Rocot: Reborn

Dr. Li's breathing quickened. She grabbed the USB disk. The cold metal touch made her calm down a little. Regret? Is there anything she regrets more than that Rocot is still alive? That man, the man she watched go crazy and destroyed, has now returned to her life like a ghost.

"How... did he do it?" Dr. Li's voice trembled. She didn't even dare to look directly into Lin Feng's eyes, as if some terrible answer was hidden there.

Lin Feng did not answer directly. He just gently stirred the coffee. The black liquid swirled in the cup, like a vortex leading to an unknown abyss. "Some things are more terrible than death, Dr. Li." His tone was low, as if he was talking to himself, or as if he was giving a warning.

Dr. Li took a deep breath and tried to control her emotions. She was not the kind of woman who would only escape when faced with a problem. She wanted to know the truth, no matter how terrible it was. She opened the laptop she carried with her and inserted the USB drive. A simple folder popped up on the screen, containing only a video file.

The video had no title or date, only cold darkness. Dr. Li took a deep breath and clicked the play button.

The screen gradually lit up, and a familiar scene came into view - the underground laboratory of the institute. However, unlike before, the laboratory was in a mess, with burn marks and twisted metal fragments everywhere, as if it had experienced a tragic battle.

A figure slowly walked out of the shadows. He was tall and straight. Even with his back to the camera, one could still feel the chilling sense of oppression. It was Rocot! He was still alive!

Dr. Li's heart suddenly sank, and she stared at the screen closely, afraid of missing any details.

Roccod turned around, his face was a bit sickly pale, but his eyes were flashing with a terrifying light, as if burning with the flames of hell. "See, Dr. Li, this is what happens when you try to stop me." His voice was low and hoarse, like a whisper from the depths of hell.

The scene changed, and a huge metal device appeared. It emitted a faint blue light, and the space around it was distorted and deformed, as if it would collapse at any time. Dr. Li recognized this device. It was the device that Rokod used to open the space-time tunnel!

"I told you, I want to reshape this world." Roccod's voice became louder and louder, more and more crazy, "And you will be a witness to my new world!"

The scene switched again, and this time, the person who appeared in front of the camera was... Lin Feng? !

Dr. Li's eyes widened in disbelief. What did she see? Lin Feng stood beside Roccod with a meaningful smile on his face, as if everything was under his control.

"No, this is impossible..." Dr. Li muttered to herself, her mind in a mess, unable to understand what was happening before her eyes.

"I'm sorry, Dr. Li, I disappoint you." Lin Feng's voice came from the computer. He still had that gentle smile on his face, but in Dr. Li's eyes, it was more terrifying than the devil's grin. "Everything you see is true..."

The video ended here, leaving Dr. Li sitting alone in the cafe, pale and trembling. She felt like she had fallen into an elaborate trap, but she was unaware of it.

Lin Feng, who is he? Why does he want to help Rokod? What do they want to do?

Countless questions swirled in Dr. Li's mind, but she couldn't find an answer. She suddenly remembered what Lin Feng had said before: "After reading this, you may regret it..."

Now, she finally understood the meaning of this sentence.

Because she found herself trapped in an abyss more terrifying than death...

Dr. Li's breathing became rapid. The aroma of coffee at the tip of her nose was like some kind of inferior fragrance, which was disgusting. She closed the computer with force, but the darkness of the screen seemed to be mocking her inner fear. Lin Feng, this man who had always been gentle and harmless in her eyes, was actually in the same group with a madman like Rokod? !

She suddenly recalled the scene when Lin Feng first appeared in the institute. It was a rainy night, he was soaking wet, like a lost lamb, and begged her to take him in as an assistant with pleading eyes. At that time, Dr. Li felt sorry for him, but now thinking about it, there was no helplessness in those eyes, it was clearly the cunning of a beast eyeing its prey!

"Damn it, what on earth was I thinking!" Dr. Li cursed in a low voice, fear entwined her heart like a vine. Roccod wanted to reshape the world, Lin Feng was his accomplice, but she foolishly brought them into the research institute, to the device that could destroy everything!

"No, I have to stop them!" Dr. Li stood up suddenly, and her coffee cup was knocked over, and the dark brown liquid splashed all over her without her noticing. She had only one thought now: she had to rush back to the institute, even if she had to do everything she could to stop those two lunatics!

However, when she stumbled out of the cafe, she found that the whole city was in a strange silence. There was no one on the street, and cars were parked on the roadside with their lights flashing, but no engine roar could be heard. The street lights flickered, casting mottled light and shadows, adding a bit of weirdness.

"What's going on?" Dr. Li looked around, feeling more and more uneasy. At this moment, she saw a large screen not far away suddenly light up, and a familiar figure appeared on it - Rokod!

He was still wearing a black windbreaker, but at this moment, his face was filled with an almost crazy excitement. He looked at the camera, his voice hoarse and sharp, like the piercing sound of nails scratching a blackboard: "Dr. Li, are you looking for me?"

Dr. Li felt horrified. She stepped back subconsciously, but she heard Roccod's voice continue to come from the screen, with a cruel smile: "Don't hide, you can't escape. Look around you, Dr. Li, the world is different now."

Dr. Li looked up suddenly, and found that the familiar city night scene had completely changed. The lights of the tall buildings were all turned off, and replaced by a strange blue light, dancing in the night sky, as if breathing, and as if mocking.

"See? This is my world, a brand new world!" Roccod's voice echoed in the empty streets with a creepy magic. "In this world, there is no order, no rules, only power! And you, Dr. Li, will become my most loyal believer!"

As Roccod finished speaking, the sky over the entire city was dyed a strange blue. Dr. Li stood on the deserted street, fear like an invisible hand, tightly strangling her throat, making it almost impossible for her to breathe.

She closed her eyes in despair, Lin Feng's understated words echoing in her mind: "You will regret it..."

Yes, she regretted it. She regretted why she had been so kind to take Lin Feng in, and why she had participated in this crazy research...

But now, it's too late to regret.

Because this world has gone completely crazy...
