Chapter 305: Slashing
Wisps of mist are floating over this "corrupted block" covered with strange crystal clusters. Even the surrounding thick fog seems to be stained with an ominous purple color by the clusters of crystals here. Deep-sea dive teams from the Secret Service are collecting samples everywhere. They put the soil and crystals here into various safety containers, and then bring them back to the real world when they "float up".
At the same time, the divers also set up a large number of detection equipment on site to collect nearby environmental parameters. They also transported a drilling rig via the "Hunter" and wanted to dig into the polluted area to see to what extent the "corruption" here has penetrated.
The place where a giant tower originally stood has now turned into a large pit several dozen meters deep. There are no crystal clusters at the bottom of the pit, but it is covered with lines emitting a dark purple glow, which look as if they were left after being eroded by something.
Hu Li and Irene (Pro) were squatting beside the pit, discussing what those lines were used for. Although they didn't come to any reliable conclusion, the two of them were discussing it enthusiastically.
Xuan Che was watching this scene from the side, looking a little confused and a little uneasy.
After holding it in for a long time, he finally couldn't help but mutter: "Aren't you worried about him?"
Irene (Steel) at the side raised her head and said, "Ah? Who? Oh, you mean Yu Sheng - there's nothing to worry about him, it's not like he won't come back."
Xuan Che became even more worried after hearing this. He felt that he could not understand the thinking patterns of the members of this "hotel" - he had never understood it from the beginning: "He is in danger! Just now when Miss Hu Li used... um, her tail to launch him up, I wanted to ask, does he always do such outrageous and dangerous things? Are you used to it!? And now he has moved to another place with that strange tower, and I don't know what dangers are in that tower..."
Before he could finish his words, Irene waved her hand impatiently: "Don't be so fussy, don't worry, he's fine, he was just talking to me. Instead of worrying about this, you might as well come and take a look at this big hole - Silly Fox said that the lines below were pressed out by the base of the tower, I think it was caused by the collapse of the tower when it was launched..."
Xuan Che: “…”
He sighed and decided to ignore this neurotic puppet.
In the entire "hostel", it was indeed easier to communicate with the master alone - although not by much.
…
The sound of footsteps echoed in the empty corridor. The skewed gravity environment made Yu Sheng feel quite uncomfortable when walking here, so he simply stopped at a corridor connection point, leaned against the wall to rest, and breathed a sigh of relief.
The lights not far away were flickering, as if there was a problem with the power supply here. Yu Sheng always felt that there were some vague shadows hidden in the flickering lights.
But it might simply be that his eyes were blurry. After all, he had shed too much blood along the way.
There was a malicious aura approaching, gathering in the nearby corridor, and there were eyes fixed on him, observing him cautiously.
Yu Sheng had noticed these auras that were following him and gathering in secret from the beginning, and he had also noticed the feeling of being watched. He was not surprised by this.
He knew that he would be discovered soon if he moved around here. After all, even if he was walking in a shopping mall, there were surveillance cameras everywhere, not to mention a "spaceship" that looked like it was stuffed with a lot of black technology - those corridors with a weird atmosphere, every corner, every floor entrance, there were "eyes" everywhere.
Yu Sheng raised his head and looked around according to his feeling - the corridors here are decorated with classical reliefs and complex and gorgeous paintings, and in many places you can even see sculptures with some religious symbolism. From the style point of view, this place does not look like a "spaceship" at all, but more like a church or bell tower building that can jump and sail in space. Putting aside those neurotic "concepts of salvation", the aesthetics of the Saint Chaplaincy people are actually quite good.
After looking around, Yu Sheng finally broke the silence: "You have followed me all the way. Traps have been set up nearby. The nearest passage has been blocked. Why don't you come out?"
The surroundings were eerily quiet, with only the slight hum of machinery and ventilation ducts running behind the gorgeous reliefs and paintings echoing in the environment.
But Yu Sheng still waited patiently until finally another voice broke the silence.
He heard the sound of armor colliding, the neat sound of iron boots stepping on the ground, and a few footsteps in between, which sounded a bit messy. These sounds came densely from the intersections on both sides of the corridor, and then the enemy finally appeared.
Yu Sheng saw more than a dozen familiar "brass knights". These strange "creatures" did not hide this time. Instead, they swaggered out with a heavy and oppressive aura. There were also several obviously human figures among the brass knights - they should be the members of the Holy Hermitage.
They were wearing black robes that fit Yu Sheng's stereotype of cultists very well. Everyone was covered tightly, even their faces were covered by a black, mask-like shell.
Yu Sheng was amused when he saw this, and couldn't help but point at one of the black-robed men: "Hey, I'm just curious, are there any industry regulations or rules? Do you guys who are involved in cults have to dress like this?"
The black-robed man he pointed at took a half step forward, and a muffled voice came from under his mask: "You have no way to escape, intruder - surrender and you can still live."
Yu Sheng curled his lips, casually reached into the air next to him, opened a small door, and pulled out his tetanus stick.
Then he strode towards the members of the monastery who were surrounded by the brass knights, holding the mace.
The black-robed men on the opposite side probably didn't expect that the invader in front of them could be so foolish. When Yu Sheng walked towards them, two of them even subconsciously took half a step back, but after just a moment of stunned silence, they reacted.
"Kill him!"
The Bronze Knight received the order and rushed forward instantly.
The slightly skewed gravity environment did not affect the flexible movements of these strange armors at all. They rushed forward, and the heavy swords chopped at them with cold murderous intent. However, Yu Sheng's speed was even faster than theirs. He had no intention of entangled with these metal cans. Instead, he rushed directly through several armors despite being injured. During the period, he only made limited blocking and dodging, allowing his torso and limbs to be chopped with horrible wounds, and allowing his blood to splatter everywhere in the corridor.
He rushed towards the black-robed man closest to him, waving his tetanus stick and smashed him on the head before the other party could react.
The black-robed man didn't expect that the "invader" in front of him would rush over to hit him with a stick even though he was chopped half to death by the knight, because the wounds he suffered in the short charge of more than ten meters were almost fatal, and it was as if he had no intention of staying alive. At this moment, a lot of questions even rushed into his mind. The first question was whether he had a deep hatred with this weird "invader" - why? Why? What was he going to do? The black-robed man's body retreated violently, and the speed he burst out in an instant was far beyond that of ordinary humans. However, Yu Sheng's reaction was faster. He missed the chop, so he took a step forward, and changed the war stick in his hand to a sweep, hitting the body of the hermit member.
There was a huge recoil force in his hand, accompanied by the sound of metal collision and a series of dazzling sparks.
Yu Sheng was stunned for a moment, and then he saw the cultist flying sideways. At the same time, his black robe was torn by the blade of the mace, revealing the power armor underneath.
The side of the power armor was smashed to pieces by Yu Sheng's brute force. The man in black was seriously injured when he landed on the ground, but he seemed to be still alive.
If he didn't have this armor, he would have been smashed into two pieces by that stick.
Yu Sheng turned around, his body covered in blood. He saw two men in black robes rushing to rescue the seriously injured accomplice, while the other men in black robes stood with the brass knights. They untied their robes, revealing the weapons in their hands - all kinds of swords, and even two of them holding chain swords.

Obviously, they didn't want to use guns in a severely damaged spacecraft.
These cultists were all wearing power armor underneath their robes - much thinner than Xu Jiali's "macho can", but obviously not cheap either, and the black "mask" under the hood was actually part of the power armor helmet.
This is very non-stereotypical.
Yu Sheng felt that the wounds on his body cut by the brass knight were gradually healing, but the weakness caused by excessive blood loss made him know that he would die here. He slightly adjusted his posture, supported himself on the ground with the mace in his hand, and stared at the members of the hermitage: "...Who taught you to wear power armor under your robes? Can you cultists synchronize your art style?"
What answered him was the flash of swords and sabers coming towards him.
The cultists have no moral principles at all.
Yu Sheng was much more reasonable - he was hacked to the ground on the spot.
He was not dead on the spot. He was still hanging on to his breath, lying on the ground, looking extremely tragic.
A group of Priory members in black robes and power armor and the Bronze Knights formed a circle around them, but all seemed somewhat hesitant.
They probably didn't expect that this "invader" who was so weird in every way and made the "sages" extremely nervous could actually be "killed" so easily.
This invader is very strong. At least from the perspective of flesh and blood, he can no longer be considered a human being. He can kill a fighter in power armor with a stick. No one would believe it if you tell them.
But his strength is limited to this, and he will die when he is caught in a siege.
The people in black robes looked at each other, and someone whispered, "...Is he going to die now?"
Yu Sheng, who was lying on the ground, opened his mouth with difficulty, as if he wanted to say something.
A man in black robe hesitated for a few seconds, and finally mustered up the courage to move a little closer.
He heard the "intruder" whisper to him in a weak and dying voice -
"Yes, I am about to die - but some things should live."
