Chapter 167
King Chujiang and King Song immediately rushed to rescue Qu Huan, who was being held captive by Xin Que.
“If you’re not AI-powered, you know that if you make the slightest move, I can send your Minister Qu to her grave immediately.” Xin Que said calmly. “Step back, or I’ll take her life right now.”
"Thanks to City King for providing those clones for me to experiment with, otherwise I really wouldn't have known that a spiritual body needs a driver similar to a heart to function in this world."
Xin Que chuckled and moved the long cone stuck in Qu Huan's heart, her voice devoid of emotion, "Minister Qu, compared to your previous childish surprises, this is a real surprise, isn't it?"
Qu Huan's cheek twitched a few times due to the excruciating pain from the long cone.
"You..." Qu Huan could no longer utter a complete sentence.
Xin Que restrained the woman as she approached the fake Xin Que, not even glancing at the fake Xin Que on the ground. "Your mission is complete. Get out of here now."
Qu Huan strained to look at the counterfeit goods on the ground, "She...she is..."
“A fake,” Xin Que seemed to be in a good mood, even in the mood to answer her question, “The trick of luring the snake out of its hole is effective, but snakes aren’t stupid... You have to send out a puppet to scout ahead, right?”
"If you use this trick again in your next life, remember to learn your lesson."
Qu Huan's expression completely collapsed.
impossible.
She could clearly recognize that the fake Xin Que was a genuine criminal.
unless……
Xin Que turned the prisoners who were serving as jurors in the prison against their will.
Qu Huan felt dizzy in waves.
Xin Que's thrust was precise and ruthless, striking directly at the vital point of her spiritual body. She now had no way to retaliate or break free.
"..."
Qu Huan focused his gaze intently on the two kings who were hesitating not far away.
In order to ensure her safe escape from the mission, the prison temporarily changed the permissions of the AI administrators to prioritize Qu Huan's safety.
But this action completely tied the hands of King Chujiang and King Song when they saw Qu Huan being held captive by Xin Que.
The taste of blood in Qu Huan's mouth grew stronger and stronger.
"You..." Qu Huan struggled to open his mouth, his pale lips trembling as he questioned Xin Que, his voice barely audible, "What exactly do you want to do?"
A variety of guesses flashed across her eyes.
Xin Que couldn't possibly be unaware of what the prison would do to her, given that she was no longer under their control, if they drove her to her death.
Does she intend to force her way across the map's boundary and return to the real world?
"Your body..." The blood dripping from Qu Huan's lips was increasing, "It's already practically crippled... Going out... will only... make you die even faster..."
Xin Que laughed, her sinister voice like a venomous snake winding into Qu Huan's ears, "Minister Qu... why do I absolutely need that mutilated body?"
Qu Huan's pupils suddenly dilated.
“If you die here,” Xin Que’s voice grew increasingly sinister as he deliberately guided her thoughts, urging her to make a decision immediately, “wouldn’t I already have a ready-made… legitimate body of an average person?”
Qu Huan closed his eyes tightly.
"A clever plan..." Qu Huan's voice grew weaker and weaker, "but what a pity..."
[Important information has been uploaded to the prison network.]
After the notification sound, which only she could hear, ended, Qu Huan raised her limp arm and gripped the long cone that had pierced her chest tightly.
"A serious offender... you'd better be buried with me..."
[Minister Qu, the visitor, has forcibly initiated the self-destruct procedure.]
As soon as the notification sounded, King Chujiang and King Songdi were forcibly broken down into programs and quickly driven away from this place.
A flash of white light appeared before my eyes, and the next instant, blinding white light covered the ruins, followed by a huge explosion.
Everything was razed to the ground.
The mechanical eye withdrew its gaze from the observation map and truthfully transmitted Qu Huan's final deployment to the engineers and prison management outside the screen.
[Important Intelligence: Prisoner Number 13 has mastered body-switching technology!]
[Important Intelligence: A mole has been discovered among those assisting in the interrogation of prisoners, attempting to break free of prison control!]
[Urgent message from Qu Huan, head of the Torture Department: After my self-destruction, thoroughly investigate the passage exit to prevent Xin Que and the mole from impersonating others and leaving the passage. Remember, anyone who leaves the passage after my death... is a prime suspect! Kill them on the spot!!!]
[Chief of the Torture Department, Qu Huan, has lost signal.]
Outside the floating screen, alarms blared throughout the entire prison.
Countless staff and administrators walked back and forth with solemn expressions. Finally, the warden issued the order.
"Shut down all transmission networks of the mental prison."
"Close all transmission channels in the mental prison, leaving only one exit, and prepare everyone for interrogation."
...
After the aftershocks of the explosion completely subsided, only a huge crater remained on the ground.
Xin Que only stepped out of the spatial rift after hearing Cheng Zheng's reminder in her ear.
Luo Huayi followed Xin Que out together.
Standing beside Xin Que, looking at the empty scorched pit, Luo Huayi was still somewhat tense.
The shadow that Qu Huan cast on this world is far too great.
"Qu Huan is dead?" Luo Huayi asked the woman beside him. After a moment, he seemed to remember something. "Xin Xin said she would cooperate with your plan. What exactly is your plan?"
Xin Que looked up at the gray sky. "It's not really a plan, just a transaction."
"She helped me distract Qu Huan so I could have the opportunity to assassinate him, and I helped her fulfill her wish... that's all."
Luo Huayi was somewhat puzzled, "What wish?"
Xin Que withdrew her gaze and answered irrelevantly, "I already told Qu Huan, even a rabbit will bite when cornered and kick an eagle..."
Not to mention prisoners who have been exploited to the point of madness.
But Qu Huan probably didn't take her warning to heart.
Luo Huayi suddenly recalled Xin Que's strange actions just now, "Why did you use space to teleport Qu Huan just now? Could it be for Xin Xin..."
...
"Hoo... Hah..."
The woman struggled to open her eyes and found herself floating in a chaotic data space.
here it is……
She tried to focus her gaze and extract useful information from the data.
My mind was a complete blank, and even my thinking was slowed down considerably.
My body felt incredibly heavy.
Was it because the explosion caused irreversible damage to the mental body?
Women often feel as if their bodies are being weighed down with sandbags, making them feel much heavier than usual.
After a long while, she finally realized where she was.
It was in the half of the virtual city that she had abandoned.
"...Administrator?" Qu Huan tried to call out to the administrator AI, but there was only silence around him and he received no response.
She has to think of a way...
After drifting aimlessly in the data space for an unknown amount of time, Qu Huan finally found a passage with his severely injured body.
She had to go out immediately and readjust the plan... She would make up for the suffering she had endured at Xin Que's hands a hundredfold!
But she seemed to have forgotten something.
The moment her body entered the exit of the passage, she was greeted not by the warden, her subordinates, or medical personnel.
Instead, it is a humanoid armed machine with its alert level set to the highest.
Qu Huan was bewildered and was about to reprimand them when he heard a woman's voice that sounded extremely crazy.
"When you killed me, did you ever imagine that you would end up like this?! Qu Huan?!"
[System data analysis complete. The core data of the mental entity at the channel exit is prisoner number 56, used for auxiliary interrogation.]
[Execute the extermination order.]
