Chapter 162 The Rivalry of the Three Kings
The criminal was surprisingly difficult to apprehend.
King Taishan repeatedly switched the areas where he was playing against Xin Que to different hells, with cracked ground, destroyed houses, stone spears, and earth pillars... Each time, the woman, as slippery as an eel, managed to dodge and escape to adjacent blocks.
When King Taishan saw Xin Que escape into the square area where the scenic spot was located, he made a grabbing motion in the air, and then the famous mountain in this city underwent an indescribable transformation.
The earth and bricks crumbled and crumbled inch by inch, then reassembled, filling the mountaintop and sharpening the foot of the mountain. Amidst the earth-shaking tremors, one loud bang after another echoed from the towering peaks. Boulders fell, old trees were uprooted, and they crashed to the ground with a resounding crash, until the lush green vegetation surrounding the mountaintops shed its vibrant green, revealing its grotesque and monotonous true form.
The mountain peaks were inverted, and everything on them was shaken off into the sky, including Xin Que, who should have been wiped out.
King Taishan had only one goal in mind.
Kill her.
Kill her with all your might!!!
The sharp, terrifying peak of the inverted mountain, carrying an angry intent to ensure that ants could never rise again, crashed straight down upon its target.
Dust billowed, yellow sand filled the sky, and the tremendous sound of the peaks colliding with the ground, along with the earth-shaking tremors, enveloped the entire city, causing every living being that could hear the sound to tremble with fear from the depths of their souls.
The mountain peak, like a wedge piercing the clouds, was slammed into the city's surface by a force beyond comprehension.
The earth cracked open, and the force of the wedges driving into the ground quickly spread to other blocks.
The dividing line that separated those areas was caught off guard by the earthquake. Soon, the light that symbolized its operation flickered for a few moments and then dimmed.
As the smoke and dust dissipated, a strange sound came from the sand and dust that had been obstructing the view.
When he saw the spear tip piercing through the sand and smoke and rushing towards him, the King of Taishan's pupils suddenly contracted.
"They stole the restoration chip from the City King's clone?"
King Taishan dodged the spear tip and drew a stone knife from thin air to meet the attack.
The situation is becoming clearer.
As long as the power source for the body's resurrection—the heart chip—is destroyed, Xin Que can be completely killed.
[The map's execution permissions have been intercepted by Taishan Wang, and amidst his frenzied actions, the map is already showing signs of disorder and collapse.]
[Minister Qu, we need to come up with a solution as soon as possible.] The administrator AI's mechanical eye, which monitors the small world, is suspended above and behind Qu Huan and the City King by countless mechanical binding tubes extending down from the sky.
Qu Huan stood on the high ground of the clubhouse, coldly watching the two who were getting closer and closer. "Administrator, have the Second and Third Hall administrators hold off the King of Taishan. The First and Fifth Hall administrators are responsible for seizing the King of Taishan's map access and repairing the map data. The Fourth and Ninth Halls are responsible for guarding the map boundaries. We cannot allow serious criminals to have another chance to escape in the chaos!"
"City King, summon all your clones. Half will be your personal guards, and the other half will be there to coordinate with the Second and Third Palaces to capture the notorious criminal Xin Que!"
“Yes, ma’am,” Urban King replied gently.
...
Blood.
Everything before my eyes was blood red.
With great effort, Luo Huayi opened her eyes and, after a long while, slowly focused her gaze and looked around.
He's still at the club.
Cheng Zheng lay unconscious in the corner, completely losing consciousness.
Qu Huan and her killing machine are no longer on this floor.
Luo Huayi tried hard to recall her past experiences of manipulating permissions within the story space.
Finally, his body, which had been mostly damaged, gradually recovered completely.
He stepped over the blood that had turned red and sticky on the ground, his gaze sweeping over the corpses lying haphazardly.
At the end of the corridor, Zhou Zichuan's blood-covered body was twisted in a bizarre posture at the door of the private room, blocking the door from closing.
Everywhere you look, there are corpses in various states of death.
Luo Huayi turned back and helped the unconscious Cheng Zheng toward the fire escape.
Qu Huan may not have gone too far. He needs to hide Cheng Zheng in a safe place first, and then find a way to find Xin Que.
Before he was tortured into unconsciousness, he heard Qu Huan's threat to force Xin Que to walk into a trap throughout the city. Xin Que's situation was probably very precarious.
Just as Luo Huayi descended the stairs to an unknown floor, she bumped into an unexpected character.
Hearing the noise, Xin Xin got up from sitting blankly in front of Sun Xinyue in the corner and turned to look at the person who came.
Luo Huayi subconsciously took a step back, her expression grim.
From the moment he was forced into an abandoned factory by strangers shortly after meeting Xin Xin, he knew that the factory's affairs were inextricably linked to Xin Xin.
She is not a simple NPC.
Xin Xin shielded the now-defunct Sun Xinyue behind her, her expression completely devoid of the gentle and delicate demeanor she displayed when acting in front of Luo Huayi and Xin Que; instead, she exuded numbness and exhaustion.
“Xin Que asked me to come.” She remained silent for a long time before speaking, but her words seemed somewhat incoherent. “I made a deal with her. She found a substitute to save my mother… I… uh, I helped her…”
Luo Huayi felt that Xin Xin's mental state was not quite right.
But upon hearing Xin Que's name, Luo Huayi stopped and listened intently.
"Has the mental damage exceeded the critical threshold...?" Xin Xin was in a daze, looking down at her own hands, and then shook her head after a moment, "Never mind, it doesn't matter."
Xin Xin pointed to the lifeless, soulless figures behind her and said to Luo Huayi, "Take her to a completely safe place... Xin Que said you can do it."
"Don't let her get hurt, I need to get to where I'm supposed to be right away."
Luo Huayi's gaze fell on the woman behind her.
He had never met this person before, but from Xin Xin's jumbled speech, he knew that this was the "mom" she had mentioned.
Just as she was about to say something, Luo Huayi's gaze fell on Xin Xin's bleeding side.
Xin Xin noticed Luo Huayi's confusion and looked down at her side.
There was an irregular wound where a small piece of flesh had been cut away.
But she did not intend to respond to Luo Huayi's question.
Because it's etched into her DNA, a secret that can never be revealed to anyone.
Like the number on Xin Que's neck, this was a brand of inferiority marking her body.
However, unlike Xin Que, this number is also a form of digital surveillance for these prisoners who assist in interrogation.
If she doesn't have it removed, she won't be able to escape the prison's pursuit.
Xin Xin stopped talking. She silently left Luo Huayi and Sun Xinyue behind and went straight upstairs.
Luo Huayi helped Cheng Zheng up and looked towards the corner of the wall, where Xin Xin had entrusted her to her "mother".
A loud bang came from afar.
Outside the four windows of the fire escape, two enormous and majestic statues, one of ice and one of fire, appeared out of nowhere.
[Minister Qu, the visitor, reports that King Chujiang and King Song have joined the battle as planned.]
The AI administrator's voice rang out from above Qu Huan and City King's heads.
The air on the left was filled with the salty, humid scent of the deep sea, while the air on the right was filled with the hellish flames that threatened to scorch and burn everything in the world.
King Chujiang and King Songdi surrounded King Taishan, who had abandoned his human form and freed himself from his bonds.
Wearing a square crown, a long golden robe, and a black and white official robe, the true statue of the King of Mount Tai stands majestically not far in front of the clubhouse. Its round eyes, without carved pupils, glare angrily at the King of Chujiang and the King of Song, who are poised to attack.
