Infinite Terror: Infinite Reversal

Chapter 43 Your Biography.

“As far as I know, there’s no technology that can implant information into a person’s brain so naturally…” the bespectacled man chuckled. “I observed the surrounding environment, and it matches the description of Alien in my memory perfectly. Combining this with the information in my mind… if I’m not mistaken, this is the spaceship from Alien.”

Are you watching pirated DVDs too?

"You got it right..." Mu Xiang smiled, but another voice interrupted him.

"I said, okay? I've been listening to you spout nonsense first thing in the morning. What the hell is this place?" The one yelling was one of the newbies, or more accurately, one of the three. All three had brightly colored hair and looked impatient. The leader, dressed like a hippie, had more rings on his face than Mu Xiang's beard. He cursed, "Who the hell are you guys? We're in an internet cafe..."

Before he could finish speaking, Mu Xiang reached into Zhang Jie's pocket and pulled out the Desert Eagle. The movement was so fast that no one even saw his hand before three loud thuds were heard, and each of the three thugs lost a leg. The three collapsed to the ground before they could even react, screaming in agony.

"I don't like being interrupted when I'm speaking..."

Mu Xiang said coldly, then handed the gun back to Zhang Jie.

Only then did everyone realize that the right legs of the three thugs had been broken in the middle, and the other newly awakened people screamed in shock.

"The quality of these new recruits is actually quite good..." Zhang Jie said in a low voice to the people beside him. He was referring, of course, to the three people standing on the other side silently watching them, namely Chu Xuan, Zero Point, and Overlord.

Zheng Zha then took out a small bottle, which immediately made the three of them stare intently at his hand... because the bottle seemed to have appeared out of thin air!
This was, of course, the hemostatic spray that Zheng Zha had taken from the Blood Kiss. ​​He was about to walk over to the three thugs who had fallen to the ground to stop their bleeding.

"No need... I can't possibly bring someone like that along. Rather than wasting hemostatic spray on outsiders, it's better to let them stay as they are." Mu Xiang reached out and grabbed Zheng Zha. "That way, they'll feel more involved, do you believe me?"

The people around him hadn't quite reacted yet—Mu Xiang had always been a carefree and easygoing figure in the Main God Space, quite different from his behavior in the previous horror movie, and even more so now, so they hadn't quite adjusted. Especially Li Xiaoyi, who thought Mu Xiang would only make sarcastic remarks, but he hadn't expected him to react so strongly to those thugs just now.

"Why is that? He must have read the novel, otherwise there would be no need for him to do this... But why would it be necessary to do this?" Li Xiaoyi murmured to himself.

However, Chu Xuan raised his eyebrows slightly and glanced at Mu Xiang without making a sound.

Seeing the screaming newcomers distance themselves from them, Mu Xiang said nothing. He turned to the three standing there: "The three of you are clearly not ordinary people in terms of composure. Aren't you going to introduce yourselves? You should know the rules of information exchange, right?"

Chu Xuan adjusted his glasses and said, "Chu Xuan is currently a researcher."

"What a fine researcher... that's not entirely a lie."

However, the other two reacted more strongly than anyone expected: "You are Chu Xuan?"

【what happened? 】

Chu Xuan smiled helplessly: "It seems someone has recognized me... Let me add some details. I am Chu Xuan, a senior colonel, currently working at the Longyin Military Base in Beijing, responsible for research projects and the like. To be honest, I wouldn't normally consider the Alien spaceship, but the information in my mind and the anomaly of the watch's locator have confirmed this absurd guess. These can corroborate each other... That's all my information. I hope you can show some sincerity."

So he raised his watch, but it was on a different wrist than the God Watch... and then showed off the base's high technology.

Why is he wearing his watch like that? Did God steal my old watch?!

Mu Xiang smiled and said, "So you are Chu Xuan... It's a pleasure to meet you." He then shook hands with Chu Xuan and looked at the other two.

Zero didn't reach out, and said coldly, "You can call me Zero, but I don't want to answer anything else."

Mu Xiang still held out his hand and said calmly, "Very well, then I won't say anything more."

"A professional assassin, specializing in sniping, is that enough?" Zero finally reached out and shook hands with him, asking in return.

“I’ve already explained the rules for information exchange, and of course I will abide by them,” Mu Xiang smiled. “Your decision is right. We won’t hide anything from you, and we’ll even find you suitable weapons to utilize your strengths.”

Mu Xiang wasn't an unreasonable person; he simply wanted to maintain the upper hand. The three people opposite him weren't exactly saints, and if he didn't seize the initiative, he'd end up like Zheng Zha in the original story… Using information asymmetry to exert pressure was a good, peaceful tactic. He wanted them to know that he wasn't begging them to trust him; if they wanted information, they had to exchange it first.

Another burly Russian man casually shook Mu Xiang's hand: "Kampa Rovsky, an international mercenary, nicknamed Overlord, a top-notch gunner... Your hand is strong."

Mu Xiang glanced at the three of them: "Very good. If you are willing to cooperate with the same sincerity in the future, we should be able to become great teammates... You are much better than the average newcomer." Then he looked at the other newcomers: "You can come over and introduce yourselves, or you can refuse... The horror movie is about to start, Zhan Lan, go and explain it to them."

Still, no newcomers dared to come forward and give any introductions, whether out of fear of a "thug" like Mu Xiang or because they thought the group of people were a bunch of lunatics. However, Zhan Lan went to explain the situation and returned with a smile, clearly having received 100 reward points.

At this moment, Mu Xiang also introduced his team's situation, but the information he revealed was similar to the three people's self-introductions. Chu Xuan adjusted his glasses: "Is there any other evidence? We need some things that we can personally verify before we can place our complete trust in you."

[Heh, completely, heh...]

Mu Xiang sneered inwardly, then gestured for Zheng Zha to bring out the hemostatic spray and bandages: "Hemostatic spray, just use whatever you have to cut yourself and see how it works."

Overlord took out his dagger and tossed it to Chu Xuan. Chu Xuan then slashed himself, the spurt of blood causing Zhan Lan and a nearby female office worker to scream in terror. After applying the spray, the wound immediately scabbed over and closed. Chu Xuan nodded, skillfully applied a bandage, and then handed out the two items; Overlord and Zero also tried them.

After all three of them had tried it, they completely accepted the explanation... rather than being pressured by Mu Xiang.

Chu Xuan adjusted his glasses and said with some surprise, "According to you, almost all of you just entered in the last round... But why do all the veterans, including Zhang Jie, look up to you as the leader? And you are the only veteran who reacted to my name. Logically, you shouldn't know this."

Mu Xiang shrugged: "Did you see the notification on the watch? Side quests and reward points, just like in a game. Although there are general missions, there are also other side quests that you can explore... I just happened to explore more, so the things I exchanged for were stronger."

Then he laughed maliciously: "I even finished the Resident Evil 2 storyline ahead of time, so I got much more rewards than my teammates."

Zhang Jie and the other two were stunned. They didn't know why Mu Xiang was starting to deceive them... but they didn't say anything, clearly indicating that they wanted to stand on Mu Xiang's side.

Li Xiaoyi, who had never discussed these matters before, was stunned. He hurriedly asked, "Why do we need to finish Resident Evil 2 ahead of schedule? That..."

"Why can't we finish ahead of schedule? Is it your father or something?" Mu Xiang looked at Li Xiaoyi defiantly. If Chu Xuan really had that kind of brain, he would definitely be able to see that something was wrong with this team, and that something was off about some of the members...

Come on, Chu Xuan, let me see how you'll use this against me.

Li Xiaoyi was speechless after being choked up. He had been tricked by Mu Xiang again, and then he stopped talking.

Suddenly, the door to the room opened, but there was nothing outside. Clearly, the horror movie had begun!

Apart from the three thugs who were lying on the ground with broken legs, the rest of the newcomers hurriedly ran out, saying things like "Who are you trying to fool?" Watching the young couple running in front, Mu Xiang pushed up his glasses.

So, the missing person is actually Li Shuaixi from Golden Dream?

Zheng Zha hurriedly shouted, "Hey! This is your first horror movie. You are much more vulnerable than us, and you are also in much more danger than us in this horror movie! If anyone should be gathering intelligence, it should be us, don't wander off!"

Zero sneered, "Do you think they're gathering intelligence?"

“It really is intelligence gathering,” Mu Xiang laughed, “and they’re risking their lives to gather intelligence for us.”

The others understood his implied meaning and all looked at him. Zhan Lan and Zheng Zha were somewhat stunned; they hadn't expected Mu Xiang to be so cold to these newcomers.

“My priority is the survival of myself and my companions, so sacrificing someone who isn’t even willing to give me a shred of trust is within my moral framework.” Mu Xiang seemed to sense their confusion, and Zhang Jie nodded in agreement as he spoke. Then Mu Xiang peeled a lemon candy, pressed his hand to his chest, and walked towards the door amidst a series of clicks: “Brother Jie, Zhan Lan, Zheng Zha, put on your armor too. Everything will proceed as we discussed before…”

Before closing the helmet, he turned to look at Chu Xuan: "As for your last question... Haven't you read 'Beautiful Brain - The Biography of Chu Xuan,' a biographical series of world-renowned scientists?"

"what?!"

This offhand remark left everyone present completely stunned. Only Chu Xuan, watching Mu Xiang's retreating figure, adjusted his glasses in bewilderment.

Alien has officially begun! Do you guys think the pacing is a bit faster? Because many plot points have been changed, the narrative focus will be on the new storylines rather than rehashing the original plot. Aside from explaining Mu Xiang and Chu Xuan's schemes, I'll try to avoid explanatory text. Thank you for your support with monthly tickets and recommendation tickets, please vote!
