Chapter 207: Chapter 207: Killing Oneself (Please Subscribe, Bookmark, and Vote for Monthly Ticket)

While picking at the crystal ball, He Ao unexpectedly discovered that the Tomb Guardian’s palms were much whiter than his own skin. Following the palm down to the wrist, he felt a seam, as if the Tomb Guardian was wearing some kind of gloves.

He pulled off the gloves from the body and then felt the other hand, which also had a glove on it.

He Ao took off both gloves and laid them in front of him. They had some bloodstains, but it wasn’t a problem.

The gloves were thin as cicada wings, and touching them felt almost exactly like real skin. He Ao turned on the flashlight and examined them closely. The gloves had complete skin textures, and the palms had detailed fingerprints.

After some contemplation, He Ao set the gloves aside and turned his attention back to the crystal ball emanating a deep purple mist inside.

The moment he touched the crystal ball, a stream of information flooded his mind.

The ability of the crystal ball was simple.

It could manipulate the corpses of other life forms as puppets or convert living beings into puppets. Puppets made from living people were somewhat more spirited than those made from corpses, but they required time. Just now, the Tomb Guardian had attempted to transform He Ao into a living puppet.

Of course, there were limits to the number and quality of puppets—the crystal ball could control up to five D-level puppets or one C-level puppet at most.

As the price for using this crystal ball, every three days, it required a fresh soul to feed on, or it would attempt to devour the operator.

Yet another Transcendent item that demands lives.

He Ao stuffed the crystal ball into his cloth bag and took a rest. He then took down another cloth bag from behind and unfolded it.

Inside was a piece of flesh surging with transcendent power.

He had originally cut two pieces of flesh from the C-level Great Octopus he had killed. One piece was chopped into small chunks to lure the Great Octopus, the other he kept intact and had not unwrapped until now. With no threat from the Great Octopus, he finally had time to consume this piece of flesh.

He unfolded another cloth bag to reveal the already cracked charcoal inside.

He had taken the time to make this charcoal the night before, telling "Liu Nan" that it was to make starting a fire easier in places without wood.

The method for making charcoal was also simple. He would stack the prepared logs together into a small mound, then cover the surrounding area with dry grass or leaves, and seal it with mud to form a miniature mountain-shaped kiln.

Leaving a hole at the top of the kiln and opening several vents at the bottom, he would light the fire with dry grass through the top hole. Once all the wood inside the kiln had burned to a certain extent, he would seal the vents and the top hole, allowing the wood to dry distill under the residual heat. After an appropriate time, he would open the kiln to retrieve a batch of charcoal.

Making charcoal was extremely time-consuming, which was one of the reasons He Ao had delayed for an entire night.

But now, it seemed the effort was worth it.

Without this charcoal, he might have had to eat the flesh raw.

He Ao tore off some of the Tomb Guardian’s clothes, lit the charcoal, and began to skewer and roast the meat with the bone sword.

This charcoal wasn’t as solid as the meat and had shattered into pieces during the battle, so He Ao had to carefully control the heat.

The presence outside the door seemed to realize what He Ao was doing and started bashing the door wildly.

However, its movements couldn’t shake the metal door in the slightest.

He Ao finished roasting the meat and, enduring the pain, quickly consumed the piece of flesh.

Streams of energy flowed through his body and converged in his Dantian, where He Ao pressed down fiercely, forming a strand of new "Qi."

The power from the flesh was not insignificant. After forming a strand of Qi, there was still much left, stored in his Dantian.

He Ao continued to roast and eat the meat until he could eat no more. Then, with difficulty, he stood up and began to move his body. By now, he had two strands of Qi within him.

He Ao guided the two strands of Qi through his entire body. With the enhancement of "Qi," his recovery gradually accelerated. Although it wasn’t to the extent of visible regeneration, it was already much better than before.

"Qi," indeed, proved to be very useful.

He walked slowly back to the platform behind the door and looked at the content on the monitor.

This level-two interface had been opened by the "Tomb Guardian" just earlier.

The content displayed in the monitor inside the Central Control Room seemed different from the outside, and He Ao didn’t remember seeing a similar interface on the outside.

During the life-and-death moment earlier, he had no choice but to kill the Tomb Guardian. Now that he had regained some strength and was temporarily in a safe environment, he had time to investigate the Tomb Guardian’s purpose and, by the way, the thing that attracted him here.

He glanced at the screen, memorized the interface, then exited it. He clicked on the settings and switched the language to that of zone two.

But when he opened that page again, he was momentarily taken aback.

The page clearly indicated [Restroom Door Switch].

Since when did restroom doors need to be this advanced?

He Ao clicked to enter.

Soon, a popup appeared: [Please verify administrator identity].

······

Do I need an administrator to open a bathroom door?

He Ao realized this matter might not be so simple; he carefully observed the prompt under the popup, the white eye, and palm symbols.

Iris and palm print recognition?

After pondering for a moment, He Ao walked back to the Tomb Guardian’s side, picked up the pair of gloves as thin as cicada wings, put them on his hands, and pressed them onto the display.

The white palm symbol turned green, but the eye symbol turned red.

He Ao returned once again to the Tomb Guardian’s corpse, crouched down, and pried the Tomb Guardian’s eyes open; then he gently reached out and removed a pair of contact lenses from the Tomb Guardian’s eyes.

The contact lenses were peculiar, looking like a person’s pupil from the front and transparent from the back.

With no particular taboos, He Ao, after ensuring they were not poisoned or had any hidden settings, put on the contact lenses.

This time, when he pressed his hand onto the monitor, both symbols turned green, and immediately a new popup appeared.

[Please verify administrator chip.]

······

He Ao went back to the Tomb Guardian’s body, this time activating Super Memory to search through the Tomb Guardian’s entire person, and then found a black square metal rod from a layer inside his clothes.

He brought this metal rod to the display, and the popup on it slowly disappeared, followed by a change in the interface.

[Welcome, Commander.]

Commander···

Gloves, contact lenses, chip rod—it seemed Daybreak had not skimped on homework, having perhaps prepared for many years for this occasion.

After all the verifications were complete, He Ao did not choose to immediately open the bathroom door but entered the security settings interface first.

The security settings required his administrator identity to be verified again; after repeating the process, several options appeared before him.

Included among these were changing the password, authenticating a new chip, and granting ordinary administrator permissions.

However, He Ao’s gaze was drawn to the last option, [Change Commander Authentication Method].

Clicking in, there was chip authentication, which was active, password authentication, biometric authentication, and at the bottom, soul authentication—all of which were inactive.

He Ao clicked on soul authentication.

Immediately, a new popup emerged,

[Due to system limitations, soul authentication can only save the identity information of a single individual and is not suitable for situations with multiple commanders coexisting. Do you wish to continue?]

Continue.

He Ao took off the gloves, placed his hand on the screen, and then, according to the screen’s prompt, moved a strand of ’Qi’ into his palm.

[Soul authentication successful, synchronizing with all connected machines. ]

A loading page then appeared, and after a while, the page changed.

[Network error, unable to connect to the main server, synchronizing with local network devices.]

[Local network synchronization complete, some machines failed to sync, please check your network settings.]

He Ao closed the network interface, then logged out and logged in again.

This time, the system did not ask for his palm print and iris but directly requested his soul verification.

The change was successful.

He Ao threw aside the gloves and contact lenses, re-logged into the commander account, and then opened the bathroom door.

Click—

With his decision made, a heavy sound came from his left side.

He Ao turned his head, looking in the direction of the sound,

A thick metal door slowly retracted to the left, revealing a narrow space with a mirror to He Ao’s view.

A dry corpse was kneeling in front of the mirror, hands clasping its own neck.

It looked like it had been strangled by its own hands.

Waves of faint attraction emanated from the corpse.
