Slaying God: I, the insane and witty god

Chapter 578: Entering the House to Explore and Encountering a Strange Person

The metal door closed silently, cutting off An Yuqing's path behind him.

The lights came on one by one, as if a sleeping giant beast slowly opened its eyes, casting cold light into every corner of the corridor.

The smell of disinfectant lingers at the tip of the nose, stimulating the sense of smell and bringing a sense of inexplicable depression.

An Yuqing's footsteps echoed in the empty corridor, and every step seemed to be stepping on tense nerves.

He looked calm and walked with firm steps, as if he had anticipated everything he was about to face.

At the end of the corridor, there is another heavy metal door, and the electronic screen next to the door is flashing with a faint blue light.

An Yuqing walked to the door, and a line of words popped up on the screen: "Identity confirmed, Dr. An Yuqing, welcome to Laboratory 0."

Immediately afterwards, a low mechanical sound was heard, and the metal door slowly slid open to both sides, revealing a huge room.

Through the one-way glass of the room, An Yuqing saw a boy sitting in the middle of the room.

He concentrated on operating the game controller, and dazzling light effects flashed on the screen.

The boy has soft silver-white hair, delicate facial features like carefully carved works of art, and skin so white that it is almost transparent.

If he hadn't been concentrating on playing the game at the moment, An Yuqing would almost have thought he was a beautiful statue.

"This is... Yuzushiri Taki?"

Jiang Er'er, who was standing next to An Yuqing, couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"He doesn't look... like thirteen." Indeed, Yushiri Taki's height and appearance far exceed that of a thirteen-year-old child. He looks more like a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy.

"The Oracle injected him with a large amount of artificial hormones, accelerating his physical development."

An Yuqing explained calmly, "Although his biological age is only thirteen, his body age far exceeds that."

"From what I know, his current physical fitness may have reached the ceiling of human beings."

"The human ceiling?!"

Jiang Er'er widened her eyes and looked at Yubai Lilong in the room in disbelief, "This is too exaggerated!"

"In this world, nothing is impossible."

An Yuqing smiled faintly,

"Let's go in and have a look."

"But……"

Jiang Er'er hesitated, "Wouldn't it be too dangerous to go in directly? What if he..."

"Don't worry, I have a measure."

An Yuqing interrupted Jiang Er'er, his eyes revealing an unquestionable determination.

The metal door opened again and An Yuqing walked into the room.

The air in the room was fresh and slightly cool, completely different from the smell of disinfectant in the corridor.

In the center of the room, Yushiri Taki was still immersed in the world of the game and was completely unaware of An Yuqing's arrival.

An Yuqing walked to Yubai Lilong and sat on the ground.

"こんにちは." He greeted in fluent Japanese.

Yushiro Ritaki then raised his head and looked at An Yuqing.

He smiled slightly and responded politely: "こんにちは, Dr. An Yuqing. I know you have been watching me outside."

An Yuqing raised the corners of his mouth slightly, but failed to conceal a hint of shock.

He lowered his head and shook the sensor on his watch, his heart still beating slightly in his chest.

Where did he reveal his flaw just now?

Why does this child know of his existence?

"how?"

Yubai Litaki put down the controller, folded his hands on his knees, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

He said with a hint of sarcasm, "Are you scared because I said I 'saw you'?"

An Yuqing's heart skipped a beat, but she remained calm on the surface.

His eyes swept calmly towards Yuzuki Ritaki's eyes.

Those clear silver eyes seemed to contain an unfathomable vortex, so cold that his thoughts could not help but be frozen in an instant.

"How did you know?" An Yuqing asked, his voice as steady as ever, as if the surprise just now was just an illusion.

"Oh, this one?"

Yubai Litaki pointed to the side with a relaxed look on his face, as if he was describing a trivial matter.

"Because... it's a small map."

"Mini map?" This time, even the usually calm Jiang Er'er almost dropped the pen in her hand.

She saw this scene through the real-time projection on the other side of the laboratory and couldn't help but gasp.

"It's the little details that you, the laymen, often overlook."

He dragged out his tone, his eyes lightly passing over An Yuqing's face.

"In my field of vision, any movement and location within this room will be marked, just like the fog detection in e-sports games - of course, this is only part of the ability."

An Yuqing pondered for a moment, looked around, and scanned the lights, vents and even surveillance cameras in the room one by one, but still found nothing unusual.

He turned to look at Yuzushiri Taki, who leaned forward slightly, his lazy posture unable to conceal the sense of danger.

"I'm curious..."

Yubai Litaki suddenly changed the subject, and his tone was more meaningful.

"Why is your level so low? You dare to come in and investigate me at this level. You are very brave."

"The same level?" An Yuqing caught the word sharply, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

Yubai Lilong did not answer, but just tilted his head slightly and looked An Yuqing up and down with a calm look that was beyond his age.

The analysis, like examining a tool, is mixed with an uncomfortable curiosity.

"Doctor An Yuqing, waiting for Level 31, and assistant Jiang Er'er, waiting for Level 29. How did you resolve the problem with the Divine Messenger Oracle?"

Divine oracle?!

The moment An Yuqing heard the name, the hairs on his body stood up.

He continued to remain calm on the surface, but a subtle sense of uneasiness began to arise in his heart.

They used all means to circumvent the surveillance of the Oracle, but it was obvious that Yuzushiri Taki did not find it strange.

He even analyzed it in a casual tone, like someone who had mastered the complex situation.

Just by saying the three words "divine oracle", An Yuqing felt as if an invisible hand was grabbing his throat.

"How did you know that?" An Yuqing tried to keep her tone calm.

"How do you see it..." Yushiro Ritaki repeated, as if savoring the two words.

He suddenly revealed a playful smile with a youthful air.

"Isn't it obvious? After all, your level is like a numerical float in my eyes."

"The low-level opponents were forcibly sent away, leaving a 'window' for those waiting in the low-risk area to act. You exploited the gap perfectly. You're an interesting player."

"Is the waiter level one of your abilities?" An Yuqing asked in a low voice. As the words came out of his mouth, countless related clues vaguely emerged in his mind.

"One of them." Yushiro Ritaki nodded and admitted it straightforwardly, without any shyness, but with a look of relief as if to say "Why would I know this?"

He held his chin up and said with a smile,

"Actually, I don't understand the subtle thoughts of you adults at all. You try so hard to hide things, but your 'data' is so superficial that it can't block my vision at all."

An Yuqing suddenly realized that she seemed to be having a conversation with an existence that was completely different from "human logical thinking".

This calm, restrained, and all-knowing attitude was irrational beyond his age, making him instinctively wary.

"Then... what is your level?" An Yuqing asked tentatively.

Under the dim light, the corners of Yushiro Ritaki's mouth slowly rose.

He raised his eyebrows generously and unabashedly uttered a jaw-dropping number: "Lv97."

An Yuqing's mind suddenly went blank, followed by an almost deafening roar.

He subconsciously clenched his fists and felt cold sweat uncontrollably oozing out of his palms.

For a moment, even his breathing seemed to be a little disoriented.

Lv97...what does this number mean?

Among the countless known data he had studied in depth, the upper limit of human strength level in the God-Slaying World was "Lv99", which was almost close to the initial existence of the "Gods" themselves.

And Yushiro Ritaki, a thirteen-year-old child, is actually standing on that edge!

Outside the room, Jiang Er'er suddenly heard a hurried voice, which hit An Yuqing directly through the Bluetooth headset beside her ear: "Doctor, come out quickly! There's something wrong with him! There's something wrong with this child!"

Her voice was full of anxiety, and she was obviously frightened by Yuzushiri Taki's performance.

An Yuqing tilted his head slightly and was about to answer, but he noticed that Yu Shiri Taki's eyes, which seemed to be able to see through his soul, were staring straight at him.

The smile on his lips gradually deepened, as if he heard Jiang Er'er's murmur.

Yubai Litaki made a "hush" gesture with his index finger, and looked past An Yuqing.

It's like looking through the air into some mysterious invisible world.

"It's really... noisy." His voice was as clear as silver flakes tapping on glass in the air, mixed with an imperceptible dangerous chill.

Yushiri Taki's gaze instantly focused on the surveillance camera at the top, silently conveying some subtle message.

In his eyes, which were like finely crafted silver, a faint light suddenly flashed in the cross-shaped pupils, revealing a depth that transcends mortals.

At this time, Jiang Er'er's breathing became increasingly rapid on the other end of the headset, entangling An Yuqing's consciousness like an invisible hand lingering around her neck.

Suddenly, the brightly lit laboratory plunged into darkness, and the power supply system of the entire [Pure Land] was cut off as if by an invisible giant hand.

Except for the escape light in the corner outside the door, which was still flickering slightly, the entire building suddenly became silent.

In the room, only the huge TV screen was miraculously still powered.

A black and red light flickered on the screen, illuminating Yuzushiri Taki's expressionless profile.

This control core, as bright as a night pearl, seemed to foreshadow some kind of unstable change, injecting a cold and dangerous atmosphere into the shattered silence.

The text on the screen was jumping, "Critical system failure: overlay program activated."

Brilliant colors continuously appear as the screen changes, as if containing some kind of code and language, waving a thrilling call.

An Yuqing frowned, feeling the chill of sweat seeping down his spine.

It was as if everything in the world had been stripped away, leaving only the lonely space where Yuzushiri Taki and he shared.

The air around me seemed to have turned into countless razor-thin scales.

Hesitating between each other, waiting for the next move and the final response.

In that silent gaze, a statue-like smile appeared on Yushiro Ritaki's lips, a little cunning, as if he was performing an unfathomable drama.

He raised his right hand slightly, drew a rough "s" shape in the air, and pointed casually at the black and red screen, as if commenting on a silent tide of anger.

"Being involved in the battle without being a player feels like... exploiting a system loophole and forcing your way through a dungeon of the highest difficulty."

Yushiri Taki's voice roamed in the pitch-black darkness, with a certain childlike innocence and a sense of irony that broke the boundaries of convention.

An Yuqing swallowed his saliva. He could feel his heartbeat slowing down, but the alarm of safety factor was getting higher and higher.

He knew that on the one hand he was surrounded by this unpredictable and leisurely atmosphere,

On the other hand, his conscience and experience told him that what was hidden in the child's eyes was far more complex and unfathomable than what appeared on the surface.

"Fortunately, no one will miss any fun games."

Yuzushiri Taki's voice was like plucking the strings of a musical instrument, and the lingering sound surrounded the darkness.

His index finger suddenly turned down and tapped lightly on his knee.

It seems to be waiting for the end of a prologue and climax, while secretly imitating human reading habits.

Bind An Yuqing tightly into a bigger and more unknown mystery.

In an ambiguous atmosphere that seemed to be unique in its own way, An Yuqing and Yu Shiri Taki sat facing each other.

A silent force field circulated within it, as if two equally powerful gods were engaging in close combat within their respective domains.

And this was just a brief confrontation before the curtain opened.

They all understand that the darkness hides countless secrets and threats.

The truth behind all this still lurks at the bottom of the iceberg, and requires a more powerful revelation.
