The night before the promotion

Chapter 44 Dance [Thanks to the leader of Miban17784]

The climax of "Humoresque" is not full of humor and joy as its name suggests. On the contrary, its melody presents a sad feeling, like a clown who, after making everyone laugh, is grieving alone in a corner.

Countless sharp blades were unsheathed, and the overlapping humming tore the melody into pieces. For a moment, the scene of the clown grieving alone turned into a crime scene.

Zhou Si could imagine that the clown was lying in a pool of blood with his skin torn apart. He turned his head dying and revealed a face that looked exactly like Zhou Si's.

Countless flashes of light burst out, and figures were reflected on the shiny sword. The mirror surfaces reflected each other, like a spiral, endless corridor.

Zhou Si pulled the trigger, and the angry bullet knocked down the guest closest to him. At the same time, the narrow blade was unsheathed, bringing with it a cold light.

The deadly weapon named Shattering Sword, with the full activation of the muscle fiber bundles, swept out a huge arc, and the continuous sound of metal collisions continued, creating a series of sparks.

Just like in martial arts novels, where a peerless master forces back the crowd of attackers with one sword, all the sword blades that collided with the narrow blade were broken at the moment of contact due to the huge force it carried and the high-frequency slashing.

This is Zhou Si’s Yitian Sword, his Dragon Slaying Sword.

The broken blade flew in all directions, and the edges of the fragments glowed red, like sparks bursting from a furnace.

Under the comprehensive siege of guests and servants, Zhou Si managed to find a chance to breathe. He stood on the long table and felt like a star on stage.

Now, it’s time for Zhou Si to use his narrow blade to carve his name on their chests.

With a crisp sound, the narrow blade broke away from Zhou Si's palm, and the nanotubes extended rapidly, expanding its attack range several times.

Zhou Si swung the narrow blade with all his might, and the deadly edge ruthlessly covered the guests and servants around him.

Their arms were cut off, their heads were smashed, and their torsos were left with hideous scars like burns. The harsh roar of metal colliding echoed in the air, as if it was a symphony of the end of the world.

In an instant, an unprecedented hurricane of swords and knives swept through the room. The external discharge system was operating at full capacity, and dazzling arcs of electricity wrapped around the blades, breeding a thunderstorm like the wrath of a god in the center of the storm.

The bodies of the guests and servants were shattered in this vortex of destruction. A large amount of fragments and debris flew everywhere. The jumping lightning turned into snakes all over the sky, shuttling and devouring in this dance of death, turning all living things into nothingness.

The disaster brews to its limit and breaks out!

The narrow blade fell to the ground fiercely, cutting off the long table under Zhou Si's feet, and destroying the remains of the woman who was moaning on it.

Zhou Si's body suddenly dropped an inch. He stood on the ground covered with debris. The narrow blade fell in front of him and embedded deeply into the marble, breaking it into pieces.

A series of dense electric currents flashed by, followed by dazzling arcs of light and sharp noises, and the guests and servants fell to the ground. Some of the incarnations had their bodies completely destroyed, while others still retained a certain degree of mobility, dragging half of their bodies and struggling in vain on the ground.

There were also some incarnations whose driving batteries were damaged. They spontaneously combusted silently, and clusters of flames rose up, burning their steel bodies into black skeletons.

Zhou Si looked forward and saw a man with a tiger head standing there. His expression was a little blurry, and his face kept switching between the beastly tiger and human, but neither of them was his true form.

"Huh... That's really scary, Doctor Zhou."

The tiger lowered its head, and the narrow blade fell at its feet. If it had been extended one meter further, it would have been able to cut the tiger in half from top to bottom.

Before, Zhou Si would not have made a mistake, but now it is different.

Zhou Si's vision became blurry and double. No matter how he reviewed the skills he learned in mental training, the tiger became more and more blurred and distorted in his eyes.

His body seemed to have completely transformed into an animal, with thick hair growing from his exposed skin, his skeleton growing section by section, and his muscles expanding together, until he became a giant over two meters tall, casting a cold look at him.

Zhou Si cursed, "This damn place."

He noticed the subtle changes. Although there was no longer that sweet fragrance at the tip of his nose, every time Zhou Si took a breath, a whine came from his cracked spirit.

Hallucinogens poured in from the vents, spreading all around, and the concentration doubled.

Shan Jun and others will not be affected by the drugs. The iron body does not need to breathe and has no so-called neurons. But Zhou Si is different. This is a death trap reserved for him. Even if the narrow blade can cut through everything, it cannot change the cowardice of flesh and blood.

Just like that night on the viaduct, Zhou Si didn’t have much time left.

There were two bangs coming from the shoulder. The previous attack consumed a lot of electricity. The two cylindrical batteries ran out of power and automatically fell off the shoulder.

Zhou Si raised his hand and pulled the narrow blade out of the marble. The nanotubes were retracted, allowing the sharp blade to be reconnected to the prosthesis. Then, Zhou Si took out the last two cylindrical batteries and filled them into the external socket one by one.

More footsteps were heard.

Zhou Si looked in all directions and saw many servants coming out. They formed a new encirclement and turned into a high wall, separating Zhou Si from the tiger.

No one knows how many incarnations there are in the ninety-sixth floor. It seems that the tiger has hidden a mechanized army here.

The tiger pointed above his head and bowed to Zhou Si apologetically, his facial expression showing a mocking expression.

"I'm sorry, Dr. Zhou. Please forgive my poor hospitality."

Shan Jun stepped back step by step, "The real guest tonight is still waiting for me upstairs, I need to go entertain her first."

Zhou Si's angry roar rang out.

"Tiger!"

He ran forward wildly, with the narrow blade emitting a cold light. At this time, countless servants came forward, waving swords and dense gunfire rang out.

The pouring rain of bullets enveloped the surroundings.

The disguise mask could only interfere with the servants' lock, not make Zhou Si invulnerable to swords and guns like Achilles in the myth. In the frenzied rain of metal, some scraped Zhou Si's skin, ripped his clothes, and left a bloody mark, while others splashed on Zhou Si's body like splashing water.

A series of muffled sounds came from Zhou Si's chest and abdomen. The huge force carried by the bullet was like a heavy punch, hitting him and making his blood boil.

Zhou Si’s pursuit was abruptly interrupted, and he could only hide in a bunker on the side in a panic.

The rainstorm followed Zhou Si's footsteps, turning the palace-like luxurious decorations into ruins.

"Damn..."

Zhou Si endured the dull pain in his body and lifted up his clothes. His bulletproof vest was torn to pieces and several bullets were embedded in the polyethylene plate.

Fortunately, all the bullets in this round were stopped by the polyethylene insert.

Although some bullets penetrated the plug plate, they were still firmly stuck in it, leaving only bruises and shallow scars on Zhou Si's skin.

Zhou Si did not take it lightly. After enduring continuous shooting, the polyethylene plate had become riddled with holes, and he did not think it could withstand the next round of shooting.

The servants were like an excellent tactical team. They fired alternately, constantly suppressing the surroundings while moving forward steadily.

The encirclement gradually narrowed, like a noose, it was put around Zhou Si's neck, tightening little by little, leaving purple bruises and bringing a terrifying feeling of suffocation.

The feeling of suffocation, pain, fatigue, and despair of gradually collapsing spirit... Zhou Si closed his eyes silently, as if something suddenly melted in his heart.

Is that the principle he has always adhered to? Or is it some kind of belief, or a spirit as hard as steel?

At this moment, whatever they are, everything is collapsing and falling into chaos.

A collection of neurons bound together, a collection of broken thoughts, a collection of extinguished anger.

The man in the mirror walked out of the darkness. He had the same face as you. He watched you fall into the abyss. Then he turned and left, taking your identity and walking towards the golden light.

Your life ends just like that, coming to an abrupt end, just like your ridiculous life.

Therefore, the sad man looks back at you at the end of the darkness. You recognize that old face. It seems to be Chen Wen Ge, but it also seems to be you who is old and simple decades later.

He spoke to you, reading out characters that sounded like a cheat code, the code for the underlying logic of the program, an oracle from eternity past.

——That spell.

"██████."

Zhou Si opened his eyes, as if he had just experienced a comfortable sleep and woke up full of energy in the early morning.

Bt-24 also opened his eyes with him.

After a series of struggles and flaps, BT-24 successfully rode the strong airflow back to the ninety-sixth floor. It flew through the golden clouds of the holographic projection like a flying bird burning with golden fire.

His eyes passed through the huge glass curtain and accurately locked onto all the servants in the room.

Connect with thoughts!

It was as if he had opened a God’s perspective, and vision from different angles overlapped in Zhou Si’s eyes.

He saw clearly the servants who were gradually surrounding the bunker. Every step they took and every angle of their guns were like frozen pictures and simulated 3D graphics. Everything was reflected in Zhou Si's eyes with incredible clarity.

"second round!"

Zhou Si roared and rushed out of the shelter, and by a very "coincidental" chance, he collided with a servant. The narrow blade ruthlessly pierced through its body, holding it in front of him like a shield.

A large number of bullets hit the servants, and sparks flew everywhere.

The servant beside him quickly moved his position and adjusted the shooting angle, trying to hit Zhou Si's back, but his movements had already been seen by BT-24 and Zhou Si.

Zhou Si didn't even bother to look, he just raised the shotgun behind him, emptied the bullets, and knocked the servant down in one fell swoop.

Abandoning the shotgun, Zhou Si picked up the narrow blade and completely chopped the servant in front of him into pieces.

"Ha ha!"

A crazy laugh rang out from Zhou Si's throat, like a full-throated cheer when a roller coaster reaches the highest point, and then... falls!
Zhou Si dodged and moved between the servants and the shelters. His brutal fight destroyed the shiny marble, burned the embroidered murals, and turned everything that pretended to be prosperous back into its ugly essence.

They seemed to be fighting for their lives, or dancing gracefully. One dancer after another was eliminated and fell to the ground like puppets without their souls.

In a blink of an eye, a large number of servants fell down in large numbers, like fallen leaves, and continued to pile up on the ground, forming a sea of ​​steel corpses.

A stray bullet shot from somewhere hit the crystal chandelier above the head. After shaking violently for a few times, it fell towards the marble floor like a collapsed tower.

Zhou Si turned flexibly. With the help of bt-24, he could see everything happening around him, even the falling trajectory of the crystal chandelier could be calculated easily.

He stayed there for a moment, and then countless dazzling crystals with silver-plated metal structures fell down from beside Zhou Si.

The transparent crystal shattered into pieces, like a large piece of glowing ice chips, or like countless twinkling stars, sparkling.
