Chapter 1898 - 1902: Gradually Unveiled
"Bu Bai?"
Lu Xiaobu shouted at the familiar silhouette.
"What the hell! Who’s there! Who’s there!"
The figure jolted suddenly upon hearing the voice, turning around abruptly like a startled wild cat, eyes filled with panic!
The heart of Bu Bai almost stopped from fright!
He was conducting experiments on these living dead guards, and if the people of the Heavenly Dynasty found out, he was done for!
However.
He then sensed something was off!
Bu Bai?!
The people of the Heavenly Dynasty definitely wouldn’t know this name!
Who was it?!
Only now did his rationality slightly return as he glanced at the person behind him.
"Holy crap! The Host!"
Upon seeing Lu Xiaobu’s face clearly, Bu Bai was almost about to crack his voice!
He never imagined running into Lu Xiaobu here!
So, instinctively, he thought this was a trap, sent by the Heavenly Dynasty to test him!
Immediately, Bu Bai’s expression changed drastically, and his right hand shot out.
Instantly, his right hand was engulfed by a ghostly green light, which shot directly towards Lu Xiaobu’s heart!
This was the fiercest virus that Bu Bai had concocted.
He wanted to quickly kill this bastard and then find a way to escape!
However.
"Snap!"
Lu Xiaobu swiftly caught Bu Bai’s hand, furrowing his brows: "Are you crazy?"
Yet, Bu Bai did not respond.
A sly glint flashed in his eyes as the ghostly green light detached from his hand and flew towards Lu Xiaobu’s heart!
This viral attack didn’t require direct contact; it could be released at a short distance.
He had always relied on physical contact precisely for moments like this!
As expected!
"Snap!"
The ghostly green light instantly surged into Lu Xiaobu’s heart.
"Got him!"
Bu Bai sneered repeatedly.
I, Bu Bai, may not match up to the Host, but dealing with someone like you is child’s play!
However!
To Bu Bai’s horror, the person he struck remained unharmed, still holding his hand, not even reducing the grip’s strength!
This plunged Bu Bai into a deathly fear!
I was wrong!
I was wrong, I shouldn’t have risked entering here to gain favor, even entering was a mistake, I should have left with the Host last time, for more praise, I chose to stay, even staying was fine, I could have stayed quietly and eventually helped the Host, but I couldn’t resist doing experiments, now I’m truly doomed!
"Bu Bai! What on earth are you doing?!"
Lu Xiaobu’s face suddenly tensed.
"Kill me! I won’t say a thing!"
Bu Bai strained his neck, a resolute expression of defiance!
"Kill yourself, I think you’ve lost your mind! Forget it, I’ll take you away now and let you and Xiaojia stay in the Heavenly Dynasty, you shouldn’t have been involved in this in the first place!" Lu Xiaobu’s voice turned cold.
However, his coolness was not directed at Bu Bai but at the Heavenly Dynasty.
With that, Lu Xiaobu was about to take Bu Bai away.
However.
"Wait, wait, wait!" Bu Bai suddenly trembled: "Xiaojia, Heavenly Dynasty, are you really the Host?!"
"Nonsense! Who else would I be?!"
Lu Xiaobu frowned: "Come on, we’re leaving immediately!"
"Wait! Just wait! Let me ask you one question! How many tasks did I assign to you?!" Bu Bai immediately asked.
"One. What’s up?" Lu Xiaobu also started to realize.
It seemed Bu Bai mistook him for an enemy!
"Oh! It really is you! Host! Hahaha!"
Bu Bai burst into laughter, his dying heart coming back to life, laughing so hard he struggled for breath: "Sorry! Sorry! I thought I’d been found out!"
"What’s going on here? Where are we? What are you doing? Why are you worried about being discovered? What was that green thing you used just now?!" Lu Xiaobu immediately fired off several questions.
"Oh! Right! Right! Are you okay!"
Bu Bai suddenly remembered he had used his fiercest virus!
"I’m fine, that thing disappeared after entering my body!" Lu Xiaobu shook his head.
"It seems, your awareness here is different from ours! Indeed, these viruses of mine seem to trigger some kind of restrictions existing in these living dead, rather than actually killing them through the virus!" Bu Bai seemed to be explaining, or perhaps muttering to himself!
"What exactly is going on?!"
Lu Xiaobu was starting to lose his patience!
"Oh, oh, oh! Host, come with me! Come out with me, and you’ll understand everything!"
Bu Bai had absolute trust in Lu Xiaobu’s mind.
So he knew he didn’t need to say much, just let the incredibly clever Host look outside, and he would know everything!
Subsequently, Bu Bai opened the iron bars and led Lu Xiaobu outside.
In an instant, Lu Xiaobu’s pupils shrank violently!
What was outside?!
A prison!
Cells identical to the one they were just in!
There’s nothing strange about cells, what’s truly strange is the number of them!
Boundless, endless!
Everywhere one looked, there were cells, crammed wall to wall!
If someone with trypophobia came here, they’d probably pass out on the spot!
"What the hell is this place?!"
Lu Xiaobu squinted his eyes.
"Cells, or dormitories, each room here is filled with guards!"
Bu Bai answered: "But these guards are in some sort of living dead state!"
"At first, I thought they chose this willingly, as a habit, but later I realized, they seem to be in some standby mode, completely unresponsive to the outside world!"
"So then, you started experimenting on them?" Lu Xiaobu quickly pieced together Bu Bai’s initial reaction and the ghostly green light as the answer.
"Exactly, as expected from the smartest Host!" Bu Bai laughed cheekily: "I based this evolution off the virus given to me by Lin Feng!"
"These living dead guards are different from me, their bodies seem to have many restrictions, and these viruses can trigger these restrictions, putting them into a living dead state, erasing their spiritual wisdom, or even killing them directly!" Bu Bai elaborated.
This was his domain, his pride in front of the Host.
"Interesting." Lu Xiaobu squinted his eyes: "Besides killing a few, have you done anything extra?"
Lu Xiaobu thought of the weakening of the core controls, evidently there was some kind of connection between the two!
