Chapter 146

Very good, next time I go out, I will definitely bring out ten thousand little brothers!

Su Hao grinned, lightly waved his right hand, and closed the skill details interface.

For Su Hao, as long as he has enough scarlet essence blood, he can continually obtain the medium for summoning skeleton warriors by cutting off his own arm.

The faster he chops his hand, the more skeleton warriors he summons; he has never worried about the summoning medium, and summoning ten thousand skeleton warriors is merely a matter of time.

However, outside the Hidden Veil, there exists Ling'er, a powerful unknown factor; even if he summons 100,000 skeleton warriors, it cannot change the situation.

So, after Su Hao pondered for a moment, he dismissed the idea of summoning skeleton warriors, planning to discuss it after returning to the shelter.

Even if Ling'er keeps following him, as long as he can return to the shelter, with Xue Nv holding the line, Su Hao doesn't need to worry too much.

However, the precondition for returning to the shelter is to first leave this pyramid.

"Um, that blue projection on the top floor needs to be dealt with before leaving here."

A cold light flashed in Su Hao's eyes; he is certainly not a saint who repays hatred with virtue.

Given the conditions allow, Su Hao usually repays grudges on the spot.

If the enemy is too strong, like that blood-sucking demon vine from before, Su Hao will choose to retreat temporarily, wait until he is strong enough, and then return to take revenge.

That blue projection back then forced Su Hao to participate in some trial, finally controlled the elevator, cut off his retreat, and forced him to fight the robots on the underground first level.

If it weren't for Su Hao's Item Appraisal Technique, knowing the function of the Authorization Token, he might have had to follow the blue projection's set plot, holding the Authorization Token, riding the elevator back to the pyramid's top floor.

Of course, a greater possibility is that as soon as he got on the elevator, Ling'er intercepted and stopped him, ultimately trapping him inside the elevator.

No matter what, both sides have formed a grudge; now that Su Hao is preparing to leave, how could he not seek vindication? Afterwards, Su Hao emerged from the Hidden Veil, looking at Ling'er crouched not far away, watching the panda eat bamboo, and asked: "Can you tell me about that blue projection?"

"Blue projection?"

Ling'er blinked slightly, glanced at the central control system not far away, and a hint of confusion flashed in her eyes.

The central control system is right there; if Father has any questions, why not just go ask him directly?

But soon after, she realized, could it be that……

Is the blue projection Father spoke of the one on the top floor? Is Father preparing to launch a counterattack against the Corrupt Church?

Thinking of this, a hint of anticipation appeared on Su Hao's face.

"Father, are you referring to the part of the control system on the experimental base's top floor that has been corrupted by the Corrupt Church?"

"Yes, this guy screwed me over once; I need to find a way to regain face."

"Indeed!"

"Father, indeed preparing to launch a counterattack against the Corrupt Church."

Ling'er's eyes lit up, looking at Su Hao with admiration.

The Corrupt Church is a massive religion with followers across many worlds; Father actually dares to take the initiative to launch a counterattack against such a colossal entity—this is truly awesome!

I've disliked that invader for a long time; now Father plans to take the initiative, I must find a way to contribute!

"Father, the invader who infiltrated the blue projection does not have his main body inside the 235 Experimental Base; therefore, aside from his mind‑controlling ability, he has no other abilities."

"His main body isn't here……"

After hearing Ling'er's words, Su Hao felt no relief; instead, his brows furrowed slightly. If the enemy's main body is far away yet can corrupt the blue projection and still exert its mind‑controlling ability,

then this invader's strength is not simple; at least a third‑ or fourth‑tier supernatural being could not do this.

The enemy's true strength is likely a fifth‑tier, or even sixth‑tier supernatural being! If, for the sake of regaining face, we draw the attention of such a supernatural being, it would not be worth the loss.

"If we destroy the blue projection, will that invader notice?"

"Theoretically, this is impossible; the T235 Experimental Base has strong shielding that can block any information sent from inside."

"Furthermore, after the world merger, the T235 Experimental Base has shifted greatly from its original position; perhaps in the invader's main body's perception, they don't even know this projection avatar still exists."

"So, Father, whatever you want to do to the invader's projection, it's fine; even if you kill it, his main body cannot detect it."

After Ling'er pondered for a while, she nodded heavily, speaking with certainty.

"Haah——!"

Su Hao exhaled; if the enemy's main body and the blue projection avatar cannot share senses, then there is nothing much to worry about.

Whether you are fifth‑tier or sixth‑tier, as long as you don't know what's happening here, even if I do something to that blue projection, you won't know.

However, to be safe, Su Hao continued asking: "Are there any noteworthy defensive measures on the top floor and first floor of the T235 Experimental Base?"

"Actually, there's nothing special to note; among the defensive measures controlled by the blue projection, only the two giant guard robots on the first floor, once activated, can exert top‑tier third‑tier combat power."

"Furthermore, inside the top floor there are two supernatural third‑tier laser cannons capable of firing lasers that can instantly kill a third‑tier supernatural being; emmm, those are the only things to watch out for."

Su Hao:??? What nonsense? Those giant guard robots—surely they mean the two machine statues on the first floor……

Recalling those two statues that had been stored in the Storage Bag, taken outside the pyramid, and buried underground, Su Hao let out a relieved breath.

If those two third‑tier machines had been awakened back then, probably all the tyrannical devil oxen would have met their end on that floor.

However, it seems the invader also didn't want to excessively drain Su Hao's strength, lest he fail the so‑called trial and be unable to obtain the Authorization Token in the underground second level.

That's why those statues were never activated to attack Su Hao.

If Su Hao had not undergone the trial, even if he could return to the first floor, he would still suffer attacks from those two statues.

"I'll go up to the second floor for a bit and meet that blue projection!"

Su Hao smiled slightly, stored all the surrounding equipment into his Storage Bag, then entered the elevator.

"Father, wait for me."

At that moment, Ling'er smiled sweetly, followed behind Su Hao, and entered the elevator.

Su Hao: ……

No, you won't really be sticking with me, will you? …

Although Su Hao had already guessed this outcome.

But seeing Ling'er follow him in like this, he still felt rather helpless,

However, he couldn't just kick her out; moreover, as things stood, Ling'er meant him no harm and might even serve as a decent temporary combatant, so after a moment of silence, Su Hao pressed the button for the second floor above ground.
