The whole weird world is waiting for me to go to heaven

Chapter 1171 A Thousand Faces
Liu Sheng rushed out of the sea of ​​fire carrying the strange baby.

I ran along the corridor for a long time.

She only stopped when the burning sensation behind her finally disappeared and the chill returned to her body.

I glanced back.

The corridor was pitch black, with burn marks everywhere. The walls were charred, the floor was covered in ashes, and the smell of burning still lingered in the air.

The baby in Liu Sheng's arms gradually changed from its withered and charred appearance to a rosy and soft one, returning to the state of an ordinary baby, only crying incessantly because it had just lost its mother.

Liu Sheng looked down at the restless child in her arms.

I was a little lost for a moment.

How come there's suddenly a child?

Strangely enough, when that soft, warm little body was pressed against my chest, the surrounding chill seemed to recede considerably.

Even the malice that had been stirring in the darkness seemed to be soothed by something, and slowly dissipated.

Liu Sheng returned to the room she had just been in.

Now the room has returned to its original state, with charred and dark colors everywhere, but no trace of the magma inferno remains.

Everything that just happened was merely a fragment of time.

She found a dull treasure chest under the bed.

"A suspected case of a dark horse suffering from late-stage Mary Sue syndrome? Who is this mocking?!"

There was only a windbreaker and a baby bottle inside.

The windproof jacket is okay; it's barely enough to keep you warm.

but--

Liu Sheng looked at the baby bottle, then at the baby in her arms.

"Is this treasure chest custom-made?"

"But the problem is—what's the use of just having a bottle? We haven't given any formula!"

As soon as he said this, the baby opened its mouth, revealing a mouthful of sharp teeth, and bit Liu Sheng hard.

That bite was extremely fierce.

The sharp fangs pierced the skin, and beads of blood immediately seeped out.

The baby, however, clung to her wrist, sucking hard on the wound.

As the blood entered her mouth, her little face became increasingly rosy, and her eyes gradually brightened.

Fortunately, this child is quite sensible.

He took two puffs and then let go.

She raised her face and giggled at Liu Sheng, finally stopping her crying.

Liu Sheng sighed helplessly, "Fine, so you like this..."

After leaving the room, Liu Sheng searched the house again.

Judging from the architectural style, this place should be similar to the Western Federation Empire, which once had a very advanced level of technology. Unfortunately, the electrical appliances have been corroded by the cold night and are no longer usable.

Liu Sheng carefully selected and recycled several materials and chips.

Other than that, there was nothing else to gain.

While in the basement, just as Liu Sheng was about to leave in disappointment after looking around, the baby reached out and tugged at Liu Sheng's down jacket, then whimpered and pointed to a corner of the wall.

So Liu Sheng found a rusty axe.

They cleaved that corner of the wall in two.

A dazzling purple light instantly illuminated the darkness.

Liu Sheng was both surprised and delighted: "It's an epic treasure chest!"

The expressions of surprise, joy, and exasperation rained down from above.

It seems this treasure chest brought a great surprise to the audience, judging from the enthusiasm of their expressions, its popularity has probably increased.

There are only three items in the treasure chest.

【Baby Swaddling Clothes】: Lying inside is warm and soft, even the fiercest child can turn into a well-behaved baby.

Liu Sheng: ...So I'm really going to have to take care of the baby?

[Mood Diary]: Record your feelings; it might change reality on a small scale. Even if you can't change reality, you can change your mood, right? — Humans, adept at self-deception.

The diary is pink and comes with a spring pen that comes in seven colors. It looks nice. The only problem is—in a place like this, does she really have the mood and time to write in her diary?

As for the effect...

The term "small-scale" is too vague.

To determine exactly how small the scope is and how effective the changes will be, we still need to conduct thorough testing.

The last item is a card.

The card surface has a faint glow and is covered with exquisite and intricate engravings, which are dazzling to look at closely.

[Ability Card]: Can restore one additional ability.

The simplest descriptions are the most impactful.

Liu Sheng's heart was burning with passion.

But after thinking about it, I still didn't use it.

None of her additional abilities are combat-related. It's better to save them and give them to teammates later, so they can be most effective in the early game.

She was certain that their ridiculous title would likely affect popularity and the treasure chest refresh rate, meaning most people probably wouldn't have many ability cards left.

The only problem is how to find teammates quickly.

……

Other teams face the same problem.

The initial crisis, which came on forcefully, had already taken many lives.

Those unknown beings who once commanded the winds and rains on the colorful planet were stripped of their abilities and thrown into a strange and malicious scene. They died without dignity before they even had a chance to resist.

Like a light that's been turned off casually.

It might even invite ridicule from the host.

Just like when Liu Sheng faced that situation, the host commented, "My God, what kind of reckless behavior is this? He actually snatched someone's treasure and he's still alive?"

"As expected, it's a crazy dark horse."

"Just like when he suddenly rose from an unknown family and quickly joined the ranks of the nobility, he was quite reckless."

"It's a pity, though, that popularity level is too low. I probably won't last long."

The host's voice, tinged with laughter, faded into the distance.

The audience's attention also turned to the other families.

……

For the "faceless" members of Bell Labs, the environment here is not too difficult to adapt to.

It has already undergone a complete transformation.

Simulation and transformation have become its instincts.

Strictly speaking, it doesn't even have a truly fixed body.

Therefore, as long as it knows what the other party needs, it can avoid the first crisis.

In the eternal night, after the "husband" fell asleep, the "woman" beside him slowly sat up in bed.

It turned its head and stared at the figure on the bed for a long time.

The other person was sleeping soundly, breathing heavily in their throat, their hand still tightly gripping it, as if even in their dreams they were afraid it would leave.

The faceless beings transformed into a flowing beam of light and shadow, easily slipping away from the clenched hands.

After walking around the room, he took out a glittering orange treasure chest from the cabinet behind the bathroom mirror.

It really is Bell Labs.

The treasure chests are all of extraordinary quality.

Upon opening the app—[Is digital immortality still useful for enthusiasts without WiFi?]—there were a few things inside:

【Soul Extinguishing Lamp】: One-click extinguishing of the lamp, effective against low-level monsters. It can be lit for 30 seconds at a time, with a cooldown time of 12 hours.

Faceless Crowd: It's alright.

[High-Energy Nutritional Capsules]*10: One capsule can sustain basic activity for six hours. Taste, aroma, and the overall enjoyment of meals have been removed.

Unfortunately, digital life forms don't need to eat.

[Consciousness Anchoring Patch] *3: Applied to the skin, it can stabilize self-awareness in a short period of time.

It's a pity again that digital lives don't have skins.

The last item is the [Ability Card].

As soon as the cabinet door closed, the man's ugly face was reflected in the mirror.

He was standing at the toilet door, staring at it with a gloomy look in his eyes.

"what do you?"

The Faceless One transformed back into a woman, revealing a gentle smile.

"Honey, can you please stop being so suspicious?"

"Isn't it because you always smile at other people?"

"From now on, I'll only smile at you, is that enough?"

"Is that enough...?"

The man hesitated.

The wariness in those cloudy eyes gradually melted away.

This is the additional ability that the Faceless Men have just regained—

[A thousand people, a thousand faces].

In other people's eyes, it is always the side that the other person wants the most.

What was originally a half-real simulation has now become a reality that completely captivates him.

So……

It shouldn't matter if I die at its hands, right?

The Soul-Extinguishing Lamp suddenly lit up.

It illuminated the darkness inside the room.
