0166 Chapter 4: The End of the Ordinary (Section 37)
Before the last checkpoint, Zhen Cheng and his team performed their duties and dealt with the messy scene.
Two men in black are checking whether there are any clues left in the surveillance. Detective Elogens and Saint Bian are dispersing the parts of the guards into the surrounding mountains and forests. Navis is trying to hack into Scarry.
Internal systems of the castle.
Zhen Cheng, on the other hand, dragged the suitcase containing the punk girl out of the trunk of the car and pulled it to the open space aside to open it for inspection.
All these scenes are gathered in the camera, focusing on an extremely luxuriant olive tree in the mountain forest three kilometers away.
Seeing his companion whose limbs were blown off in the suitcase, the ponytailed young man put down the telescope in his hand and sighed deeply.
Mr. Qin is also an experienced old player. He can judge from the fact that the other party specifically interviewed the punk girl and their location, that the information was deliberately revealed to him.
That's right, he, who had been staring at Scarry Castle, was able to immediately realize that something had happened on the mountain road to the entrance. Of course, it was because the captured punk girl practiced and informed him of this.
But what can he do?
Mr. Qin doesn't have the points that punk girls have saved to invest in expensive evolutions. If his mission fails, he will face a random degradation penalty that is very likely to lead to death.
This is the norm for the vast majority of Lamarck game players. Those candidates who save evolution points and do not need to deal with the failure penalty will most likely die directly in the game due to lack of strength.
This is a bloody lesson, and it is also common sense in the world he lives in. So even if he bites the bullet now, he still has to sneak into the castle to unlock his own game prompts.
As for the game rule changes mentioned by his companions, and inexplicable clearance tasks such as "Witch Hunting", to be honest, he didn't believe it at all.
In Qin Shao's view, this is just a lame deception used by the punk girl to deceive herself into saving her at all costs. He is not a novice anymore. Who has ever heard of the same team participating in the same team game, and the rules of the game between the members are not the same?
the same?
This kind of situation is not absolutely impossible, but it will only happen in some special game rules that contain hidden identities. Now that they are running into a "competitive rules game" that does not even have enemy teams, where does the special identity come from?
One word?
So, for this kind of pig teammate who has deceived the entire team and wants to trick herself into it too... only a ghost would save her!
With this in mind, Mr. Qin moved the telescope in his hand to the direction of Scarry Castle, which was in chaos.
The castle is built on a raised hill on the mountainside of Mount Olympus. Although it is surrounded by forests, the appearance of the castle can be clearly observed from many angles due to its raised position and the unique continuous peaks of Mount Olympus.
.
Many of these observation points are garrisoned by the secret sentry of the Scarry family all year round, but Mr. Qin used the special prop in his hand to seize the best observation point under the eyes of the secret sentry.
At this moment, several guys who were lurking near him have been urgently recruited back to the castle to participate in the defense.
Since yesterday, Mr. Qin has been observing the movements of the castle here, and he can naturally see all the fire and smoke from the violent explosion not long ago.
It's just that the smoke and dust were so exaggerated that he couldn't see anything except huge black shadows and occasional small-scale explosions.
Until this time, for the first time in his telescope, he could see clearly what caused the serious damage to Scarry Castle. Even after dozens of minutes of fighting, there was still no winner.
"I got a..."
After touching and swallowing, Mr. Qin put down the telescope and rubbed his eyes hard.
In the gap of gunpowder smoke, he saw a mecha suspended in the air, at least five stories high, carrying a shield and bombarding the castle on the ground indiscriminately!
There is animation in this world. He has heard about Gundam, Neon Genesis Evangelion, and Full Metal Panic. But after traveling through the universe and experiencing dozens of life-and-death games, today is the first time he has seen something more than ten meters tall.
The battle mecha appears alive on the earth!
Is this still a doomsday scene in the context of the 21st century? This is not Star Wars or colonizing the galaxy, right?
What the hell is going on in this damn world?!
Silently shaking his Adam's apple and swallowing again, Mr. Qin felt that the [Eternal Water] that he had put into the glass test tube in his game badge space was particularly heavy.
At the same time, the same picture that Mr. Qin saw was reflected in a crystal ball that was larger than a basketball. The perspective was looking up from Scarry Castle.
In a seemingly simple but stylish private bar, several blond and blue-eyed old men were sitting around on the sofa, looking solemn.
"Do you think...our extraordinary beings can withstand it? Should we urgently summon troops from all branches around the world? If that still doesn't work...perhaps we can only rely on the forces underground in the castle..."
"Calm down, there is no need for it yet. Look carefully, although this thing is extremely destructive and resistant to beatings, it seems to be designed for different targets. In fact, it does not pose a great threat to our physical strength.
I think this thing is definitely not designed to fight extraordinary beings, but to deal with large things like aircraft carriers, fortresses, and even space carriers.
There are enough extraordinary beings garrisoned in Scarry Castle. If we take turns taking turns, we can drag this thing until its energy is exhausted, right?"
The old man who was monitoring the game scene in the same bar during the Olympian Detective game, and the old man who last appeared in front of the Theti Building in Zhen Cheng's "last" experience, was waving his cane.
As he spoke, he pointed at the little people in the crystal ball who could adjust their neutrality freely with the help of the enchantments on the chain list, flying up and down around the giant mecha like mosquitoes.
"You are right. Apart from the initial surprise attack, this thing is essentially powerless against us. But what I am mainly worried about is what may happen next.
Have you ever heard of any organization in the world possessing this kind of technology? The Zhen family? Severant? The apostle who drove that idiot Anbis back?
If all this is just the beginning, we may need to sacrifice more than just Scarry Castle itself. If the final failure develops to the point where the underground ruins are breached, we may have to put all our efforts into a counterattack.
Anyway, the worst case scenario is that the world will be buried with him." Beside the old man, another elder Scarry wearing a monocle showed a ferocious look.
The old man holding the staff smiled slightly, patted his fellow man on the shoulder, and comforted him very confidently:
"A great being told me that what belongs to me, Scarry, will eventually be ours.
I think that time limit... is today."
After that, he took out a dark object the size of a wallet from his arms and tossed it a few times.
"What?! This thing... is actually in your hands?! Did you kill Anbis?" Monocle was shocked.
The old man was holding two-thirds of the [Antique Zero]. The two fragments of unknown material, which were originally broken into two pieces, were now intact and gathered together as before.
If they didn't know its previous condition in advance, no one would have thought that this thing had been broken in half.
