Chapter 441: Should We Weld the Mask Shut?

Whether it's killing people or killing Aberrant Species, at least it's extremely friendly to his eyes.

People always say the eyes are the windows of the soul, and the eyes are often the important basis for judging the surrounding environment.

If what you see before you is that "low-resolution" content, no matter how terrifying the sensations of hearing or smell may be, it's crooked from the start and hard to straighten out.

Yang Yixie dares to be so reckless in the game, and can't do without this quirky pixel-vision boost.

"Partner, what do we do now?"

The merging of the two worlds has clearly intensified in this short day, but regarding the link between the two worlds, they can't shake it now.

Xi Rensheng's body fell into official hands, and Hua Jian Lei and Lao Bao, who are also within the official jurisdiction, are probably no exception.

This isn't necessarily a bad thing; given the current situation, their entropy increase hasn't clashed with officials, and regarding their reputation for entropy increase in the Dome and among players, the officials won't do anything to them.

Rather, Hua Jian Lei herself is responsible for communicating with the outside world; her exposure isn't a big issue, and perhaps it can even help her obtain internal official decisions more effectively.

The Core of the two-world fusion is in Tianmian City, and he also needs someone to investigate the situation there.

"I'll try something first."

Yang Yixie said as he slightly tried to shift some of his internal energy.

When that yielded nothing, he tried to raise the Sync Value bit by bit, eventually reaching 23%, which unlocked the Teleport skill.

In the game world, the Rune circuit serves as the wiring, and the energy is equivalent to that world's power source.

So if we flip that idea a bit, even though this world lacks Rune circuits, can't his digitization just run directly along the wires?

Yang Yixie considers himself somewhat versed in computers, but because some matters, if the loose ends aren't cleaned up, people can easily trace him, so he chooses to cut them off at the root.

Anyway, he doesn't do anything illegal.

But if it's just Xi Rensheng asking him to decode something, as long as it doesn't involve his family, a proper price is fine.

He really is short on money.

In short, Yang Yixie truly began contemplating becoming an electronic ghost; after unlocking the Teleport skill in reality, he started trying to turn himself into a Data Stream and slip into the wires.

"Partner, how about it?"

Xi Rensheng leaned in curiously, and Yang Yixie sat at the computer desk; his hair appeared perfectly normal black, but his fingertips continuously fed a strange Ying Guang Lu Data Stream into the computer.

The Data Stream's entry into the computer was somewhat slow, but fairly smooth.

The computer screen showed only a few fluctuations at the very beginning, with sporadic Data Stream flickers at the edges, but they were quickly masked.

"It's a bit difficult."

Yang Yixie slowly opened his eyes, a flash of golden light passing through them, but the golden gleam vanished instantly.

"I don't know if it's because this body doesn't harmonize well enough with Aberrant Arts or for some other reason, but my body can't casually transform into a Data Stream form like in the game."

But that's not surprising; after all, in the game his body is essentially a Schrödinger's existence.

Yang Yixie doesn't even dare to be 100% sure that Ying Duo is still a pure human.

Although his goal of running along the wires to cause trouble worldwide can't be achieved, he still has other solutions.

People always need to prepare multiple plans for various possibilities.

Speaking of which......

Yang Yixie glanced at Xi Rensheng, especially at the mask he was holding.

Because Xi Rensheng was taken by the officials on his side, and he hasn't shown his face to the officials, his identity can still be hidden; after all, the bounty on the Dome lists this guy as also wearing a mask.

"How about you consider welding this mask onto your face?"

"Awake! They're all awake!"

When Hua Jian Lei slowly came to after a daze, noise was already erupting around his ears.

Perhaps for unified management, this place has been turned by the officials into a massive dormitory; he glanced aside and saw Lao Bao on a nearby bed, just having woken up.

It seems only the previous seven days had an incident; this time they finally returned to reality.

But they obviously missed many things in reality.

Looking at everything around, Hua Jian Lei's mind raced; before entering the game he should have been in a bar lounge, but now he seems to have been transferred here, and the people around clearly all look like fellow players......

It's truly one wave after another; they were still looking for ways to rescue teammates in the game, and trouble here rose again.

Without giving Hua Jian Lei more time to think, a hoarse roar sounded from beside him.

It was a man, his eyes turned bluish and bulged, both hands tightly clutching his own throat, as if subjected to some inhuman torment.

His body twisted and struggled on the cramped hospital bed, while no one nearby chose to help, merely drifting away silently.

Most of them knew what that meant, that the person was beyond saving.

At first people would fear and panic, but after staying long in that wasteland world, everyone became much calmer and numb to the scene before them.

The Mutation occurred quickly; from the man's first guttural scream out of his throat to his nails digging into his own neck flesh, it took only a few seconds.

Purplish-blue veins burst from the back of his hand, spreading along his forearm to the cuff, his skin turning from pallid to grayish-green, like a corpse that had been soaking in water for a long time.

It's unknown what Mutation Source the man's soul encountered before death, causing this Mutation.

But that's how Mutation invasion works; by the time you notice, it's already no longer human.

Lao Bao's position was clearly poor; the crowd had retreated right in front of him, and the thing that leapt off the bed lunged at him.

It was so fast that Lao Bao couldn't even stand up in time.

He kicked his foot on the floor, causing himself and the bed board to slide back half a meter, just evading the Aberrant Species' claw.

The Aberrant Species landed heavily on the spot where he had just sat, its claws embedding into the mattress, tearing the fabric and padding away.

Lao Bao didn't hesitate, kicking the bed board directly; the whole board flew off the metal frame with a "Bzz" thud, solidly slamming onto the thing.

The thing was flung away, its back bouncing off the opposite bed's metal frame, then sliding down to the floor.

These freshly mutated Aberrant Species aren't hard to deal with, but as time passes, the Mutation will invade everything around to make itself stronger.
