After drinking enough water, Sheyan's mind was more or less awake. He slowly opened his eyes, but due to the glaring light, he shut his eyes again. At this moment, Zi's gentle voice resounded in his ears.
"We are very safe now, don't be in a hurry to get up. First recall your previous experience, then adapt to your surroundings. You just suffered a severe concussion … …"
Sheyan took a deep breath, and continued lying down on the bed. After roughly a minute, he opened his eyes and sat up.
"How long has it been since the explosion?"
Zi checked the time.
"7 hours."
Sheyan nodded and replied.
"According to convention, after completing the main mission, if we don't receive any side missions, then we can only stay in this world for 12 hours. Oh, very good, we still have 4 hours of buffer time."
"I've entered this world before, so I know the start of a side mission. Let's first find that bastard, and activate the side mission. Then we can decide on how long we can stay in this world. Ouch! "
Sheyan groaned because of the intense pain in his back. A gush of reddish-gold negative energy from the core of the explosion had splashed onto his back, directly corroding into it. Even now, it hadn't dissipated yet.
This reddish-gold negative energy was like a maggot, stubbornly staying in Sheyan's body. Even the 'Stairway of the Sun' was useless against it. Every time Sheyan's wounds healed, the negative energy would mercilessly corrode into his body! How could his injuries be healed like this?
Zi meticulously wiped away the blood seeping out from Sheyan's wounds. The temperature of the blood was exceedingly high, it could be said to be boiling. Sheyan shut his eyes, gritting his teeth as he waited for the intense pain to subside. Then he said.
"We can now look for a guy called Vincent ….. from him, there is a huge chance of obtaining a main mission. Apart from that, if Mr Vincent disappoints us, then the main programmer of Skynet, Mos Dyson, will definitely give us a side mission. Of course, to obtain the trust of the latter, the difficulty of obtaining the mission will be much higher. Therefore, I will not choose him as my first target."
Mr. Vincent had not appeared for a long time, so there was reason to believe that he had almost faded from our memories. Yes, he was the director of Cyberdyne Systems who was about to be marginalized, the cynical man who immediately called the police after making a deal with Sheyan … … But he certainly didn't expect that the guy he betrayed would return one day, and this time with a large group of people!
Sheyan grimaced in pain as he got up from the bed. He clutched his shoulder as he struggled to stand up. He could still feel the golden-red negative energy tormenting his body. As a last resort, he could only use anesthetics to seal off the surrounding nerves. Only then did he recover a little, but Sheyan's battle prowess had also been reduced to 50% of his peak state.
After they went out, they got on a bus and drove to the headquarters of Cyberdyne Systems. The bus was empty. Sheyan and the others sat at the back of the bus. The atmosphere was a little heavy for a while, and no one spoke.
Sheyan closed his eyes and pondered for a while, then he slowly exhaled and said in the party channel.
"That's amazing."
Sheyan's words seemed to have shattered some kind of barrier, as everyone felt a sense of relief. Only then did Zi speak.
"Are you talking about the mastermind behind the scenes?"
Sheyan's face was as calm as still water. He nodded and said, "That's right.
This person is ruthless, meticulous, and extremely decisive. That's not all, but more importantly, he's very cautious. As soon as he smells that he might be in danger, he'll immediately leave. He'll never do anything that he's not confident in. This means that it'll be very, very difficult to kill him! I'm afraid we'll have to be careful of him for a long time. "
"But his plan still failed," Zi said with an encouraging look in her eyes. "All in all, you've broken through all the traps he set up. You were completely unprepared before you went through the traps. This is not a fluke, but a reflection of your strength."
Sheyan smiled bitterly.
"To be honest, I have no confidence in surviving this guy's third attack, but there's good news. He probably won't use the bomb he planted before. With the current strength of contestants, a bomb of such power is almost enough to destroy the balance. Even Reef and I can easily kill us as long as we're in the core area of the explosion. This kind of taboo item will either be greatly restricted in its use, like MCDH's ability to make bullets fly, or it'll be extremely rare. "
"But why would that guy kill contestants on his side?" asked Mogensha curiously.
Sanzi said,
"Either he'll benefit greatly from doing so, or he'll prevent us from benefiting from it."
Reef also said,
"Although the contestants on the other side failed to complete their mission, they still killed Sarah Connor and Rhys after all. The way boss used them was so tricky that few people would have thought of it. So, is it possible that the compensation they'll get for space is the extra time they can stay in this world? That's the most common way of compensation. "
Sheyan pondered for a moment.
"What you're saying is … the mastermind doesn't want to see these people stay?"
Zi looked out of the window of the bus and murmured, "The mastermind knows the process of the Divine Root.
"The mastermind is aware of the procedures related to the Root of the God's Artifact. If … and I'm saying if, one of the steps requires you to gather a certain number of powerful spirits within a limited period of time, then the actions of the mastermind make sense."
Sanzi, who had also begun to integrate into the party, suddenly said, "Yeah, that's right.
"That's right. Besides, there are also benefits for that guy to kill people. Based on his ability to indirectly dictate fate, it's definitely not impossible for him to kill those contestants. The simplest way is to sow discord among them. First, let them kill each other, then show up to clean up the situation!"
Sheyan shut his eyes and pondered for a while, before concluding.
He concluded, "So, let's reverse-engineer the way the mastermind thinks. First, he followed you in the previous world, weakened your strength at the most critical moment, then continued to follow you in the second world. He used his fate ability to create such a powerful trap. "
"At this time, the mastermind should have felt that everything was foolproof. Unfortunately, his scheme was thwarted by me. His reaction at this time is very crucial! A person's reaction after suffering a setback could be said to be of utmost importance. After this guy realised that the contestants he used were uncontrollable, he resorted to massacring them in the cradle, and once again laid down a vicious trap. After setting up the trap, the mastermind felt that we might have a chance to threaten his life, so he immediately returned. "
"This trap is very terrifying. The mastermind probably wanted to kill three birds with one stone. First, he could kill some members of our party. Second, if I'm not wrong, the initial storyline mission of the Seed of God may be closely related to that abandoned warehouse! Third, he destroyed the corpses to prevent the dead contestants from revealing some information about this guy. For example, if he used a gun, there would be bullet holes in the corpses. If he used a knife, there would be no doubt that there would be knife wounds …. "
"This is a cruel, cold-blooded, meticulous and cautious guy! He won't give the enemy too much of a chance! "
Sheyan came to a conclusion.
Reef suddenly asked.
"How do you know that he has left this world?"
Sheyan answered seriously.
"If he stays in this world, then all kinds of bizarre accidents will definitely happen when we deal with the explosion."
Reef nodded slightly, but Zi continued.
"I still have one question, and that is, the motive of the Stockholm Party. They must have paid a heavy price so far. They entered the world twice in a row to hunt him down, and they even used the precious explosives from before. Is it worth it for a Seed of God that they may not be able to get back? "
When Sheyan heard this, he slowly said, "That's right.
"I've been thinking about this question for a long time, but I didn't have a clue until just now. You guys don't have that experience, so it's hard to speculate the reason behind it. "
Zi said seriously.
"Go ahead."
Sheyan took a deep breath. The terrifying afterimage of the Cardinal flashed before his eyes, the bizarre underground reproductive system, the Bloody World invitation letter that looked like a map fragment, and the bizarre conflict between Noah Realm C, which he belonged to, and the superiors ….
"I think the Stockholm Party's relentless pursuit may have a lot to do with my experience in the Bloody World. For the parties of other Realms, if they can get rid of me earlier, they may have a lot less trouble …."
Zi was stunned when she heard Sheyan's words. She thought for a moment and could not help asking.
"If we calculate it normally, then the next time the Realm Battlefield opens might really be coming soon. You mean, the Stockholm Party's actions were instructed by their Realms? "
Sheyan nodded. He dragged his words, but there was no hesitation in his voice.
"Yes. But. Yes."
