Chapter 145 - Game! Distorted Shadows!
When Luo Xinghe and the others heard these words, their hearts moved slightly, and they looked in the direction of the sound.
They saw that there was a loudspeaker in a corner of this laboratory, where the sneering words were coming from it.
The cold light in Zhao Yongkang’s eyes flickered. He raised his arms, and a blade of light suddenly jumped out from the blade, smashing the speaker on the spot!
However, another sneer came—this time in another corner of the laboratory.
“Getting into a rage from humiliation? Haha, I like to admire the looks of how you people are extremely angry but helpless!”
Obviously, as this was the Black Dragon Gang’s base, Doctor Ghost could mobilize all power and resources to target Link and his party.
Destroying a speaker was just in vain.
At the side, Xue Linglong reminded, “They want to affect our emotions. Stay calm and don’t let the enemy lead us by the nose.”
Blue veins violently jumped on Zhao Yongkang’s forehead, but he still restrained his anger and recovered his composure. He wanted to pour all his anger on Doctor Ghost and Black Dragon instead of destroying stuff indiscriminately.
“Why aren’t you attacking anymore? You people deeply want to avenge those who died, right? But do you people know that we are the true saviors of this world!?”
Savior?
Zhao Yongkang, Xue Linglong, and the others looked at the purgatory-like scene in front of them and the bloody corpses, their faces repeatedly changing.
This was clearly a group of crazy executioners!
Nobody responded, and mocking words came from the speaker again. “Link, how about we play a game?”
As the voice landed, a projector in the laboratory lit up.
Scenes after scenes were cast out.
In the picture were pale and thin human beings with faces full of despair. At this moment, they were like livestock imprisoned in a cage.
And outside the cage, there was also a group of Black Dragon Gang members wearing white clothes.
“These are the little guinea pigs that I plan to use for experiments. From now on, I will kill one person every minute. Time is limited; I hope you can save them.”
The picture soon disappeared, and the sound from the loudspeaker stopped.
Deathly silence enveloped this place. Time ticked by, and everyone felt a sense of urgency appearing in their hearts.
Every minute that they delayed would represent a life gone. But to rescue those imprisoned humans also meant stepping into a trap carefully arranged by the Black Dragon Gang.
Everyone was in a dilemma.
Zhao Yongkang couldn’t help it anymore. He gritted his teeth and cursed, “What a group of beasts!”
At the same time, everyone heard the sound of the mechanical door opening and a grumpy roar, resounding in the corridor outside the laboratory.
An evil, twisted aura also swept toward everyone.
It came from the aberrated monsters and experimental humans that were affected by the God of Evil’s aura and had become crazy. They approached the group.
Link’s expression remained indifferent. “I’ll stop these monsters; the rest of you search the place as quickly as possible to find the room where those people are held.”
Having lived again, he wouldn’t be threatened by the Black Dragon Gang with a few lives. However, one of his purposes in coming here was to rescue [Insect Summoner] Luo Haoyue.
This person would be of great use in the upcoming Zerg attack.
But from the scenes that flashed just now, Link was unable to tell if Luo Haoyue was among those detained.
Link deemed it necessary to explore the entire second basement floor. As for the Black Dragon Gang’s traps, he wasn’t afraid of them at all!
Hearing Link’s words, everyone immediately found their mainstay.
At this moment, time was extremely precious. Zhao Yongkang and the others didn’t say much; they believed in Link’s choice and strength.
They left the laboratory immediately, rushed to the front of the corridor, and started searching the second basement floor.
Link also sent Seraphim Yuna and God Devourer Ant to assist Zhao Yongkang and the others.
Link himself was standing in the corridor, holding the [King’s Sword] as he stared at the other end of the corridor.
The low breathing and footsteps sounded from the other end of the corridor.
Due to the influence of the twisted aura, the lights in the corridor became extremely dim and flickered constantly. It was just like a scene in a ghost film, seemingly about to totally extinguish at any moment!
An atmosphere of horror swept across the place, but Link’s eyes were cold—that was all.
With mental power and perception far exceeding those of the same level, Link could detect that there were a dozen or so aberrated monsters approaching.
Among them, there were no fewer than five monsters that had reached peak Stage Four!
[God of Evil’s Whispers] and [Cirrus Limbs] were activated in an instant!
Under the [Mask of the Faceless]’s effects, the chaos and madness exuding from all over Link became more and more majestic!
Strange and inexplicable whispers filled the entire space.
Translucent tentacles that existed between reality and virtual appeared beside Link, looking like spears ready to be fired!
In a certain flicker of the dim light, there seemed to be a patch of distorted black shadows quietly emerging from behind Link.
And in the next flash of light, the shadow disappeared!
The distorted black shadow disappeared in a flash. But through the monitoring facilities, Black Dragon and the others were watching Link. Upon seeing this, their hearts all jumped, tingling as their scalps went numb!
An unstoppable sense of fear filled their hearts.
Cold sweat dripped in an instant, soaking their clothes!
The black shadow was indescribable. It was full of chaos and madness, extremely great and vast!
‘He’—the shadow—seemed to be the source of Chaos itself, and ‘His’ breath made the world tremble!
That being was definitely a supreme being!
How could Link actually have this supreme being’s presence on him?!
Doctor Ghost, Black Dragon, and Jiang Cheng were all trembling in their hearts. When they glanced at each other, they all saw the light of fear, horror, and incredulity in each other’s eyes.
…
The twisted aura swept through the corridor, and the roar continued.
After Link released the [Mask of the Faceless]’s ability, all the aberrated monsters felt the monstrous pressure—which was a higher-ranked being’s suppression, the majesty of a superior existence.
They seemed to be facing a taboo being!
Just the breath of chaos and madness alone already made most of the aberrated monsters lose the ability to move!
The slightly weaker aberrated monster all fell to the ground. In a crawling posture, their bodies trembled uncontrollably.
The inexplicable whispers filled their heads that were full of madness, making them [Aberrate] again!
The translucent tentacles that appeared all around Link tore through the air, causing sonic booms. They then tore apart the monsters’ bodies without hesitation!
Only the five monsters whose strength reached the peak of Stage Four could withstand this suppression. But even they could only pathetically flee when facing Link’s [Cirrus Limbs].
Their death and eternal silence was only a matter of time.
On the other side.
Zhao Yongkang, Luo Xinghe, and the others had searched several laboratories, but all they found were mostly materials for the study of aberration or places filled with evil runes. They didn’t find any living people at all.
Soon, they came to a fork.
Just as they were having difficulty making a choice, Yuna pointed to the road on the left and said, “It should be in this direction. The scent that disgusts me is even stronger there!”
