Chapter 139 The Grand Finale
When Xiao Zhao heard what Miss Tong said, he scratched his head awkwardly.
"Not all men are like that. I love children the most, and he and I have a very good relationship."
After touring this floor, Mingzhao was a little tired.
As she was about to turn back, she encountered Guo Shengli and his two companions.
They were very happy to see Mingzhao and quickly grabbed her.
“We were wondering where you went. You didn’t reply to our messages. Let’s go out to eat together. I heard there’s a really good hot pot restaurant.”
Mingzhao found it a bit strange to see them, but she still walked with them towards the restaurant.
Along the way, Chen Xin kept sharing with her how much fun they had been having recently, and how it was such a pity that Mingzhao wasn't there.
Chen Xin also asked her, "Didn't you used to love going to bars? Why don't you come drinking with us?"
Mingzhao felt a little embarrassed; how could she have forgotten that her body was that of an alcoholic?
She leaned close to Chen Xin and whispered something to her.
"I haven't been feeling well lately, you know what I mean."
Chen Xin looked like she suddenly understood.
This finally stopped the others from doubting her.
"Xiaojing, you seem to be quite interested in this immortal jellyfish lately. Have you discovered something?"
Guo Shengli was in a good mood and asked with a smile.
"I have discovered something, but the so-called potion that this mission requires us to obtain does not exist at all. How can one achieve immortality through such a simple method? It seems that our mission will be very difficult to complete."
Chen Xin laughed too: "Xiao Jing, I always thought you were too rigid in your thinking. Now that we have such a great opportunity to stay here, who cares about that mission? What these rich people are trying so hard to get is immortality, isn't it? And now we have that opportunity."
"Dean Bai told us that the most important thing right now is to be happy every day and take good care of our health. As for work, if we want to do it, he will arrange something suitable for us, but it doesn't matter if we don't want to. The most important thing is to take good care of our health and give birth to the container as soon as possible."
After saying that, Chen Xin touched her flat stomach, "I'm also planning to quit drinking recently, you should prepare for it too."
Mingzhao realized the meaning behind her words and was completely shocked.
Have they really come to the point of openly referring to a child as a vessel?
She simply could not accept achieving immortality through this method.
Just then, the dungeon's quest panel finally popped up.
[The truth about immortality has been discovered; the Beacon of Immortality mission is 80% complete.]
[Current Mission: Kill the Lighthouse Keeper and restore the disordered spacetime.]
Mingzhao breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that his approach was correct, and now he only needed to complete the last step.
As for the Lord of the Lighthouse, barring any unforeseen circumstances, it will be Dean Bai.
According to the information she secretly found, he has lived for nearly 200 years and has experienced at least three generations of consciousness transfer.
Mingzhao didn't hesitate. She had been in this strange place for too long and was about to give up.
The killing of Dean Bai went surprisingly smoothly. The lighthouse had been peaceful for too long, and these people had long since lost any fighting ability.
Mingzhao shot Dean Bai in the head without any effort.
Dean Bai stared at her in shock, then his eyes gradually lost focus, and his 200-year life came to an end.
Then, the ground beneath my feet began to shake violently, and rubble fell from the ceiling.
The expensive instruments in the research room shook violently, fell to the ground, and shattered into pieces.
The people in the research institute gradually became illusory, their bodies appearing pixelated as if covered in mosaics.
Except for those children.
Those children who were carefully raised began to have deformed bodies, gradually becoming neither human nor human.
Yes, they've become more like the monsters they were when they first entered.
Mingzhao had lived here for so long that he had almost forgotten about those monsters.
At that moment, she understood everything.
Those monsters are the descendants of the researchers who were once cultivated as vessels within the Lighthouse of Immortality.
In order to weaken their will and turn them into easier vessels to manipulate, they consumed large amounts of soul-weakening potions.
Having lost their healthy souls, and having gone through several generations, most of these children are products of inbreeding, becoming deformed and losing their human thinking logic.
And that's exactly what they see outside.
However, once inside the Lighthouse territory, everything was influenced by a strange stance, transforming into what they perceived as it was.
All this power comes from Dean Bai, who has transferred his consciousness three times and has long since become an existence completely different from humans.
His obsession with immortality compelled him to stay in this place, build this lighthouse, and constantly repeat what he had done in the past.
At this point, only the four-person team remained with any semblance of humanity.
When Chen Xin saw these deformed monsters, she recalled the details of her pleasure with them these past few days, and she immediately vomited.
Picking up his gun, Mingzhao shot down all the deformed men who rushed at him, and discovered that the mission was already 95% complete.
At this point, the entire lighthouse was shattered, leaving only the glass fish tank that ran across the center of the lighthouse.
In the glass aquarium, the truly immortal Turritopsis dohrnii jellyfish seemed oblivious to the disaster that had occurred, still drifting leisurely.
Mingzhao shot the fish tank, and seawater gushed out, flowing into the sea along with the fragments of the lighthouse.
[Congratulations to player Cosmic Invincible Tyrannomon for completing the dungeon: Lighthouse of Immortality. You will be teleporting back soon!]
Before the other three could react, Mingzhao vanished before their eyes.
As for what will happen to their mission after the real Liu Jing returns, that's not something she needs to worry about.
Back on the ship, the navigation showed that the polar ice worms were only 50 nautical miles away.
Mingzhao moved the biomass fireplace to the center of the ship's deck, then reinforced all the doors and windows before retreating into his bedroom.
The others had already made preparations following her instructions.
Before the arrival of the ice worms, the entire sky suddenly darkened, and the sunlight was blocked by a layer of dark clouds.
Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that what appeared to be dark clouds were actually an overwhelming swarm of insects!
Then, the swarm quickly dispersed, and the originally dark mass of insects began to glow with a faint blue light.
Although the light was faint, when gathered together, it illuminated the entire sea area with a faint blue glow.
The swarm of insects swept towards the ship.
However, upon seeing the biomass fireplace on the ship's deck, they abandoned their attack on the hull and charged towards the biomass fireplace one after another.
These insects are attracted to light!
And this is probably the way to resolve this crisis.
One after another, the ice worms rushed into the biomass fireplace, only to be burned to ashes in the blink of an eye by flames exceeding 1500°C!
This process, in turn, provides more nutrients to the biomass fireplace, making the fire burn even more vigorously.
At this moment, flames shot into the sky from thousands of small boats across the entire sea!
And so, the last day in the frozen sea passed by without any major incidents.
The next morning, Mingzhao got out of bed and the surrounding temperature had returned to normal.
The warm sunlight shone on the calm sea, and for a moment, she actually felt that life wasn't so bad.
Step outside and into the cockpit, and have Xiaozhi increase the boat's speed to 120 knots.
Countless seas lie ahead, filled with countless dangers and treasures.
They will continue to sail forward on their respective routes!
