Chapter 422 Have you heard of [Destiny]?
Zheng Hang's pupils shrank into needle points, and a cold light was reflected under the lenses.
"The black core is an iron lock forged by the gods?"
He chewed on the answer silently, and a strange red light flashed in his eyes that made Zhao Jingyi's heart tremble suddenly.
The red light seemed to be mixed with some indescribable emotion - shock? Amazement? Or...excitement? Zheng Hang was indeed very excited, and he had reason to be excited.
You know, there is always a black core in his stomach - or evil iron, or the iron chain of God - being digested.
"So, what I swallowed was not only the evil iron, but also the iron chain forged by the gods with the evil iron..."
His thoughts surged like the tide, and countless possibilities emerged in his mind.
"Then, besides the power of the evil iron itself, could there still be some divine authority left on this iron lock? Even if there is only a trace of it..."
His idea was not groundless, but had a basis.
Just like the [Stone Sculpture of Fate] can lock up the soul of the agent, the [Magician's Card] may contain the remaining soul of the magician, and the iron chain forged by the gods contains the power of the gods - this makes sense, right?
As if to verify Zheng Hang's guess, the mysterious panel on his retina quietly changed.
In the "Iron Eaters" column, new prefixes emerge:
Iron Eater: Level 2. Empty slots for metal properties absorbed: [Plastic embryo (green)] Empty slots for metal properties that can be absorbed: 1 [Current edible column: Divine Shackles, Yin Shackles, Nine Netherworlds, Evil and Resentment Iron (edible degree 17.4%/100%, reserves 1.3%).] When Zheng Hang's eyes fell on the four words "Divine Shackles, Yin Shackles", his heart seemed to be burned with heat and excitement as if it were the corpse of the evil spirit ignited by flames in the incinerator.
He stared at the line of words, his heart filled with unexpected joy.
Zhao Jingyi, who was standing by, saw that Zheng Hang didn't respond for a long time, and she couldn't help but feel a little uneasy and asked:
"Zheng Hang, are you okay? Why are you suddenly silent?"
Zheng Hang took a deep breath and tried to calm his inner excitement.
He slowly closed the system panel, his eyes gradually becoming firm and fierce.
He turned his head and looked at Zhao Jingyi, and said in a low and powerful voice:
"I'm fine, but... it's a little hard to accept. I actually have the same black core you mentioned hidden in my body. So, after I die... will I also burn out a divine iron chain like this?"
Zhao Jingyi was amused by Zheng Hang's statement. She shook her head and said, "No, humans will only burn into ashes after death. Only when they are deformed into evil corpses will they burn out black cores. And not every evil corpse can burn out black cores."
Zheng Hang pretended to be stunned: "Why is this? Could it be that the gods cut corners when forging the iron lock?"
Zhao Jingyi is just a little assistant in the laboratory. She has to learn and understand her supervisor's theoretical research, but she may not be clear about or even understand each research result.
She thought for a moment and said, "I remember my teacher mentioned that this is similar to the dominance of genes. In the human state, the black core is absolutely recessive. Only when it is distorted into a corpse will the black core be activated and appear. However, not every corpse will show the black core. The reason behind this is also related to the upper city. It is very complicated."
Zheng Hang nodded. The mystery in his mind seemed to become clearer and clearer, as if he could vaguely piece together a puzzle.
He snorted coldly: "I see. No wonder you are so afraid of your mentor. He is indeed a terrifying lunatic, a lunatic who wants to covet the authority of God."
He revealed an undisguised murderous intent in his eyes: "A madman is not scary, but a madman who understands science is very scary. If we let such a person continue to mess around, one day, he may drag everyone in the lower city into the abyss."
Zhao Jingyi was shocked by the murderous intent in Zheng Hang's eyes. She lowered her voice and said:
"Zheng Hang, you... you must not be impulsive! The instructor's strength is unfathomable. He is a hundred times more terrifying than those sisters who have been transformed into monsters.
The sisters were just playthings in his hands, at his mercy, and the mentor...he was the real monster who was wearing human skin and hiding under the light. "
Zheng Hang pulled his hand out of Zhao Jingyi's hand, but the bone spur he retracted into his hand still scraped off a piece of bloody flesh from the latter's hand.
Zheng Hang held up the bloody piece of meat in his palm, shook it gently, then slowly raised his eyelids and projected a meaningful smile through the edge of his glasses:
"What a coincidence! In this world full of weirdness and madness, I am also a monster in human skin, hiding among the crowd."
Zhao Jingyi suddenly felt a little uneasy, but the shadow cast by her mentor over her was too deep.
Even if she acknowledged that Zheng Hang was a monster, there were differences between monsters. Some monsters were crazy, while some monsters were more human than humans even in the dark.
How could a human-like monster possibly be able to defeat a truly insane monster?
Zhao Jingyi said hurriedly: "No, not only is the mentor a monster, but there is also a hidden, extremely terrifying evil organization behind the mentor, which is full of monsters in human skin just like the mentor."
Zheng Hang raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh?"
After a long while, Zhao Jingyi slowly lowered her voice, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from between her teeth, with an uncontrollable tremor: "It is an extremely terrifying and mysterious cult organization. It is regarded as an S-level evil force by the Upper City Council. Its notoriety is also well-known in the Upper City. People are terrified and retreat away from it."
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
The more Zhao Jingyi spoke, the paler her face became. It was as white as rotten bones just dug out from the ground. There was not a trace of blood in it, and her teeth were chattering:
"That's right, the terrifying Corpse Cult is the force behind the mentor!"
Zheng Hang was a little scared when he heard Zhao Jingyi spewing out those terrifying adjectives like a machine gun. He was afraid that what she would spit out in the end was not [Corpse Cult], but [Fate], a boomerang shot at him.
"Oh, it's the Corpse Cult!"
Zheng Hang heaved a sigh of relief, then grinned at Zhao Jingyi, showing off his white, neat teeth:
"I didn't tell you that I was fighting alone. In fact, there is also an evil organization full of monsters behind me."
Zhao Jingyi was stunned.
Zheng Hang said with deep emotion: "Since you know about the [Corpse Cult], you should have heard of [Destiny], right?"
[Destiny] rarely operates in the lower city, and many people in the lower city may not have heard of [Destiny]'s bad reputation, but Zhao Jingyi is not one of them.
Thanks to the [Corpse Cult], Zhao Jingyi worked hard in private and investigated the ranking of evil forces.
And what she found, whether official or rumored, whether solid or full of nonsense, all the information and reports tacitly put "fate" at the top of the list.
The "great achievements" related to [Destiny] marked next to it are simply more than all the evil forces below the second place combined.
It can be said that more than half of the space in those reports was occupied by [fate].
