Capítulo 955: Chapter 934: The Gamble
Wu Wen lay on the ground, with only half of her body left, barely supporting her upper body at a 30° angle.
There was no joy of victory, only a look of horror.
Because before her lay the Deputy Prison Warden,
even though he had only half of his body left, his head had been pierced through and simultaneously eroded by the Prison Director’s fractals and the taboo.
His arm was stretched forward, trying to crush Wu Wen’s head.
It was only the mass of flesh and blood fibers attached to Bergen’s back that barely stopped this action.
Finally,
this Deputy Prison Warden, this genius of the old era, ceased his life activities. He died by his own blade and in the hands of the person he once admired most.
Huff… Huff…
Wu Wen had expected this battle to be difficult, but she hadn’t thought it would be this hard.
She had given it everything she had, knowing that any mistake in the process would result in her death.
While taking deep breaths, blood continuously choked out from her mouth.
But Wu Wen endured the pain, ordering the blade to withdraw all taboo influences back into the blade so that Mr. Qu could recover normally.
Watching the Deputy Prison Warden’s body gradually dissipate, listening to the ssage of score acquisition.
Wu Wen heavily fell to the ground, unable to speak a word,
Her gaze fixed on the “brother” in front of her, who still stood there, guarding her side.
Finally,
Wu Wen displayed a sort of smile on her face,
both a joy of victory and a helplessness at witnessing the power of the upper echelon.
“As the inheritor of the great cerebral selection area, acquiring the brain and completing the divine status allows to disguise as the Prison Director’s true form.
With Mr. Qu, possessing essential flesh and blood, I thought we could suppress normally, but it turned out we barely won.
If I hadn’t made the decision to seize the weapon, Mr. Qu and I would have perished alongside this Deputy Prison Warden.
Is this just the level of the fifth one?
What kind of monsters are the four in front… However, the shop owner is in fourth place. Our main targets are 2 and 3.
I’m badly injured, even basic recovery will take a long ti.
Will the ga’s rules allow to recover? If the Skin Bag Guests are still guarding outside, it will really be troubleso.”
Wu Wen wanted to gather her spirits, to regenerate her body, to recover in the shortest ti possible.
But as she activated her pituitary ability, her already exhausted and overloaded divine status instantly crashed, and she lost consciousness.
At the sa ti,
Wu Wen’s long knife suddenly moved, the bandages wrapped around the hilt slowly unwound, revealing an ancient flesh that seeped into her skin like tentacles.
…
She didn’t know how long she had been silent.
Wu Wen suddenly sat up,
There was no presence of Death Row Inmates around, nor Mr. Qu’s presence; it wasn’t even the Central Prison, just an endless corridor.
A seemingly very ordinary tal corridor, yet extrely familiar.
Wu Wen was certain she had been here before, but couldn’t rember when exactly.
“I seem to have lost my consciousness and then ended up here… I’ve been here before, but this mory is too vague, I can’t rember at all.
Is it related to the Prison Director? Because of the first complete mimicry, did my consciousness form so kind of connection?
But it’s not right, the environnt and structure here have nothing to do with the Central Prison, it’s just an ordinary tal corridor, what is this place?”
Wu Wen tried to make her consciousness return to her body, forcing herself to wake up, but found it was useless, as if she was trapped here, needing to et so condition to leave.
She could only move forward along the tal corridor, pushing open the only door at the end.
Inside was not a Death Row Inmate’s cell, but a duplex apartnt building,
“I’ve been here before, and it seems like I ca with Luo Di, and Hua Yuan… we ca here to et soone, who was it? Why can’t I rember?”
Just as Wu Wen was puzzled,
a sudden sound of footsteps ca from the duplex stairwell,
She instinctively looked over and was first t with a swarm of tentacles surging like a tide.
Gray, dense, complex, deep, and changing.
Even as Wu Wen had absorbed the Prison Director’s brain, she could still feel the intense threat, instinctively stepping back.
But the next second,
she blinked, and all the tentacles disappeared,
Leaving only a man descending in slippers, wearing a pink pajama covered in brain patterns.
Beneath his black hair was a face that seed to be between Caucasian and Asian.
“Mr. Kraft…”
A long-forgotten na suddenly surfaced and was called out from Wu Wen’s mouth.
“You still rember , huh… oh.”
Letting out a big yawn, Mr. Kraft ca into the living room and made a cup of coffee for Wu Wen, seemingly adding so strange ingredients.
“Sit down, no need to panic, you’re very safe.”
The related mories slowly erged, and she was filled with doubt about the man in front of her.
Based on her current understanding of the Corner, the residents of Vortex Town were the earliest monsters to reach the deeper layers of the Corner.
The mysterious Mr. Kraft before her was clearly not a being of the Corner but an outsider, much like the comic store owner.
Or perhaps a direct subordinate of the Prison Director, similar to Bergen.
Or even a presence equivalent to the Prison Director…
Kraft brought over two cups of coffee, and one could see a wriggling tentacle leg floating on the surface, making a strange crackling sound.
“Back then, you, Luo Di, and Hua Yuan ca to . I actually favored Luo Di the most… after all, he accepted a part of my tentacles.
Unfortunately, a friend of mine already placed a bet on him, and Luo Di himself did not show any talent in the realm of tentacles.
Quite unexpectedly, Miss Wu Wen, your performance was quite impressive. I greatly admire your mimicry.
Moreover, you have co into contact with and obtained a special item I quietly placed in this ‘wager’. It’s called the forbidden blade.
As you have felt, this blade doesn’t belong to your place; I brought it from afar.
It was first acquired by Bergen,
To be honest, I initially had high hopes for that kid, but he ultimately ran into problems.
Since your mimicry resembles mine and you’ve obtained the item I left in the wager, I have no reason not to bet on you either.”
“Wager, bet… Are you an existence from beyond the universe? Is everything happening here just a ga organized by your group?”
Wu Wen frowned, clearly feeling her dissatisfaction.
Kraft quickly waved his arms, a smile on his face, with gray-white tentacles appearing between his teeth from ti to ti, but they would soon be suppressed.
“I’m a good person. I wouldn’t joke with your lives. My friends and I happened to pass by and found that you were being subjected to so external influence, so we thought we’d intervene.
After all,
the world my friends are in went through the sa thing, but they got through it.
This malicious infiltration and rampant spread seem to be affecting multiple universes. The situation here is particularly severe, so much so that I dare not make any big moves, fearing the thing behind it might notice.
Anyway,
I’ll place my bet on you.
Please perform well, stay firm on your path of mimicry, and continue. Perhaps what you deem as the [end] is rely so new beginning.”
Wu Wen was still confused, “Obviously it’s a very dangerous matter, why do you still have to make it into a wager? If I fail to et your expectations, what will happen if I lose?”
“Because it’s fun… Nothing will happen if you lose, except that I will lose face.
So, please, Miss Wu Wen, keep it up. I trust my judgnt is still quite good, hahaha~”
Kraft’s face twitched occasionally, as if cracking into so uneasy smile.
“Hurry up and drink the coffee, and continue your ga.”
“Oh…”
Wu Wen looked at the tentacle floating on the coffee’s surface and drank it all in one gulp.
The gray tentacle seed full of vitality, unable to be digested, wriggling wantonly inside her, evoking strong waves of rejection.
Ugh~~
Wu Wen suddenly awoke, supporting herself with her hands, vomiting continuously.
However, what spilled onto the ground were all fractal tissues, spurred by her mimicry of the Prison Director’s right arm, creating a proliferative structure.
She returned to the Central Prison,
her once battered body miraculously restored, gripping the long knife without a hint of agitation.
And there lay an egg structure made of flesh nearby.
Due to excessive consumption and severe physical injury, Mr. Qu, even with his immortal flesh, had turned into an egg structure, requiring a long ti to recover.
However,
the egg’s surface seed to have so muscular tissues.
Part of the Fifth Death Row Inmate, Deputy Prison Warden Bergen’s flesh seed to be absorbed by him.
Recalling her recent interaction with Kraft, Wu Wen seed to sense a higher existence, gaining a rough understanding of the whole matter and what lay beyond it.
She did not hesitate, slung the egg on her back, and ard herself with the long knife.
The white worms in the scene began to fade away.
She thought the Skin Bag Guest would be waiting outside, but there was nothing.
Just as Wu Wen pondered where to go,
a question mark light shone down,
and not far away, a question mark mark appeared on the passage wall, indicating a mysterious store.
