Chapter 54 Belllit 46

[Do you want to go to the Sky Lab?]

[Yes, I want to take a close look at Tanzanite, maybe I'll find something interesting.]

[Do you want to find the remaining power of the goddess of the sea?]

[Almost. I want to find out some truth about the dusk of the gods.]

[Is it important?]

Chu Cheng changed into the laboratory staff uniform and tied up his long hair with a rubber band, revealing his smooth forehead. The lazy and casual atmosphere was completely gone, leaving only the sharpness of being unstoppable and dispersing the fog.

[Why do you ask this?]

[Because you only need to shape the current character well. There is no need to understand these things. It may affect your performance.]

[How do you know that these will affect your performance? Did you foresee something, or did your data analysis show that there would be some unfavorable consequences for me to do this?

This time, Chu Cheng did not beat around the bush, but laid it out to the system directly. If the system was willing to tell him the same straightforwardly, Chu Cheng was willing to give the system 50% trust.

[After system analysis, you will most likely advance the main storyline quickly if you do this. It may cause you and the protagonists to face the goddess of fate before they develop, and the consequences will be disastrous.]

It is different from what I imagined. Chu Cheng did not show any great shock, nor did he fall into deep thought, but remained calm and did not even stop heading for the sky laboratory.

[Having it proves that Ferrog has what I want, so what reason do I have not to go? Moreover, since you can foresee it, you must be able to analyze the solution, right? Tell me about it? 】

【.....This is not something I can reveal at the moment. Since you have made up your mind, just quickly resolve the matter at hand and then go to Ferrog】

The system used a very spiritual word here, "at present", which means that the system has a part of space to breathe freely and can avoid regulations. This is really a good news.

But Chu Cheng is not indifferent to the main line of the system, but the recent abnormality of the system makes a possibility in his mind stronger and stronger, and this requires Chu Cheng to go to Ferrog to confirm.

While thinking, Chu Cheng came to the periphery of the sky laboratory. Unlike before, there are no guards here now, and it can even be said that the door is wide open, without any intention of covering it. But the surrounding businesses have been cleared away, leaving only empty rooms.

Chu Cheng put his hand on the wall, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into a pool of water, clinging to the wall and blending in. Along the way, Chu Cheng saw all the staff members with nervous expressions passing by in a hurry. Some of them were holding papers in their hands, and some were dragging sealed opaque boxes. What was even more bizarre was that there were many spots on the wall, which looked like blood-like spray marks.

Chu Cheng covered the wall and rubbed around the marks. Although the smell was already very faint, Chu Cheng could still tell that it was the smell of blood. There must be a big problem in the laboratory, otherwise it would not be so panic-stricken.

Chu Cheng continued to climb up and followed the ventilation duct to enter the top of the shed. His goal was very clear this time, so he went straight to the room at the end of the corridor without any hesitation.

The room, which was originally unattended, now had its door wide open, and many staff members were carrying various things in and out. Chu Cheng saw a staff member pushing a large box. Looking down along the cloth covering the box, Chu Cheng saw a blue corner as thin as a cicada's wing, like a mermaid's tail, but it was also stained with blood.

The deeper he went into the corridor, the stronger the smell of blood Chu Cheng could feel. It was almost to the point where he didn't need to get close to smell it, so much so that Chu Cheng was about to have an olfactory illusion.

By the time I entered the corridor where the energy point was buried, the smell of blood was overwhelming. There was no need to look for the source. The whole person was soaked in the smell of blood. And not only the smell, but also traces of blood were everywhere, whether on the walls, the floor, or even on the ventilation ducts.

And this blood not only appeared in the shape of a spray, but also in the shape of a palm, with large pieces of color like being rubbed out by something, and if you look closely, you can see scales and flesh mixed in the blood.

Just relying on such a detailed scene in front of you is enough to imagine what a tragic scene this place has experienced. Chu Cheng did not stay for too long. His intuition told him that the later he arrived, the more irreversible tragedies there would be.

As expected, when Chu Cheng arrived at the deepest room connected to the Tanzanite Ocean, the place no longer had the quiet and peaceful atmosphere it had before. Instead, people wearing masks, heavy protective clothing, and gloves with barbs were dragging the creatures living in the sea on the ground roughly and cruelly.

A mermaid with beautiful golden hair was dragged mercilessly by a male staff member. Both of her arms were pierced by the barbs on the gloves. Blood flowed down her arms to her face, slid into her eyes, and fell down in large drops with tears, flowing into the depression of her clavicle.

Her desperate struggle only exacerbated the tearing of the wounds on her arms. The wounds next to the barbs had been pulled bigger and bigger, and even turned black. The depth could not be seen. It could only feel that if she continued to struggle, her arms would be broken.

The staff seemed to think so, so he took off his gloves and let the gloves hang on the mermaid's arms by the barbs. The mermaid, who was already twitching with pain, thought she had escaped the clutches of the devil. She couldn't help but show a relieved expression on her face and gasped for air.

But her eyebrows, which had just been relaxed, were wrinkled again in less than two seconds, and her pupils could not help shrinking. She frantically rubbed the floor and moved backwards. Her face, which was originally tearful, was no longer beautiful because of the tears. The male staff member had no sympathy for her. He just dragged a thick and hard pickaxe impatiently and dropped it on the ground, leaving long scratches and making a harsh sound.

Finally, in the desperate and helpless look of the mermaid, the staff member raised the pickaxe in his hand high and smashed it hard on the mermaid's tail. Suddenly, the miserable screams filled the whole room, and blood and flesh flew everywhere, mixed with scales and bone fragments.

Seeing that the mermaid was powerless to resist, the staff member was satisfied and tried to pull out the pickaxe, but found that it was stuck in the mermaid's tail. He groaned in annoyance, then stepped on the mermaid's tail and chopped it off without hesitation. In the end, the pickaxe was pulled off with a large piece of flesh. The mermaid was twitching in pain and foaming at the mouth, but the staff member pretended not to see it.

After such an inhumane persecution, the poor mermaid could only be dragged away with her tail almost cut off in half, barely breathing. The whole process took no more than two minutes. Such tragic scenes occurred almost without a break. Marine creatures were constantly being dragged out in such a rough manner, then struggled, tortured madly, and then dragged away. The whole process was like an assembly line, without any hesitation.

Chu Cheng immediately understood why the system said that the trip to Ferrog would seriously advance the progress of the main storyline. In terms of Chu Cheng's strength alone, he is definitely capable of flattening this laboratory and rescuing all the victims inside.

But what about after that? Chu Cheng's making such a big fuss will definitely disturb Pence. Pence may not know who is the one who made the trouble, but he will know that someone has discovered the secret of the laboratory and that someone knows the existence of Tanzanite. In order to ensure the implementation of the God-making plan, he may seal off all the remaining laboratories or even massacre all the relevant people.

And if Carl knew about this, how could Carl continue to participate in Pence's God-making plan? Without Carl's help, it would definitely have an impact on the goddess of fate, and it might even be a complete failure.

However, in the system's calculations, Chu Cheng's trip to Ferrog would affect the development of the comics. In other words, any behavior of Chu Cheng in the Sky Lab would not cause serious problems in the advancement of the main line, and would only appear after switching the map.

In this case, considering the uncertainty of Carl, Chu Cheng decided to take a gamble. Chu Cheng slid along the wall to the ground in the room. When he was about to insert the gloves into a living organism, Chu Cheng quickly climbed up from a puddle of water on the ground and condensed, and turned into a human form in the shocked eyes of the staff.

After being stunned for two seconds, the staff member opened his mouth very professionally and wanted to call someone over, but Chu Cheng obviously would not give him such an opportunity. Almost instantly, the frost froze his throat and solidified along his trachea, forcing him to keep his head tilted back and his mouth wide open to maintain the same posture.

"Next I'll ask you a question, you just need to make gestures, understand?"

The staff member made gestures non-stop, fearing that Chu Cheng would kill him. Chu Cheng did not waste time and directly asked a few questions that he was most concerned about.

"How many staff members are there in your laboratory?"

The man made a few numbers, 203, which was far more than Chu Cheng had imagined. This also proved that the experiment had now entered a white-hot stage, and Bellit had invested a large number of personnel in this experiment.

"What are you going to do with these marine species?"

The man made a cross on his chest. Chu Cheng was not disappointed about this. After all, it was really difficult to let these low-level personnel know about this kind of thing. They were just workers who were trying to make a living. Chu Cheng then asked the last question.

"How many have you captured now?"

The man thought for two seconds, and then hesitantly gestured a number.

"One hundred?"

The man shook his head.

"One thousand?"

The man shook his head and poked his index finger upwards twice. Chu Cheng took a breath.

"One hundred thousand?"

The man raised his thumb, indicating that Chu Cheng was right.

Chu Cheng couldn't help but take a breath. A full hundred thousand lives, what is Bellit going to do? Even in the Middle Ages, human sacrifices didn't require so many people

... Human sacrifices?

The complaints that flashed through his mind suddenly woke Chu Cheng up. Yes, the comics did not clearly mention how to create a god, but the strange atmosphere in the laboratory and the sudden actions made it hard for people not to guess whether these 100,000 lives were taken to sacrifice to Carl to create a god.

If so, Chu Cheng felt even more disturbed. If it was really a sacrifice, the number of lives required might be far more than these 100,000. But let alone Carl, even Chu Cheng could not watch hundreds of thousands of lives being wasted just for the unpredictable war in the end.

But even with Carl, this was not a fully prepared war, or in other words, it could not be a war with 100% certainty anyway. The power of the goddess of fate is unprecedented and unique. In a sense, her power cannot be measured by level, so any method is just choosing a path with greater possibilities.

Thinking of this, Chu Cheng glanced at the staff who looked at him with hope, silently pulled the corner of his lip, and then raised his hand without hesitation, sliding his index finger downward in the air.

In an instant, the frost that was originally only on the man's throat spread downward at a speed visible to the naked eye, covering all the skin under his clothes in the blink of an eye, and eroding inward. Just like the fish that died in the hospital, it died silently.

And this way of dying is quite painful. You can feel your body being slowly eaten by the frost, but you can't even escape. At first, you just feel cold limbs and stiff hands and feet. Then you will find that your nasal cavity is full of frost. Every breath you exhale is like soaking in ice water. Gradually, the world in front of you becomes blurred, and the tinnitus becomes more and more severe, until you suddenly realize that your heartbeat becomes so slow, and then stops.

Chu Cheng squatted beside the creature that was dragged out. To be honest, he looks more like a monster in the universal sense. It is a completely black mass of slime-like creatures. It keeps melting down, but it always maintains its general shape. There are nearly ten tentacles extending from the lower part. Each tentacles is nearly ten centimeters in diameter and covered with suction cups of various sizes. The appearance is very similar to the mythical Cthulhu.

Chu Cheng stretched out a finger and poked it, but found that its surface was not sticky like mucus, but rather smooth, a bit like the texture of frosted. However, this thing didn't seem to have much intelligence, and Chu Cheng lost interest after poking it twice. He withdrew his hand. The thing

saw Chu Cheng's leaving steps, and hurriedly followed Chu Cheng, rubbing the ground with its thick tentacles and suction cups, making the ground wet and sticky, leaving a pool of liquid.

But Chu Cheng didn't have the interest to pick up things from the ground, so he slightly increased his speed and got rid of the black tentacle monster.

Standing in front of the vast ocean, Chu Cheng twisted his neck, stretched out his hands and raised his soft body above his head, then took off his coat and stepped over the magic barrier. In an instant, his legs turned into phantoms, and in the blink of an eye, they turned into a fish tail.

[Aren't you curious about how I turned into a fish tail? ]

[Using supernatural powers to liquefy the legs and then condense them into the appearance of a fish tail, confusing the real thing, and looking like a liquid flowing tail, a very good idea]

Chu Cheng couldn't help but chuckle in his heart.

'You really know it'
