Chapter 134 Abnormal Out of Control
Someone copied my face?
No matter how similar the imitation is, it is not the authentic masked monster.
Through the red crystal, Su Xia seemed to be standing next to Mercer and saw the fake.
He was very displeased by the appearance of this fake.
The face was as ugly as a car accident scene. Only a mask could be worn to cover up the shocking ugliness. Through the mask, one could see a pair of numb eyes, as if they had just been dug out from a dead person's face. They were emotionless and very empty.
Yu Tuo asked what Su Xia wanted to ask: "Is his ability also to control metal?"
"No, more than metal."
Mercer was full of confidence. He tapped his cane, signaling the fake to take action.
The middle-aged man received the order and immediately began the demonstration.
He used his talent to silently sense everything around him, then suddenly raised his hands.
The surrounding glassware, hoses, cotton swabs, gauze, metal brackets, etc. were all affected, floating in the air and rotating slowly.
The scene looked shocking, as if he was the master of all things.
Many experimenters on the side looked at him in surprise.
They had been unable to leave the underground for a long time, so most of them didn't know what was happening on the ground, and didn't understand Mercer's intention of asking this middle-aged man to demonstrate his abilities.
"Control everything?" Yu Tuo's voice was also a little surprised. "Is it a skill or a talent?"
"My lord, it's a talent."
The middle-aged man finally spoke, his voice was hoarse.
Yu Tuo asked again: "What is its specific power? Can it have any effect on me?"
The middle-aged man replied: "Sir, I have just tried it."
"It seems you are not as good as the masked weirdo."
After these two encounters, Yu Tuo had a high opinion of Su Xia's strength.
After all, Su Xia can really influence him.
However, Yu Tuo did not feel the slightest bit of the so-called power of "controlling everything" of the middle-aged man in front of him.
Moser smiled faintly and said, "His psychic level is only 3.7. In your opinion, what should the psychic level of the masked man be?"
“It’s hard to say…”
Yu Tuo carefully recalled the two encounters.
He has always been doubtful about Su Xia's true strength.
"During the first fight, his psychic power level should have been below 3.5. In order to escape, he used something to temporarily increase his strength. That thing must have had some side effects. I didn't expect him to recover so quickly."
Robots have convenient memories, as they can record everything that happened in the past from a first-person perspective.
The battle that night was extremely fierce. If it were an ordinary level 3 creature, it might not have lasted even a minute in Yu Tuo's hands.
"But by the second time we fought, he had already advanced to level 4."
Based on this judgment, middle-aged people are indeed not as good as Su Xia.
And his shortcomings are obvious.
Although he can control many things around him, when he needs to focus on controlling one thing, his strength cannot be fully concentrated.
When only controlling metal, his performance at level 3.7 is not as strong as Su Xia's at level 3.0.
After learning the truth, Yu Tuo analyzed the situation for a moment and asked calmly, "What do you want him to do?"
"Simple, where does the Masked Stranger have the highest prestige?"
"Refugee camp?"
"That's right." Mercer nodded slightly. "It's easiest to start with the refugees. With just a few trivial things, we can ruin the reputation of the masked man, or even make him turn against his own people. But... for now, let's let our masked man save some refugees first."
After that night of unrest, not all the refugees from the movement fled into the wilderness.
Some were even bolder and actually tried to attack various important institutions in the city after Su Xia left.
Several refugee groups even stormed office buildings in the city center.
Although Coral City was caught off guard at the time, it later reacted and put the entire city on alert. It sent out all its soldiers to carry out missions and captured many refugees who attacked important institutions.
Some refugees have not yet been released and are being held in prisons in various areas of the city.
Mercer said to the middle-aged man, "Your mission is simple. You will take action this evening and reenact the events of that night. You don't need to do it too perfectly, as long as you can rescue the people in the prison. I will arrange for someone to cooperate with you."
The middle-aged man nodded: "Sir, I understand."
"Very good. After rescuing them, take those refugees and flee to the wilderness. I will build momentum for you."
"yes!"
The middle-aged man was very obedient and didn't ask any questions. He was like a machine that only knew how to carry out its tasks.
It seemed that he had no intention of taking off this cold metal mask.
Wearing a mask, he slowly took his leave and went back to seriously prepare for the action this evening.
Yu Tuo watched the middle-aged man leave, then asked coldly: "Is your target more than just the masked man?"
"Since we have such a good chess piece, we should naturally take a long-term view." Moser smiled faintly, "The resistance organizations in the wilderness have already moved their bases. This is our chance to investigate them. Your vision is too short-sighted. Why do you keep focusing on that masked weirdo?"
“He’s a good opponent.”
"Learn from me and you will meet more good opponents in the future."
Mercer's tone was always arrogant, as if he did it on purpose, like an old nobleman from the old times, with a disgusting elegance.
It's like someone who doesn't have the upbringing of an aristocrat but insists on pretending to be one. It makes people want to punch him.
Even through a layer of illusion, Su Xia felt that it sounded very contrived.
Not to mention Yu Tuo who was right next to Mercer.
Yu Tuo asked coldly: "The masked man will not watch you carry out your plan."
"It would be best if he shows up so we can solve the problem together and save trouble." Moser remained calm. "After he shows up, hold him back for a while and I will do it myself."
"Are you ready to reveal your identity?"
"It's time to go out for a walk, otherwise no one will dare to come to my Coral City and make trouble!"
"If you do that, the fake one will be useless."
"Don't worry, I have other plans for him..."
Moser looked so confident that he didn't even bother to tell Yu Tuo about his entire plan.
At this moment, Su Xia suddenly triggered a task.
He took off the red crystal, thinking it was his mission to deal with the fake one.
But when he clicked it, his expression suddenly changed.
[Obtained Mission: Abnormal Out of Control]
[Mission Description: Under the Coral City, there is a mysterious experimental area, which is managed by Mercer, a direct subordinate of the Mechanical Overlord "Eifer". Various unknown horrific experiments are carried out in this area all year round.]
[The experiment has yielded results, with 27 complete experimental subjects born, all of whom have developed considerable intelligence]
[They surrendered on the surface, but in fact they were always looking for a chance to escape from underground]
[Now, Subject No. 28 is about to wake up]
[It possesses an extremely rare "mind control" ability. Once it fully evolves, it will become a nightmare for the entire Coral City...]
【……】
While reading the task description, Su Xia's eyes flickered.
He actually saw a future scene similar to the "Death Prophecy"!
In the picture is a transparent culture chamber nearly four meters high, filled with rich nutrient solution, and a monster with a very terrifying appearance is sleeping quietly inside.
Suddenly, a researcher trembled all over, his eyes became dim, as if he had lost his soul, and walked towards the control console of the culture chamber.
"Is this mind control?"
Su Xia continued to read.
In the prophetic scene, the researcher numbly turned on the protection switch, and then pressed more than a dozen buttons in turn.
By the time other researchers discovered it, it was too late.
With a heavy click, more than a dozen fixed locks around the culture chamber opened at the same time, the door slowly opened, and the rich culture fluid inside poured out.
The monster in the cabin suddenly opened its eyes and let out a terrifying growl.
"ah--"
In the laboratory, all the researchers covered their ears in pain.
Countless glass exploded, leaving a mess.
Many culture chambers also exploded, and the semi-finished experimental subjects inside all woke up, roaring and screaming angrily, and pounced on the unfortunate researchers in an extremely violent manner.
The following scene is so bloody that it cannot be shown on TV without mosaics.
"Where are Mercer and Yu Tuo?"
In the picture, Su Xia didn't see these two guys.
If they were there, Subject No. 28 would not dare to take direct action, but they were not there!
The only person in Coral City who can allow the two of them to act together is...
"I?"
Su Xia suddenly understood.
The reason why he was able to receive this task was because the triggering conditions of this task were related to him.
He must have made a lot of noise again, so Yu Tuo came to harass him, and then Mo Se would take action.
But he was like an indestructible cockroach. Perhaps if he could hold out for a while under Mercer's hands, he would create an opportunity for Subject No. 28.
After escaping, Subject No. 28 did not rush out of the underground world directly. Instead, he began to kill layer by layer, as if he wanted to kill his way back to the human world from the eighteenth level of hell.
And he will release the bugs imprisoned on each level.
Those bugs didn't attack him either, obviously they regarded him as their leader. After all, the chaotic aura of the Zerg on him was real.
After that, countless bugs rushed out from the ground...
The entire Coral City, without any preparation, faced a terrifying insect tidal wave erupting from the center!
"What are Moser and Yu Tuo doing? Why haven't they come back yet?"
Su Xia wondered, did his future self lead those two guys too far away?
It doesn't seem impossible.
He can fly, and so can those two guys.
If Mercer was determined to kill him, he might follow him out of the Coral City area and into the wilderness until he was completely killed.
"It seems that I am in danger, and Coral City is also in danger."
Su Xia pondered and decided to be careful in every step ahead.
As long as Mercer stayed underground, Subject 28 would not dare to move.
But the masked stranger will take action tonight at dusk. Su Xia can't just sit there and watch that ugly guy act under a false name. He must do something.
"That fake one only has 3.7 level psychic power, maybe..."
Su Xia's mind moved slightly, and gradually he came up with an idea.
