Chapter 135 The Day of Doomsday (Thirty-Eight)
When the monster's identity as the "life-saving ghost" was revealed, many people present subconsciously looked towards the saint.
Judging from the saint's expression, she was obviously unaware of this matter. She was stunned for a moment when she heard the other party's words. After all, Hammos' previous experimental subjects were residents entering the base, not people around him.
Although she knew that the monster might be lying, her thoughts still drifted away involuntarily. During the time when the monster was circling her, Hammers' attitude towards her and the Son of God did not show any abnormality.
The monster's voice continued: "And look at the expression of the man next to you. He doesn't seem surprised at all. It's obvious that he knew it earlier than all of you."
Hearing the monster's words, the Saint subconsciously looked at Anthony. After knowing that the Saint's past behavior was all an act, Anthony knew that his lies could no longer deceive the other party, so the moment she looked over, he also looked away.
Seeing Anthony's performance, the saint's last bit of expectation was shattered, and she realized that what the monster said was true.
The monster couldn't even maintain its kneeling position. With a teeth-grinding sound of flesh tearing, its spine pierced its back. However, looking at the confusion on the saint's face, the face that no longer looked like a human was still a little distorted. It squeezed out a sound from its throat, like a sigh of pity, but also like a happy smile. However, based on the other party's ghost quality, everyone obviously tended to be the latter.
But soon the Saint's voice rang out, but this time it was much firmer: "That doesn't matter. If he had told me earlier, I would have agreed."
She was originally chosen by Hamos to be a servant of God, and now it was just a change of method. Unfortunately, Hamos was dead now, and it was too late for her to say this.
The monster obviously didn't expect the saint to think so quickly, so he could only say: "To be honest, to summon God in such a cruel way, I think the God he wanted to summon in the first place was not a good one. The excuse of ending the doomsday was just to deceive people like you..."
After hearing the second half of the monster's words, the saint's expression finally changed.
After all, she had always heard Hamos say that God would save them, so she naturally subconsciously thought that the other party would be a good God. The monster's words undoubtedly overturned her insistence. Her emotional fluctuations were obviously much greater than before, and she even subconsciously took a step towards the monster.
The monster looked at the saint's performance with satisfaction. From just now, it noticed the mark on her arm that looked like it was carved with a knife, indicating that she was the one who set up the formation to send it back. She must have cooperated with others and found a solution in the study.
Now the formation has taken effect on it, and the severe pain makes it unable to stand up again. But fortunately, based on its last experience, the formation that supports the saint will also be affected, and then...
It looked at the bright red mark on the saint's arm, which seemed to be fading, as if it had seen hope of a comeback, and continued to speak: "For example, right now, that god hasn't appeared..."
Unexpectedly, after hearing its words, the saint's originally angry expression froze, and her expression could be described as strange.
Anthony and the other team members present then remembered the existence of God, and subconsciously turned their heads to look inside the door, but unexpectedly they bumped into several senior executives who were walking out in a panic.
These senior executives didn't know that the fake Hamos was a monster. They were a little confused when they suddenly looked at the thing that looked like a human but was not human kneeling on the ground. However, when they heard the familiar voice of Hamos, they still answered tremblingly as if by reflex: "God... God was blown up."
Time seemed to have stopped at this moment. Everyone's expressions were brilliant, and surprised questions came one after another.
Not to mention the natives, several players headed by Sun Ji had also changed their expressions. After all, what was happening before them was beyond their expectations.
Yu Guo was a little surprised at first, but after discovering that Sun Ji's expression was equally ugly, she felt that the other party would definitely prefer to be the one to be blown up.
As for the members of the security team, although some were influenced by the monster's words, most of them still regarded God as an existence that could end the doomsday.
No one expected that the one who had the biggest reaction was the monster lying on the ground, whose scream of surprise was even louder than some humans: "What?!"
Because it was too shocked, it didn't even use Hammers' voice, but used its own voice. The sound was hoarse as if it had been rolled over by sand and gravel, and the rough surface rubbed against everyone's eardrum.
The monster belatedly remembered that there seemed to be some kind of explosion just now, but because it was immersed in pain at the time and because it did not affect itself at all, it did not care about it. It just kept thinking about how to mobilize the saint's emotions.
It tried its best to turn its head, but the room was too big. Even standing at the door, it couldn't see the whole inside, not to mention that it was lying on the ground.
As if he could see the disbelief in everyone's expressions, a senior executive couldn't help but emphasize, "Really? I saw it with my own eyes!"
Although they didn't dare to look carefully at the time, it did not prevent them from thinking that God had been blown to death by Qiao Yuan.
He looked at Qiao Yuan, his face showing fear, but he did not dare to expose him directly. After all, Qiao Yuan dared to blow up even God, in their eyes he was more terrifying than a monster. If he exposed him now, they might be the next to be exposed.
However, some people present had already guessed something from the direction the senior management was looking, and they looked at Qiao Yuan with vigilance.
Qiao Yuan also noticed everyone's gazes, and said directly: "The one inside is not a god, but an infected person, so he was killed by me."
"If you don't believe it, you can go and see those body parts..."
In fact, even she didn't expect that she could throw it so accurately, but now is not the time to celebrate or feel proud of it.
The others looked hesitant, but Anthony had already walked towards the hall, obviously wanting to find out more after hearing what Qiao Yuan said.
The fake Hamos is now obviously no longer a powerful person, especially when it learned that it might have been deceived by an infected person. It seems to have suffered more mental damage than the outer injuries.
I don’t know if it was because of this reason, but its body melted away faster than before, and in an instant only a head was left.
The saint girl couldn't help but be stunned at this moment. She turned her head hurriedly, trying to look behind her.
According to their plan, the infected person who was acting as a god temporarily should not die. After all, as one of the few people who knew Qiao Ying's true identity, they knew how difficult it was to fool the infected and other shadows, and the one who was chosen as the agent was also one of the few infected people who knew Qiao Ying's true identity and continued to follow him.
There are other infected people in the base now, so Qiao Ying’s true identity must not be exposed. So what should we do now...
Ever since she met Qiao Ying, she has been faithfully carrying out the other party's plan, and everything has been carried out in an orderly manner according to Qiao Ying's plan. However, Qiao Ying did not say anything about this sudden situation. Therefore, although the saint appeared calm on the surface, she was a little panicked in her heart .
As the saint looked at her for help, a voice rang out: "Now is not the time to talk about this."
"Hammers is dead, we should elect a new base owner."
It was her own voice, but she clearly hadn't had time to speak yet.
However, because the scene was in chaos, most people were still immersed in the shock that the thing inside might not be a god, and only a few people looked at the saint.
Qiao Yuan knew that Shadow used a voice changer.
System: [This is...]
Qiao Yuan: "Strike first and take control of the base."
The saint girl obviously reacted and guessed what Qiao Ying meant. Her originally restless heart calmed down instantly. She just followed the lip movements and actually gave her right to speak to the person behind her.
The saint had pretended to have no emotions so she spoke in a cold and hard voice, but in fact her original voice was actually quite sweet.
And the voice continued: "And I just think I'm suitable."
"I am Hamos's adopted daughter, and I also dealt with the fake Hamos..."
As soon as the saint spoke, the atmosphere became quiet for a few seconds.
Now even the top brass at the base looked over. The real Hammers was dead, and the base really needed a new leader. But for many people, the first person that came to their mind was Anthony.
Anthony also stopped and realized that the person in front of him wanted to seize power. He frowned and looked at the saint, as if he was watching an ignorant child playing and fighting: "What are you talking about?"
The one he had a good relationship with was Hammos, not the Saint. Moreover, he knew the status of the Son of God and the Saint in Hammos' heart, so his attitude towards the Saint had always been very ordinary. Now that the other party suddenly said that he wanted to bypass him and become the new owner of the base, his first reaction was naturally to find it absurd.
But when he found out that the Saint was serious, Anthony's expression hardened. He glanced at the fake Hammers and saw that only a head was left. He was obviously no longer a threat, so he subconsciously wanted to draw his gun. But Anthony soon found that the bullets in his pistol were empty when he faced the fake Hammers, so he wanted to wink at the people closest to the Saint so that those team members could restrain the Saint.
But the next second, two figures attacked him from behind, aiming for his neck.
Anthony's reaction was not slow, but because his attention was on the black shadow beside the saint, it was too late for him to come to his senses. He only had time to see that the other party was wearing security team clothes. He resisted with difficulty for a few times, but soon fainted on the ground due to the pain in his neck. At the moment when his heavy body was about to hit the ground, he was maliciously lifted up by the two people behind him, and then forced to kneel on the ground, with his head lowered towards the saint, as if he was bowing to her.
Sun Ji and other players looked at the two security guards in surprise. After all, they were the players he brought with him this time. Why would they suddenly attack Anthony?
"Replaced by a shadow." Yu Guo's lazy voice sounded, answering Sun Ji's doubts.
Although he encountered these two players in the base, Sun Ji was sure that they were fine before entering the underground base, so they must have been replaced after entering the base. Now that he thought about it, the two players did leave for a short time after Qiao Yuan entered the hall, but Sun Ji was busy exchanging information with Yu Guo at that time. Now that he thought about it, it was only at that time that the two people were most likely replaced.
Logically speaking, Sun Ji should now find a way to kill these two shadows in exchange for a chance to be exempted from the copy, but everything that happened before his eyes has made him physically and mentally exhausted, and he just wants to find his own shadow as soon as possible to end it all.
However, given the current situation, he doesn't have much room to maneuver.
"Okay, now everyone can listen to me." The voice of the saint...or rather the shadow sounded again.
Because Anthony was suddenly attacked by his own men, everyone was afraid for a moment, and their eyes were full of vigilance when they looked at each other. They didn't know which side the people around them were on, so they didn't dare to do it again.
When they saw several shadows and infected people walking out of the passage and reporting the situation to the Saint, several senior executives who were originally ready to make moves had completely quieted down.
The dispute over the underground base was quickly resolved.
In the silence of everyone, the Saint became the master of the base, and the players hiding in the aboriginals were picked out and taken away by their respective shadows. Although these players also resisted, they were no match for the shadows and the infected.
Qiao Yuan was taken away directly by the saint.
Looking at the several infected people who surrounded her, and realizing that the Saint and Shadow didn't seem to want her life for the time being, Qiao Yuan obediently gave up resistance. The Saint searched her personally, and forced her to hand over a bunch of weapons that she had not had time to use, and then she followed them away.
The Saint looked at the weapons looted from Qiao Yuan, her eyebrows twitching violently. If Anthony was awake, he would probably be able to recognize who those weapons belonged to.
However, after getting the gun, the saint hesitated for a moment, and still pulled the trigger at Anthony.
With a "bang", blood spurted out from the back of Anthony's head and he went limp.
Qiao Yuan didn't know where the other players were imprisoned, but she knew she was imprisoned in the Saint's room in the underground base. Maybe it was because she had been warned in advance, but although Qiao Yuan was very quiet along the way, the infected people showed no signs of relaxation. Even if she breathed a little heavier, they would turn their heads to look at her.
However, Qiao Yuan really lived up to the saying "the child is quiet, he must be doing something strange". After noticing that Qiao Yuan had not said a few words along the way, Shadow directly used the voice of the saint to let the infected search Qiao Yuan's mouth.
After being discovered, Qiao Yuan spat out the blade that he had hidden in his mouth during the chaos.
After sending Qiao Yuan and the Saint to the room, the infected person stopped at the door.
As the door closed, the shadow behind the saint suddenly split into two, and then the newly split shadow emerged directly from the wall and walked to the side of the saint.
If viewed from a bystander's perspective, this should be a rather strange scene, but in Qiao Yuan's eyes, it was more like a 2D plane turning into a 3D solid.
At this time, Shadow had switched back to his emotionless voice and was talking to the Saint as if no one was around. Qiao Yuan listened to a few words, which seemed to be about the arrangements behind the base and how to explain the god who was killed in the explosion to the infected and others.
Qiao Yuan guessed that the two would continue chatting for a while. He caught a glimpse of the soft mattress beside him and moved to the side.
As soon as she lifted her foot, she felt a gaze falling on her. Although the shadow had no eyes, Qiao Yuan could guess that it was the other party who was looking at her.
The Saint seemed to have noticed something and looked over: "What are you doing?"
Qiao Yuan answered decisively: "You guys chat first, I'll lie down and rest for a while."
She got up early and worked non-stop for such a long time, so of course she had to seize the opportunity to rest more.
Saint:?
She already had a bad impression of the other party because of his pretense of mediating the fight, not to mention that the other party also blew up the agent, causing her to have to deal with the matter. Therefore, the saint's attitude towards Qiao Yuan now can be regarded as a punishment for multiple crimes, which is extremely bad.
Of course, the most important reason is that Qiao Yuan is the person that Qiao Ying always mentions. Her encounter with Qiao Ying began after she discovered the monster identity of the fake Hamos. Out of fear, she once sneaked out of the base to find other help, but was almost eaten by the infected.
It was Qiao Ying who appeared and saved her, and helped her complete her revenge. She had never had any friends in the base before, Qiao Ying was her first friend, and her position in her heart was equal to that of Hammers who adopted her.
If Qiao Ying didn't want to keep Qiao Yuan, she would rather let any of the infected people eat him.
However, Qiao Ying did not say anything to stop her, and the saint could let her go.
She watched Qiao Yuan stretch and then lie down on her bed, resting his head on her pillow, covered with her quilt, and joining in the conversation between her and Qiao Ying.
"I think it's better this way..."
"So how do you plan to deal with the relationship between the infected and humans entering the base..."
…
Because Qiao Yuan and Qiao Ying had the same logic, sometimes they spoke almost at the same time, giving the Saint a feeling of dual voice and for a moment she didn't know which one to listen to.
Fortunately, Qiao Yuan closed his eyes after a while and seemed to have fallen asleep.
After discovering that the other party had finally quieted down, the saint felt relieved, and even her original voice became much quieter involuntarily.
She and Qiao Ying finally finished their conversation, and Qiao Ying walked quietly towards the bed.
But just as it approached the bed, Qiao Yuan suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Qiao Ying with a smile: "You finally finished talking to her. I've been waiting for you for a long time."
Of course she couldn't fall asleep in this situation, so she just closed her eyes and rested, chatting with the system in her mind.
System: [Is this your shadow?]
It's no wonder it was confused. After all, shadows have no facial features and all have the same skin color, so they are actually the same. After experiencing the shadow that allowed the infected to disguise themselves as gods, it naturally suspected that this was a shadow substitute.
Let some other shadow impersonate it.
The system intuitively felt that the other party was a shadow capable of doing such a thing. To be more precise, the system felt that no matter what the shadow did now, it would no longer be surprised.
This time, Qiao Yuan was extremely sure: "Trust me."
The Saint looked up at the clock on the wall and mercilessly exposed Qiao Yuan's lie: "You only waited for twenty minutes."
Qiao Yuan: "Watching you chatting with it makes me feel like I've been there for a long time."
The Saint's eyebrows twitched even more: "You..."
Qiao Ying said directly: "Okay, go and take care of the base's affairs first."
Although Qiao Ying did not say the name, the saint knew it was talking about her. She looked at Qiao Yuan coldly and turned away.
For a moment, only Qiao Yuan and Shadow were left in the room, and the atmosphere fell into a brief silence.
Although the shadow had no eyes, Qiao Yuan could feel the other's gaze on her, as if it was tracing every inch of her skin.
Before Shadow could speak, Qiao Yuan spoke first: "You've been wandering outside for so long. You must have worked hard. You look a lot thinner..."
Shadow's emotionless voice said, "Black makes you look thinner."
Now the system is also sure that the person in front of it is definitely Qiao Yuan's shadow. This familiar feeling makes people want to remain silent...
If it were someone else, he might choke, but Qiao Yuan was not someone else after all, so he just smiled as usual: "That sounds good."
"Now that I think about it, being a shadow is really good..."
Qiao Ying interrupted directly: "Don't play the identity card."
Qiao Yuan: "Did you hear what I said to the infected person before? I have let it go these days..."
Qiao Ying: "I heard you. Don't play the emotional card."
I don’t know if it’s because of the voice, but the system feels that Qiao Ying is a bit more aloof and steady than Qiao Yuan. Unlike Qiao Yuan, the ending tone is always unconsciously raised.
It now understands why some humans say that voice is a second face.
Qiao Yuan didn't know what the system was thinking. He looked at Qiao Ying suspiciously: "You didn't directly take over my body, nor did you plan to play cards with me, and you said you have no feelings for me?"
