Chapter 335: Chapter 307: Passing the Buck

"You should be able to find out, the name [Universal Ghost], he comes from your world, affiliated with the so-called Whale Song Organization."

Dr. Noah calmly said: "A month ago, Universal Ghost came to the current plane to execute a mission to assassinate me, but I successfully countered and killed him using the Light Prism Tower to cut off most of his limbs, leaving only the brain.

I obtained quite a bit of interesting technology from him and began pushing forward with the final plan. That is, to activate the Wormhole Generator again, using the entire high tower as a space station, teleporting to the Earth-like habitable planet Kepler 22b, 638 light-years away from Earth,

and initiate planetary transformation project, using human frozen embryos in the high tower as a starting point, to recreate human civilization once again.

During this process, [Universal Ghost] escaped control and used unknown means to send a trap program to your Earth, tricking ordinary people into this world.

His purpose is to produce a killing field task in this way, thereby summoning you over to find a way to rescue him. And he indeed succeeded.

Considering I have already exhausted his value, once you help me eliminate several mutated monsters that have infiltrated the high tower, I can hand him over to you."

"Universal Ghost?"

Talisman Nail’s expression slightly changed, even without checking the database he remembered this name, and whispered to explain: "He is a mid-level member of the Whale Song Guild, Lv25, usually responsible for network maintenance work in the slum, many people know him.

When he disappeared half a year ago, everyone thought he died in a script task."

The time flow in the script world differs from that in the real world, so the situation Dr. Noah mentioned is indeed possible.

The only issue is that this is entirely his one-sided statement. There are absolutely no corroborations.

"This explanation has washed him off too cleanly."

Li Cheng couldn’t help but mutter: "Everything is someone else’s fault, not a bit of responsibility on him, it’s simply like a non-stick pan in life."

"Indeed, it’s like my teammates in games who constantly question if I’m a bot."

Gray Rain nodded, "By the way, non-stick pans have been invented for so many years, why has no one invented a non-stick toilet?

Or just use a non-stick pan as a toilet instead."

A dual-purpose pan, right? You’re supposed to be a youthful and beautiful girl, can you mind your image a bit?

Zhao Zijing and others had weird expressions, they didn’t know that Gray Rain, as a liquid metal robot, her digestive functions are far ahead of human vertebrates, being able to directly extract energy from food, without needing digestion through the digestive tract.

Therefore, the food in her intestines is basically clean mush, not considered as feces.

In terms of cleanliness and hygiene, it even surpasses Indian curry, Korean army stew, and Philippines pagpag....

"Since you can counter-kill Lv25 Universal Ghost, why can’t you deal with a few trivial mutated monsters?"

In another armored vehicle, Dorling Gray squinted and asked: "With your technical prowess, you shouldn’t need us outsiders to help, right?"

"Normally indeed not needed."

Dr. Noah said, "But those few mutated monsters each possess special abilities and are hiding in floors that are difficult for me to handle. Using high-power weapons against them may easily damage the high tower’s structure itself.

Therefore, I need you outsiders with more flexible means."

Buzz—

The lights in the parking lot began to flicker, Dr. Noah looked up calmly and said: "Substation No.5 is already scrapped, your time and mine are both running out.

The Wormhole Generator program has already started running, once the power is interrupted, the resulting space collapse will completely destroy this planet. Unless you can escape to the moon."

The average Earth-Moon distance is 380,000 kilometers, even a carrier rocket takes five days to fly there, players naturally can’t escape that far— Even with super long-distance teleportation means, the required Spiritual Power Value is not bearable for a Transcendent below Lv35.

"Alright, I can agree to help you eliminate the mutated monsters on behalf of myself."

After deep consideration, Dorling Gray nodded and agreed to Dr. Noah’s proposal, "But I want to see the prepayment first."

"No problem."

Dr. Noah waved casually, and a six-legged crab robot stepped forward, spat out a USB drive from within it, and handed it to Dorling Gray.

"This contains part of the technical data files from the Light Prism Tower, which should be enough to pay your reward."

With Dorling Gray’s example, the Transcendents present couldn’t remain reserved and agreed one after another.

Players like Hyena, who weren’t very wealthy themselves, were even more overjoyed, silently thanking the unknown [Universal Ghost] in their hearts.

If it wasn’t for this bro, how could a few of us get this task and seize the chance to make a great fortune?

Players were joyful, in Li Cheng’s vehicle, the little girl Tina, still wearing old tattered trench coats, shivered all over, her fingertips digging deeply into her palm due to extreme anger.

"Why?!"

She stared fiercely at Dr. Noah’s projection, her trembling voice echoing through the parking lot via the car window gap, "Your machines killed seven billion people! Caused the death of my parents, destroyed everything.

Why can you be so at ease? With an expression as if nothing happened?"

If anger could kill, Noah must have been killed a million times now.

Before the disaster struck, TV, newspapers, the Internet, were flooded with songs and praises for Dr. Noah, each nation and media was extolling his scientific achievements and his contributions to humanity.

Indeed, the reason why humans hate each other on the tiny blue planet largely stems from limited resources.

If we could embark on a journey to the stars and effectively develop interstellar resources, disputes between people and countries would be greatly reduced and at worst, they can ignore each other our whole lives.

During all Tina’s childhood, she and her peers regarded Noah as the world’s greatest inventor, full of expectations for an unprecedented beautiful era.

Until now.

Dorling Gray, Hyena, and other players completely ignored Tina’s angry roars from this Otherworld native, walked out of the vehicle, and stepped straight into the elevator.

Noah’s projection paused and looked through the armored car windshield, directly into Tina’s eyes, indifferently said: "What do you want from me? An apology or remorse?

What happened has happened, and regretting it has no meaning. If hating me makes you feel better, then continue to do so."

With that, the projection dissipated on the spot.

In the vehicle, Zhao Zijing looked at Tina, whose eyes were vacant and body trembling, perhaps thinking of his past self, he hesitated for a moment and sighed and gently patted her shoulder.

Pat.

Li Cheng jumped off the vehicle and walked towards the elevator. Gray Rain was about to follow, but Li Cheng waved his hand, "You stay here."

"Eh?"

Gray Rain was stunned for a moment, understanding that he asked her to stay in the parking lot to protect Luomeng and other ordinary people, "Then on your side..."

"It will be fine."

Li Cheng casually took out the Suicide Notebook and glanced at it, confidently smiled: "I am the strongest, things that can kill me do not exist in this world, and after this battle, I plan to go back home and get married."
