Chapter 599 I'm Not Used to You Being So Serious

Following Feng Xue all the way to the Cellinina Central Control Building, Lou Shuang felt indescribable excitement. Although she was a killer, this was the first time she had ever encountered the feeling of fighting with dozens or hundreds of evil people who were indiscriminately smashing and looting on the street.

Logically speaking, it would be difficult to eliminate Celinina's numerical advantage, but since they encountered only lunatics who were obsessed with their own business along the way, it was not as difficult as they had imagined. This also gave Lou Shuang some confidence in Feng Xue's crazy plan.

The only problem is-

"Brother-in-law, why are we attacking the Central Control Building at this time?" Lou Shuang shot off half of his head and turned to ask Feng Xue, who had dyed his hair blonde, was wearing a blue suit and a skull-printed tie.

However, Feng Xue only touched the completely locked door of the Central Control Building twice, then retreated ten meters and said:

"It's not for any reason, I just think it's a waste to let this window go."

As he spoke, Feng Xue suddenly raised his thumb, and under Lou Shuang's confused gaze, he easily blew open the 20-centimeter-thick sturdy door of the central control building.

"So what's the waste..."

"Okay, okay, don't ask anymore. This guy sometimes goes crazy. Or, have you ever seen a powerful architect who doesn't go crazy?" Su Yeli suddenly rushed in front of Lou Shuang and showed a sweet yet dangerous smile at a distance that was uncomfortably close.

Lou Shuang took two steps back cautiously, but still quickly followed, and said suspiciously as she walked:

"Could it be that this nightmare of yours bewitched my brother-in-law?"

"Then you think too highly of me!" Su Yeli spread her hands, looking as if she didn't understand what you were saying. Lou Shuang's expression became more suspicious, but she didn't ask any further questions until she confirmed that Feng Xue's G·I force field showed no signs of being contaminated by nightmares.

However, as several people walked into the central control building, Lou Shuang's expression suddenly became somewhat ugly.

The entire building seemed to have experienced a brutal fight, with twisted machinery and flesh and blood scattered everywhere. The walls, floors, and even the various sophisticated-looking instruments were all stained scarlet.

"Brother-in-law, have we come to the wrong place? This central control building... could it be the killer from before?"

"Probably not." Feng Xue's expression was also a little solemn. He originally thought that he would see a group of high-ranking officials from Cellinina using the control building as the last line of defense to resist, but in the end...

"It should be the influence of the nightmare." Little Loneliness, who had shrunk back into Feng Xue's mind because of the dull atmosphere, spoke weakly:

"These people all have traces of being contaminated by nightmares. Their situations should be similar to mine, but they died before they could complete the transformation. It's possible that the direct contact after the nightmare arrived caused their consciousness to collapse, and then they started killing each other."

Contrary to Feng Xue's expectation, Xiao Gu Du, who seemed to be afraid of everything, was surprisingly calm when he saw the scene of corpses everywhere. He grabbed a cyber psychopath who followed them into the central control building and threw him out the door, blasting away the lunatics who followed in, and then continued the topic:
“Is it possible to contaminate so many people in an instant?”

"Brother-in-law, be careful!"

Lou Shuang's exclamation suddenly interrupted Feng Xue's communication, but Feng Xue's keen perception had already captured the sudden murderous intent without Lou Shuang's reminder. He swung out a long stick, and with a sound like tearing cloth, a strangely shaped corpse was nailed to the wall by the stick.

"Be careful, this is Nightmare! Guitar Hero!"

As the little loneliness that suddenly became serious emerged from Feng Xue's consciousness, the long-lost guitar man jumped in front of Feng Xue, and very abstractly pulled out an eighth note that looked like a sickle from the hole in the center of the guitar. With a turn, he split the "corpse" into two halves.

But the swiftness of the attack was secondary. What really surprised Feng Xue was that the moment the corpse was cut open, it turned into a handful of ashes and completely evaporated.

"That was a close call. This kind of nightmare cannot be touched with a structure that comes into contact with the body, otherwise it will be easily contaminated!"

Little Lonely spoke seriously, nervously grasped Feng Xue's hand holding the Perfect Stick, and after a careful inspection, he breathed a sigh of relief -

"It looks like it's not very polluting, but I have to be careful next time... ah, sorry, I was so self-righteous!"

Seeing that Xiao Gudu began to transform into a wild hammer snake again, Feng Xue actually breathed a sigh of relief. Just a moment ago, Feng Xue thought that this girl was possessed by some strange creature.

But now it seems...

Perhaps that is the attitude that a “hero opening a new era” should have.

"It feels like a demon is confusing me..." Huang Shengsheng dealt with the enemies who were chasing her, and then she came forward, looking at the broken limbs thoughtfully, and analyzed them with her thinking logic from another world:
"This contamination was carried out almost simultaneously. It doesn't seem like a single demon could have done it... Either there are demons in this building that are equal to the number of corpses, or the demon has somehow contaminated everyone at the same time."

"It's the Internet! Or rather, it's an auxiliary prosthesis!" As a modern person, Lou Shuang finally reacted -

"Those so-called madmen before were not because their prostheses were out of control, but because nightmares polluted the Internet?"

"It's not impossible..."

Feng Xue's expression was a little subtle, not because he didn't expect the nightmare to come or the large-scale pollution, but because -

"You actually thought of the same thing as me!"

"What? Brother-in-law, you..."

Lou Shuang's expression became a little horrified for a moment, and then she glared at Su Yeli and said:

"You, this nightmare, are really bewitching my brother-in-law!"

"Don't make a fuss, it's not what you think." Feng Xue stopped Lou Shuang's wild thoughts at the first moment, and then found the emergency passage of the central control building (that is, the safety passage, there is nothing confidential about it) according to the information obtained during the dream. However, compared to the first floor where there were piles of corpses that had suddenly gone crazy while escaping, although there were some bloodstains on the road, it was not that uncomfortable.

The few of them walked all the way to the top of the tower, and they did not encounter another nightmare similar to the previous corpse, but Lou Shuang clearly noticed that whether it was Feng Xue or Huang Shengsheng, or even Xiao Gudu who had just recovered from the Nochu form, they all put on serious expressions. Only Su Yeli still looked relaxed with a smile on her face.

"Nightmare?" Lou Shuang perked up, and with the gentle rhythm of her fingers, a pistol appeared in her hand. Although it was not loaded with real bullets, the Star Ring people themselves had a "fear of firearms". Therefore, even if it was a structural firearm, it could retain a stronger lethality when making a judgment.

"..."

At this moment, Feng Xue suddenly raised his hand and made a well-known tactical move. The other four people immediately stopped their actions, and Feng Xue kicked open the door of the main control room, which was also the director's office!
"Bang!" With a loud bang, the door suddenly flew into the room, and at the same time, a malice so strong that it was unbearable erupted.

Almost instantly, Feng Xue felt his mental state begin to decline, but almost at the same time, a not-so-serious piano sound suddenly exploded.

The originally resentful atmosphere was dispersed by the charming vocals, and then a steel fork stabbed forward -

"Strong wind, rise!"

A horizontal yellow airflow suddenly rolled up, and the black figure was pulled out of the room by Huang Shengsheng. The steel fork followed closely and nailed the black figure directly to the ground. Xiao Gudu, who was a beat slower, immediately stopped the guitar hero's charge.

Six sixteenth notes fell like boomerangs, nailing the black shadow firmly to the ground, and the little guitar man pulled out a quarter note, like a samurai drawing his sword, and completed the kaishakunin without any frills.

"So fast!" Lou Shuang, who was about to pull the trigger, looked at the over battle in disbelief. For a moment, he suddenly doubted his own fighting ability.

"Looks like it's time to prepare for the ideal country!" Lou Shuang thought secretly in her heart. Feng Xue had already stepped into the hall. Unexpectedly, but reasonably, the main control room was intact at this time.

"That's right. After all, the nightmare wants to contaminate the entire city with people equipped with auxiliary prostheses."

Feng Xue muttered something and sat down in front of the main console. Then he found an embarrassing problem -

He is not very good at these electronic products...
He turned his head to ask for help, but behind him, there was an ancient man, an even older monster, and a female ghost who only knew what she knew...

Ok……

Although he didn't hold out much hope, he still said to Lou Shuang who was thinking about her own ideal country:

"Lou Shuang, can you control these things?"

"Well, I learned some basics from my family. It's just operating the host. If it doesn't involve intrusion, then I can barely count as knowing it."

Seeing that she finally had a chance to show her abilities, Lou Shuang immediately stepped forward and connected to the main control system. While checking the basic settings, she kept switching between the street surveillance cameras.

"Brother-in-law, what are you going to do? Announce that we have occupied the Central Control Building and declare independence from Star Ring?"

At this time, Lou Shuang also let it go and asked fearlessly. Feng Xue shook her head and said:
"You just need to turn on the city's public broadcasting channels. Also, what about those people who were infected with networked prosthetics? Have they been contaminated and turned into nightmares?"

"Only a few are contaminated, and their conditions are very strange..."

Lou Shuang zoomed in on a surveillance video, and Feng Xue immediately looked over to see that a dozen cyborgs had gathered outside the Orchard Building. However, just like before, they felt like they were delivering food...

"This is spreading the source of pollution." Little Lonely said a little seriously:
"In the past... well, in my time, I have seen similar situations, where a nightmare contaminated some ordinary people and sent them to their deaths. Their deaths would form an area with a strong nightmare atmosphere, making it easier for other nightmares to descend. If it is not resolved quickly, there will be more and more nightmares."

"So this nightmare is organized? It belongs to the vanguard?" Feng Xue was unfamiliar with the basic settings of this world, but when he saw Lou Shuang's expression of "So that's it", he knew that this should not be an isolated case in this era.

but……

Speaking of organization…

Feng Xue couldn't help but think of the war system mentioned by Mu before. So, could these nightmares be the vanguards sent by the so-called war system to expand its influence and descend upon some residents who have not become kings?

if it is like this……

The smile on Feng Xue's face became even more intense, and he immediately said:
"Prepare the broadcast first, and then help me check the current situation in other cities in the Star Ring. It doesn't need to be too detailed, just a brief understanding will be fine. If you can't find anything, you can contact local contacts."

"Okay, this won't take too long... Um, by the way, do you need a broadcasting room? There's a professional recording studio here that's used for important speeches. It's the third room out. It's highly automated, and from what I can see here, it shouldn't have been damaged."

Lou Shuang didn't know what Feng Xue was trying to do, but she couldn't help but think of the great scene when they met again, as if the whole world was shouting the name of the King in Yellow, and her heart was filled with excitement.

Feng Xue was also happy when he heard this and nodded:
"That's great. Just help me with the basic settings, and we'll adjust the rest ourselves. But you should check other cities first."

"Okay." Lou Shuang operated the keyboard with one hand, and with the other hand constructed a virtual machine out of thin air, dialed a number, and after a long busy tone, a slightly impatient voice sounded:

"I'm very busy now, please complete the commission within 20 words!"

"My last name is Lou."

Lou Shuang only uttered three words, and immediately heard a slightly rapid breathing from the other side, and then heard that the voice became a little nervous -

"My dear aunt, why did you come to Celinina? Do you know how chaotic the star ring is right now?"

"How do you know it's me?" Lou Shuang frowned slightly, but the voice sighed:

"Besides you, who else in the Lou family would call me at this time? Qingyun's orders are almost overwhelming. Are they crazy or what? They come to Xinghuan at this time? That person is with you...ah, bah! I didn't ask anything, nothing!"

Although Lou Shuang was very curious about how Qingyun had so many orders, she would know the answer after just a quick glance in the family group chat. So she put aside her curiosity and brought the topic back on track:

"Forget it, let's not talk about anything else for now. Just help me check the status of other cities in the Star Ring. Simple information will do."

"No problem, there's no need to check. Anyway, all the technological products of the Star Ring have problems. According to the current intelligence, it should be related to the kings of the Dreamland Technology Department. Anyway, it's similar to the content of the Mechanical Crisis movies, animations, and TV series that Hongying and Qingyun often shoot. Many people now suspect that these propagandas have finally accumulated results.

"Anyway, the general situation now is that the machines are out of control, and then a large number of nightmares descend in panic. The big cities can withstand it, but some marginal cities have been conquered by nightmares. However, intelligence shows that these nightmares are actually just tools. My informant provided information, claiming that highly intelligent dreamland residents have appeared in some conquered cities."
