Eternal Night

Chapter 223 The Truth
"You set up a level 4 shelter."

"You get a designated item extraction reward."

"You must return to the world where the shelter is located every thirty days and stay for three days."

"You need to meet the following conditions to upgrade this shelter to level five or above."

"Go to the location where the data on the mature super soldiers is stored."

"Know the origin of the bio-beasts."

"Tell the truth to all mankind."

Wu Xianxiao remained silent, watching the middle-aged man in front of him gradually change.

He was rapidly transforming into it, from a human being into a demon that was a mixture of metal, chitin, and something else.

From this monster, Wu Xianxiao sensed a breath that was both familiar and unfamiliar to him.

He felt the aura of this thing on the wild boar monster, on the black forest goat kid, and on the rock giant.

The aura was extremely mixed. This was not a hybrid at all, but a whole Chimera transformation, just like the appearance of a creature with a fly head, fish gills, a human body, bird wings, and cow and horse hooves in reality. This was definitely not something that could be explained by the so-called hybrid.

At this time, the monster had completely transformed and no longer possessed any characteristics of a middle-aged man. All the sounds coming out of its mouth were meaningless, and its entire appearance was very similar to that of a super-armored soldier. However, the super-armored soldier was in the style of an exoskeleton armor, while this monster could open its mouth, which was full of sharp teeth, and had multiple mouths all over its body.

If before this, Wu Xianxiao could still feel the rational aura of the middle-aged man as a part of humanity from this monster, then now this monster is full of violent and incomprehensible murderous intent.

In a flash, Wu Xianxiao retreated more than 30 meters, and in front of him, countless spikes emerged from the monster. Each spike broke the sound barrier, and shock waves were generated between the stabbings. The speed was extremely fast and the power was extremely great, completely covering the area within a distance of more than 30 meters in front of him, and the ground was torn like tofu.

Wu Xianxiao's retreat speed was already fast enough, but under the pursuit of these spikes, he was caught up halfway and was pierced all over his body by the spikes, especially his head, eyes, throat, heart and other vital parts.

However, at this time Wu Xianxiao was already thirty meters away. All the spikes burst into sparks when they fell on his body, and then only left white marks on his body surface. Even his skin was not broken. Instead, a large number of spikes were directly broken.

The monster seemed a little confused. It tilted its head, and the next moment all its spikes retracted. The monster's body thrust forward, and the space began to fluctuate like the surface of water. Its entire body penetrated into the space and disappeared. But at the same time, Wu Xianxiao stood still, shook his arms, and hit the side of his body with one claw and one palm.

With a loud bang, Wu Xianxiao slapped the monster on the chest with one palm and tore off a large piece of flesh mixed with chitin from its abdomen with one claw.

This monster actually penetrated the space and came to the side of Wu Xianxiao. At the moment of being hit hard, its hands stretched out forward frantically and waved repeatedly. Even though it was attacked, it had no reaction. It hit Wu Xianxiao's arms, shoulders, and chest five or six times in a row at an incredible speed.

After the explosion, Wu Xianxiao was knocked to the ground and rolled backwards, while the monster also escaped from the space and rolled on the ground.

The man and the monster each rolled dozens of meters away. The monster's chest exploded violently as it rolled, and Wu Xianxiao also spat out a mouthful of blood while rolling. It was obvious that both of them were seriously injured.

"……sharp!"

Wu Xianxiao roared, and slapped the ground with both hands while rolling. He immediately jumped up from the rolling state. While he was still in the air, his back shook, and the broken sword fell into his palm.

"Come again!"

Wu Xianxiao held the knife in one hand and was about to clasp his fists to speak, but he didn't expect that the monster began to dissolve and rot all over as it rolled over, and it was dissolving and rotting at a speed visible to the naked eye.

At this moment, part of the monster's head turned into a human face, and a voice came out of the human face again: "... No, you are not a super soldier, you are a pure-blooded human!? Impossible, how can a pure-blooded human be so strong?"

The face that was revealed did not look like a middle-aged man, but a young man, but his appearance was distorted, like a monster and a human, and it was difficult to see clearly.

Wu Xianxiao looked at the rapidly decaying monster in confusion. He keenly felt that the one speaking at this time was neither the middle-aged man nor the monster itself, but a fragment of consciousness that descended from an unknown source.

This person looked familiar to Wu Xianxiao, and he suddenly burst into laughter: "Wrong, wrong, we were all wrong... The so-called super soldiers are a trap, we are not super soldiers at all, you are the real super soldier, it turns out that humans can really evolve to this level on their own!!"

Wu Xianxiao's mind was full of question marks. He really wanted to refute this man's statement. He was not a super soldier at all. Was this his martial arts skills?

This human face seemed to see Wu Xianxiao's doubts. He tried hard to lift up the rotten spikes on his body and said, "I just extracted a part of your flesh and blood. I originally thought that you were the super soldier of this generation, but who knew that you were actually a pure-blooded human. We were wrong. All our theories were wrong. They were all traps, but you are the real super soldier..." "Go! Go and uncover the truth. As long as you are here, maybe there is still a glimmer of hope for us humans..."

"My body is in Hawaii... You must get it in advance..."

The human face seemed to be disturbed by something. It spoke intermittently and its sentences were completely incoherent. Except for the key location of Hawaii, all other information was blocked. Then, the human face and the monster decayed and disappeared together.

Wu Xianxiao's mind was still full of question marks. He walked to the place where the monster was rotting and confirmed that there was nothing else except pus on the ground. He stood there and began to think silently.

The monster was not killed by his attack, but its "lifespan" came to an end.

Although it was incredible, his intuition told him that this was the truth.

The carrier of this monster is a middle-aged man, and the middle-aged man himself has the body of an ordinary person. Driven by an inexplicable force, the middle-aged man turned into a "Titan Monster". Yes, this thing is probably the so-called Titan Monster.

But an ordinary person's body is simply incapable of bearing such a tremendous force. Even Wu Xianxiao himself has practiced multiple sets of skills and improved his basic physical attributes to have his current strength. This Titan monster has completely squeezed out all the vitality of his body, compressing decades of lifespan into a few minutes, and using it out within a dozen minutes, so he can reach this terrifying level.

Based on the brief fight just now, Wu Xianxiao could fully confirm that the strength of this Titan Monster was even superior to that of the Wild Boar Monster, and even surpassed the bosses in various areas of Castlevania. Even he was injured in a short period of time. This strength was truly terrifying.

“…It’s all a puzzle, totally incomprehensible.”

Wu Xianxiao murmured this, squatting in front of the pile of rotten meat in silence for a while, and said: "Although I don't know your name, your ideals and pursuits are very noble. Wei Lan... succeeded in another world and really saved all mankind and made this planet blue again, so your sacrifice is not meaningless."

After saying that, he turned and walked towards the city.

At this moment, armed personnel had gathered in the city, but they did not find any traces of biochemical beasts, so they began to treat the wounded. When Wu Xianxiao found Li Xianchun, the whole city had returned to peace again, and the disaster that killed dozens of people had ended silently.

“…This is our normal state.”

Li Xianchun sat on the roadside holding Daphne. She stared blankly at the street in the distance. There used to be dozens of corpses lying there, but now the corpses were gone. Only people were coming and going, and everyone seemed to be used to it.

Wu Xianxiao also sat beside her and listened to Li Xianchun say: "Life is the least valuable thing in this world. Everyone is struggling to survive. Living one more day is a good thing, but it's just surviving, just like a walking corpse with only the instinct to live left..."

Wu Xianxiao remained silent and sat there silently. Li Xianchun looked at him and asked, "So, what exactly is that monster? What happened?"

Wu Xianxiao shook his head. For a moment he didn't know where to start. He stood up and said, "Let's go back to the hotel first. I am also confused and hesitant about this matter."

The two returned to the hotel, and as soon as they entered the room, Li Xianchun asked the same question again.

Wu Xianxiao had nothing to hide. Apart from the mission he received from the main brain, he told Li Xianchun almost everything about his battle with the monster and what the monster's human face said without reservation.

Li Xianchun listened carefully to the content and pondered the information. She asked Wu Xianxiao, "Are you...really not a super soldier?"

Wu Xianxiao said seriously: "I'm not lying to you, I'm really not a super soldier, all my strength comes from martial arts, I'm an extremely standard pure-blooded human!"

Although Li Xianchun found it hard to believe, he still nodded and said, "Okay, let's assume that everything you said is true. Since there are pure-blooded humans... then what are mixed-blood humans?"

Wu Xianxiao didn't say anything, and Li Xianchun didn't expect him to say anything either. She said at the same time, "It's a pity that the clues are broken. Otherwise, I think if we follow the clues, we will definitely find out the truth! Maybe we can even find out the origin of the biochemical beasts. What a pity."

Wu Xianxiao shook his head, and Li Xianchun immediately stared at him.

“Although the middle-aged man didn’t finish his words and didn’t even tell me the location of this mysterious place, he just had this thought at the time. I did feel the general location of this thought, so it is possible to find this place, but…”

Wu Xianxiao looked at Li Xianchun seriously and said, "I have a hunch that as long as we find this place and reveal some truth, the world will change drastically. By then, you, your sister, and everything you have seen will turn into a horrible hell, and all of humanity will most likely face the real doomsday. Even so..."

"Do you still want to pursue this truth?"

Li Xianchun trembled all over when he heard this.
