Chapter 336: After the modification: Chapter 308 Era

Inside, there were several large elevators. Following the principle of "splitting up in a horror movie means actively splitting up," all players stayed in the same elevator to travel to the fiftieth floor.

Click.

Bai Jixiong transformed into an Eye Demon (a fantasy creature, appearing as a blue sphere with a diameter of nearly two meters, seven eyes, a bloodthirsty mouth, and numerous tentacles connected to tiny eyeballs),

silently releasing the Eye Demon’s inherent mind sensing ability to pull Li Cheng, Zhao Zijing, and Talisman Nail Drawing Dragon, trusted individuals, into a mind network for communication.

"Hey, hey, hey, can you hear me?"

Bai Jixiong asked, "Do you trust what Noah said?"

"Hard to say." Talisman Nail Drawing Dragon analyzed, "There are too many dubious points in his story. Firstly, [Universal Ghost] is a mid-to-high-level member of Whale Song Guild, known for transforming their body data, capable of escaping when defeated.

It’s hard to imagine what method Noah used to capture Universal Ghost.

Secondly, if the trap software was uploaded back to our world by [Universal Ghost], why doesn’t he simply explain the true situation, especially urging Whale Song Guild’s friends and family to rescue him? Why go through such a convoluted process, harming so many people.

Thirdly, Noah claims that all Mutated Monsters are created by his invented bacteria mutations.

If he has the technical prowess to create such monsters, why hasn’t he thought of inventing vaccines or viruses to permanently solve the monsters wandering outside?

Noah surely didn’t tell the truth, at least not the whole truth."

"Compared to a complete lie, nine parts truth and one part lie are even more destructive."

Li Cheng also said, "It’s like when I searched for seeds on the forum for half a day, and the 800GB I finally downloaded wasn’t the complete series of "Calabash Brothers"."

??? What version of the complete series of Calabash Brothers can be 800GB? 4K, HDR, AI restoration wouldn’t reach that size.

Talisman Nail Drawing Dragon grumbled internally, only to realize that in the mind network, all thoughts would be converted into verbal communication.

"That’s something you wouldn’t know."

Li Cheng casually said, "I downloaded a deepfake AI-modified private customized version, replacing the seven Calabash Brothers with Ma Jiaqi, Ding Chengxin, Song Yaxuan, Liu Yaowen, Zhang Zhenyuan, Yan Haoxiang, He Junlin."

Whoa, Time Teenage Group!

Despite gradually getting accustomed to the aphid-like thought processes, Talisman Nail Drawing Dragon couldn’t help but feel tense.

How could someone remember this string of names so clearly, like listing treasured items?

Zhao Zijing remained calm and had the leisure to ask, "They’re all seven-member groups, not BTS? Not BTS?"

"If it’s not a domestic idol group, I don’t watch it. I prefer full Chinese teams."

Astrophysicist Carl Sagan once proposed a theory named "The Dragon in My Garage," similar to Occam’s Razor, both advocating reducing unnecessary entities.

Currently, all information players have received comes from Dr. Noah. Mere imagination and internal discussion wouldn’t verify truth, evidence collection is needed to verify credibility.

Li Cheng casually chatted while the elevator had reached the fiftieth floor, and the metal door slowly slid open.

As Dr. Noah said, it seems this high tower was initially constructed with the future function of a space station in mind.

The corridor had a square cross-section, walls and ceiling were lined with hooks for zero-gravity conditions, and airtight doors were installed at intervals.

Crab-shaped six-legged robots walked in front, using keys to open the airtight doors one by one.

As they moved forward, the lights became increasingly unstable, constantly flickering. Different models of battle robots were inexplicably halted along the way.

Consulting the integration goggles, the robots showed no external damage, but the internal high-density batteries were completely drained of power.

"The Mutated Monster entrenched in the power distribution room can draw power remotely, block electromagnetic communications, causing me to have no complete image at hand."

Dr. Noah’s voice came from the six-legged robot, "Your task is to eliminate it without damaging the power..."

Before finishing the word "room," the six-legged robot suddenly froze, arms drooping. Clearly, it was remotely drained of power.

"It’s coming."

With an alert expression, Dorling Gray drew a dueling rapier from the void, and the other players also took out their weapons and looked down the dark corridor.

Tap, tap, tap.

Sticky footsteps echoed at the end of the corridor, followed by heavy breathing and nails scraping metal walls.

An unspeakable horrifying aura surged forward, everyone’s hair stood on end in an oppressive sensation... Nearly on par with Divine Calamity.

Zhao Zijing flipped his hand, taking out several red glow sticks for cave exploration from his storage ring, moving them with telekinesis to the dark end of the corridor.

Red glow sticks illuminated the walls, everyone could see the source of the sticky footsteps.

"Whoa, Nezha!"

At the end of the corridor appeared a mutation over two and a half meters tall, resembling a human, with strong and sturdy legs, and an upper body of three heads and six arms.

The three heads included a black person, a yellow person, and a white person, and their expressions were sadness, joy, and anger respectively.

Six arms held various weapons like beast bones, metal rods, and chain anchors.

The overall style resembled early popular [dark version of Journey to the West page game advertisements].

Standing across the corridor, Dorling Gray pursed his lips, took a half-step forward, and retrieved a bottle of perfume from his Backpack, spraying himself twice.

Players in the killing field employ a myriad of tactics; mere good looks wouldn’t allow one to climb ranks, directly cozying up to rich patrons, or becoming a lover of European Heavy Industry officials.

Dorling Gray specialized in Charm Attribute, with all his skill items related to charm.

This bottle of Fine Quality perfume named [Instinct Desire] could temporarily enhance his charm and persuasion skills, even towards non-human intelligent species.

"Hello, can you understand what I’m saying?"

Dorling Gray gently asked the three-headed six-armed Mutated Monster, his previously arrogant tone now replaced with utmost gentleness and kindness.

His other skill detected that the monster had cognitive abilities comparable to ordinary humans, meaning it could be communicated with.

"We don’t mean you any harm. You feed on electricity, and I happen to have a high-density battery here,"

Dorling Gray took out a blade battery from his Backpack, gently placing it on the ground, "Perhaps we can..."

Before finishing the sentence, the Mutated Monster suddenly threw the metal rod, its speed so fast that even Li Cheng could only faintly see its afterimage with dynamic vision.

Bang!

The metal rod pierced Dorling Gray’s chest, pinning him to the wall while he was still flaunting his charm.

"Your Charming Skill was wasted," Li Cheng said, pushing the consulting integration goggles on his nose bridge with his middle finger, "This thing is male."

"You, why didn’t you say earlier." Dorling Gray coughed repeatedly, spewing a mouthful of blood.

"You didn’t ask, plus your charm can’t seem to work on both genders. I suggest learning unisex charm techniques from Zhang Xianzhong and Genghis Khan."

Li Cheng casually remarked, picking up the Victory Flag Spear, turning to face the Mutated Monster again.
