Chapter 2050: Amoeba Charging!

~6 min read 1,133 words

Ten minutes later.

Above the ruins of New York, the sky-full of dust clouds seemed like an ever-present mist, blocking the sky.

Hanging in the air, standing outside the instance exit, Lin An lowered his head in thought, not knowing what he was thinking.

The clue was cut off.

He originally wanted to obtain more information about the Savior from the Red Empress, including how that guy in the Skull actually died.

But under his repeated 'confirmation,' the Red Empress's memory seemed to have had a middle section deleted, leaving only the memory of Fei'ouna entering the instance.

Only one piece of information was useful.

"The previous host of e013, that is, that guy in the Skull, did not die completely in the Skull; rather, after death, part of his corpse was brought into the Skull."

"Number 77 said this before: the previous Savior was split in half!"

The clue was broken too severely.

No matter how Lin tried to reconstruct the situation, he could only obtain a vague guess.

Andre obtained the previous Savior's corpse before entering the Biohazard Crisis instance and brought it into the instance.

And within this part of the corpse, e013 was retained.

"This way, it can explain why Fei'ouna (Andre) would mutate, the Red Empress would mutate, the Biohazard Crisis instance could lead to the Skull! Andre would inexplicably run into the Skull and then run out again!"

"Everything originates from the corpse of the previous Savior!"

Memory flashes raced by, Lin An let out a long breath, and the scene before him finally froze on the War Star Level corpse summoned by Andre.

Indeed, that War Star Individual corpse also has a problem.

If the speculation were bolder, Lin An could imagine how Andre obtained that War Star corpse!

"After the previous Savior was killed by being split in half, the normal corpse fell into the Skull, forming a special event. The other half fell into a certain Secret Realm world, 'smashing' to death that world's War Star! After Andre discovered this, he was greatly shocked, so he decisively kept the War Star Individual corpse as a trump card, and brought along that half of the Savior's corpse, trying to make use of it!"

"Under e013's instructions, Andre entered the Biohazard Crisis instance, trying first to preserve e013. After failing, he entered the Skull to piece together the corpse!"

"But it's obvious that, during the piecing‑together process,... e013 must have deceived him; Andre didn't know what he was doing. He was directly contaminated by the mutated Skull!"

Lin An's face changed repeatedly; as he continually reconstructed the truth, another truth that almost killed him also surfaced.

"Andre might come out, likely influenced by the corpse! Because Savior can sense Savior! That corpse knows I'm on Earth! Of course, the corpse may not possess true consciousness anymore, and it's not certain I'll enter the Skull."

"But after I appeared, Andre also, under the influence of the previous corpse, tried to keep me in the Skull!"

"Is it the obsession of the previous Savior? Because I originally belong to his kind, occupying me.. he might possibly revive?"

A chill pierced to the bone.

Lin An slowly closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

If that's really the case, then he truly walked around the gates of hell! The terror of the Skull is far more frightening than he imagined.

Fortunately, Number 77 discovered a clue; fortunately, the Second Will unexpectedly became his trump card to break the situation.

Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable!

"Is this the power of the Savior?.."

"A corpse.. can actually complete a layout."

"What kind of existence is the other Savior who could drive him to flee, throwing his thoughts into chaos..."

Opening his eyes, Lin An gazed grimly at the sky above.

Through the dim haze, beyond the starry sky above his head, a pair of cold, merciless eyes seemed to always be able to see him— the Breaker's descent!

"Lin Dui, do we really want to keep this thing?"

"What is e013? I feel like you're a bit..."

Not really understanding what Lin An knows, and also worrying about what.

Xiong Hanzi scratched his head, looking at the Fiona being carried while flying, and then glanced at Lin An rushing to the next instance.

He could feel that, after coming out, Lin An seemed to have something on his mind.

"Keep her, but don't tell others about the instance affairs; just treat her as Fiona. Don't worry about me, it's no big deal."

Turning his head, Lin An smiled calmly, not intending to speak of the Breaker's matter.

This pressure is too great; even speaking of it would be meaningless— he just needs to face it alone.

He intends to keep the Red Empress; although there is risk, after Lin An repeatedly weighed the pros and cons, the benefits still outweigh the drawbacks.

Not only can the Red Empress help him collect instance energy more quickly, but e013's database is also important.

Know yourself and know the enemy, and you will have a chance to win.

Even if the previous Savior could in no way resist another Breaker, experience still has value. Especially for Lin An himself, any information left by the previous Savior is an immeasurably precious treasure.

Moreover, although the Red Empress cannot activate e013, the hamster on him might be able to.

Just in case..

"If the hamster wakes up, maybe it can open the database. Even I could, without bloodshed, be equivalent to directly consuming the previous...?"

Lin An clearly remembered that Number 77's evaluation of the previous Savior was a Rule‑Body Dual System!

And those rules highly overlapped with his own!

Things like rules largely depend on cognition! Even without a corpse, just a piece of information would be enough to make up for his shortcomings in rules!

By then, he would be equivalent to inheriting the previous Savior's rules, plus the Three Systems Path, plus Number 77, plus having two Savior Systems in hand— he might not lack hope of counter‑killing the Breaker!

Although the hope is slim, for Lin An this is already enough!

Even..

"Chu An..!"

"If Chu An could wake up, if Chu An could still help me. If the secret on Chu An truly is as I guessed, then hope would be even greater..."

Suppressing the various thoughts in his heart, Lin An glanced at Qing Kai's information and also couldn't be bothered to reply.

As long as he's not dead, he now just wants to restart the instance and see Chu An!

Twenty-six hours later.

Long An's underground core.

"Boom!!!"

As if bathed in endless blue light, the entire underground core seemed submerged in an ocean of energy.

A pitch-black spatial door strained open!

"Kelai'en!"

"Prepare to link!"
