Chapter 469: Chapter 435: Ambush

With specialization, transmission, and transformation as the theme, relate to social life and write an article—utilizing professional knowledge to make the device spin through belt transmission.

Li Cheng wrapped the belt around the PVC plastic pipe and pulled it hard. The spherical pipeline device, influenced by the floating engine, spun rapidly in place.

And the corpses stuck in the metal bucket rotated along with it. Arms with a corrosive effect were like blades in a meat grinder, efficiently slicing the Gray Green Giant.

The Giant’s flesh and blood regenerated at a high speed but inevitably got stripped to the bone until it completely dissipated.

Li Cheng precisely caught the butterfly hairpin, discarded and drove away the corpses once they had been drained of their residual value.

"..."

White Horse Tombstone, Zhangsun Yao, and others had never seen the butterfly hairpin, so they were bewildered, while Binary Tree and his group reacted immediately—

Even in the Extraordinary Domain, one must adhere to the physical law of energy conservation.

The Gray Green Giant had no weaknesses, infinitely regenerating, with its energy likely originating from the whole Secret Realm, similar in essence to the corpses. Thus, able to inflict harm.

"Is this... resolved then?"

Blood Lion Roar clicked his tongue; he had been ready to make a heroic sacrifice but now found himself lucky to get back his life.

"For now, yes."

Li Cheng turned to Zhangsun Yao, curiously asking, "How did you get here?"

They exchanged information, and according to Zhangsun Yao, after being controlled by the woman in black, her consciousness was interrupted, and when she woke up, she was already on this pedestrian street,

She, White Horse Tombstone, and Nikola were standing in a Burberry (UK luxury brand) shop, standing on a platform as if posing as dummy models.

Judging by the watch on their wrists, three hours and forty minutes had passed since they entered the Secret Realm.

"Like you, initially, we also wanted to use the personal panel to exit the killing field and return to the real world. But when we discovered our player essence had been taken and couldn’t leave,"

Zhangsun Yao frowned, pointing to a corner of the street at some building ruins, "the Gray Green Giant came out from there. As soon as it saw us, it started attacking."

The building had already collapsed in the previous battle, thankfully for Binary Tree—he released drones and mole-type robots to scan the scattered building debris,

Reconstructing the building through reverse analysis of concrete fractures, explosion traces, and flight distances using three-dimensional projection.

"Why is it still a courthouse?"

Blood Lion Roar asked in confusion; the building wasn’t tall, only three stories high, made of bricks and stones. Over the entrance canopy was a gilded metal sign that said "Crown Court."

"To be precise, it is a criminal court in the UK court system."

Binary Tree said, "The UK court system includes the Supreme Court, Court of Appeal, High Court, Crown Court, Magistrates’ Court, and County Court.

Magistrates’ Courts are lower-level, using summary procedures to try cases without a jury. If the case is severe or the defendant disagrees with the verdict, it’s transferred to the more punitive Crown Court."

In the commercial pedestrian street, a stylistically different criminal court stood inexplicably, indeed odd.

Li Cheng lowered his head, rubbing his chin with one hand.

The ouroboros pattern in that underground bio-lab, butterfly hairpins that could generate corpses, and the Gray Green Giant likely representing anger emerged from the Crown Court...

"Heh,"

Li Cheng suddenly smirked, chuckling lightly. Binary Tree and others immediately asked with anticipation, "Did you figure it out?"

Li Cheng confidently swept his bangs, "Not at all!"

"Then why are you laughing?"

"I thought of something amusing."

Li Cheng spread his hands, looking at the courthouse ruins, and sighed, "Back then, I planned to steal car batteries, trying to save a little money through primitive accumulation to create a pyramid scheme for illegal fundraising, then use the raised money to establish a casino in Myanmar,

And with cash flow, buy arms to become a warlord, using Myanmar as a base to advance into the whole of Southeast Asia.

However, I was sentenced by the court just after I started stealing car batteries."

A car battery thief who doesn’t want to be a warlord isn’t a good thief, right? Are you stacking buffs here?

Knowing he was just bluffing, everyone rolled their eyes, except for Blood Lion Roar, who listened quite seriously—

A hero’s origin doesn’t matter; those high and mighty, Level 38 above top-level Transcendents on the forum,

Actually, their paths to rise are wilder than one could imagine.

Apart from the Evil Science Alliance president, Side of Truth, who runs a nightclub, some in civil engineering—recruiting metal-controlling mutants and Wood Escape Blood Limit possessors, taking on global projects, building bridges and buildings.

Some in the transportation industry—using large-capacity space items to load containers at the dock and fly them directly to their destination. One individual equivalent to an entire freight plane fleet plus an ocean fleet.

Some in education—as private tutors, taking commissions from aristocrats to cram knowledge into wealthy children with Dharma Transmission Skill.

Some in the hotel industry—using the Shrinking Device to reduce normal humans to thumb-sized, letting them live in luxury model houses. Due to their reduced size, only a minimal amount of precious ingredients is needed to feed customers.

There are even copyists—downloading literary works in batches from parallel Script Worlds similar to Modern Earth, secretly bringing them back to Earth to upload online for profit.

In the first couple of years of the opening of the Slaughter Field Game, players all over showed extraordinary capabilities to make money, lacking nothing imaginable.

In comparison, starting from stealing car batteries and step by step going to Myanmar to open a casino already seems quite simple and pure...

Simplicity is truth.jpg

"Let’s stop talking about all these unrelated things. Didn’t that horse-headed man S say there are many abnormal existences in this Secret Realm besides him? Maybe we can’t understand now because we haven’t collected enough clues."

Red Spider rubbed his brow, "In any case, let’s leave this place first..."

The words halted abruptly, time seeming to slow down countless times; everyone clearly saw,

Red Spider’s forehead skin abruptly bulging and tearing. Skull fragments and brain matter splattered explosively.

No words were needed; all the players instantly went into combat mode. White Horse Tombstone inserted the coffin into the ground; Zhangsun Yao released paper airplanes to keep watch, and Blood Lion Roar pressed a button to switch the heavy-duty truck into Infinite Justice Gundam again.

"Red—Spi—der—"

Gray Rain wailed mournfully, picking up Red Spider’s crushed skull and broken brain matter.

On the stone-paved ground, a deep cut mark remained. Deep within the cut was a black and gold...spade king playing card.

"Card Emperor."

Binary Tree squeezed out the words between his teeth, looking into the void, coldly saying, "Not planning to show yourself?"

Card Emperor belongs to the Crown Casino guild, Level 27, with strength fairly average. For him to stealthily kill Level 27 Red Spider in front of so many experts can only mean one thing: he has defected to the Secret Realm, or rather, has been completely controlled by the abnormal existences in the Secret Realm, reduced to a slave.
