Chapter 247 - Brain

Chapter 247: Chapter 226: BrainHe originally thought that he could use the city’s monitoring system and Professor N’s telepathy to discover that player on the outskirts of the city and block him early on.

If he couldn’t find him at the first moment, he could also use Strange Doctor’s space gate to quickly gather members from various defense lines to stop him together.

Wait...

Cervantes suddenly noticed something, in all the images transmitted to his mind, it seemed that each Justice League member on the opposite side had a scar right along the hairline on their forehead.

Aquaman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, The Flash... All were the same.

Cervantes strode up to Batemans, yanked off the bat cowl, and the scar beneath it was oozing blood.

A terrifying possibility rose to his mind, Cervantes felt like he fell into an ice cave, a chill sweeping through his whole body, "You... are a player?"

Only players have a backpack bar, only players can arbitrarily use killing field props.

"Finally figured it out?"

Batemans, lifting his head, grinned, "I thought you’d realize it later."

"How is this possible?"

Cervantes, eyes wide open, "Whether it’s avatars, brainwashing others, or any kind of external avatar, none can bypass system restrictions directly and share an item bar with players, using the equipment inside, how did you do it?"

"Normal methods certainly won’t work, but I have my own ways."

Batemans slowly raised his hands, and in Cervantes’ horrified gaze, with a "click" sound, seamlessly removed... his own skull.

Revealing the brain inside.

"WTF..."

Cervantes’ scalp tingled, seeing that within Batemans’ brain, there was clearly a section whose color didn’t match the surrounding areas.

And that piece of the brain had a small USB wireless network card plugged into it.

"I used a certain method, cut out a part of my own brain, implanted it into these already dead superpower users’ bodies, thus remotely controlling them.

In this state, the dead bodies of superpower users are no longer seen by the killing field as whole individuals, but as an extension of my body, belonging to my part."

Batemans said with a smile: "Because of this, I can control them, access the equipment in the item bar."

"Cutting off your own brain, to create avatars?"

Cervantes said chillingly, "The healing potions sold on the street only heal external injuries, they can’t heal the brain. To grow new brain tissues, you need life potions produced by the killing field.

How many potions did you stockpile to dare to play like this?"

"It’s not as hard as you think."

Batemans said calmly, he first had Li Cheng instruct Gray Rain to use the special effect of , to separate his head from his body, then cut off a large piece of his own brain.

Li Cheng, missing half a brain, was still alive but unable to move.

With Gray Rain’s help, he was fed a micro life potion, allowing his brain to regenerate.

Then Li Cheng coordinated with Gray Rain to divide the cut-off half brain into several pieces, each piece fitted with a USB wireless network card.

Next, he plugged a signal transmitter into his own skull.

The signal transmitter, corresponding to the wireless network cards.

Even this was not enough, the effect of the Assembly Puppet had a limit, and the assembly subject must be "Li Cheng" himself.

He must first, in a condition with only a head, implant the separated brain fragments into different superpower users’ fresh bodies.

Then reattach the head back to the original body.

If the sequence was reversed, then the assembly effect would be weakened, unable to perfectly control the avatars.

(When only a head remains, the definition of "killing field" for "Li Cheng" is concentrated on the head, and the assembly effect is stronger at this time)

The final result... was quite successful.

It’s just that the surgery process was somewhat abstract, and Caroline, who was watching by the side, vomited several times.

"Bro, I feel like you’re crazier than me, have you considered joining our Wild Laughter Troupe? New members get new benefits."

Cervantes rubbed his temples and sincerely said, "Why are you telling me all this, aren’t you afraid of exposing your weaknesses?"

"No need to join the Wild Laughter Troupe, I’m not interested."

Batemans’ clone snorted, "As for why I told you this, on one hand, even if I don’t say it, if you open up Batemans’ skull and see the brain inside, you could guess the truth.

On the other hand, it’s kind of a deterrent."

Cervantes felt uneasy inside, "Deterrent?"

"Yeah, since I can control the corpses of Superpower Users remotely and make them into clones, isn’t there a possibility that I could do the same to other players? Like your body."

Batemans grinned, "For example, your body."

The next second, the roar of a raging engine resounded on the streets three kilometers away.

Li Cheng rode the bat-winged heavy motorcycle at full speed, with Caroline and Angelica in the back seat.

As for Gray Rain, this time she didn’t turn into a giant iron ball following behind the motorcycle, but transformed into a cone-shaped barrier breaker installed at the front of the motorcycle.

Boom boom boom!

All the vehicles blocking the way along the route were knocked flying by the Gray Rain brand barrier breaker,

The armed personnel from Vanguard Company tried to block, but were intercepted by the Justice League’s clones.

Three kilometers, two kilometers, one kilometer.

Cervantes watched Li Cheng speeding towards him and listened to Batemans’ threats about turning him into a clone, cold sweat seeping from his forehead. He really wanted to call the police.

Hello, Special Affairs Bureau? I’ve encountered a madman.

The motorcycle sped like a flash of lightning, arriving in an instant.

Cervantes’ anger rose from his heart, fury coursed through his veins, and he shouted, "Space Gate!"

Far away, Strange Doctor immediately understood, opening a Space Gate on the inevitable path of the motorcycle, trying to bury both bike and riders into the ground.

But this time he faced the original Li Cheng, who twisted the handlebar sharply, made an emergency turn, and didn’t fall headlong into the Space Gate, but drove the motorcycle straight up the exterior wall of a high-rise building.

The motorcycle engine roared, tires grinding against the wall surface, leaving sulfuric traces.

Whoosh—

The vehicle crossed over the building, briefly suspended in the air a hundred meters high.

Caroline, holding Angelica, feeling the intense weightlessness, looked down at the distant ground below and couldn’t help but close her eyes and scream, triggered by her fear of heights.

Li Cheng jumped off the vehicle, in mid-air he put on his Information Integration Glasses, and lightly patted the motorcycle, "It’s all yours."

"Understood."

Gray Rain grew two arms, one hooked the vehicle and the other grabbed the railing of the rooftop, pulling the motorcycle onto the high-rise rooftop. Then changed shape from a cone barrier breaker back into human form, and took the driver’s seat.

"Hold tight."

Gray Rain coolly raised an eyebrow to Caroline, drove the motorcycle off the rooftop, landing perfectly on the arched steel frame of the bridge, bypassing congested vehicles and armored cars ambushed on the bridge surface, heading towards Angel City.

Vanguard Company employees, with their mouths agape, watched this series of fluid movements, their thoughts momentarily stalled out as if jammed.

As for Li Cheng, he fell towards Cervantes on the ground, pulling out the in mid-air, and stabbing toward himself.
