The Only Player in Infinite Terror

"God, repair!"

Barely managing to hold on until his return, Ling Qi immediately called for the God-branded ambulance.

It took more than an hour of repairs before Ling Qi was finally brought back to life and regained consciousness.

"What happened? Is there still danger in the biohazard world? You don't look injured, so why did it take you so long to recover?"

Seeing that Ling Qi had fully recovered, Zhan Lan quickly stepped forward and asked with a worried expression.

"No, there's no real danger. To be precise, I was in the greatest danger in that state." Ling Qi sighed deeply.

Brother Jie, however, understood: "I see. Ling Qi, you've entered a state of inner demons, haven't you?"

As the first person in the Zhongzhou team to unlock the fourth-order gene lock, Zhang Jie has a lot to say about this.

"During my previous comeback, I also entered that inner demon state several times. In that state, I only wanted to kill every living thing I saw."

"Fortunately, probably because I have rediscovered myself, my inner demons are not too serious."

"After finding a few cities that hadn't been cleared yet and killing zombies to my heart's content, my inner demons no longer had much of an effect on me."

Ling Qi had anticipated this, and nodded slightly, saying, "That's right, after I unlocked the fourth-order gene lock, my inner demons also came along with it."

"However, my inner demons are more troublesome; they don't seem to be simple desires."

"However, it's not a big problem. After being repaired by the main god, I have established three major constraints in exchange for suppressing the inner demons and ultimately overcoming them."

"First, before I overcome my inner demons, any of my attacks will only deal one percent damage to the enemy."

"Secondly, before I can overcome my inner demons, I will only be able to unlock the fourth-order gene lock three times."

"Third, before I can overcome my inner demons, I need to do everything in my power to fight against the cataclysmic disaster and save the world and civilization."

Zhan Lan's mind raced. "The first restraint isn't a big deal. With your strength, one percent of the damage is enough to crush the enemy."

"But wouldn't this mean that Binding One and Binding Three conflict with each other?"

"If we really encounter a cataclysmic disaster, will you still be able to unleash your full power?"

Ling Qi smiled and said, "I designed it this way on purpose. The bondage is essentially an equivalent exchange with the world."

"Therefore, I must exchange what I have for it."

"The first two restraints were mainly used to help me suppress my inner demons, while the third restraint was what I relied on to overcome them."

"Because I am strong enough to save many worlds, I exchange the world's help for me to overcome my inner demons, in exchange for saving the world myself."

"Simply put, I work for the world, and my job is to save the world. Once I've saved enough money, I can overcome my inner demons."

"Well... to put it in a grander way, I've made a grand vow to save the world."

"As for the conflict between the constraints you mentioned, Zhan Lan... you don't need to worry about it."

"As far as the world is concerned, the catastrophe is naturally not within the scope of the 'enemy' defined by my 'binding', and therefore will not bind my actions."

"The world welcomes these word games and loopholes."

Zheng Zha was astonished and exclaimed, "You can do that? I've really learned something new..."

Ling Qi chuckled and pointed out to the group, "This 'binding' technique, a specialty of the Jujutsu Kaisen world, has an advantage: it can be used without needing magical power."

"Although it can only be exchanged for equivalent value, and requires giving up what you have as a price, it is actually very useful."

"After your next mission, if you have any extra side quests or reward points, I strongly recommend that you exchange them for something else."

"More importantly, many of the bonds that are made will only result in the loss of the benefits brought by the bond if one chooses to break the oath; there are almost no penalties."

"Of course, some constraints cannot be broken by oneself, such as the third constraint I set."

"If in the future, I have clearly made a vow to save the world, but I break it and choose to stand by and watch the world and civilization perish."

"Then I will be cursed by the world consciousness or the principles of civilization that are doomed, burdened with endless karma, and my own luck will be reduced to a negative number."

"If that happens, no matter which world I go to in the future, I will experience the treatment of Final Destination."

"And from now on, I will no longer be able to bind myself to the world."

Zhan Lan covered her mouth and chuckled, "It's probably because, in the consciousness of another world, Ling Qi, you've become a deadbeat who refuses to pay his debts."

Ling Qi was amused by the analogy, "Haha, Zhan Lan, your analogy is very apt, it doesn't make you a deadbeat."

Zheng Zha scratched his head. "It sounds like world consciousness has almost developed intelligence and self-will?"

Ling Qi chuckled lightly, "Of course, world consciousness is generally a fusion of the will of Heaven and human reason, and you in your multiverse all have it..."

Ling Qi was stunned. He should have known, but he had forgotten many things.

What is the name of the world consciousness again?

Zhang Jie sensed something was wrong, and a fragmented image suddenly appeared in his mind.

Those scenes seemed to take place in the past, yet also seemed to take place in the future.

He couldn't remember or see the fragmented images clearly, but relying on his intuition, he quickly interrupted, saying, "Speaking of which, because of the exchange of living days, we haven't seen each other for quite a while."

"I suggest we use our remaining reward points to redeem a few more months of rest time, how about that?"

"As the saying goes, work and rest should be balanced. We've been cultivating for so long, it's time for us to get together."

"Otherwise, I feel like our relationship is going to grow distant."

Ling Qi didn't think much of it after hearing this, and a trace of nostalgia appeared in his eyes: "Yes, ten years have passed, I've almost missed you all so much."

"Yay!" Erii cheered and jumped into Ling Qi's arms. "I want to go to Disneyland with 07-sama! And we'll travel to the moon together!"

Not to be outdone, Zhan Lan, after suppressing her feelings for a long time, finally understood her own heart after three years of reflection.

"Okay, can I join you too? I want to play with you all." She asked with a playful smile.

Erii looked Zhan Lan up and down, then suddenly realized, "So that's how it is. Lan-neechan, you finally dared to pursue Lord 07?"

"Huh!?" Zhan Lan was taken aback at first, but quickly realized what was happening.

Her fair, almost translucent face quickly turned bright red from the blood rushing to her cheeks, making her look like a boiled lobster.

"Ahhh! Little sister, what are you saying? I don't understand!" she denied repeatedly.

Erii smiled mischievously, "Is that so? Then I guess I won't be including you, Arashi-neechan, in our game~"

"No!" Zhan Lan instantly slid to her knees in front of Erii, grabbing her arm and pleading, "Please, take me with you! I'll do anything!"

Erii smiled sweetly, "Hmph~ How selfish of you, Arashi-neechan, you only ever think of yourself~"

Zhan Lan lowered her head in shame. "I love you, Ma Sai, but please forgive me. I know I'm really shameless, but I really can't live without Ling Qi."

Erii generously helped Zhan Lan up. "I expected this all along. Well, that's fine~ But as long as I live, you will all remain mere concubines~"

Ling Qi sighed and rubbed his forehead in exasperation. What nonsense was this? What movies, TV series, or anime had the little monster been watching?

However, he wasn't surprised, because in his mind, the little monster was originally a homebody.

Before she returned to cultivation, Ling Qi was worried that she would be lonely and isolated without him, so he specially put a lot of movies, novels and games that he had exchanged in his spatial bag.

Now it seems his little monster has been completely marinated.

But... I miss that feeling so much...

Seeing Ling Qi's vacant gaze return, Zhang Jie suddenly shivered and instinctively shouted, "Let's go! The Central Plains tour group is departing!"

"Destination: The Resident Evil world!"

Let's go!

And so, the entire Zhongzhou team, along with their families, returned to the biohazard world and had a good time for several months.

Zheng Zha had the most remaining reward points, so he took Loli ahead and played and cultivated for more than a year.

It has to be said that the Chaos and Harmony spell is still too powerful.

With enough magical power, by the time others enter, they will already be able to eat the peaches ripened by Zheng Zha, achieving peach freedom.

Of course, peaches that sprout from leftover peach pits are naturally inferior to those exchanged from the main god.

These three second-generation peach trees are only equivalent to grade C rare and precious natural treasures.

Even so, the members of the Zhongzhou team, who had obtained a bunch of C-grade peaches for free, still made great progress in their cultivation after playing for a few months.

Even Lori and Na'er, the wife of Brother Jie, two ordinary family members with no foundation, were forcibly infused with B-level internal energy and B-level body tempering cultivation.

The peach pits left over from the eaten peaches were naturally not wasted.

Before the exchange period ended, everyone chose to plant the peach pits, and Zheng Zha was responsible for using Chaos and Harmony to help them sprout.

It is foreseeable that although the quality of the peaches produced after they mature will further decline, the sheer quantity will completely make up for this shortcoming.

In addition, Ling Qi showed no mercy and cleanly devoured Zhan Lan, who had offered herself to him, taking her virginity.

It must be said that the Eldar's physique is really sensitive, and also really fun to play with, able to come up with many tricks that humans can't.

The joy here is beyond words for outsiders.

The happy time was short-lived, and everyone returned to the Main God Space after using up most of their reward points.

Completely relaxed, the group chatted and laughed as they waited for the main god to descend twenty pillars of light before stepping into them.

Lori and Na'er stood together in the main square, smiling as they bid farewell to their lovers Zheng Zha and Zhang Jie.

Neither they nor Zheng Zha and Zhang Jie felt the sadness and reluctance of a life-or-death separation.

After spending so much time with Ling Qi, both the reincarnators and their families were filled with confidence in this incredible being.

No matter how difficult the task, he can definitely accomplish it!

The world of horror movies? It probably isn't much more dangerous than a trip.

As their bodies were enveloped by the pillar of light, the indifferent and ruthless voice of the supreme god echoed in the ears of the five reincarnators.

"Enter the beam of light within thirty seconds, target locked, alien begins teleportation..."

Ling Qi felt as if he had fallen into boundless darkness, his consciousness in a daze.

But this period of time did not last long; it only lasted for a moment before Ling Qi fully regained consciousness.

He subconsciously used his mental power to scan his surroundings, but bumped into an invisible wall, only able to scan a limited area.

The group was in a sealed room made entirely of alloy.

Including him, a total of twenty people were fixed in place by some kind of sticky, slippery white secretion and tied to the pillar.

The ground was covered with a thick fungal carpet, on which countless fleshy roots spread.

Twenty oval-shaped, egg-shaped worms, several times larger than ostrich eggs, were firmly fixed to the fungal carpet by those fleshy roots.

Through mental scanning, Ling Qi could clearly "see" that the facehuggers, which resembled a fusion of scorpions and starfish, were curled up inside their eggs.

They wriggled their bodies, clearly having reached maturity and ready to parasitize a host.

Ling Qi snorted coldly, and twenty clusters of crimson flames appeared out of thin air inside the alien egg.

With a series of agonizing screams, the twenty alien eggs turned to ashes.

"This welcoming ceremony is quite unique; they're planning to make the newlyweds give birth to aliens right from the start."

Ling Qi didn't pay much attention to the difficulty level that the main god set for everyone at the beginning.

Even before, when he used his privileges to check and found out that this mission involved a reverse-gene Xenomorph, he knew very well that this Xenomorph was destined to be more complex than the one in the original story.

If it were the Central Continent Team from the original story, everyone would have been given a French kiss by these facehuggers at the start, thus beginning their countdown to death.

Even if the Central Continent team didn't return to the biohazard world to rack up points, any veteran player could easily resolve this crisis that came at the very beginning.

Not to mention the seasoned players who have now accumulated high scores and spent several years accumulating experience.

Ling Qi nodded and greeted Zheng Zha and the other three who had just woken up.

Then he waved his hand, controlling the red flames to burn away the secretions binding everyone, and used his mental power to awaken the still sleeping newlyweds.

However, Ling Qi's expression was strange as he looked at the group of newcomers.

"Think about it carefully, the Supreme God has already engraved everything into your minds."

"Zhan Lan, you use your mind chains to finish the explanation for them; at least you'll get a hundred reward points."

Zhan Lan smiled and nodded slightly, using the chain of hearts to connect everyone's consciousness.

Then, in the mental chat room, she explained the current basic situation and some rules of the God's Space to the group of newcomers.

"Alright, now that you know the basic situation, the new recruits can start introducing themselves one by one. Colonel Chu Xuan will be the first to introduce himself," Ling Qi instructed in the mental chat room.

The ordinary-looking man with glasses, who was called out by name after the box was opened, was unusually calm.

He merely withdrew his peripheral vision from observing his surroundings, his tone completely calm: "My name is Chu Xuan, and in the real world, I am a senior colonel at the Dragon Shadow Base, a strategic scientist."

"I just checked the mission information on my watch. Our mission for this round is to eliminate the aliens. Each member of the team will be rewarded with one B-level side quest plus 5,000 reward points."

"Based on Ms. Zhan Lan's previous brief explanation of the rules of the main god, the rewards for this task are extremely generous."

"Perhaps the Supreme God judges that few of us will live to receive this reward."

"What's even more troublesome is that just from these twenty alien eggs, we can draw conclusions that the movie's plot is basically no longer of much reference value."

"I'm not sure if we're still on that spaceship from the movie, but I'm sure we'll be facing at least one alien queen that never appeared in the movie."
