Life Dungeon Game

A sigh came from Viana's end, then she paused and asked again, "Uncle Jess, is there anything else I can do?"

"Um,"

He Ao went into the bathroom, washing his hands as he pondered, "If the services offered by the Trison Group are indeed connected to the Phoenix System, then the samples we can use for reference are not limited to those election results."

He paused for a moment, then said, "Vianna, I need to sort things out and gather some information for further research. I'll ask for your help again if I need your expertise in the future."

“Okay,” Viana said with a smile. “I’ve already sent the research report to your email. Uncle Jess, feel free to contact me anytime if you have any questions. I’m going to eat now, bye-bye.”

"Bye-Bye."

He placed the wooden box on the table and hung up the phone.

Then he opened the research report sent by Viana in his email. The report was not formal and was written very briefly, but it contained a large amount of Viana's complete test data, as well as the various commercial services that Viana had investigated that Trison might use the Phoenix System.

He pondered for a moment, then pressed a button on his earpiece. "Eve, help me gather information on all the business services offered by the Trison Group mentioned in this email."

"Ok."

Eve's voice rang out softly.

The Phoenix system is not without its problems. Over the years, as long as the data is large enough, some flaws will inevitably be exposed.

Of course, these defects will most likely be fixed by the Trison Group soon.

He Ao lowered his head and looked at the wooden box on the table.

The sky was gradually darkening, and the light on the wooden box was finally fading away.

The energy hidden in the wooden box is about to be fully converted.

He Ao stroked the wooden box.

The contents of this wooden box are the first thing the mysterious man attempted to create. After failing to create it due to resistance from Jess's father, the mysterious man turned to trying to create a gene serum.

This is the mysterious man's first choice, containing his initial goal.

He reached out and placed his hand on the lid of the wooden box, waiting for the final extinguishing of that radiance.

During this time, he finished the last bowl of recovery potion that Haixi brought him, allowing his body to maintain a relatively good condition.

When the bright moon appeared behind the glittering skyscrapers, the light on the wooden box finally dimmed completely and returned to the silent night.

And with this moment, the light dimmed.

In the pitch-black sky

In the middle, it seemed as if some invisible shadow was emerging.

A cold, chilly wind brushed against He Ao's cheek.

He Ao activated his super memory and raised his head.

A massive, chaotic, illusory shadow covered the entire sky, with pervasive purple mist spreading out from all directions.

Those chaotic thoughts that had penetrated deep into his soul echoed once again in the depths of He Ao's mind.

Fine drops of fresh blood seeped from his skin, covering his entire body in a dark red hue.

A terrifying consciousness surged within the illusory shadow, growing clearer and clearer, as if a sleeping person was trying to awaken from endless chaos, while the purple mist that filled the sky rushed madly toward the wooden box in front of He Ao.

The silent wooden box began to vibrate violently, as if buzzing.

He Ao stared at the bizarre scene, a grin spreading across his face, bright red blood seeping from his gums and covering his white teeth.

He stared at the terrifying, illusory shadow, at the all-consuming purple mist, and opened his mouth.

"roll!"

The buzzing wooden box stopped for a moment, and the purple mist that had been rushing towards it seemed to be driven away and scattered in all directions.

hum-

The terrifying explosion echoed in He Ao's mind.

The thoughts that had been eroding the depths of his soul seemed to have been robbed of something important, and his angry will burned like a raging fire, tearing at He Ao's soul with reckless fury.

Two lines of bloody tears spilled from He Ao's eyes.

However, he did not move backward at all; he kept his eyes fixed on the front.

A massive, illusory tentacle split off from the shadows in the sky and reached out toward Heo.

It was like an angry giant hand reaching for He's neck.

However, the giant hand ultimately failed to touch He's body, and the terrifying consciousness that tried to awaken from its slumber ultimately failed to do so.

Endless chaos engulfed everything, covering the turbulent consciousness and forcibly returning it to slumber. The enormous, illusory shadow also dissipated beneath the stars.

Just as Heo first 'saw' it in the mental hospital.

He watched as the shadows dissipated, and as the starlight once again filled the room.

He lowered his head and stared at the wooden box in front of him, and the final question was finally answered at this moment.

"I see."

He deactivated his super memory, leaned forward against the edge of the table, and slowly opened the wooden box in front of him.

What came into his view was the empty interior of the wooden box.

The mysterious figure will appear in the next chapter; this dungeon should be released in the next day or two.

Please vote for this super long chapter.

Chapter 594 Tombstone (Extra-large chapter, please vote!)

A gentle breeze blew the decorative plastic leaves on the artificial tree, brushing against the cheeks of passersby.

The dim, yellowish sunlight fell on the damp stone pavement.

Amidst the crisscrossing stone paths stand silent tombstones. These artificially cast stone tombstones, like solitary trees, form a desolate forest.

And in the middle of this jungle, stood an equally solitary figure.

He held a bouquet of flowers in his arms, wore a crisp shirt, carried a long bone axe and a wooden box on his back, and had a gentle face, looking refined and cultured. He stood quietly in front of a tombstone.

A gentle breeze ruffled the stray hairs on his forehead, and the setting sun stretched his shadow long along the stone path.

"There seem to be very few people visiting the cemetery today."

A woman wearing a short jacket walked towards him from a distance, talking as she went.

"Today is the day of the midterm elections, and everyone is either voting or working."

He Ao stared at the photo on the tombstone in front of him.

The tombstone clearly shows the marks of time, appearing somewhat old, and even the specially processed photograph seems to bear the traces of time.

The man in the photo is smiling and looking ahead, his gaze gentle and kind.

Have you recovered?

Hai Xi slowly approached He Ao and asked softly.

“You’ve recovered,” Heo replied, turning to look at Haixi. “Your potion is truly amazing.”

When he raided the second laboratory, he fought with men in officer uniforms, injuring his back and shoulder. After that, without resting, he went to the wilderness to meet Christos, and on his way back, he hunted down several alien beasts despite his injuries.

After returning to the city, he even used his blood to draw the magic circle on the wooden box, confronting that illusory and hidden existence directly.

Even a C-grade body can't withstand such a drain.

To be precise, a typical C-class car would have been dead long ago.

Even He Ao, theoretically, would need at least half a month of rest and recuperation to recover from such an injury, but with the help of Hai Xi's medicine, he fully recovered in less than a day.

Although he still has scars on his back, they no longer significantly affect his fighting ability.

"As long as it works."

Hai Xi stopped beside He Ao, gazing at the tombstone in front of him. After a moment's hesitation, she asked in a low voice, "Who is this?"

"My father."

He Ao took a bunch of flowers from his arms and placed them in front of the tombstone.

Hai Xi opened her mouth, but finally whispered, "Please accept my condolences."

“It’s alright,” He Ao looked up at the sunset outside the huge glass curtain wall. “He has been gone for many, many years. Many times, I can’t even remember what he looked like without looking at photos.”

Then he slowly turned around and looked at the tombstone beside him. "How is DeSanchez now?"

"He spoke from yesterday morning until this morning, and his voice is completely hoarse. He just took the medicine I prepared and is resting in the safe house. He has two more speeches tonight."

Hai Xi answered slowly.

“His speeches took him to every major block in Waitland, and every show was packed. For him, it was a faint light shining from the abyss, so he didn’t want to waste a single bit of that light.”

He Ao bent down and...

A bouquet of flowers was placed in front of the tombstone next to it.

Hai Xi's gaze followed He Ao's movements, looking at that tombstone.

The photo on this tombstone is of a smiling, somewhat scholarly-looking woman. In contrast to the serious and somber atmosphere around her, the woman in the photo seems to have a radiant light in her eyes, looking full of vitality.

"This photo was chosen by my mother when she was still alive. It was taken before my father passed away, during a vacation they went on together,"

He Ao looked up and glanced at the photo. "After her father passed away, she picked and chose this photo after many choices. She said she looked best in this photo, so it had to be used."

"When this photo was taken, her father was beside her, holding her hand."

He Ao straightened up, looked at the person in the photo with a bright smile, and smiled slightly in return.

Then he turned around and continued along the stone path.

Hai Xi followed beside him, took a silver mechanical bracelet off her wrist, and handed it to him.

This bracelet doesn't look light. It's made entirely of mechanical parts, and there's a small hole on the outside of the bracelet where you can vaguely see a thin metal wire.

"There is a sensor switch inside this bracelet. When you throw your wrist forward, it can pop out the metal wire inside the bracelet. When you pull it back, it can pull the metal wire back. The operating logic is not difficult, but if you want to use it flexibly, you may need to practice."

This is Hai Xi's weapon. She came here to find He Ao because He Ao said he wanted to borrow this bracelet.
