Chapter 380: Rusty City Strange Stories

Body parts continued to accumulate in the back seat.

The vehicle could not bear the heavy pressure and its speed slowed down, with the wheels making painful noises from time to time as they rubbed against the ground.

As time went by, Jin Sheng went from being shocked at first when being touched by the body parts in the seat to now being able to continue driving without changing his expression even when body parts rolled to his side from time to time.

He felt that he had evolved, as if he had evolved from a carbon-based organism into a more advanced species.

Except for him, the other two people and the dog remained calm.

Xinan closed his eyes and rested. When he was not going crazy, he exuded a sense of tranquility and coldness. His silver hair drooped slightly, and the light from the street lamp swept across his jawline, making him look as if he did not belong to this noisy world.

In comparison, Xu Zhiyan is much busier.

He used the props to move among the corpses, constantly scanning and recording the information of the two monsters with rust spots on their skin.

"I've seen a similar monster outside the glass window of the factory cafeteria. Especially the face, it's almost exactly the same." Xu Zhiyan said, touching his chin.

Judging from its shape alone, it is probably a humanoid monster covered with rust, but in the real world, if a metal statue as tall as a person is corroded, the face will definitely be unrecognizable.

But here the monster's face is clear, and without the barrier of glass, even the dark liquid flowing in the monster's subcutaneous tissue can be seen clearly.

"It looks more like a monster that's being attacked by mental power, but no soul reaction or signs of life have been detected." Glancing at the data on the side, Xu Zhiyan's tone was filled with doubt.

It's very strange. A faint soul reaction can be detected on the revenge corpse next to it. There is no reason why there is no data on this kind of whole monster.

You should know that except for the mechanical bodies, all other monsters can detect some data. Even the body of the child split by the Immaculate Mother's skill Holy Child has specific data.

Only these two local monsters could not detect anything.

"Not alive? Even if it's a zombie, I should be able to detect something... Are all the monsters in this dungeon empty shells?"

So what is it that controls the existence of the empty shell, is it the 'it' mentioned in the rules?

Xu Zhiyan muttered a few words to himself, with guesses piling up in his mind, but he was soon squeezed away by the extra corpses and couldn't even see the monster's appearance, so he had to give up for the time being.

The dialogue screen returns to the front seat.

He wanted to ask Jinsheng how far it was, but seeing that the other party was sweating profusely, Xu Zhiyan smacked his lips and finally turned the topic to Xinan.

"Why do these body parts keep accumulating but not attacking?" he asked.

There were so many body parts that not only inside the car, but also the roof and the back of the car were filled with body parts, forming a huge bloody tail.

Wherever the car passed, the ground was covered with the stench of blood.

The more the audience in the live broadcast room can see, the greater the visual impact will naturally be.

[…To be honest, this car looks much scarier than the monsters in the dungeon!]

[It's terrible. If I were a street sweeper, my blood pressure would have gone up by now.]

[Why do you want to use such a strange perspective? Can't you use something else? ]

[Thanks for the suggestion. I put myself in the shoes of the two rust monsters buried deep in the corpses. I have begun to fear these strange alien species! ]

[You are such a stubborn guy! ]

[Pfft, if you were to take Xiaoyi’s place, I wouldn’t find it scary hahaha]

After Xu Zhiyan asked the question, the car fell into silence. Jin Sheng was also curious and secretly pricked up his ears waiting for the answer.

Xinan didn't expect Xu Zhiyan to ask about him... The body parts were his business for now.

"Because it's too weak."

He sat up a little straighter and answered.

"These Avengers will not act until they have gathered enough power to kill me."

The answer is somewhat unexpected.

So it was not because of the blue line that he acted recklessly? But the corpses were still gathering. If this trend continued, sooner or later they would accumulate enough power to kill Xinan.

Xu Zhiyan was slightly stunned, but considering that the person who did this was Xinan, he thought it was normal.

Who can fathom the thoughts of a madman?

However, this answer was too unexpected, and even Jin Sheng couldn't help but ask: "Then why are you looking for a car? You will die if you continue like this, right?"

People who have committed murder will be retaliated against if they ride in a police car.

This murder case involves not only the people killed by the player in this instance, but all the people killed before. Xinan still chose to get on the bus even though he knew the rule...

It's like hearing a funny question.

Xinan, who was sitting in the passenger seat, opened his eyes and looked straight ahead, with sarcasm in his mechanical voice.

"Death?" He sneered.

"The first time I killed someone, I was ready to die."

In infinite games, death is the norm.

If he didn't even have the awareness of death, he wouldn't have killed people without hesitation every time.

Although his tone was a bit bad, Xinan's emotions were relatively stable.

Jin Sheng didn't dare to say anything more. He held the steering wheel tightly and continued driving honestly.

The road to the central square was unexpectedly smooth.

Occasionally, a few figures would appear standing on the roadside, waving from afar, but when the car approached, these figures would disappear.

It seems that the resentment emanating from the piles of corpses is more frightening than the monsters that have the advantage of the rules.

After the car stumbled along for half an hour, we finally arrived at the Central Square.

“Ss ...

Jin Sheng slammed the car to a stop outside the square. A sharp sound cut through the sky. He stared at the center of the square in a daze.

The entire square was soaked in dark liquid, and the ground, which should have been as smooth as white jade, was covered with traces of rust.

A familiar smell wafted in from the gap of the lathe, and he vaguely realized what it was.

Blood, blood everywhere!

But the strange thing is that there are only fresh monster blood here, and no corpses or people who caused this scene.

“…I’m late.”

Xinan frowned.

Realizing that the other party knew more information, Xu Zhiyan asked tentatively: "It's late? Was there any activity here?"

"Yeah." Xinan nodded and said, "I thought Gan Mi would be there. The fatality rate of traffic accidents in the city is 50%. I thought he would be killed."

When he answered Xu Zhiyan's questions, he was always inexplicably well-behaved, with some emotions that were difficult to guess.

"Kill...kill?"

Even though Xu Zhiyan had already prepared himself mentally and was not surprised by anything he heard from Xinan, it was still confusing to discover this guy's true intention. Who the hell would want to kill their opponent?

...However, this shows that Xinan's attitude towards mimics is indeed very tough.

At the same time, Gan Mi, who had escaped the car accident, was standing in the hospital lobby.

The ghost lion's voice roared through the two people's dialogue props, shaking the light bulbs on the entire first floor.

"Gan Mi, you are such a jerk! I followed your analysis, but now I have entered the negative eighteenth floor!!"

Listening to the other party's full-throated words, Gan Mi raised an eyebrow: "You are still alive? I thought you were brain dead because of too much water in your brain."

Ever since he formed a team with Wang Ying, he missed the days when he acted alone all the time.

Before midnight, the rules on the third floor of the hospital were analyzed, and Gan Mi thought that Wang Ying would be able to leave the hospital smoothly and meet him at the central square.

As a result, Wang Ying thought everything was over, but she was stuck in the elevator.

By pressing a few buttons, she sent herself directly to the eighteenth floor underground.

"You're the one with water in your brain!"

Wang Ying snorted and retorted, but there was no anger in her tone, but a smile instead.

Gan Mi paused, and was somewhat surprised by the other party's voice. She asked hesitantly, "Hey, did you hit your brain? Are you controlled by a monster?"

That's not right. All the rules that can be analyzed on the third floor have been destroyed. Wang Ying shouldn't be in a state where her mind is controlled by a monster. Moreover, what kind of monster has such strong power to control her?

Just when Gan Mi hadn't figured out the answer, Wang Ying gave the answer.

"There are so many monsters here! And I can sense from their aura that they are very strong!" Even though her arm was broken and she was seriously injured, it did not diminish her enthusiasm for fighting in the slightest.

Gan Mi stood there stupidly, staring at the prop that was turned off with a click.

"They are all sick, one by one! If the procedure didn't require two people to perform, I wouldn't bother..." He gritted his teeth and cursed inwardly, then walked towards the elevator reluctantly.

I failed to complete the task tonight. Looks like I'll have to wait until tomorrow.

As if he had thought of something, Gan Mi took out two cards from his pocket while standing by the elevator waiting.

Urban rescue team regularization card

He looked at the two cards, his expression full of sarcasm as if he saw something funny.

The next second, he tore the regularization card into several pieces and stuffed them into the trash can.

Now, even if Xu Zhiyan broke the core of the factory rules, he would not be able to leave the factory using the identity of a rescue team member.

Thinking of the foolproof plan in his mind, he clenched his fist to his lips to hide the smile on his lips.

It was three o'clock in the morning and everything was quiet.

After failing to create a car accident, Xinan obviously lost interest in Jinsheng.

Since they did not get off the car and did not break the rules, the corpse and rust monster behind them disappeared after the car returned to the traffic brigade.

"Go away, I'll see you tomorrow." He glanced at Jin Sheng after getting off the car.

“…”

Jin Sheng listened and secretly rolled his eyes. He could only tell himself not to bother with a psychopath.

But before Xinan left, he looked around as if he was looking for something. However, Xu Zhiyan was afraid of wasting money, so he had already turned off the remote communication props, so he found nothing in the end.

Jin Sheng rubbed his fingers together and said nervously, "Are you looking for Brother Xu? Is there anything you want to convey?"

It’s not that he was too chaste, but when Xinan turned around, he looked like an abandoned dog for some reason…

After asking this question, Jin Sheng wanted to slap himself. There was no need to talk too much. But since the question had already been asked, he could only comfort himself and think, forget it, a mad dog is still a dog.

Xinan paused as he turned around and whispered, "It's okay."

He took out a black cloak with rust spots on the hem, casually put it on, and walked towards the exit.

"I could only look at him through two people."

After saying this incoherent sentence, Xinan disappeared into the night without even leaving a shadow.

Jin Sheng looked confused after hearing this.

He began to understand a little bit why Jiang Huaique hated the Riddler.

Factory guard room.

Qi Shanren looked at Xiaokuigu who was sorting out the data, and moved closer with his eyes widened.

"Brother Skeleton, this data is amazing. It can even detect the composition of the monster and the transformation process?" The data information directly showed the composition of the rusty monster, and even the death simulation was demonstrated dynamically.

[Yes, because the machine is used for the first time, the special pollutant is named 01.]

No wonder there was no soul reaction or signs of life. The middle of the rusty monster was empty and had no flesh and blood.

Rather than being monsters, they are more like empty shells made of rust.

"What does it mean to suspect that the Rust Monster is a derivative by-product?" Qi Shanren, who was quite familiar with Xiao Ke Gu, simply continued to ask.

[You can simply understand that they are the creation of Pollution 01, not transformed by humans. Of course, this does not mean ease, but rather greater trouble.]

Pollutants that can produce monsters infinitely are enough to give everyone a headache.

Finally, Qi Shanren brought the topic back to the props and asked quietly, "How much is Boss Xu's prop worth?"

The function is so powerful!

You can get so much information without leaving your home.

Little Grit, who usually answered quickly, paused, touched his skull and held up the note.

[Very expensive, can be transferred through the system panel, props are converted into points, about 10,000 points are burned per minute, and it is a non-mass-produced prop in the safe house, no one except Brother Xu can buy it.]

Six hundred thousand points in an hour, and Xu Zhiyan had only been driving for more than two hours.

Qi Shanren stood there in a daze.

Is this the power of money? He once again intuitively and clearly realized that Xu Zhiyan was really rich.

On the other hand, although Xu Zhiyan felt distressed, he felt that spending money could save his teammates' lives and gain access to external information, so it was not a loss at all.

"Before we go find the factory manager, come with me to get some things." He smiled and patted Qi Shanren's shoulder, his half-closed eyes hiding the sharpness within.

"Since the core of the copy is outside the factory, we can't fall behind."

The devil is one foot high, but the Tao is ten feet high.

Xu Zhiyan has never been a person who passively accepts things, and a note from Gan Mi cannot trap him.
