Life Dungeon Game

A giant staring wide-eyed, unwilling to close his eyes.

Cracks spread from the giant's body. He turned around, raised his hand, and the bone sword and black broadsword reappeared in his hand.

He carried the bone sword on his back and placed the black broadsword next to it.

Behind him, the giant's body, as large as a small mountain, suddenly shattered into countless scattered pieces of flesh.

He raised his hand slightly.

A silver, concave metal block appeared in his hand.

This is the only thing inside the flesh giant that still has some energy flow after the energy circuit collapsed.

It appears that due to the unique physical structure of the flesh giants, after their flesh disintegrates and they die, the extraordinary characteristics possessing high rank within them are released at a faster rate than those of other deceased extraordinary beings.

However, the metal block in He Ao's hand at this moment is different from the wooden-textured building block described in the research records of 009-2. It is entirely in the shape of metal, and the smooth metal surface occasionally wriggles like flesh and blood.

A mixture of distorted machinery and chaotic pollution emanated from the metal block.

This metal block is no longer as pure as 009-2; with the intertwining of two forces, it is probably difficult for it to give birth to intelligence.

The moment the metal block fell into He Ao's hands, it wriggled and immediately emitted a twisted pollution, attempting to corrode He Ao's body and absorb his flesh and blood.

Then He Ao raised the hand with the mechanical core ring, turned it behind his back, and gently tapped the surface of the metal block with the mechanical core ring on his finger.

bang bang —

With a crisp sound from both hands, the pollution in the entire metal block instantly contracted in the next second, and the wriggling body also became still, turning into an ordinary metal block.

He Ao smiled and put away the metal block.

The metal block doesn't convey any information about its use; its true capabilities will likely require further exploration.

After all, it was a product of the combination of angelic remnants and mechanical contamination, and He Ao didn't know what use it could have.

He walked back to the control panel, which was half-damaged by the flesh giant. He shifted his feet and finally stopped in front of the screen where he was reading research materials. He used his bone sword to pry open the control panel shell under the screen, revealing the main unit structure inside, which was independent of the outside world.

Sure enough, this was a separate 'backup host'.

This main unit probably survived by escaping the clutches of a carpenter and the pollution from machinery.

The 'carpenter' feared that further damage to the backup host would increase mechanical contamination, so he only preserved the impact.

This influence from 'order' preserved some order for the backup host despite the mechanical contamination, ultimately placing it in a middle ground between usability and inoperability, thus giving He Ao the opportunity to read the data stored within.

This backup host should also have some critical operating privileges.

The hand wearing the mechanical core ring reached into the control panel, allowing the tiny tentacles to connect to the main unit's circuitry within.

At this moment, the host is disconnected from the internet and has no artificial intelligence, so it can be directly controlled by the mechanical core ring.

He Ao sensed that the backup host still had some usable permissions, and a thought struck him.

With a soft sound, the tightly closed circular gate in the center of the circular control panel slowly opened, revealing a dark and deep passage, as if leading to the depths of darkness.

It's not dark yet! It's afternoon! (I'm sure)

Chapter 744 A Kind Person Passing By (Long Chapter, Requesting Monthly Tickets)

Newland City-State, Vinland

The dim night enveloped the bustling city, and sudden gunshots rang out on the quiet streets.

Amidst the dangerous commotion, monsters that were closing in on the tall building were falling one after another.

Standing in the towering office, Kodo drew back the curtains beside his desk and glanced down at the seemingly endless horde of monsters surging from the city outside the window.

In the distance, there seemed to be flashing car lights approaching. In this dark city, there were still people who seemed to have not been gathered together, like headless flies, dodging the monster on the streets.

"how is the situation?"

Kodo picked up the walkie-talkie and pressed the call button.

"Boss, we can still hold on for now,"

Intermittent laughter, accompanied by gunfire, came through the walkie-talkie: "These monsters are a piece of cake for us. These guys have no idea where they are. You don't need to come down; we'll take care of them in no time."

"it is good."

Kodo responded and lowered the curtains.

He looked at the walkie-talkie in his hand.

In fact, in the past, whether dealing with the supernatural or facing dangerous superhumans, he was always at the forefront. This is why so many people in Newland City-State could genuinely follow him even when he was not in his native territory.

This was the first time he hadn't actually been on the front lines.

"You seem to be hesitating?"

In the full-length mirror standing to the side, a figure exactly like him smiled and looked at him through the mirror, "You only need to say one word to get your subordinates to let those little cuties in immediately,"

The figure walked into the depths of the mirror and took a bottle of champagne from a cabinet in the mirror world. "You know, they will doubt your decision, but they will never question it. They will obey your orders, just as they have always done."

Wave--

The champagne cork was forced open by the internal pressure, and the flying cork streaked across the space in the mirror, as if it had also streaked across Kodo's heart. "Then, utter chaos will descend upon this world, and the great being that dwells high above the boundless starry sky will descend upon this world, and the new world will begin."

The figure picked up a champagne glass, walked to the mirror, and gazed at Kodo outside the mirror. "Now, all you need to do is pick up the walkie-talkie, say one word, and we will all become the masters of the new world."

Kodo stared silently at the person in the mirror. He turned his head and glanced at the window covered by the curtains. In a daze, he seemed to hear the screams of a car crashing into a horde of monsters.

He lowered his head, glanced at the walkie-talkie in his hand under the gaze of his reflection in the mirror, and slowly sat down in the chair at his desk.

His hands trembled slightly.

A profound silence permeated the entire office.

The figure in the mirror wasn't in a hurry. He took a wine glass from the cabinet that was open in the mirror and poured the champagne in his hand into the glass.

The clear liquor, with a few bubbles, flowed down the side of the swirling glass.

"Aren't there any other options?"

Kodo held the walkie-talkie, his arm trembling almost uncontrollably.

"This is the final end of this world,"

The reflection in the mirror brought the wine glass to its lips, lightly...

I took a small sip of champagne.

"The only difference is who will start this journey. Now, fate has chosen us. It would be foolish of us to turn our backs on fate's choice, wouldn't it?"

"You need not worry about your subordinates; in the new world, they will all be immortal."

"And what about the rest of the world, and this city?"

Kodo opened a drawer, shakily took out a cigar, cut off the ends, put it in his mouth, then opened another drawer and took out a cigar lighter.

“You’re not from this city, so why should you care about their lives?”

The figure in the mirror put down his wine glass and smiled as he watched Kodo shakily light the lighter. "As for the others, isn't it normal to suffer some necessary losses when the new world arrives? As the leader of the new world, isn't it a good thing for you to eliminate those who might rebel against you in advance?"

"Ah, that sounds really good,"

Kodo's trembling hands slowly guided the flame to the cigar. He glanced at the window, hidden behind the curtains. Beyond that window lay roaring monsters, scattered blood, and displaced people struggling against death. Fear and sorrow blanketed the night.

"After your so-called new world arrives, will you still be able to see a peaceful sunrise outside this window?"

His hands stopped trembling, and he calmly and steadily brought the flame to the cigar in his mouth.

Just as the flame was about to touch the cigar, his body suddenly froze, like a scene from a movie where a pillar is stuck, and he stood still.

"It seems you ultimately don't want to make the right decision."

The illusory figure in the mirror put down the champagne and glass in its hand, took a step forward, stepped across the mirror, and walked step by step to Kodo's front, looking at the blazing flame on the lighter.

His fingers pressed against the flame, and at the same time, 'Kodo' released his hand, the flame went out abruptly, and the lighter fell onto the desk with a soft 'bang'.

He looked up at the cigar in Kodo's mouth, and manipulated 'Kodo's' body to remove the cigar.

"A flaming cigar, quite a name. As soon as it touches a flame, it explodes violently. At close range, it can easily kill a D-level superhuman and severely injure a C-level superhuman. You were willing to come back here with me, wasn't it to find this cigar to take me down with you?"

Kodo stared at him, his eyes wide.

"Unfortunately, you overestimated yourself."

The figure gave a calm smile. "Since you're unwilling to speak up yourself, I'll help you."

Immediately afterwards, Kodo watched as his body lost control, slowly reached out, grasped the walkie-talkie on the table, and pressed the talk button.

At that very moment, his movements stopped again.

He stared at the figure before him, his entire body stiffening as if in a struggle for control. He slowly opened his mouth and said, word by word, "I haven't lost yet. Don't even think about it."

"Good willpower,"

The illusory figure looked at Kodo and smiled, "But it's all over."

Kodo stared at his hands, watching helplessly as his body spiraled out of control, his finger pressing the talk button on the walkie-talkie again.

boom!

At that very moment, the tightly closed office door was suddenly kicked open.

"Kodo, what's wrong with you?"

Chen Lin, carrying a large, ring-pommel sword, burst into the office and surveyed everything around him.

During his previous conversation with Kodo, Kodo's words showed obvious evasiveness, and he realized that something was wrong, so he directly asked the people of Moonlight about Kodo's whereabouts and came over.

In his view, Kodo sat behind his desk, holding a walkie-talkie, his body stiff.

Upon seeing him, a hint of joy appeared on Kodo's face. He looked at Chen Lin and said, "Kill me!"

Chen Lin: ?

“I disagree with your little minister in many ways,” Kodo said, looking at Chen Lin and speaking slowly and deliberately, “but he said something very good: I can…trust…you!”

After saying that, Kodo seemed to lose control of his body and shut his mouth completely.

Chen Lin immediately realized what he meant—it was what He Ao had said to them earlier: 'We can trust our companions who are facing death with us here and now.'
