It's time to become an evil god.

Upon hearing this, Section Chief Xing immediately turned to Bai Ge and asked with a puzzled expression, "Why do I feel that you are the one who would do such a despicable thing?"

"..."

After saying that, Bai Ge acted instantly. The narrow room did not restrict the display of his strength. Almost instantly, he appeared in front of the humanoid cockroach and directly stuffed the ball in his hand into its chewing mouthparts.

The humanoid cockroach took two steps back, clutching its throat, foaming at the corners of its mouth, looking extremely pained. It stared intently at the creature in front of it, its legs gripping its throat. "Wait, what the hell are you stuffing into my mouth?"

"Camphor balls."

Bai Ge said in a serious tone, "I saw that you weren't in a very good state, so I thought I'd give you some cockroach poison."

"Camphor balls?"

The humanoid cockroach's expression changed drastically, and it shouted, "I'm not sick!"

"I know."

Bai Ge also frankly stated, "I just want you to die."

"..."

The humanoid cockroach suddenly shoved Bai Ge aside, spread its wings, and stumbled as it rapidly flew towards the gap. It then leaped up from the muddy water, trying to get away from the two lunatics.

Having just dealt with the Frankenstein Alliance, Nishizawa Ryo rushed over upon hearing about the large number of floating corpses. He disregarded everything and jumped into the filthy mud, heading towards the gap in the Dead Man's Cave.

Having just learned the inside story of Yaotai Town from headquarters, Xi Zeliang had a vague sense of foreboding. The various accidents that had recently occurred might really be related to the Gate of Hell that briefly opened and closed during the Red Moon.

The corpses buried in the mud didn't frighten him, but a vague unease lingered in his heart; many fragmented clues lacked a connecting thread. He had previously learned from the doll that it wasn't just a man-made deformed product, but also from the previous human-headed salamander, and now the corpses floating on the water—all of which seemed to be driven by an unseen hand.

He trudged through the mud to reach the spot, where a pungent stench filled the air. The broken, damaged parts were covered in slippery grease. As he prepared to venture deeper into the cave, he heard the sound of flapping wings coming from inside, as if something was emerging from within.

"careful!"

With a loud shout, Xi Zeliang saw a cockroach, almost the size of a person, spurt out right up to his face and slam him hard into the black mud, leaving him looking utterly disheveled.

The humanoid monster seemed to have lost its mind, flapping its wings and roaring incessantly.

"Very well, you've hurt me!"

Nishizawa Ryo's gaze was fixed on the bizarre monster in front of him, neither human nor ghost, and a sinister smile appeared on his lips.

"Very well, I'm going to start struggling!"

The humanoid monster was stunned for a moment. It vaguely remembered that it had just bumped into the other party, so why did it look like it was about to die with low health?

The next instant, a bright light emanated from the opponent's chest, and the next instant, his entire body emitted a crackling sound of electricity and a burnt smell.

Even with the mechanical heart's potential being unleashed at high capacity, it still felt that most of its power was rapidly dissipating, making it far less efficient than before.

"is it?"

Nishizawa Ryo looked at his body and muttered to himself, "It seems that the mechanical heart's efficiency will be greatly reduced once it gets wet."

The humanoid cockroach seemed to sense that the other party was willing but unable to do so, so it increased its speed in trying to escape from this place.

After a pause, Nishizawa Ryo continued, "But it's alright, it's more than enough to deal with a Guangdong cockroach."

The humanoid cockroach, flapping its wings and floating in mid-air, vaguely sensed an ominous threat. It tried to flap its wings and escape the scene, but the next second, a powerful attraction prevented it from escaping.

Wait, could it be that this guy...

The ground began to shake.

Metal fragments in the rotting, foul-smelling silt began to float due to the magnetic field. Many dilapidated shared bicycles that had been thrown into the water emerged from the deep silt, along with broken aluminum cans, kitchen knives thrown into the water, and various discarded metal parts, all suspended in mid-air, forming a striking metal magnetic field ring.

Then the metal rings began to converge continuously, as if they were just rough scrap metal pieces pieced together, but in the end they became a huge steel dragon, connected and assembled with shared bicycles as the link, and let out a deafening roar.

The humanoid cockroach, still struggling against the magnetic field, was completely dumbfounded when it saw this scene.

"What the hell is this bizarre monster?"

"Chimera Aggregator Bike Ride".

A sinister smile crept across Xize Liang's face as he coldly said, "Don't blink, this is the last bicycle you'll ever see."

Chapter 120 Welcome to the Sea of ​​Darkness

When Bai Ge crawled out, he saw the monster made of shared bicycles crash headfirst into the humanoid cockroach on his body, smashing it deep into the mud. Its wings and legs were torn to pieces. Even the cockroach monster with its strong vitality never thought that it would die on a bicycle wheel one day.

The wheels ran over his body, leaving only half of his complete body. The remaining half was completely and firmly stuck to the tire of the shared bicycle, and could not be pried off.

Surprisingly, even with only half its body remaining, the humanoid cockroach continued to twitch, its tenacious will to live holding on to its last breath.

It's dead, but not completely dead.

Bai Ge walked up to the humanoid cockroach, pulled out a miniature bottle of life-restoring potion, put it in his mouth, and maintained his last breath.

Xi Zeliang frowned, grabbed his wrist, and said, "Stop trying to save it. Let's give it a quick death. It's not worth continuing to waste energy healing it, and this guy is in a lot of pain too."

Bai Ge shook his head and said, "Whether it's worth it or not doesn't matter. The main thing is to let it experience what it means to be worse than dead."

Nishizawa Ryo's hand trembled slightly as he scrutinized the young man in front of him. Although the other party wasn't human, he was still a real dog.

Upon hearing this inhuman person's name, Nishizawa Ryo's first thought was of the man surnamed Bai in his friend list, who was constantly torn between blocking and keeping him. He hesitated and said, "Could it be that you are...?"

"Mr. Bai, Mr. Bai."

Section Chief Xing emerged from inside, covered in soot, dragging a swollen corpse behind him. He threw it in front of the two men and said, "Look, this corpse looks a bit strange."

Mr. Bai? Could this guy be Bai Ze?

Xi Zeliang suddenly looked at the other person, and the more he looked, the more he felt that the other person had quit his job in the underworld because he couldn't stand the treatment there and came to Xu City to live a life in the underworld.

However, he didn't expose the other person's identity. Players are generally wary of having their true identities revealed in real life. This is why there are so many aggressive players online, while people in real life are generally polite to each other—after all, you can't physically attack someone online. Once his identity is exposed, he might face official intervention, or perhaps a few players seeking revenge.

Bai Ge tried to preserve the sanity of the humanoid cockroach and extract any information about the secrets behind it from its mouth. The corpse before him resembled a child suffering from chronic malnutrition, reduced to skin and bones, its skin so pale and translucent that it was almost transparent. Webbed fingers covered the area between the fingers, and the width of its mouth and the fine teeth were comparable to those of the Joker in Arkham Asylum.

"and many more."

A look of surprise flashed across Bai Ge's eyes. The two people around him looked at him and quickly asked, "Mr. Bai, do you know what this is?"

"Yes, judging from its appearance."

Bai Ge rested his chin on his hand and said in a serious tone, "It is very likely the Little Mermaid of Innsmouth."

"..."

"Aren't the ones in Innsmouth Deepseas? Where did this mermaid come from?!"

After hearing this, Nishizawa Ryo wanted to complain, "And you'd be more believable if you said it was Kos's orphan than a mermaid."

After taking pictures of the contents, Section Chief Xing handed them to the two men and said, "The blood of the corpses seems to be providing energy to the inhuman creatures inside. I have already confirmed the contents of the glass culture container: one is an alien, one is a creature similar to a monster, and the other is a snake with nine heads."

Alien, The Thing, Hydra?

Ryo Nishizawa was startled. Without exception, these monsters were all monsters that had appeared in movies and TV shows. He even suspected that the salamander with a human head was... someone was using some kind of power to project monsters from movies and TV shows into reality? The last thing the puppet said during the interrogation was also intriguing.

The remnants of the old era could not stop the arrival of the new world.

Xu City is now like a leaky wooden bucket, with some players from the Special Affairs Bureau plugging the cracks and holes.

But one day, as the scale of the game continues to expand, it will ignite the powder keg, and perhaps the whole society will fall apart.

Just as Bai Ge was about to ask Xize Liang what he had discovered, she heard the system task notification sound.

He subconsciously looked up and met Xize Liang's gaze.

[Raid Quest: The Silent Sea of ​​Light]

[Instance 1: Rescue Captain Wang Lu]

The next instant, the two of them vanished from their spot.

……

An endless expanse of sea, radiating a dark, deep green light, with a beam of searchlight from an iron ship scanning back and forth across its dark, deep surface.

The slightly surging waves caused a little bump and bounce.

Thick black smoke billowed from the smokestacks of the steam-powered iron ship as it sailed at a steady pace through this eerie sea.

The pen tip scratched against the rough paper, making a rustling sound, but the sound of writing was quickly replaced by the creaking of old metal.

The unshaven man was engrossed in writing a diary entry.

Having spent many years on ships, I've become accustomed to recording my feelings in such turbulent conditions. Writing in my diary is an effort to keep myself connected with the past. Some images and scenes in my mind are gradually fading away. If I didn't have a diary, I might have gone mad long ago.

So every time I take notes, it feels like I'm writing my will.

He dipped his brush in ink and continued writing.

"Recently, I've been hearing eerie, low murmurs, like something is constantly talking in my ear. Damn it, I'm starting to wonder if I have schizophrenia."

"And I often dream of a sinister ancient city silent deep in the sea, chaotic and dark, roaming with indescribable monsters. For some reason, some previously vague memories have gradually become clearer in my dreams, and I recall my days back in school. What bad luck! I just took a nap on a cruise ship, why did I wake up in such a horrible place?"

As he wrote this, the man looked up through the glass out the porthole. This sea was forever devoid of light and warmth; only the pitch-black sky formed by the dark, lightless rock walls and the seawater emitting a ghostly green glow created an eternal night, exuding an eerie atmosphere.

In this underground sea where there are no stars, no moon, only endless, continuous rock walls, light is but a flickering candle, and darkness is the eternal symbol.

"Moreover, the signature dishes of most island towns here taste just like Lao Ba's Secret Recipe Mini Hamburger. Ten years have passed since I came to this world, and I miss crayfish, roujiamo (Chinese hamburger), grilled squid, roasted lamb skewers, Wanzhou grilled fish, and Zhou Hei Ya (a type of braised duck) terribly."

"Damn it, after all these years, I still haven't found out the most accurate information about the wishing machine. I'm even starting to have doubts. Is this thing just a lie made up by some bored guy? Will I be trapped in this sea of ​​darkness until death comes..."

Boom!

A muffled bang startled the man to his feet. He looked up in horror to find a black cloud of lightning and fire above the steamship, with flashes of light emanating from it and steadily approaching the steamship.

The captain grabbed his coat and straw hat, rushed out of the lounge, ran to the bridge, and shouted, "First mate, hard to port! Get out of that black fog!"

The first mate, pipe in mouth, turned the helm with all his might and said anxiously, "Captain, it's no use! This cloud of smoke seems to be stuck to us; we just can't shake it off!"

The next instant, a bolt of lightning struck the deck, sending up a series of blue sparks. The captain was heartbroken and beat his chest in frustration.

After the dazzling electric light faded, five unfamiliar, uninvited guests appeared out of nowhere on the deck.

The first mate's face paled in fright, and he quickly turned around and shouted to the sailors behind him, "What are you all standing there for! Grab your weapons! Something strange has boarded the ship! Bring me my gun!"

"and many more."

The captain waved his hand, his eyes fixed on the five strangers dressed in modern clothes. He reached for his holster and asked, "Who are you five?"

Bai Ge stepped forward and scanned the wary crew members. "You don't recognize any of the five of us?"

The captain racked his brains but couldn't recall anything, so he shook his head.

Bai Ge calmly stated, "We are the Four Emperors."
