Chapter 133 The Day of Doomsday (Thirty-Six)
"It appeared when I was born, but I always ignored it..."
"But it doesn't matter. It is no longer my vassal in this world."
"It can leave me, or it can be itself..."
When the system heard Qiao Yuan's first sentence, it inexplicably felt a sense of familiarity, and it became more and more familiar as it went on.
System: […Wait, isn’t this the previous mission brief? ]
In order to prevent himself from remembering it wrongly, he went back and reviewed it again.
It was just similar words, when spoken by the system's cold voice, it was filled with a bit of weirdness and suspense. But when spoken from Qiao Yuan's mouth, it made people feel moved.
At least the top brass at these bases didn't look as stern as they did at the beginning. They looked as if they had suddenly realized something. Some even seemed to have forgotten the current environment they were in. They said to their companions beside them with a look of deep understanding, "That's right. Children are like arrows in the hands of their parents. Sometimes you have to let go of the string."
Qiao Yuan nodded in his heart, secretly taking advantage of Shadow, but without showing it on his face.
Although I could tell from the fact that Qiao Yuan copied and modified the text that the other party didn't have much sincerity, I tried to think about it according to the other party's logic: [Are you taking the first approach and trying to influence it?]
Qiao Yuan: "I've already said it, it's definitely impossible for it to accept standing in the center of the world and calling for love."
System: [So what are you doing...]
Qiao Yuan sighed helplessly in his heart, but still acted as the system's human nature instructor: "I can't admit to its face that I want to kill it."
Sometimes you still have to show attitude.
The fake Hamos found it more and more strange, especially after the senior executives expressed their feelings. It seemed that everything was turning into an educational channel, so it quickly spoke up and tried to bring the topic back to the topic: "You are saying this because..."
"Because I had been keeping it in my heart and had no one to talk to." Qiao Yuan turned to look at the fake Hammers: "But until I heard what you said just now, I realized that silence can also be misunderstood..."
monster:"……"
This time it was silent.
Its sight fell on Qiao Yuan, but the other party had no curtain to block his view, and all his expressions were clearly shown on his face. Therefore, the monster could see every expression of Qiao Yuan clearly, and naturally realized that there was not a trace of lying on his face, and it was obviously from the bottom of his heart.
monster:"……"
It now regretted letting Qiao Yuan speak, after all, what the other party said was completely different from what it thought.
The monster was still unwilling to say something, but at this moment, its expression suddenly twisted, and then it suddenly said "That's good", then turned its head and hurriedly walked towards the door, and finally even ran away regardless of anything.
Several senior executives were obviously very puzzled, and some wanted to chase after him in confusion, but they were still a step too late. The fake Hamos had already stumbled and pushed the door open and ran out, without even closing the door in the end.
The top management looked at each other in surprise: "This is..."
Qiao Yuan realized something, and looked behind the curtain the moment the fake Hammers turned around: "Is the formation working?"
Seeing Qiao Yuan asking questions directly in the direction of the curtain, they naturally knew that he was speaking directly to God, and there was no respect in his tone. The good impression they had just had because of Qiao Yuan's parenting philosophy disappeared instantly, and they subconsciously wanted to refute him, but they didn't expect that the cold voice in the curtain also sounded: "Hmm."
Although it was just a simple word, it was enough to make them feel astonished when they realized that it was God responding to Qiao Yuan. And what surprised them even more was that after hearing the other party's words, Qiao Yuan actually wanted to walk up the stairs.
The senior executives were stunned, but the Holy Son was the first to react. He raised his hand to stop Qiao Yuan and said, "You can't be disrespectful to God."
Qiao Yuan looked at the Son of God and said, "But your God didn't say anything."
This is indeed true.
Even though Qiao Yuan's toes had already stepped onto the stairs, the voice from behind the curtain still did not come.
The Son of God put down his hand, and Qiao Yuan continued to move forward.
Shadow's emotionless AI voice rang in her ears: "It seems that the Saint found a solution first."
Although there is no emotion, even the system can hear the irony.
Qiao Yuan naturally understood what the other party meant. If Song Yanchi found the book that might record sending the monster back first, he would definitely bring it back to her, and she could keep the fake Hamos to continue to check and balance the shadow. But if it was the saint, the other party would only want to get rid of the fake Hamos as soon as possible, so naturally there would be no time to wait.
So Qiao Yuan also knew that she didn’t have much time left and she needed to take down the shadow in front of her as soon as possible.
It seemed that no one had stepped on the long staircase yet. Qiao Yuan walked forward while speaking slowly: "Actually, what I just said was from the heart."
"Perhaps people are always like this. They don't cherish what they have until they lose it. Sometimes, when I look at the empty walls, my heart can't help but tense up..."
An emotionless voice came from behind the curtain: "Without a shadow, you can't tell how far away the ghost is from you if there is one behind you. Of course you are nervous."
The system announced that from now on Qiao Yuan’s shadow would be its mouth substitute.
Qiao Yuan didn’t show any panic on his face as if his thoughts were exposed: “That was before.”
"People always change. I just want to have a good chat with you."
At this moment, she was only a few steps away from the curtain.
A shadow's emotionless voice came from under the curtain: "Okay."
The curtain was opened a crack, but before the person inside appeared, Qiao Yuan had already stepped back quickly, then took out something, unplugged the thing on it and threw it out, then turned around and ran out.
When it saw what it was, the system couldn't help but say: [...Where did you get the grenade? ]
Qiao Yuan took the time to answer while running: "From Anthony."
The system recalled and found that the only contact between Qiao Yuan and Anthony was when she was brought to Anthony by Sun Ji and introduced to him when she was going to find Hamos.
So in such a short time, the other party actually stole Anthony's things? !
Wait, now that I think about it, it seems that ever since he was robbed once in the copy, Qiao Yuan has liked to watch videos analyzing various thefts whenever he has time. At that time, he thought that the other party had a higher awareness of anti-theft, but it turns out that every video is a subtle way to learn technology.
Of course Qiao Yuan didn’t know what the system was thinking, but even if she knew, she couldn’t care less now.
As the countdown reached zero, there was a sudden explosion behind her, and the heat wave stopped abruptly just before it reached her.
Qiao Yuan took a few more steps forward and heard the system's voice: [The mission is not completed.]
Qiao Yuan: "Of course, it's not in there at all."
The system's question marks were about to overwhelm Qiao Yuan.
She just discovered that although the grenade Anthony brought was a military grenade, it was different from the offensive grenade she had seen before and was more defensive.
Although the lethality is not as good as the attack type, it has the advantage of a small impact range, which is enough for her to run away for a while.
The smoke rising from above also quickly dissipated, and behind the curtain, there was only a corpse that was blown into pieces. Judging from the combined facial features and distorted body shape that challenged human imagination, it was obviously an infected person.
Next to it lay a destroyed object quietly. Judging from its shape, it looked vaguely like a voice changer.
Although Qiao Yuan thought that the other party might find an agent, she did not expect that the agent's reaction was indeed very similar to Shadow, so much so that she did not react until the other party agreed to chat just now.
But if it was a real shadow, there was no way he would agree to chat with her.
Qiao Yuan has roughly figured out the ins and outs of the matter. It can only be said that the infected person was moved by her words.
System: [So where is the real shadow?]
Qiao Yuan sighed: "The most dangerous place is also the safest place."
"The Saint's place."
After thinking about it, the only possibility is the Saint Maiden.
But fortunately she was not unprepared.
Sun Ji had just exchanged information with Yu Guo, and his expression switched back and forth between "Ah? This Hammos is fake?", "Ah? The Saint is on our side?" and "Ah? My men were eaten".
But the last point was just out of surprise. For someone like him who often experienced dungeons, the death of companions was already commonplace, so after hearing it, he no longer felt much sadness in his heart, but subconsciously thought about the reasons behind it.
This time it was obviously because of the fake Hammers incident.
He considered himself experienced, and he was able to see through the ghosts disguised as humans who approached him in previous copies at a glance. However, he had to admit that he did not find anything unusual when he met Hammos, which naturally made him quite annoyed.
Of course, after realizing that this fake Hamos was a monster and had a powerful background, the first thought that came to his mind was that he was in trouble.
Then there is that god. He should have come into contact with the fake Hamos, but if he had already seen through it as a monster but had not yet exposed it, it is still questionable whether he is on their side.
But the only thing that makes Sun Ji feel fortunate now is that the fake Hammers is still pretending and has not yet revealed his true identity...
Just as this thought came to his mind, he heard the sound of a door opening next to him, and the fake Hamos covered his face and stumbled out.
Sun Ji: ???
What is this strange action?
Maybe it was because he had been told the true identity of the fake Hamos, but Sun Ji always felt that the other person's face revealed through his fingers was a little distorted.
However, he soon discovered that this was not his illusion, because accompanied by the screams of the team members who saw the fake Hamos coming out and wanted to go forward to help, the figure of the fake Hamos originally reflected on the wall suddenly shook violently as if he was electrocuted, and then suddenly swelled like an inflated balloon, almost occupying the entire hall, and dimming the original lights above his head.
In addition to the changes in the shadow, the body of the fake Hamos was also changing. The skin between its fingers suddenly had several cracks, which were expanding and soon broke into pieces, then exploded like glass, with blood splattering.
Even the other members of the security team had noticed the problem, but because they were not equipped with guns, they could only retreat quickly.
Anthony's attention had been on the fake Hamos when he came out with his face covered. When he saw the changes in the other party, his pupils suddenly shrank and an ominous premonition emerged in his heart.
He first subconsciously touched his pocket, but found that the defensive grenade that was originally hidden in his pocket was gone. He then subconsciously touched another hidden inner pocket, and found that another gun hidden on his body was also missing.
Anthony was shocked. Even if he tried hard to recall, he had no idea when he lost these things, or when they were stolen. But now was obviously not the time to worry about it.
After searching almost every corner of his body, Anthony finally found a gun that was still on his body and fired several shots in the direction of the fake Hamos.
His shooting skills were very accurate, and every bullet hit the fake Hamos accurately. However, even though his bullets were almost empty, he was unable to cause any harm to the opponent.
Fortunately, the fake Hamos was kneeling on the ground with his face covered, as if he was immersed in pain and had no time to care about anything else.
"Guns are useless against it." A familiar voice sounded. Anthony turned around and saw that it was the saint who had run away to who knows where. She seemed to have some wounds on her body.
He didn't have much contact with her, and she was elusive most of the time, so Anthony didn't have a close relationship with her. When he saw the wound on the saint's body, his first reaction was not to care why the saint had such a wound, but to ask the saint how she knew so much with a vigilant look: "How do you know all this?"
"What else could he be if not Hammers?"
"I am a human." The Saint looked at Anthony with a bit of sarcasm in her expression: "Because I have already told you before that it is not the real Hamos, so I was prepared, but you didn't believe it."
