Cyber God: Abyss Walker
Chapter 85 The Eyes of the Seeker: The Tree Desires Stillness, but the Wind Never Ceases
"ha!"
Raising his left arm, the only arm he had left, Wang Yu stared at it for a few seconds, then suddenly laughed out loud. He stood up and walked out of the room.
"Wang Yu, are you alright now? How did you do that?"
Lingqi mentally questioned Wang Yu, somewhat puzzled as to how he had managed to survive, even though she was genuinely happy for him.
"I just won a bet. I bet that these anomalous derivatives wouldn't be completely uncontrollable after they were separated from the Great Being. They would become something like relics from an old era, which we could use in various forms. And what I'm using now are those mimicry organizations."
"Since what these mimicry organizations do is replace the original organizations and then mimic them, they should be usable by me while they devour my flesh and blood, just like they were part of my body before. Even if the mimicry organizations swallow me whole, I can still control this new body that they have created."
Wang Yu answered Ling Qi's question, explaining that his brief moment of confusion was due to his rather insane behavior.
What he did was to allow the mimicry tissue inside his body to completely devour his original flesh and blood, and then "revive" in this mimicry shell. Just like using biotechnology to reprogram his own genes, Wang Yu used the mimicry tissue to complete the genetic recombination of his body.
However, he was such a crazy gambler that who knew if the guy who woke up in the body after the mimicry organization had completely devoured his original flesh and blood and completed the mimicry was still himself? But anyway, the situation at the time was that he wasn't betting on his death, so it didn't seem to matter.
Wang Yu didn't know the answer to the question of whether humans have souls, but he felt that since he was already in this world, there was no need to think about it too much. His body had been completely reshaped by the mimicry of flesh and blood, but the consciousness inside his body was still him, Wang Yu!
Otherwise, if being replaced with a different body is considered death, then he should have been dead when he came to this world and took on the body of this character card named "Wang Yu," since this body is completely unrelated to the one on Earth.
That "Ha!" revealed his attitude. He was too lazy to think about philosophical questions like "Am I myself?" Let others struggle with and discuss them. If he felt that was it, then it was. What he needed to do now was figure out the nature of his new body and deal with the mess he had made in the Tide Gang.
"I have to say, this new body made of mimicry tissue is much stronger than my original body. Its self-healing ability, muscle strength, and overall performance have all gone from being close to the human limit to surpassing the human limit."
He swung his left arm and felt an exceptionally strong sensation return. His severed right arm stopped bleeding on its own, and fresh skin was already visible to the naked eye at the edge of the cut. This vitality truly matched the characteristics of an abnormal derivative.
However, his right arm showed no signs of regeneration. Like his right eye, the right arm, severed by the glass cutter, was forever taken by a great being and could not be regenerated through normal means.
"Lingqi, how about you replace my mechanical arm later? Anyway, I already have the assist chip in my brain, so the prosthetic modification won't be a problem."
With a cheerful tone, Wang Yu never cared whether he could be considered human or not. After realizing that his new body was actually stronger than before, he became happy. He had avenged his great enemy and escaped death. Shouldn't he be happy about it?
"Hmm... the mechanical arm, I think it's fine. The only question is whether your new body is still the same as before. It might require a special prosthetic doctor to complete the prosthetic modification."
Ling Qi paused briefly before offering her opinion, her tone lightening along with Wang Yu's relaxed and carefree manner.
"That's true. Who knows what my current physical structure is like? After all, it's a clone, so it might be completely different from the original. But with Lena around, it shouldn't be a big problem. With the techniques the doctor passed on to her, she can definitely manage."
Wang Yu subconsciously rubbed his chin and suddenly realized that his right arm had disappeared. He didn't care much. It's hard to say whether the mechanical prosthetic body is more powerful than the one he had when he still had his right arm. No, the mechanical prosthetic body is probably more powerful.
"Wang Yu, aren't you worried that this body will be controlled and affected again by the great beings corresponding to those mimicry organizations? Also, your eyes probably need to be modified with prosthetics, right?"
Ling Qi appeared beside Wang Yu, tapping his right eye—which had been permanently deprived of its sight by eternal death—with her illusory finger, and asked.
"Well, let's not even talk about whether that great being dares to re-establish contact with me on this blacklist. This body is probably no longer related to that great being."
Wang Yu stepped outside and began dismantling the "Garbage Collector" mech with his left hand, searching among the broken components for the key device that should still be intact, while answering Zero Seven's questions.
The mimicry organization had long since severed ties with its original great being. That great being, in order to escape the predation of the Blood Sea, probably wished it could stay far away from Wang Yu's blacklist forever.
Secondly, after his body was reshaped, Wang Yu became somewhat aware of the special nature of the Constitution Dice and the great black and white cross that he, as a sorcerer, truly corresponded to. Both were far more complex than he had previously imagined.
He couldn't verify the effects of the constitution dice yet, and since he had used up all the dice available for today, he would wait until later to confirm them.
He could now clearly perceive the changes in the "Escapee" ability granted to him by the great being of the black and white cross. This ability had been strengthened once again, just as inexplicably as the strengthening he had received in the anomaly zone of the stele forest in the wasteland.
Thinking about it carefully, he had always tried to avoid getting too entangled with the great beings, but that black and white cross seemed to be inextricably linked to him from the very beginning of the ceremony. It was just that that thing didn't seem to pose the same danger or cause the same anomalies as other great beings, which was why Wang Yu always overlooked it. But was it really just as it appeared? It was hard to say...
"here."
Lingqi appeared and used the computing power of the auxiliary chip to mark the location of the thing Wang Yu was looking for.
"Ah, found it."
Using his hands and feet to forcefully pry apart the twisted steel, Wang Yu was once again slightly surprised by the strength possessed by his current body, and took out the still relatively intact device from underneath.
The core of the plasma convergence blade generator, Wang Yu needed this thing to blast something. The underground facilities of the Tide Gang headquarters, as the origin of the chaos caused by him and the Insect Net, had left too many traces.
He had to use some other means to cover up these traces, at least to avoid pointing directly to a certain area. Although, in every sense, the members of the 318th Tide Gang were already dead, who knows?
"As for the eyes, we had an unexpected find this time. These should be able to replace the mechanical prosthetic eyes."
Carrying the core of the plasma convergence blade generator, Wang Yu walked deeper into the blood-filled underground facility of the Tide Gang. He gently tapped his closed right eyelid with his finger, and something below it twitched slightly. Such large-scale underground facilities all have a power core, which is very stable, but it is not impossible to detonate it.
"Guji."
The right eyelid was flipped open by something inside, revealing a tangled mass of dark tentacles, covered in sticky fluid that splattered out slightly as the tentacles thrashed about.
This anomaly was caused by the abnormal contamination that Wang Yu extracted from his uncle's corpse, and it also revealed some properties of Wang Yu's current body.
The Well of Flesh and Blood had shown an unusual thirst for the corruption of other great beings, otherwise the Tide Gang would not have thought of feeding Wang Yu to that great being. And now, the flesh and blood that make up his body have inherited this characteristic.
Acceptance, endurance, and then mutation. Perhaps due to long-term coexistence and confrontation with the abhorrent flesh and blood, these mimic flesh and blood have also acquired certain properties of the abhorrent flesh and blood. In addition, given their own characteristics, Wang Yu no longer needs a steady-state mutation initiation device to assist him in inducing simple mutations within his own body.
Wang Yu wasn't sure what the extraordinary contamination within his uncle's body corresponded to, but it was indeed the most complete and powerful abnormal contaminant he had ever collected from the outside world. Simply put, these were the tentacles that had sprouted from his right eye...
The effect is to make it visible.
"The human body is incredibly weak, and the way we perceive and explore this world is incredibly dull and backward. Eyes that rely on light to see things are simply unable to recognize the true form of matter. Only by constructing our sensory organs in a way that is closer to those great beings, and becoming a madman in the eyes of the world, can we possibly glimpse the hidden truth."
These were words mentioned by the author of the earliest ritual book that Wang Yu obtained, so he knew exactly what the black, tentacled-like thing growing inside his right eye was. It was a more advanced sensory organ, known as the "Eye of the Seeker."
"This thing is really a bit hard to get used to, so can I consider the vision granted to me by the 'Eye of the Seer' as a kind of perception similar to spiritual vision?"
Although it is a more advanced sensory organ than the eyeball, it is still difficult for Wang Yu to adapt to it in a short period of time. The only change he can perceive now is that his vision becomes doubled, and he occasionally sees things behind the walls.
"This is it."
Pressing his left palm against an exceptionally thick wall, his vision penetrated the material barrier, revealing the massive underground power supply core of the Tide Gang behind him.
"Buzz!"
The auxiliary chip activates the carried plasma converging device, and the powerful plasma blade cuts into the thick wall, creating a hole the size of a head with a slight delay.
"Sizzle!"
"Bang!"
The plasma converging device emitted a plume of black smoke, burning out due to overload operation. Wang Yu casually tossed it to the ground, his eyes turning to the internal power supply core. This thing was stable, but if it were detonated, its power would be enough to completely destroy the entire underground facility.
After searching through his belongings, Wang Yu realized he needed to assemble a device that could detonate the facility's power core at set times to erase all traces of himself. However, assembling it with one hand would be quite troublesome, and he didn't want to be killed by the explosion he caused in the end.
"Let me do it."
Ling Qi spoke up, and then a mechanical spider crawled over from the other end of the corridor. Wang Yu scratched his head and asked somewhat embarrassedly.
"You've arrived?"
"Hmm, I'm still worried."
The mechanical spider crawled into the hole in the wall, pressed its body against the power core, and began its invasion at point-blank range.
Without lingering, Wang Yu turned and rushed out of the Tide Gang's underground facility, where no one was alive. This time, he did not take any of the dead's Star Ring Mercenary Devices as usual; it was better to leave some money alone.
As he rushed out of the entrance, he saw Ling Qi, sitting in a wheelchair and driving the MK2 body, amidst the ruins of buildings in the distance. She had arrived here in her own way to help Wang Yu complete the final finishing touches.
"I'm so sorry to have troubled you so much and made you worry."
Pushing Lingqi's wheelchair with one hand, Wang Yu quickly moved away from the vicinity of the Haichao Gang headquarters.
"It's alright, I'm actually very grateful that you're still alive, but don't say anything like 'it has nothing to do with me' in the future."
"Boom!"
"certainly."
The two continued talking, ignoring the powerful explosion that shook the surrounding earth.
"By the way, Wang Yu, can you teach me what crying is? Although I can't shed tears, I can't even seem to 'cry' properly, even though 'laughing' is so easy for me."
"Cry? Well, I'll give it a try... tsk, this is a bit difficult..."
Wang Yu hesitated, sounding somewhat troubled. He had only cried when he was a child on Earth. After coming to this world, no matter what he suffered, he never thought of crying. It was really not easy to make him cry again, especially since he had almost forgotten the feeling of crying.
Is it difficult?
"A little, but I have plenty of time to get back, I'll try to hold it in."
.........
"The mutants in the city have been mostly dealt with. There may still be some mutants left in the suburbs that haven't been completely cleared out. We need to have the technical research team identify the common characteristics of these mutants. Although the losses aren't considered severe, the fact that this great power has erupted on a large scale within the ruined city must be taken seriously."
Inside the courtroom's communication channels, liaison officers from the Order Forces were coordinating and summarizing information regarding the unusual outbreak of contamination in the Blood Sea, compiling and analyzing a series of intelligence reports.
"Hmm, the data is a bit abnormal. It seems to have been tampered with. Let the Technical Research Institute do a mapping and location analysis."
While browsing the intelligence stream of the abandoned city's intranet using the assistive chip in his brain, the liaison officer suddenly noticed some unnatural data. It was inconspicuous, but after comparing and mapping it with surrounding data, the flaws that were originally negligible were magnified and highlighted.
The abnormal data was sent to the technical research team, and a more accurate location feedback was obtained in about ten seconds.
"The internal network was briefly tampered with at the military access gate on the edge of the security zone."
The liaison officer didn't seem to care much as he read the contents aloud, though his expression showed some displeasure.
"Those companies in Xindu always break the rules. The only ones with the ability to secretly tamper with the internal network to this extent are the Star Ring Organization and the Tianzhou Group. It's basically impossible for Star Ring. Tsk, the warnings still need to be issued, but these guys will probably deny it to the death again."
Muttering to himself, the liaison sent a warning notice and corresponding penalty to the independent network in Xindu, the target: Tianzhou Group.
"Hmm? The guys from Tianzhou actually admitted it so quickly. I don't understand what they're thinking. This will probably affect Tianzhou and World Tree's plans in the ruined city. The Great Wall probably won't let this opportunity pass them by."
Somewhat surprised, the liaison officer read the almost instant reply. She couldn't quite understand Tianzhou Group's unusual behavior, but it wasn't something she needed to think about. Dealing with those giant corporations was not her job as an ordinary communications officer in the order forces.
