The phone rang, interrupting the stare between Tangning and No. 1. Tangning asked No. 1 to pick up the phone. He heard Li Haoyuan's nervous voice on the other end of the line: "Hello, I have something to bother you about—"
Li Haoyuan had always been respectful to Tangning before, but he had never been as nervous as he was today, to the point where his voice was a little off. "What's the matter?" Tangning said.
The person on the other end of the phone was stunned, and then Li Haoyuan's ecstatic voice said: "Dr. Tang, you're awake!"
So was Li Haoyuan so nervous because he was speaking to No. 1
"The abnormal situation on our side has alarmed those in other research institutes. Now they want to understand the situation from our side! Lu Yang heard other researchers say that if there is an abnormality on our side, the ones above are likely to activate the ultimate weapon!" Li Haoyuan expressed all his worries in one breath.
"How long have I slept?" Tangning asked.
"You have been sleeping for half a day!" Li Haoyuan didn't dare to say it. During this half day, No. 1 almost led a large number of monsters comparable to a large monster tide.
If No. 1 hadn't continued to destroy these monsters and they hadn't gathered into a real monster "tide", the people above would have paid attention to them earlier.
Tang Ning couldn't help but yawn. For some reason, he felt very sleepy.
"No. 1, take me to the dean's office," Tangning ordered.
No. 1 picked up Tang Ning and walked out of the room with her. When Tang Ning came out, she saw the long chains outside which were in a mess.
Soon, Tang Ning arrived at the dean's office. Li Haoyuan and Lu Yang had been waiting there for a long time. They looked at Tang Ning as if they saw a tall man appear just as the sky was about to fall.
But this joy soon disappeared the moment he saw No. 1. Li Haoyuan had a serious psychological trauma caused by No. 1. Alarm bells started ringing in his heart, and he was particularly worried that No. 1 would suddenly attack and hurt him with the chain.
Under Li Haoyuan's gaze, No. 1, who was standing behind Tang Ning, raised his long tail, like a scorpion swinging its tail in protest. When Li Haoyuan's heart was about to jump out of his throat, the tip of the tail gently hooked the hair on Tang Ning's head.
It seems like you are showing off.
Li Haoyuan: “?”
"Tell me quickly what happened after I fell asleep." Tangning said.
Li Haoyuan finally came back to his senses. He spoke a series of things rapidly, including about thirty or so researchers who were in a serious coma. He piled those researchers like dumplings in the office. Tang Ning walked over and took a look, and found that the symptoms of these researchers were very similar to those after the mental link backfired.
He looked at No. 1 consciously, "What's going on?"
Number 1 said like a good kid: "Your teacher controlled these monsters to attack me, and I... But I didn't touch these researchers."
After it finished speaking, it glanced at Tang Ning cautiously, worried that Tang Ning would be angry, but Tang Ning yawned again, and tears welled up in his eyes because of sleepiness.
What's going on
Very sleepy
Tang Ning felt that he could hardly open his eyes. He shook his head to stay awake and walked to the dean's office. He dealt with the news on the wave, saying that his teacher controlled many researchers. These countermeasures were thought out in advance when he was still smart, and now he was almost reciting them word for word.
The above person was very shocked and asked about No. 1's current situation.
Tangning answered perfunctorily again.
Dr. Tang is the favorite student of the first dean. The outside world has always regarded Dr. Tang as the successor to the first dean. When he heard that the higher-ups had handed over the power of control to him, he checked with Tang Ning on the plan to deal with the suspected new monster king.
Tang Ning turned on the speakerphone and signaled Li Haoyuan and the others to listen more. He could hardly open his eyes. He seemed to be back in his school days when he was taking math classes. He was extremely sleepy. The sound went in one ear and out the other, leaving no trace in his confused brain.
No. 1 looked at Tang Ning with some feeling.
Tang Ning bit his tongue hard, and a faint taste of blood emerged in his mouth, but this severe pain did not make Tang Ning sober up. He only relied on a little willpower to force himself to hold on. He did not dare to call him in advance, as he believed that the First Research Institute had no say in the matter.
The tip of the tail fell into Tang Ning's hand, and a steady stream of Yin energy flowed into Tang Ning's body, allowing Tang Ning to barely get out of his drowsy state.
The above instructed Tang Ning to order No. 1 to sense the location of the new monster's attack. No. 1 gave a rough range of the area, and Tang Ning passed it on to the other party.
The area was very wide, and even with the investigation by No. 1, there were still several cities within the bombing range, so the higher-ups had been slow to make a decision.
They asked Tang Ning if No. 1 would be able to tell the location of the other monster king after getting closer to that area. Tang Ning asked No. 1 and he answered "yes". So they asked Tang Ning to take No. 1 to the area where the new monster was suspected to be, and asked Tang Ning to have No. 1 drive the monster to a deserted place before bombing it.
"Okay, Dr. Tang, if there is anything unusual, please notify us immediately."
After the call ended, Tangning's body softened and she fell into No. 1's arms.
"Father!" Countless chains wrapped around Tang Ning, and countless negative energy poured into Tang Ning's body.
But this amount of energy was not enough. Tang Ning finally understood why the Sleeping Beauty card said that using this card would risk never waking up again.
Indeed, this card can resurrect the dead, but the energy required for resurrection is too much.
Tang Ning had only passively activated this card in the ghost school copy before. He didn't know how much energy Qi Yun had used, but he knew that the B-level copy collapsed.
And now, even though No. 1 has tried very hard to infuse energy into his body, it seems that this negative energy can only keep him awake for a short period of time.
"Give me all your energy..." Tangning said to No.1 who was desperately trying to infuse energy into him, "Listen..."
No. 1 obediently stopped the energy infusion.
Tang Ning was relieved to see that No. 1 was still obedient. He was worried that No. 1 would give all his energy to him and become very weak.
Tangning was so sleepy that she could barely speak. However, this time, No. 1 immediately lowered her head and heard Tangning's soft voice: "Don't kill... that guy who looks like the King of Monsters..."
"It is very likely that they will... fight each other... and the fisherman will benefit..."
"You already look like a human now... but if you hide... they can't find you..."
Her eyelids were getting heavier and heavier, and Tangning's words sounded like she was mumbling in a dream, "Tomorrow at noon... try... injecting a little more energy into my body... and let me wake up, even for a moment..."
As long as he stays awake when leaving the copy, he should be able to successfully exit the game, right
Tang Ning was not sure, but he did not have time to think about it. Sleepiness overwhelmed his mind and he fell into a sweet darkness.
Number 1 hugged its father tightly.
Li Haoyuan and Lu Yang looked at each other in bewilderment. They couldn't understand why Tang Ning suddenly collapsed. Moreover, what Tang Ning had just said had nothing to do with the plan discussed above.
If Li Haoyuan and the others were allowed to choose, they would definitely agree with Tang Ning's plan.
Running away is so tempting. To save the world, their mission is to survive for seven days. The most important thing is to run to a place where they will not be affected by the explosion and survive safely for seven days.
However, Li Haoyuan and the others have no say in this matter. After all, the entire research institute is now controlled by No. 1, and they need No. 1's permission if they want to leave.
"You guys go." No. 1 said coldly. It spoke in a soft tone with long chains hanging from its body.
"Then...then you, Dr. Tang?" Li Haoyuan asked cautiously.
No. 1 lazily raised his head and glanced at him. Compared to before, No. 1's expression was calmer now, and the hostility between his eyebrows did not seem as strong as when Tangning was asleep before. "I'm going to kill that guy and feed him to my father."
The guy in No. 1's mouth was obviously a terrible monster that was suspected to be the king of the new monsters. In its mouth, it seemed to have turned into livestock such as pigs and dogs.
Li Haoyuan was stunned. He had just watched the entire process of No. 1's conversation with Tangning before she fell asleep. No. 1 listened to Tangning like a good boy and seemed to strictly follow her instructions. But he didn't expect No. 1 to be the one who was trying to trick Tangning from behind
This was indeed too dangerous, and Li Haoyuan wanted to dissuade them. However, before he could muster up the courage to speak, No. 1 turned around without even looking at them and jumped onto the window as lightly as a cat.
This monster, whose appearance was between a teenager and a young man, was barefoot, with chains hanging from its trouser legs and wrapped around its ankles. It didn't look behind it and just jumped up.
Countless chains stretched out from the air, spreading endlessly into the distance, and No. 1's feet stepped on these chains. In an instant, the chains took him far away. He hugged Tang Ning like a happy bird, making a sound that could not be captured by humans -
“Get out.”
It's provoking that guy.
It had to kill that guy because it had a premonition that only that guy's energy could prevent the father from falling into sleep so quickly.
It wants its father to talk more, kiss it more, and do many more things instead of just looking at its sleeping father.
The piercing roar came from a distant place like waves. No. 1 heard the endless fighting spirit in the monster's voice, but it didn't care about it for the time being, and looked at the greenery that was blown by the wind.
The scene in front of him was a very common scene in the mountains and forests, but it was the first time that No. 1 had seen such a magnificent scenery.
It stopped, stepped on the center of countless chains, and watched the scene with its father in its arms, somewhat curiously.
A sparrow flew by not far away, and a long chain suddenly rolled up the sparrow and quickly sent it to No. 1's hand. No. 1 could hold the bird with one hand and feel the beating heartbeat in its chest. The poor sparrow was almost frightened to faint. No. 1 threw the sparrow out, and the bird flew desperately into the distance.
The monster that frightened the sparrow hugged its father lovingly and looked at everything outside with curiosity.
Although Father had taken No. 1 with him during the previous monster wave invasion, No. 1 was only responsible for exterminating the monsters and had not observed much about the outside world. Later, No. 1 was brought from the Fourth Research Institute by Tang Ning to the Fourth Research Institute. They took the plane the whole time and saw the sky.
No. 1 carried Tang Ning and continued on his way. It was moving very fast. As the sky darkened, it arrived at a forest near a city.
Ben No. 1 didn't plan to stop, but it was very lively here and fireworks were set off in the sky.
Number 1 has never seen fireworks.
As for time, it actually doesn't know what it is, so why did it explode like that
It raised its head and watched the beams of light flying into the air, and suddenly they bloomed into clusters of gorgeous light.
When No. 1 was about to leave, there was a sudden noise in the woods not far away. No. 1 was sensitive to the noise and saw two species hugging and kissing. He thought this should be the "love" that his father mentioned.
It's just that what the father did to this pair of lovers was a little different. While kissing, the other one put his hand into his beloved's clothes.
Number 1 opened his eyes wide with curiosity.
After looking at the "love" for a while, the man hugged his love just like he hugged his father.
It's just that the man was a little weak, and when he walked with his arms around his lover, he took deep and shallow steps, which showed that he had severe kidney deficiency.
No. 1 didn’t know what kidney deficiency meant, but it looked much more stable, and it raised its tail with a bit of pride.
The man put the woman under a tree and said something to her. His face turned red with love and he punched the woman's shoulder with his fist.
No. 1 didn't understand why this person wanted to hit his love, even though he looked very happy.
Pink fireworks rose high into the sky, and through layer upon layer they were imprinted on the man's face, which looked like he was crying and sad.
No. 1 lowered its head and looked at the father in its arms.
The radiant pink color passed across the father's face, and No. 1 suddenly understood why it had always longed for the father to have a closer contact.
If it succeeds in waking up the father, can it ask the father for the reward
No. 1 lowered its head and kissed its father on the lips. It couldn't wait to get rid of the monster.
Without disturbing the affectionate love between the couple, No. 1 hugged his father, sped up, and ran towards the goal with all his strength!
On the other side, another new monster king was also rushing in the direction of Speedy No. 1.
In the darkness, the two monsters merged at an astonishing speed. They didn't need to be called upon, and wherever they went, they seemed to be attracted by something and kept following the route of their king.
One monster after another gradually gathered into a surging monster tide. The anomalies wherever they passed finally attracted the attention of the humans. At first, the crowd was still excited about the monster tide that broke out in these two directions, but soon, the small monster tide turned into a medium-sized monster tide, and then into a large monster tide. After even a super A-type monster tide, everyone could no longer sit still!
"What's going on?! How come there are two waves of super-A-type monsters! Army! Hurry up and destroy these waves of monsters!"
"Should we activate the ultimate weapon? There are too many monsters!"
"Are you crazy? The ultimate weapon! Count how many cities have been affected by these two waves of super-A-type monsters!"
"Is this new monster king so powerful? How come it can summon two waves of super-A-type monsters?"
"I told you not to wait, not to wait, just bomb all the suspected parties, but you insisted on waiting for No. 1 to investigate the situation. Now, there are many more cities involved than the suspected area we were in before!"
"Don't you think about me?! Have you forgotten how we killed the monster king last year? Can't a simple ultimate weapon kill that monster?! If we can't solve it this time, the monster will hide again! At that time, which city it may hide in, we will bomb that place, do you want to bomb all the places?"
The humans were already arguing over this shocking scene. Some wanted to contact Dr. Tang and ask him to order No. 1 to sense the exact location of the monster king. But at that moment, they were all startled by the images transmitted from the city they were in.
That extremely huge monster giant. If the previous monster frog was a giant frog, then the monster frog in front of this monster giant was like a real frog.
It is impossible to capture its full picture with an airborne camera. Only images transmitted by satellite can show what this huge and terrifying monster looks like.
It has a vague humanoid appearance, walks on two feet, and has two hand-like things, but it has no head. Its eyes are located at two points on its chest, and its mouth is where its belly button is. Every time it takes a step, the houses around it shake.
"This year's King of Monsters! It's back! It's in almost the same state as it was before!"
"How did it suddenly get here? Are we going to launch the ultimate weapon now?"
"I need to leave this city! Where's the helicopter?!"
The people in the conference room were going crazy, and most of them did not want to die together with the monster.
"out--"
The monster opened its bloody mouth and roared, and intestine-like things shot out from its mouth, spraying towards the surrounding houses without hesitation.
"No!!!"
Amid all the panicked gazes, the pipes that were letting in water were suddenly tied up with chains.
Compared with these feeding tubes, the chains wrapped around them were as thin as strands of hair, and seemed like they would be broken at any moment by the tubes' violent struggle. But miraculously, no matter how wildly the tubes swung, the chains firmly fixed them.
The monster, whose eating was interrupted, let out an angry roar. It seemed to move slowly, but in fact it stretched out its hands swiftly and grabbed the chains that bound it. The moment it took the initiative to attack, the chains were flexibly retracted.
"So?!" "Those thin things look like chains." ""
Wu Ji followed the chain as it quickly retracted and saw a figure that was extremely tiny compared to the monster.
It should be said that there were two figures.
A handsome young man was holding another young man in white. They stood in mid-air, with countless crisscrossing chains under their feet, like a spider at the center of a web it had woven.
It was already daybreak, and someone had recognized the identity of the person being held—
"This looks like Dr. Tang! That chain should be the ability of No. 1!"
"What is Dr. Tang doing? Why didn't he follow the plan we agreed on? Didn't he say he wanted to lure these two monsters to the wilderness? How did they end up meeting us here?!"
"Tell me that Dr. Tang sent No. 1 here just for No. 1, betting that we dare not launch the ultimate weapon!"
"Why would he do this?! He doesn't think he can control No. 1 to get rid of the monster, but it's very difficult. Monsters, especially high-level monsters like this, would rather break away from the mental connection with the researcher and get seriously injured than fight another powerful monster to death when they are in real danger!"
"… "
The conference room was filled with discussions. The Fourth Dean was also sitting there. He looked at the image of No. 1 holding Tangning and frowned deeply.
Soon, all the attention was no longer on why Dr. Tang did this, because at this moment, the monster king No. 1 was fighting thoroughly!
No. 1 is very fast and agile. It can use the power of the chain to appear near the monster at any time and continuously attack the King of Monsters. However, its attacks cannot penetrate the defense of the King of Monsters and can only cause weak blows to the King of Monsters.
And perhaps Dr. Tang had given instructions. In this battle, No. 1 was always paying attention to the surrounding buildings. The King of Monsters was very intelligent. It quickly noticed No. 1's concerns and kept using other dangers in the city to set up traps for No. 1.
When it pretended to raise its foot to kick the surrounding houses, No. 1 reached its feet, and countless chains flew out, wrapping around the monster's giant foot, forcibly moving the position of the giant foot -
Bang!!!
The monster came flying at a very fast speed, and No. 1 dodged very quickly, but in a few seconds, the whole body of the giant fell down, as if the sky was about to collapse. It pressed No. 1 with its body, and the big mouth in its abdomen opened to the extreme, and countless blood gushed out!
"Oh no! It looks like number 1 is going to lose!"
"Oh my god! All the buildings are going to collapse!!!"
"Are we going to launch the final weapon now?!"
The despairing scene did not happen. The monster king that looked huge and as huge as a mountain range was held up by countless slender chains.
No buildings were damaged.
The lifted monster king tried to use the tubes to swallow No. 1, but each tube was blocked by chains, and a stalemate formed between them. The monster king found that he could not do anything to No. 1 for a while, and it made a dull rumbling sound:
"We are like that."
“Fusion.”
The sound coming from the screen froze everyone—
"We are fused together. Even if humans use that thing, they can't destroy us!"
The powerful monster king said to No. 1.
"Is that so?!? What do you call that thing? The ultimate weapon?!"
"No, how is this possible?"
Although it sounds incredible that the two monster kings can be fused together to resist the ultimate weapon, it is not impossible, because everyone present can feel that now any of the two monsters can reach the state of the initial monster king.
They add up to no more than two.
No. 1 knelt on the ground, with countless chains wrapped around the father in his arms. Even under such heavy pressure, his most precious thing did not suffer any damage.
"... Fusion?" Its tone was soft, and a hint of sweetness and mockery appeared on its face.
Under the strong pressure, each chain was trembling, and even the soft tone of the voice fluctuated slightly, revealing the cold and gloomy tone inside: "You are so disgusting."
I really want to get rid of this thing quickly.
But many times, you can't have both a pitiful appearance and strong strength.
"How annoying." Number 1, who was being stepped on, raised his head and looked at the inorganic objects in the sky that were constantly filming him.
The ugly look will be recorded.
How about after the cutting is finished... kill all those who saw it being ugly
Everyone in the conference room shuddered suddenly. In seconds, they opened their eyes wide in disbelief, because at this moment, cracks appeared on No. 1's seemingly smooth skin, and blood-like lines covered its skin, as if eye-like cracks had opened in the abyss, and countless chains extended out of its body.
The chains quickly wrapped around the huge monster, and purple lightning burst out from the chains. The binding force of the lightning, which was several times more terrifying than before, enveloped the huge monster.
The monster looked at its suddenly stronger opponent in horror. Although it kept persuading No. 1 to merge with it, in fact, when the two sides merged, the stronger side would have a more dominant position, and it did not want its consciousness to be swallowed up.
It wanted to escape, but the chain was much faster than it could move, and instantly blocked all its escape routes. The dazzling electric light emitted to the extreme, turning into a brilliance like daylight.
…
The conference room was dead silent. Everyone stared at the screen with bated breath. After the dazzling lightning ended, the chains broke apart again, and the monster that seemed to be crushing No. 1 turned into a charcoal-like existence and was thrown out by No. 1.
On the body of this monster, countless chains were pulled out, and one chain was wrapped around a ball of black light.
Everyone gasped.
That monster king has another group of original energy!
As long as No. 1 integrates this source of energy, it will become the king of new monsters that all classes are helpless against! Even if the ultimate weapon is activated now, it will not be enough!
Some collapsed in their seats, some shook their heads, and said, "I opposed this plan from the beginning, but you guys insisted it was feasible... It's over, it's all over now, we created a demon that we can't do anything about..."
The No. 1 in the picture is indeed a demon-like existence. Its body seems unable to retract so many chains in a short period of time. The densely packed chains make it difficult to see its original body. The chain wrapped with black light spots moves to the center, and it seems that it is about to merge.
It slowly approached the sphere in the center that was held up by countless chains.
When the chain that was wrapped into a sphere dispersed, a sleeping figure in white clothes appeared in the center of the picture.
He slept soundly, and even the fierce battle he had just experienced could not wake him up from his sweet dream.
"This... this Dr. Tang, is No. 1 going to kill Dr. Tang who is controlling him? I just know that when the monster is strong enough, how can any researcher be able to control the monster!"
"Oh my god, I don't want to watch it anymore."
Under everyone's gaze, that precious light spot containing powerful energy merged into Tang Ning's body.
"What's going on?!" "What is No. 1 doing? Is he trying to turn Dr. Tang into a monster too?!"
"No, look, Dr. Tang's body has not changed!"
In the picture, Tang Ning floated in the air without the need for any chains.
On the other side, Li Haoyuan and Lu Yang stayed in a place that was said to be safe.
"I don't know how the boss is doing now." Lu Yang looked at the time and said happily: "In three minutes, it will be seven days. Great, I can survive this dungeon again. Brother Li, where are you? Should we go out and play together?"
Li Haoyuan didn't say anything. He not only stared at his watch, but also kept an eye on the movements around him at all times.
Two minutes left.
Root after chain tried to be retracted into the body, but the excessive burst of power made it impossible for No. 1 to change back to a flawless form in a short period of time. Even though most of the chains had been retracted, the cracks on its skin had not yet healed.
This is not very aesthetically pleasing.
The clothes were torn by holes...
No. 1 felt a little distressed when he looked at his clothes, but now all his attention was focused on his father. He saw his father moving his fingertips while floating in the air, which meant that his father was about to wake up.
Very good.
No. 1 was so happy that his tail started wagging. He stared at his father floating in the air and slowly opened his eyes. He felt so happy that his body seemed to be glowing.
No…
There really were white spots of light surrounding the father! There was a powerful force swallowing up the father who was so close!
What is going on? !
No. 1 realized that its father disappeared in a situation that it could not understand. It hugged its father in panic and transferred energy into its father's body at all costs, wanting to give all its negative energy to its father.
But it’s not enough, it’s far from enough, the force is just too strong.
Without hesitation, it stretched out its hand, dug out the powerful monster heart on its body, and placed it on the father's slowly rising and falling chest. At this moment, the monster characteristics on its body began to disappear, the chains fell off its body, and the cracks on its skin slowly healed.
Its appearance changed at an alarming speed, as if a strange shell disappeared from its body. Everyone was stunned to see this scene. They wondered if this was not caused by the rapid loss of power from No. 1, but why would No. 1 evolve more and more into the image of a human
The beautiful facial features on the face of number 1 have changed. They have not suddenly dissolved and turned into a bumpy monster. Instead, there are many sharp lines. For example, the straight nose has a steeper arc, turning into a beautiful hump nose. The innocent puppy eyes are constantly lengthening, and the drooping eye tails are slightly raised. The round lips have become thinner...
"Isn't this... isn't this Qi Yunhu?!"
Qi Yunhu, a young genius who appeared like a meteor many years ago, was said to be the only human with special abilities after monsters were born. Later, the young man died in the fight with the Monster King.
The ultimate weapon alone could not severely damage the Monster King in his prime. That genius once pushed the Monster King to his limit.
When the Fourth Dean saw this scene, he finally could not sit still anymore despite having remained calm.
A few days ago, he was reluctant to let the dean take Tangning No. 1 away.
—"Shi Huajing, do you really believe that a monster can have human emotions?!"
—"How can a monster have emotions?"
The dean's response stunned him. He didn't expect that the one who always supported emotional control would answer like this.
—"The only thing that can be controlled by emotions is."
— "Number 1... was never just a monster."
—"Monsters will always be monsters. They will only bring despair to this world. I have only added hope that everyone thought of before."
Drops - The player has successfully survived for seven days -
Tang Ning heard a cold mechanical sound ringing in his mind. He woke up from his sleep and met a pair of eyes that seemed to be about to shed tears.
And complete the advanced mission "Rescue" -
The owner of the eyes came closer and found that No. 1's eyes were different, and his other facial features were also different. He had a handsome appearance.
As this person kept approaching him, Tang Ning felt for no reason that the other person was number 1.
Congratulations to the players for successfully completing the dungeon "Ghost World"!
It finally became him, but unfortunately the one in his arms was gone forever.
