Chapter 3276: The Unsolvable Lamp Sister

In the secret room, Su Xiao put down the medical record in his hand. There are three clues on it.

1. The dynasty and the Sun Church are guarding a secret, and this secret is the cause of Beast-fication.

2. The origin of Patient No. 72.

3. Patient No. 5, the Seventh-Stage Beast-fied person, is actually the old knight he had met a few times before.

Su Xiao had not expected this. Only a few obscure clues confirmed this. First is the old knight's height; a height of over three meters is not something an ordinary person can have. Second is the old knight's vitality.

When he first saw the old knight and the Nightmare King one-on-one, Su Xiao discovered that the old knight was injured, but at that time the old knight had been hit by a 【Sun's Wrath Apollo】.

Now it seems that before being bombed by Apollo, the old knight was already injured, then he was bombed by Apollo, and then he was ambushed by Zui Ya.

Having been eroded by the Ancient God energy for so long, the old knight was still in a severely injured state, yet in this state, he snatched the 【Scroll Fragment】 from the Sun Monarch.

No matter how you look at it, the old knight couldn't have lasted this long. With this information, Su Xiao still didn't notice that the old knight was a Seventh-Stage Beast-fied person. This was partly his own mistake and partly because he was misled by the Trace King in Room No. 5. The Trace King in Room No. 5 was the one he had always thought was the Seventh-Stage Beast-fied person.

Regarding the secret hidden by the dynasty and the Sun Church, there are no clues yet. Su Xiao even suspects that all those in the know are dead.

And the last Patient No. 72, this is Lamp Sister. Just as Su Xiao guessed before, Lamp Sister was indeed transformed by the joint efforts of the Sun Church and the castle doctors.

Judging from Lamp Sister's figure, even if she wasn't a beauty in the past, she was a "back-view killer," but now she has been transformed into a monster guarding the depths of the Nightmare.

Lamp Sister is undoubtedly a pitiful person, but Su Xiao has no pity in his heart. Judging from the current situation, in this Nightmare, Lamp Sister is invincible one-on-one.

The main purpose of transforming Lamp Sister was actually to prevent the old knight from returning to the castle ward to snatch the Painter's Blood. In other words, with the scene bonus of the Nightmare Castle Ward, she can go toe-to-toe with the Beast-fied old knight.

If we rank the combat power of the world's big bosses Su Xiao already knows, it is:

Sun Bird Taihakak (located in the Sand World) -> Old Knight (Beast-fied, located in any area) -> Lamp Sister (located in the Nightmare Castle Ward) -> Donkey Brother (Light Flame Lord) -> Sun Monarch (Sun Monarch and Donkey Brother are not the same person; Donkey Brother is the ancestor of the Sun Monarch) -> Nightmare King.

From this, it can be seen that going head-to-head with Lamp Sister is very unwise. This can be seen from Zui Ya's previous actions; the other party had no intention of fighting Lamp Sister and immediately played dead, which was very wise.

Lamp Sister has the most unsolvable characteristic: Pain Division. As long as you attack her, it will cause her to split into "same-phase individuals," which means splitting into another Lamp Sister.

The split Lamp Sister still has the Pain Division characteristic. If a continuous large-scale ability is used, there will be a group of Lamp Sisters in front of you, and at that time, Lamp Sister's Turbid Light will be unavoidable.

During this period, Lamp Sister has a main body. Her main body will devour "same-phase individuals" and enhance the Pain Division ability within a certain period.

Assuming Lamp Sister devours a "same-phase individual," the Pain Division characteristic will change to: every time she suffers an attack and pain, she will split into two "same-phase individuals" simultaneously.

According to the statistics of the castle doctors, Lamp Sister's Pain Division can stack up to 10. In other words, attacking Lamp Sister's main body once will cause her main body to split into 10 "same-phase individuals."

Besides these, Lamp Sister, who is in the Nightmare, has another characteristic: after her main body is killed, as long as there are "same-phase individuals" she split, her origin will transfer, turning that "same-phase individual" into the main body.

This is a dead loop. To kill Lamp Sister, you must attack her, which will cause split bodies to appear. Attacking split bodies will cause more split bodies to appear. Attacking the split bodies of the split bodies will cause the split bodies of the split bodies to appear... an ultra-disgusting unlimited nesting doll.

Want to capture the thief by capturing the king first, only attacking Lamp Sister's main body and ignoring the split bodies? First of all, this will cause a particularly large number of split bodies to appear. The split bodies are easy to kill, but their attack intensity is not weak. Ignoring them will result in a particularly painful price.

Even if you keep attacking Lamp Sister's main body and kill her main body, as long as there are split bodies, Lamp Sister's origin will enter the split body and turn it into the main body.

All of this is limited to the Nightmare Castle Ward. Once out of this Nightmare, Lamp Sister does not have the "Pain Division" ability.

Su Xiao checked his sanity value. The current sanity value is 129/215 points. He needs to inject a sedative in 5 minutes and 50 seconds.

Lamp Sister is still guarding outside. Su Xiao has less than six minutes to create a method to deal with Lamp Sister. This seems impossible, but if the known information is sufficient, bold conjecture and practice are not completely without ways to deal with Lamp Sister.

Su Xiao took out items one by one and placed them on the desk. After pressing the timer, he started to work on the creation.

In the unknown Painted World.

Cotton-like ash floated in the sky. With less than an hour of light per day, this place was shrouded in a layer of haze.

This is where the Ancient City is located. The Ancient City also has a name: The Last Refuge. This is the place in the Painted World least affected by the disaster, but now, this last piece of paradise has also fallen.

A sun that looked like it had been dyed red by blood hung high in the sky. The edge of this sun was black. This black was deep and heavy.

The sun was almost dyed black, meaning the beast disaster in the Ancient City had reached an extremely severe degree. This place was not a paradise at all. The beast disaster that should have gradually descended was suppressed by the special environment here and suddenly erupted one day, causing the Ancient City to fall in a short time.

In the center of the Ancient City, the buildings here disappeared—no, they didn't disappear, but were filled in. Corpses of Beast-fied people were piled up, and after covering the buildings, they formed a giant corpse pile over a hundred meters high. Looking from a distance, it looked like a black mountain of accumulation, and its height even exceeded the city wall at the edge of the Ancient City.

Sitting on top of this horrifying corpse mountain was a figure wearing old armor: the old knight.

The lower part of the old knight's helmet was broken, revealing his beard, which had not been groomed for a long time and was somewhat matted. This messy beard was tied with a thin red rope. A long time ago, the old knight returned to the Ancient City, and a little girl in the Ancient City saw that the old knight's beard was messy and untrimmed, so she took off the red rope she used to tie her hair and helped the old knight tie his beard. And now, the knot was very loose, and the color of the red rope had dimmed with the passage of time. The sentence: "Knight Grandpa, you must come back," the old knight still remembers to this day.

"Doctor, I finally... lost to the beast."

The old knight stood up from the corpse mountain, his brownish-yellow pupils looking at the sky.

A drop of black liquid fell, as if it had dripped from the sun, or as if it had appeared out of thin air, and finally landed on the old knight's shoulder, seeping through the pitted old armor and into the old knight's blood.

Main Painted World, Castle Second Floor, Shelter Hall, Room No. 5.

This room was less than ten square meters, with a faint light coming from above. An old man, thin and haggard, wearing tattered clothes, sat on a stone platform. He was like a withered, dead tree. The golden crown on his head was dim and lusterless. The brilliance of the gold had been covered by stains and became restrained.

This is a Trace King, not powerful, but an existence crucial to this world.

Under the illumination of the faint light above, the castle Trace King opened his eyes. These were completely pitch-black eyes; apart from darkness, there was nothing else.

"Oh? You who dissected your own heart, have you finally understood the meaning of your existence, beast."

The castle Trace King stood up and walked forward. After pushing open the door, he went down the stairs, passed through the long corridor, and arrived at the reception hall on the first floor of the castle. The drawing board and easel stood in the corner. The Young Lady sitting on the high stool held the paintbrush with her thumb, index finger, and middle finger, ignoring the Trace King walking by.

The castle Trace King came to the wall with four paintings hanging on it and stopped in front of the third painting wrapped in chains. He slowly raised his hand and pressed it on the chains.

"Where do you want to escape to? That is where you should go:" The Young Lady pointed to the fourth painting with her paintbrush, and her cold voice continued: "Once, you were the only Trace King who chose to escape, the escaped Lushuman."

Hearing the Young Lady's words, Trace King Lushuman turned his head to look at the Young Lady. After discovering that the Young Lady was not yet the real Painter, he entered the third painting.

In the secret room deep in the Nightmare Castle Ward.

Su Xiao screwed the bottom cover of a lantern tight. After confirming many times that the array inside was fine and the energy conduction was stable, he took out a sedative. After injection, his sanity value recovered rapidly, filling up in 5 seconds. This made his mind much clearer, no longer as dizzy as before. The feeling of being eroded by madness is not good.

Su Xiao picked up the lantern and walked out of the secret room. He held the lantern in his right hand and grasped the door-opening mechanism lever with his left hand. He was going to face Lamp Sister head-on. ===== CHAPTER 3277 =====
