Highway Survival for All: My RV's Infinite Evolution
Chapter 257 The Cage
"laugh--!"
The violent gunfire came to an abrupt halt.
The tip of the red holy lance rested steadily in front of the kitten's heterochromatic eyes, less than three centimeters away from her pink nose!
If they had moved even an inch further, the succubus princess would have been blown to pieces.
"A succubus... princess?"
The long, narrow prosthetic eye on the mecha gleamed with a ghostly blue light. Through the panoramic screen, Lin Hui coldly looked down at the trembling cat.
Hearing this voice, which seemed to carry a hint of hesitation, Albedo Lysera's heart, which had been in her throat, finally felt half relieved.
She slowly opened one eye and, through the light emanating from the gun tip, secretly glanced at the mecha in front of her.
"Phew... That scared me to death."
Albedo Ryuseira breathed a sigh of relief, secretly pleased with herself: "Hmph, as expected, even this cold-blooded human male was intimidated after hearing about the great succubus kingdom and my noble identity."
Feeling that she had gotten her revenge, Albedo Lysella immediately stopped her earlier pathetic, fleeing state.
She straightened her cat body in mid-air, slightly raised her chin, and tried to adopt a noble and aloof posture, preparing to negotiate with this human in a condescending tone.
However, before she could finish speaking, the mech in front of her suddenly emitted a voice ten times colder than before:
"Don't move. If you dare to make even one more move, I guarantee this gun will pierce your head and pin you to the void."
"..." Albedo Lysella's raised chin froze instantly, and her outstretched little hand, ready to point out the world, also froze in mid-air.
"Now, I'll ask, and you'll answer. Answer each of my questions honestly. The speed and sincerity of your answers will determine how many seconds you have left to live."
"Did you understand?"
Feeling the destructive power that could erupt at any moment from the tip of the spear, and the undeniable killing intent in the other party's tone, Albedo's fleeting royal pride was instantly shattered.
She shuddered and frantically tapped the fluffy cat's head like she was pounding garlic.
People have to bow their heads under the roof.
Even though she was a noble succubus princess, when faced with the real fear of death, her will to survive instantly took over.
Inside the mecha.
Lin Hui looked at the terrified kitten, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes.
The reason he didn't immediately kill wasn't because of any of that ridiculous princess status. In this post-apocalyptic road survival game, even if the opponent was a god, as long as their health bar was visible, Lin Hui dared to slaughter them.
What he truly values is intelligence!
This second map, designated M-007, 【Land of the Mist】, is simply too vast and too eerie.
Even on the outskirts, there are all sorts of mythical and powerful creatures. Keep in mind that most players nowadays struggle to even kill Tier 4 monsters, and even the top players today, with their combined strength including vehicles, are only at Tier 6.
Let alone them, even I, with my 7th-tier strength, felt that the Misty Land was fraught with danger.
How big is this map? Besides the current elimination tournament, what other crises will erupt in the main storyline? What are the origins of those terrifying creatures hidden in the deep fog?
The area where Lin Hui is currently located is probably not even the tip of the iceberg of the Misty Land.
If he could extract some information from this intelligent "mythical creature," it would definitely help him gain an absolute dominant position in the fierce competition to come!
"The first question."
Lin Hui's hand, gripping the Holy Lance, remained motionless as he coldly asked, "Do other intelligent races exist in the Misty Lands?"
Albedo Lysella was visibly taken aback when she heard the question.
A hint of confusion flashed in her heterochromatic eyes, as if she were trying to search through the fragmented memories in her mind.
"I...I don't remember very well..."
Feeling the Holy Lance approach a millimeter closer, Albedo Lysera screamed in terror: "I really can't remember many details! But my limited memories tell me..."
"This...this world shrouded in mist, shouldn't have any native intelligent races!"
She swallowed hard and added, "Because... the Misty Lands are, in essence, a giant prison!"
"cage?"
Lin Hui raised an eyebrow, and a questioning voice came from inside the mecha.
"Yes," Albedo Lusera explained, "All the powerful beings of the Misty Lands, including myself, were forcibly drawn from their respective star systems and planets by some unfathomable, terrifying force that transcends all things!"
"We're trapped here, unable to leave, and also suffering from a powerful curse..."
"About thirty years ago... as you humans, known as 'Players,' began to descend upon this area, the curse that oppressed us began to disappear."
As Lin Hui listened to Albedo Lysera's narration, his mind raced.
Sure enough!
This perfectly matches the clues he deduced in the Misty Town instance!
"What exactly is the effect of that curse?" Lin Hui pressed on.
A deep sense of lingering fear flashed in Albedo Lysella's eyes, as if she were recalling something more terrifying than death:
"Forgetting... folly..."
"That curse is like some kind of supreme rule. It ignores your rank and your bloodline. Even if you are a high-ranking ninth-order mythical being, under the long-term erosion of this curse, you will slowly forget your name, forget your past, and forget the power you possess."
"Ultimately, all living beings will become foolish, turning into creatures that wander aimlessly in the mist, feeding on instinct alone!"
Lin Hui gasped.
He thought of the enormous, terrifyingly powerful high-level beings he encountered in the edge areas when he first entered the Misty Lands. They were all prisoners who had been captured and brought to the Misty Lands to serve their sentences!
Who arrested them?
Is he the mastermind behind the entire "Road Survival Game"?
Capture these powerful beings, then erode their sanity with curses, and finally release the players in...?
The thought sent a chill down Lin Hui's spine. The immense power behind the scenes, controlling everything, was simply unimaginable.
"Since even 9th-tier beings become mentally impaired, how did you manage to break free of the curse and regain consciousness?"
When this was mentioned, a trace of royal pride finally returned to Albedo's eyes.
"It's a red gemstone necklace given to me by my mother, the Queen of the Succubus Clan. It was its power that protected me, allowing me to maintain my consciousness in the Cursed Lands, but even so, I've forgotten so much..."
At this point, Albedo glanced at the now-vanished ruby necklace, then at the holy spear in Lin Hui's hand, and her eyes welled up with tears of grievance.
"But... you ruined it just now, you rude guy..."
