Beep—Beep—

The alarms echoed throughout the vessel as the two gates in front and behind the corridor simultaneously opened, and several net surveillance agents rushed in.

They had already received the relevant intelligence from Zak, fully aware of Li Cheng’s threat, and decisively used their ultimate move, throwing out a rope made of pure light.

The True Word Rope·Fake, inspired by Wonder Woman’s equipment from DC Comics, has the effect of strongly binding a target and forcing them to speak the truth.

Since it’s labeled "Fake," the binding effect is slightly weakened, but the truth-telling effect remains.

Whoosh!

Four ropes wrapped around Li Cheng’s wrists and ankles. One person shouted, "What’s your purpose on Earth? Who sent you here?"

Li Cheng instinctively replied, "Fate, an unfair fate sent me here."

"..."

The net surveillance agents paused for a moment, and someone whispered in confusion, "Isn’t that a line from the play Thunderstorm?"

"Wrong,"

Li Cheng suddenly turned to look at him, and righteously retorted, "This isn’t Thunderstorm, but a play adapted by Nigerian dramatist Femi Ososfisan from Cao Yu’s Thunderstorm, titled All for Catherine, which tells the story of a Chinese entrepreneur in Africa abandoning a Black maid.

Its famous lines include ’You are the most beautiful African girl I have ever seen’;

’Can you teach me English? There are stars in your eyes’;

’I am returning home, this child is my gift to you.’"

"???"

The net surveillance agents froze, and even the network command hall on the other end was silent.

This... doesn’t seem right?

The promised True Word Rope ensures the truth, so why is there nonsense?

And what’s with "You are the most beautiful African girl I have ever seen," stealing home?

In the command hall, the network surveillance leaders were puzzled, only a few noticed something amiss, "His tone changed."

The Experience Playing Method, this long-unused skill came in handy here, as Li Cheng temporarily split off a fragment of his personality, separating memories related to the Killing Field System,

even if bound by the True Word Rope, due to fragmented memories, he couldn’t reveal any information.

"My turn."

Li Cheng’s right hand shook and yanked, the rope trembled like a ship’s anchor chain, pulling a net surveillance agent off the ground, flying across most of the corridor, falling into his hands.

"Fire!"

The remaining agents fired simultaneously, but since this was deep under Europa’s sea, with terrifying water pressure only separated by a wall, they dared not use high-power live ammunition, opting for electric shock guns and tranquilizer darts instead,

Gray Rain casually liquefied part of its body, forming a large cocoon around Li Cheng, easily blocking all incoming arcs.

As for Li Cheng, he grabbed a few agents and wrapped the True Word Rope around them, quickly asking, "Where’s Zak being held? What does the United Government know about the Killing Field?

Why does the standby player’s ID show as God of Mankind?"

The three net surveillance agents covered their mouths tightly, faces flushed red, held it for two seconds, then said in unison, "Zak is held in the highest-level prison in Prison Simulator.

We’ve basically been informed of all situations, including the Slaughter Field Game, Extraordinary Guild, task types, and each of your intelligence data.

The United Government takes this very seriously, establishing a temporary institution led by the security department, stationed in Skytop Company.

As for the God of Mankind..."

The three agents simultaneously choked, disappearing without warning from where they stood.

Apparently, it was the higher-ups on the other end of the line, watching the live broadcast, who forcibly unplugged the three agents.

"Zak, you really are a big sieve..."

Li Cheng silently mocked in his heart, the first rule of the Forum’s homepage free-to-download Player’s Guide PDF is "Don’t try to outsmart, don’t reveal the Killing Field’s existence to Script World NPCs,"

Losing NPC trust and increasing task difficulty are still the least of your worries,

just fear the NPCs truly believe it and spread the information to the whole world, directly causing the plot to spiral out of control.

Meanwhile, the net surveillance agents on both ends of the corridor were desperate, two of them, with combined effort, brought in a three-bow bed crossbow shaped like a tiger’s head.

It was made from three bows combined, two facing forward, one facing backward, wound mechanically through pulleys.

Clink-clink—

As the pulleys turned, the bowstring tightened rapidly, and around the body-length mystic iron arrows, a fierce tiger’s shadow appeared.

The Extinct Crossbow, from a mid-21st-century single-player game set in the Southern Song era, deals critical damage to the target, reducing health to 1%, applying a severe injury debuff that reduces all healing effects.

"Fire!"

The steel-like arrow shot out instantly, in the command hall, the net surveillance department’s higher-ups all watched with anticipation.

They didn’t expect this arrow to directly kill the Pifu. Besides, the identity of the transcendent from the Otherworld was mysterious; blindly killing him would lead to unpredictable consequences,

and certain intelligence obtained from Zak had aroused their interest.

Technology blueprints that could be used post-copying, biological agents that prolong life, cultivation technique manuals that even ordinary people could practice...

The so-called crisis is a coexistence of danger and opportunity. The Killing Field world, where supernatural powers truly exist, has a civilization level beyond ours.

The Extinct Crossbow, able to cause crippling injuries without direct fatality, is perfect for this occasion.

Whoosh—

The arrow flew through the corridor, just before hitting the metal cocoon, it automatically opened, and inside stood Li Cheng, tossing out... a Black person.

Specifically, an unnamed U.S. 44th President Black Pharaoh.

Black Pharaoh was copied from the Heat Death Corridor and didn’t possess full self-awareness, with memories remaining at the Escape from Loli Island task period.

Upon landing, bewildered, he was directly pierced through by the Extinct Crossbow.

The Extinct Crossbow only targets the first hit, and after striking Black Pharaoh, its momentum diminished, skidding to a halt on the ground.

And even with just one life point left, Black Pharaoh didn’t die, lying flat, eyes vacant, croaking with his remaining breath, "yes, we can..."

The net surveillance agents’ eyelids twitched wildly, they didn’t have time to question why Black Pharaoh appeared, they loaded and fired another arrow.

With more reaction time for the second arrow, Li Cheng drew the Ape-man Degeneration Gun, aimed down the corridor, pulling the trigger, activating the Barrage Splendor skill.

A dense barrage swept across the corridor, colliding with the mystic iron arrow, instantly turning it into an ordinary wooden arrow.

With no chance to shoot a third arrow, Li Cheng raised his palm, snapped his fingers, summoning the Farmer Heroic Spirit.

Right hand revolver, left hand whip, I’m the master of the plantation.

The farmer smiled wickedly, pausing over the Black Pharaoh lying on the floor, then stormed into the net surveillance agents like a tiger among sheep, the whip cracking violently.

"Ah!"

"Ah!"

"Oh ho ho ho—"

Though battle-hardened elite soldiers, the net surveillance agents succumbed to the soul-touching pain, rolling on the ground, tears and snot everywhere.

The intense pain transmitted along the network cables to the real-world neural interfaces.

All the gaming pods emitted a buzzing alarm. Worse, Li Cheng, amidst the chaos, released the Fog Concealment Technique, thick fog engulfed the ship,

sowing chaos in the command hall, with the net surveillance department’s higher-ups unable to see what was happening in the game.

"Neural signal connection disorder! Our people risk being kicked out anytime!"

"A1, B4, C9, D4 agents’ data irregular, upload bandwidth exceeded!"

The overweight leader of the net surveillance department narrowed his eyes, suddenly realizing, shouting, "Pifu is downloading information about our world, quickly! Cut all gaming pod network connections!"

Unfortunately, a step too late.

Li Cheng, amidst the thick fog, inserted a USB stick into the foreheads of incapacitated net surveillance agents, violently downloading memories.

Before the gaming pods were disconnected, controlling one agent, he opened over twenty Teleportation Gates in one go,

without bothering to check the specific coordinates behind the doors, removed the USB stick, and with Gray Rain, jumped directly into one of the teleportation gates, vanishing.
