Infinite flow is not like that at all!

Chapter 99 Has the World Changed?

Shen Ye gently rubbed his cuff with his fingertips, a nonchalant smile on his face, listening to Xiao E's eloquent speech, but he felt no relaxation in his heart.

He sensed something was wrong with Xiao E the moment that terrifying phantom awakened in the first-floor corridor.

Normally it's awkward and uncooperative, but it's unusually excited, even its voice is trembling—not out of fear, but out of uncontrollable excitement.

It wasn't until he stepped into the third floor that he clearly saw that the death line wrapped around that eyeball had increased from the initial B level to A level.

and...

It's still gradually getting stronger.

A barely perceptible glint flashed in Shen Ye's eyes.

The reason for the little devil's change of heart is obvious. There is something he desperately wants here. Once he gets it, he will probably turn the tables and settle accounts with him.

He and Xiao E were inherently in a relationship of mutual restraint. The other was a demon, born with the ability to tempt and then turn on him, and he had never truly trusted him. They could bicker and work together normally, but when it came to crucial moments, every precaution had to be taken.

"What are you thinking about? Why are you spacing out?" Xiao E's voice was a little urging, interrupting his thoughts. "I'm telling you something serious. When it comes to awakening your mortal nature, choosing the right tool versus choosing the wrong one makes a world of difference. Don't take it lightly."

"Oh? How is it different?" Shen Ye asked, following its lead.

Seeing that he had taken it to heart, Little Evil said, "You think mortal items are just ordinary ability awakening items? Go ahead and learn them."

"Do you know what lies buried beneath the polluted sea? It's the remnants of ancient times, the remains of fallen gods, the totems of the primordial era, and all the colossal creatures crushed by time."

"Mortal artifacts are essentially pollutants, fragments of these things that have dissipated and settled with pollution. When you absorb them, it's like opening a wound in your body, allowing you to connect with the ancient traces buried beneath the sea of ​​pollution."

"Your blood and soul will follow this connection to receive the gifts from the ancient times. This is what is meant by the awakening of mortal nature. It is not about gaining power out of thin air, but about snatching a share of inheritance from a pile of corpses."

It coaxed gently, its voice carrying a natural seductive power: "That's why the starting point is so important. Others fight tooth and nail for a superficial piece, only managing to pick up scraps and scraps. But if you get the top-tier piece, you can leave everyone else far behind."

"so."

It paused for a moment: "The fourth floor is where you should go."

It finally revealed its true purpose.

"The things below are the real treasures of this corridor. Once you get them, your awakening of your mortal nature will begin at the same point as someone else's end."

Shen Ye raised an eyebrow, understanding dawning on him.

Sure enough, what it wanted was on the fourth floor.

His expression remained impassive; instead, he seemed persuaded, nodding slightly. "That sounds good. Alright, let's go check out the fourth floor. I'm curious what treasures are hidden at the bottom."

Anyway, he'll deal with whatever comes his way. He wants what he wants, and if some petty thug tries to cause trouble, he has plenty of ways to stop him. When things really come to a head, it's not certain who will win or lose.

Little E assumed he believed her, his excitement barely concealed as he urged, "That's right! Hurry and find the entrance, or things might go wrong."

Shen Ye ignored its urging, looked up at the Minion standing ramrod straight beside him, and asked, "Minion, what exactly is on the fourth floor? Tell me as much as you know."

The Minion, who had been tiptoeing to observe the corridor, shuddered upon hearing this, his round body swaying, his big eyes filled with fear: "Captain? You can't go to the fourth floor!"

It hurriedly waved its hand, its voice strained: "We lower-level containment objects never dare to approach the entrance to the fourth level. We've only heard that there are three containment objects there, each of them the most terrifying existence in the entire corridor. From ancient times to the present, countless outsiders have broken in, but none who dared to go down to the fourth level have ever come out alive, not even a bone fragment remained."

"That dangerous?" Shen Ye tapped the wall with his fingertip. "Then do you know where the entrance is?"

The Minion shook his head vigorously, his big eyes filled with fear: "I don't know, I don't know! The entrance always appears randomly; no one can find the pattern. And even if they did, no one dares to go in. Captain, let's just pick up some loot on the third floor and leave. It's not worth going to our deaths!"

It was a sincere piece of advice.

In its eyes, although Shen Ye was powerful and could recruit a group of ferocious creatures on the second floor, the three on the fourth floor were fears etched into the genes of all contained creatures. They were not even in the same league. If it really went down there, it was afraid that it would also be buried with him.

Shen Ye didn't reply, but just glanced at the closed containment rooms on both sides of the corridor.

"It's okay if you don't know," he said slowly. "There are so many local residents here, just ask someone who knows. The containment items on the third floor should know more than you do."

Meanwhile, deep within the third level, in containment chamber number 017.

"What a fool."

A shrill laugh echoed in the closed room, piercing the eardrums.

Two figures hung upside down on the iron frame in the center of the room; they were two members of Tianfang's team. Their uniforms...

His clothes were ripped to shreds, the wounds were so deep that bone was visible, and dark blood dripped down the hem of his clothes. His face was as pale as paper, clearly indicating that he had suffered a great loss.

Standing before them was a humanoid mutant, just over two meters tall. Its torso was covered with more than a dozen arms, some as slender as a child's, others as thick as a strong man's, their fingernails long and black blades, which were casually slicing around the two of them, stirring up gusts of foul wind.

Its face is located on its chest, with distorted features and a mouth that stretches to its ears, full of mocking cruelty.

It is containment item 017, the Thousand-Armed Deformity.

"You guys are much more interesting than the other outsiders." The Thousand-Armed Deformity sneered, raising a thin arm and gently stroking the face of one of the team members with his fingernail.

The team member who was slapped coughed up blood, gritted his teeth, and remained silent.

They were hanging upside down, their bodies completely restrained by the other side, and they didn't even have the strength to lift their hands, so there was no way they could fight back.

The thousand-armed monster waved its dozen or so arms simultaneously, making a whooshing sound: "No outsider on this floor will escape."

"Or rather, no one can leave."

It raises its thickest arm and slowly manipulates it, reveling in the fear of its prey's impending death.

And at this time.

The heavy iron gate, which was tightly shut, was suddenly opened from the outside.

Dust fell in a flurry, and dim light shone in from outside the door, falling on a tall, slender figure.

The thousand-armed monster abruptly stopped moving, its face turning towards the figure in the doorway: "Another one?"

It sized the other person up and down, and seeing that the other person was alone, its sneer deepened.

The two Tianfang team members hanging upside down on the iron frame also saw Shen Ye at the door and were taken aback at first.

They recognized him as Shen Ye, the guy who had boarded the ship with them.

The two spoke almost simultaneously, not crying for help, but instead shouting rapidly, "Its core is under the third rib in its chest cavity! It can control the surrounding chains..."

It has to be said that they are a professional team. They did not ask Shen Ye for help, but immediately reported the useful information.

The thousand-armed monster stretched out its dozen or so arms simultaneously, assuming a hunting posture. "What's the use?"

"It's just adding another toy."

Shen Ye stood at the door: "Then I'll call a few more for you to play together."

The moment the words fell.

A massive figure squeezed in first; the three-meter-tall giant bent over as it looked at the monster, nearly bumping into the doorframe.

It emitted a low "woo-woo" sound from its throat, and its yellowish, cloudy eyes were fixed on the thousand-armed deformity, exuding a heavy sense of oppression.

"Um?"

The thousand-armed deformity was somewhat astonishing.

It thought that the people who came in were outsiders like these people, but it turned out to be a containment object.

"This is what we rely on..." it began, but before it could finish its sentence.

Immediately following behind, a little boy in a blue and white school uniform and a videotape ghost in a white dress that trailed on the ground floated in mid-air, their semi-transparent bodies causing the surrounding temperature to drop several degrees instantly.

The human-shaped balloon floated slowly on the ceiling, its deep purple pupils glowing with an eerie light, and an invisible spiritual force had silently spread out.

The rock-like Titan aberration strode in, the ground trembling slightly with each step, its fists clenched so tightly they cracked.

The multi-armed monster climbed in along the wall and stuck to the ceiling, while the dripping ghost huddled in the shadows of the corner, the pattering sound of the dripping water particularly clear.

Finally, the round, chubby Minion came bouncing in, stood beside Shen Ye, ramrod straight, and shouted, "Reporting, Captain! The Midnight Squad is all present!"

One, two, three—eight different types of containment objects filed in, making the spacious containment room seem somewhat crowded.

With each newcomer, the face on the chest of the Thousand-Armed Deformed Man paled a little more.

From initial mockery to gradual astonishment, and finally, upon seeing everyone clearly, the entire monster froze on the spot, its dozen or so arms raised in mid-air, unsure whether to lower them or retract them, its face filled with disbelief.

How did these containment objects end up together?!

It listens to a human?!

What the hell is going on here?

The two Tianfang team members hanging upside down on the iron frame were also dumbfounded.

They opened their mouths, but couldn't utter a word for a long time.

Aren't these all high-risk containment objects? Why are they obediently following behind him?

Their minds went completely blank.

Is this the damn midnight gang?

"You...you all..." The thousand-armed monster's face darkened. "Damn it!"

Without any hesitation, it suddenly attacked Shen Ye from the chains in the darkness.

It wasn't stupid. Although it didn't know why these contained creatures obeyed an outsider, it could change the situation if it could kill this guy.

However, Shen Ye had anticipated this. He took a step back and dodged all the deadly attacks that came at him in an instant, and then said in a calm tone, "Don't kill him."

At a command.

Everyone sprang into action instantly.

Titan roared and charged forward, his fist, as big as a casserole dish, slamming into the Thousand-Armed Deformity with a whooshing sound.

The thousand-armed monster instinctively raised several arms to block, but with a loud "clang," it was knocked back repeatedly, its arms going numb and excruciating pain emanating from its bones; it almost lost the impact.

Before it could recover, the mental shock from the videotape ghost struck.

The cold resentment seeped into his pores like countless fine needles piercing his mind. The Thousand-Armed Deformity felt a sharp pain in his head, and his movements slowed down by half a beat.

Immediately afterwards, the illusionary power of the human-headed balloon spread out, and countless double images appeared in front of the thousand-armed deformity, making it impossible to distinguish which was real and which was fake.

The little boy's laughter rang out at just the right moment, its sharp mental piercing causing a sharp pain in its brain.

The giant-like monster strode forward with heavy steps, its fan-sized hand grabbing its two thickest arms and twisting them violently. With two crisp "crack" sounds, the bones were twisted into a pretzel.

The multi-armed monster swooped down from the ceiling, its countless arms instantly wrapping around all its remaining limbs, suffocating it; the dripping ghost's icy water seeped into its wounds, freezing it stiff and its blood almost congealing.

The whole process took less than ten seconds.

The arrogant and domineering thousand-armed deformity was now firmly pressed to the ground, its dozen or so arms either twisted off or tangled, rendering it unable to move and only able to let out mournful screams.

What core weaknesses, what spatial blockade, are all meaningless in the face of absolute numbers and overwhelming strength.

It didn't even have a chance to use its special skills before it was completely crushed.

"Stop hitting me! Stop hitting me!" The thousand-armed freak convulsed in pain, its face contorted in agony, begging for mercy repeatedly.

I was wrong! Please spare me! Please spare me, Your Honor!

Shen Ye walked over, squatted down in front of it, and said with a smile, "I have a few questions for you."

The thousand-armed deformity shook its head hastily: "My lord, whatever you want to ask, I know! I'll tell you everything! I'll answer everything I know!"

"Where is the entrance to the fourth floor?"

The Thousand-Armed Deformed Man stiffened, his face showing difficulty: "There is indeed an entrance to the fourth level, but it opens randomly. Of the more than seventy doors on the third level, only one leads to the fourth level."

"So that's how it is, it's that easy," Shen Ye muttered to himself.

Is it easy?

Where is it easy?

Opening each door means facing a deadly and extremely dangerous unknown containment object; finding it among so many doors is no easy task.

certainly...

It looked at the lineup behind Shen Ye...

It doesn't seem that difficult.

"Um, sir, may I ask if you want to enter the fourth floor to escape?"

"Hmm? How so?"

It paused, then cautiously added, "There are rumors that the secret to escaping this place lies on the fourth floor, but even if someone gets in, no one has ever come out, so it's always just a rumor."

Shen Ye nodded: "Yes."

Despite the temptation of minor evils, given the current situation, the fourth level is a must-go.

The thousand-armed monster hesitated for a moment: "My lord..."

Can I join the team?

Shen Ye said casually, "Go register with Xiao Huang, and also release the two of them."

"Alright, please forgive me, both of you."

The Thousand-Armed Deformed Being quickly lowered Tianfang and the other person who were hanging up, and went forward to help them land steadily.

Two people from Tianfang:
