Chapter 163
Chapter 163: machine, flesh, altar… Can this even be called Blasphemy?
Ten-Cang Rice City.
Inside the city.
Shangguan Yingxue looked at the tall building in front of her, feeling a subtle sense of incongruity deep within her heart.
In the air, an extremely faint smell of rust lingered.
It was as if someone had used air freshener to cover up a murder scene.
Before coming to this survival world, she was a police officer, so she had seen quite a few death scenes.
Therefore, she was quite sensitive to this kind of odor.
Upon arriving outside this building, Shangguan Yingxue completely confirmed that the source of that rust smell was emanating from right here.
“Here…”
She stopped in her tracks, her face tinged with hesitation.
The man in white leading them turned his head, looking at Shangguan Yingxue with a smile.
“What is wrong? Respected Train Captain?”
Shangguan Yingxue took two steps back; she hadn’t paid much attention earlier, but now, for some reason, she always felt that the expressions on the faces of these men in white didn’t quite look like something humans could display.
So fake…
“I… remembered something, I left something on the Train and need to get it back. So… you guys go in first, I will be right there.”
With that, she turned around and prepared to leave.
However, right at this moment.
The smile on the face of the leading man in white instantly vanished.
It raised its arm and released a firework into the sky.
From all directions, a large number of men in white rushed over.
Various parts of their bodies bore varying degrees of mechanical prosthetics.
In a very short time, everyone was surrounded.
“Y-You guys, what are you doing! We are your city lord’s guests!”
Someone still couldn’t see the situation clearly and actually uttered such foolish words.
Shangguan Yingxue knitted her brows tightly, gripping the longbow in her hand, as she recalled not long ago when Zhao Lin refused to get off the Train.
Did she already notice something was wrong back then?
“Respected Train Captain… You guys, go in.”
The previous fake respect was gone.
The expression on the man in white’s face changed to an angry one, and with its body fused with machine elements, stripped of that face, it completely made people unable to see the slightest trace of humanity in them.
“W-What on earth are you guys doing? Dammit! I am going back too!”
A Train Captain felt fear arise in his heart.
He pulled out a few grenades and smoke bombs from his pocket, pulled the pins, and threw them out.
He wanted to escape using the smoke and explosion.
However, this fellow forgot one thing.
Smoke could obscure human vision, but that did not mean it worked against this kind of cyborg.
A rope was looped around his neck, and from within the smoke, he was forcefully dragged back.
Zhao An and the Train Captains he led changed their expressions all at once.
Right now, no matter how foolish a person was, they could tell something was wrong here.
“Think of a way to escape!”
Zhao An shouted aloud, grabbing a large handful of seeds from his pocket and throwing them out.
His Mental Power was crazily consumed, and plants that grew wildly sprang from the ground, attacking this gang of white-clothed machine men.
For a moment, they were actually able to suppress them.
Everyone fled in all directions.
However…
“Indigenous people are still indigenous people; even after modification, they are still so useless, humph.”
A mocking voice came from the direction of the building.
Only to see that atop the building, a man wearing glasses and a white lab coat was looking at them with sarcasm.
“Yo, juniors, stop running, you won’t be able to escape~”
In the air, ropes charged with current instantly shredded those plants, blocking all escape routes.
Zhao An still wanted to make a final struggle, feeling his Mental Power, he gritted his teeth, let it continue to drop, and used his Talent.
Just as he was about to scatter another handful of seeds, his inner peace was disrupted by a sentence.
“Don’t bother trying. You guys are just a bunch of level 3, at most level 4, little trash. It is impossible for anyone inside this Platform to break through my defense.”
The man jumped down from high in the air, sizing up the few people in front of him.
“One, two, three… nine. Truly quite troublesome. Still missing one? Huh? Why has the connection with those few machine men been cut off? Forget it, it is not urgent anyway.”
He did not think too much about it as the chains continued to contract, binding everyone who still had the intention to run away.
Especially Zhao An.
After forcibly using a large amount of his Talent once, his Mental Power at this moment had already reached the lowest critical value of 1 point.
Madness…
The world in Zhao An’s eyes was covered with a layer of blood red.
“Your Talent is quite good, pity~ you came too early.”
The machine men constantly pressed forward, forcing the Train Captains to head toward the building.
It was not hard to see that this man did not want to kill them.
The building—no, to be precise, this was an altar.
A thick smell of blood hit them the moment they entered the interior of the altar.
People, human fragments… blood, pools of flesh.
machines and flesh appeared alternately in this altar.
The man with the appearance of a scientist licked his lips.
“Just a little more, just a little more, and I can gain the favor of Lord God! It was not in vain that I spent so many years! The last person… just missing the last person! You guys wait for me obediently!”
A pair of mechanical jet wings appeared in the man’s body.
Flames jetted as he flew into mid-air, intending to go to that Platform to see why the connection with its machine men had been severed, and by the way, capture that last person.
A gun rang out.
A bullet accurately hit his mechanical arm.
Following closely were the second and third shots.
More machine men fell to the ground in response.
“What?”
The man looked around in puzzlement, finally finding in the direction where the gunfire rang out…
…the youth who had been standing there at some unknown time.
“Who are you? The tenth person? No, the tenth sacrifice should be a female? Who on earth are you?”
On the high Platform, Ebony danced in the palm of Train Conductor Ye Qiyan.
How should this question be answered?
The corners of his mouth slowly curled up.
Got it.
“Guess?”
“Guess your head! Attack him!”
The man pressed a button, and hundreds of machine men crawled up from the blood-colored altar, charging to kill Train Conductor Ye Qiyan.
“machine combined with flesh, huh? Your taste is really quite poor.”
He reached out and snapped his fingers.
Red Tear Demon stood quietly beside him.
“Draw your sword.”
The tear carver sword was slowly drawn out.
Afterwards.
He slashed.
Crimson sword Qi diffused downward.
A huge, flat sword scar appeared on top of this altar.
The altar shifted out of position and actually began to collapse.
“Dammit! You! What have you done! Do you know what you are doing! You are committing Blasphemy! You are courting death!”
Hm?
Blasphemy?
These words sounded…
…quite interesting.
“If this counts as Blasphemy against the gods, then the god in your mouth is far too cheap.”
Hum~
The famous blade, Heavenly Moonveil, was drawn from the Armament Space.
The moment it was drawn, the azure sword Qi and the red sword Qi of the tear carver shone brilliantly upon each other.
The originally vertical cut mark turned into a cross shape.
“Show me some real skills, senior.”
