Chapter 681 - Living Brain Cells (10)
Chapter 760 of "Player Reload" opens revealing the plot: "Iâm not a Space Alien Species!"Midnight Dadâs anguished roar echoed in the Central Control Hall;... Discover what happens!
"Iâm not a Space Alien Species!"Midnight Dadâs anguished roar echoed in the Central Control Hall; if the helmet of the spacesuit were transparent in both directions, his distorted face would surely be visible.
Wait, judging by his accent, Midnight Dad is already a Black Person? Then never mind.
For some reason, hearing Midnight Dadâs Black accent, Li Cheng inexplicably heard the melodious sound of a guitar and the crackling whip hitting the air.
"Nobody said you were."
Out of Control spoke to console him while the others present also chimed in, urging Midnight Dad not to get agitated.
But everyone here was clever; seeing everyone slowly backing away, Midnight Dad knew he was no longer trusted,
and immediately reached behind, pulling a sharp metal shard from the crevices of his life-support backpack, and roared, "I didnât kill Valkyrie, Iâm not a Space Alien Species, those two are!"
The Sentry Robot hanging below the ceiling rail automatically identified the violent element,
and quickly swung around, two metal rods capable of releasing high voltage arcs pointed directly at Midnight Dad below, ready to shoot electric shocks.
Midnight Dadâs heavy breathing came from the speakers in the neck of the spacesuit, "Do I need to cut open the spacesuit and carve out my insides for you to see?"
With that, he actually took the metal shard and stabbed towards his ribs.
Sandâ
The outer layer of the spacesuit was exceptionally tough, refusing to be damaged no matter how he cut, scratched, or slashed.
Li Chengâs mind raced; Valkyrie was killed, he was in the ventilation duct, Out of Control outside the blast door, with only Edith, Zhongli Mieing, and Midnight Dad in the room.
Edith and Zhongli Mieing simultaneously accused Midnight Dad of being the murderer, leaving three possibilities: one, the first two are both Space Alien Species, conspiring to frame the latter.
Two, Midnight Dad is indeed the murderer, attempting to absolve himself with the radical approach of "if Iâm really a Space Alien Species, I should first kill the biggest threat, Edith."
As for the third possibility...
Li Cheng suddenly said, "Doesnât the holographic map explain that Space Alien Species have some Transformation Ability, right?"
"Right."
Dir said, "Space Alien Species can alter their body structure, including vocal cords, easily mimicking othersâ voices. They can also change height, body shape, weight, skin color, race, and even gender.
The only drawback is that Space Alien Species cannot disguise themselves as metal.
Thus, as long as we still wear spacesuits of different colors, Space Alien Species cannot fully disguise themselves."
Dir glanced at Li Cheng, "Iâve observed, Edith, Zhongli Mieing, Midnight Dad, and the deceased Valkyrie, all four spacesuits are intact, and thereâs no possibility of being impersonated by Space Alien Species.
Considering the likelihood of Edith and Zhongli Mieing being Space Alien Species is lowâthe risk of them conspiring is too high,
Midnight Dad remains the prime suspect."
"You Bitch!"
Midnight Dad cursed out loud, but before the cold arc emitter of the Sentry Robot, he could only stand in place.
"No matter what, this round we must execute one maintenance member to go out."
Hydra timely said, "The loud kid mentioned, among us, there are at most one or two Space Alien Species.
If this round we can kill one Space Alien Species, it will be much easier afterward.
If more deaths occur, then focus on Edith and Zhongli Mieing."
In just a few words, everyoneâs fate for Midnight Dad was decided,
Laughing God glanced at Midnight Dadâs hand holding the sharp shard tightly, the glove sinking deep, and advised, "Dude, have an open mind; life is bound to have some grievances.
Look at me, a dad secretly selling ancestral property to reward female live-streamers,
a mom believing in South Korean religion,
a middle-aged wife vowing to start a milk tea shop to overthrow Mixue Bingcheng,
a daughter on Xiaohongshu cursing my biological dad and asking me to explode Gold Coin early,
an eldest son urging classmates to go weekend hiking and trying to be a teen internet sensation on Aota Trail,
a younger son taking steroids and estradiol, trying to be a muscular medicine-girl.
Look at me; my mindset is still pretty good."
These words were so full of points that even Li Cheng was surprised.
Big brother, did your whole family meet each other on Tieba? What a real-life version of Family Guy.
Wait, no, how did Laughing God recover his memory so quickly?
Can even remember what his family is like?
Knowing his fate looked grim, Midnight Dad wasnât in the mood to listen to Laughing Godâs nonsense, standing there, clutching the metal shard tightly.
Laughing God, seeing him like this, said, "How about this, we reset it by setting the recoverable rocket cargo spacecraft trajectory to a middle orbital trajectory around the planet.
Space Alien Species donât have the ability to traverse space, so if, after all the repair work is done, we find the real culprit is someone else, and youâre an innocent human,
weâll have the loud kid remotely control the trajectory, let the recoverable spacecraft return to Xinxiang Base, upload your memory onto a hard drive, achieving cyber immortality.
In this way, you wonât lose out, right?"
"Ha, who do you think youâre fooling with those words?"
Midnight Dad said hoarsely, "The loud kid can execute dozens of base members without distinction; how can you guarantee it will expend computation power to bring me back to the ground?
Stop deceiving yourself."
Despite these words, Midnight Dad had already faced reality; he turned around to look at the Sentry Robot and took steps back into the rocket cargo spacecraft, leaning against the curved wall.
(The cargo spacecraft is bullet-shaped, connecting through the elevator shaft to the lower level automated warehouse, capable of restocking after launch.)
Laughing God and Out of Control, Li Cheng, moved Valkyrieâs corpse inside together, then exited the cargo spacecraft,
with Out of Control operating the fool-proof control panel outside the spacecraft, setting the ascent speed to 7.9 kilometers per second,
and the operating speed to 3.87 kilometers per second, enough to orbit the planet in a mid-range trajectory.
"Iâll be waiting for you all in Hell."
As the cargo spacecraft door slowly closed, Midnight Dad gave the thick glass of the observation window the middle finger, coldly saying, "You bunch of sandy..."
The final "beach" was not uttered before the bullet-shaped spacecraft was launched at terrifying supersonic speed by the electromagnetic rail, instantly vanishing from its original position.
This time Li Cheng stayed alert; he rushed up as soon as the rocket cargo elevator stopped vibrating, his helmet pressed against the observation window glass, but it was completely dark, and he couldnât see anything, so he gave up.
"Mid--night--Dad, arg!"
Laughing Godâs legs gave way, dropping to his knees, soul-calling crying,
then he suddenly slapped the ground and stood up, whistling leisurely, "Lulululu~, letâs keep on working in groups now? The repair progress is not even thirty percent, thereâs plenty left to do."
"Are you a chameleon? Switching emotions so quickly?"
Dir couldnât help but retort, but still checked his watch, the current execution countdown, 1 hour 27 minutes.
Time continues to tick slowly away.
