Chapter 256 Lord of the Multiverse
The person in charge followed the other person's gaze and saw two young men with gaunt faces, sitting back to back against the wall.
He stared at them for a while, somewhat puzzled, and could only reply, "Hiss... these two idiots, we caught them yesterday in Sector N27; you know we're short-handed lately, so the guys in charge of selecting test subjects patrol these unmanaged areas every day. These two morons were caught stealing oil in Sector N27, and they were carrying several boxes of hallucinogens without any receipts, probably stolen, so they surrendered immediately after being discovered."
"But it's kind of strange. The guys at the place took turns using some tricks on them, but they couldn't get anything out of them. They could find their identities in the database though. They're habitual thieves... They even worked as errand runners in the business department building before. And these two seem to be gay too. They're just too ugly to be worth my time."
Hearing this, the uniformed man subconsciously moved a few steps away from the person making the handover, then lowered his voice and said, "Putting aside the issue of same-sex versus different-sex... what you're saying makes me feel like there's something fishy about these two idiots?"
He paused, then said with even greater certainty, "It's not that I'm being overly sensitive, but look at their expressions and reactions; they're different from the others."
That's certainly true. Inside that glass case—the two men, though they looked quite ordinary, the kind of faces you'd bump into on the street and not remember afterwards—had, as people who had endured hours of torture and were about to be taken to some unknown place, their reactions were indeed far too calm.
Because the goods in the glass cases next to the two were basically tortured beyond recognition, lifeless, and devoid of any will to live, or had ashen faces. Only these two—detached from worldly concerns, accepting their fate, their eyes and movements... were no different from those of ascetic monks who had endured countless lifetimes of suffering, utterly calm to an extreme degree.
"Damn, now that you mention it, something does seem off." The person making the handover chuckled dryly, implying that you had a keen eye, but then added, "But it doesn't matter, buddy. Even if they really are undercover agents or something, what can two ordinary people do? Once they get to that place, even core members of the board of directors will be skinned alive."
“You know what, it’s true.” The uniformed man pondered for a moment, thinking to himself, “What this guy said is not wrong. Assuming these two are really spies sent by some rebel organization, they wouldn’t know where this trip is for. If they did, these two idiots would probably have already laid their cards on the table and started negotiating some economic terms with us… But it doesn’t matter anyway. Once they get to the island, no one can resist them. All the goods that can get in… are basically doomed.”
With that thought in mind, he stopped worrying and simply smiled. He then signed the document in his hand, thus completing the handover of the goods.
However, just in case, before completing the handover of the formalities, the uniformed man made a crucial note next to the circulation notes for the two individuals: "Dangerous goods, requiring initial execution or brainwashing procedures."
In this way, as long as the process goes smoothly, the two men will die that very night; no matter who they are, once they enter the experimental base, there will be no worries about the future.
After doing all this, the uniformed man felt much more at ease. About fifteen minutes later, the transport ship departed from the port.

After leaving the bar in Queens, Gu Heng drove off with Evan, the expert who had undergone the All-Encompassing Bloodline Modification Experiment.
Before setting off, he knew that he would need to bring a partner with good combat skills, and that they would not be taking the main road. So Gu Heng rented a cargo truck and equipped it with a large number of inhibitors and cell restoration potions in case of any unforeseen circumstances. It can be said that he was well prepared.
“Um… Chief Planner, there’s something I’ve been wanting to ask.” On the way to Brownville, Evan, sitting in the passenger seat, thought for a long time before finally speaking up, “You say you can predict the macro-level future, so why can’t you just go to a place where you can wipe out those rebels and take them all out in one fell swoop, instead of going to this most chaotic area of New York?”
"How do you know I haven't predicted the future of this branch?" Gu Heng remained unmoved, simply staring ahead and casually asked the question.
"Isn't that obvious? If you could predict that level, you would have become an immortal long ago." Although Evan had no knowledge of Eoubs, he was still knowledgeable within the Heavenly Gospel. Over the past few years, he had seen many powerful members and knew at a glance how powerful Gu Heng was and what his limits were.
"Alright, then I'll tell you my plans." Gu Heng knew there was no point in hiding anything from this person, so he simply told the truth, "Anyway, Hebrew has already started fighting with Yu Yu, so there's nothing left to hide from you."
He paused, then continued, “In the future I foresee… a major event will occur in Brownville, involving that wanted man, He Yu, who is plotting a strategy here that could overturn the Gospel of Heaven.”
"Hey, wait a minute," Evan interrupted. "Isn't that guy conspiring with gang members in Sector N52? Does he have the ability to create clones of himself?"
"Just let me finish, you son of a bitch." Gu Heng rolled his eyes, cursed inwardly, and continued, "His cognitive modification and the characteristics of the reversal law are indeed limited, but there's still that bitch who received the 252 inheritance as a backup plan."
Hearing this, Evan understood the gist of it, but still had doubts and asked, "I've heard you guys mention this 252 many times. Could she be a powerful being with supreme divinity?"
“Supreme divinity?” Gu Heng laughed directly, but it was a bitter laugh. “Haha…that forbidden object can do all the superpowers you can imagine, and even some things that the creator gods can do.”
"The reason we still have a chance to fight back is because she is trapped by some kind of property that breaks the fourth wall. Not everyone can escape from a wormhole. That's why she didn't waste her energy trying to kill us. Otherwise, we wouldn't even know how we died."
"Okay, what you say is all that impressive, but it's just one side of the story." At this moment, Evan also made a sarcastic remark with some skepticism.
“No, no, no, you obviously haven’t been tortured to a certain extent…” Gu Heng immediately replied in a tone that suggested you were still too young, “In the end, you still don’t understand the power of the human game industry.”
"That guy, even if he were alive today, would be someone who could rule the multiverse."
