Chapter 187 Scattered into Mud and Crushed into Dust
When the giant mechanical eye appeared before Luo Huayi, protected by the Five Senses King, the thorn forest was already scattered and completely withered.
The administrator uploaded the recent, brutal real-time battle log to the internal network.
Trying to fight against three AI specialists with one's own strength is like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.
This was an inevitable outcome.
No matter how much Luo Huayi subjectively hoped to drag them to their deaths here, the objective disparity in strength would not change in the slightest because of subjective desires.
The city was utterly crushed into pieces by the Living Hell and the Black Rope Fire Hell, with only scattered fragments of buildings floating in the vast emptiness.
Luo Huayi, who had lost consciousness, was buried under the ruins of the remaining building.
[He only has himself to blame.]
The administrator withdrew his gaze from the man, his pupils shifting away. [_Five Senses King, you stay and clean up the mess.]
The two kings escorted the administrator away from here, and soon, only the dying Luo Huayi and the Five Senses King remained in this void.
The statue of the Five Senses King decomposed into data, and in an instant, the gentle and polite Mr. Zhen, who was once again standing in front of Luo Huayi, reappeared.
Everything before my eyes was blood red.
Luo Huayi couldn't see anything clearly; all he knew was that he had to stay at the refresh point and prevent anyone from passing through.
For whom was it again?
Perhaps because of the severity of his injuries, the man's mind was somewhat muddled.
Outside the ruins, a scarred hand scratched at the ground, as if trying to grasp something.
For Xin Que...
Luo Huayi's rigid thinking finally managed to start functioning again.
We can't let them catch up with her...
Suddenly, I felt a sense of relief.
Someone is moving the rubble.
For some reason, perhaps due to a subconscious longing, Luo Huayi subconsciously regarded the person who came after her as the one she most wanted to see.
"No..." the man whispered weakly, "Don't come back..."
The bracelet in Mr. Zhen's hand made a crisp clinking sound.
He stood before the man whose eyes were already unfocused, his voice still gentle.
“Mr. Luo,” Mr. Zhen’s gentle voice held a hint of barely perceptible resentment, “you have really ruined me.”
Luo Huayi had a splitting headache.
Barely able to discern from the tinnitus that the person wasn't Xin Que, he shut his mouth.
The last small thorn hidden in the ruins quietly moved toward him.
"But the administrator just showed me a short clip..."
"Pfft."
Thorns grew from beneath the ruins, piercing Mr. Zhen's back with precision and force.
Mr. Zhen's politeness finally crumbled bit by bit.
He frowned and ripped the thorns stained with data and blood to shreds.
“You seem to have overlooked one fact,” Mr. Zhen said coldly, looking at the dying Luo Huayi, “After I was promoted to the Five Senses King, I could no longer die at the hands of external forces.”
Only the AI in charge can kill the AI in charge.
Mr. Zhen raised his hand and casually drew a talisman in the air. Immediately, streams of boiling liquid surged out and hit the remaining thorns.
The black iron thorns emitted mournful cries of corrosion before vanishing completely.
“The King of Biancheng died at the hands of the King of Wuguan in the past, and today you, the imposter King of Biancheng, will soon die at the hands of me, the new King of Wuguan…”
"Could this be considered a form of fate?"
Mr. Zhen raised his foot and approached Luo Huayi, who was already beyond saving.
He looked down at Luo Huayi's unfocused pupils and suddenly laughed.
"The administrator and I actually share the same question: why would there be such a fool in the world as you, betraying and creating your prison for a woman who schemed against you to the very end?"
The man lying on his back on the ground moved his lips.
Are they accusing him of sowing discord?
Mr. Zhen was curious about what interesting reaction this traitor would have when he saw the data analysis records given to him by the administrator.
The man crouched down, keeping his eyes straight ahead, and destroyed another thorn that was trying to ambush him.
"Luo Huayi, open your eyes and take a good look..."
"What you perceive as salvation actually conceals countless malicious schemes."
"Smack."
Mr. Zhen easily blocked Luo Huayi's hand that was about to choke him.
He took a step back, watching the man's foolish attempt to get up and take him down with him, and couldn't help but sneer.
The ruins were like a movie playing out, with pieces of footage piecing together and playing on a loop.
"After discovering that you were a traitor, the administrator analyzed all your data."
Mr. Zhen dodged Luo Huayi's punch, kicked the man in the stomach, watched him fall onto the ruins, and then slowly walked towards him.
Luo Huayi couldn't feel the blood flowing down the corner of her mouth. She propped herself up and rushed towards Mr. Zhen again.
"You really think that Xin Que giving you the power to copy is for your own good?" Mr. Zhen asked, looking surprised.
He turned his head to dodge Luo Huayi's elbow strike, and with a flick of his wrist, the sound of bone cracking rang out immediately.
Luo Huayi could no longer hold on; the excruciating pain of his elbow joint being forcibly twisted made him scream in agony.
"Giving you so-called authority is just to temporarily boost you to the level of the AI in charge, making you the key to temporarily open the space for her."
"As for whether you'll be discovered and punished by the administrator for forcibly using full authority... she only cares about whether she can escape from prison, why would she care about the life or death of this disposable key?"
Mr. Zhen didn't get the reaction he wanted from Luo Huayi's pale face, so he clicked his tongue.
Those bloodshot eyes held only hatred for him, showing not a trace of shock at being used by Xin Que.
What kind of bewitching potion did Xin Que give him?
Mr. Zhen threw him to the ground.
I have to stand up again.
Even with her limp arms, she still rushed forward to continue fighting him to the death.
Mr. Zhen's impatience became increasingly apparent.
“Ah,” he suddenly thought of something, “perhaps you would be interested in this.”
Luo Huayi's other arm was broken by Mr. Zhen. He groaned and was then slammed heavily to the ground. His vision went black, and he tried to alleviate the pain by curling up.
Mr. Zhen pulled him up again and forced him to look at the screens projected around him.
It is the memory of Jin Cheng being saved by Xin Que.
“Xin Que’s methods are indeed brilliant,” Mr. Zhen’s cruel voice rang out, “She found loopholes in your ambiguous childhood persona, took advantage of the weakness, and filled in scenes that would make you absolutely trust her…”
The remaining thorns beneath the ruins seemed to be provoked, and attacked Mr. Zhen like madmen.
"Shut up," Luo Huayi vomited another mouthful of blood as he opened his mouth, glaring fiercely at Mr. Zhen, "I'll fucking kill you!!!"
Mr. Zhen smiled.
That's the right reaction.
He had caused Luo Huayi and Xin Que to lose their chance to make a contribution, so how could he possibly let them get away with it?
“As long as the underlying procedures in prisons remain consistent with the established behavioral logic, they never write complex past experiences into the programs.”
Mr. Zhen's smile widened, cruelly revealing the truth buried in this memory that Luo Huayi had beautified countless times.
"The memory data named [Jin Cheng] has been completely deciphered by the administrator. No matter how you try to evade it, that is the truth."
"[Jin Cheng] is just virus data that Xin Que forcibly inserted into your memory program."
As the guillotine fell, Mr. Zhen watched with satisfaction as tears of blood streamed from the corners of Luo Huayi's eyes.
"Oh right, and your special assistant... what's his name again? Cheng Zheng?"
"He's also an inside agent that Xin Que planted next to you. His purpose... isn't hard to guess, is it?"
He now held a bamboo skewer in his hand, and as Luo Huayi charged at him again like a madman, the skewer struck him with deadly precision, piercing directly into the man's carotid artery.
In an instant, countless bamboo skewers generated from the explosion pierced through all of Luo Huayi's joints from the inside out.
Mr. Zhen did not look at the body parts scattered on the ground.
"Alas," he sighed, passing those unseeing, lifeless eyes and disappearing into the shadows, "in the end, it was all just a reflection in a mirror, a moon's reflection in the water..."
