Chapter 223 The Mountain and Her

Hui Yuanchu reached out and patted Snake on the shoulder, then - withdrew his hand, turned around and prepared to leave.

But the snake was still frozen in place.

The moment Hui Yuan reached out to pat him, his body even trembled uncontrollably.

When Hui Yuan turned around, Snake actually staggered back two steps.

Then, he suddenly shouted hoarsely: "Wait a minute! Tell me clearly who you are!"

Huiyuan stopped at first, turned around, and looked at the snake with the dull eyes of the marble head sculpture.

He guessed what the snake was afraid of, because Arthur had pointed it out to him.

Perhaps concepts such as "character", "thoughts" and "will" are not applicable to Atalabadu, a master born from primitive flesh and blood.

But Hui Yuanchu's current "character", "thoughts" and "will" are indeed a bit like the projection of Yadabadu.

Like the birth, operation and laws of Atalabadu, the shadows cast in this real world.

This is also a "way of existence" of Atalabadu.

Hui Yuan glanced at a certain sentence in the system interface:
【The world is Sophia's footprint...】

[In other words, the world took shape due to the confrontation with Sophia. 】

[Look, Sofia, I can do it too! 】

[Light is existence, and the shadow etched by light is not a kind of existence? 】

Although Hui Yuan initially knew that there was nothing wrong with him, this did not prevent him from taking advantage of the other party's fear now.

Well, let’s look for a statement that is more in line with the temperament of the being deep inside, shall we?Hui Yuan initially explored the group of cicadas, and then quickly got the idea.

"My child, it's not okay for you to be like this. You're not like me at all." Hui Yuanchu spat out the words without thinking.

"For example, you followers, you don't love them." He looked around, and finally looked at the snake again, "Your scales are beautiful but cold, like light...like, light, this is not okay."

Then, without hesitation, he turned away again.

The snake's face showed uncontrollable shock and panic.

After that, just before Hui Yuan took two steps, Snake quickly came back to his senses. Although the panic on his face still remained, he seemed to have quickly anticipated something.

Suddenly showing a ferocious expression, Snake reached out and pulled the hotel waiter who was passing by, strangled her neck with his upper arm, and held her tightly against his body as if holding a shield.

Then, he let out a few forced laughs that seemed to make him feel slightly relieved.

After laughing, he continued to stare at Hui Yuanchu's back and shouted in a hoarse voice: "I was almost scared by you..."

"But words have no direct power... So, you want to disturb my mood and make other plans?"

"Then let's give it a try! See if you have the determination to kill me!"

"Because no matter how you plan to kill me, I will drag innocent people... to die together!"

Hui Yuanchu stopped and stood there in silence for a moment. He did not look back, but made a helpless gesture of shaking his head and waving his hands.

The snake suddenly felt something and turned to look behind him.

One meter behind him, a small pencil-thick light beam suddenly appeared on the floor, and instantly connected to the ceiling.

The next moment, a thick pillar of fire suddenly ignited from the position of the small pillar of light. The roar of the flames was like the roar of a large engine, instantly covering the entire hall, causing everyone to instinctively cover their ears.

Immediately, the pillar of fire disappeared together with the loud noise.

Where the pillar of fire appeared just now, there were only two smooth circular holes left on the floor and ceiling, and the luxurious chandelier on the ceiling was half swallowed by the pillar of fire, and the edges were scorched black.

The crowd behind them screamed and started to commotion.

At the same time, two more small pillars of light rose from the left and right sides of the snake, and then two more destructive pillars of fire followed closely.

After the three pillars of fire passed, three large black pits appeared in the surrounding area, forming the shape of three vertices of a triangle, surrounding the snake.

But the snake stood in the middle, still holding the waiter hostage, but was unharmed.

Then, he looked at Hui Yuanchu and slowly laughed: "Haha...hahaha..."

The laughter grew louder and louder, and the snake laughed for a while before stopping.

No longer frightened, he spoke again with a smooth tone that was under control: "Is this pillar of fire the attack of the fire thallium hero?

"Because he was too conspicuous, you didn't let him sneak in directly, but let him hide in the underground garage.

"Then, you will get close to me, and finally use some method to guide Huo Thallium so that he can directly attack my position in an invisible way across the floor... This is your plan, right?"

After a pause, he mocked: "It's a pity that you don't dare. You still don't dare."

The snake had a ferocious face, and the arm that strangled the waiter's neck shook it hard again, making the young waitress who was speechless almost unable to breathe, and her face was ashen.

"Just because of this ordinary person...you don't dare to let Huo Thallium kill me."

He stretched out his other hand to cover his face and laughed wildly: "Hahaha..."

"You are indeed just an ordinary mortal...you are not him." Finally, the snake let out a hissing chuckle from the hand covering its face.

Hui Yuanchu stood there, silent.

Most of what Snake said was correct. Hero Huo Thallium was in the underground garage, launching long-range attacks according to Hui Yuanyuan's guidance.

But, in fact, his guidance...from the beginning, the purpose was to make the fire thallium hero "unable to hit" the target.

Only by "missing" can Arthur's plan advance to the next step.

Hui Yuanchu patiently waited for "that thing" to happen.

...Suddenly, the tentacles caught a trace of strange disturbance in the air flow.

--"boom".

With a dull gunshot in the distance, Hui Yuan's head sculpture of the Greek philosopher instantly shattered.

Hui Yuan's headless body raised its arms as if to welcome something.

Then, "bang - bang - bang", the dull gunshots came rhythmically from several different directions, like a relay.And terrifying big holes appeared one after another all over Hui Yuanchu's body.

...is a sniper.

After one round, Hui Yuanchu, who had lost [-]% of his body but was still standing there, instantly calculated the positions and directions of several snipers.

At the same time, he also estimated the time he could be active.He had read information about the sniper rifle that was specially designed for the group. Although it was powerful, it would take a little longer to reload.

Even if the opposing commander adopts a strategy of four groups of snipers taking turns shooting, the time interval between two rounds is long enough... for him to complete regeneration.

But at this moment, the door of the banquet hall collapsed, and a group of soldiers rushed in.

What rang out this time was the continuous gunshots of light machine guns and automatic rifles.

Hui Yuan's body was no longer human-shaped, with just a few hollows supported by the only remaining human tissue around it.At this time, it was hit by bullets like a rain, and the structure was completely destroyed immediately, breaking into several parts and folding over.

Under the order of the commander of the on-site operation, the firepower slowed down but did not stop.

Immediately afterwards, the soldiers with flamethrowers on their backs divided into several groups and approached Huiyuan's corpse from the gap between the lines of fire.

Just a few meters before they approached the pieces of flesh and blood on the original gray ground, the firepower behind them stopped in unison.

The flamethrowers in the soldiers' hands connected seamlessly, aiming at the corpses and spraying flames.

At the same time, the second batch of flamethrowers patiently mopped the ground, spraying fire indiscriminately on the ground from the periphery toward the center of the corpse.

Under the heat of thousands of degrees, the blood and minced meat that was spattered far away were quickly destroyed. The cells completely lost their activity and were carbonized into ashes.

On the throne at the center of the cross, Hui Yuan's consciousness "watched" the scattered flesh and blood marks on himself in the distance being obliterated piece by piece, but there was nothing he could do.He is now trying his best to maintain regeneration, and can only ensure that the larger corpses remain active under the flames.

But if he doesn't take any action, then when the flamethrowers who clean up the surrounding area complete their mission and come to support, all his flesh and blood marks here will also be cleared away.

But until this moment, he still didn't feel "that thing" start up, which meant that his mission was still not completed.

...but if he has any cards left in his hand that can force the opponent's ultimate move...

There is no other way... Hui Yuanchu looked at the power in the system interface.

[Creator·The First King of Powers·Adabaduo]

Since Huiyuan first obtained this ability, he has never activated the form of Atalabaduo, even though this road is not a dead end for him now.

Because he always had a vague premonition that this was what the system wanted him to do, and this was the original purpose of the system possessing him.

But... is the system good or bad?Is this thing brought about by the system good or bad for him?
Hui Yuan had no way of knowing at first.That's why he kept hesitating.

On the throne in the center of the cross, in this place where external time is meaningless, Hui Yuanchu looked at the sparkle called "the world" from a distance, and fell into a trance for a moment.

Suddenly, the mission text appeared before my eyes.

【Special Mission: Justice (2/3)】

[The Flame Knight has been resurrected, and the White Horse Knight has taken over. 】

[King, what are you hesitating about? 】

[Set up waves of flesh and blood, kill the snake, and give the betrayer the punishment he deserves. 】

[I beg you here. 】

Hui Yuan stared at the last line of words and was suddenly touched.

Suddenly, he remembered his last conversation with Arthur again.

——"What is Huiyuan's reason for helping Huo Thallium?"

——"In response to the wish of the fire thallium hero..."

Suddenly leaning forward, Arthur seemed to want to see him more clearly: "...That's it. That's the problem."

Arthur has always been a very measured person, so he just said this and remained silent, only letting Hui Yuanchu examine his heart on his own.

But Hui Yuanchu actually knew what he wanted to say.

Because the "Arthur" that Hui Yuan had reconstructed in his mind using the cicada swarm had all been explained clearly to him. "Since I met Huiyuan, Haiyuan has been like this in every incident. Haiyuan's reason is never his own wish, but just to respond to the expectations of others."

"...When did you become like this? Although I haven't seen you before with my own eyes, you were indeed not like this before the data."

"Arthur" asked him softly: "And, are these really what you want?"

"I want protection and oaths, and the fire thallium hero wants justice and destruction. What about Haiyuan?"

"Haiyuan has no desire of his own. He will only be inspired by other people's emotions and act in response to other people's requests for help?"

"There can be no such person. I have never seen such a person."

"Thinking only about others, as if you don't exist. Without inner motivation, you are not like a person, but just like a mirror."

"That's not the way a 'human' thinks...

"——This is Yadabadu. The crawling Lord of Chaos Flesh, who only reacts to light." The virtual "Arthur" finally slowed down his speech and said to him word by word, "You are affected. .”

……no.

But Hui Yuanchu knew in his heart that this was not the case.

He kept thinking about the past.

Not the "original gray", but his real soul, in the past of the previous world.

It was a life that was dull, boring, ordinary, and died in a hurry... Just like the unconscious Adabado who was covered at the bottom of the lifeless sea of ​​chaos before meeting Sophia.

He has never loved anyone...but he has been loved by a few people.

But he just dodged carefully, refusing more love in a cold and distant way.

Because he only realizes that he has no ability to respond or repay.

So, he has been lonely.

...But he has this ability now.

Therefore, this is not the influence of Aldabado, but his own desire.

Respond with kindness.

Respond to hope.

Respond to devotion.

Respond to possession.

Respond to...love.

Atlabado was just a poor man who longed for love.

And he, too.

Hui Yuanchu finished thinking.

The conclusion is clear.

If this is what the system expects, then it's even better for him to accept it, right?

Respond to the system, respond to Arthur, respond to Huo Thallium, respond to...

Hui Yuanchu cast his spiritual vision into the Star Beam Net. Only the last few cells of the remaining flesh and blood remained active and activated their power.

【Adabado】

-

The soldiers' final encirclement, flamethrower guns, the last target.

It was once a twenty centimeter square piece of flesh and blood, but it had been dehydrated and shrunk by the flames to the size of a palm, and looked like a piece of charcoal.

Before long, it will be completely carbonized, cracked, and turn into ashes that can be easily crushed...

But at this moment, it suddenly cracked.

From the crack, fresh flesh and blood surged out like a sea.

The soldiers screamed in horror, and the fuel that was ignited by the flames continued to spray, but it could no longer wear away the flesh and blood, but it was on the surface of the flesh and blood that surged like a sea, rising and falling with the waves.

The sea of ​​flesh and blood rose rapidly, soon submerging the entire floor of the hall, rising to the waists of the soldiers, swallowing and trapping them one by one like a stomach bag.

Flesh and blood also entangled the snake, which abandoned the waitress and began to stumble away.The countless tentacles that formed easily caught up with him, bound his hands and feet, strangled his neck, and stuffed them into his mouth and nose...

Only the waitress was treated with tenderness of flesh and blood.In her panicked and hoarse shouts of "Help me! Anyone is fine, please save me!", neurotonin was injected into her body, causing her to sleep peacefully inside the flesh and blood...

……

Hui Yuan, who was sitting on the throne, was not too concerned about what happened externally.

Flesh will take care of everything.

He just... raised his head and stared at everything in front of him.

The moment he chose to activate [Aldabado], he seemed to be transferred to another place in an instant.

The sense of the lower realm has not been interrupted, and the throne is still under the seat, but... in the distance is no longer the fire net of stars, but in the darkness, the vague outline of some kind of behemoth.

...Looking at the dark but familiar outline, Hui Yuanchu's soul suddenly trembled.

He remembered, wasn't this the place where he was brought by that mysterious hand after every death?
That - the cinema of death! !
Hui Yuanchu's breathing became intense unconsciously.

He touched the familiar throne under him again, and an idea came to his mind uncontrollably.

...This place is actually deep in his heart?
Just like the tower that corresponds to the depth of Tamaki Yumiko's soul, the closed room of Yukinoshita Saya, and the barren plain of Ijuin Ayano... is the Cinema of Death actually the deepest part of his soul?

Every time before, that hand was actually pulling him and the other person to this place deep in his heart? ?
Hui Yuanchu immediately thought of another important thing.

From the experiences of Yumiko Natamaki and others, we can know that in all such places, what they have in common is that there will be "a certain existence"...or at least traces of its existence.

At the end of the cage of the human spirit, what is imprisoned is naturally the imprisoned person - the "true spirit" who appears in the form of a crystal flower.

...but what about him?

He, a stranger who has no true spirit at all, what is deep in his soul?
What is that huge silhouette...

Hui Yuan raised his head and stared at the huge silhouette in the darkness with all his strength.

The curtain of darkness seemed to be really drawn open and slowly fading away.

And the details underneath that huge outline finally appeared clearly in front of Hui Yuanchu.

...that is a "mountain".

The foundation stone and foot of the hill are undoubtedly the flesh and blood he is most familiar with.

However, what gradually piled up from the foot of the mountain began to turn into various human creations.

Steam, electricity, hydraulics, mechanical structures, control circuits, reactors... It seems that all the technologies of mankind so far have been piled on top of each other, and finally created this majestic hill.

Hui Yuan had no time to think about why there was such a strange foreign object deep in his heart.

He just stared at the center of the hill.

He can see clearly.

In this magical space, he could see clearly.

Although the huge thing in front of him was a mountain, he could clearly see the tiny human being buried in the heart of the entire mountain.

It was a girl whose entire body was covered with pipes, and most of her face was covered by strange eyepieces, making it impossible to see her entire face.

The core of the mountain is this girl.

Because the countless pipes on the entire mountain that are of incalculable length and are thick enough to run trains, after passing through countless adapters and amplifiers, their final origins will always be traced back to where they were buried. A slender tube inside the girl's body.

So it can also be said that this mountain is just another body of the girl.

And Hui Yuan's eyes finally locked on the girl's right arm...

He was sure that it was this arm that had pulled him back from the brink of death countless times.

After a moment of confusion, Hui Yuanchu suddenly had an idea - he opened his system interface.

...no response.

Even if he loses his head, even if the system interface can be opened without any hindrance at the center of the cross, there is no response here.

Hui Yuanchu could hardly breathe and slowly raised his head.

There are naturally many "screens" on that man-made hill.

There are LCD screens, CRT picture tubes, projections, and simple digital segments composed of electron tubes...

Hui Yuanchu clearly saw that the system interface that should be opened by him was being projected on the countless screens.

This is what the "system" really is.The system is "her".

Hui Yuanchu continued to look at the changes on the countless screens from a distance, groping for the system that could no longer be operated directly, and opened the "Prayer System".
Then he asked the question: "What's your name?"

——For a moment, Hui Yuan thought that he had an illusion. He seemed to see... the head of the girl who was buried in the mountain as if she was sleeping and didn't even seem to be breathing seemed to raise her head.

But all the screens were stuck at that moment.

Afterwards, the system screen disappears.Instead, countless broken characters flashed on the screen for a moment like a waterfall, and then disappeared.

In the blink of an eye, all the screens returned to the normal display of the system, as if the system rolled back instantly, and no crashes ever occurred.

Hui Yuan took a deep breath and began to try to rearrange the characters he caught in that glance.

Countless characters, but actually only six letters, can be combined into a name.

——"Sofia".
