Chapter 635: The Madman and the King (please vote for the big chapter)
The sharp spear scraped through the thick gate, and with the shining bright lightning, the huge and towering gate finally collapsed at this moment, breaking out a large hole as high as a person.
The hunched figure holding a spear slowly opened the reinforced metal rod embedded inside the gate and looked at the inside of the huge arc-top gate.
It was a grand and spacious rotunda.
Smooth and pure silver curved metal walls form the main structure of this hall. Huge circular chandeliers, like stars falling from the starry sky, are scattered up and down to form the light source that illuminates this hall.
Twelve huge silver metal pillars glowing with light were erected at random on the clean, mirror-like metal ground, like stars forming a bright constellation.
In the middle of these twelve metal pillars, stands a huge hollow silver-gray dodecahedron crystal. This crystal has a side length of more than two meters, with one vertex standing on the ground, supporting the entire body.
The stars-like lights on the top shine on the glorious surface, reflecting the crystal brilliance.
This place does not look like the core control room of a spaceship, but more like a holy church dedicated to gods.
The gaze of the hunched figure passed through the erected metal pillars and rested on top of the dodecahedron crystal.
There, a gold bracelet embedded with red, yellow, blue, green, and purple gemstones and engraved with images of lions, tigers, elephants, and whales was suspended in the air, constantly rotating.
The bright red blood stained this luxurious gold bracelet, reflecting a strange color in this holy hall.
The hunched figure glanced at the smooth ground reflecting the dazzling light in front of him, and then at the gray cabin behind him that was filled with blood and corpses.
He raised his spear, crossed the gate, and walked towards the center of the hall step by step.
The moment he crossed the gate, he felt that his mind became clear in an instant, and all the noisy voices and hallucinations dissipated in that instant.
The clean ground reflects his body covered with gray lines.
He stared at the gold bracelet suspended in the air, and he knew that it was what had been attracting him.
As he got closer to the bracelet step by step, he felt that his memory was becoming blurry. The memories of how he came here and why he came here were becoming shallower and duller little by little.
Finally, he walked to the center of the hall and walked to the dodecahedron crystal. He stretched out his hand and tried to climb up the crystal to touch the gold bracelet suspended in the air.
And the moment he stretched out his hand, a faint translucent light overflowed from the twelve metal pillars.
The hunched figure felt as if his hand touched an invisible wall.
Touching the invisible wall with his outstretched palm was like pressing into a ball of cotton. Immediately afterwards, a huge suction force surged out from the invisible wall and began to devour his power crazily.
He quickly stopped his hand and took half a step back.
Then he looked up at the surrounding metal pillars. It seemed that this invisible wall was related to these pillars. If these pillars were destroyed...
"I think you probably shouldn't touch this thing, at least not yet."
At this time, a young man's voice sounded behind him with a slight breath.
The hunched figure turned around and looked behind him. He stared at the slightly familiar face, and his eyes passed over the broken clothes and wounds on the person's body.
"It seems that your journey has not been smooth sailing?"
"good."
He Ao held the mechanical sword, smiled, and stood up straight.
He stared at the metal pillars around him. Unexpectedly, here, the core control room of the spacecraft, was the least polluted place in the entire spacecraft.
From these metal pillars, He Ao could vaguely feel some familiar auras, some auras belonging to martial arts consciousness.
He opened his consciousness and glanced around.
"Heao, you are a very nice guy,"
Yin Weier looked at He Ao, "I don't think we need to be tit-for-tat like this, we can cooperate."
"Is that a Class B extraordinary item?"
He Ao raised his head, looked at the gold bracelet suspended in the air, and then looked at Yin Weier, "It seems that you need it very much? Is this something related to your promotion to B-level? Is this your real purpose?"
"You are very smart."
Yin Weier smiled.
"What about the first officer's access key?"
He Ao asked in a low voice.
Upon hearing this, Yin Weier paused and laughed, "We don't seem to be doing multiple-choice questions?"
"That sounds quite greedy."
Ho shrugged.
"How about it?" Yin Weier looked at He Ao, "Have you considered it?"
"How did you get information about this ship?"
He Ao did not answer directly, but instead asked.
"If you are willing to be my ally,"
Yin Weier looked at He Ao with a smile, "Then I don't mind sharing this secret with you."
"It seems like your source is very 'credible'?"
He Ao held the handle of the knife and asked in a low voice.
"It's not credible," Yin Weier held the spear in his hand, "but we cooperated very happily,"
He looked at He Ao's bloody cheek,
"Do you think I am a treacherous person who will betray anyone? No, no, no, you are wrong. I just make the choice that maximizes my interests when the time is right.
"If we have common interests, I can cooperate with anyone, whether he is a friend or an enemy, including you, little friend Heao.
"I don't know where you got the news, or where you found the clues that led you here,"
He smiled, "But we can cooperate now. I am not a murderous demon. The gold bracelet belongs to me, and the key to the first officer's authority belongs to you. We each get what we need, you, and the research that may enter this ship."
Everyone in the hospital can live, you can even become the owner of this ship, and we can all get what we want."
As He Ao gradually showed his understanding of the ship, the chips given by Yin Weir gradually increased.
"Sounds like a very good choice," He Ao looked at Yin Weier, "So, where is the first officer's authority key?"
"Yes, this is a smart man," Yin Weier laughed. He turned around and motioned for He Ao to stand side by side with him. "Cooperation always yields more benefits than confrontation."
He Ao walked side by side with him, putting enough distance between them.
Yin Weier did not express anger at He Ao's behavior. He smiled and led He Ao around the huge dodecahedron crystal, "If I remember correctly, it should be..."
Except for this crystal, there was nothing in this hall that could block the view. The moment he walked around the crystal, He Ao could see the deepest part of the entire hall at a glance.
In the deepest part of the hall, behind the last metal column, is a translucent glass barrier.
This glass barrier and the wall behind the barrier form an enclosed space.
Through this glass barrier, you can also vaguely see the scene in this enclosed space.
A human skeleton with only a skeleton left, revealing the texture of crystal jade, sat behind the barrier, with dried blood covering the ground beneath him.
This is the first time that He Ao has seen complete human skeletons after entering this spacecraft for so long.
The skeleton raised its head as if staring at something, and on the hand of the skeleton was a silver mechanical bracelet.
It looks like that is the first officer's authority key.
But He Ao didn't focus on the mechanical bracelet.
Almost as soon as he saw the skeleton clearly, he suddenly raised the mechanical sword in his hand.
scandium--
The sharp spear and the broad blade collided.
A dent appeared on the huge blade.
He Ao shook the spear with force and bounced it back. At the same time, he held the handle of the knife with both hands, raised the heavy sword, and pressed the heating button on the handle.
"My words from the bottom of my heart have not gained your trust."
Yin Weir looked at He Ao with a rather regretful tone.
"For you," He Ao looked at him, "getting rid of me here, getting the bracelet and permission key at the same time, and the merit of killing the C-level of the institute is the choice that maximizes your interests."
"Children, if you are too smart, you will lose a lot of fun."
Yin Weir raised his spear, like a wolf king with its fangs spread, and stabbed at He Ao.
He Ao stared at the tip of the spear.
Yin Weier hid his strength. His actual strength was stronger than during the previous confrontation in the main world, and the gray lines all over Yin Weier's body also gave He Ao an ominous premonition.
It was precisely because of such strength that Yin Weier had the idea of getting rid of He Ao and taking everything for himself.
He Ao held the handle of the knife.
The blade with fiery brilliance sliced through the air.

Velora
He Ao sat in the front of the car, turned on the computer, and read the quota allocation and personnel list reported to him by the three major organizations.
The leaders of the three major organizations all have a copy of this list, and He Ao, who holds the key to unlocking the ruins, was also given a copy by the way.
Of course, there are only simple names in this list, and there is not even an indication of level.
Moreover, the selection of candidates by major organizations is not completely confidential, so this list is almost public and has little value.
Then He Ao took out another piece of information. This is the information he has investigated these days based on the names on the list and using the power of Dawn.
Among the information, the information from the research institute is the least, but He Ao does not need the information about the extraordinary people in the research institute. After all, as the head of the research institute this time, he has the most complete information about these extraordinary people.
He quickly skipped the content about the extraordinary beings in the institute and looked at the remaining parts.
Information about the extraordinary beings who entered the ruins from two organizations, World Tree and Moonlight.
Now He Ao is the top person in charge of the Dawn Organization of the Tia Empire, so the information about the extraordinary people of the Tia Empire is the most complete.
Of course, there is also a lot of information about the extraordinary beings of the World Tree.
There are many countries in the Western Land, and the mountains inside World Tree are also the most among the three major organizations. The confidentiality work is very poor, and all kinds of information leak out like a sieve. It is easy to obtain information about their extraordinary beings.
He Ao moved the mouse and carefully flipped through the information.
As the individual portraits and related information were reflected in He Ao's childlike mind, he summarized and explored the living habits and life trajectories of these people based on the information.
He Ao's eyes finally stopped at a person's detailed introduction.
Finally, he closed the laptop and looked out the window at the front of the car.
There was an eerie silence outside the window.
Unlike traveling within the main world, during this 'long journey', the 'landscape' outside the window is no longer an unchanging darkness.
Distorted colors and some weird clouds passed by the window from time to time.
They didn't make any sound, but He Ao could always hear distorted singing and chaotic murmurs the moment he looked at them.
Whenever He Ao stared out the window, some kind of twisted seasonal movement would emerge deep in his heart, driving him, trying to get him to open the car door and step into the magnificent world outside the window.
Several times, He Ao was even driven to move by the seasonal movement, but he quickly took it back.
And as the 'travel' continues, He Ao is now somewhat familiar with these scenery, and is rarely affected by the seasonal changes.
The transparent car window gradually became as dark as ink, cutting off the outside scene.
But those murmurs echoing in He Ao's mind did not disappear.
He Ao withdrew his gaze and looked forward.
There isn't much time left for him.

Navigator Core Control Room
He Ao's body flew through the air, passed through the large hole in the gate, and hit the wall outside the gate.
Gray light poured down his cheeks, and bright red blood overflowed from the corners of his mouth.
He held the mechanical sword in his hand and stood up straight.
Fresh liquid with a gray-purple glow flowed out from the wounds on his shoulders, waist, and abdomen.
Right in front of him, Yin Weir also used a spear to support himself. He walked out of the gate and stared at He Ao outside.
Yin Weir's condition was no better than that of He Ao. The fine gray lines had spread all over his body, and his already broken clothes were even more tattered. There were burnt flesh and flesh under the clothes, as well as Jiao Hu's wounds.
If an ordinary person had suffered such an injury, he would have died long ago, but at this moment, Yin Weir was still standing in front of He Ao.
"I admit, I underestimated you. If I give you time, it may not be impossible for you to become a B-class, or even an angel."
Yin Weir supported his body with a spear and stared at He Ao with a stern look like a wolf, "You are different from those trash. You grow up very fast. You will become my biggest enemy in the future."
He raised his spear, "So, you must die today."
The dense gray marks spread rapidly on his body.
He raised his spear and charged at He Ao again.
In fact, at this time, He Ao could clearly feel that Yin Weier's consciousness was no longer clear, and his reason was gradually turning into extreme madness.
This world tree's top C-level powerhouse is being eroded by the gray lines, and is falling into twisted madness step by step.
Those gray lines brought him a powerful increase in power, giving him a power infinitely close to B-level. Likewise, they also brought pollution to high-level beings.
All gifts have a price.
The flaming blade collided with the spear, deflecting the thrusting spear.
"You look like you're going crazy."
The distance between He Ao and Yin Weier had become extremely close. He activated his super memory, forced down Yin Weir's spear, and looked into his eyes.
"I'm doing great now."
Yin Weier looked into He Ao's eyes and grinned. Gray lines covered his cheeks. In his dark eyes, the bright red carpet, the cheering crowd, the crown and the scepter seemed to be reflected.
"Power and strength are the most intoxicating wines in the world,"
Clusters of steel-like muscles sprouted from his arms, and he used force to launch He Ao away again.
He stepped on the steel slope with a smile on his face,
"I know that this 'blessing' is coveting my body, and I also know that the guy who gave me this 'blessing' wants to use me, but at the same time, I am also coveting its power. 'Using' is always mutual.
Even if the person sitting on the throne is a madman, he is still a king."
Under his feet, the slope made of endless blood and steel corpses trembled.
He Ao looked at Yin Weier's body that had been gradually swallowed up by gray lines.
Yin Weier is not being eroded into madness, he is actively embracing madness.
This twisted obsession with power allowed him to maintain his twisted sanity amid madness.
"Don't worry, He Ao, when you die, I will send that guy to hell to be with you."
He raised his hand, and the blood-stained steel spread under his feet compressed and gathered.
He Ao reached out and grasped the hilt of the bone sword behind his back.
