobius Foundation.

Valerian... is he both a financial backer and a shield?

But Valerian being followed by a Protoss is a completely different story.

Moreover, this Protoss... his gaze made him very unhappy.

However, Dr. Narud concealed it very well; his strange expression lasted only for a moment, and Valerian didn't even notice.

"Dr. Narud, has the research on the Xel'Naga artifacts already begun?"

“Your Highness, this is the most wondrous creation ever seen by mankind… So yes, research has begun, and it will continue for a long time to come…” Dr. Narud sighed with feigned regret, “It’s probably difficult to see any results in the short term.”

“It’s alright, we have plenty of time… but right now, I need to speak with Dr. Narud alone…”

After saying that, Valerian waved his hand, signaling the researchers to put down their work and leave for the time being.

However, they did not move, but instead cast questioning glances at Dr. Narud.

"Are you all deaf? His Highness the Prince wants you to leave!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the researchers put down what they were holding and filed out.

By this point, even if Valerian was slow to realize things and had great trust in the Moebius Foundation, he would have come to his senses somewhat.

Has his word lost its power?

“Dr. Narud, before we begin, I would like to ask you to explain this yourself.”

“Your Highness, it’s not their fault. After all, they are just researchers whose rule is to follow my instructions in the lab…” Dr. Narud bowed to Valerian in apology. “I promise that this will not happen again.”

“That would be for the best.” Although Valerian was a kind and enlightened leader, he could also fly into a rage when others challenged his authority. “I hope this is the last time.”

“This is absolutely the last time, Your Highness.”

“Very good.” Valerian’s expression gradually calmed down, and then he introduced Dr. Narud, “You can tell from her appearance that this is the Protoss commander. She has some questions for you.”

“To be precise, I am a high-ranking executive officer… If you are not familiar with this position, just think of me as the highest-ranking officer of the Protoss.” Li Chengfeng slowly floated forward, looking down at Dr. Narud in front of him.

Dr. Narud felt every hair on his body stand on end under that gaze.

Are those eyes... truly just the eyes of a Protoss? Why does this Xel'Naga creation give him such a powerful sense of oppression?

“Dr. Narud… no, I should probably call you Lieutenant Samir Duran.”

“Samir Duran!?” Valerian was taken aback. “Do you know what you’re talking about?”

"In your mind, Samir Duran is a Black man, right?" Li Chengfeng shook his head. "But unfortunately, for Samir Duran, skin color is actually not important. He can become any appearance he wants..."

"Transformation?" Valerian glanced at Dr. Narud with a hint of fear, then took a few steps back, shielding Li Chengfeng in front of him. "He's not human!?"

"Humans? To him, humans, Zerg, and even Protoss are all inferior scum, mere tools to achieve his goals." Li Chengfeng held up a finger. "Because... he's just a Xel'Naga."

As soon as he finished speaking, a surge of psionic lightning erupted from his fingers and shot towards Dr. Narud's body.

The moment the lightning struck Dr. Narud's body, he let out a piercing scream.

"My lord! Do you really want to trust a Protoss!?"

"They are just like the Zerg, garbage that is hindering the Terran Empire's progress!"

Valerian watched this scene but made no move to step forward and stop it.

Before he began to have doubts about Dr. Narud, he was relatively slow to react... but after Li Chengfeng planted the seed of doubt, every action and detail of Narud was observed by Valerian with a magnifying glass.

"Are you kidding me? With Dr. Narud's advanced age, theoretically he should have been half-dead the moment he was struck by psionic lightning... And here you are, shouting slogans with such vigor?" Valerian said with disdain, pointing to his face. "Looks like you really think I'm a fool?"

Valerian's taunts instantly made Dr. Narud's feigned pain vanish.

Li Chengfeng nodded silently.

The truth is, she didn't use much psychic energy to attack Dr. Narud at all.

And then the other party, acting like a drama queen, pulled this stunt...

It was quite a few laughable moments.

But it doesn't matter... as long as he confesses.

“Alright, Dr. Narud… no, Samir Duran, are you sure you still want to face me with this ridiculous appearance?” Li Chengfeng slowly floated forward. “After all… you are a Lesser Xel'Naga, Amon’s servant and assistant…”

Dr. Narud suddenly raised his head, and his once human eyes instantly turned blood red and emitted an eerie red light.

"Are you... really just a Protoss!?"

“A genuine Protoss.” Li Chengfeng said, while tugging at the nerve bundle at the back of his head. “Look, the Kara connected to that bastard Amon is all there.”

"...Hahahaha! Foolish Protoss Khalai! Even knowing that Kara has a problem, you still chose to embrace her!"

"No, no, no, I was just using this thing as a fishhook..." Li Chengfeng raised his hand again, and a much stronger psionic storm descended on Narud's side.

However, the opponent did not scream as before, but stood calmly in the center of the psionic storm.

As the psionic storm continued to tear at Dr. Narud's body, his body soon began to change.

The original human form gradually crumbled into fragments, revealing what lay beneath...

An indescribable body.

This is also the point that Li Chengfeng most wants to criticize Blizzard for...

When he first saw Xernagar, he seriously thought it was in the wrong movie.

Or perhaps the artists at the time were captivated by Lovecraft's works...

That's why they came up with this kind of hybrid mess.

"Tsk, it's really ugly."
