Chapter 946: A Fractured World! A News Program?!

…

——

"Sir, we have arrived."

"Thanks for your trouble."

"You're being polite; this is what I ought to do."

Su Yang got off the car and surveyed the surroundings.

He saw skyscrapers densely packed, like mountains soaring straight into the clouds.

The pitch‑black façades seemed to contain some strange element, making anyone who glanced at them feel dazed.

Inside, most buildings were brightly lit, indicating the high occupancy of the complex.

Below, a lush garden spread out.

Pavilions, towers, corridors, bridges, and water pavilions were all present.

Even in the grass patches, small animals ran and played.

The upper floors were as quiet as water, while below teemed with life.

Together they wove an extremely strong sense of division.

It was as if a black wall split two worlds apart.

Su Yang lowered his gaze to the Hand Ring and found it was exactly 8 p. m.

At a time when nightlife should be beginning, no one could be seen in the complex.

"Sir, your residence location Supervisor has already transmitted it to you via the Hand Ring."

"Is there anything else I can assist with?"

The driver was an elderly man in a suit.

His temples were speckled with white, and his crown was slightly bald.

His face was covered with the marks of time.

His posture seemed a dwarf's height, yet his brows exuded neither servility nor arrogance.

His perfectly measured demeanor constantly conveyed a single message—

He is very professional!

"There's nothing for now; if I need anything I'll contact you," Su Yang said.

"Feel free to give orders; I'm on standby 24 hours a day," the driver replied.

After speaking, he took the driver's seat and drove away the oddly shaped vehicle.

Su Yang watched him leave, his eyes flickering.

A moment later, touching the Hand Ring, a Projection instantly appeared.

"B2 building, 45th floor, Room 4505…"

Su Yang noted the numbers and casually deleted the information.

He then surveyed the surroundings, confirmed no tail was following, and headed toward B2.

The complex is named "Tenglong Corporation".

It is a gathering place for the majority of the middle class in White Bear City.

Located on the south side of the city center, the location is fairly good.

The developer apparently valued the nearby amenities and spent a fortune to purchase the land.

It is said that Imperial Company once intended to compete, but for unknown reasons gave up.

As the Company's Black Glove, assigning him to such a place is quite fitting.

Soon, Su Yang took the elevator to the 45th floor and, following the elevator's directions, found his apartment.

4505!

He stood before the door and, per the Supervisor's instructions, pressed his thumb against the Door Handle.

"Dii—"

Verification passed!

Immediately, a matrix‑scan beam enveloped his whole body.

It finally fixed on his eyes.

"Iris correct, welcome home!"

Accompanied by a soft chime, Su Yang pushed the door open and entered.

Upon entering, he immediately smelled a fragrance that soothed the heart and lungs.

It resembled a floral perfume—rich yet not pungent.

Su Yang took off his leather shoes and slipped into soft, comfortable slippers.

Stepping out of the foyer, he saw a spacious living room.

A five‑meter‑long sofa sat there, and a round carpet covered the floor.

A long table stood before the sofa, its surface transparent, with multicolored fish swimming inside.

Shifting his gaze, he saw the walls covered with densely packed art paintings.

The complexity was dazzling.

It lacked any sense of beauty.

Su Yang continued inward; the dining area's layout was strikingly similar to the villa's restaurant outside the game.

There were four rooms in total: one master bedroom, two guest bedrooms, and a study.

The overall decor was minimalist and grand, dominated by a cool gray palette.

"So it's a large slab floor; Imperial Company really has a massive hand," Su Yang couldn't help but praise.

I originally thought the Gene Modification warrior's treatment wouldn't be very good.

After all, I'm just a Tool Person.

But I never imagined he could enjoy such good treatment in the final Death Game of the Third Stage.

Su Yang lay on a sofa of just the right softness, casually sliding his hand across the transparent table.

Squeak—

The artwork on the wall all embedded into the wall and disappeared.

A hundred‑inch screen appeared.

A Projection descended from the ceiling above the back of the head.

With a soft sound, a TV program suddenly appeared.

"White Bear is a fierce Meat‑eating animal…"

Su Yang instantly became interested upon seeing that.

He hurriedly sat up straight.

"TV program?!"

He rubbed his eyes in disbelief.

After fixing his gaze for two looks to confirm it was correct, his heart jolted.

It was actually TV?!

How long has it been since he last watched digital TV?

He had spent a full nine months in the 'Primitive' stage.

Now, seeing the Projection of a White Bear hunting sea fish, Su Yang was so moved he almost shed Tears.

The once‑snorted-at "Animal World" now held his undivided, eager attention.

In this moment, it was as if the clouds cleared to reveal the bright moon, and life reignited hope.

He never imagined that something unattainable outside could be enjoyed within the perilous Death Game.

After watching for a full hour, when an ad popped up, Su Yang instinctively changed the channel.

Perhaps it's a memory etched in his bones, indelible.

After switching a few channels, Su Yang found none had any appeal.

It wasn't a boastful, sky‑high, all‑cure Divine Medicine pitch.

It was just a group meditating inside the TV.

And a group of Divine people gathered around, cheering inexplicably at ants moving homes.

Suddenly, there was a déjà vu that "Animals" are the most normal.

"What kind of world is this?" Su Yang laughed dumbly.

From what he'd encountered, the technology level must be many years ahead of Blue Star.

Even a single Gene Modification warrior is enough to spot the clue.

There were also oddly shaped vehicles driven by drivers.

Without a single wheel, yet it could travel off the ground.

At the same time, each glance behind vaguely gave a sense of a world‑splitting rupture.

It was very strange.

The next moment, Su Yang switched to the news channel.

The news anchor solemnly narrated a strange story—

"Last night at 9:30, in Lower City District, a solitary elderly scavenger died unexpectedly."

"Professional assessment suggests the cause of death was likely a bite by an unknown Fierce Beast, with severe Neck Artery damage."

"The Enforcer, after canvassing nearby residents, found that the victim had uttered pleas for mercy and screams at the moment of death."

"Someone saw the assailant standing three meters tall, hunched."

"Experts advise Lower City District residents to minimize unnecessary outings at night."

Sight this, Su Yang couldn't help but let out a light 'yi'.

"A three‑meter murderer?"

"Could this be a human?"

Fierce Beast bite…

Neck Artery…

"Plea for mercy?"

That indicates the homicide wasn't completed in an instant.

If it truly was a Fierce Beast, why would the old man perform Useless work?

Conversely, if that self‑proclaimed eyewitness didn't Lie,

then the assailant and the old man must have known each other.

Most likely it was a crime by an acquaintance.

"That's not right; in White Bear City, with such advanced technology, there are no roadside cameras?" Su Yang Brow furrowed.

This clearly defies logic.

And what does the news anchor mean by Lower City District?

Su Yang couldn't help recalling the Supervisor's reminder—

"Beware other Company's Gene Modification warriors."

Thinking of this, Su Yang felt a stir in his heart.

"Could it be..."
